Folster Was Innocent.

]. F. Folster, the proprietor of a shooting
gallery, who was charged with passing coun-
terfeit money on his customers by persons
who it developed, had been formerly employed
by him, was taken before United States Com
missioner Heacock yesterday. Commissioner
Heacock discharged him because there was no
evidence to convict. 1t appeared that the
complaining witnesses had probably been
prompted by motives of spite in trump1ng up
the charge. Folster is familiarly known by
the nickname of minnesota Harry"

Big Telephone War On.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. IA big tele-
phone war is raging in Kansas 1t is
between the tremendous Bell telephone
trust, known out here as the Missouri
and Kansas telephone company, and
the Harrison Industrial telephone
company. The battlefeIds are princi-
pally Topeka, Leavenworth, Wichita
and Salina. The bubbling cau1dron of
war has even run over into st. Joseph
and Carthage in Missouri. In Kan
sas City there is a hint in the air that
some of it will come this way. In
Wichita the Missouri and Kansas com
pany has just offered telephone service
at $40 for residence and $50 for bust
ness houses for year. In Salina tele-
phone service is said to be given away.

Lloyd Garrison of Boston, who made
the address of the day, deplored the
growing military spirit of the nation
and made exhaustive arguments for
free trade and the single tax, which
he regarded as remedies for many
great ills. Free trade, he said, was

CLEVELAND ROOTED.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 23.-If an effort
was made to conciliate any warning
elements in the ranks of Nebraska
the state Democratic convention yes
terday. Prior to the session there was
some talk about the silver and gold
wings of the party combining, but, if
such a plan was seriously contem-
plated, it was early abandoned. From
o'clock, when Chairman Smith con-
vened the body, until IL o'clock last
night when the curtain went down
silver was the only apparent financial
problem before the convention. But
it was essentially a convention of the
advocates of the white metal in the
party and the other wing ignored the
mutiny entirely and will convene at
Lincoln Septemb Der 5.
Edgar Howard was made permanent
chairman without opposition, and the
following nominations were made by
accla nation.

speeches of minor Importance bub-
bling over with silver sentiment and
opposition to the A. P. A. the commit
tee reported the resolutions, of which
the final plank is as follows.
We declare ourselves in favor of the
immediate restoration of the free and
unlimited coinage of gold and silver at
the present legal ratio of IS to l, as
such coinage existed prior to 1878,
without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation, such other gold and
silver coin to be full legal tender for
all debts 7blic and nrivate
We send greeting to our Democratic
brethren throughout the union, who
are making such gallant fight for the
restoration of bimetallism, and con-
graduate them upon the progress
made.
The Democracy of Nebraska APP
proves and commends the declaration
of President Cleveland in the past in
cOndemning the pernicious activity of
incumbents of federal offices under the
government in attempting to control
the policy and nominations of their
parties, and we hereby recommend the
renewal of the policy of his first adj

A delegate attempted to place the
following before the convention as the
minority report: We commend the
administration of President Cleveland
as being able, patriotic and honest and
reaffirm the platform adopted by the
| Democratic national convention at
Chicago in 1892.
Scarcely had the first word been ut-
tered when the whole convention was

that order was not established for ten
minutes, when the offending resolu-

Why He saved Him.

There was an old negro floating in a
skiff on the headwaters of the Licking.
He was fishing-ish mighty fine down
that way. He had boy in the boat with
him who kept looking into the water until
he lost his balance and disappeared in the
water. Quicker than 1 could tell you the
old man had his coat off and dived for the
boy. He brought him up all right, then
rowed for the bank. When they got out,
dripping, of course a white man who had
seen the whole business co1nplimented the
Dld man on his heroic act.
''He must be son of yours said the
white man.
NO; no, sab. No son O. mine.''
Nephew, then?''
"No; no, sab. No nephew"
"Cousin?''
"No; no cousin

PATCHEN WON.
Defeats John r. Gentry in
Straight Heats.
Time Was Slow on Account Of
High Wind.
RESULT A SURPRISE.
Gentry the Favorite Though in
Bad Condition.
RESULT A SURPRISE.

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-Joe Patchen yes
terday won the great match race
against John r. Gentry in straight
heats. The race took place on the
famous Washington park track, but
rs a wind that amounted almost to q
gale blew all afternoon, a sensational
time performance was out of the ques-
ton. The three heats were covered in
e;O5A, 2:073z and 2:O711.
Nevertheless the contest is regarded
as one of the most important that has
taken place on the trotting or pacing
turf. Patchen's victory was decisive
and seems to put his claim to first
place among harness racers beyond dis
pute. Twelve thousand people saw
the race, and the fact that betting was
prohibited did not deter the crowd
from showing a degree of enthusiasm
that is seldom witnessed at a race
course.
Gentry was undoubtedly slight
favorate in the public well-wishes, but
Patchen was cheered just the same.
In what little betting there was out
side of the track Gentry also ruled a
favOrite at about 10 to 9.
The only explanation offered after
the race was by Driver McHenry and
Owner Scott, and was that the horse
was not in condition. 1--WE made
mistake they said, Sin not sending
him to Cleveland after the Freeport
race. The other horse was on edge;
ours was not
Colonel Taylor, owner of Patchen,
said: II knew that my horse could
beat him any part of it from 100 yards
to a mile. Had the race been on the
Terre Haute track, with no wind, the
6rst heat would have been in less than
two minutes
Both horses, will go to Fleetwood
park to race next week. An attempt
IS being made to get a match between
Joe Patchen and Fidel here on Satur-
day. If this is not done, Patchen may
go against time.

he became acquainted with James E.
Stewart, the author Of Jenny, the

talent for song writing, although he
could not read or write music, and
Stewart, before he died a drunkard in

Quay has issued the following state
ment:
The leaders of the combination
against me have given up all hope of
defeating me, except by means of the
direct bribery of fifteen or twenty of
the delegates who have hitherto been
favorable to me. To plish this
result agents of the com bine will be
sent to almost every county in the
state. These people will tempt the
men who have been elected delegates
with large sums of money. I hope ny
friends will be on their gnard and will
promptly take measures to make pub
lie the efforts of the com bine bribers
and will speedily bring them to just
ice. Without such desperate methods
it is impossible for me to lose control
