CHICAGO, Aug. 19-Before leaving for
New York tonight, Senator Thurston
accepted as conclusive proof of the
falsity of the charge, the statement
made yesterday by Mr.. Bryan that he
had never been in the employ Of silver
mine owners or silver associations.
Senator Thurston, at Madison, Wis,
recently quoted the charge as origin
ally made in the editorial columns of
the Chicago Chronicle, and called on
Mr.. Bryan to say if the accusation was
true or false. The senator said today:
''Ir. Bryan's word is enough for me,
and shall be glad to say as much to
the people of the country in my next
public address. Mr.. Bryan has denied
the charge. which was made by
Democratic newspaper. and I have no
hesitation in believing him."
AS to Senator Stewart. the Nebraska.

Senator Stewart has arrived at that
stage of political childhood which en-
titles him to great consideration and
sympathy, and 1 don't think any more
need be said on that score"

UPPER RED HOOK, N. Y. Aug. 49,.
New York state is to be partly cam
vassad by w. ]. Bryan before his re-
turn west.
His programme, not yet complete,
may be changed somewhat; but so far
as it has been arranged, it is summed
up in the following statement, dictated
this morning by Mr.. Bryan:
I'VE shall leave Tarrytown at 6:5e
Tuesday afternoon the 18th, reaching
Albany at $50 p. m; leave there at 20
that night; arrive at Syracuse at ZOOS
a. m; stay until noon on Wednesday
reach Rochester about 2:25 p. M; stop
one hour, leaving for Buffalo in time
to reach there at 4:45 p. M; take the
first train to Erie, Pa, arriving there
early in the evening. AT Erie I will
attend a meeting of the state Demo-
cratic clubs ON the 26th. l will return
next morning to Buffalo and remain
the rest of the week in western new
York. 1 will spend Sunday ait Chau-
tauqua and proceed west Wednesday
morning.
kilograms from many places in New
York inviting the young candidate to
make addresses have been received by
Mr.. Bryan, but he is obliged to de-
cline many requests. What Mr. Bryan
will do when in the western part of the
state, he is not yet ready to announce;
but he will do SO within a day or two.
This afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
went to Rhinebeck to visit Ellerlie, the
estate of Governor Morton.
AT RHINEBECK.
| Without expectation or preparation
4 William J. Bryan made a. speech at
! Rhinebeck tonight, in which he touched
on matters of interest in the campaign.
1t was the first political talk Mr.. B1y-
an had given since his notification a
week ago today, with the exception of
few words at Poughkeepsie. At 2
o'clock Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan and Mr..
! and Mrs. Perrine, their hosts, left Up
/ per Red Hook in a covered wagon to
drive over to Ellerslie, Governor Nor
/ toms home. With them went the Misses
Perrine and number of friends in We
hicles and on bicycles. Others joined
them along the road, and the time Ell
( lerslie was reached the procession was
quite formidable.
The route was through Red Hook, or
the lower village, past the estates of
John Jacob Aston, John Armstrong
/ Chanler and other persons of wealth,
and through Rhinecliffe to Governor
/ Morton's stock farm.
Mr. Bryan and his friends inspected
! the stock stable and dairy houses I'M
! der the escort of Governor Mortonis
/ superint endent, who had been instruct
| ed from Albany by the governors pri-
waite secretary, Colonel Ashley w Cole,
/ to show the candidate every attention
/ if he came.
Leaving Ellerslie, Mr.. Bryan and his
party visited the estate of Colonel ia
cob Rupert, the brewer, and then star
ted for Rhinebeck, where they were to
have supper. On the way, Mr.. Bryan
was waylaid by Rev. Mr. Richards
pastor of the Hillside Methodist church
and invited to visit the church fair in
progress in a. tent, which he accepted.
ON THE LOOKOUT.
Rhinebeck people were on the look
out for the Democratic candidate. He
had telephoned to have dinner for him

wife was faithiess.
The woman was removed to her sis
ter's house, and after a couple OF
hours work the attending physicians
We're able to locate the bullet. 1t was
found deeply lodged in the collar bone
rather a delicate place-but the doc
tors believe the conditions are favor
able to recovery. The. bullet was of
44-calibre, which corresponds to the
husbands gun, and disproves his
rambling assertion that she had shot
herself, her gum being a 3S-calibre,
Smith & 1Wesson. While the physicians
were probing for the ball her pistol
was found hidden in her dress. One
chamber was empty, but the shot had
evidently been fired some time ago.
HAD BEEN DRINKING.
Peironnet was taken to the police
station and afterwards locked up. He
was seen n his cell by the reporters,
but refused point blank to talk, re-
ferring them to his wife. He appeared
to be under the influence Of liquor,
and it is more than probable he shot
his wife in a drunken rage.
Mrs. Peironnet is a handsome woman,
about so years of age. In spite of her
suffering she maintained good spirits
and even joked with the reporters. She
is rather inclined TO shield her nus
band, although she frankly says he is
a brute.

It was due almost solely to the act.
ivity Of Mr.. Chiids that the interpreta-
ton of the constitutional prohibition
against the holding of state Office by
any member of the legislature was
brought before the supreme court,
and precedent was established
which, it is universally admitted, will
accomplish one of the greatest and
most needed reforms Of the present
day.
Other cases which were tried were
followed up by Mr.. Childs with such
distinguished ability as to evoke APP
plause from the whole Northwest,
were his handling Of the Holden MUIR
der case; the Great Northern Northern
Pacific consolidation case and that in
which the city of Duluth is now a
party. Though ne has served two
terms, and though several of the
ablest and most distinguished lawyers
of the state were candidates for the
nomination in the state convention.
Mr.. Childs was nominated by an
easy majority, and so general was the
belief that he would be elected that,
had he chosen to go out of his way
for the purpose, the Democrats of the
state would have given him their en-
dorsement. He did not want it. for
the reason that he is consistent and
conscientious Republican, who has
done his whole duty by the people, who
elected him, and he felt confident Of
the result when it was placed in the
hands of the people whom he had
served.

HENRY w. CHILDS.
Republican Candidate for Attorney
General.

Republican Candidate for Attorney
General.
The Republican candidate for attor-
new general was born in Onandaga
county, New York, in 1S4S, was educat-
ed primarily in the public schools of
that county and finished his education
in a course at the seminary Of the
central conference of New York, sub
sequently taking UP the study of law
while engaged in educational work as
teacher in one of the high schools
of that section. He opened an office
and practiced law in the city of SYRIA
cuse until 1888, when he removed to
Minnesota and here resumed his pro-
fessional work in Fergus Falls, Otter
Tail county. In 1887 he was chosen
as the assistant of Attorney General
Clapp, and held that position during
the six years of his ncumbency of the
office. In 1892 and 1894 Mr.. Childs
ran as the Republican candidate for
attorney general, and in each case was
elected by majority which was a
fattering testimonial to the esteem in
which he was held by the party and the
people of the state at large.
While acting as the assistant of Gen.
Clapp Mr.. Childs displayed great abil-
ity in the handling of the difficult cases
which were intrusted to him, and some
of the hardest fought cases which ever

Gov. Clough had chosen from among
the fair maidens Of the neighbOrhood

he led gentle Addie Barton to the altar

Drifted Into Politics.
The question has often been asked,
how did Dave Clough, hard-headed
practical man Of business, come to
drift into politics? The true answer
has never. to the knowledge of the
writer, been given. About ten years
ago, that is to say in 1885, there was

the rollway, are worked by horses on
the shore and start is thus made
toward moving the great body of logs
from it's bearings. But 1t is essential
that a few men, ready with cant-hOOk

that the key logs may be set in motion.
All this time the volume Of water above

against the obstruction to force it's

great eXertiOn of man and beast, an

boil and roar like tempest. 1t is no
uncommon occurrence to see logs two
or three feet in diameter broken and
shivered by the pressure above. and as
the great mass begins to totter and

in existence to show the number of
