CHICAGO. Aug. 21. Rev. C. O Drown ,
formerly of San Tranclsco , and whose
troubles are familiar to all newspaper read
ers , has made a statement In reply to the
last confession of Miss Overman , In which
she sa > s that the charges which she origi
nally made against Dr. Dioun. and which
she subsequently bald weie false , are In
reality founded on facts.
Dr. Diown denounces the entire story as
one of blackmail and sa > s that the fact that
Miss Overman now admits that she testified
falsely should prove her unworthy of the
slightest credence. Ho says"The public
should remember that Miss Overman wrote
offering to have Mis. Tunnel make an afll-
davlt In my favor If I would pay a large sum
for It ; but that my enemies wcie ready to pay
well for a story against me , and that they
should tell such a stoiy unless I would pay
their price. That Is Just what they have
done. Of couise those who have been will-
to pay $500 or $1,000 for such a story were
shrewd enough to see that Its value would
he 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 hei story before that
body. It would not surprise mo If this
strange young woman should yet turn with
teirs and ask us to forgive her for the awful
wrong she has Inflicted upon us.
"As to the Day confcience , I ha'ie 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 either fair or Just. I
shall pay no attention to any communication
from that conference , but wait for a falrci
tribunal , assured that the public will bo
quick to perceive the \lmllct\e ! and ma
licious spirit that pursues me with this uu-
piecedented action. "

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Aug. 21. ( Special. )
There Is a possibility that the Omaha
Street Railway company may be given ad
ditional compensation for carrying 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 U
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 of the department and determina
tion of the amount of Increased compensa
tion to bo allowed. It any , reached. This
Investigation was made this week by As
sistant Superintendent of Railway 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 of the situation to the cot-
respondcnt.
"I found that the Omaha Street Railway
company has been doing everything In Its
power to aid the department In securing
quick postal service between their city and
South Omaha. As the line from South
Omaha does not run directly to the depot
or postolllce , It Is necessary to make a
transfer to a line running directly to these
two places. I found that In order that
there might be no chance of miscarriage of
any mall entrusted to their care , the car
earning mall was and -Is held at the junc
tion to watt 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 Impoitant factor In running any kind
of a railway. I also found that the com
pany was carrjlng a much greater amount
of mall than we had any Idea of. Taken
altogether the company Is to bo commended
for the good service It has rendered to the
department. As to whether any additional
compensation will be allowed , I cannot say ;
that rests , with Second Assistant Postmas
ter General Nellson. I will report the facts
and conditions as I found them and he will ,
I am sure , do what he can to continue the
beivice , 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 Dluffs , jet ten times as much
mall Is carried between Omaha and South
Omaha as between Omaha and Council
Bluffs. This Is another dlfllculty that Gen
eral Nellson will have to face In detcrmln
Ing whether Increased compensation can bo
allowed. "
Dlds were opened today for the construc
tion of the public building at Racine , WIs. ,
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 ne tt 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 Mlllard D
Ledford at Doggs , Wyo

CHICAGO , Aug 21 The use ot the Ger
man ritual In Knights of Pjthlas lodges Is
aguln exciting discussion As a result of
an Investigation recently conducted by Com
missioner Howard Douglass , past supreme
chancellor , n report will be submitted to
the biennial meeting ot the supreme lodge
at Cleveland next week , showing that the
decision of the supreme lodge forbidding
the use of the German ritual has been HJS-
tematlcally Ignored and violated. The three
men agatist whom the charges arc brought
are German Post Chancellors Charles T ,
Loehr of Richmond , Va ; Henry Vellcnvoss
of Louisville , and Fred IJuchman of Chicago
cage Inquiry among the local Pthlans
leads to the conclusion that the German ele
ment Is prcpaicd to go lo any extremes
rather than submit to the decrees of the supreme
premo lodge that their proceedings bhnll be
conducted In English The action of the
supreme lodge on this question will he
watched with Interest '

DES MOINES , Aug. 21. ( Special Tele-
gram. ) The State Railroad commission today -
day handed down Its decision in the matte
of the application for a reduction of rates
on hay. This has been the most blttorl )
contcbted case that has been before the
commisblon for a long time. The bean
about two months ago changed the clabslfl
cation , so that hay was given a higher rate
At the same time it reduced the mlnlmun
cailond weight from 24000 to 20000 pounds
per ! car. The hay shippers declared the
change had ruined the hay shipping buslncbs
of , the state , and that Immense amounts o
hay would rot all over north and north
western Iowa If the rates were not re
stored ! to the old basis They piorurcd poll
tlons and remonstrances upon the board nm
a date was fixed for a rehearing At this re
hearing there was a large delegation of
hhlppors and rallroid men present. The
shippers all wanted the old rates restored
The lalltouds nearl ) all oppobed the restoia-
tlon.
tlon.Tho
The commission today handed down Its
decision. It holds that tne present classi
fication ' will piovo satisfactory If shippers
will give it a fall ttlal and refuse to clian-
It They , however consent to n fnithei
reduction of the minimum weight , making
It 18,000 for thlrt-four-foot cars nnd grad
uating It down to H.OOO for smaller carb
The shippers generally testified at the head
ing that they wcro satisfied with tlio minimums -
mums and wanted the classification changed
There will ho a vigoions protest fiom ha )

CANTON , O. , Aug. 21 Sheriff Hiram
Doll sent the following letter to Captain
Dick Walker of Kansas lu reply to a letter
published by a press association , having
been sent from Canton and giving reports
about the political situation In McKlulo's
homo county :
"CANTON , O. , Aug. 21. Captain Dick
Walker , Topeka , Kan. : Dear Sir The sll
vcr club In Canton , about which ) ou write ,
Is composed of populists and democrats and
the leading democrats of the city are not
In It. The o\-republican mentioned as
president , Colonel Hollow ay , was one of
the most enthuslistlo McKlnle ) men In the
city and during the greatest Jollification
meetings here after the St. Louis conven
tion rode at the head of each procession
escorting the various delegations to Gov
ernor McKInlc's hoube. He was an as
pirant for chief marshal of the Escott club ,
but failed of election. Immediately after
that he turned over to the opposition.
"Tho sliver club at Us organisation enl )
claimedto have a membership of 200 to
250 upon the statements of Its ofllclals to
the reporters of the press associations When
It Is remembered that Stark county has a
population of ncarl ) 100 000 and this clt )
nearly -10 000 , the magnitude of the club
docs not appear very great. Comparatively
speaking , a sound money nonpirtlsan rail
road club In this city , composed largel )
of democrats as well as republicans , signed
300 members the night of organization. The
same night the McKlnley Maiehlng club
was otganbed with 1,000 members. A poll
of the precinct that Major McKlnley has
lived | In since his retuin from Columbus ,
which has alwas been a democratic pre
cinct , out of 310 voters polled showed Mc-
Kluley 180. Hnan ir.O , a republican gain
over the combined Ir > au vote. Including
populists and democrats , of se\cnt-four
In a single precinct. The precinct In
which Major McKlnley lived before he went
to Columbus Is two to cue for McKlnley
The opinion prevails hcie and the circum
stances justlf ) . that the organization of
the Hran silver club here the week he-
bore Mr Hran wab advertised to pass
through this city McKlnley's home was a
part and parcel of a premeditated pro
gram on the part of the national Bran
managers to make It appear that there
was a largo defection at McKlnlc's home
It being an effort to counteract the polls
of Lincoln , Neb Mr Uoan's homo , which
hpve shown that -Mr. Hran will lose his
precinct , ward , city and countv by over
whelming pluralities The republican part )
of Canton and Staik county are enthusi
astically for sound money , as well as pro
tection. The Dran silver club organized
with less of a membership than Mr. Co\e's
army stalled with on its march from Mas-
slllon to Washington , Canton being Its first
stopping place , Catl Browne. Co\ey's lieu

night s dispatches , also that the fused party
bo called the people's democratic party. The
arrangement tespcctlng the United States

being that the democnits shall agree to sup
port a man Delected by the popullstlc legis
lative caucus Ihc popullbts did nothing
more than to adopt their platform. It Is
devoted entirely to state nutteis. One
plank
"Wo heartily Indorse the action of the na

Another plank of general Interest Is1
"Ucllcvlng in equal rights to all and spe
cial privileges lo none , we favor the adop

The democratic convention has gone ahead
faster It 1ms adopted a platform and nom
inated R P Quarles of Salmon foi supreme

"Representatives of the party In Idaho In

Wo recommend to the favorable considera

scarcely thought that tin * day before had been
one of incessant worship and that Thursday
evenings services had Kept the ) oung Chris-
thins up until a late bout. From the bright ,
cheery faces that wore to be seen and the
cordial morning greetings that were to ha
heard on nil sides one could learn that the
delegates wcro not at all wearied from the
previous da's meellng , for If they wcro
they neither knew It nor bhowcd It ; but
lather was It apparent that the da's meet
ings had had a jo > ous , happy and beneficial
effect and that sunrise services ot prajcr
and song ) estcrday morning had been a
source of leal Inspiration.
The services of the da ) began with a well
attended meeting at Jefferbon square. It
was begun piomptl ) at G o'clock , led by Hev.
J , Knox Montgomery of Cincinnati. Over
400 delegates were theie , nnd many a woik-
ingman on his way to his da ) s labor , at
tracted by the muihual giitlietlng at the
more unusual hour , stopped and removed
his hat and attentively listened to the fer
vent pracrs , the cat nest talks and tha
joyous songs of praise.
The scivices at Crelghton theater were
scheduled for 9 oO. It was not that hour ,
nor even a few minutes befoto that hour ,
when all sticcts leading to the convention

The lower poitlon of the house , the boxes ,
the btagc , the balcony weio all occupied ,
and thcie was a geneious number of dele
gates In the gallery. The services wcro
opened with u devotional cxciclso conducted ,
oisi Hev. Hlley Llttlo of Albany , Oio. The
singing was m hearty as It has been at all
the sessions and was led b ) Hobert II.
Wilson of SaUbmg , Pa. , the composer ot
. number ot denominational psalms. "Karly
a.V
Will I Seek Thee , " "Hallelujah , Praise
Jehovah. " "The Palace of the King , " were
sung by the gtand chorus of 2,500
voices , and then Hev. Hlley Llttlo opened the
remaiks of tlio moining by saying that the
true value of a half hour's devotional
bervlce could bo measuied only by coiibclous-
ness of the Divine presence' . He bald that
quietness of the soul and a turning of olio's
thoughts to the Lord were essential to the
success of such a beivice. He urged his
licarets to leave off friendly greetings , to
ceise looking around the hall for their
frlendb , and that then an Innci peace would
como and a blcbsed seivlco would result.
All heads were then bowed In silent praer ,
after which the leadei of the exercises read
fiom II Corinthians , VI Two btani'as of the
beautiful hymn , 'Tor Jehovah I Am Walt-
Ing , " weie then sung. The singing was fol
lowed by the leading of Matthew VII , nnd
then scvcinl minutes weie given over to
sentence piaycis. They came from all pails
the house , fiom the boxes and from the
Rallciy , from the platfoim and from the
