LINCOLN. Aug. 7. (Special.) A pick
pocket epidemic has broken out In Lincoln.
Tho thluvcH aro operating at tho crowded
camp grounds of tho Nebraska Kpworth as
sembly at Lincoln park. Tho thousands
of people who crowd at tho ono exit gate In
waiting for tho cars after tho last Icature op
tho pronram In tho evening prove to be a
bonanza for tho crooks. Last night hIx
persons wcro robbed at this street car plat
form In less than half an hour, being re
lieved of pocketbooks containing sums vary
ing from 5 to $10.
No criminal work nor unlawful act of
any kind had been reported during tho en
tiro assembly until last night nnd tho as
sembly pollco had begun to hopo that tho
HpworthlanB would bo free from any trouble
of this kind. Hut at 10 o'clock tho thefts
began nnd by 10:30, when tho arrest of ono
of tho culprits stopped further operations
of tho kind for a time, considerable money
had been lost In this manner by citizens,
in tho crush nt tho gates all wcro so intent
on Brcurlng placeB In tho cars that they did
not notlco tbo removal of purs-s nnd pocket
Looks from their clothes.
Information gained today goes to show
that tho robbing was all done by threo pro
fessional pickpockets, who camo hero for
tho purpoao. Ono of tho three was caught
In tho act of taktng n watch Inst night
and tho thefts nt onco ccasod. Robert Km-
motiR was standing on tho approach to tho
street car platform when ho saw u well
dressed young man repeatedly rushing from
the gates to the cars with tho crowd. He
would mount a rnr and ride away, but would
soon return down tho track nnd then repeat
bin performance. Finally ho enmo push
ing toward tho cars with his arm around
u man at his Ride. Tho hand at tho end
of tho arm was busy extracting a watch
from tho other fellow's lnnldo pocket. Mr.
Kmmons saw tho thief gradually slipping tho
tlmoplcce out unci grabbed mm, taxing him
to park pollco headquarters.
Win -Well 1'tmleil.
On tho way tho man dropped something to
tho ground, but thlR wna recovered und
proved to contain Interesting evidence. It
was a- small notebook, In which wns a tab
ulated list of, nil tho street fairs, carnivals,
Jubilees, raco meets, etc., to be held in this
part of tho country during August. Iowa,
Nebraska and Wisconsin wero well ropre
snnted, tbero being porno forty notations In
all.
It Is surmised that tho fellow Is a pro
fessional crook, going about to all largo pub
lie gatherings for tho purposo of plying his
trade, and that tho table of fairs and as
tomhlles In tho book wan his visiting list
for this month. Some which were tot for
tho earlier days In August, already passed,
wero checked off, as was tho Kpwortb as
Kombly, nnd It is supposed that this lndl
rated a visit paid and business completed
at that place.
William Freiburg wnB tho name given by
tho man. Ho was taken to tho county jail
And will ha chnrged with larceny from the
person. Tho pollco aro now looking for tho
two men who wero seon with him. It Is
claimed that two of tho party acted as tho
"lifters," picking tho pockets, and then
passing tho articles secured back to tho
third, who was "banking" for tho gang.
No news of tho thefts nor tho nrrost of
Krolburg was allowed to leak out until to
day, us tho otllcluls hoped to catch tho
other two men.

The open statement nnd resulting publl
ration of tho conflict In authority between
Chairman Hutltr and Vlco Chairman Ed
mlsten of tho populist national committee
co raw, as no surprise, it is said, to Nebraska
populists. Though It wan npparent from
tho start that ono of tho two gentlemen
must eventually give- In, few hero havo
thought that Mr. Kdmlwten, would be the
man. Populists say that tho only reason
flutlcr wnB glvon tbe.place was becauso ho
laid that It would help htm In hl canvass
of his own state for United Statu uenator,
It Is asserted that Ilutler practically agreed
to concede to Mr. Edmlsten exclusive con
trol of tho campaign, reserving only a few
of tho southern and eastern states for bis
own Jurisdiction, and Nebraskans consider
Mr. Hutler's present action a violation of
his ngreoment.
Mr. Kdmlston, however, expresses eur
prlao nt the published statement of the al
leged disagreement and today mado the fol
lowing denial:
"Thcro has been no controversy between
Putler and I. Wo aro working In perfect
harmony. Tho meeting wa called In Chi
:ago for other purposes entirely than tbo
tonslderatlon of distribution of authority
ietween chairman and vlco chairman of tho

the presidency and vlco presidency, reached
Indianapolis at 7:30 p. m. today.
Tho run from Chicago was delayed Rome-
what by the demostratlons of crowds which
gathered along tho route.
i Tho train was In chargo of tho County
Domocracy of Chicago and It wag composed
of twelve coaches, nil of them filled to the
brim with democratic workers.
Messrs. Bryan and Stevenson nnd their
friends nnd chief supporters occupied tho
rear coach of tho train. It was completely
filled by distinguished people, Including not
only the two candidates, but their wives nnd
other members of their families. Chairman
Jones of tho national committee and his

Mr. Bryan and Mayor Harrison rode on
the cnglno nt tho Invitation of tho rail
road authorities between Layfayotto nnd
Lebanon.
Brief stops -were made on tho way, an''
thcro were crowds of peoplo at many polnu
at which stops were not made. The people
showed disappointment ns tho train whizzed
by them, but they cheered nil the same.
The principal Btops wero made at Kankakee.
111., nnd Lafayctto, lnd. At each of these
places the candidates were given a recep
tion which was a real reminder of the
crowds, ns it was also of tho enthusiasm of
the campaign of 1896. At both places large
concourses of poople awaited the coming of
tho train, and at Kanknkoo tho first speak
ing of tho tour was Indulged In. The streets
In tho Immedlato vicinity of tho train nl
this point wero literally covered with a maso
of human bclngsnll struggling to get a look
at tho distinguished men whom thuy knew
to bo aboard tho train. The windows In the
vicinity wero crowded nnd wagons, box
cars, telegraph poles, Indeed, ovcrythlng af
fording advantago to Right or bearing was
utilized. In ono Instance a Bprlnkllng cart
was secured by as many people as could
crowd upon It. The crowds cheered enthus
iastically, but were In all canes orderly and
good natured.
Mayor Harrison Introduced Mr. Brynn,
saying ho believed firmly that tho patriot
Ism and good sense of tho American people
wero too great to place In the offlco of
president nt Washington any man who did
not represent the plain people of tho coun
try, n Jackson and Lincoln had represented
them. Mr. Bryan was such a man and he
took great pleasure In Introducing him.
Sn:e of I.lnenln (irnnii I'lirel lonn.
Mr. Bryan said:
I nm a very cnutlnus man and while 1
hnve seen It stated in the paperH that 1
watt nominated for tho presidency, I knew
you could not ulwnyH trust whut you nee
In tho papers (laughter), and I nm not go
ing to tuku It for granted that I nm nom
inated until I am notllled of It down at In

I nm sure I am nominated.
Mr. Stevenson, the nominee for tho vice

nomination, Is on tho train, und I believe
and have privately Informed him thut he
has been nominated and therefore ho ha

havo, and I take pleasure In presenting tr
you your candidate for vice president, whr
is, I hope nnd believe, to be the next vice
president of tho United State, Hon. Adla.

Mr. Stevenson arose, excused himself and
Introduced Mr. Alshulcr, ubout whose candi
dacy he said thero could be no doubt.
Mr. Alshuler mado a brief address, ex
pressing his bcllof In the success of the na
tional ticket.

At Lafayette Mr. Dryan did not speak, cx
copt to introduco Governor Thomas. The
governor assured his hearers that Mr. Bryan
and Mr. Stevenson would carry every state
In tho Rocky mountain region by majorities
equal to thoso by which he carried them lu
1806.
Nothing on earth remained to do, but for
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Wisconsin to do
their duty, as they had done beforo. If
they did so, tho party would glvo them a
president of tho United States who wore no
man's collar and who belonged to tho com
mon people.
At this point Hon. Webster Davis also
spoke, exhorting tho democrats of Indiana
to earnest effort In behalf of Dryan nud
Stoventon.
At Lafayetto tho train was met by the
reception committee from Indianapolis.
Tho circumstance that the train was nn

dlaapolis did not seem to dampen tho en
thuslnsm of tho crowds that waited. How

LINCOLN. Aug. 7. Vlco Chairman Ed
mlsten of the populist national committee
tonight gnvo to tho Asfoclated PresB the
following statement on tho withdrawal uf
Mr. Townu.
"I havo Just learned that Hon. Charles A.
Townc, candidate for tho vlco presidency on
the people's party ticket, has withdrawn as
such candidate. Wo are confronted with a
proposition which Is certainly mixed nnd de
serving of the most caieful consideration
and action on the pnrt of those who may be
called to deal with this question. It Is true
Mr. Towno was placed In a very peculiar
situation at Kansas City when tho silver re
publican party failed to mako him n candi
date for vlco president nnd nominated for
Its candidate Adlal E. Stevenson, who had
already been named by the democratic party,
and Mr. Towne, known to be a silver repub
lican nnd ntllllattng with that party and be
ing chairman of its national committee, wns
placed, together with the people's party. In
n very awkward position beforo tho public.
"That Mr. Towne has considered this mat
ter with much patriotism I have no doubt.
Ho has proven htmcelf to bo a friend of the
common people, being possibly one of the
strongest exponents nnd most faithful lend
ers that tho country has, and has attracted
the nttentlon of the entire country to him
as their leader. Although he differed with
them In parly name and nlllliatloiiH, yet he
was near tho hearts of the American people.
"I cannot consider this action without ex
pressing my sincere regret. My earnest
hopo has been that Mr. Towne would romnlu
upon tho ticket and that ho would make c
canvass of the country, audi ns wu know he
Is capable of doing In behalf, and In the In
terest of tho cause which ho represents n.
a candidate for the vice presidency.
"At Kansas City, when the national con
vention was in session, by a resolution whlcl
wns passed unanimously, I wns authorized
In case of Mr, Towne's withdrawal, to sum
mon tho committee at an early dato for
the purposo of taking tho same under con
sideration, and for tho further purposo o
nominating or naming somo other of the
people's party to fill such vacancy. This 1
shall do. First, beforo taking any official
nctlon, I prefer to meet the executive com
mltteo at Chicago, which wns called a few
days ago to meet on August 9. 1 deslro to
confer with Senator Butler, as chairman of
the national committee, and with the lead
ers of the party.
"I havo no doubt, however, thnt tho pa
triotism and spirit for an honest government
will guide the action of all mnmberfl of the
people's party In their deliberations and Ir
considering theso matters pending the action
of their committee. I deslro to assure one
and all throughout the length and breadth
of tho country that tho name of tho peoplo'r
party nnd Its interests politically and other
wise shall bo protected nnd fostered and wc
shall strive to Inspire Its membership to
vigorously engago In this campaign at
earnestly ns had our candidate remained or.
tho ticket,"

electricity he could not
feel it below his hips.
Finally my mother, who
lives in Canada, wrote ad

This was when our boy
had been on a stretcher
for an entire year and
helpless for nine months.
In six weeks after taking
the pills we noted signs of
vitality in his legs, nnd in
four months he was able
to go to school. It wits
