So severe was the sneezing that fol- lowed that the inferior oblique muscle of the left eye was ruptured, and as he con- tinued to sneeze the exertion forced the eye out of its socket. Doran says he felt as if something had broken in his head. With his right eye he saw the left optic hanging down his cheek. Dr. Heady re- Placed the eye and applied a lotion to the muscle.

WHAT THE SUPREME PRESIDENT SAYS Mr. Boyer Also Makes Charges Against the Supreme Officers. THE ALEXANDRIA COUNCIL The now famous A. P. A. circular at- tacking Candidate Bryan received fresh prominence today by a letter and series of resolutions received at populist headquar- ters from Council No. 10, at Prescott, Ark. With the letter and resolutions, which are stamped with the seal of the lodge, was @ copy of the famous circular, the contents of which were given in The Star. The of- ficials at populist headquarters gave the mnatter to the press for publication. A sensation is added to the matter by the statement of Supreme President Echols of the A. P. A. headquarters here. He was shown a copy of the letter and resolu- tions. He immediately gave it as his be- Nef that the affair was a forgery, but said that if it Was genuine he would promptly suspend the council for illegally using its seal on a document of that kind.. He was highly indignant, but clung to the belief that the seal of the Prescott lodge had been stolen and attached to the documents. Believe It a Fraud. The following is a verbatim copy of the matter received at populist headquarters, and President Echols has already seen the originals: “PRESCOTT, Ark., October 24, 1806, “The inclosed circular seems to have been sent out from Washington by the of- ficers of the American Protective Associa- tion direct to the subordinate lodges of the country, and this, not being regular, we believe it to be a fraud, perpetrated by Mark Hanna. We therefore send you the circular that you may do what can be done to counteract its influence in the election to be held on the 3d proximo. If the cir- cular is genuine those putting it out are traitors to the principles of the order, and if it is a fraud you are in a position to learn the truth, and in either event the matter ought to be exposed, let the odium fall where it may. Yours respectfully, “OLIVER 8. JONES, J. T. BURNS, W. HAYES, Committee Council of Arka! sas.”” The Resolutions. “That whereas a circular purporting to come from ‘headquarters, American Pro- tective Association,’ signed by Supreme President John W. Echols and Supreme Secretary W. J. Palmer, addressed to the officers and members of the said associa- tion; and “Whereas the manner of transmitting of said circular to the subordinate councils has not been regular or in accordance with the laws prescribed for the transmutation of all literature to the subordinate coun- therefore be it - “Resolved, That we, the members and officers of Council No. 10 of A. P. A.’s of Prescott, Ark., do not recognize said circu- lar as genuine or official, because it is not indorsed by the national or state advisory boards, because it proposes to convey in- formation to the members and officers of the association, yet withholds the facts, and only hints at or throws inuendoes, a deed as cowardly and dastardly as a stab in the dark by a midnight assassin; “And we denounce said circular as a fraud on fts face and a base subterfuge, to subserve the pemonal interests of the authors of said circular, and not for the good or best interests of the whole order or of the American nation; “And we demand the proof that W. J. Bryan is other than a high-souled, whole- spirited Christian and patriotic citizen, who has the interests of 70,000,000 people at heart. “Is it true Americanism to advise the common people to give to W. J. Bryan, the man of the people and for the people, the marble heart on election day and vote for Wm. McKinley, the candidate of plutocrats and gold bugs, of millionaires and monopo- lists? “Is it true Americanism to advise a peo- ple to vote themselves poorer and the rich richer? “And be it further resolved, That said circular is a fraud and a deception, which is sought to be imposed upon subordinate councils in order to aid McKinley in se- curing votes from said couneils; “And be it further resolved, That said circular not only seeks to pander to the A. P. A.’s by prejudicing them against W. J. Bryan by charging that he Is in league with Catholics, but seeks to also arouse the prej- udice of the Catholics against W. J. Bryan by intimating that it was charged that he was an A. P. A., this, like the ‘nigger fish trap, catches ‘em comin’ and gwine,’ for McKinley. “And be it further resolved, That these resolutions be sent to headquarters of the national democratic and populist commit. tees, that these charges might be refuted. “J.

The paper used has the heading, “Of- fice of J. T. Burns, Lawyer.” No Action About Alexandrina. President Echols was asked if he had taken any action about suspending the Alexandria council which passed resolu- tions a few nights ago denouncing the at- tack on Bryan, He said that he had not looked into the matter to see whether the alleged resolutions were authentic. He could not say what he would do until he ascertained this fact. Another Attuck Made. The United American, published in this city by A. J. Boyer, and run in the inter- est of the order, has come out this week with a severe attack on the supreme offi- cers for their attack on Bryan. An appeal to the members of the organization ts pub- Ushed on the first page and signed by Mr. Boyer. The appeal, among other things, say: “Supreme President Echols, at the open- irg of the campaign, distinctly stated in a published official letier that ‘the A.P.A. Is fighting no presidential candidate and ts supporting none.’ And yet we find the officials engaged, at the expense of party managers, in the attempt to prostitute the order to the nefarious purpose of throwing its mighty influence at the approaching election in favor of one political party as against the other, in the face of the fact that the public reccrds of the presidential candidates of both regarding the questions in which the order Is concerned are the me; and despite the fact that the party these officials are assisting kicked the crder out of the St. Louis convention at the dic- tation of Archbishop Ireland Mr. Echols on This. Talking about this attack teday, Presi- dent Echols said: ‘All I have to say is that Mr. Boyer is a suspended member of our order.” es POLICY RAID. Police Arrest the Runr Cross the Bridge. When the Jackson City people fell out a short time ago and several of them had to go through the farce of appearing before one of the county’s judicial officers, bus- iness was interrupted and the policy shops closed down. The closing wes only tempo- rary, however, and when the large batch of cases had been disposed of the gamblers got everything in readiness to renew opera- tions. Last week the policy shops started up egain and are now in full blast. Be- cause of the work done by the police here the players of the miserable gambling game had become thoroughly frightened and would not dare venture to pass the sentries on the bridge. But eome of the old hands at the business who understood every move that was being made, as they supposed, were willing to make a dcal with the policy men, and they acted as writers and runners. The number of men 60 employed increased from time to time, until a great many familiar faces were seen crossing the bridge. Yesterday the officers in charge of this branch of the service concluded to make a raid, and this morning Sergt. Daley and two officers were on guard at this end of the bridge. One after another the alleged policy men appeared, and as soon as they did the officers placed them under arrest and searched them. On five of the colored men they found evidence of policy, and the men were locked up. The money and slips taken from them were held as evidence and the cases will come up in the Police Court tomorrow. —_—.__. Convicted of Robbery. Charles Ponsy and Robert Burnett, young colored men, were convicted in Criminal Court No. 1 today of robbing Frank Hyack, an elderly white man, of his watch and $15 in Freeman's alley the 11th of last month.

THE SLEEPING BOY. cs Hanson Rests Still Under Hypnotic Influence. Charles Hanson is, to: all appearances, still sound asleep. He has lain stretched Cha: out on a sofa in the wiildow of a G street drug store since Tuegs!ay. morning, and has shown no-signs oft-waking. Mrs. Macdonnell, thé hyfnotist y who is trying her powers on ‘faijgon, announced today that she would afuge him tomorrow afternoon instead of alewtag him to slum- ber on until Saturday movtting, as was at ‘frst planned.

Some one is on watch at all hours of the day and night to pre- vent inquisitive people from sticking pins in him or blowing tobacco smoke in his nostrils to see if he-would squirm. Last night he was examined by three physicians, who pronounced his pulse and temperature to be normal. A con:ribution box has been placed beside the sota on which Han- son lies, but 60 far the visitors are not falling over themselves.in a iad rush to pay for the privilege of seeing a man esleep, and the chances are that he will be little the better off financially for his four days of oblivicn. eS DIVORCE GRANTED. Mrs. Hoover Gets a Separation From Her Husband. The long-pending divorce case of Mary L. against Thomas G. Hoover was disposed of teday by Judge Hagner, Mrs. Hoover being granted a divorce because of the husband's adultery. She is also given the custedy and guardianship of-the four minor children, Mr. Hoover being ordered to pay the costs of the suit. The order of May 14, 1896, requiring the. husband to pay $7: monthly for the support of Mrs. Hoover and the children is continued in force, al- though each party is given thirty days in which to apply for a modification of it. The case was instituted by Mrs. Hoover June 6, 1895, and she is said to have ac- cused her husband of infidelity with Mrs. Ada I. Burroughs. Two days later Mrs. Burroughs’ husband, James E. Burroughs, filed a suit for divorce, charging his wife, it 1s said, with unfaithfuiness with Hoover. Mr. Burroughs was given a divorce the 24th of the following October. The two men had previously appeared in the Police Court, where Hoover charged Burroughs with assaulting him. The case was virtual- ly dismissed by the court, however. Attorney W.. Preston Williamson repre- sented Mrs. Hoover in her divorce case. Shea After a stumping tour in the middle west, George Fred Williams arrived at Boston Tuesday night, and was resolved at the Station by 5,000 enthusiastic supporters. Mr. Williams spoke td a crowded meeting in Faneuil Hall, with:iC. F. Callahan, the candidate for lieutenagt governor. SoS = Es etessoososecees: POO PPOSLS aCe 45 If you wish ¥oitr Linen sa test?

REPORTS FROM THE PACIFIC SLOPE Quotations From Mr. Lincoln’s Speeches Pronounced Forgeries. RAPID CHANGEOFSENTIMENT Mr. Babcock, chairman of the congres- sional committee, when asked this after- noon to give a statement in detail of the republican members that they expected to elect to the Fifty-fifth Congress, said that it had been the invariable rule of this com- mittee, both in the campaign of 1894 and in this campaign, to refrain from giving any detailed statement of the congressional situation by districts cr states. “The statements made by- Mr. Apsley and myself,” said Mr. Babcock, “were in gross, showing the number of republican members that we expect will be elected; and any statements or tables purporting to show detailed information of the congres- sional situation by districts or states are unauthorized, and published without the sanction of this committee.” Oregon and Washington Snfe. Republican headquarters here have re- ceived an interesting and reliable summary of the situation in Oregon and Washington from the leading campaign committees of those states. The advices are to the effect that Oregon is considered by the republican state leaders as absolutely safe. The Mc- Kinley majority there is estimated at from five to fifteen thousand. In Washington, Sulltvan, the republican candidate for gov- ernor, is regarded as sure of election. Judge Burke of Seattle and other leading demo- crats in the state are taking a most vig- orous part in the campaign, supporting McKinley and the republican ticket, and the effect is telling very rapidly. Burke, in particular, has been very successful in bringing about a change of sentiment among the democrats. It is said that if the cause gains as rapidly as it has in the past two weeks Washington is perfectly safe for the entire ticket. This letter was writ- ten October 19. Senator Tillman is now stumping Oregon, and it 1s said that his speeches do not take at all, and that they have already resulted in bringing a large number of former Bryan supporters into the McKinley camp. A large portion of people quit in disgust after every Tillman speech. Senator Mitchell is regarded as sure of re-election. Wheat in Oregon today is worth about 50 per cent more than it was a year or so. ago, and this is helping the republicans greatly, as this convinces the farmers that the silver and wheat charts circulated by the Bryanites are utter nonsense, Forged Utterances of Mr. Lincoln. The democrats are circulating in the south- ern and western states a small yellow cir- cular bearing the shadowy outlines of a picture of Abraham Lincoln, with alleged quotations from the martyred President's speeches, foreshadowing all sorts of horri- ble things from an increase of the money power of the country. These extracts bear ho date showing when or where President Lincoln delivered such sentiments, and have heen pronounced forgeries by Col. John Hay and Mr. Nicolay, Lincoin’s private secretaries. These hand bills were widely irculated among the crowds that listened to Mr. Bryan in Washington, and are said to be given out to crowds on similar oc sions, whenever Mr. Bryan speaks in country district, where the newspapers which have exposed the alleged forgery do not circulate largely. Advice received from Collin count: are to the effect that the republic: a n vot there will be three times as large as two years ago, and ten times as large as four years ago. Populists in many parts of Texas are not enthusiastic over national tusion, and are hot on the-trail of the national populist campaign committee for Senator Butler's treatment of Watson. Change of Sentiment in Utah, As illustrating the rapid change of senti- ment which has taken place in extreme western states the following is an extract from a letter to Chairman Babcock from a resident of Center, Utah: “At the open- ng of the campaign voters in the west were not prepared for the fight, as they had read comparatively nothing concerning the monetary condition of the country, but for all that had been made to believe by the press that the demonetization of silver in 1st% was a terrible crime, fraught with un- told injury to the whole country. On this account they were perfectly bewildered, and it seemed for a while as though nine-tenths of the voters would be Bryanites. Now, however, that the people have had a chance to read and refleci, the Bryan craze is dying out, and those of thinking minds are re- turning to the ranks. They have read and been undeceived and feei themselves on solid ground. Even yet on account of so many miners residing here Utah will, I fear, go for Bryan. The vote for McKinley, however, will be considerable, for the people here all 'well know the value of protection and are certainly not unappreciative of an honest dollar.” ——__-+e-____ Gonzaga Alumni Association.
