The Platform.
The Omaha platform oflast year is ap.
proved; and it is the opinion of the
committee that there are bat two par
ties-the Peoples and the gold, and
says under that head:
1--WE call upon the voters of Iowa to
repudiate all party connections with
the gold men, to draw the line before
they are forced to revolution to protect
their children from tenant slavery"
Upon the distinctive state issue of
prohibition the platform is in favor of
the present law until it can be C
ceeded by state or national control.
The platform. which closes with a de-
mand for womans' suffrage wasadopted
without debate. There were no con-
tests for places on the ticket and it was
soon completed after which the con
vention adjourned.

Thomas O'Brien. a clerk in the grocery
store of Charles l.. Glover of Norwalk,
tried to play a practical joke o. his as
s~ociates. and it nearly resulted fatally to
himself. He went to the cellar, fastened
q rope about his neck and over a rafter
and stood on a hogshead. Loud groans
brought the people down stairs, when
O'Brien jumped of the hogshead. He
intended to alight on a soapbox, but ac-
cidentally kicked the box over. and his
body hung free from the rafter. He was
strangling to death when he was cut
down with an ak. His neck is cut by the
rope, and he is considerably injured. but
will recover.-Hartford Courant.
