hoiuo started home On entering hu came
faco to face with the tramp coming out of
the bedroom with a revolver in his hand.
The tramp aked him if he was tho boss
and was Informed that It was none of his
buslnesa. The tramp leveled his revolver
an.l told Nelson if he did not answer his
question and do he told him he would
make short work of him.
The door of the bedroom oppiied toward
Mr. Nelson and wan between the two. Mr.
Nclp.on stepped to one aide and placing his
foot behind the door partly closed It. lie
then reached for a two by four plank about
two feet long which happened to bo In the
window and as he was bringing It around
the tramp attempted to shoot, but Nelson
was too quick, and with one hand he shoved
down the tramp's hand holding the revolver j
and with ihe other hand ho swung ths plank.
striking tho tramp across tho cheek bone i
and flooring him. In the melee two shots j
were fired, one going through the door and
lodging In the Moor and the other lodging in i
the door. I
Nelson then grabbed the revolver ami
threw It across the room and then turning to
his assailant found him- ready for another
battle. A few blows were exchanged, when
they clinched. Nelson being quick and
atrong grabbed the tramp by the throat,
choking him and .punishing him severely, i
The trnmp then started away, but evidently ;
not satlnnVd. as he told Nelson he would "tlx
him yet.'" Th.nklr.g that he ought to satisfy
him Nelson administered another thrashing
and let him go.
When Mr. Graham arrived home he met
his hired man covered with blood. On the
tlnor of the house was a pool of blood and
the walls in two rooms were alio spattered
over.
Mr. Graham came to town yesterday and
with tho conHtnble and a few others started
a search and tracked the tramp for some
distance, but lie waa not found.
Alfred Nelson Is a young Swede who has
only had a year's experience in this country.
He hud the tramp entirely at his mercy, but
thought that all he could do was to whip
him and let him go.

Personal Impressions.
FINDS REPUBLICANS STANDING FIRM
Itnnk I'nltrnkrn "While the PopocTiito

Await Them.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 1. (Special Tele
gram.) Auditor W. E. Andrews of tho
Treasury department ha returned from a
two weeks' speaking tour of Nebraska,
greatly encouraged with the political situ
ation in that state. Mr. Andrews says he
found greater enthusiasm among the repub
licans than he haa seen in years. A careful
and conservative canvass of the state shows
that republicans who voted for McKInley In
1S96 are with him in 1900 and that there Is
no wavering in lines. Democrats, however,
are leaving Bryan for McKInley this year
and if the ratio of gains keeps up be be
lieves Nebraska will cast Its electoral vote
for the republican nominees.
"My observation haa been," said Mr. An
drews, "that tho democrats are making
herculean efforts to capture the legislature
and will sacrifice the national and state
tickets to bring this about. I believe wo
will be ablo to hold the legislature and elect
two United States senators. What Is most
surprising are the reported desertions from
the fusion party In the western half of the
state. This may be due to the greater ac
tivity displayed by republicans in that sec
tion, but thero Is no denying the fact that
the rock-ribbed fusion counties are ready
to leave Bryan and It would not surprise me
to see tho Issue In Nebraska turn on the
vote In that section. Governor Roosevelt's
tour through tho state renlly Inaugurates the
campaign and it will get hotter every day
until election. Tho congressional outlook
could not bo better and If things keep on
coming our way Nebraska will bo found
once more In the republican column."
ehrnkn Cm in pn I mi Club.
Mr. Andrews will resume his speech
making In Nebraska next week. A meeting
of Nebraska republicans temporarily esid
lng In Washington will bo held In a local
hall tomorrow evening for the purpose of or
ganizing a Nebraska Campaign club. Sena
tor Thurston, Assistant Secretary of War
Melklejohn. Auditor Andrews and Colonel
Michael will be present and mako short ad

pose of securing rates from railroads that

The statement Is made at the Interior de
partment that Indian Agent Stephens of
Crow Creek, S. D., will soon be removed.
The agent's resignation was called for on

from him, refusing to tile his resignation. It
In expected that on the return of Secretary
Hitchcock tomorrow or Wednesday Stephens
will be dismissed. While the officials are
reticent concerning the action of the depart

charges made against him last winter. It
cannot be learned who will succeed Mr.

CONFERENCE ON ARMOR PLATE
"eretnry I.oiiir nf the nvy Depart

facturer Today.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 1 It Is expected
that representatives of the various armor
producing concerns will be here tomorrow
to confer with Secretary Long concerning
tho armor required for the war ships now
In course of construction. This armor
amounta to about 26,000 tons for eight bat
tleships, six armored cruisers and three pro
tected cruisers and constitutes the largest
Item of tho kind ever required by the gov
ernment. When tho first bids were opened
it was found that the Carnegie and Dethle-
hem companies had divided the amount of
armor, each bidding the same price, 445
for class armor and 145 added for royalty.
Tho Mldvale Steel company bid was $438 per
ton, without charge for royalty, but with
tho condition that considerable time be
given beforo deliveries begin. All the bids
were rejected and new bids were called for,
to be opened tomorrow noon. In tho mean
time the Mldvale company protested that as
tho lowest bidder It should receive tho con
tract. Efforts are now under way to adjust
tho matter so that the chief aim, that of
securing the armor at the earliest possible
time and at a reasonable price, may be rea
lized. To this end the plan of opening new
bids tomorrow has been given up and in
stead thero will be a conference to davlse
means for an adjustment of the matter.

ST. PAUL, Oct. 1. Mr. Bryan today tra
versed what are known as the pine barrens
and the scrub oak portion of Minnesota,
reaching the agricultural part of the state
north of this city during the afternoon. He
was accompanied through tho day by Gov
ernor Lind. Victor Lawson, state chairman
of the populist committee, Hon. E. S.
Kelscr of the national silver republican
committee. Mayor Gray of Minneapolis,
Moyor Hugo of Duluth, National Commit
teeman O'Brien and the democratic state
canj1J t Th . , decorated with
tho national colors and the special car bore
the Inscription, "The Republic, no Empire,"
and "Equal Rights to All." The attend
ance at tho West Superior. Duluth. Still
water, St. Paul and Minneapolis meetings
was large, but owing to the sparslty of the
population the other crowds were compara
tively small.
This Is the sixteenth anniversary of Mr.
Bryan's marriage and, by a strange coinci
dence, the twenty-first anniversary of Gov
ernor Llnd's marriage.
The first speech of the day was delivered
from the veranda of the hotel in West
gp,,rior jr. Bryan oegnn his speech
thero a few minutes before S o'clock and
he spoke for half an hour to a large audi
ence. His speech dealt especially with the
truat question and he maie especial refer
ence to a combination of the Hour Interest.
Mr. Dryan also referred to a speech made
by President McKInley In 1804, In which the
president attacked the democratic party
Mr. Dryan quoted the following from rlut
speech- "They were the enemies of the
trust when they wanted the votes of the
people In 1S92, and when they got tho power
to d"al a blow at trusts, according to the
testimony of their own members, they be
came tho willing tools of the most glgantn
trust of the country."
Ilium nn tu the Trnat.
Remarking on this quotation. Mr Drvan
said: "Mr. McKInley complains tho dem
ocrats did not fight the trusts whan thev
had a chance, and we must believe he was
honest in his complaint. You cannot ac
cuse him of being a hypocrite, and yet Mr
McKInley has been president for three and
a half vpnra and dtirlnir thnt time morn
I ! trusts have been orcanlzed than In all tho
previous history of tho country, and he
has allowed three sessions of congress to
convene and adjourn and did not recom
mend a specltlc measuru for the destruc
tion of the trust. And Mr. Hanna, who
stands at the head of the republican na
tional committee during this campaign and
who stood at the head of the republican
national committee In 1S96, declared the
other day that there were no trusts.
"Now, if you believe that Mr. McKInley
was honest when he condemned tho dem
ocrats for not destroying the trusts. hov'
can you explain hl3 policy In doing the
same thing? He selected an attorney gen
eral from New Jersey, where most of tho
trusts have their homes, and that attorney
general draws his salary for not Interfering
with the trusts. The attorney general of
the state of Nebraska, a democrat, elected
on the fusion ticket, has brought more
suits in the state of Nebraska against the
trusts than the republican attorney gen
eral of the United States has brought
against the trusts of the United States."
At Duluth Mr. Dryan spoke In tho
armory. In beginning his speech Mr. Bryan !
said he could hope to add nothing to the,
arguments which had been made here by
Charles A. Towne, who resides here. "If
he cannut warn you sufficiently against the
dangers that threaten you. you would not
believe though one rose from the dead."
Mr. Dryan first adverted to what he char
acterized as the republican fondness for
the financial question as a paramount Issue.
It was natural for that party, ho said, to
put the dollar above tho man. "That party
Is bending all Its enurgles." ho said,
toward tho aggrandizement of wealth and
the degradation of mankind." But par
tial as the republican party was toward
the money question, the party was being)
ariven irom 11 nnu somo were uiKing
refuge in the tariff question. He believed
that they would also be driven from that
position' before the close ot the present
campaign.
W'orrle Alioot the 5lllu.
Mr. Dryan referred to tho president's let
ter of acceptance, saying that the president
had said It was a dangerous thing to at
tempt to protect tho Philippines from out
side interference. Mr. Drynn did not ac
cept this view and ho said the administra
tion had not seemed to take this view of
the Sulu archipelago.
At Rusy City .Mr. Dryan said that during
tho present administration tho republican
party had done many things far worse
than tho wildest prophecy could have pre
dicted in 1S96. One of theso deeds was the
increase of tho army and another tho toler
ation of the trusts.
The North Branch peoplo were given a
ten-minute talk, largely devoted to trusts.
Mr. Bryan spoke from n- stand erected on
tho loveo at Stillwater. Ho referred to
the campaign ot 1S96, saying that the mem
bers of tho democratic party had been
abused to an unlimited extent In that cam
paign, but that notwithstanding this abuse.
when two years afterward there was a
call to arms it was found that thos wh
two years before bad been denounced as
anarchists were bravo men and good sol
diers. If. he said, ho had been president
and done what Mr. McKInley had dona
not one republican In n hundred would
commend what he had done.
Mr. Dryan discussed tho Philippine ques
tion at Stillwater, as at other places, de
claring tho republicans had no policy on
that question, whllo tho democratic policy
was well defined,
p'ei.i nt St. Pnnl.
The Auditorium, In which Mr. Bryan
spoke hero, was crowded to the very dome.
It is a largo building, said to hold S.000
peoplo. Deforo proceeding with his speech
Mr. Dryan was presented with a "Life of
Abraham Lincoln" by F. L. McGhee. a
negro, on behalt ot the Colored Men's
league.
Mr. Bryan discussed tho protective tariff,
the law establishing a gold standard, the
proposed Income tax, militarism and Im
perialism as affecting the negro and then
after referring to tho perplexities of the
race question uttered a warning not
to mako tho problem more difficult by
bringing In the Filipino.
Mr. Bryan's reply to tho presentation was
heartily applauded. Continuing his spen h.
ha talked of trusts at length and dis
cussed militarism and Imperialism at
greater length than In his brief reply to
the colored men.

audiencos, the first an overflow meeting ou- -side

of the day.

Bryan said he was rdeased to havo these

not willing to abandon the ldcnla of a cen
tury and a quarter to embark upon tho un
certain sens of imperialism.
Mr. Bryan then proceeded to a '".'scission
of the trusts, expansion and the array qucs-
tlons.

In the year most women have to suf
fer for a week. At the best this suf
fering interferes with household ac
tivities anil social enjoyments. At
the worst it shuts the woman in a
darkened room or confines her to
bed. Most women can be complete
ly cured of irregularity by the use
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
It reflates the periods, stops en
feebling drains nntl cures female
weakness.
1 All praise is due to you for your wonder
ful I'avorlte rrrtcriptfon,"' writes Mr. John
W Ccffman, Elliiburg, Casey Co., Ky. "My
wife suffered with female irregularity; was
confined to bed every tliree weeki. After
using two bottles of Dr Pierce's Favorite
Prescription waa cured, and haa not uf.
fered any derangement since. Your Fa
vorite Prescription is a boon for delicate
