Oxaha. Aug. 23. In the Nebraska
Democratic coavention Edgar Howard
was made permaaent chairmaa without
oppoaitioB and the nominations ware
made by acclamation.
After speeches of minor importance,
babbling over with sUrer sentimeat
and opposition to the A. P. A., thejeom
Bmittee" reported the following resola-
tioBs:'
We, the Democrats of Nebraska, in coa
vention assembled, reaffirm our faith ia
those principles written in the Declaration
of Ajaerican Independence and emphasised
by Jefferson and Jackson, namely, that all
men are created equal; that they are en
dowed by their creator with certain in
alienable rights, among which are life, lib
.srty and the pursuit of happiness; that
governments are instituted among men to
secure these rights, and that governments
derive their just powers from the consent
of the governed; and we demand that .all
of the departments of the government, leg
islative, executivo and judicial shall be
administered in accordance with these
principles.
We reaffirm the declaration made by the
last Democratic state convention held ia
Nebbraska on Sept. 26, 1891,
Wo believe that the restoration of the
money of the constitution is now tho para
mount issue before the country, and insist
that all parties shall plainly state, thelt
respective positions upon the question, In
order that the voters may intelligently ex-'
press their preference. We, therefore, de
clare ourselves in favor of 'tho immediate
restoration of the free and unlimited coin
age of gold and silver at the present legal
ratio of 16 to 1, as such coinage existed
prior to 1873, without waiting for the aid
or consent of any other nation, such gold
and silver coin to be a full legal tender for
all debts, public and private,
We send greeting to our Democratic
brethern throughout .the Union, who are
making such a gallant fight for the restor
ation of bimetallism, and congratulate
them upon the progress mode.
We deprecate and denounce as un-American
and subversive of the principles of
free government any Attempt to control
the action or policy of tho political parties
of this country by uecret cabals or organi
zations of any character, and warn the
people against the danger to our institu
tions which lurks under any such secret
organization, whether on religious, politi
cal or other differences of .opinion.
Recognizing that the stability of our in
stitutions must rcst.on the virtuo and in
telligence of the people we stand, as 'in
the past, in favor of the free common
school system of this state, and declare
that the some must be perpetual and
receive liberal .financial support, and that
the management and control of said school
system should be nousectarian .and non
partisan. The Democracy of Nebraska approves
and commends the declaration of Presi
dent Cleveland in the past in' condemn
ing the pernicious activity of incumb
ents of federal offices under tho govern
ment in attempting to control the policy
and nominations of their parties, anil
we hereby recommend the renewal of the
policy of ills first administration in that
regard.
A delegate attempted to place the fol
lowing before the convention as the
minority report:
We commend the administration of
President Cleveland as being able, patri
otic and honest; reaffirm the platform
adopted by the Democratic National con
vention at Chicago in 1892.
Scarcely had the first word been'
uttered when" there was such a roar that
order was not restored for 10 minutes,
when the resolution was tabled without
comment.
Hon. W. J. Bryan and other Nebraska
Democrats addressed the convention on
financial issues in the evening.

Attorney General George A. Fairbanks

The'Democratic state convention here
made all its nominations without oppo
sition. The convention was in session
from 10:10 to 2 p. m. and nominations
were completed in a half hour after ex
Governor Campbell had been drafted
for the standard bearei. The ballots
were all on the minority report, on
credentials and resolutions, and the time
was consumed between the gold and sil
ver men.
The gold men, headed by Senator
Brice, had claimed there would be less
than 300, and probably not more than
200 of the 800 delegates vote for free
silver. The silver men churned they
would have no less than 300, and per
haps 3.0 delegates for free silver. - It
developed that there were 270 free silver
delegates. It was a fighting minority,
but would not carry the fight further
than on .the platform. The nominee for
member of the board of public works is
said to be the only free silver men on
the state ticket, although lines were not
drawn ou the candidates. - -
Qaay'a Opponents Ceandeat..
Harrisbcro, Pa., Aug. 27. Senator
Quay and his followers made a bold
dash in the fight for Republican su
premacy in this state, by taking posses
sion' of the state committee and depos
ing B. F. Gilkeson from the chairman
ship. The object in doing this was to
place themselves in position to prepare
the.rolls of the delegates to Wednes
day's convention, so that they might
appear before that body ' with a prima
facie case. What tha effect of this
move will be cannot yet be foretold,
and the next move of the Hastings
people is looked for with great interest.
The situation in general is intensely ex
citing and altogether uncertain. Both,
.factions are claiming victory.

scanning every incoming train in the
hope of locating the reverend gentle
man and extending to him the aid of
the' law for. the purpose of extracting
him from the cinches of a man by
name of Owen. Who this man Owen
is, or why he maintaius his grip -on the
preacher, no one in Omaha knows. As

be an officer of the law who desires to
place the preacher In legal custody.

SUICIDE OF A NEBRASKAN.
War
Department Clerk Kills Btmtalf at
' PltUbarg.
Pittsburo, Aug. 27. W. W. Kittel
of Washington, D. C.,' shot and instant-1
ly killed himself at Hotel Wylie, on
Sixth street, at 8:55 Monday morning.
Mr. Kittel was probably U0 years of
age. Little is known about him. It is
believed that he was connected with
the war department at Washington.
A telegram from Washington says
that W. W. Kittel was a clerk in the
record and pension division of the' war
department.' There seems, says the
telegram, to be some melodramatic mys
tery behind, his death, which cannot be
cleared up at present. The record of
the department shows he was appointed
in 1891 from Nebraska.
. -Kittel was engaged to Miss Olive
Wylie, the wedding to have -occurred
last 'Saturday. Kittel surprised his
sweetheart very much on Friday night
by telling her that the wedding would
have to be postponed for a short time,
because he was broken down in health'
and had obtained a seven dayY leave of
absence from the office and intended
going away for a short time to try and
recuperate. Miss Wylie is prostrated
and can throw no light on the tragedy.
Runaway Boya Hart.
Sedaua, Mo., Aug. VI. Charles A.
Van Sinlo and Frank Knell, each 15
years old. ran away from their homes
in this city and went to sleep on the
Missouri Pacific track near Centretown.
A pusher engine struck the boys, injur
ing the former about the shoulders and
neck. Knell's skull was crushed and
the brain exposed.
BULL FIGHTS ARE DECLARED OFF.
People Weald Net Pntrentee the Dfaft-natlns-KzhlhRieaa,
Cripple Cheek, Cola, Aug. 27. Not
to exceed 200 people went to Gillett to
see the bull fight and on account of the
slim attendance no killing was done.
The socalled fiesta is at an .end and the
people are heartily glad. Financially
the "show has proved a flat failure..
Those connected with the management
of the affair have been arrested three
times since Saturday afternoon, charged
with cruelty to animals, but all have
settled by the payment of comparatively
small fines, 95 and costs being the
amount 'women' in' nearly all the cases.
It is not likely there will be any fur
ther prosecution in connection with, the
affair. The prise 'fight arranged be
tween George Hall and Frenchy Os
borne failedto come- off, the pugilists
being disgusted at the prospects of
drawing a crowd.
Denhy Detng Evetjthlae;
WASEfrxcrrox, Aug. 27. Minister
Denby has not yet advised the state de
partment concerning the present situa
tion in China. Acting Secretary Adae
said the minister was not the kind of a
man to report what he intended to do
or to report progress at certain stages of
business he has in hand,- but he would
be more likely to. report an accepted
fact. He has no doubt that the min
ister was doing all that was possible
to do.
Sak Francisco, Aug. 28. The at
torneys for Theodore Durrant have two
witness, Marias Burnett and Edward
McPherson,by whom they expect to prove
that their client was on Market street

library of Emanuel church. Durrant
himself will trace his movements on
that night

The defease contended that the state

WOBK OF A MOB.
FOUR MURDERERS TAKEN FROM JAIL
.AND LYNCHED.'
Yxxka, CaL, Aug. . Four marder-
en were taken from the county
a mob of 350 man at 1 o'clock
aadlynched. A band of cJrhtias, fear
iag that the law would not be carried
out and angered over the atrcrity of re
cent crimes, determined to take rashers
into their own hands. 'Xalynching
was a ghastly climax to '.V reign of
lawlessness which has prev.iasd in Sis
kiyou county for soma months past.
One of the victims was Lawrdnoe John
'son, who, on the evening oT July 2K,
stabbed his wife to death in the town
of Etna. Another was William Null.'
who shot Hnry Hayter in the back
with a rifle near Callahan's on April 21.
Louis Moreno and Garland Soomler,
who are supposed to have killed George
Sears and Casper Meirerhans at Bailey
HiH on Aug. 5, were also hanged.
At 1 J at night farmers from all parti
af the surrounding country began to
drive into town, and by midnight the
mob was ready to march to the county
jail. Before taking a step, however,
every precaution was taken to prevent
the plans of the lynchers from being
frustrated by the officers of the law.
The sheriff and one of his deputies were
decoyed to another part of town by two
members of the mob, who were engaged
In a sham fight, and the fire bell
muffled to prevent an alarm being gi
in that way. When, the jail
reached the mob, all r of whom were
masked, awakened Under Sheriff Red
ford and demanded the keys to the lail.
He positively refused to open the door
or give the keys up, telling them that
if they broke in the doors he would
blow their brains out."
- The mob got on top f the stone wall
which surrounds the jail. Deputy
Sheriff Henry Brahtlacht, who has been
sleeping in the jail since the commit
ment of so many murderers, thinking
some one-was :escaping from the jail,
fired two shots out of the window to
alarm City Marshal Parks and Deputy
Sheriff -Radford. He then opened -the
doors and was immediately held up by
the mob, who took the keys from him
and entered the jail. Having no keys
to the different cells they were com
pelled to burst the locks with a sledge
hammer, which they proceeded to do at
once..
Lawrence Johnson, who brutally
stabbed bis wife, wss the first to receive,
the attention of the mob. They broke
the lock from the door of his cell and
placing a rope around his neck, led him
out of the jail across' the street to
where an iron rail had been laid be
tween the .forks of two locust trees.
Johnson pleaded for mercy, but the
silent gathering gave no heed to him
and he' was quickly strung up, dying
from strangulation in .a few .minutes.
The mob returned to-the jail and next
broke into the cell of William Null,
who shot Henry. Hayter at Callahan's
on April 21 in a. dispute over a mining
property. Null desired to make a state
ment, but time was too valuable to per
mit any such preliminaries and he was
soonl hanging alongside of Johnson.
Louis Moreno, who was charged .with
having killed George Sears on the 5th
of this month, was then taken from bis
cell and was soon swinging with John
son and Null.
The last and youngest of the four
murderers to pay the penalty of his
crime was' Garland Seemler, aged about
19, who, in company with Moreno, was
charged with having killed Casper
Meircbans. A rope was placed around
his neck and he was led from the jail in
-his bare feet. He begged for mercy
and his last words were: "Tell my dear
old mother I am-innocent of thecrime.'r
About this time Sheriff Hobbs, hav-
ing been notified, arrived on the scene
and starting for the jail door, wa3 com
manded to halt, the command being
emphasized by the display of several re
volvers. He was told that. the "job"
had been done. By this time the greater
part of the mob had disappeared, leav
ing only about 30 or 40 men on guard,
who soon left after the sheriff arrived.
The bodies were taken down by Coro
ner . Shofield and Marshal Parks, who
removed them in a wagon to an engine
house, where they were laid side by
aide. The coroner has summoned a
jury to hold an inquest. Trekaisa
little mining town and years ago was
frequently 'the scene of mob-violence.
Jee Fetches Won the
Chicago. Aug. -24. Joe Patchen won
the great race . against John R. Gentry
in straight heats. The race took place
on the famous Washington park track,
but as a wind that amounted almost to
a gale blew all afternoon, a sensational
time performance was out of the ques
tion. The three heats were- covered in
2:05J, 2:07 and 2H)7J. Nevertheless
the contest is regarded as one of the
soost important that has taken place on
the trotting or pacing turf.

PARIS POLICE ARE PERPLEXED,
Anthers ef the Attempt to) Kill RethsehlM
Paris, Aug. 27. The efforts of tho
police' to discover the authors of tbejrt
tampt upon the life of Baron Alphonse
de Rothschild on Saturday by sending
him an infernal machine disguised as a
mail package, which exploded when
opened by the banker's confidential
clerk, M. Jodkowitz, badly maiming
him, have proved unavailing up to the
present time. The authorities, how
ever, are confident that it was tha work
of anarchists, and 90 suspected anarch
ists have been arrested, examined and
obliged to give the police specimens of
their handwriting. They were subse
quently discharged. M. Jodkowitz con
tinues to improve. '
An anarchist was arrested at Vie Syr
Cere, department of Cantal,"upon the
information of the postmistress of that
place, who declares that the man taken
into custody posted a letter similar to
the one received at the Rothschild's
bankiag house on Saturday.
