CHICAGO , Aug. 21. llev. C. O. Drown ,
formerly of San Tranclsco , and whose
troubles are familiar to all newspaper read
ers , has made a statement In icply to the
last confession of Miss Overman , In which
she sajs that the charges which , she origi
nally maclo against Dr. Hi own , and which
she subsequently bald weie false , are In
reality founded on facts.
Dr. Uiown denounces the entire story as
one ot blackmail and says that the fact that
Miss Overman now admits that she testified
falsely should prove her unworthy ot the
slightest credence. He says"The public
should remember that Miss Overman wrote
offering to have Mis. Tunnel make an alll-
davlt In my favor If I would pay a large sum
for It ; but that my enemies were ready to pay
well for a story against me , and that they
should tell such a story unless I would pay
their price. That Is Just what they have
done. Ot couise those who have been will-
to pay ? 500 or 11,000 for such a story were
shrewd enough to see that its value would
be Increased by being recited to the confer
ence. I do not accuse- members of the con
ference of making such a baigaln. Whoever
paid the money , however , told Miss Over
man that she must get her story before that
body. It would not surprise me if this
strange young woman should yet turn with
tears and a&k us to forgive her for the awful
wrong she has Inflicted upon us.
"As to the Hay confcience , I have tested
the unfairness of Its ruling powers. I have
no reason to expect that they who trampled
upon both their own constitution and my
rights would now bo cither fair or Just. I
shall pay no attention to any communication
from that conference , but wait for a fairer
tribunal , assured that the public will bo
quick to perceive the vindictive and ma
licious spirit that pursues me with this un-
piecedented action. "

WASHINOTON , D. C. , Aug. 21. ( Special. )
Thcro Is a possibility that the Omaha
Street Railway company may be given ad
ditional compensation for carrjlng the malls
between Omaha and South Omaha. It will
bo recalled that the company notified the
department that they did not want to re
new the contract for this service when It
expired on July 31 , unless more money was
paid for the service. The company was
prevailed upon , however , to continue , the
service until further Investigation was made
by agents ot the department and determina
tion of the amount ot Increased compensa
tion to bo allowed , If any , reached. This
Investigation was made this week by As
sistant Superintendent of Hallway Mall
Service Mastcn , who visited Omaha on a
flying trip to the west this week. Mr
Mastcn returned to Washington today and
had this to say ot the situation to the cor
respondent :
"I found that the Omaha Street Railway
company has been doing cverj thing In Its
power to aid the department In securing
quick postal service between their city and
South Omaha. As the line from South
Omaha docs not run directly to the depot
or postoince , It Is necessary to make a
transfer to a line running dlicctly to these
two places. I found that In order that
there might be no chance of miscarriage of
any mall entrusted to tholr care , the car
cairylng mall was and 4s held at the Junc
tion to wait for the car going in the direc
tion that the mall Is to be carried. This
caused a loss of time of from one to two
minutes in the schedule on mall trips , which
Is an tmpoitaiit factor In running any kind
ot n railway. I also found that the com
pany was carrying a much greater amount
of mall than vvc had any Idea of. Taken
altogether the company Is to be commended
for the good service It has rendered to the
department. As to whether any additional
compensation will be allowed , 1 cannot say ;
that rests , w Ith Second Assistant Postmas
ter General Ncllson. I will report the facts
and conditions as I found them and ho will ,
I am sure , do what he can to continue the
service , and will , If it is possible with the
limited appropriation , authorize the ad
ditional compensation. "
It Is unfortunate that there Is not a
greater mileage on this road. The dis
tance Is much less than between Omaha
and Council Blurts , > et ten times as much
mall Is carried between Omaha and South
Omaha as between Omaha and Council
Uluffs. This Is another dllllculty that Gen
eral Ncllson will have to face In determin
ing whether increased compensation can be
allowed. "
Hlds were opened today for the construc
tion of the public building at Racine , Wls. ,
and on the face of the bids O J. King of
Omaha Is the lowest bidder. Two proposi
tions were submitted to bidders , one con
templating hollow brick Instead of wood
furring and the other using wood furring
as at present. On this latter proposition
King bid $43,500 , his next lowest competi
tor being A. II. Harcus of Racine , who bid
$44,347. The possibility of King getting
the contract Is not overly bright on ac
count of complaints which have been made
to the supervising architect as to the for
mer's slowness.
John O'Rourke was today commissioned
postmaster at Kyle , S. D. , and Millard D.
Ledford at Hoggs , Wyo.
Lulu E. Gibson of Nebraska has been
appointed a mlcroscoplst In the bureau of

CHICAGO , Aug 21. The use of the Ger

nn Investigation recently conducted by Com
missioner Howard Douglass , past supreme
chancellor , a report will be submitted to
the biennial meeting of the supreme lodge
nt Cleveland next week , showing that the
decision of the supreme lodge forbidding
the use of the German ritual has been svs-
tematlcally Ignored nnd violated. The three
men aganst whom the charges are brought
arc German Post Chancellors Charles T ,
Loehr of Richmond , Vn. ; Henry Vellenvoss
of Louisville , and Fred liuchman of Chi
cago. Inquiry among the local Pvthlans
leads to the conclusion that the German ele
ment Is prepared to go to nny extremes
rather than submit to the decrees of the supreme
premo lodge that their proceedings shall bo
conducted In English The action ot the
supreme lodge on this question will bo
watched with Interest.

DES MOINES , Aug. 21. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The State Railroad commission to
day handed down Its decision In the matter
of the application for a reduction of rates
on hay. This has been the most bitterly
contested case that has been before the
commission for a long time. The board
about two months ago changed the classifi
cation , so that hay was given a hlghe-r rate
At the same time it reduced the minimum
carload weight from 24 000 to 20,000 pounds
per car. The hay shippers declared the
change had ruined the hay shipping business
of the state , and that immense amounts of
hay would rot all over north and north
western Iowa If the rates were not re
stored to the old basis. They procured peti
tions nnd remonstrances upon the board anil
a date was fixed for a rehearing. At this re
hearing there was a large delegation of
shippers and railroad men present. The
shippers all wanted the old rates restored
The talliouds nearly all opposed the restota-
tlon.
tlon.The
The commission today handed down Us
decision. It holds that the present classi
fication will ptovo satisfactory If shippers
will give It a fair tilil and refuse to change
It. They , however consent to a fuithcr
reduction of the minimum weight , making
It 18,000 for thlrty-four-foot cars and grad
uating it down to 14,000 for smaller cart
The shippers generally testified at the Itca'r-
Ing that they wcro satisfied1 with the minimums -
mums and wanted the classification changed
There will ho a vlgotous protest fiom hay
shippers when the decision becomes public.

CANTON , O. , Aug. 21. Sheriff Hiram
Doll sent the following letter to Captain
Dick Walker of Kansas In reply to a letter
published by a press association , having
been sent from Canton and giving reports
about the political situation In Mclvlulcy's
homo county :
"CANTON , O. , Aug. 21. Captain Dick
Walker , Topcka , Kan. : Dear Sir The sil
ver club In Canton , about which jou wiltc ,
Is compose * ! of populists and democrats and
the leading democrats of the city are not
In It. The ex-republican mentioned as
president , Colonel Hollow ay , was ouo of
the most enthusiastic McKlnlcy men In the
city and during the greatest Jollification
meetings hero after the St. Louis conven
tion rode at the head of each procession
escorting the various delegations to Gov
ernor McKlnlej's house. He was an as
pirant for chief marshal of the Escoit club ,
but failed of election. Immediately after
that ho turned over to the opposition.
"The silver club at Its organisation only
clalmeil to have a membership of 200 to
2f > 0 upon the statements ot its officials to
the reporters of the press associations When
It Is remembered that Stark county has a
population of nearly 100000 and this city
nearly 40,000 , the magnitude ot the club
docs not appear very gieat. Comparatively
speaking , a sound money nonpartlsan rail
road club In this city , composed largely
ot democrats as well as republicans , signed
300 members the night of organisation. The
same night the McKlnley Matching club
was organized with 1,000 members. A poll
of the precinct that Major McKlnley has
lived In since his return from Columbus ,
which has alwajs been u democratic pre
cinct , out ot 310 voters polled showed Mc
Klnley 1UO , Brjan lf.0 , a republican gain
over the combined Ilrjan vote , Including
populists and democrats , of seventy-four
In a single precinct. The > precinct In
which Major McKlnley lived before he went
to Columbus Is two to one for McKlnley.
The opinion prevails here , and the circum
stances Justify , that the organization of
the llryan silver club here the week he-
bore Mr. Brjan was advertised to pass
through this city McKlnloy's home was a
part and parcel of a premeditated pro
gram on the part of the national Bryan
managers to make It appear that there
was a large defection at McKlnley's home
It being an effort to counteract the polls
ot Lincoln , Neb. Mr. Urvan's home , which
have shown that Mr. Bryan will lose his
precinct , ward , city and conntv by over
whelming pluralities. The icpublican part }
of Canton and Static county are enthusi
astically for sound money , as well as pro
tection. The Bryan sliver club organized
with less of a membership than Mr. Coxey's
army btaited with on Its march from Mas-
slllon to Washington , Canton being Its first
stopping place , Carl Browne , Cosey's lieu
tenant and con-In-lavv , being the most con
spicuous populibt leader now. Yours truly.

BOISE , Idaho , Aug. 21. At fl o'clock this
evening the democratic and populist state
conventions had not completed their work ,
the populists having made very little prog
ress during the day. The conference com
mittee ic-ported the division as given In last
night's dispatches , also that the fused party
ho called the people's democratic party. The
airangoment lespccting the United States
senator did not please the populists , and
they have spent the entire day trjlng to
get it straightened out , the last demand
being that the demociats shall agree to sup
port a man selected by the popullstlc legis
lative caucus. 'Ihe popullbts did nothing
more than to adopt their platform. It Is
devoted entirely to state nutlets. One
plank says
"We heartily Indoise the action of the na
tional people's pattv In convention at St.
Louis "
Another plank of general Interest Is :
"Believing in equal rights to all and spe
cial privileges to none , wo favor the adop
tion of the pending woman suffrage amend
ment to the constitution. "
The democratic convention has gone ahead
faster. It has adopted a platform and nom
inated It. P Qnarlcs of Salmon for supreme
Itulge , and Frank Stuencnbcrg of Caldwell
for governor. The platform sajs In part :
"Representatives of the party In Idaho In
convention renew their fidelity to the prin
ciples of the democratic party as foi initiated
by Jefferson and reaffirmed In the platform
adopted by the representatives of our party
In the Chicago convention of 1S9C. We
latlfy and conllrm the nominations made at
Chicago and pledge ourselves to use cvety
honotable effort to secure the election ot
William J Btjan and Arthur Sowall as pres
ident and vice president of the United States.
Wo recommend to the favorable considera
tion of the voters of the state the proposed
constitutional amendment granting equal
suffrage , believing that this great question
should receive the earnest attention of every
person as an Important factor of the future
welfare of the state. "
At the evening session the democrats no
tified the populists that they would accede
to the last demand. The populists at once
receded nnd fusion was closed up.
The democratic convention nominated
Frank Steuenberg for governor ; R. P.
Quarles , justice of the supreme court ; R.
E. McFarland , attorney general ; O. H.
Stortor , treasurer. The populists nominated
the following : For congress , Captain Gmni ;
C. C. Fuller , lieutenant governor ; J. H. An-
deison , auditor ; J. L. Lewis , secretary of
state , and Lewis Anderson for attorney gen
eral.

UPPER RED HOOK , N. Y. , Aug. 21.
Candidate Brjati has laid out a quiet dav
for the next twenty-four hours. After he
has worked all the morning on his letter of
acceptance and his mall , he will spend the
afternoon at a neat by fishing resoit. llo
icad the newspapet account of the alleged
cordial support of the ticket by the New
York democracy and smiled contentedly
Ho said he did not bcllcvo the situation
had been c.\aggerated , and that ho had
alwajs believed the state democrats would
be true to the party nominees.
From Sytacuse , Buffalo , Rochester and
Albany , Mr. Bryan has received assurances
of the sitppott of the county democraets
and notification that the arrangements In
those localities are entirely In charge of
the demociatle county committees.
Lctten continue to pour In asking Mr
lit yan to speak at eastern points. Nearly
every city of any size between New York
and Chicago has asked him to make a stop
and without exception the Invitations have-
come from Icadeis of democratic organl/a-
tlons. Mr. Bryan showed no smprlho this
morning nt the newspaper slot les that the
New York democratic state organization had
decided to support him. Ho did rcllcct a
little bit upon the statement that senator
Hill had told Danfotth that he would sup
port and work for him ( Mr Bryan ) . He said
In relation to that question : "It Is not
Senator Hill's custom to speak through
others and I doubt If Mr Danforth gabo out
a statement purporting to be made by Sen
ator Hill. Tito senator will probably make
his own announcement. " It wi-s said here
today , on very good authority , that Senator
Hill would take part In the demonstration
In honor of Mr Bryan at Albany on Tuesday
night. The statement lacks authentication ,
however.
.Mr. Bryan today received a letter
from Leader Shcehan of Tammany asking
Mr , Bryan to speak In New York. Congress
man SnlztT arrived here tonight , and was
closeted with Mr. Bryan. Ho brought with
him Prof. VonBiircn Densloo , fonnctly a

Prom the prompt manner in which the dele
gates appealed to take their seats at ) ester-
day mot nine's service one would have
scarcely thought that the day before had been
one of incessant worship nnd that Thursday
evening's services had Kept the JOUIIB Chris
tians up until a late hour. Prom the bright ,
cheety faces that wore to be seen nnd the
cordial morning greetings that were to bo
hoard on all sides one could leant that the
delegates were not at all wearied from the
previous day's meeting , for If they wcro
they neither Knew It nor showed It ; but
tathcr was It apparent that the day's meet
ings had had a Joyous , happy and bcnctlchtl
effect and that sunrise services of prayer
and song jesterday morning had been a
source of leal Inspiration.
The services of the day began with a well
attended meeting at Jefferson square. It
was begun promptlj nt C o'clock , led by Rev.
J. Knov Montgomery of Cincinnati. Over
400 delegates were there , and many a work-
Ingnmn on his way to his day s labor , at
tracted by the unusual giitheilng at the
more unusual hour , stopped and removed
his hat and attentively listened to the fer
vent prajers , the earnest talks and tha
Jojous songs of prnUe.
The seivices at CrolKhton theater were
scheduled for 9 oO. It was not that hour ,
nor even a few minutes befoie that hour ,
when all sticcts leading to the convention
hall were ctowded with those anxious to bo
In time to bccuie good seats. By the tlmo
the appointed hour had ariived the theater
was well Illlccl , better filled than at the
moining service of the pieccdlng day.
EARLY MORNING SERVICES.
The lower pott Ion of the house , the boxes ,
the fctate , the balcony weto all occupied ,
and thcio was a genetous number of dele
gates tn the gallery. The services wcro
opened with u devotional cxciclso conducted
by Rov. RIley Little of Albany , Oio. The
singing was as hearty as it has been at all
thu sessions and was led by Robert II.
Wilson of SalUuuig , Pa. , the composer of
a number of denominational psalms. "Early
Will I Seek Thee , " "Hallelujah , Pralso
Jehovah , " "The Palace of the King , " woio
sung by the gtand chorus of 2,500
voices , and then Rev. Rlley Little opened the
rentalks of the moining by naylng that the
true value ot a half hour's devotional
fcervlcc could bo measuml only by conscious
ness of the Dlvlno presence. He said that
quictucsb of the soul and a turning of one's
thoughts to the Lord were essential to the
success of such a fccrvlcc. He urged his
hearcts to K'avo off friendly greetings , to
cease looking aiound the hall for their
frlciulb , and that then an Innct peace would
como and a blcsscd seivico would result.
All heads were then bowed in silent prajer ,
alter which the leader of the exetclscs read
fiom II Corinthians , VI. Two btanras of the
beautiful hymn , "For Jehovah I Am Wait
ing , " were then bimg. The singing was fol
lowed by the leading ot Matthew VII , and
then seveial minutes weie given over to
sentence piayeis. They came from all pat Is
ot the houbc , fiom the boxes and from the
gallery , from the platfoim and from the
corridors "The Rock that Is Higher than
I , " was then hung.
Secretary Dulf made a shot't appeal for aid
In the college bcttlement work. Resolutions
and memo ] lals of congratulation and ot
assutance of heaity co-operation wcro then
read from a number of socle-tics In various
parts of the country. They wcto all lofcrrcd
to the committee on resolutions with rec
ommendations that they be answetcd with
the heartiest greetings of tlio convention.
Rev. A , Q. Wallace was then Introduced
to the convention. He said that to tha
floral tilbutes alicady presented to the con
vention ho desired to add one that would ho
significant of the close bonds of fellow
ship that existed between the northern and
southcin divisions of the church. Just bo-
fete the late civil vvni slavery succeeded In
dividing the church into two divisions , the
southern division being known after tha
separation as the Associate Reformed
Church of the South. On behalf of the
Young People's Christian unions of thl
blanch nf the chinch ho presented to tha
convention a biunch of n cotton plant that
had been brought to Omaha dlieclly front a
southcin cotton field by W. M , Grler , D.

As the pictty branch was presented to
Pri-ilclcnt Quay ovciy delegate In the build
ing seemed tn appicclato tlio significance
of the act and tlieio was tiemcnilous ap
plause. It was renewed vvlion Dr. Grlcr
was called for. Ho trspondod from an up
per box on the left of the Htago. Ho
bald that ho had nut expected to speak ,
but had rather thought that the gift of tlio
cotton brainh would bo dune ipiietly. Thera
was much laughter and applauho when ho
said that this wis the Hist largo ijathurlnic
which ho had attended In which It was
not nccchsary fnr him to c.\plaln why he was
a pgalm singer. Ho declared that the Im
portant illscoveiles nf the rcntuiy wcro
jouth and woman 'Jho tonn man , ho said ,
wan not bolnir used so much nnwadavs In
the genetic sense. Ho juovokcd moio laugh
ter by relating an anecdote of one who said
that ho read in the bi)0 | ) how man could
be saved , but could find nothing about sal
vation of women. In doping ho spoke of
the hearty good will of the south for tha
north and again cmphasl/ed the sttength
of the HPH that held the young Christians
of these ! two errtlons of the land together
for ono common causo.
