ex-president of the German-American

men had borrowed large sums of money
from the bank, of which they were di-
rectors, and both had overdrawn their
accounts.

in having used bonds in the custody of
the bank. 1t is a misdemeanor under the
state law for bank director to over
draw his account in his own bank, and
both men will be prosecuted on this
charge. The arrests have created a SEN

The GOSPEL Meetings,

Precentor Hoskins had large chorus
last night that made the welkin ring
with their music at West End ball park
Dr. Mann conducted the service with
usual tact and enthusiasm. In introduce
ing the speaker he said: There are cy-
clones whose office seems to be the de-
struction of life and property. We shud-
der at the thought of the ST. Louis cy-
clone, with it's awful destruction. But
there are other than physical cyclones
spiritual ones, whose object Is not to de-
stroy, but to save life.
II have great pleasure in introducing
as the preacher of the hour an old and
tried friend; a man of known power with
God and man; one of Gods kindly cy-
clones, Rev. DIR. j. L. Freeman of San
Antonio, Tex, known as Cyclone Par
son. May he open wide the throttle OF
Gods mighty engineery of salvation this
hour and carry you upon the revolving
cyclones of Gods love to Cavalry, par
don, fullness of joy"
The Rev. DIR. Freeman took his text in
Acts XVI, %: almost thou persuadest
me to be Christian" The speaker I'M
folded the text and emphasized every
point with great JUNCTION. People were
carried step by step up the ladder from
conviction to conversion, regeneration,
adoption, Christian service, and on to a
final triumph over death and crown Of
Respondent glory at the right hand of
God.
DIR. Mann followed In brief. earnest,
persuasive invitation, to which several
responded. The chorus sang with great
effect

The New York Stock Market in Disturbed
II Condition-Money Was Hard
Yesterday.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE stock mar
ket was in a more disturbed and de-
pressed state today than on yesterday
The calling Of loans by the banks and
other tenders to provide money to bridge
over the trouble in Chicago and to move
the cotton and wheat crops was attended
by considerable liquidation OF long ac-
counts in stocks, and the bear operators
took advantage of the opportunity to
force down values. 1t was conceded that
the decline was unwarranted, but there
was an absence of purchasing power in
the market andit could not be prevented.
There were some buying orders from
trade, but not enough to furnish support
from stocks. On the other hand stocks
were offered in which there had been no
transa ctions for weeks, indicating that
sacrifices had to be made to secure funds.
The total of sales was considerably larg-
err than usual. The downward movement
was helped by rumor that William G.

Des Moines, Aug. 7.-William Jennings
Bryan ended up seven hours of cam
paigning through Nebraska and Iowa at
Des Moines tonight. His reception here
was a fitting climax to the enthusiasm
with which he had been greeted at a
number of other places in this state. 1t
was $3.50 o'clock when the train on which
Mr.. Bryan was a passenger pulled into
the station here More than 1000 people
were gathered at the railway station,
and they sweltered and perspired, with
out seeming to mind it, in their efforts to
catch a glimpse of the nominee. Car
riages were in waiting, and these carried
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan and the members of
the local reception committee to the tab
ernacle, the largest reception hall in the
city. So great was the crowd in the
streets that the political clubs that had
assembled at the station to escort Mr..
Bryan to the tabernacle could not form
in line, and were obliged to proceed as
best they could to the scene of the DEM
onstration. To make progress Mr.. Bryan
had to pacify the people by Few re-
marks.
There was q blockade most of the way
and several times the Bryan enthusiasts
held up Mr.. Bryan's carriage and tried

the masses of people packed that the car
riages containing the democratic candi-
dates party could not make any prog
ress. Mr.. Bryan made a ten minute
speech and was wildly cheered. The
multitude was satisfied and allowed him
to pass into the big tabernacle. The
seating capacity of the tabernacle is
$500. Tonight not only was every chair
occupied, but the aisles and all available
space was crowded with perspiring, but
enthusiastic, human beings. When Mr..
Bryan, escorted by Governor Boies, APP
peared on the platform there was wild
demonstration. When the tumult was
finally quelled Governor Boies introduce
ed the successful young opponent and
Mr.. Bryan made ten minutes speech.
He was frequently interrupted by cheers,
and when he concluded another outburst
came from the highly enthused gather
ing.
After the speechmaking Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan went to the Kirkwood house and
retired at once in order to get good
rest preparatory to the early start for
Chicago in the morning.

WORLDS PRODUCT OF BEER.
Consumption Has Increased, but the Num-
Der of Breweries Decreased.

consumption has Increased, out the ~ uIn-
Der of Breweries Decreased.
Gambrnus, a journal published in the
interest of the brewing industry at Wen
ma, has published a tabulated statement
of the worlds production of beer for 1895.
which the Brewers Journal reproduces.
Germany leads the world with 55.243,753
hectoliters, one nectoliter being the
equal of 26.41 gallons.
Germany's product fell off about 255,00O
hectoliters, compared with last years.
In 1895 428 breweries went out of BUSH
ness but the per capita consumption re-
mains the same. Great Britain produced
So, O03, 045 hectoliters, an increase of 229,-
621 although the number Of her brew
cries was reduced by 1903. Great Bril-
tain's per capita consumption was 1854
liters. The table Jumps the products OF
the United States, Australia and North
and South America. Just why this
should be done Gambrinus does not ex-
plain. The United States is the third
largest beer-producing country in the
world. The sale of beer in this country
during 1895 was At 282 hectollters, or
SO, 469, 661 barrels of thirty-one gallons
each. Austria Hungary comes fourth,
with 19,44S,933 hectoliters. The total
worlds production was 14,269,95S hecto-
liters. The brewing trade has greatly
prospered during the past year.
