tull * of the How ,
The- democrats ot the Ninth congressional
district held their stele convention In
Dohany's opera house yesterday afternoon.
The outcome of the convention was pretty
well determined bcforo the chairman's gavel
fell , for It had been a fcrcg.ne conclusion
that General James t ) . Weaver , the pcpullst
candidate for congress , would be the nom
inee , and that a resolution advocating the
free and unlimited coinage of silver would be
adopted , but everybody looked for a deuce
of a t me In bringing about tlic.se t\v-i thlhgs ,
and everybody was not dlsappalnted.
Chairman S. B. Wadsworth of the con
gressional committee called the meeting to
order In the forenoon and recommended for
temporary chairman O. W. Culllson of
Hnrlan , nnd fr secretary G. E. Ferguson of
Harrison county. These two gentlemen took
their places on the platform , and Mr. Culll
son made a speech along the usual lines ,
which provoked but little stir until he came
to the close of his speech , when be besought
all democrats to go out and elect whomso
ever the ccnvcnfon should nominate ,
whether the candidate was satisfactory to
them personally or not.
This remark seemed to Indicate that he
was n fuslonlst , nnd Frank Allen , the editor
ot the Greenfield Advocate , thought It was
time declare himself.
" \Vo don't come here as p'pullsts , but as
dcmocrata , " ho shouted. "If a democrat Is
nominated we will nil sing 'Glr > Hallelujah , '
but if Weaver Is put up , he will find he has
n great many enemies. "
At this point In his remark he was In
terrupted by J. J. Shea of Pottawattamle ,
who rose to a point of order. The point was
sustained and Allen sat down.
On motion of R. N. Whlttlesey a call of
counties was had , and the following commit
tees were chosen :
Credentials R. M. Carpenter ot Audubon ,
A. Gardner of Cass , John Menges of Guthrlc ,

G. W. Culllson of Shelby and S. Y. Cornell
of Adalr.
The convention then adjourned until 1:30 :
p. m.
m.OPENED THE FRAY EASILY.
At the afternoon session the committee
on permanent organization recommended P.
P. Kelley of Glenwood for chairman , G. E.
Ferguson of Loan ( for clerk and S. Y. Cor
nell of Adalr county for reading clerk. The
report was adopted , but Cornell was found
to be sick and R. Harris of Missouri Val
ley was chosen to fill the place. The com-
mlttco on credentials made their report , and
Chairman Kelley made a very short speech ,
in which ho said that "this was the time for
action we can dlcuss the question after
wards. "
Kelley of Pottawattamlo tried to get rid
of one troublesome thing without further ado
and moved that the nomination of a con
gressional candidate be made at once with
out waiting for the report of the committee
on resolutions. He was voted down by a
large majority. Chairman Shea of the com
mittee soon hove In sight , bearing a manu
script in his hand , which he proceeded to
read.
read.On
On all the planks of the platform but one
the committee had agreed. The resolutions
favored a national committee of arbitration
for disagreements between employers and
employes ; endorsed the Income tax ; favored
the election of senators by direct vote of the
people and bound the nominee of the conven
tion to do all In his power to bring such a
thine about ; denounced all senators who are
standing In the way of the passage of the
Wilson tariff bill , and endorsed President
Cleveland's letter to Congressman Wilson.
The plank upon which , there was a dis
agreement was the first one In the platform ,
that with reference to silver. The majority
of the committee favored the free and un-
llmltd coinage of silver at the ratio of 1C
to 1 , without the consent of any other na
tion on earth. The reading of this plank pro
voked loud shouts of Joy from a part of the
democrats and a great many populists who
hud scattered themselves around promiscu
ously among the delegates.
Judge E. Wlllard of Atlantic had a minor
ity report which he then read. This report
recommended that the plank in the state
platform providing for the free coinage of
silver so far as It could be done without
depreciating the value of the gold dollar bo
substituted for the silver resolution presented
by the majority of the committee. Ho
moved the adoption of this minority report
and made a speech In Its favor.
PLEADED FOR HARMONY.
"This vls a democratic convention , " said
he , "and I believe wo should put ourselves
in accord with the democrats of the state
and the United States. It is not our duty
nor within our power to make a platform
and Inject Into It something not In harmony
with the democratic state platform. I am
in favor of maintaining the parity of gold
and silver not of putting Into circulation a
depreciated currency. If wo throw open
our gates and Invite the whole world to
bring in their silver for coinage , how much
would your silver dollar be worth In a little
while ? "
"A hundred cents , " shouted out some one
In the rear of the room.
"Throw him out , " "Don't listen to him , "
came from a score or more of democratic
and popullstlc throats. For as much as a
minute there was a hullabaloo that promised
to break up the convention In a free-for-all
fight , but finally the confusion died down
Bulllclently BO that J. J. Shea could make
himself heard. . . . . . . . . .
"
"Mr. Chairman , " said he , "I move that
the chair appoint two scrgeants-at-arms ,
with Instructions to eject from the room any
one who interrupts the speaker again. "
A little fat man on the west side of the
room seconded the motion. It was carried
and Shea and the little fat man were ap
pointed to servo In the capacity of ofllclal
bouncers ot the convention. But their serv
ices were not needed , for Shea had shown
his ability as a scrapper In the morning be
fore the opening ot the convention and none
of the democrats or populists who had been
raising the row were disposed to question It.
Judge Wlllard went on with his speech ,
opposing the free coinage resolution , finally
closing with the words : "Give us a demo
cratic platform and then nominate as your
candidate a man who has been with us all
these years not one who next year , perhaps ,
will be off In Arizona trying to link his for
tune with some other political party. "
Shea then stepped to the front In support
of the majority report. Ho held that the
state platform did not bind the delegates tea
a congressional convention any more than the
national platform bound the candidates who
were elected upon It. He then read the
silver plank from the democratic platform of
189- , and then called the attention of the
convention to the fact that Secretary Carlisle
had gone right In the face of It and depleted
the national treasury by paying off all obli
gations of the country in gold , instead of In
silver , as tin platform had said. Ills remark
to the effect that every man who la In favor
of corporations or trusts Is opposed to the
free coinage ot silver called forth delighted
howls from the populists and free silver dem-
f rats , and when lie had finished the conven-
. on was prepared to sit dona cheerfully
upon Judge Wlllard ami his minority report.
This was accomplished by a vote of 70 tn 21.
Potlnwattnmlc's delecatlon voted for free
silver solidly , although I. F. Hcndrlcke pro
tested against his vote being reckoned In
on that nlde. The. unit rule worked , how
ever , and he was putted Into .line , much
against his will. The Adalr , Guthrle , Mills
nnd Montgomery delegations voted solidly
for I he free silver plank , while the Casi
county delegation voted as solidly against It.
The other counties were divided on the ques
tion. The majority report was then adopted
by n vote of the same kind.
WEAVER WON IN A WALK.
The attempt to fuse with the populists on
the nomination of General Weaver was then
accomplished on the first ballot. There were
but two candidates , and the vote was as
follows :
Counties. J. H. Weaver. L. L. DP Lnno

On this vote Ira F. Hcmlrlcks ot Council
Bluffs also relieved himself of the unpleas
ant duty ot shouldering Weaver by having
W. II. Ware announce that his personal pref
erence was for L. T. Gcnung , although he
had to go with his twenty-three com
patriots.
As soon as the result of the ballot had
been announced Frank Allen of Greenfield
Jumped to his feet and said , "Mr. Chairman ,
I thought this was a democratic convention. "
lie was about to deliver himself of some
more oratory , but the convention began a
chorus of cat calls and yells that wasted
his sweetness on the desert air. Shea and
n number of other delegates very magnani
mously wanted to let him talk , but there was
so little let up In the confusion that Allen
stuck his hat on his head and stalked In a
dignified manner from the room , exclaiming ,
"Very well. I will withdraw from this con
vention. " He was followed soon after by
the otlar members ot his delegation.
General Weaver was In the city , but he
did not show up at the convention hall. As
soon as the meeting ndjoruned he was found
In a buggy Just outside the door with Henry
Spetnmn. He held an Informal reception on
the street corner , shaking hands with all
the democrats and populists who presented
themtehes for the operation , but he re
frained from making a speech.
As the convention was wafting Itself
through the outside door Hon. Thomas Bow
man , who had been an Interested spectator ,
said to a friend :
"Well , that's an awful dose to swallow ,
but I cuess we'll have to swallow it. At
any rate I can swallow It a good deal better
than a good many of the men who plugged
up tinscheme. . "

when he met him on the street one day last

DES M01NES , Aug. 8. ( Special Telegram
to The Bee. ) The shippers at many points
throughout the state remote from DCS
Molnes are agitating for supplemental hear
ings on the petition ot the railroads for an
Increase In freight rates , en account of the
expense that would be entailed by a trip to
DCS Molncs to attend the general hearing
of all parties Interested , which Is to occur
at the office of the railroad commissioners
at the ccpttol on August 21. It seems
probable that the commissioners will grant
tlio request. A peculiar feature of the peti
tion ot the railroads Is the fact that It
makes no specific request for a stated In
crease on a specific article. It has been the
custom heretofore to ask merely for an In
crease In certain parts of the schedule , and
In case It was granted to append the change
to the schedule of rates as adopted and pub
lished. Prom the nature of the petition , It
Is presumed the roads will ask for a general
Increase In rates on all classes of goods.
The annual reports of the railroads of the
state for the year 1S93 , show that more men
were employed than for several years In all
departments cf the road , and that a higher
average rate of wages was paid.

DES MOINES , Aug. 8. ( Special Telegram
to The Bee. ) Colonel Joseph Elbolck , who
was defeated In the Des Molnes postofflce
contest by E. H. Hunter , today published the
following card , which Is self-explanatory :
"Inasmuch as statements have been made by
parties , the publication of whose own official
record has been so distasteful to them as to
canscthe charge to be made that the Western
Union Telegraph company has been false to
Its trust by divulging private correspondence ,
I dcslro to state with all possible emphasis
that no Information of any kind whatever
was given to me by any officer or employe
of the Western Union company. What I
have made public , as well as that which I
have reserved , was brought to me by persons
who received It directly from the principals
In this matter. "

that he will grant our request. I have
heard of many threats to destroy cur prop
erty , and theta buildings are too expensive
to be destroyed. There was no reason for
this strike , and I don't th.nk the men can
force us to wait until the packers at Kansas
City and other points come to time with
their employes befcre we can start our
plants In full blast again. We arc receiving
live stock In plenty for each day's killing ,
and are shlpp ng out our trains of dressed
beef In refrigerators regularly. The strikers
have endeavored to get the switchmen to
reufso to lit mile any of our cars In hope
that this would help them , but so far as I
can learn , the switchmen are not In sym
pathy with any such mvement. " ,
Superintendent Noyes of Hammond's packIng -
Ing establishment said : "Tho situation Is
about the same as It was on yesterday , but
the strikers have now begun molesting our
employes , and In several Instances have com
mitted brutal assaults , We have about all
the men we can use at present , and are kill
ing both beef and hogs. I do not look for
any change In the situation for at least an
other day. If our men were not Intimidated
wo could have a half dozen men for every
Job In the building. "
The fire steamer now located at No. 3
engine house at Eighteenth and Harney
streets will be removed to No. 12's house , at
Twentieth and Vlnton streets , for the rest

possibility of a packing house lire atSouth
Omaha , In which emergency the steamer
could bo pulled to South Omaha in a very
short time. .The order for the rtmoval of
the steamer was Issued by Chief Galllgan
yesterday afternoon , and It will probably bo
left at Its new location as long as the strike
continues.

LA SALLE , III. , Aug. 8. In attempting to
arrest a Polish miner named Joseph Schur-
man , a desperate character , this morning ,
Schurman was fatally shot and three dep
uty sheriffs were wounded with saber
thrusts.
Deputy Sheriffs Thomas Hanlcy , A. A.
Coloy , Michael Brcnnan and Thomas Bren-
nan went to the home of Joseph Schurman ,
who with his wife occupies rooms In his
parents' house. The sheriffs surrounded the
house to prevent an escape , Schurman hav
ing twice before got away from the officers.
He is a notorious , vicious , desperate char
acter , and was wanted for the prominent
part he played In the riots In the Union
shaft six weeks ago , when the company men
at work were so brutally beaten as they
came from the shaft.
Deputy Sheriff Hanlcy went to the door of
the house and knocked. Receiving no reply
he went to the window and heard the rattle
of something that afterwards proved to be
cavalry sabers , which the Inmates had kept
stored under the beds. Hanley opened the
blinds and was met with Anton Schurman ,
Joseph's father , who brandished a long sa
ber and tried to cut Hanley's ho.id off. Then
an entrance was forced Into the house by
breaking In the door , and the sheriffs were
confronted wlh the older and younger
Schurmans and their wives , all armed with
cavalry sabers. A determined effort was
made by the sheriffs to disarm their op
ponents , and It was not until one of their
number , A. A. Colcy , had been dangerouslj
wounded that they resorted to the use of
firearms. Three shots were fired , and young
Schurman fel' to the flocr mortally wounded
The miners living In the neighborhood hear
ing the shots rushed from their homes to
the scene of the disturbance , and an effort
was made to mob the sheriffs. A tele
phone message was sent to the militia bar
racks , and their prompt response probably
saved the lives of the deputy sheriffs , who
were by this time surrounded by an angry
and determined mob of desperate foreigners ,
many of whom were armed.
The militia men used their bayonets and
dispersed the mob. The Incident has
aroused the anarchistic element , who are
vowing vengeance against the deputies , but
soldiers are now on guard around the hotel
where the wounded deputy Is lying. A
state of Intense excitement preva.ls , and It
is feared there will be more bloodshed before
the day Is over.

SiiltiillonUta Attacked ,
QUEBEC , Auc , S. The city Is In the
hands ot a motJT Protestant mission houses
have been wrecked In three different paita
of the city by a howling body of rioters ,
variously estimated at fmn 2,50J tu 5,000 , and
the police hero could'not , or would not , make
a single arrest. The mob \\its altogether
French-Canadian. The Irish Catholics held
aloof.
It was a cowardly mob. 11 did not start
out to fighting men , but to attack women and
missionaries. The rioters also belonged to
St. Roches and St. Snuver. They wJro
doubtless Inflamed by the utterances of a
French newspaper here , which dc'scrlbcd a
Baptist mission hoiuc In the French-Cana
dian suburbs ot St. Roches as a Salvation
army barracks , and in a leference to mur
derous assaults committed In Quebec streets
some years ago upon members of the army ,
said : "The Salvation Army gills have short
memories. They will remain quiet if they
know what Is good for them , timl not at
tempt the conquest ot the population ot St.
Roches. "
The Baptists opened their mission houses
on Sunday. Its services are all In French ,
nnd Its object was believed to bo the at
tempted conversion of French Catholics. As
the main body of the police who had been
signaled for came up the mob moved away ,
ascending the hill to St. Johns suburbs. They
sacked the smull French mission house of
the Angilclnn church In George street ,
though no tervico was being held there at
the time. They left hero and reached the
Salvation army barracks before the police.
On the arrival of the police here , they started
back to the scene of their first exploits In St.
Roches , to finish the work commenced thiire.
The Inadequacy of the police force , or Its
unwIllliiKness to act creates general uneasi
ness. U Is reported that the Royal Canada
artillery Is confined to Its barracks and that
ammunition Is being served out , but no con
firmation can be had. Meanwhile there will
llkelv be n short truce to hostilities ,
for no further services can be held In the
buildings until repairs are made. Mayor
Park has been waited upon by mission
aries , and promised them If they resumed
their meetings they should be protected in
their worship with all the police at the
command of the city.
The
Chocolat > Menier.
His reasons art :
Tea nnd Coffee create nervousness with
a people too nervous already ;
Bitter Chocolates are not fit to make a cup
of chocolate ; cheap ( sweet ) chocolates are
impure , hence Injurious ;
COCOA is no more like CHOCOLATE
than Skimmed Milk is like Cream.
Chocolat-Menier is an eiquisite Vanilla
Chocolate , as nourishing as meat , as low
priced as other beverages , anil.ir superior.
