speaker he should pretend TO have a
tit so that during the excitement
created the speaker should have time
TO recover The night came. The
young speaker began 70 stammer.
The ''cbum," sitting In the second
row OF the audience, started twitch-
ing OF face and Jerking OF muscles
that was very good Imitation OF a
man about 10 fall In a 1T. But IL
happened that next TO the pretended
sick man sat doctor. He at once
began an examination, and within
two minutes, rising angrily TO his
feet, he said 10 the curious crowd,
"Gentleman. tn s man - no more III
than you are. His illness Is wholly
pretended. and doubtless Is simulated
for the press purpose OF preventing
our bright young friend"-pointing
10 the man on the platform from
finishing his speech" The crowd be-
came angry. They pounded the
"sick man, tore his clothes, and
threw him down two flights OF stairs

Nielsen Killed and Robbed ITS Employer
and Was on His Way Beck TO Denmark.
Christian Peter. q well-to-do farmer In Hur-
ley. s. D.. was found murdered in his bed on
the morning OF Jan. 4. He had been killed
with an axe. Niels Madsen Nielsen, a Danish
farm hand whom Petor had employed less
than a month before. had disappeared. and
800 Of Peters money which he was accus-
toned to hide under his pillow at night was
missing also.
Sheriff Zeb Stout OF Hurley found proof that
Nielsen had murdered and robbed Peter and
had fed to Chicago intending to go to New York
and take steamer for Denmark. He tele-
grnphed on Monday to Inspector Mclaughlin
to catch the fugitive, and on Tuesday sent O
second despatch giving minute description
OF the murderer. together with the number OF
OF the watch he had bought in Chicago after
he had purchased HE steamship ticket. In
spector Mclaughlin hurried his men to the
New York Central and Pennsylvania railroad
stations to intercept Nielsen.
Detective Sergeants Valley and McManus
picked him out instantly when he stepped
from West Shore train In Weehawken yes
terday morning. He was bundled In an enor-
nous buffalo skin robe. The detectives crossed
the river with him without making known
their Identity. but Just as he stepped nshore at
Nielsen. who is a stolid man Of "a and Of dow
Intelligence, betrayed no surprise In broken
offence. At Police Headquarters Inspector
McLaughlin found in his possession tho watch
described in the despatch, toGether with bill
OF exchange on q Denmark bank for S4OO and
S67 In American m money and a steamship ticket
on the White Star line made out in Nelsen's
name.
After Nielsen had been locked up a short
time he sent word to Inspector Mclaughlin
that he would like to SEQ him, and later
through an Interpreter he made u full confess
sion OF the murder. He seemed wholly un-
conscious Of the character Of his act, and said
coolly that he was prompted to it by seeing
Farmer Peter count oyer his roll OF money on
the night OF Jan. 3 He was seized with de-
sire To possess the money. and stole into the
farmers room. armed with an axe. Just before
daybreak; Peter awoke, but did not see the
axe. Nielsen ran up to the bed and killed him.
Then he took the waistcoat that Peter had
hidden beneath his pillow. rihed 1t. and fed to
Chicago.
Inspector Mclaughlin telegraphed the news
Of the capture to Sheriff Stout. and will hold
sltion.

upon tho party to move on In the work" He
said protection was 4" a robbery and a fraud"
These tariff planks were adopted by the Con-
vention:
Every confederation OF political honor. fldel-
fly. and expedIency demands that the pledges
upon which that victory was won shall be faith
and fully fully kept and that the Dem ocratic
Congress shall revise the tariff By promptly
passing tho Wilson bill reported by the Ways
and Means Committee. to the end that the
raw materials necessary TO American indus
tries shall be admitted free OF duty: that tnrlff
taxes shall be lowered on the necessaries OF
lifa and that i'm port duties shall be distributed
with view OF tightening the burdens OF the
many Instead OF protecting the interests OF tho
favored few.
"A speedy and thorough revision OF the
tarif, on the lines of Democratic policy enunci-
ated by the last Dem ocratic National Conven-
tion and adopted by tho Democratic President
manufacturer. enhance the profits Of the
American farmer. increase the wages OF the
American mechanic and enlarge their pur-
chasing power. stimulate our export trade. and
