He Will Speak at Buffalo, Erie and
Cleveland and Then Go Home.

cleveland and Then Go Home.
Upper Red Hook. N. Y. Aug. IS
VIM. J. Bryan's itinerary after he has
rested is partially arranged. He will
not go back to New York to answer the
speech of Cochran He will go from
here to Buffalo. from Buffalo to Erie,
from Erie to Cleveland, speaking at
each place. From Cleveland he will go
direct to Lincoln. When he leaves Lin

airy of that trip including speeches in
Kentucky, Florida, Missouri and Mary
land and he will come east again about
the last week in September. He will
speak in Brooklyn and then go to New
England. Upon his return from New
England he will speak in New York
city. Mr. Bryan said last night in re-
gard to the alleged statement by SEN
ator Thurston in his letter to Senator
Stewart that Mr.. Bryan had been
charged with being in the employ of
silver men that it had been denied be
fore and at the proper time a specific
denial will be made
In this sleepy hamlet Mr.. and Mrs
Bryan seem in a fair way to secure the
much needed rest.
From the window of a two-story
frame house of unpretentious propor-
tiOns Mr.. Bryan looks upon a few
houses, a village store and a not very
prosperous hotel. But he also looks
out upon a beautiful country and as
he expressed it himself tonight: "A
scene itself to make a weary man
rest
There was little or no demonstration
in the village when Mr.. and Mrs. Bry-
an arrived from a six mile drive from
the station. A gun squad of Madelin,
in uniform, paraded for the occasion
and there was quite a deal of enthusf-
asm by the small crowd who gathered
at the large lawn of the place and list
ened to the Red Hook brass band.

tering offer by the Yale football man
agement to take charge of the team
at New Haven this fall The Michigan
management has equaled the offer
from the east and it is probable that
the sons of Eli will have to seek else

not accepted the eastern offer as yet,

The loss of such a man to Michigan

UMPIRE BEGAN SHOOTING.
An Angry Team Made a Rush for
Him but He Shot Them Down.

Helena Ark. Aug. 1S-A game of ball
for stakes of IS played at Poplar Bluffs
between coIored men broke up in a
pitched battle in which two boys were
fatally shot and four others We're more
or less wounded.
Negro boys from the Polk and Low
dy plantations constituted the oppos-
ing teams. Vim. Griffin, the umpire and
an adherent of the Polk side, held the
stakes.
In the third inning Griffin gave the
LOWdy team the worst of a close de-
cision, and the aggrieved team, led by
Israel Tate, made a rush for the UNI
pire, and his son, who was acting as
official scorer.
The umpire was prepared for the at
tack. He opened a valise and passed
pistols tc members of the Polk team,
and the battle began.
Israel Tate was the only man on the
Lowdy team that had q gun but he did
effective work. He emptied his pistol
into the Polk team, reloaded and emp
tied it again. He is credited with hav-
ing shot four men.

DEBs WRITES A LETTER.
Would Rather See Mckinley Elected
Than Have Another Democratic
Administration.

Omaha, Neb.. Aug. 18.-A special to
the Bee saws: Eugene V. Debs has
written under date of August a letter
to George p. Garrison of Chadron, Neb.,
setting forth his views on silver and
fusion between the Democrats and Pop
pIists. Mr.. Debs states his attitude
clearly. He says, referring to fusion
and the present condition of the ma
tional tickets:
Without the support of the Populists
the Democratic party could not win.
The Populists. animated by patriotic
motives, accorded first honors to the
Democrats, and the Democrats, If they
are animated by similar motives, will
now accord the POpulistS second place
by placing Mr.. Watson on the ticket
with Mr.. BRYAN Mr.. Sewau can we'll
afford to step aside to effect the union
of the two great forces and insure the
election of the peoples candidates.
Such action on the part. of Mr.. Sew
all would make him a far greater man
than vice president. Failing to accord
the PEOPLES Party such recognition by
giving them place on the national
ticket, there will be dissatisfaction
which may eliminate in open revolt,
especially in the southern states, where
Populists have suffered all sorts of in
dignities at the hands of the Bourbon
Democracy. And this may cost Mr..
Bryan his election and put Mckinley
and gold buggism in power. For the
scOrn spoils in any form. But for the
principle involved, we care and have a
right to care much.
There is a vast difference between
Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic party.
If the latter'S only ambition is to SWal-
low the Peoples Party so as to place
them in power and get possession of
the offices, their design will and should
be thwarted. 1 would far rather see
Mckinley elected than have another
Democratic administration.
