ND CORPORATION AID Democratic National Committee Bars Such Contributions. HOLDS MEETING AT LINCOLN Selection of a Campaign Manager to Be Made at a Meeting of a Sub- Committee of Nine to Be Held at Chicago on July 25. Lincoln, Neb., July 15.—The Demo- cratic national committee, in execu- tive session, adopted a resolution out- lined as follows: No contributions shall be received from corporations; no contributions over $10,000 shall be accepted; all contributions over $100 will be made public after Oct. 15; thereafter imme- diate publication will be given; con- tributions under $100 will not be pub- lished; no mopey will be received after Nov. 1. The resolution was. adopted follow- ing a statement on the subject read to the committee by Mr. Bryan on be- half of himself and John W. Kern, the vice presidential nominee. After quot- ing the publicity plank of the Demo- oratic platform Mr. Bryan concluded his statement as follows: “As an earnest token that our party will make good its pledges we ask you to construe this plank and put it into immediate operation. This can be done by the adoption of a resolu- tion announcing in pursuance of the policy outlined in that pledge your committee will not accept any contri- bution whatever from any corpora- tion; that it will not accept any con- tribution from any individual above a reasonable amount and that it will make publicacion before election of all contributions above a reasonable min- imum. We suggest for your approval a maximum of $10,000 and a minimum of $100, no contribution to be received % MENTIONED FOR CHAIRMAN ’{. OF DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE oo ool 4o & 4 UREY WOODSON. AMERICANS DOING WELL. Win Several Prizes in International Olympic Contests. London, July 15—The first morn- ing of real work of the fourth interna- tional Olympic games was carried out under rather unsettled weather con- ditions and before a small audience. The results, however, were highly satisfactory to the American spec- tators and contestants. John J. Flan- agan, Irish-American Athletic club, broke the Olympic record in the ham- mer throw and won the first gold medal for any event. M. J. McGrath, New York Athletic club, was second in the hammer throw and won the silver medal. The first bronze medal to be awarded went to S. C. Walsh, a Canadian, who was third in the ham- mer throw. Another American suc- cess was scored in the twenty-kilo- above $10,000 and all contributions above $100 to be made public before the election. “We suggest also that on or before Oct. 15 publication shall be made of ell contributions above $100 received up to that date; that after Oct. 15 publication shall be made of such con- tributions on the day that the same are received and that no contribu- tions above $100 shall be accepted Wwithin three days of the election.” Bryan to Make Few Speeches. ‘William E. Gonzales, editor of the State of Columbia, S. C., and one of Mr. Bryan’s lieutenants, after a visit ‘with Mr. Bryan and Mr. Kern, said: “The statement that Mr. Bryan will not make a canvass is incorrect. It i8 his present purpose, however, to deliver no platform speeches, but to make ten or a dozen political speech- es dealing with the more vital issues as presented in the platform. Mr. Kern will make a more continuous campaign and it was stated in Denver that Mr. Towne will be no less active than if he had been the vice presiden- tial nominee.” Mr. Gonzales said that campaign contributions would be invited by newspapers in his state and he be- leved every Democratic paper in the South would do likewise. It was decided that Mr. Bryan will be officially notified of his nomination for president at Lincoln, his home, on Aug. 12. John W. Kern will be noti- fied of his nomination at Indianapolis at a date to be determined upon later. It also was decided that the ques- tion of a chairman for the Democratic national committee shall be left to a sub-committee of nine. It is said to be the desire of Mr. Bryan that this sub-committee shall make the selec- tion inside of two weeks. The sub-committee of the national committee adjourned to meet in Chi- cago July 25, when the chairman of the national committee will be select- ed. Josephus Daniels was made sec- retary of the sub-committee. READY TO TAKE STUMP. Alton B. Parker Will Offer His Serv- ices to Democrats. Helena, Mont., July 15—In an in- terview with the Associated Press Al- ton B. Parker said he intended to effer his services to the Democratic national committee as a campaign Bpeaker and would devote all the time he could to making speeches. He said he would speak outside of New York, but at this time could not state what place he would speak in. Mr. Parker said he believed the Democrats had a good chance to carry New York this year and that he would give his hearty support to Bryan and Kern. From Helena Mr. Parker will go to Livingston and meet Delancy Nicol of New York and the two men will spend about three weeks touring the Yellow- stone National park. ‘While here Mr. Parker has been the guest of Thomas J. Walsh. Two Priests Drowned. Winnipeg, Man., July 15.—The Ro- man Catholic mission at Chippewayn, Lake Athabasce, northwest of here, ‘was totally destroyed by fire, with all supplies. While in flight to another place two priests, Father Poitras, in charge of the mission, and an assist- ant, were drowned at Smiths landing on Athabasca river. Tennessee Negro Lynched. Middleton, Tenn., July 15.—Hugh Jones, a mnegro, was strung up to a sapling limb near here by a mob of 100 men. Jones had attempted to as- sault Miss Ora Yoppys, aged seven- Seen. Dramatic Note.

G. ‘Weintz, New York Athletic associa- tion, qualified by winning the third heat. The final of the 1,500-meters flat race was won by Sheppard of the Irish-American Athletic club. Wilson, England, was second and Hallows, England, third. Sheppard’s time was 4 minutes, 3% seconds. He equalled the best time made in the prelim- inaries. From the spectators’ point of view the meeting was slow, but neverthe- less the races were well contested and the showing good. The American vic- tories brought forth much American and Canadian cheering. SHRINERS OPEN CONCLAVE Spectacular Electrical Parade on St. Paul Streets. St. Paul, July 15—With over thirty thousand Shriners and visitors in the city the conclave of the imperial coun- cfl was formally opened with an open meeting held at the Auditorium at which addresses of welcome to the visiting pilgrims were made. Follow- ing this session the council held an executive session. Thousands of Shriners, led by thir- ty-six brilliantly costumed Arab pa- trols, participated in the march from the Ryan hotel to the Auditorium. The imperial potentate was escorted by the nobles of his own temple in Chicago and close by were the two camels brought by Moila temple, St. Joseph. En route to the Auditorium the parade stopped at Smith avenue and Sixth street to witness the exer- cises attending the breaking of ground for the new Masonic temple. In the evening the most spectacular feature of the week occurred, 15,000 Shriners participating in an electrical parade through the brilliantly lighted streets of the business section. UNWISE AND PREMATURE. Reference to Range Strike in Pres dent Moyer’s Report. Denver, July 15.—In his annual re- port to the convention of the Western Federation of Miners President Moyer refers to dissensions in the ranks of the organization and expresses the hope that the defeated minority may bow to the will of the majority in all matters for the common weal. Eight strikes were held during the year just closed, according to the re- port, the miners gaining better con- ditions in several instances. The strike on the Mesaba range in Minne- sota, which was called July 30, 1907, and which resulted in complete defeat for the miners and the virtual de- struction of every local union in the state, is characterized as an unwise and premature affair that was doomed to failure almost as soon as com- menced. The sending of United States troops by President Roosevelt into the Goldfield district during the strike last fall is condemned in strong language. Driven Mad by Accident. New York, July 15.—Frederick Glow, the chauffeur who was in charge of William I. Hutchings’ auto- mobile when it was hit by a Long Island train on Friday, the owner, his wife and child being killed, has be- come a raving maniac as a result of the accident.

BOTH THOUGHT TO BE INSANE Elder One Had Murdered an Inoffen- sive Meat Peddler and Younger One Came to His Assistance When Ar- rest Was Attempted. Benton Harbor, Mich., July 15— Both . August Gross, who without known cause shot and fatally wounded an inoffensive meat peddler named James Kirk, and his younger brother, Fred Gross, lost their lives in a pitched battle with Sheriff- Tennani and a posse of seven men who went to the Gross home to arrest August Gross. Nome of the officers was in- jured. The Gross brothers are both supposed to have been insane. After shooting Kirk Gross barri- caded himself in his farmhouse twelve miles from here, in Pipestone town- ship, and through the night exchanged occasional shots with the crowd of farmers and deputies who were guard- ing the premises to prevent his es- cape. His younger brother Fred Joined the crazed man in the defense of the house and the aged mother of the two men was also in the house throughout the night and the battle with the officers. The officers found her almost prostrated with terror when they broke into the house after the battle. The posse drove to the Gross farm in two automobiles from Benton Har- bor. Shortly before their arrival the Gross brothers had rushed from the house and taken positions with their guns near the front fence. After about fifteen shots had been fired at the officers, who were replying with rifles and shotguns, August left his cover and ran for the house. Fred was wounded - through the leg and ‘when he found that he was unable to follow fired a bullet through his own head, dying instantly. Bxpecting Au- gust to open fire momentarily the posse closed in on the house, entered it and found the crazed man dead on his own bed. A single shot from a charge from a shotgun had penetrated his head. SHOT BY MOTHER-IN-LAW. New York Dentist Wounded by the Widow of Man He Killed. Northport, N. Y. July 15—Dr. James Weddell Simpson, a dentist of New York, was shot and perhaps fa- tally wounded by his mother-in-law, Mrs. Bradley T. Horner The tragedy took place only a few feet from the spot where a little more -than two years ago Dr. Simpson shot and killed his father-in-law. Dr. Simpson’s wife, from whom he has been estranged for many months, was near when the shot was fired, but she did not witness the shooting. Upon learning that it was her hus- band who had been wounded she re- fused to go near him and Dr. Simp- son had to crawl to a house 200 feet away to have his wound dressed. Later Mrs. Horner was arrested and held in $5,000 bail, while Dr. Simpson, with the assistance of two friends, made his way to Roosevelt hospital in New York. The bullet lodged in his liver and an immediate operation was performed to extract the bullet. The doctors said that Dr. Simpson had only a small chance of recovery. Mrs. Horner does not deny that she did the shooting, but she claims justi- fication. Through her lawyer, Row- land Miles, she said that Dr. Simpson had several times called at the house and that his visits were unwelcome. ‘When he came, she says, she ordered him away and when he refused to go she took up a revolver and shot at him. WAS PAID $1,000 FOR ACT Greek Confesses to Dynamiting Home of Frisco Man. San Franciseo, July 15.—John Clau- dianes, a Greek twenty-thre years of age, who was arrested by detectives employed by the district attorney, has made a confession to District Attorney Langdon that he is the man who dyna- mited the residence of James L. Gal- lagher in Oakland and afterwards ‘wrecked with dynamite two houses owned by Gallagher in Oakland which were unoccupied. Gallagher is a for- mer supervisor of San Francisco who had testified against Abraham Ruef in the graft cases. Claudianes refuses absolutely to divulge the names of the persons who, he claims, paid him $1,000 for committing the crime. Monster Barbecue at Dallas. Dallas, Tex., July 15.—A monster barbecue, at which many thousand people were fed, was one of the fea- tures of the Elks’ conventjon here. The barbecue was given at the fair grounds and the local committee pro- vided every comfort for the visitors. A business session of the grand lodge was held and reports of officers were submitted. Unable to Stop Flow of Blood. Pittsburg, July 16.—After bleeding from the mouth continually since June 22, when he was struck by a baseball, Frank Phillips, nine years old, died at a hospital here. Every remedy known to medical science was used to stop the hemorrhage, but without ef- fect. It is the third fatality in two months caused by baseball accidents. An Irish Tal One day an Irishman, having put his hat upon a gate post by which he lay down to sleep, sprang up at midnight and, mistaking the object for an en- emy, dealt it a desperate cut with his scythe. Perceiving his mistake, the man gave thanks to heaven that he had taken it off before lying down. “For,” sald he, “had my head been in that hat, ’tis ter to one I had laid it open with my scythe, and ’tis a dead man I would have been seein’ mesiif at this- minute!”—London Captain. GOVERNMENT 6L/ums. Fraun] —_—— Suit Begun to Reo over Land From Northern Pacific Railway. Helena, Mont., July 15.—In the United States cov rt here suit was in- stituted by the government against the Northern ‘pacific Rallway com- pany, the Rocky Fork Coal company and the Nortb.western Improvement company to recover title to very val- uable coal lands in Carbon county, which, it i3 alleged, were procured through mysrepresentation. The landis are declared to be worth more tham $100,000 and embrace the richest coal mines in the state. It is from these mines that the railway company seeures coal for the opera- tion of trains for more than 800 miles of its line in Montana, as well as supplying_a portion for domestic con- sumption. The complaint sets forth that the lands are chiefly valuable for their large deposits of coal and that they were selected by the railroad under the provisions of its land grant in 1899 in lieu of areas embraced in the Mount Rainier natjonal park and Pa- cific forest ‘reserve in Washington. Accompanying the instrument of se- lection was the affidavit of the land commissioner of the railroad, W. H. Phipps, in which he stated that they “have been found upon examination to be non-mineral in character.” The selections were approved in 1903, The government charges that “the verifications of the selections were each false, as the railroad company well knew at and before the time they were made that they were not non mineral in character.” The lands were transferred by the railroad to the other named defend- ants, but it is alleged it owns all the stock therein. HELD IN NOMINAL BAIL. Philadelphia Newspaper Men Accused of Criminal Libel. Philadelphia, July 15.—The four ed- itors and three cartoonists of the Philadelphia North American, headed by E. A. Van Valkenburg, the editor and president of the North American company, who were last week served with warrants charging them with criminally libeling Mayor Reyburn of this city, were held in nominal bail for the next term of court by Mag- istrate Mecleary. No testimony was taken, the defendants admitting the publications to which the mayor: took .exception. Theé charges preferred by the mayor attracted great interest in the city and a large crowd was at the mag- istrate’s office, but no one except the principals in the case, attorneys and newspaper men were admitted to the little courtroom, The mayor was present and stood in the crowd during the brief proceed- ings. He was represented by A. S. L, Shields, George S. Graham and John C. Bell. FOLLOWED BY A DUEL. Bitter Scene Occurs in Portuguese House of Peers. Lisbon, July 15.—There was a vio- lent scene in the house of peers dur- ing the consjderation of the advances of money to the members of the royal house, which resulted in the sending and acceptance of a challenge to fight a duel. Alfonso Costa, the Republican leader, charged it was impossible to probe these scandals to the bottom so long as certain ministers, who had been compromised in the past, were sitting as judges. He named Count Penha-Garcia as such a minister, whereupon the challenge followed. The duel was fought later. During the fourth bout the count was wound- ed in the arm, but his-injury is not serious. There has been no recon- ciliation between the two men. STRIKER SHOT AND KILLED Shop Foreman at Marshalltown, la. Uses Gun. Marshalltown, Ia, July 15—When four striking Iowa Central shopmen attacked W. D. Toler, new day fore- man of the Iowa Central roundhouse, Toler pulled a gun and put two bul- lets through the left breast of George W. Davies, a striking machinist help- er. Davies died instantly and Officer Haas arrested Toler while the gun still was smoking. The sheriff’s offi- cers hustled Toler out of town in an automobile immediately to prevent mob violence. Much excitement pre- vails among the strikers and special police are being put on. FOURTEEN OUTLAWS KILLED Detachment of Constabulary Storms Filipino Town. Manila, July 15.—Lieutenants Burr and Whitney, commanding a detach- ment of the constabulary, attacked and stormed Cota, on the island of Mindanao, which was occupied by the outlaw Uyan. Fourteen of the out- laws were killed and two guns cap- tured. Lieutenant Burr was slightly wounded and one private was serious- ly wounded. Murder Mystery Unsolved. Troy, N. Y., July 15.—More and more baffling as investigation pro- ceeds becomes the mystery surround- ing the tragic death of nineteen-year- old Hazel Drew, whose body was found in-Teals pond on Sunday with the skull crushed and a corset string tightly knotted about the neck. That she was murdered there has been not the slightest doubt from the first. But there no known motive or even known combination of circumstances which point remotely to a reason for the crime. —_—_— Moving Pictures. Moving picture cameras are remark- able pleces of mechanism. The filmg are only three-quarters of an inch wide. These are in rolls, sometimes 800 feet long. When taking pictures the camera man reels off these rolls just 88 rapidly as they are unreeled when thrown upon the canvas for the spec- tator, at a rate of ten or twelve films a second. Moving pictures are simply & number of views thrown upon a White sheet one after-another so rapid- uiE ~ London In 1784. In 1784 M. La' Combe published a book entitled “A Picture of London,” In which, inter alia, he says, “The highroads thirty or forty miles round London are filled with armed highway- men and footpads.” This was then pretty true, though the expression “filled” is somewhat of an exaggera- tion. The medical student of fifty or more years ago seems to have been an- ticipated in 1784, for M. La Combe tells us that “the brass knockers of doors, ‘which cost' from 12 shillings to 15 shil- lings, are stolen -at night if the maid forgets to unscrew them,” a precaution ‘which seems to have gone out of fash- fon. M. La Combe in another part of his book exclaims: “How are you changed, Londoners! Your women are become bold, imperious and expensive. Bank- rupts and beggars, coiners, spies and Informers, robbers and pickpockets abound. The baker mixes alum in his bread. The brewer puts opium and copper filling in his beer. The milk- ‘woman spoils her milk with snails.” The Blood Red Banner. Royal and national colors vary with nations and times, but since Cain slew Abel blood red has been the sign of re- volt. In the earliest revolt known to history, when the Persians rose against their king 4,000 years ago, they were led by a blood red banner, and during the riots which took place in Paris the men in the blood red caps were fol- lowed by the mob. A blood red flag waved over Bunker Hill when the Americans fought for liberty, and it was the emblem of the German peas- ants in their great uprisings in 1424, 1492 and 1525. Blood red was the col- or of the trades union flags during the middle ages, and it framed the back- ground of the emblem of the Swiss confederacy in 1315. Through the whole of French and every other na- tional history those striking in their own ways for liberty have worn the blood red cap and halled the blood red banner as their leader. It is a curious fact that never has a monarch chosen 1t as his color.—London Answers. Naive Lying. A police official of New York, discuss- Ing the case of a policeman found gullty of protecting gambling houses, said: “The man lied too naively in defense of his innocence. He was like a car- penter employed by a newspaper friend of mine. My newspaper friend writes a good deal at home, and, his study being next to the nursery, the chil- dren’s noise disturbed him, and he em- ployed a carpenter to make the wall sound proof between the two rooms. ‘T'll fix it all right,’ said the carpenter confidently. ‘The best thing to do will be to line it with shavings’ He com- pleted his job, then he called the liter- ary man in. ‘She’s sound proof all right now,’ he said. “We'll test her, said the literary man. ‘You stay here’ And, going into the nursery, he called to the carpenter in the study, ‘Can you hear me? ‘No, sir; I can’t,’ was the prompt reply.”—New York Tribune. Was Entitled to Trouble. Lord Palmerston and 8ir J. Paget, who told the story, were walking down Bond strcet. A man came up and saluted the statesman. “How do you do, Lord Palmerston?’ “Ah, how do? Glad to see you. How’s the old complaint?” The stranger’s face clouded over, and he shook his head. “No better.” “Dear me! So sorry! Glad to have met you. Goodby.” “Who's your friend?” asked Sir James when the stranger had gone. “No idea.” “Why, you asked him about his old complaint.” “Pool, pooh!” replied the other un- concernedly. “The old fellow’s well over sixty; bound to have something the matter with him.”—London Globe. The Archbishop Won. Dr. Whately, some time archbishop of Dublin, once had an encounter with # young aid-de-camp, and the primate emerged victor. At dinner the soldier asked this singular question, “Does your grace know the difference be- tween an archbishop and an ass?’ “Bir, I do not,” answered Dr. Whately. “One wears the cross on his miter and the other wears it on his back!” ex- plained the tactless officer. “Do you know the gifference between an aid- de-camp and an ass?” asked the arch- bishop calmly in return. “No, your grace, I do not,” was the reply. “Nei- ther do I!” said his grace.—Liverpool Mercury. Greeley's Writing. During the early part of the nine- teenth century the bad writing of great men became almost a byword. In fact, poor writing was considered by some people as almost a sign of genius. Horace Greeley was such a poor writ- er that his correspondents were some- times ebliged to guess at his meaning. It is related that a reporter on the New - Yorkk Tribune who received a letter from Greeley discharging him present- ed it as a letter of recommendation to the editor of another paper. Diverging.

Professor Leopold = Schroetter was called to see the Crown Prince Fred- erick in 1887 before Sir Morrell Mac- kenzie had reached San Remo. The prince, evidently suspecting the worst, turned to Schroetter after the examina- tlon and said, “I request the truth as to my ailment.” Schroetter hesitated and made an effort to direct the con- versation in another direction, but Frederick insisted. “I am a soldier,” he said, “and can look death in the eye. 1 ask you now plainly, to the point, Is my complaint cancer?”’ Schroetter could hardly contain himself, and years after the scene when he re- called it he spoke of it as the most painful in his life. He conducted the crown prince to a chair and asked him to be seated. Then he said, “Your im- perial highness, you are suffering from a serious complaint, and it is possible that it may develop into carcinoma, but that cannot be determined posi- tively at this moment.” Frederick be- came deathly pale, but never for a moment lost his self control and smiled grimly when he thanked the physician ’| for his honesty. Coming to an Understanding. In the amiable way of villagers they were discussing the matrimonial af- fairs of a couple who, though recently wed, had begun to find the yoke of Hymen a burden. “’Tis all along o’ these hasty mar- rlages,” opined one caustic old gentle- man, who had been much to the fore in the discussion. “They did not un- derstand each other. They’d nobbut knowed each other for a matter o’ sev- en year.” “Well, that seems long enough,” said an interested lady listener. “Long eno’! Bah! Yere wrong! ‘When a body’s coortin’ he canna be too careful. Why, my coortship lasted a matter o’ nineteen year!” “You certainly were careful,” agreed the lady listener. “And did you find your plan successful when you mar- ried?” “Ye jump to conclusions,” said the old man impatiently. “I understood her then, so I didna marry her!”—St. James’ Gazette. Poor Comfort, Apropos of the pretensions of those who might be counted as In society, Mrs. Bloomfield Moore in her book on “Sensible Etiquette” tells the follow- ing story: A snobbish young mman and his sister after their return home from an even- ing party were criticising the company, quite unaware that their sensible old uncle was lying awake in his chamber and could hear every word from where they stood in the corridor. “Why, even the Grinders were there, and you know their father was a gro- cer. I was never in such a mixed com- pany,” said the sister. “And we will never be again if T can help it,” answered the brother. The uncle called out: “Children, what do you think your grandfather was? He was a bootmaker, and some people say not a very honest one either. Now g0 to bed.” Cramp Rings. Formerly it was customary for kings of England on Good Friday to hallow certain rings, the wearing of which prevented cramp or epilepsy. They were made from the metal of decayed coffins and consecrated with an elab- orate ceremony, some detalls of which are still preserved. They were “highly recommended by the medical profes- slon” about 1557, for Andrew Boorde in his “Breviary of Health,” speaking of cramp says, “The kynge's majes- ite hath a great helpe in this matter in hallowing crampe ringes out money or petitlon.” Ocecasionally cramp rings played a persuasive part in diplomacy. Lord Berners, our am- bassador at the court of Charles V., wrote in 1508 “to my lorde cardinall’s grace” for some “crampe ryngs,” with trust to “bestowe them well, by God’s grace.”—Westminster Gazette. with- | DIARRHOEA There is no need of anyone suffer- ing long with this disease, for to effect a quick cure it is only neces- sary to take a few doses of G_hamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy In fact, in most cases one dose is sufficient.
