The new ccIIb at the state penitentiary are filling a long felt want, for In his re port for the month of September, Warden Beemer does not mention a single Infrac tion of the rules of the Institution. Dur ing the month there were received into the prison sixteen prisoners and fifteen were discharged, leaving 315 on hand at the end of the month. Of these 195 were employed by the Lee Broom and Duster company. Only one convict was paroled during the month, Michael Enrlght, Kent up from Douglas county for ten years for robbery. Charles Boyd of Douglas county, who es caped, has not yet been apprehended., The adoption of the new blue uniform for those convicts who make records for good behavior is having a good effect and at this time two-thirds of the Inmates have been able to lay aside the stripes. As fast as a convict demonstrates that he is going to be good he gets the new uniform and apparently all of them are now work ing to get rid of the old-time stripes, t BRYAN PLEADS FOh LEGISLATURE No Hope of Taking; tha State from Roosevelt.

The speaker dwelt mostly upon state Issues and ad mitted that Nebraska wou:d go strongly for Roosevelt. His principal P'ea was In beholf of the election of a fusion governor and a fusion legislature. NORFOLK, Neb.. Oct. (Special.)- W. J. Bryan was met with an Icy stare when he traveled through northern Nebraska today, making speeches. In fact It was about the chilliest reception the peerless leader ever got In the North Platte terri tory. Not only was It frigid from a weather standpoint the thermometer having dropped a half hundred degrees over night but It was discouraging from the view point that looks at the voters. On every trip that Mr. Bryan had ever made to Norfolk In previous years he was met with such crowds as to make overflow meetings essential. It was always like the crowds 'at a circus, following the parade. But the one-time wlsard of silver fame had lost much apparent attraction for the peo ple of this section. A scattering of his ad mirers met him at the train here tonight, led him to the Auditorium and listened to him speak. Then Patrick B. McKlllup. who has been sacrificed by his party In allowing dim to run against J. J. McCarthy, talked a little more. Mr. Bryan remained over night In Nor folk and will go north at noon tomorrow. Mr. Bryan admitted Roosevelt will carry Nebrsska because of the fuslonists electoral split. "The only trouble we have to find with Parker." he said, "Is that he Is too much like Roosevelt." He spoke feelingly of O. A. Lulkart, his lifelong friend, who was killed here by a horse last winter. Today Mr. Bryan was made to walk be tween Hartlngtnn and Randolph. His auto mobile broke, dumping him out. He walked three miles Into town. MISSION OF THE TMTED STATES Rnptlst Clergyman Talks on Present Par Life. FREMONT, Neb.. Oct. 5. (Speclsl.) An audience which occupied every seat In the Baptist church last evening and overflowed into the aisles, gathered to hear the ad dressee by Drs. D. D. Proper and W. M. Walker of Des Moines The devotional ex ercises were conducted by Rev. J. l. Hed bloom of Stromsburg. Dr. Proper then addressed the meeting on "America's Greatest Need." Dr. W. M. Walker then delivered one o? the strongest addresses of the convention on "The Mission of America." He began by commenting on the three great evil tendencies of our times, a disregard of law, of the family relations and of religious obligations. The labor troubles of the past season, and especially' the spirit manifested by some of the labor unions, were a menace to free Institutions. The spirit which produced the system of graft In municipalities as well as states he denounced In the strongest terms, and the capitalists, whom' he said were responsible for It, were public enemies and criminals. He gave some statistics of the number of lynchlngs in this country and of the triv ial causes and slight evidence which caused mobs to violate every prlAnlple of right and denounced all who apologized for such acts, especially public officials. The speaker gave a series of statistics showing the In. crease In the number of divorces granted In Polk county, Iowa, and stated that with the present Increase of the percentage of marrlnges to divorces the number of the latter was fast approaching that of the former. Disregard of religious obligations was reported by all the churches and showed a condition calling for the most active work of pastors and people. The mission of America, he said, was to over come these threatening evils, establish a high standard of civic righteousness, a due regard for the marriage .relation and the teachings and obligations of- the church. This morning the executive board of the convention, which has general charge of the apportionment of mission funds, met In the parlors of the New York hotel to hear ap plications for aid. There were about the usual number of churches needing help, those which were able to maintain Bervlces being equalled by the calls from new fields. The financial condition of the aided churches Is better than last year owing to a large Increase In membership. After the opening exercises of the con vention the report of the committee on church edifice work was summoned by Rev. S. Z. Batten, chairman. A telegram was ordered sent to the Na tional Peace convention, now In session In Boston, approving their work and congratu lating them on the success of their meeting. A resolution was reported from the com mittee on divorce denouncing divorce except for scriptural cause and the remarriage of divorced people. The work of the state anti saloon league 'was also endorsed. The bal ance of the morning session was given over to the women. Addresses were delivered by Mrs. Rose Webster of Chicago on the Wo men's Home Missionary society, and by Mrs. J. H. Kerr of Ansley on the foreign mission work of the Baptist church In China by Miss Lena Spear1. This afternoon Rev. B. F. Fellman of Omaha read a paper on "Essentials of DIs clpleshlp," after which the report of the committee on foreign missions was pre sented to the chairman. Rev. R. R. Coon of Peru. What Is likely to be one of the most Im portant sessions of the convention will be held tomorrow afternoon, when the status of the new theological seminary which has recently been established at Kansas City will come up. Rev. P. W. Crannell, D. D., the president of the new seminary, who Is generally recognized as one of the most cultured and scholarly clergymen of the Baptist denomination In the west, is here in the Interest of the seminary, while Dr. Green, president of the Baptist seminary at Liberty, Mo., takes the position that the new school Is not essential to the welfare of the denomination. "The action of the convention," said Dr. Crannell, "wilt not mean the closing of the seminary, should Dr. Green convince It that he Is right, for Kansas Is back of It. but we had rather have the support of two states then one.
