HIS PROGRESS IN TRIUMPH.
One Continuous Ovation From
Auburn to PlaCerVille.
HEARTY GREETING ON THE WAY.
Republicans Rally in Great Force to
Greet the State Standard.
Bearer.

PLACERvrLLE, Oct 1S.-Placerville is
afire with enthusiasm Tonight. Morris
NJ. Estee is in town. The Republican
nominee for Governor arrived this evening
from Auburn via Sacramento and Folsom.
From The latter place his trip was per-
feet ovation. and nothing like it has ever
ever been seen in this part of the country.
AT Folsom the EStee Club and several
hundred other enthusiastic Republicans
got abUard with the Newcastle brass
band. which has travelled across country
from Auburn to celebrate the standard
bearers visit to Placerville.
This crowd filled every seat in the cars,
Latrobe another hundred or so clambered
upon the trumphal train.
At the town of Ell Dorado there were
more to follow. and at Diamond Springs
still another crowd fought their way on to
the platforms and clung to car steps.
Thus crowded to its very utmost capacity
the train pulled into PiacervIie, where an
immense throng of people and more brass
bands awaited its arrival. The local
assemblage, augmented by the visitors
formed by far the largest concourse of
people ever seen in this county, and the
crowd was as big in enthusiasm as in
numbers.
A continuous thunder of cheering rent
the air and the man from Napa must have
INDUCED in something like self-congratu-
la,on when he looked out upon that
strong, practical illustration of his popu-
larity. Though he attempted several times
10 address the multitude his voice was
drowned in the tumultuous clam0r.
The committee finally, at the imminent
peril of life and limb, got Mr. Estee into a
hack and a few minutes later landed him
at the Ohio House. where splendid quar-
ters had been prepared for his occupancy.
This evening the Republican standard
bearer addressed the largest audience
ever assembled in this town. Notwith-
standing the weather was inclement and
threatening another downpour at any min-
ute, the big hall was crowded to the doors.
Mr.. Estee was listened to with rapt at
tention to the end. In his address, which
was frequently Interrupted by applause,
the tariff, silver and other State and ma
tonal questions were presented in an in
teresting manner. The peculiar ideas OF
the Populists were portrayed in such style
as TO cause much merriment.
Lee Fairchild followed with a speech
sparkling with wilt. and at the conclusion
OF the meeting the crowds moved again to
the Ohio House, where a reception was
held.

BRYAN'S TICKET WINS
Cold Comfort for the Cleveland
Faction.
The Nebraska Court Decides That
Its Candidates Cannot Go on
the Ballot.

OMAHA, Oct 1S.-A special to the Bee
from lincoln, Nebr., says: The last hope
of the admins tratiOn Democrats to secure
recognition for the candidates nominated
by the State convention, which boted the
regular convention, was destroyed to-
night by the Supreme Court deciding that
the fusion or Bryan ticket shall be desig-
mated as Democratic on the official ballot.
The question came up on rettion as to
the power of the Secretary of State with
respect to certificates of nomination under
the provisions of the ballot law. The cour
was also asked to pass on the question /:
"Dops the law authorize the printing on
the official ballot of the names of cand-
dates nominated by different parties or by
petition ?"
Answering the first question, the courI
said that the power of the Secretary, when
objection Is made to any certificate flied
with him to determine from extrinsic evil
dence whether or not such certificate is
fraudulent and whether the nomination
therein certified was made by a conven-
tion or assem- blage of voters in good faith,
claiming to represent party which cast
the requisite number of votes at the last
election, is plainly implied from the State
law.
Answering the second question, the
court declared that the ballot law evil

candidate shall appear but once on the
official ballot followed by such political
designations as correspond with the nomi-
nation papers. on file with the officer
charged with the duty of printing and dis
frihutinp them Ii follows that thera il
no authority for the printing of names
thereon more than once.
The decision as to the last question is a
victory for the alleged boilers, since 1t
was intended TO have the names of the
fusion candidates printed twice on the
ticket. as Populists and Democrats.

BUTTER AND ALCOHOL
Contain the Only Secret of
Perpetual Life.
A Convict's Discovery Which He
Will Reveal Upon Securing
His Liberty.

New YORK. Oct. 1S,-Homer Best, a con-
vict IN the prison at Dannemora. Clinton
County, n. Y, claims to have the secret OF
perpe ual life and wants to have his for
mula tested, on the condition that if it is
successful ne shall be given his freedom.
His cause will be taken up by Charles
Brady, who was released from the prison
on Thursday. Best, he says. is sn lntelll-
gent colored man, about 3S years old, who
was sentenced in a Brooklyn court to serve
twenty years for burglary. His term will
expire In 1902, and for his liberty now.
Brady says, Best is willing to offer man
kinds greatest boon.
His proposition is that he be taken from
prison on habeas corpus proceedings and
that he meet a committee OF doctors and
scientists before Judge. the latter to de-
eide the merits of his claim. Brady says
Bests principal ingredient In the elixir of
life is alcohol. A part of his treatment is
TO give the candidate for perpetual life an
ounce of butter and follow this with a
quantity OF alcohol. Bests theory is that
the alcohol will sink below the butter and
thus the patients brain will be protec ted
from the fumes and he will not ''get Jag
on"
Unfortunately for the locked-up Ponce de
Leon, he cannot get the alcohol In prison
to make test of his theory. Brady says
Best has made this proposition to the
warden repeatedly, but has always been
laughed at. He also offered, after an ex-
ecution by electricity to restore the vict m
to life, but the State authorities would not
take the chances of having to iufiet CAPT.
tai punishment twice on the same subject.
Brady says Best is we'll educated, INTEL
ligent and popular with convicts and keep
ers. He says he has been thirteen years
Derfecting his formula, and asserts that il
will sustain lie as long as it is used. He
will not, however. give up the secret IN I'll
released. Best's grandm other lived to be
105. and he expects to live always If he
can get the required alcohol.

BERLIN, Oct 18.-The ceremony of ded-
icating 132 flags destined for the four re-
Gently organized battalions of infantry
regiments was performed in the presence
of Emperor William to-day in front OF
Frederick the Greats statue on Unter den
Linden.
The famous "Emperor's weather"
failed to prevail, and during the ceremony
the first snow of the season In Berlin. ac-
conpanied by a drilling rain, began to
fall. Notwithstanding the inclement
weather immense crowds were On the
streets. Thousands of strangers were In
the crowds, and it was remarked that they
appauded louder and more frequently
than the residents of the city. Stands had
been erected opposite the monument, and
these were crowded with members of the
arstocracy, diplomats and officers. among
the latter being numerous generals. The
Emperor was the picture of health, but he
was suffering from a slight hoarseness
and his voice could not be heard twenty
yards away.
Emperor William was on horseback
throughout the ceremony. He wore the
uniform of the infantry guard and gray
Hohenzolern hat Of the colors his Majesty
said These colors here brought together
are intended for full detachment Of troops.

are to-day sent will soon take their stand
as full battalions Of the Army of the

reigned among the people To-day too many
things are wrongly understood. To-day
again the army is ever the only firm pillar.
Therefore we must stand by it: stand by
it ever in fidelity to the Emperor and the
empire"
The Emperor offered a cordial toast to
the army, referring to the special signif-
cance of the day. His Majesty then con-
ferred the decorations of the Order of the

something infinitely more valuable to me
than gold-health, and l thank God
brought back with me no English gold, but
a restored health, enabling me to make
this visit to the mountains and valleys of

On the subject of his London dinner, Mr..
Wilson said the story had been eagerly
disseminated by the Republican press, but
that press had ignored the fact that he
had dined three times in London with the
Irish leaders of the House of Commons.

MINERS ATTACKED.
Shot Down From Ambush on Their
Way to Work.

ASHLAND. KY, Oct. 1S.-Further re-
ports come in tonight of the bloody at
tack upon defenseless miners at the mines
of the Straight Creek Coal Company in
Carbon County by strikers this morning.
The men were ambushed while en- route
to their work, and seven are reported to
have been hit by bullets from Winchesters.
Jack Marcum is fatally injured and John
Morrison dangerously wounded. The
others are not seriously injured. An at.
tempt by the company to work non-union
laborers in opposition to the demands OF
the union mine-workers is the cause OF
the trouble and more is feared.
