reported
The Platform.
The Omaha platform oflast year is ap.
proved; and it is the opinion of the
committee that there are but 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"
The platform continues:
Resolved, That we favor tho cleo
ton of president, vice president and
United States senators by direct vote
of the people. We demand that all
trusts and unlawful combinations in
trade be abolished.
1.-THE $3.50, 0o0,O paid as pension
money to the defenders of the govern
ment is an honest remuneration tor
honorable service and a great benefit
to the entire people, and we denounce
the inscriptions attacks made upon
these crippled patriots as a part and
parcel of the monied conspiracy which
demands that no money shall pass from
the government to the people without
passing through the toll gates of the
banks"
Opon the distinctive state issue of
prohibition the platform is in favor of
the present law until it can be sue
ceeded by state or national control.
The platform, which closes with de-
mand for womans' suffrage was adopted
without debate. There were no con-
tests for places on the ticket and it was
soon completed after which the con-
vention adjourned.

Attempted Robbery on the "Frisco~
Road Frustrated.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6.-Another train
has been held up on the st. Louis and
San Francisco road this time with the
unique accompaniment of a captured
robber. Express train No. /, west
bound, was tagged with q red light
few miles east of Pacific. which is about
10 miles west of st. Louis. The train
came to standstill and two men held
the engine crew at bay while a third
went to the express car and demanded
admittance. The messenger refused to
open the door. This refusal was al
most instantly followed by deafening
report and the woodwork of the car
was wrecked. Then the three high
waymen joined forces and tried to
enter the car but were impeded
by the wreckage. At this juncture the
conductor and brakemen rushed up to
the robbers with pistols drawn and
commanded them to surrender. The
robbers answered with a poorly directed
fusilade which the trainmen gave back
with interest. Such unexpected re-
sistance unnerved the robbers and two
of them took to their heels; the third
was overpowed and made prisoner.
So far as known no one was hurt.
When the train pulled into Pacific the
express car presented a sorry sight
Dynamite had torn the woodwork of
the sides and floor, but the messenger
was unframed. A prfuing party is
already in the saddle am: the escape off
the remaining robbers is almost impos-

THE PARADE.
Veterans Turn Out to the Number of
10000.

Veterans Turn Out to the Number of
10000.
The parade of the veterns of the G..
A. Il. encampment was somewhat of
disappointment. Instead of 80, 900 men
in line not over 10000 turned out and
the handling of the different divis-
ions was so bad that there were numer-
Gus delays.
At 1880, the designated hour, the fir
ing of 30 FOUNDER gave the signal that
all was in readiness to move The boys
from Illinois, by virtue of seniority. had
the honor of right of line, following inn
mediately after the chief marshal and
his staff. Following the Illinois divis-
ion came the detachment from the Key
stone state and behind these alarge and
creditable representation of veterans of
Ohio. The once familiar face missed in
this division was that of ex-President
Hayes, who for many years had never
missed the opportunity of marching on
foot with the comrads of his home post.
New York followed the Buckeyes and
what the boys from the Empire state
lacked in numbers they made up by their
bearing and carriage and the brisk way
in which they stepped to the music.
The department of Wisconsin made a
good showing and the Massachusetts
delegation came in for many loud
cheers. Connecticut was sand
wiched in between New York
and Massachusetts and after
the latter, the departments followed
each other in this order: New Jersey,
Maine, California, Rhode Island, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Potomac, Vir-
ginia and North Carolina in one de-
partment; Maryland, Nebraska. Mich
igan, Iowa, Colorado and Wyoming in
another; Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri,
Oregon, Kentucky, West Virginia,
South Dakota, Washington and Alaska
combined; Arkansas. New Mexico,
Utah, Tennessee, Louisiana and Missis-
sippi in one department.; Florida, Mon
tana, Texas, Idaho, Arizona, Alabama,
North Dakota, Indian Territory and
Oklahoma.
The rear of the column was brought
up by the department of Indiana,
which comprised nearly one-half Of the
entire number of veterans in line.
Indiana had promised at Washington
Ito do itself proud If it was given the
national encampment, and it more than
redeemed the pledge.

EARLY USE OF PETROLEUM.
How the Oil Was Discovered by the In
dams In a Pennsylvania Spring.

Hlans III a
In diary kept by one of the survey
ors engaged in the survey of the Hol-
land Land company's purchase at the
very beginning of this century an entry
occurs to the effect that near the head
waters of the Allegheny river, in Penn
sylvania. was spring of water from
which, when conducted into shallow
pools, would collect quantities of oil.
This the Indians collected and used.
For unknown generations, according TO
the American Register. the Indians had
held this spring in high veneration, be-
lieving it was direct gift from the
Great Spirit.
They dried the oil by exposure to the
sun. and made an ointment that they
used in mixing their war paint. as well
as for medical purposes. This ONT
ment was the vaSeline for the present
day in its crude state, for the oil
skinned from the spring was crude pc
trol.um. The oil spring and plot Of
ground one mile square were given to
the Indians as reservation. and is so
held at the present time. being known
as the Oil Spring reservation.
In after years enterprising whites
collected the oil. and twas bottled and
sold. 1t had wide reputation and was
eagerly sought by many, who extolled
its merits III the most eXtravagant
terms Had it not been for the fact the
inouisitive whites found out way to
get petroleum from the earth by send
ing the drill through the rocks. this oil
would doubtless now be a popular med
icine worth one dollar a bottle.

MISPL laced ADVICE.

Speaking of the Leland Osborn libel
suit the Kansas City Star, in its wanted
patIonizing sort of way, says:
A suit in which both these names will
be prominent will be called to very I'M
pleasant resurrection. Friends OF the
parties and more especially friends OF the
state of Kansas should use their efforts to
have the proceedings suppressed. Thus
they may do Kansas good turn. All
good citizens should frown upon libel
suits and all proceedings i'll law or equity
which can open afresh the wounds OF the
past.
All of which sounds philanthroplc,
coming as it does from disinterested
friend O. Nothing would crafty the set OF
Pop slanderers Of which Osborn is IA far
sample more than to have the friends of
Republicans whom they choose to attack
with their vile tongues interfere, IN be-
half of peace and the good name of the
state and prevent retaliation and in some
wav vindicate the good name Of the per-
son attacked, punish the maligner and
thereby restrain that set from pursuing
decent people for personal and partisan
ends, The rather, let Cy Leland prose
cute the suit he has Instituted 10 the
fullest extent, and let every other Re
publican who Is lied upon by any OF
that outfit do likewise, and perhaps they
will learn a lesson after awhile that will
do them good, and at the same time the
good name of the state will be defended.
