ABDUCTED By DETECTIVES.
an Alderman of an Illinois T0tcn Held
q CaDtivc.

Captive.
CHICAGO, ILL, Aug %. - Oscar w.
Boughman, an Alderman of Lewiston, ILL.,,
was abducted by two professional detec-
tives from an agency conducted by John
f. Farley, Sunday morning, and up to the
present time he has been kept carefully
secreted. The officers making the arrest
decoyed him here with bogus letter and
when they seized him, under the pretext
OF arrest, charged that he was wanted in
Fulton County for the burning of the
Courthouse there year ago.
For more than fifty years Lewiston and
Canton have been fighting for the county
seat, and up to the present the first-named
town has been successful. A year ago the
Courthouse was burned and the watchman
on the premises was discharged from the
service. Later he was locked up in Canton
for some minor offense, and promised, on
condition that he be given his freedom, to
furnish evidence that Boughman and
other prominent Lewistonians caused the
destruction of the Courthouse. Then the
matter was dropped until Sunday, when
Boughman was arrested here. The detec-
tive bureau claims that he has been taken
to Lewiston.

NEBRASKA POPULISTs.
Samuel III. Ma1sUeU Nominated for Asso-
ci0te Justice.

LINCOLN, NEBR., Aug. 2S.-With no
well-defined opinion among the delegates
as to the probable standard bearer of the
party in the approaching campaign, the
Populist State convention for the nomina-
ton OF an Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court and two Regents of the university
was convened shortly after o'clock this
afternoon. Nearly every county was
represented, and, with liberal attendance
of outsiders, together with a nearly COM
plete representation of the 1888 delegates,
the small hall was crowded.
Chairman Edmiston of the State Central
Committee called the convention to order.
His address was brief as was that of E. L..
Heath OF Dawes County, who succeeded
him as temporary chairman. A committee
on credentials was appointed, and, pend
ing its report, speeches were made by ex-
Senator Van Wyck and ex-Congressman
McKeighan.
The latter struck the first note of dis
cord. He deplored what he thought a
tendency on the part of persons high in
the party ranks toward utilization with the
free-silver Democrats. He advocated a
straight middle of the road" course, and
called on the convention to maintain
Populist principles. While no names
were mentioned, it was generally under
stood that his criticism was aimed at
Governor Holcomb and Senator Allen. He
was literally applauded.
Governor Holcomb followed McKeighan,
paying no attention to the apparent criti-
cism, but congratulating the party on
its onward march and recent victories.
Senator Allen followed in the same vein.
Following the report of the credential
COMMITTEES, permanent organization was
effected by the election of Senator Allen as
chairman, and after the appointment of
committees an adjournment was taken
until P. M. There was delay in re-
assembling, awaiting the report of the
platform committee, which was presented
shortly after 10 o'clock and adopted with
out protest, save for It's brevity. Itsays:
We. as the Peoples party of the State of Ne
Draska, In convention assembled. do put forth
the following platform of principles:
We hereby reaffirm the principles of the
Omaha platform. We declare ourselves in
favor OF strict economy in conducting the
affairs of the State Government in all its
branches. We believe the judicial affairs of

Hon. W. j. Bryan Prophesies Bright
Failure for SiIcer.
DENVER, CoLo., Aug. 2S.-Hon. W. j.
Bryan, editor of the Omaha World Herald,
addressed 5000 people at the Coliseum here
tonight upon bimetallism. He said:
The American people are preparing to vigor-
ously assert themselves in the coming National
election. Bimetallism has grown, not because
OF an expected benefit to the miner, but be-
cause the sufferings OF humanity are involved
in the question Free coinage of gold and silver
at ratio OF 10 to l has become the question of
the hour and has alarmed the advocates of the
gold standard. 1t is demanded because prop
ertyin recent years has aterially lessened in
value while debts have.grown large. Nothing
but independent bimetallism by this Govern
ment. irrespective of European nations, can
remedy the growing evil. This is the first time
the American people have been given an OPP
portunity to decide such an important ques-
ton, and when they are tested at the coming
election they will be found loyal to themselves.

SOME POINTERS.
Prof SamuelS interviewed by a Be-
porter.
Tells of His Remedies and Some Re-
markabIe Cures He. Has Made
With Them.

The public is much interested in the
remarkable cures which are being per-
formed every day in this city by Prof.
Samuels. His testimonials are not from
people far away who probably never ex-
listed. as are 80 many which we read, but
are from people right at home, whom
we can see any day and have the state
ments verified.
The professor informs us that he work
ed many years in perfecting the RENE
dies which he is now using with such
brilliant and satisfactory results. His
great object was to discover something
which. being placed in the eye, would
relieve pain in any part of the body. In
this he has been so successful that he
can cure a large number of diseases and
relieve many moro sufferes, simply by
treating the eyes. He claims that in
every case of disease there is a certain
germ that is constantly destroying the
vitality and that his eye treatment Will
destroy these entirely. His preparation
is mild enough to do no harm, but is GER
tainly germ killer.
Kidney trouble is one of the diseases
most susceptible to his eye treatment
Weak lungs, commonly called consump-
ton, is also easily reached and much
benefited by his treatment. A case of
kidney trouble recently cured is that of
Mr.. Jeltz, editor of the Topeka Ledger.
After treating with Prof. Samuels three
days he was much benefited and in six
weeks was entirely cured. Since he be-
gan the treatment he has gained twenty
| pounds in weight.
Another case recently cured is that OF
J. N. Harvey, who was interested in the
Phillips cure. Mr.. Harvey had been 8
constant sufferer with his side and head
| md oil Ginoa :
with Prof. Samuels his pains are all
gone and his hearing is almost restored
This eye preparation will always restore
hearing provided the drum of the eal
has not been injured.
In fact, his remedy will cure almos
any disease and make all who use i
feel stonger and more healthy. b.
killing the germs of the disease it leaves
the body in its normal condition.

WHY THEY WANT GOLD.

It has been said that the northeast
owns. or controls, if not the whole coun-
try, at least about all there is in it worth
having; and we may appeal to undeni-
able official statistics in support of the
assertion. In the first place, it owns the
bulk of the money and money items,
classed in the comptroller of the currsn-
cy's report as bank capital, surplus, I'M
divided profits and individual deposits.
The aggregate of these for the whole
country as given in the comptroller's re-
port. in 1898, was $6,412,9 39.954, and of
this sum, $4,016, ,053 was in the nine
northeastern states. The population of
these states is 18,47O,0OO, or less than
one third of the population of the
whole country. Nevertheless, this one
third of the population own nearly two
thirds of the country's aggregate of
money and money items of wealth.
Is it any wonder then that owning
two-thirds of the money, and securities
payable in money, they should favor
gold dollar. The scarcer they can
become; the more valuable they become
the more OF the products of labor they
will buy. All the silver in the treasury
has been eliminated from the money
volume of the country and the next move
is to get rid of the greenbacks.
The disproportion between these states
and the rest of the country becomes more
striking when examined in detail in the
savings banks statistics The comp
troller's report shows that the aggregate
of deposits in all savings banks in the
country in 1898 was $1,785, $50, 957-and
of this sum $1,48O,916,O57 or over four
ffths, was In the nine northeastern
states, and only 1904, 233, 900, or less than
fifth, in all the other states. The
whole number of savings banks deposi
tors in the country was 4,630,59 and OF
this number 4,070, 1877, or more than FIVE
sixths, were in the northeastern states
and only 760,452, or less than one-sixth
in all the rest of the country.
Thirteen states, Idaho, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska,
Nevada, Michigan, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Virginia, Washington and Wy
oming have no savings banks, and
therefore, are not included in the list.
10 the solution of the currency prob
lem it is therefore the interests of 81
states against those of nine states, with
the advantage in favor of the nine, that
they would not be in any way injured
by doing justice to the remainder of tbs
country.

The demand made for the removal
of Dr. NJ. r Mitchell from the office of
city physician is premature. He has
been found guilty of no crime or INSIDE
meanor. No man should be removed
from an Office in disgrace merely on q
charge not proven. It is reported that
when Mayor Fellows was asked to dis
charge the city physician, he said: "If
DR.. Mitchell is found guilty by the
courts of participating in grave robbing,
we will then have the power to remove
him. At present there are no grounds
for removal"
These are brave words aud do credit to
the mayor. While the STATE JOURNAL
has opposed DR.. Mitchell in his conduct
of the city physician's office, and does
not believe he is a suitable man for that
place, it protests against his removal on a
charge which has not been proven and
which would disgrace him and injure his
business and reputation. The JOURNAL
believes in the utmost fairness toward
all men.

THE arrangement suggested by the
national Republican committee for hav-
ing delegates elected by congressional
districts aud in congressional district
conventions carries with it decided ad-
vantage to Mr.. Reeds presidential aspir-
atoms. There are perhaps very few of
the Republican members of the present
congress who will not be a candidate for
a denomination and reelection. A very
large majority of them will doubtless be
able to SO control the politics of their
several districts as to secure the coveted
endorsement of a denomination. All
these Republican congressman will be
placed under obligations to Speaker
Reed by being given good places on
committees. They will naturally have
friendly feeling for the presiding off
Ger of the house and If they can secure
a denomination for Themselves, they can
just as easily secure the election of dele
gates from their respective districts who
will be favorable to Mr.. Reed when the
convention assemblies: It is not unlike
ly that in this way enough delegates
friendly to the Maine man can be elect
ed in each Republican state to overcome
the votes of those elected by the state at
large if there should happen to be ad
verse to the presidential ambition Of the
speaker.

THE Democrats started out to capture
the markets of the world by reforming
the tariff, and instead of capturing them
they have lost large percentage of
the markets already possessed by SO
cheapening silver that those who
formerly bought agricultural and manu-
featured products now buy silver from
us instead, which they can exchange at
double its cost for the products of silver
using countries. They are not only sup
plying themselves from these silver
using countries but they are invading
our own home markets and selling US
for gold the merchandise purchased with
our own silver which we have let them
have at fifty cents on the dollar. The
president seems to feel that silver has
something to do with the fact that things
have not gone according to calculation,
but in trying to explain it he got the
vehicle in front of the motive. power.
