Very Suspicious Splinter.

Yesterday afternoon a strange man was
noticed sneaking suspiciously into the hay
loft Of Jack Snethan's barn on South avenue.
The police were quietly notified of the fact,
and two officers in citizens clothing drove
down after him. Before they reached there
he slipped out of the barn, and as they caught
up with him on Lower Main street he broke
into a run, and sprinting through the ware
house Of Deere, Wells & Co., he hid himself
in a pile OF cultivator poles, On being un-
loaded the only explanation he would give the
officers was that he was afraid Of being ar
rested, and so made a run. He did not ven-
ture 20 explain how he knew the two were
officers, and shut up his mouth with such
clam~like tenacity that the officers think
they have caught a pearl. He has been about
town for a day or so, and 1t is learned that
at a restaurant he had represented himself
as named Edmundson. The fellow is about
six feet tall. smooth faced. dark complexioned,
and about 80 years Of age. The police want
TO find a hole that fits him.

The heavy rain storm yesterday morning
sent the rotten cedar blocks dancing along
several of the streets. The worst havoc was
created on Vine street, where a great food
Of water, the overflow from South First and
Broadway, filled the thoroughfare from curb
to curb. The half rotted blocks were un-
able to keep their seats, and they arose by
thousands and danced merrily on the sur
face Of the food. Block paving that was laid
on South Seventh street six years ago was
loosened in several places and the blocks
scattered. Some little damage was also done
on Harrison street, and on a number Of other
streets the blocks were loosened around sewer
inlets.
The rain was one Of the heaviest. If not the
heaviest, of the entire season. Some un-
official measurements placed the fall at one
and a half inches. Reports from nearly all
of the western Iowa counties show that the
rain was general.

NEVADA, Mo, Aug, 22.-Mrs. William
Mcclure and James Brown, brother and sis
ter, we're reunited here today after a twenty
years search for one another In 1873, when
each was a mere child, their parents died
and they were taken care of by their grand
Texas, the other remaining in Wisconsin.
Since then the little family has made many
changes of their abode and the sister changed
her name. The two orphans ever since their
first separation continued a ~fruitless search
for each other, and finally each gave the
other up for dead. Today, by the merest
chance they met on the streets here and a
joyous reunion followed.

gress. From what he had learned he had
decided to devote the rest Of his life to the
cause Of the common people.
Mr.. Bryan said that the trouble In the
democratic party was not due to any fault OF
the party. The party was divided because
the men elected by the party had been un-
faithful TO their trust and had betrayed the
hopes OF the people who placed them In
power. He then went into a discussion Of
the progress Of the free silver movement.
He traced the growth Of the sentiment from
the silver conference held by Nebraska
democrats and assured his hearers that the
movement had spread all through the west
the south and that nothing could prevent
the next democratic national convention
from being controlled by the men who are
in favor Of the free and unlimited coinage
of gold and silver at the ratio Of 16 TO l..
He bitterly deprecated the change of heart
in President Cleveland and Secretary Car
isle and charged them with having de-
serted the principles of the democratic party
and Joined the gold bug forces Of the re-
publican party at the dlctation OF the foreign
bond syndlcates. He talked for more than
an hour and closed with a pretty prediction
Of success for the principles that are being
advocated by the friends of free silver all
over the country.
