UNCOLN, gept. 8. t8peclal.-The fusion

and general Jollification at Lincoln park
at which George W. Berge, candidate for
' governor, will be the principal apeaker.

Bryaa Keepa pat of Hew Terk.
Information was received here this morn
ing that Mr. Bryan- would not speak In
New York during the present campaign.
- notwithstanding the announcement of the
retirement of Hill from politics. Thle In
. formation waa given out by a prominent
populist, who announced that hla party
waa very much gratified at Its receipt. A
prominent democrat denied the report waa
true, but aald Mr. Bryan was atlll unde
cided whether he would speak In New
York. , '
Much pressure has. been brought to bear
n Bryan to get him to go to New York
rid by his speeches to hla old followers
offset the effect of the Watson speech, and
his decision not to do su. while It will
disorganize the plans of the reorganlxers,
will bring Joy and gladnes to the pops
and the .Bryan, democrats of Nebraska.
This To pull t aald:
"Notwithstanding -Bryan's denial of Ms
' part In shoving Hill out of politics, Mr.
Hill made his announcement at the ear
nest request of the democratic national
committee leaders, as a condition to secure
Mr. Bryan to make speeches In few York.
The reason Brjjan has finally given up the
Idea of going to New York Is because he
hag received, not less than B.WO letters from
hla old followers' there requesting him to
remain away. Many copies of theso letters
have been sent to Lincoln and are in the
hands of prominent "populists. It la a
fact also- that Tom Taggart offered to
end 60,600 to Nebraska la an effort to
aave th legislature for Bryan If he wot .d
only coma to New York. If it Is true
that Bryan haa decided definitely not to go
to Ne'York. and I .have Information to
that effect, Jie deserves great credli for
withstanding the preaeurj brought to bear
on him. Never was a man more beset
thnn e 'uas been."'
Populists here relieve that Parker ha
been knocked clear out of the running In
New Yark, because of the activity of the
populists there and from samples of the
literature received ' here they are doing
iM .ijce From letters received af the heal
quarters here t is learned that thousands
of copies of the Watson speech have been
distributed, together with thousands of lit

Dakota City.
DAKOTA CITY, Neb., Sept. .-The giv
ing up of Its dead by the Missouri river
may result In the unraveling of a murder
mystery which it war hoped by the per
petrator would never be revealed. vrr H
Wasem, cashier of the Bank of Harris-
burg, Harrisburg. S. D., and J. C. Wasem,
real estate dealer of Woonsocket. S. D.,
brothers, returned to their respective home
from this place yesterday after fully Iden
tlfylng the body of the floater which waa
found In the Missouri river. Just below this
place three weeks ago and Interred In the
cemetery here aa the brother of Ed Wasem
of Yankton, 8. D. The body was exhumed
yesterday and Coroner B. F. Sawyers held
an Inquest on the same and Dr. B. J. Leahy
conducted a poat mortem examination
The body waa Identified by an old scar
nearly across the hand made a number of
year ago by a crosscut saw, one short
finger, general characteristics and other
mark. The poat mortem examination
showed that the deceased had been hit on
the head Just above the ear with, some
bluat Instrument which fractured the skull
and the doctor was of the opinion that he
had been alugged. From the Wasem broth
ers tt I learned the following concerning
the disappearance of their brother for
whom they have been keeping up a diligent
search ever since.
Ed Wasem was employed on a brick yard
near Yankton and on the evening of the
last day of registration for Rosebud lands
In that city Wasem, with the foreman of
the yards, went Into Yankton to ree the
crowds and sight. About ten o'clock In the
evening the two went Into a saloon run by
the brewery and In which Magner & Walsh
were conducting gambling games and had
bees in there but a few momenta among
the crowd when one of the gamblers
attached to the place went up behind
Wasem and dealt him a blow which felled
him to the floor. HI partner forsook Mm
at this time and the two bartenders of the
place dragged the body to the back room
of the building and left It, resuming their
work.' The bartenders state that at that
time he appeared aa dead, but whether he
was or not they do not know. However.
they later returned to the bac' room and
ho waa gone. From" that time until he was
found In the river at this place, naked,
no trace of him could be found. Wasem'a
companion notified Ed Wasem at Woon
socket of the happening and Mr. Wasem
at on oe left for Yankton to Investigate the
matter and began to search for the body
No motive for the killing was odvanced
by either of the Wasem'. They were of
tin opinion that the gambler might have
mistook him for some other person he
was laying for, or he might have thought
hi victim had a roll, as he was well
dressed and had the appearance of a pros
perous man. The Wasem's statod that
detectives would at once be put to work
on the case and nothing would be left un-
dons to ferret out the guilty parties.
A plot of ground was purchased In the
cemetery at this place and the body was
relrterred with a more fitting burial than
that given it at the time of finding.

who produce the most , of this wea'.th
should enjoy the least ef it, while the men
whose toll produces the least of It should
by subtle contrivance of law and of busi

that so much of the weight of taxation

that each of these children should find
food, raiment and shelter In return for
labor,' then our present system needs re
form." i
