American Journalism IK broader more im

of Intelligence than It ever was. In the
political field It has become strikingly im
partial In the presentation of the nt-ws. a *
the columns of the great dallle * during the
past campaign abundantly attest. Editorial
comment will alwcy have parttenn flavor
in important political campaigns , but the
representative newspapers no longer refuse
a hearing to thoie in oppoxltton. The = ur
prlMng majorities by which Mr. Bryan has
been retired to private life are not due to
any unfair journalistic treatment of the so-
called democratic candidate Mr. liryan has
had the freest , fullest opportunity to pre
sent l > ls caiu-e to the whole people. Through
the gold standard newspapers he has ad
dressed millions of voters In the "enemy's"
country. Hie defeat Is attributable to the
Inherent weakness of the doctrines he
taught with such unflagging' zeal , and to
the merciless unrelenting assault which
the gold standard newspapers and orators
made upon Mr Bryan's vicious and danger-
us economic theories.

KAStLY GOT THE CASH.
Alone lu 1R 2 Mr. Stt-wart was approached
by a young man who had formerly been in
the employ of the Fim National bank , and
knew of the money lying there unclaimed
to tht > credit of "John T. Jcnts. Treas. "
He related the clminwtanice and asked if
there was eny way to pet hold of It Sir.
Stewart told him that the only way was to
buy it from Jones. anS It w * arranged that
Mr. Stewart should * ee Jones. The latter
was unaware of the bank balance , and Mr.
Stewart did not enlighten him. Jone had ,
by the w y. become nerlBusly Involved , and
there were various judgments agalnet him
Mr. Stewart told him that he had discovered
where he had some chances tn action , and
proposed to trade him some real estate for
It. After consulting with his wife. Jone *
agreed to trade , and Mr. Stewart deeded
him. in November. 188 : , some property , then
valued at lo.OOn. but which had a $2.000
mortgage on It. Jonea signing papers , amonc
them a rherh on the Ptrat National bank for

signed the eliek and sevtral other necessary
papers , without knowing what they were , in
accordance with the acrwnteut. and took
possession of his proprrtj , while Mr Stewart
took the check to the bank v.here the amount
was paused to his credit.
Some tine ago Jones began suit In dis

the latter had deceived him as to the value

HASTINGS. Nov. 13. ( SjK-clal. ) For
three or four j-ears Hastings has been trying
to secure the Cervices of Major Cole for
union evangeltetlc meetings , but not until
the present time has success attended the
efforts In that direction. Finally , when
seven of the churches , with their ministers
and members , extended a most cordial Invi
tation. giving evidence of perfect unity and
harmony In the effort and assurance of the
most hearty support , the major consented to
come and lead the churches in the union
effort. A short time before his arrival
rlon. J. V. Farw ll of Chicago spent a Sab-
jath In Hastings and addr ed union nerv-
.ro on Sabbath afternoon , and gave Major
Cole the most favorable introduction to the
community , giving an account of hia very
succemful work when he went to England
and Scotland with Moody , in his first evan
gelistic tour abroad He al > o sketched the
very successful work of the major since that
time and gave Hastings people the assur
ance that they had secured the services of
the one who was likely to be most useful
bringing the largest spiritual blescing to the
city. High as the expectations were In regard
to the evangelist they are being more than
realized by these who have clo e t acquaint
ance with the work Major Cole oas
done much evangelistic work In Kan at
and Missouri , but tbl : 1s his first encase
ment in Nebraska. The Methodist. Pn-sby-
; erlan , Congivgatlonalist , Baptist. Chris
tian United Brethren and Evangelical
churches , with their ministers and mem
bers are meet heartily and warmly united
in the present movement. On the fourth
day of the 9:30 : a , m meetings at the Bap-
ttet church chairs were brought In to ac
commodate some , in addition to the regular
seating capacity of the church. The large
audience room of the Methodist church i
being well filled at the evening meetings
A number of fcpeclal servicee for different
classes will Ite held during the meeting ; the
first , vith the students of Heatings col
lege , has already bc en held in the
college chapel. Major Cole called for a
showing of those who were Christians ; about
seventy-five of the 100 students responded.
When an apj > al woe made to the rest , all
but about six made their start In the Chris
tian life. Some nineteen made the same
beginning Sabbath. at the Prtaby-
terlan Sabbath school , under an ap
peal from the major. General Bowen. who
was with the major in the army and whom
he had not met since the war , has identified
himself strongly with the movement. The
work thus far has largely 'been one of
preparation , and the aggressive part is jufct
now beginning.

PLANS OF THE COUPLE.
He had talked with his sister and with
Sellers about the latter leaving hie family
and taking her and going away to Central
America. He had talked the same thing
over with his brother Eugene last spring in
the presence of Olive.
He was In the room at Oakland when
Sellers was shot. When he came Into the
bouse he noticed a revolver lying on the
kitchen table , indentlfylnp the revolver in
troduced In evidence as being the one fram
which the shot was fired BS the one he B W.
Witness did not see Sellers when he ( the
witness ) first came Into the house , but in a
few moments afterward Sellers came out of
the bedroom and. speaking to Olive , passed
into the shed at the back of the door , where
Olive followed him. The witness was In the
front room , heard a scuffle and turned end

since 1SST and Mrs. Sellers sine" 18&S , was
quite intimate with tie Sellers' and v-ont
there and was at home whenever he wished

At this point the ropes taken from the
well and flacBtaff wore shown the witness
and identified by him as the ones referred to.
He had talked with his Bister about leav
ing Oakland and going back to Cherokee , but
there had been no settled arranRement
as to her going. She would not consent to

plied : "No. " He had felt of bis father's
hands soon after arriving nt the house and
found them cold and also noticed that his

Dr Simon was called as an expert w ItnMS.

to him :
"Suppose a man about six feet in height ,
weight , 1K0 pounds , in fairly good flesh and
on a fairly warm day In the month of June
should meet death by gunshot wound , caue-
Ing almost Instant death , and it should de
velop that at a certain later time the hands
are cold and lips purple , what would you
say was the lajise of time between the time
he was dead and the time cuch conditions
would exist ? "
The doctor said that from two to twenty-
four hours' time might have elapsed , de
pending on the temperature of the room in
which the body was lying. On cross-exam
ination the doctor admitted that where large
arteries were severed t.nd there was large
Internal hemorrhage , es In this case , the ex
tremities would cool much quicker.

There was a meeting of the sllverltes last
night at Knights of Labor hall , at which it
was proposed to perfect a titate organiza
tion. Judge George W. Ambrose was elected
chairman by acclamation and upon taking
his seat stated that it was a generally
known fact that the election was over. He
eaid. however , thst the 16 to 1 men in
Omaha did not intend to admit the convinc
ing argument for sound money , given by
overwhelming numbers at the late contest ,
but that they would continue on their course
for many years to come. Nebraska had come
out strong for the "boy orator" and it was
fit and seemly that the event should be fol
lowed up by a strong state organization.
He invited suggestions upon the subject.
Harry Miller secured the floor , but In the
speech that followed lost sight of the subject
in hand and delivered a talk which has
been heard times innumerable during th
late campaign.

along the Fame linee as his predecessor end
gave place to Judge Gregory , who moved
that a committee of nine be appointed to
devise ways end means to organize a state
bimetallic league. The motion was amended
by Increasing the number of the committee
to eleven. It was then decided that the
chtir should select the men. Those chosen
wore : George A. Gibson. C. R. Scott. Judge
Gregory , T. C. Brunncr , R. r. Williams ,
Silas Robbins. John Jeffcoat , Harry Miller ,
Lewis Him. Thomas Swift and Judge Am

this evening for the purpose of perfecting
their organization. It Is intended Tb hold
