SPENDS SUNDAY IN ST. LOUIS.
The Democratic Presidential Nominee
in the Mound City.

Montgomery, Mo-, Sept. 10. On the
train which carried Bryan from Kan
sas City to ST. Louis was a delegation
of prominent democratic officials of
Missouri. Bryan will not go to Salem,
H., today as expected. He will
spend Sunday in St. Louis. Stops
were made at nearly every station
along the route, the crowd varying in
size from 5 to 500 surrounded the car
and shouted enthusiastically for tue
nominee. Twenty-Five minutes was
allotted to Bryan at Moberly to edify
the people as to the silver cause. he
was taken to the public park, where a
stand had been erected About the
platform 5000 people gathered. Bryan
said in part In time of quiet very

party takes charge Of things. But in
times like these TIE people themselves
rise up and if the machine does not DO
what it ought then they have the rem
nants of the machine scattered all over

Is used to advance the principles and
interests of those for whom the party
speaks. You are fortunate in this
state that the machinery has been act
ing in harmony with the people. But
in states where it has not been so. they
are finding that the people are greater
than any machine. They tell us the
silver craze is dying out and that it is
luuacy. II so, lunacy is spreading so
rapidly that by election time there wild
not be enough gold bugs left to furnish
guards in insane asylums for all the
silver lunatics. The converts are

Sturgeon were disappointed as the
train bearing the nominee did not stop
and the only evidence Bryan had of the
intended demonstration was the cheer
ing. Central turned out thousand
of its citizens to hear the Nebraskan,
but his time was taken up by grasping
the hands of the crowd aad the train
pulled out before he could speak. At
Mexico Bryan made a short speech to
the cheering crowd.

A. =. A. MAN HI RI.
Unknown Assailant Uses A. j. Dear
born Roughly.

Kansas City, Sept. ia. j. Dear
born, state president OF the A. p. A.,
was found lying in the street near his
home at 5 o'clock yesterday morning
unconscious from wounds inflicted by
an as yet unknown assailant. Besides
being badly battered about the head,
Dearborn had suffer ed a stab wound.
At 8 o'clock Dearborn regained con-
seriousness long enough to relate the
manner of the attack. 1t appears that
he was assaulted at II o'clock the pre-
vious night as he vas returning home
alone by man who jumped out from a
dark alley and struck him in the fore
head with a blunt instrument. The
blow sent him to the ground when the
assailant, drawing dagger, stabbed
the PROSTATE mar three times in the
region of the heart Then, believing
him to be dead, he threw Dearborn over
the fence into an adjacent yard. Dear
born soon lost consciousness and was
not recovered until early in the morn
ing, after having lain in the wet grass
for six hours.
An examination of his wounds
showed that the dagger stabs were not
serious, but that the blow on the
head might result in concussion of the
brain and prove fatal. Soon after re-
lating the facts as given. Dearborn
lapsed into Inconsistencies without
having given a description of his as.
sailants. The police protested to be-
lieve that the purpose of the attack
was not robbery but was instigated by
some one opposed to the \. P. &. ,
which Dearborn has earnestly adyocat-
ed. None of his money or valuablas
were missing.
