CHEYENNE, Oct. 4.—(Special Telegram.) =Jjnch McKinney, the notorious conviet, WhO s serving an eight-year term in the Penitentiary at Laramie for cattle stealing, bas again escaped from captivity. Not- Withstanding his record as a desperate char- acter McKinney was an exemplary prisoner, fn cousequence of which he was allowed o do special work about the prison, Last night while he was assisting in serving sup- per he managed to slip out the rear door nto the yard unobserved. A guard saw him as he was scaling the wall and gave an alarm, but McKinney managed to escape in the darkness. A posse searched for him dl{, but without succes fidde his escapa from the Laramie county Jall_while awaiting trial.

USED A KNI ‘r Drunken Row at Lin Almost Ends In | | Mur LINCOLN, Oct. M. | Adams, who Is booked at the police station as | a laborer, and John E. Holland, a railroad man, indulged in a rather spirited mmm-‘ 1 sion on the merits of the strike on the Bur- lington five or six years ago In Julius Ottens’ | saloon, and when nothing but the smell of fresh, warm blood was deemed likely to | convince either of the correctn of the po- | sition, they adjourned to the cedar block | pavement in front of the saloon to settle the matter in a trial by combat. Holland had | Rotten in two or three very inpressive points “in his argument that scemed to take hold %upon Adams’ head with considerable force | when the latter pulled out a penknife and sbuck it Inwo his antagonist dircctly over the heart. There was an abundant flow of blood | and Holland was at once conveyed to his home | at 135 South Tenth street, where a doctor | attended him. He found that a severe wound had been inflicted, which missed the heart but a fraction of an inch, and that it was | not likely to prove fatal. Porter Sherman of Kansas City delivered An address before the Political Science club of the Stato university last evening on ither Capl‘alism Nor Communism; a Plea for the Middlo Class.” It was a dis- sertation of political economy of the modern achool, and the speaker declared for a thor- ough renovating of sociely to restore social and industrial equality. | There was a lively little time up at the court house this morning and soma warm talk indulged in over what Commissioner | Westcott calls with a sarcastic inflection | . “populist patriotism.” Tihis morning the commissioner instructed the janitor to deco- | rate the front and north sides of the court Liouse with flags kept for that purpose, and in pursuance therewith the janitor stuck a | number of flags from the various windows in the sherif’s office. After he had gone | Deputy Sheriff Hoxie took the flags down. i | The fact was reported to Chairman West- cott of the Board of Commissioners, and he and Harry Abbott went up to the sheriff's office. Mr. Westcott inquired with consider- able warmth what Hoxie meant by pulling lown the Amerfcan flag, and Hoxie replied hat that was a populist office, controlled by populists, and they didn’t propose to decorate | in honor of a republican.

PENDER, Neb., Oct. 4.—(Special)—A bold but unsuccessful attempt was made last sassinate F. M. Fennell at his farm, about three miles cast of town. He was sitting on the bed removing his shoes preparatory to retiring, when an unknown person approached the window on the west \de of the house and fired through it, the ball striking the top of the bed post near him, glancing off and burying itself in the floor at the feet of Luther Shepardson, a hired hand. The ball was from a 38-caliber revolver, as near as could be ascertained | in its battered condition. The only cause for the attempt at murder is the fact that Fennel has announced his intention of strat- ing a paper here in the nmear future to be known as the Owl, which will “tell tales” that the ordinary paper refralns from deal- ing in. After the shot was fired Fennell seized a shotgun and ran outdoors, and saw a man about fifty yards from the house running toward the corn. He blazed away at him, but was unable to bag his bird.

BROKEN BOW, Neb., Oct. 4.—(Special )= The news of the suiclde of Luke Lavender in Florence, Ala., Sunday was a great shock to the citizens of this community, where he had made his home for the past ten years. He was one of the early settlers of the state, and one of the homesteaders of the site on which the eity of Linecoln now stands, When the town of Lincoln was located he was one of the parties that donated part of the site as an inducement to locate the state capital at that place.

Having lost all his property in Linc which he was in liti- gation over four years trying to regain part the south, stating to his friends that when he found a place where he could make a living he would write. No word has been heard from him since.

She Las since located at Monmouth, I, where her son lives, Just what hie will covers, which the dis- pateh in The Bee speaks of him making be. fore he shot himself, is a conundrum, as his farm and home are encumbered for more than they would sell for at the present time. The deceased’s mind was at times thought 0 ba affected, his troubles and old age visibly telling on him, He was a good citi- zen and believed in dealing honorably with his fellow men, He has a son by his first wife liviog in Omaha.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb., Oct. 4.—(Speclal Telegram.)—Guy Boyer, a young man of this place, is in the counly jail on a serious charge.

The other morning when the jan- itor of the Second ward school went to at. tend to his duties at the school, he discovered three couples in an extremely compromising position in one room.

While the latter went for assistance two of the young men and one of the girls effected an escape through a rear window. Boyer and two of the girls were arrested. The latter, one of whom is under the age of consent, are held as witnesses against him. The two youths who were not caught have left town. Boyer's trial will bo hield tomorrow.

To theater goers the story is one sufficiently well known to need no further telling, bor- dering, as it does, upon the misfortunes of & young attache of the foreign office through a harmless flirtation with a very attractive widow summering at Brighton. Miss Chap- man plays the role with considerable ver- satility, her siuging being a very marked feature of the performance. Mr. Frederick Weber as Leopold was dignified tiroughout, which cannot be said of the Spinks of George Hallton, who acted more with his legs than in other directions, a valet mot necessarily having to be a contortionist. Mr. Brooks as the Russian diplomat, a fine character part by the way, was hardly in evidence but still got considerable humor out of the part.

TINDALL'S CHURCH Gratitying Reports from the Districts in the Jurisdiction—Missionary Sermon Y terday Afternoon—List of Delegat: ~Program for Following Days, The twelfth annual sesion of the North Ne- braska conference of the Methodist Episcopal north of the Platte and east of Wood river, | convened at the Seward Street Methodist church yesterday, with seventy-nine of the clergymen responding to roll call. The house of worship, which fs presided over by Rev. D. K. Tindall, never looked prettier, or more inviting, than it did when the clergy, the laymen and their ladies marched up the aisles, where for a short time they participated in a conference prayer meeting. Around and about the pulpit the ladies of the congregation had distributed ferns and potted plants, while from the chandeliers hung pretty wreaths of smilax, with vases filled with eut flowers and roses standing be- side the bible which rested upon the altar. After the close of the devotional exercises the venerable and respected divine, Bishop An- drews of New York, outlined the order of ex- ercises for the day Bishop Andrews is well known fn Omaha and Is loved and respected by all who know him, and there are many here, for upon several occasions he has filled the pulpits of the Methodist churches that mestle upon the hillsides and in the vales of not only the clty, but the whole state. In appearance ho is the same as when here a year or more ago. Time has handled him gently and he does not appear a day older than when last he was in Omaha. The same smile for all lights his face and the same bright twinkle 18 in his eye, though, if possible, his hair and beard are a trifle whiter. In a short speech he stated the object of the gathering, saying that God had prospered the Methodist church during the conference year, which was closing, and the prospect for the future was exceedingly bright. Rev. Dr. Spencer addressed the confer- ence upon the subject “Church Extension,” saying that during the past year Methodism had made some remarkable strides and had invaded many of the heathen lands where before the word of Christ had never been preached. The teachings and the doctrines of the church had been scattered broadeast, both at home and abroad, but notwithstand- ing the rapid strides made by the church in the United States there were 5,000 Sunday schools without shelter and any number of churches without pastors. One thipg, how- ever, which pleased him was the fact that during his twenty-six years in the ministry he did not know of a Methodist church that had been sold under the sheriff’s hammer that had not been redeemed. year, however, he thought might possibly be Qifferent, as 'twenty houses of Methodist worship had been sold at auction, while 200 more were on the way to the hands of the sherift.

Chancellor Crook of the Wesleyan univer- sity at Lincoln, reported 325 students in attendance, with only one in seven on free tution. Sixty of the swudents, he sald, boarded themselves. Two new literary so. cieties had been organized during the present term of school, making six in all. He urged in the clection of the two trustees, only the best men, men who would be trust. worthy, men who were from the business world. Last year an application for a loan was rejected, the reasons belng that there were too many of the cloth upon the board. Edit~ . Young of the Central Christian Advo..-e, urged the reading of Christian papers and journals, saying that reading the matter contained in them cultivated the mind In an atmosphere healthy to the soul. The daily papers of the country did not attack the saloons and vice as did religlous papers, not because they did not dare, but because it was not good policy. Christian journals brought before the old and young the truths and facts that could not be obtained from any other source. All of the charges would do as well as last year, with many of them doing more, some of them having given even more than thelr share. The spiritual condition of the district was good, every charge having enjoyed a spirit of divine grace, more than 1,000 souls having been given to Christ. REPORTS OF PRESIDING ELDERS, J. B. Maxfield, presiding elder of the Omaha Qistrict, went Into statistics, and sald that in the conference districts there were 372,334 persons, of which 207,081 were in Omaha division, with 60,396 in the Norfolk, 56,974 in the Grand Island and 47,883 in the Neligh district. J. E. Moore, presiding elder of the Grand Island district, reported efficient preachers Preachers and people commenced the year with high hopes, but faflure of crops had defeated some of the plans, as there was but little money to be found. This financial stringency, however, had not resulted in the abandonment of any of the churches. Twelve hundred conversions were reported during the year. David Marquette, presiding elder of the Neligh district, read his report for the year, showing that much new life had been thrown into the church. There bad been numerous revivals throughout he district, and in nearly all instances the congregations asked the re- turn of their pastors. The churches of the district closed the year in good shape and fully equipped to fight rum, Romanism and the devil. ~ During the year there had been built three churches at a cost of $6,800, and three parsonages at a cost of §$2,200. The total conversions aggregated 750 souls. Mr. Marquette said that he had labored in the ministry for a quarter of a century in Ne- braska and never before had he seen the The coming | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: ¥BIDAY, financlal outlook wo mfiu In the western portiog of the ‘x’nw. A. Hodgetts, preliding: elder of the Norfolk distridt, comprisih th’nun counties, re- ported that new terfitofy had been entered during the past ybar'with good resuits. Most of the tecritory oacnflu was well_supplied with churches and parfonages. New and large church building, however, were needed in many of the towns. Considering the circumstances ministerial support had been good, with nearly all of the clergy paid in full. Just before the hour ef the noon adjourn- ment ft was voted that the missionary sermon by Rev. Willlam Gorst should be delivered iIn the afternoon instead of in the evening. ANNUAL MISSIONARY EERMON. The statistical session of the conference | convened promptly at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. J, W. Shank of Omaha presiding. Reports from the churches in the four districts were pres church, comprising that portion of the state | ®¢nted and referred to the appropriate com- mittees, Routine business having been disposed of, the preaching of the missionary sermon by Rev. Willlam Gorst of Norfolk, was made the special order of the afternoon. He pic- tured the old home with the aged mother sitting by the fireside, from which the father had departed for the great unknown land many years before. The children were there, t0 go out from that home and engage In the struggle for life. This day might not com- emorate the birth of Christ, but His word was present with His children. Christ did not say that there was not a place for the Pharisee, but instead, He said that there should be one fold and one shephard, lifting the veil and opening the door, revealing the fact that all might be saved. It was hard for the men in Palestine to belleve that any- one could be saved except the Jews; it was hard for them to believe that others were to enter the kingdom of heaven. Many men | preached the gospel, but there were not so many who followed the right track. Peter, in preaching his sermon, said that there were other men beside Jews, and he went on preaching, the people listening, to hear the word of God, as he urged that Jews and Gen- tiles could become Christianized and enter the kingdom of heaven. “I should have supposed that after that the people would have said that this gospel was for everybody. If you follow on you will see Peter on the housetops preaching, and the Lord speaks to him again and again, telling him to preach to all. He went, but went timidly, and preached the everlasting gospel, and the fire came down upon the Gentiles, and he was anointed with the Holy Ghost. That was not all. The Jews went down to where Paul was preach- ing to the Gentiles and told him that that was not right. With Barnabas he went back to Jerusalem and into the counll, where he told them that the gospel was for all. This was the result of the missionary enterprises which have been carried on to this day, though the great land of the Nazerenes is in the hand of the enemy today, beneath the heel of Mohammed. No matter where the man is, no matter what his color may be, the power of God is with the person who goes into the missionary field to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, ‘‘Men say that the gospel has about run its course; some men want to cut the missionary fund W two, but it should not be, for the church must become cosmopolitan, with the voice of the blessed son of God urging on and on until there is not a place on earth where the gospel is not preached.” There was no session of the conference last night. At the afternoon session an invita- tion was extended tb attend the McKinley meeting. This was accepted, and at 6:30 the members met at the church, and from there in a body they marched to the Coliseum, where reserved seats had been selected by the members of the republican central com- mittee. i Routine business will be transacted during each session of the week, with the following speclal program on thé dates here mentioned Friday, 2:80 p. m.-The W.

TURN FROM TARIFE T0 MONEY American Voters, OHIO DEMOCRATS SEE ISSUES CHANGING State Executive Committee of the Party In that State Declares that the Appre- clation of the Dollar is the Source of Evil. COLUMBUS, 0., Oct. .—The democratic state executive committee today, of which A. W. Thurman is president and W. A. Taylor secretary, issued an address to the voters of Ohio to the effect that tariff reform has won ard that the money question I8 now the supreme issue before the country. The address contains about 3,400 words and is understood to have been prepared by Mr. Therman, It says among other thing First, That money is the standard by which the exchangeable value of all labor and the products of the same are determined. Second, That no money standard has ever been nor can ever be fixed at an unvarying measure, Third, Business men must remember that money may be appreciated in value as well as depreciated. Fourth, That when it appreciates prices fall; when it depreciates prices rise. Fifth, That the value of money itselt is fixed by its exchangeable or purchasing power over other commodities and this pur- chasing power of money Is determined wholly and solely by the proportion that the quantity of money in circulation bears to other cemmodities. Sixth, Now, what {is the demand for money? It is the demand of all things upon this one thing. Seventh, Now, what is the supply? The supply is the creation solely of the govern- ment, as nothing fs money until the stamp of the government is placed upon it. Prior to the demonetization of silver in 1873 gold and silver was the standard money. Since then it has been gold. The supply was cut Could any result other than the for twenty years follow the adoption of this policy? In silver countries prices have remained stable. In gold countries prices have fallen from 40 to 50 per cent. Silver is the standard of value of more than half of the world. The general decline In prices has been brought about by the shrinkage in the volume of money relative to population and business. If the value of money in circula- tion be made to bear a direct and steady ratio to population and business prices will be maintained at a steady level, and, what is of supreme importance, money will change but little lue. Eighth, Every money commission which has been appointed by different governments have said that beyond any doubt during the last twenty years gold has continuaily and steadily appreciated in value; and that tbis appreciation has been the real cause of the tremendous fall in prices which have taken place in all values, and the great financial disturbances we have seen in all gold-using countries Ninth, Affirms elghth as true, Tenth, That there has been no overprodue- tion of silver, because, for 400 years prior to 1575, the relative production of gold and silver was not quite 15 of silver to 1 of gold, and for the twenty years since 1873 it has not exceed 16 (o 1. Eleventh, That the free coinage of silver dces not mean any sudden inflation and disturbance of yalues, Twelfth, That this gold standard was im- posed and continues to be imposed upon the pecple of the United States by England, In speaking of this Senator Cameron of Penn- sylvania said: “Yet the bankers of London bave sald that we must submit and we have submitted.” TEirteenth, Thai there never has in the world been such a thing as Interest on all mgney and in all probabllity never will be. ourteenth, That there is not a singls obligation of the United States govern- ment other than gold certificates that Is not by explicit terms of the contract payable In either gold or silver; and we demand of the servants of the people MANS imples, A BEFORE ano AFTER CUPID!

Who can say this s not right? Fitteenth, That gold alone does not afford a sufficient basis upon which our paper cur- rency can safely rest. xteenth, The advocates of the single gold standard claim that only gold can make an honest dollar. According to them, then, as we have shown that gold has continually appreciated in value for twenty years, a dollar s only honest when it is increasing in purchasing power. Seventeenth, Again, the gold advocates say that one dollar must be as good as an- other, but they do not define what *‘good- ness” means. " 1s not a just dollar a good dolflar? Is not a dollar of unchanging value a good dollar? Has the gold dollar been unchanging value? In 1873, before silver was demonetized, the same gold dollar was worth 3 per cent less than the silver dollar; that same silver dollar will purchase just as much of every other commodity now as it would prior to 187 Eighteenth, Free coinage s not an experi- ment, but #0 far as the single gold standard has gone it has been a most disastrous one. Nineteenth, With the dollar appreciating in value as it is now doing, thereby causing a decrease in the price of all products, tax- payers are compelled to give more labor or the products of more labor to obtain these dollars, the only thing with which they can discharge all state, county and municipal taxes, all of which are fixed charges. There- fore, to decrease the price of products is to increase taxes. Twentleth, Continued must annthilate profits, industrics must be paral. to aceumulate in money centers, where it is especially used by those who gamble in securities, Instead of being used in productive enterprises. “The gold supply of the world has been substantially cornered”’—see Baron Rothschild’s apeech at late monetary con- ference at Brussels. Twenty-first—It business men could only be assured that prices had once touched bottom, and that even as low as they are now they would remain steady and stable in the future, then it might be possible for them to transact their business on a stable footing. 1f the policy does not stop we do not for one moment hesitate to absolutely afirm that no matter whether we have high tarift, low tariff or no tariff there can be no permanent revival In business affalrs. Stocks of all kinds are now 8o low that we may expect some commercial Improvement, but that it can last for any length of time, if the present monetary conditions are malntained, is an absolute impossibility. e The Greatest Races in the West, October 1ith at the Sioux City Interstate fair, Robert J and Patchen, Sloux City & Pacific railroad, half fare, special service, large party from Omaba, leave in the morn- ing, back at night.
