NEVADA CITY. Gala. Sept. 1.-THE
body OF Superintendent Galavott of the
Derbec mine, who was shot by highway
men this morning, was brought here this
afternoon. The ball entered bis face at
the left side of the nose aud the superin-
tsndent died instantly. Ostrom, who was
with 0alavotti, says he first thought Gal
avotti' sown gun had beer discharged acct
dentally so close was the shot fred. Os-
from seized the lifeless body just in time
to save it from going out of the buggy,
then struck tho horses to get u of dan
ger. They sprang forward just as a sec
-ond shot, which struck one of them in the
neck, was fred. Galavotti's rifle and hat
fell to the ground as the team ran up the
hill like mad, blood from the wounded
horse covering the other horse at every
jump. Ostrom neither saw nor heard
from the robbers, who are generally be-
iieved to be two in number, although
Ostrom thinks there wes but one.
A gold bar was brought In this after
noon. 1t contains a little less than
$4,000 being the semi monthly clean up.
Galavotti was one of the best gravel min
ers in the state. He leaves a widow but
no children. A large number of men are
searching the Yuba canyon and outlying
country in all directions, but as the terri
tory is rugged and heavily timbered and
cut up with inuumerable r~avines there in
but little prospects of capturing the

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. l7.-Capt.
Randall of Fort Ringgold wired Gen. Stan
ley concerning the men who invaded
Mexico tofoment a revolution. A scout
sent out yesterday has returned aud re-
ports that he went to the Genella ranch,
eighteen miles from Fort Ringgold, and
found a party OF sixty men had crossed
the Rio Grande on the night of the 18th.
They came from the Palette Blanco, eighty
miles north OF the crossing. Many of
them were Mexicans from Carmarco and
we're commanded by G. A. Garcia, an
editor. A large body of Mexican troops,
from San Miguel engaged them yes
terday and are now in pursuit.
The leader. Garcia, was. formerly
editor of Mexican paper at San Antonio.
and lately at Carmarco. He is under
indictment for criminally libelllng the
government OF Leon.
A Times Democrat Laredo. Tex. cor
respondent telegraphed last night that
while the plazas OF this city and Neuva
Laredo were crowded with people, IN
known parties distributed a dodQer printed
in Spanish and called "Plan of the Revo-
luton" 1t set forth that Mexico was in
the tolls of a second Santa Ana, referring
to President Diaz. and all liberty-loving
people should join in the revolution and
named S~andovsl, Of border fame. as COM
mander in chief of the army. Sandoval
is the man who crossed the river near
here some months e with seven men
and was scooped in by civil authorities,
assisted BY United States troops. and was
acquitted for lack OF evidence as to the
motive.
Last night after the circular was dis
tributed. a man named Renzonia, fore
lnan OF Garcia's paper, was arrested on
the plaza. 1t is the general opinion here
that the whole thing is ahoax and reports
that Garcia crossed the river with fifty
men are discredited by people who know
him and believe him to be a coward. L
Is known that Sandoval Is not with hin
but is in Galveston or New Orleans.
The Pcdyune's Brownville, Texas
special says: The best information her
shows that 100 men crossed the river nea
Omier and Camargo. They cut the tele
graph wires but communication was re
stored today. The revolutionists hav'
had a fight with a squad OF armed customs
guards near San Miguel and lost some o
their horses. No one was hurt as far al
known. Gen. C~ortina, the erstwhile ter
ror of his neiRhborhood, was arrested al
Matamoras today. Cause not stated.

COLUMBUS. o.. Sept. 17.-Governor
Campbell opened the campaign at Sidney
today. The governors speech was de-
voted chiefly to the tariff and silver
questions. He said Mckinley had lodged
the former question from the opening

question paramount. He charged the
Republican leaders of the state with hav-
ing made concentrated efforts to force
down the tariff issue in the campaign.
He then took up the records of Maj.
Mckinley on the silver question and
charged him with having voted for free
coinage as far back as 1877. The free
silver men had claimed Mckinley as a
champion about the time. of the passage
of the silver certificate act OF 1890.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb.. Sept. 1.-THE
Democrats met in state convention here
today. Frank P. ireland presided and
j. H. Broodv was nominated for supreme
Judge and +. A. Brogsn and s. +.
Heneher for regents of the state uni
venity. Every mention of the name of
Cleveland provoked wild applause. The
platform adopted congratulates the people
upon the defeat of the prohibition amend
ment, denounces the force bill, r~eioices
deliberate body. denounces trusts and
pools and condemns the one-sided
reciprocity of the present administration
which invites commercial intercourse only
with nations which buy our manufacturing
products and prohibits freedom of ex-
change with those nations which purchase
our surplus agricultural products as an
attempt to continue favorinR the manu-
featuring industries in another form with
the advantages which they have had
under the system of protection.
I'VE demand" the platform continues,
that all legislation upon this subject shall
give to the interest of the farmer equal
consideration with other classes of So
ciety."
1t favors the free coinage of silver, and
that 1t shall be made full and legal tender
for all debts, public or private and de.
nounces the unjust and dishonest provIs-
ions OF the law recently enacted allowing
parties to stlpulate against the payment
in silver and SILVER certificates, thus set
ting up one standard tor the rich man
and another for tho poor man.
The platform d%enounces as suggestive
OF partisan prejudice the indescent haste
shown in issuing a writ of custer against
Hon. James Il. Boyd. the chosen COVER.
nor. denying to him that courtesy and
fair treatment usually accorded to the
meanest criminal In the land.
The Democrats OF Nebraska favor the
proposed amendment to the constitution
creating the Offices of three railroad com
m~issioners and making the same elective
by the people, and also favor a law estab-
fishing maximum freight rates. similar tt

Lieutenant Governor Jones today pre-
pared the statement that not only have
the interests of the people been sac

Democratic party has been ieopardized.
The continued subservience," says he,
but makes the condition too degrading

There is but one way to dislodge these
usurpers. The temporary defeat of the
party will be harmless compared with the
effects of their control. For the welfare
of the state and in the interests of the
Democratic party my duty is to oppose

be within my power. and in such manner
as may seem best to accomplish that pur-
