Fred Larson , n nephew of Chris Larson ,

is nursing a broken foot In consequence.
The accident was not due to any faulty con

pOf the foot were fractured. There was an
immense crowd at Fnlrmotint park yester
day afternoon and evening , and the people
wcro splendidly entertained by the two con

The largest Sunday crowd that has been
at Lake Mnnnwa this season was there yes
terday to see Prof. Menler make his death-

over 000 feet In the : ilr , and of course too
close to the earth to use the parachute , so
the professor kept In his swing until the
balloon touched terra flrma. The balloon
being relieved of his weight , shot up Into
the air again and floated off about two
iinllcs. He also made his wonderful dive
from a ninety-foot tower at 8 p. m. Today

Vomit ; Tliulx-r Thief Arr < < Ntci1.
Sylvester Katzenstcln , residing at 2204
Avenue O , and his 17-year-old son , Wil
liam , were arrested yesterday by Deputy
United States Marshal Hcllwlg on the
charge of stealing government property. For
some time past parties have been stealing
the piling used by the government at the
rlp-rapplng works on the Missouri about
two miles up the river from Council IJluffs.
A few nights ago Pat McKcnnan , the night
watchman , caught the Katzenstclns In the
act of cutting up a fifty-foot log aud placing
It In a wagon ready to haul away.
At the hearing before Commissioner Stead-
man they pleaded not guilty. Their story
was that they had found the log In ques
tion floating In the river and the son had
towed It to land. They admitted cutting It
up and claimed that they thought they had
a right to do BO under the circumstances.
They wcro bound over In the sum of $100.
They furnished bonds and were released. The
. penalty for the theft of government prop
erty Is a fine of from $1,000 to $5,000 or
Imprisonment from one to flvo years.
Last winter the government had a lot
of trouble' with thieves , who stolu coal and
wood at the works on the river by the car
load. A constant watch was kept , but It
was Impossible to discover the parties.

The mover who stole S. Herder's horses
and wan captured at Mcl'avil Saturday even-
ng by Deputy Sheriff Wc-lghtman and
Constable Albortl spent the day In the
county Jail yesterday. Ho gave the name
ot Frank Klmball , and practically showed
ilmsclf to be an enterprising tramp , who had
jccome an expert horse thief. Klmball left
Council muffs with four hcail of horses and
the officers succeeded In recovering three
of them and returning with them and the
xvagon and harness. After leaving Pacific
Junction and Mcl'aul the officers found four
places where he had made trades with farm
ers and fisherman. Ills last trade was for
a team of donkeys. These ho sold to a
cripple In McPaul for $5 $ nnd an old shotgun
lust before the officers arrived. When ar-
rexted hu was tin the depot platform , Just
ready to take the train for Nebraska City.
Ho was a powerful man and It was only
by the exercise of quick wit and strategy
that he was arrested without a struggle.
Thu handcuffs were snapped upon his wrists
lieforo hu had an opportunity to realize
that he was caught. Hu then fought vigor
ously and It was necessary to choke him Into
submission. Ilnforo the olHcers could re
cover the stolen horses they were compelled
to trade back with numerous farmers , anil
one horse was lost sight of entirely.
After Klmball was placed under arrest
ho was taken violently ill and the ofllcurs
feel there Is some grounds for the suspicion
that hu attempted to commit suicide by

William O. Wright , a young man who
claims the boundless state of Kansas for
Ills home , was In the city yesterday. Wil
liam heard people talking about the excit
ing events that transpired In railway cir
cles during the previous twelve hours , and
It occurred to him that he would like to be
a railroad man. He had wrestled with many
a cyclone ; In Kansas , and hu believed that a
railway jmiashup or two might he an Inter
esting diversion. After having decided' upon
being a railroad man he was not a bit par
ticular what department he honored with
Ills administrative or executive skill , and
consequently vhon ho encountered a man
In an engineer's blouse carrying a dlnnei
pall and looking for a new engineer he was
willing to enter Into negotiations at once.
Wright was In the vicinity of the Milwau
kee passenger depot at t o'clock yesterday
afternoon when hu met the man seeking to
employ engineers , nnd although he had never
engineered anything more complicated than
a grasshopper corn plow he readily accepted
the offer of the stranger In greasy blouse to
take out a passenger engine on the Milwau
kee last c\enlng. Wlllla.ni had $5. The man
In the blouse told him that the rules of the
company required all new engineers to put
up that amount for the long-necked and
graceful oil can that all engineers use to
oil the machine whenever the train stopped.
Wright , readily parted with all of his availa
ble cash , and obeyed the man's Instructions
to take the dinner pall and go down to the
round house and get his engine.
Wright found a round house and found
several engines , but when he went to "take"
one he got Into trouble v/lth the hostlers.
When ho told his story and showed the din
ner pall as evidence of good faith on his
part of the round-house man smiled and di
rected the man from Kansas to secure cre
dentials vised by the chief of police. At the
station Wright told all of the Incidents con
nected with the affair and gave an excellent
description of the man to whom he had given
the only $5 he possessed on earth. The po
lice looked Into the matter a little and found
that the dinner pall and work suit had been
stolen from one of thu Hock Island men.
All of the lunch contained in the pall had
been eaten except ono piece of pie , and thu
police heartlessly denied Wright even the
satisfaction of eating that.
Some effort was made to find the confi
dence man who had worked Wright , but It
was without result. The police thought thu
man from Kansas had not paid too dearly for
his experience and told him BO with great
frankness.

CHICAGO , July 12. William Jennings
Bryan turned his bock this afternoon upon
statesmen , politicians and oagcr curiosity
and went out to the quietude of Oakwood
cemetery and stood with uncovered head
before the grave of Lyman TTumbull , the
man who had been his teacher and friend.
When Mr. Uryan turned away , his eyes
were brimming with .ears.
"Any distinction I may have gained , I
owe In great part to the man who Is burled
there , " he said , as he returned to the car
riage and wan driven back to the city again.
Today was the first opportunity Mr. Uryan
has had to rest since ho started to Chicago ,
over a week ago. ( o attend the convention
which was destined to name him as Its
candidate for president. He spent It under
the hospitable roof of the Trumbull homc-
stoud , 401C Lake avenue. The nominee re
covered some of his lost strength by sleep
ing until well toward noon. After dinner
he sat out on the vine clad porch and looked
out across the waters of the lake. Porno of
thu neighbors called and chatted with Mr.
Hryan and Senator Jones and the
vice presidential nominee. Mr. Sevvall
drove out and paid a short visit.
George Sternsdorf , who Is an old
friend of Mr. Ilryan , drove over and took
the candidate and his wife driving over the
South sldu boulevards. After they returned
Mr. John Trumbull took Mr. Uryan In his
carriage out to Oakwood cemetery , where
the visit was paid to the grave of Lymnn
Trumbull. In the evening Mr. Uryan and
his wlfo and the members of the Trumbull
family sat In the library chatting. Mr.
Hryan and his wlfo remain at the Trumbull
residence until the departure of their train
at 2 o'clock for Salem. The candidate will
come down town tomorrow to attend the
moot Ing of the notification committee at
the Palmer house at 'J o'clock. He will
then return to the Trumbull house and de
part from the Illinois Central depot at
Thirty-ninth street. Mr. Hryan's original
Intention was to remain In Salem a week
and take the rest ho so much needed , but
ho said tonight : "I find 1 will have only a
day or two to spend at Salem , although I
would like to stay much longer From Sa
lem I will turn direct to Lincoln , Neb. From
there I will go to Omaha and then to New
York to receive the notification committee.
I do not think the 21st will bo the date
fixed for my meeting the committee In New

GLENWOOD SPRINGS , Colo. , July 12.
Jmlgo Henry C. Caldwcll , when asked his
opinion of the work ot the democratic con
vention , replied : "Thu wisdom ot Its action
almost amounts to Inspiration. No better
man ami sounder platform have been pre
sented to the American people by any party
In a third of a century.
" .It marks an epoch in the political his
tory ot this country. For twenty-five years
the people of this country have been be
guiled and deluded by the false and de-
coltfnl promises of both the great political
parties that they would restore to them
the money of the constitution. The Chicago
convention , voicing the sentiments of the
pcnplu , has repudiated the action of thu
democratic president anil Joined issue with
the gold standard republicans. The Chicago
cage convention is thu first national conven
tion held by cither of the great political
parties for a quarter of a century which
has not been dominated by Wall street In
fluence and ideas. "
"The democratic party has had a new
birth. It has freed itself from the taint of
Tammany and the influence ot Wall street.
This has been done in such a clear anil pro
nounced manner that Senator Hill Is forced
to declare that not a single plank In thu
platform enunciates democratic principles
meaning , of course , democratic principles
according to the Tammany and Wall street
standard.
"When those who support a gold stand
ard , a McKlnley tariff , witli all its con
comitants of monopolies and trusts and the
principles of Tammany hall and Wall street ,
denounce a platform of principles , that is
good evidence that It enunciates HOUIII !
principles and deserves the approval and
support ot the honest masses.
"If McKlnley Is the Napoleon of the gold
standard forces , Uryan Is the Wellington of
the allied sliver forces aud the historic
parallel will be complete , except that this
modern Napoleon , after his Waterloo will
go to the headwaters of Salt river Instead
of to St. Helena/ ]

Colonel W. J. Thornby of Hot Springs , S.
D. , Is in Omaha , making his way homo by
easy stages from the Aberdeen convention ,
whither he went a few days ago In company
with a nice boom for the nomination far
railway commissioner and a healthy contest
for the Fall River county delegation. The
contest was decided against him , and the
boom was carefully filed away for future
reference. Hut Thornby is not sore. He IB
too good a republican to kick because he
was beaten In the convention , and Is now
talking as hard for the ticket as If hu beaded
It himself ,
Colonel Thornby says the convention was
ono of the most enthusiastic gatherings
ho over attended , and that the boltof the
Pettlgrew faction oply served to make the
energy of the others the more apparent.
The night before the convention there was
a meeting of the South Dakota Repub
lican league at Aberdeen , held In the Corn
Palace , a magnificent exposition building ,
which had been handsomely decorated for
the convention purposes. Among others
who addressed thu great crowd prcseif ? was
Hon. John N. Haldwln of Council Din ( Is ,
who made n most eloquent and effective
plea for the St. Louis candidates and plat
form. Mr. Ualdwln also spoke to the con
vention the next day , at which tlmo he
wus accorded an ovation. Hon. Edwin Van-
clsn of Deadwood , who was temporary
chairman of the convention , also made a
great speech to the delegates and spec
tators. The tlckat nominated , headed by
Hlugsrud for governor , Colonel Thornby
pronounces a strong one and predicts Its
election by a big majority.

MILWAUKEE , Wls. , July 12. ( Spe
cial. ) The city of Milwaukee Is Hit
center townnl which the llniUlsts of
the Unltcil States and Canada arc
turning all attention. Tlio Ilaptlst Younn
People's Union of America will hold its
yearly meeting In the exposition bulUlltiR of
that city. bculnnliiR Thursday , July 1C , and
holding four days. The railroads of the
enllro country are awake to the slKiilflcaiicf
of the meeting , having granted one farn
round trip rates. It Is expected that not
less than 12,000 delegates and visitors from
abroad will come to the Cream City.
The enthusiasm of the hour with the Itap-
tlsts , as with all other evangelical denomi
nations , Is thu young people's movement ,
although thu plan of having young people's
societies Is not a modern iirtnlr with that
denomination. The llaptlsts are proud ti-
point to multitudes of young people's socie
ties of very ancient standing , some of them
dating as far back as thirty years ago. These
aru found in such churches as thu First
church , Troy , N. Y.j the tabernacle church.
Philadelphia , and other prominent churches
In the east.
The western Unntlsts bo.vst of numerous
Illustrations of the early application of the
principles of the young people's movement.
The HnptlstH allow great liberty. Every
church Is left to Its own discretion how HB
young people shall be organized.
HISTORY OK THE II. Y. P. U. A.
The Haptlst churches of Hrooklyn or
ganized In 1S77 the Young People's llaptist
union of that city a fraternal union of the
young people's organizations In the many
Haptlst churches of Brooklyn. This was
four years before the present Christian Ru-
ilcavor movement was heard of , showing
that the Haptlst brethren have not been
waiting for other people to tell them how
to organize their young people. State con
vention of HaptlBt young people's societies
began to be organized In the ' 80s. but the
great Inspirational point of young people's
work In the denomination was when the
Ilnptlst Young People's Union of America
was organized at Chicago July 7 and 8 , 1SS1.
It was a great outpouring of people" ; 2,000
wore enrolled ns delegates and visitors.
Nine state unions were represented. The
Canadian Haptlsts sent delegates , and also
the Haptlsts of the south. The body wan
an International gathering.
The growth of the organization has been
phenomenal. Its second convention , at De
troit , In 1892. hud over 4,000 as Its enroll
ment. The other conventions Indianapolis ,
Toronto and Haltlmore have been attended
by increasing thousands. The Monumental
City last summer was overrun with llap
tlsts. Some 10,000 visited Haltlmore. John
II. Chapman , one of the most prominent
and popular business men of Chicago , Is
president , a position which he has occu
pied since the body was forganlzed.
AS TO THE MILWAUKEE CONVENTION.
The sessions of the convention will be held
In the Exposition building at Milwaukee
one of the largest convention auditories In
America. The length of Ihe building Is 340
feet ; Its capacity Is 15,000'people. Evidently
Its capacity will bo taxed by the convention.
Special railway trains froni many states will
be run through to Milwaukee without
change. The work of assembling the dele
gations Is In the hands bf forty-four trans
portatlon leaders , each representing a differ
ent state or province. On arrival at the
convention city the delegations will bo wel
comed by a reception comintttoe of 200 mem
bers , who will do the agrWable in approved
fashion. Milwaukee Is a convention city of
large experience. A chorus of 700 voices has
lieen organized for some weeks past , under
Prof. Protheroe , the well known musical con
ductor of that city. The singing of the con
