Armour Foreman Who Discharged a Man
for Being Absent on Jury Duty.
CHICAGO, July 1S.-John Hartleb, an EN-.
ploye of the Armour Packing company,
was drawn on jury and kept there three
weeks. Meantime the foreman of Hart
leb's department hired another man. Hart
leb applied to the court for reinstatement
in his old position stating that he had re-
turned to work as soon as he was dis
charged from the jury and was told that
he had been gone too long and you'll
have to wait now for another opening"
The foreman. Donohue, was cited to ap-
pear and plead TO contempt of court. The
judge said: Il think it is a shame that a
great firm like the Armour Packing COM
pany, which has so much property and
such vast interests which it relies upon
the county to protect in the courts, should
so use an einploye when he is summoned
to do the county small service. You
shall restore this man to his position to.

court, and IL hear of his being discharged

Popuiace Goes Wild and Keeps 1t Up Till
After Midnight,

When the reception was over BRYAN
went to a platform erected at the north
end of the state house, where he addressed
what Is said to have been the largest
crowd of people ever assembled in Lincoln.
His speech was short, for there was a most
unpleasant drizZling rain falling. There
was no introductory speech. Bryan was
among his own people and needed none.
When he came forward he was received
with a thundcrous applause. He then
briefly addressed the people, the keynote
of his speech being given in the following,
which We're the first words he said: II
am proud tonight to be able to say of
those who are assembled here These arc
our neighbors.' Applause and cheers.
1 beg to express to Republicans, Demo.
Gratis Populists, Prohibitionists, and all
of all parties the gratitude which we feel
for this magnificent compliment. [Great
applause and enthusiastic cheers.

recalls the day nine years ago this month
when by accident rather than by design
! first set foot within the limits of the city
of Lincoln. 1 remember the day because
! fell in love with the town and then
made the resolve to make it my future
home" He added further along that
Lincoln should be his home when death
came to him and that his ashes would
mingle with the dust of the state of Ne
braska.
At the conclusion of his address the
| crowd sent up n shout that fairly made the

will give US our share of the electors there
will be no difficulty in the way of united
action for silver" said Sergcant-at-Arm
Mcdowell, of the Populst national con-
vention, in the course of an interview.
Talks with other leading Populists showed
this to be the situation, there being well
defined feeling against indorsing the Chi
cago conventions ticket. The PopuliSt
plan is TO divide the electors in each state
according to the strength of the POpulist
and Democratic parties, the stronger can
didate to take all the electors after the
election. This they contend will insure
the election of a silver man.
Colonel NJ. T. Doud. vice president of
the silver societies of Missouri, who has
been appointed sercaaEt-at-arms of the
silver convention, said: I'VE will have
plenty of good silver takers here next
week. There Will be easily over 1909 del
egates. Two hundred and twenty seven
are coming from five congressional dis
, tricts in Missouri alone. We will declare

tial candidate. Whether Bryan will be
Endorsed l cannot say. There Is 4 strong
feeling in his favor right now, but still
there are others. Even if another man is
nominated Bryan will get the electoral
votes of the silver people. And We will
have a good many, too. There is no doubt
in our minds that Bryan will have 4 ma
