Francisco People.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. l9.--Mattie Over-
man, who figured SO conspicuously in the
Brown Scandal, has made q confession in
which she declares that DIR. Brown is
all his enemies represented him to be.
This startling admission of Miss Over

after Rev. DIR. Brown has taken up new
home In a new field has reopened the en-
been fully considered by the ministers
and laymen that formed the trial court.
Mrs. TuDnell has gone before the men,
bers of the ecclesiastical court and COR
roborated all that Miss Overman con-
fessed. The members of the council
listened to the startling story, but as q
council they could do nothing. Miss
Overman's confession was placed in the
custody OF the secretary OF the Bay con-
ference. A resolution asking the Bay con-
ference to take action In the matter was
adopted by unanimous vote. The Bay
conference will therefore meet without

A FEARFUL FALL
Ryan Dropped 1900 Feet
in Shaft of a Mine.
He Lost His Life as Did Two
Miners at the Bottom.
They Were Struck by Falling Cage
and Crushed TO Death.

BUTTE. Mont, Aug. 10. Peter Ryan,
foreman of the ST. Lawrence mine, the
property of the Anaconda Company, and
Jack Campbell and John Manning, two
miners, were killed last evening by fall
OF the cage from the top of the mine TO
the bottom OF the shaft at the 12O0-foot
level. The two miners were working at
the bottom beneath the bulkhead at the
1200-foot level, deepening the shaft,
when the cage containing Ryan fell from
the top, instantly crushing the life out OF
the two men below and also killing
Ryan.
Ryan had gone to the top and was
about to step out OF the cage. The brake
refused to work and the cage started
down the shaft with fearful velocity. The
engineer tried to throw on the clutch,
bur could not. The safety appliance
also refused to work and the engineer
and brakeman jumped out OF the window
in time TO avoid the crash Of iron ana
wood as the reel broke to pieces and tons
of iron were shot through roof and walls.

tiatiops, that of including the settled
portions of the disputed tract In the

enjoining him not further to interfere
with interstate commerce, and when
he defed the injunction locked him
up for contempt of court.
And now a Democratic National
convention denounces such useofforce
by the government as ga crime against
free institutions" and especially OBJ
jects to the issuing of that injunction
as ga highly dangerous form Of OPP
preston" And William j. Bryan
"unquali6edly indorses" that denun-
citation and that objection. And yet
he says, with his best cocksure grand
iloquence: "The right of the United
States Government to regulate in

toned, and the necessity for the
vigorous exercise of that right is

As to Interstate Commerce.

''The right of the United States
Government to regulate interstate
commerce cannot" says Mr.. Bryan,
be questioned, and the necessity for
the vigorous exercises of that right
is becoming more and more impera-
tive"
Yes. A little more than two years
ago young man named Debs under
took to question that right. Backed
up by an Anarchist pardoning Cover
nor named Altgeld, he violently and
riotously denied that right to the
Federal Government and claimed it
for himself. When the Government
attempted "the vigorous exercise Of
that right" he raved against Federal
encroachments" and organized some
thing very much like an insurrection.
The Federal Government sent some
troops to vindicate its fright to regu-
late interstate commerce., and had
an injunction issued against Debs,

posts of Canton. Ohio, the home of

by Commander Hiram Doll, and in
reply he says:
We have polled SIS old soldiers.
Of these So are Democrats or Popu-
lists, and 495 are Republicans. This
you will notice is quite different from
80 to 4 in favor of Bryan, as stated in
the article about which you write.

bition and National Prohibition. The

not be thing of transcendent Joy or

A Political Trick.

It is we'll known that the Populists
and Democrats agreed upon an ap-
parently satisfactory fusion plan in
Kansas Democrats named the
Presidential electors and the Popu
lists the State ticket. This agree
ment was "signed, sealed and deliver
ed" at Abilene. The presidential
electors named are all Democrats and
the agreement was that they should
vote for Bryan and Sewall should
they be elected.
The nomination papers of these
electors were not fled with the Score
tary of State until Saturday last, and
in fling the ticket Chairman Brieden
thai submitted it as the "Bryan and
WATSON electoral ticket, and the of
fcers Eof Abilene convention certify
that they were so nominated in the
Populist convention. But these same
electors were named at the Demo
cratic convention at Hutchinson as
Bryan and SEwALL electors.
The purpose of this movement is
probably to thwart the middle Of the
road Populist scheme, which is to put
up Bryan and Watson electors. The
action of Briedenthal, however may
be considered irregular and seeming
" intended to deceive voters, and in
it's review the State Board of Election
may return these nomination papers
for correction.
The Pops are up to all sorts of
tricks, but we apprehend this move
ment will not check the straightouts.
AS filed and appended after each
Democratic elector, appears the
words ''of the Peoples party"

Our popocratic friends seeking re-
lief from an attack of Vermont and
Maine, try to smile and take Arkan-
sas as an antidote. "Why don't you
talk about Arkansas" they say.
In the first place the Popocrats
can't get much comfort out of Arkan-
sas. The Populist vote in Arkansas
in 1892 was 31,117; in 1894 it was
M,541; in 1896 it is less than Il, 1000.
So much for the Pops.
The Democratic vote is $500.
Four years ago it was COILS. Let
the Democrats think of that.
The Republican vote, which four
years ago was "a ,541, two years ago
81, GA, is this year 34,139.
In other words, the Republican
party is tie only one which showed a
gain in Arkansas.
Four years ago the Democratic
Populist vote in Arkansas was 121,-
232. This year it is 99,915, loss of
81 BIT.
"Talk about Arkansas" We
don't like to talk very loud about a
state which has repudiated it's debt,
and whose name is a synonym for
mossbackism and ignorance, where
the Populists say there is neither a
fair vote nor an honest count, where
a man was murdered a few years ago
because he was Republican candi-
date for congress. We don't care to
enthuse over the returns from such
a state, but the fact remains that the
Republicans have even gained in Ar
kansas.-News.

INDIANA, my own state" said Mr..
Bynum, "will give at least 10000
votes to Palmer and Buckner, which
will cause Bryan's loss of the state.
Our vote in Illinois, Michigan, Wis
consin. Minnesota, Kentucky, and
West Virginia will have similar
effect, SO far as Bryan is concerned.
In Kentucky the indications are that
we will poll $4,000 votes, and Bryan
will be smothered under these" Mr..
Bynum said Senator Hill will prob

The Hutchinson News says that
the farmers of Reno county are not
putting in as much wheat by half this
year as usual. The reason given is
that the low price of wheat and sever
al successive seasons when the yield
was extremely light, have together
disheartened the farmers, and they
have made more money raising corn,
feed and cattle. It is easier to hold
a crop of corn or feed, and there is a
local demand for ii from the cattle
men.
