HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Man Cut to Pieces i'm a Now
ing Machine.

On Friday last stranger stopped
at Hank Mathews ranch near Well
ington, about 60 miles from this city,
and said he was looking for work.
When asked if he understood run
ming moving machine, he replied
IN the affirmative and as soon as a
pair of horses could be hitched up,
he was told where to begin cutting
some alfalfa, and started up in the
field.
AS he did not come back to the
house to lunch, a man was sent out to
see what he was doing, when he was
found dead in the field and literally
cut to pieces by the machine.
From all appearances the team
had run away and he had fallen in
front of the cutting bar. He had
been dragged some distance and he
had been caught IN the teeth of the
cutting bar and held there while he
was being dragged along the ground.
The knives must have been flying
all the while, for in places his flesh
was cut to ribbons, The horses had
come to standstill against a wire
fence, and were also terribly cut up.
After the horses had stopped they
apparently backed up and kicked and
trampled on the body, for his skull
! was crushed and his face terribly
mangled by the horses hoofs. The
machine was smashed to pieces, and
everywhere spattered with blood.
The poor man must have been cut
and mangled i'll over a hundred
places. His name is unknown, and
there was nothing on his person tc
give the slightest clew to his identity.
The remains were buried on the
| ranch.

He told her he was the man &C
cused of killing Pascos, and would
kill her, too, if she didn't keep quiet.
Reaching the forest she renewed
her struggles and managed to escape.
When the family got to Robinson's
house and failed to find the girl
there, search party started out,
and hearing her screaming in the
woods soon discovered her.

abductor Tailed with that of Fred
ericks.

The Silver Convention.

Chicago, July 25.-General A. j.
Warner, member of Congress from
Ohio, President of the2 American BIZ
metallic League is here to arrange
for the Bimetallic convention to be
gin August LIST, Over 1000 prom
inent silver men are expected from
all parts of the country.
General Warner said to-day:
sOur convention is called to DELHI
crate as to the course to be pursued
by those opposed to the repeal of the
sherman law without satisfactory
substitute, and to give expression
to public sentiment on the financial
question. Steps will be taken to
bring influence to bear upon Con-
gress and to prevent the consumma-
ton of what the gold men, acting
under foreign influence, are attempt
ing to carry out. | am confident
that the Sherman law cannot be re-
pealed without satisfactory substi-
tute. We believe that The Uuited
States alone can maintain the parity
of gold and silver at the present
ratio, but if the Government cannot
we would agree to a change of ratio.

A WOMAN'S CRY.

He will not come! The dire deserted street
Is black and silent, save when, now
and then,
The passing feet, alas! of other men
Deceive my aching heart and make it
He will not come!
All, who is it that makes him break his
tryst,
And almost her poor heart who waits
him now,
Pressing against the window pane the
brow
And longing lips he has SO often kissed?
He will not come!
He will not come! and somewhere, far
away,
His ears may hear the echo of my moan,
His eyes may see me watching here
alone,
His heart may guess my anguish as say,
He will not cOme!'
" He will not come!" the words are like
knell.
1 drop the curtain that with hopeful
hand
drew aside, yet linger where / stand,
All loath to bid this memory farewell.
He will not come!
He will not come! ah, absent one. good
night!
Good night, sad street; good night, dear
shelf ring tree;
Good night! good night! to all that
breathes of thee;
One more last lOOk-goOd night to love
He will not come!

Influence Over Men.

[Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Ladies' Home
Journal.
do not believe a man was ever
reformed by scolding or sarcasm.
Tears and repinings and complaints
soon grow to be an old story to him.
He can find more pleasure among his
convivial companions than he finds in
such home. Alas, that it should be
so.
Good women ought to study the art
of pleasing more than they do. No
woman can afford to fall back on her
goodness to reform a man. 1t is a
dangerous experiment and one that
rarely succeeds. The average man
must be entertained.
A man who has been hard drinker
or opium victim cannot suddenly give
up his vices without some stimulant to
take their place for a time. A man
accustomed to the excitement of gay
company cannot suddenly become
satisfied with the dullness and stupidity
which many good people allow to
creep into their homes.

The canal across the isthmus of
Corinth, which has just been opened
up, was first projected over two
thousand five hundred years ago.
Six hundred years after it was first
suggested Nero seriously contemplated
constructing it and went SO far as to
have a survey made, but stopped there.
1t is said that the canal as completed
was run on about the same lines as
those marked by Nero's surveyors.
1t is only about four miles long but
was big and costly work on account
of the immense amount of earth and
rock that had to be removed.

one side stand the corporate interests
of the United States, the moneyed
interests, aggregated wealth and
capital, arrogant, compassionless. They
are able to subscribe magni6cently to
campaign funds. They are able to
crush with their all-pervading influence
any who may dare oppose, and to
those who fawn and fatter they can
bring ease and plenty. These demand
that the Democratic party shall become
the agent to execute their merciless
DEGREES. On the other side stand an
-unnumbered throng, those who gave
to the Democratic party name, and
for whom it has assumed to speak.
Work-worn and dust-begrimed, they
make their mute appeal and too often
find their cry for help beat in vain
against the outer walls, while others
less deserving gain ready access to
legislative halls. This army, vast and
daily vaster growing, pleads with the
Democratic party to be its champion
in this terrible conflict. 1t cannot
press its claims amid sounds Of revelry;
it cannot march in phalanx and in
grand parade. No gaudy banners
float upon the breeze. Its battle
hymn is Home, Sweet Home;
Equality Before theLaw." Between
these forces, in doubt which way to
turn, yet conscious that upon its
decision must rest its fate, stands the
Democratic party, and to it, standing
thus, come the word of Israel's second
lawgiver: Choose ye This Day
Whom ye Will Serve" Aye, my
friends, let me invoke the memory of
him whose dust made sacred the soil
of Monticello, when his spirit went to
join the dead but sceptred sovereigns,
who still rule our spirit from their
earth. Thomas Jefferson was called a
demagogue. His followers were called
a mob, but he dared to follow the
best promptings of his heart he dared
to place man above matter, humanity
above poverty. He dared to spurn
the bribes of wealth and power, and
to plead the cause of the common
people, and because of the devotion to
their interests, the Democratic party
was invincible while he lived and
because of that devotion his memory
will be revered while history endures.
What message comes from the
Hermitage7 Aye, there was another
crisis in the affairs of this Government,
much like this. The national banks
of that day sought to control the
politics of the nation and God raised
up Andrew Jackson, who had the
courage to srapple with the nation:
enemy. By overthrowing it he made
himself the idol the American people
and brought back to public confidence
the Democratic party. We stand TO-
day, just after the greatest success in
the history of the Democratic party
and, standing upon this victory
crowned summit, will the party turr
its face to the rising or the setting
sum- will it choose blessings or ours
ings, life or death, which, which,"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Bryan:
