Quay is the hero as well as the idol of
Pennsylvania politicians of all degrees

His rooms at the
Lochie'l hotel
have been con
stantly besieged
since the conven
tion ended by
men calling -to
pay homage to
his matchless
leadership. The
senator takes all
of the praise and
con gratnlations
that are being
it, 8. quay. showered upon
him with his usual stoicism, and, so far
as outward appearances go, his de
meanor is just the same as when the
fight seemed going against him.
The convention, which started out
with every promise of beiug oue of the
most exciting ever known to the state,
developed into a "love feast" and wound
up about as tamely as any ever seen
here. The first battle between the
factions came on the election of a
temporary chairman. The Quay candi
date won by a majority of a, and after
this the senator had his own way com

Lixcolx, Aug. 30. At the Populis"
convention Senator W. W. Allen was
elected permanent chairman, and after
numerous speeches the convention ad
journed until evening.
When the committee on platform and
resolutions reported a spirited debate
ensued over the plank indorsing initia
tive and referendum. A. A. Bryant
presented a minority report, in which
all reference to these were left out.
Alexander Irvine of Douglas called
attention to its beneficial results in the
cantons of Switzerland. The platform
as reported by the majority and adopted
follows:
We, the People's parry of the state of
Nebraska, in convention assembled, do
put forth the following platform of
principles:
We herebv reaffirm the principles of
the Omaha platform.
We declare ourselves in favor of strict
economy in conducting the affairs of
the state government in all its branches.
We believe the judicial affairs of the
state should be conducted on the princi
ples of justice and honesty, without
partisan bias, and in the interests of the
people.
The Omaha platform had recom
mended the i tiative and referendum.
It was the intention of Bryant's minor
ity report to adopt the Omaha platform,
minus this recommendation. Upon this
point the debate waxed warmed. The
referendum won. Then a resolution de
claring the party opposed to establishing
a religious test for office was adopted.
It declares for a public school system of
a nonsectarian character.

TAYLOR MUST GO TO PRISON.
South Dakota Supreme Court's Decision Ia
the Defaulter's Case.
Pierre, S. D., Aug. 31. The supreme
court today handed down a decision re
inanding ex-State Treasurer Taylor to
the sheriff, who will leave with him for
the penitentiary tonight. The opinion
was on the jurisdiction of the lower court
in giving sentence in excess of the gen
eral embezzlement law. The court
holds that the lower court did not ex
ceed its jurisdiction, that after Taylor
has served two years he can test the
validity cf the 5-year sentence. The
opinion was given by Judge Corson.
Judge Kellain concurred by reason of
the weight of authorities making it a
rule to correct the decisions of the lower
court rather than to annul them, in or
der to prevent the failure of justice.

Accident the Resale of Water Breakiaa;
Ia From an Adjoining: Abandoned Mine.
! Central Orv, Colo., Aug. 81.
t Twenty-nine men were, working in the
Sleepy Hollow and Americas mines
! when last night's flood disaster occurred.
' All who escaped were engaged at points
! above the line" of the break. All below
' at the time wore almost instantly sub
' Merged, and their bodies must lie there
for weeks. The names of the dead are:
Olivia Patxosteb. aged 35; married.
Amu Apancini, aged 47; married.

The. calamity is one which had not
been unexpected. The workings of
mines are so situated that Gregory, Bob
Tail and the Fiske have been forced to
combat a strong flow of water, tne
pumping of which by them left the
Sleepy Hollow and Americus practically
dry.
I When the Fiske owners failed to ar
J range satisfactorily with their neighbors
to meet a share of the pumping expenses
they
allowed the water to raise in the
lower works, and this- large reservoir"
stood above the workings of the adjoin
ing mines, a constant menace to those
working beneath. The Sleepy Hollow,
Americus and Fiske are on the same
vein of ore. The first two are connected
by drifts at the 400 foot level; the
Americus and Fisko are separated by a
wall of ore standing iu the vein at the
joint end Hues. So much greater is the
system of underground workings in the
Fiske than those of its end line neigh
bors that the rush of water from the
three levels above the point of the break
was quite sufficient to fill the entire
workings of tho two. The Americus
filled first below the 400 foot level, and
it was no appreciable tinio before water
was pouring from it into the Sleepy Hol
low through the air tunnel connection
on the level where the break occurred.

Inr of Tanesa Cold-Blooded Harder.
Washington, Aug. 81. The depart

United States district attorney and mar
shal of Wyoming the official reports of
their investigation into the Bannock In
dian troubles made by the direction of
the attorney general. The reports are
dated Aug-. 23. The district attorney
for Wyoming reports as follows:
"I have no donbt whatever that the
killing of the Iudian Tanega on or about
the 13th of July was an atrocious, out
rageous and cold blooded murder; and
it was a murder perpetrated on the part
of Constable Manning and his deputies
in pursuanco of a scheme and conspir
acy on their part to prevent the Indians
from exercising a right and privilege,
which is, in my opinion, very clearly
guaranteed to them by the treaty be
fore mentioned. Should the prosecu
tion on the part of the-United States be
determined upon it would be useless to
commence it before a commissioner."
The district attorney has been advised
that the department concurs with him
in the opinion that there is no federal
statute under which tho offenders can
be puuishedU

commenced operations when the rains
came and filled their ditches to over
flowing and they must now wait the
action of Old Sol and a drying wind.
There was no winter wheat harvested
in this vicinity this summer owing to
the absence of snow and rain iu the
winter and spring, consequently very
little of that cereal is being sown this
fall. It is also notable that leas rye than
usual is beiug sown, probably because of
the partial failure last harvest. Fall
pasture and all vegetation has made a
vigorous growth, which will make
abundant feed until solid winter weather.
