THE BRYAN ARMY
Generals Are Engaged in Arranging
Plans for a Vigorous
Campaign.
VOLUNTEERS ARE ENuSTING
Free Coinage Clubs Rallying Around
the Standard From All
Quarters.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Jones
chairman Of the democratic national
committee, had a long conference this
afternoon with Senator Faulkner, chair
mar of the congressional committee, ex-
Congressman Bland Of Missouri, who
came here from New YORK.; Senator
Bacon of Georgia, Representative Nc
Millin and Representative Richardson OF
Tennessee, and Dan McConville, chair
man OF the state executive committee OF
Ohio, and Lawrence Gardiner, secretary
of the congressional committee. They
exchanged views az to the plan Of the
campaign, devoting most of the time to
the question Of club organization. AS
their means will be very limited, they
say they expect TO rely upon democratic
clubs for much effective campaign work.
They have reports of the organization of
large numbers of Bryan and Sewall clubs
throughout the country. A number Of
these, however, are composed entirely Of
republicans, and on this account the
central organizations will have to be
separate. Chauncey F. Black of Penn
s~ylvania, president Of the association Of
democratic clubs. was te~legraphed for
and is expected tomorrow morning, In
his hands possibly will be placed the
work of perfecting details, but the exec
utive work will be done by Congressman
McMilliu, who is now vice chairman Of
the executive committee of clubs. He
possibly will be elected chairman in
place of Postmaster General Wilson, who
is going abroad this fall. An effort will
be made, it is understood, to induce
some very prominent silver republican,
preferably Senator Teller, to accept the
presidency OF bryan and Sewall republi.
can silver clubs. Chairman Jones will
go to Chicago Wednesday to arrange for
the location of the main headquarters
and get the work of the campaign under
way. Bland will probably accompany
him. Senator Jones did not Jul
the remaining three members Of the
campaign committee today, and he may
not do SO until he reaches Chicago.

SUDDEN AS FATAL
Accidents in Different Sections and
From Widely Different
Causes.
BOTH RESULTED SERIOUSLY
Deadly Dynamite in Pennsylvania, a
TreacherOus Building in
Wisconsin,.

LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. 17.-Three men
were killed, 10 or more injured and sew
eral buildings demolished by the ex-
plosion of % pounds of dynamite at New
Holland, Pa this morning. The Penn
sylvania Telephone company, building a
new line in that vicinity, had stored ex-
plosives in the summer kitchen of the
Eagle house. Early this morning Chas.
E. Cannon,s an employe, wen to the
summer kitchen to get out enough dy-
Mantle for the days use. A few me
ments later there was a terrible eXplo
sion and one side of the summer kitchen
was blown out. A big hole in another
side had blood and flesh on the ragged
edges, and it is supposed Cannon's body
was sent through there. The unfortun-
ate man was blown to atoms, his stomach
having been found two blocks away. Up
to a late hour neither his legs nor his
head had been found. Frank Hammond
of Harrisburg, who was standing just
outside of the building, had every bone
in his body broken and WAS instantly
killed. George Crossman Of Skeleton,
a water boy, was also standing near the
building, and was SO badly injured that
he died while being brought to thiscity.
Among those injured, Michael Wade
may die. The damage to property was
heavy.

an extent has this system been carried
that the delegate from the rural district,
no matter what his preferences may be,
finds upon his arrival at a convention a
slate already prepared, and is left the
option of indorsing it or not voting at
all. The wish Of the people Of the out
lying districts to be represented on the
party ticket by some one Of their W
and trusted citizens, and their desire for
an equal distribution OF the places to be
filled, is now wholly ignored, and they
are left the alternative of voting tickets
in whose framing they had no voice, or
staying away from the polls,
Places of trust, honor or cmolument
were not created to be monopolized by a
select few, but rather should be held as
a reward of merit for deserving citizens,
wherever they may be located in a
county. 1t is not too late then, grant
ing the correctness of my statement, for
the coming convention to so distribute
the nominees that the rural districts
shall each have a representative on the
ticket. BY such a course the utmost
harmony would be produced and the
victory of the party be assured.

AUGUSTA, Aug. 1G.--The people of
Augusta and vicinity were sorry to hear
of the death of Mrs. II. w. Langc, who
died from cancer, Saturday, the Sth, at
her residence, west of ROhner. She
was long a martyr to this dread dis
ease, and it seems as though she had it
in its worst form. She was a good
mother, an exemplary wife and neigh
Dor, and deserved a better fate than to
be stricken down in the prime of life. A
large circle of friends and neighbore
mourn her loss; also a bereaved hus-
band, daughter and son. She rests be-
side her youngest son and a nephew in
the modest burial ground three miles
west Of kohner. Requiescat in pace.
Messrs. Whitaker and Kinna made a
flying visit to Sun River.

tails too much additional work on the
boards of school districts and their
clerks, and does not conserve any better
purpose, as a whole, than the general
levy, but gives a chance for some cheese
pairing and misery parties to vote the
tax down on the ground that they have
no children to send TO school. One of
the highest and most imperative duties
the state owes to its coming citizens is
to provide a continuous educational sys-
tenn, subject to the whims and caprices
of no one.
