The Democratic party of the
nation in convention in Chicago.
which was perhaps tsse most rep
sentative body of the brains
and craftsmanship and manhood
of America-and, therefore. that
the world has ever known-ever
assembled in political confer>
ence, have placed at the head Of
the ticket the youngest man ever
named by any party for Presi-
dent of the United States Wills
liam J. Bryan, of Nebraska.
Mr.. Bryan is only 36 years of
age, but he had already ma de
his mark in the halls of Con-
gress and before the people. AS
a Representative from his State
II the lower House by one great
speech, several years ago. in be-
half of silver, he surged
right to the forefront and re
manned there with easy ability
until he declined to stand for re-
nomination, preferring to remain
at home and work among his peo-
pie for the furtherance of re ,
silver than to further fight for 1t
without avail in the halls Of Con.
gress, dominated, as it so often is,
by strategy and stult; and for
that self sacrifice, for his abiding
faith in the cause of silver and
in the common people, he is now
brought to command the mar
shalled forces for silver suprem-
acy in the nation.
A man of powerful brain, OF
cultured intellect, of ready
speech, of resistless oratory, his
mastery speech for silver before
the convention swayed that vast
body of giant intellects as a
mighty wind sways great forest
and swept it into a tornado Of en-
thusiasm that lifted him at once
to the highest pinnacle of the
party's honor-to the head Of the
national ticket. His nomination
means that the Democracy under
lis leadership will sweep the
COuAIIy even DIS lie SWeDb GIlt
convention. He stands for the
progress and progressive de-
mands Of the age, with the power
to cope for their supremacy with
all adversaries and the youthful
yigor to guarantee their perpet-
uity and enforce their provis
ions.
The convention is still in ses>
sion, as we write, casting for 9
vice>president, with the chances
running in favor Of Mclean, O1
Ohio, and the nomination will be
made before these llnes reach the
eyes of our readers; but whoever
he be, it is settled nov, that the
ticket nominated by this con-
vention will be elected in No
yember next by the greatest pop
ular vote the country has ever
known.

OLD TINE RELIGION.

Protracted Services in St. John Church
Creating Much Interest.
The hour hand on the church
clock was pointing to two this
morning when number of peni-
tents arose from their knees and
St. John church was finally va.
Gated aud the lights put out. The
service had been continued from
$50 o'clock yesterday evening
and during the early evening the
church was crowded urtil there
was not even standing room IN
the aisles and vestibule. The
larger portion of the crowd re
NAMED until after II o'clock,
when those who were present
from the country and several in
town who had grown weary left
and went home, but there still
remained quite a number of ZEAL
Gus workers to intercede for
those who were seeking pardon,
peace and power.
For the past week there had
been revival services in vogue in
ST. John church, at which quite
a mum Der had professed conver-
sion and several claimed sanctis
fcation.
During these services there has
been no preaching by the pastor.
the congregation and those
claiming sauctihcation occupy
the time for a sermon in testify
ing to the consciousness OF hav :
ing the approval Of a merciful
God in all their actions aud ex-
pressing the happiness that only
such a consciousness brings. The
meetings all last week had been
well attended and many aud
earnest were the testimonies
from bright young faces, as we'll
as those in which time had
wrought many wrinkled fur
rows, who had claimed church
mem bership for thirty and forty
years ard had never mad such a
gracious experience before.
To accumulate the crowd that
was expected yesterday morning
the Congregation Of ST. John
went to ST. Paul church to wor.
ship and that beautiful and spa
cious edifce was tnronged. and
right mu;h interest was mani
tested. But the service last night
at ST. John, as told in the Begin
ming of this article, eclipsed all
the enthusiastic scenes of Crump
ler's sanctificatin services in the
tabernacle, and if it is not a eli
max the community will not
know what next to expect.

Hear James G. Blaine.

In a speech in the United
States Senate, in 1880, James G.
Blaine prophetically said:
81 believe the struggle now
going on in this country and in
other countries for single gold
standard would, if successful.
produce widespread disaster in
and throughout the commercial
world. The destruction of silver
as money, ard establishing gold
as the sole unit of value,
must have Ia ruinous effect
on all forms of property except
those investments which yield a
fixed sum in money. Those
would be enormously enhanced
in value, and would gain diss
proportinate and unfair advant>
age over every other species of
property. If. as the most re-
liable statistics affirm, there are
nearly $1,000, 100000 of coin or
bullion in the world, very equal.
ly divided between gold and sill
yer, 1t is impossible to strike
silver out of existence as money
without results that will prove
distressing TO millions and ut
terly disastrous to tens of thou
sands.
Il believe gold and silver coin
to be the money of the CGnstitu-
ton; Indeed, the money of the
American people anterior to the
Constitution. which the great or
ganic law recognized as quite in
dependent of its own existence
No power was conferred on Con-
gress to declare that either me.
tai should not be money. Con-
gress has, therefore, in my judg>
ment, no power to demonetize
either. If therefore, silver has
been demonetized, I am in favor
of remonetizing it. IF it's coinage
has been prohibited. I am in ia
vor Of having it enlarged.

racket of the loom are now heard
at the Wayne Cotton Mill in this
city from 6 o'clock in the morn
ing until z at night. The mill is
visited throughout the day by
town people, who have all heard
of making cloth so rapidly by
machinery, but very few have
ever seen the sight. The taking
of raw cotton from the bale ana
returning in its stead q piece of
white sheeting, 36 inches wide
is sight worth seeing, and this
is just what the Wayne Cotton
Mill is doing. To do all this
required an immense amount OF
machinery, all of which performs
each its intricate task with
human like deftness
At present there are about
fifty operatives employed in
running the mill, and there is
room for about a dozen mors
weavers to commence work next
Monday morning. A great many
of the operatives have never seen

those that have come from Ra

operatives will average an out.

its own electric light plant anc
after awhile it IS the intention OF
the management to employ {

This kind of an industry has

New Committee.

Chicago. July 11.-In accord~
ance with the call issued by
Chairman Harrity, of the Nation
al Committee, the members of
the new and old organ cations
met at the Palmer House this
afternoon. There were present
all told about thirty five gent1e~
men and besides members of the
committee a number of news :
paper men were given seats. Mr..
Harrity said, after calling the
mem oers 10 order. that the meet
ing was held in accordance with
the general custom of bringing
together the members of the old
and new committees after the
convention had completed it's
business in order to become ac-
quainted and that authority
might be given to close up the
business in connection with the
convention, which now consisted
largely if not altogether of the
payment of expenses incurred
on account of its meeting. He
was happy to inform the mem :
bers Of the committee that funds
were in the hands of the treas
urer more than sufficient to meet
all the obligations that were out
standing, and to return to the
treasurer of the citizens com
mittee, something Of a surplus
for distributing to the contribu>
tors of the fund.
Gen. Blair, of Kansas, the old
est member of the committee in
point of service except Mr.. Sui
loway, of New Hampshire. pre-
sented resolutions of thanks to
Chairman Harrity for the i'm
partiality. faitnfuIness and sim
gleness of oeyotion with which
the chairman of the committee
had performed the duties of his
position and to Secretary Sheer>
in for his successful labors, ais
ways SO courteously and kindly
given.
The resolutions were unani>
mously adopted.
While the committee was in
session the candidates, Messrs.
Bryan and Sewall, came into the
room and were heartily congrat-
ulated, but took no part in the
proceedings.
The new national Committee
reassembled at $50 p. N. Mr..
Bryan being present by invita-
ton, remained throughout the
session, which lasted until il. 80
D. 10. Senator Jones was elected
chairman Of the National Com
mittee and given practically un
limited powers.
l. was decided that the candi
dates for President be notified
of their nomination in Madison
Square Garden, New York city.
The date was Lot fixed, but it will
probably be about July 2lst or
22nd.
There was considerable infor-
NAL talk about the conduct of
the campaign, the location OF
national headquarters, and other
matters. Several members ex-
pressed the opinion that Chicago
was the logical headquarters
from which the campaign should
be directed, but others favored
New York city. 1t was
said that MI. Bryan is in favor
of the latter city. .S-s
There was a general disposi,
ton to leave the determination
of all these matters to Senator
Jones and the campaign COM

will oe settled at a meeting held
in New York city about the time
the candidates are notified.

Here lie the remains of Mrs.

1923, aged 81 years. Her face
was fair. her person pleasing,
her temper amiable, and her
heart kind; she delighted in re-

the poor she was benefac-

to the wretched a comforter.
Her piety went hand in hand

He stole a cart and set of harness
from Harvey Bastine and took them
to Ness county, He WAS arrested,
brought back and arraigned before
VanWyck who turned him loose MS
soon as he got his costs charged up.
By turning him loose it threw the
costs upon the county, knowing that
The county could pay them and Grin
could not. And when we made this
statement we know exactly what we
are talking about. Grin promised to
return the property but neve. did it.
Some time after this Grin was arrest
ed in Sheridan county for stealing
saddles. He was bound over to the
district court, but feigned sickness
and was given liberties which he took
advantage of and made his escape.
He is now bound over to the district
