A committee Of eighteen or twenty
engineers of the Omaha system met in
the office of General Manager Burt, of
the Omaha, yesterday, and presented
to E. w. Winter, their former general
manager, who recently severed his
connection with that line to accept the
presidency of the Northern Pacific,
with an engrossed testimonial, a copy
of which is herewith given. Mr.. Win
ter replied briefly to his visitors, ex-
pressing very great appreciation of the
token.
Following is the document:
Edwin w. Winter General Manager c.,
ST. p, NJ. & o. Ry., st. Paul, Mimi. Dear
Sir: The engineers of the c., St. P. NJ & O.
Ry., having learned that you are about to

service, to assume the duties of president of
the Northern Pacific railway, cannot refrain

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Western
reads and the Knights of Pythias are
at loggerheads over the rates for the
national conclave of the knights. If
was the original plan of the knights
to have the conclave at MINNEAPOLIS
but when the roads granted a one fare
rate for the G. A. r., annual encamp-
ment the knights who had not received
rate as low as that made complaint.
ana asked for the same tariff as had
been granted for the encampment. The
roads said that they had allowed the
Knights longer limits on their tickets
than had been granted to the grand
army and they thought the KNIGHTS
should rest content with that The
Knights were not content, however. and
decided to hold their conclave in Cleve-
land. Then they asked the roads for
reduced rates to that city and the
roads refused to grant it. Now they
have submitted a proposition to the
roads providing for a one fare rate
with rather narrow limitations as to
the final return limit and the roads are
considering the proposition with every
chance that they will finally decide
against 1t. There is q strong feeling
among many of the roads against
granting the knights any reduced rates
at all and it is not at all unlikely that
the knights will be ignored entirely.

CLEVELAND, o., July 17-One more
body, that of a man, which has not yet
been identified, was recovered at an
early hour this morning from the river
at the scene of last nights disaster. 1t
is believed that there are still several
more bodies in the river, as at least
three men who were on the boat have
not yet been accounted for. The life
saving crew remained on duty all night,
and as soon as daylight appeared. they
pressed a greater number of boats into
service. These were manned by river
men, who were provided with Crap
ping hooks and lines. They rowed up
and down the river around the spot
where the bodies were supposed to
have gone down. At times their Crap
ping hooks would become eRtangled
in some object at the bottom of the
river and the men would cease rowing.
The crowds on shore would press for
ward, and await in breathless expect
ancy the hauling in of the line. The
hooks would bring to light nothing
more than a piece of water-logged
wood After the finding of the body
early this morning, no further. discover

NEW BOND ISSUE.
Talk of One Has Been Revived In
New York.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE rally in
stocks today was attended by revived
rumors of an impending new govern
ment bond issue. 1t was again alleged
that representative financiers had been
in conference with Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Curtis on the subject.
The story went that the treasury Off
Gals and the president believed that
an issue Of bonds would soon be neces-
sary, and that bonds could be market
ed to better advantage now than later,
and that the political effect of such a
step would have practically worn off
bys election time. The appearance of
Mr.. Curtis at the sub-treasury yester-
day and today lent color to the re-
port, and especially in view of strong
and active market for government
bonds this morning. Bankers usually
identified with the financial measures
of the administration, and members OF
the old government bond syndicates,
discredited the report.

of the silver forces now supporting the
Bryan and Sewall ticket in this State.
In the selection of the State ticket
here, one branch of these forces has
not been included, and the silver Re-
publicans, led by Senator Dubois and
other friends Of Mr.. Bryan, have felt
it necessary to nominate separate
ticket.
'.This division Of forces is very I'M
satisfactory to the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, and it is with regret
that we see the evil effect OF this con-
dition must fall upon Senator Dubois
and other free silver Republicans, who
have alienated themselves from former
support through their adherence to the
great cause for which Mr.. Bryan and
and our party stand.
"Among Mr.. Bryan's most active
supporters, both here and other States,
are thousands OF such Republicans,
and our committee appreciates such
support so fully that it gladly exerts
its influence with Democrats every.
where in favor OF the most honorable
and courteous treatment Of such allies
"Of course any adjustment Of the
present conditions must come through
the voluntary action of the Democrats
and Populists Of the State, and am
glad to say that the friendly feeling
which find here, leads me to believe
that some plan will soon be devised
which will prove entirely satisfactory
to all concerned.
Local Democrats, almost without
; exception, are disposed TO accommo
date the National Committee in thil
matter, so far as is possible and consist

An Exciting Campaign.

We are now in the midst OF an ex-
citing campaign. Before it closes it
may become the most exciting known
to this generation. All the parties
protesting true patriotism are looking
to the same end, namely. Of lettering
the Republic, beneftting the States
and raising the government of the peo-
pie to the highest standard.
Our government is not perfect, IL is
not an exact science, and hence there
will be differences and theories about
its management for long years to come.
1t is right that men should differ under
these circumstances. BY differing they
come to better understanding, and
by discussions they come nearer TO the
correct theories Of government. But
In all the differences and discussions
the opposing parties should be charit-
able, should be kind, should be for.
bearing one with another.
Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Bryan are o
the highest types OF true manhood
Touching their compaigns every mov'
will be upon the highest plains known
to American politics, and THE New:
hopes that the State and county cam
paigns In Idaho will be run in imita
tion of the National campaign. Not
single occasion is known to exist fo
the abusive styles of other days. Sucl
styles win no votes, they make n,
friends, they add no strength to tn
party indulging in them. Let this cam
paign be the beginning of new err
in Idaho politics. Let 1t go down il
the history Of the State as the cam
paign without calumny, abuse an
slanderous personalities.

BRYAN,s OHIO CAMPAIGN.
Greatest Demonstration on Record ut
the State Capital.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Sept. 1.-The free
silver campaign in Ohio touched its
high-water mark In Cleveland last
night, but the outpouring of people to
see and hear the Presidential candi-
date at the State capitol tonight was
greater in proportion to the size OF the |
city than than in the northern metrop-
oils had been.
Mr.. Bryan had the State capitol
grounds for his forum, and the mem.
DRY of local politicians contains no such
demonstration as the one in which he
played the star part. Inhabitants say
that no other attraction has ever drawn
so strongly in Columbus, except dis
play of fireworks in connection with
the State fair on the same grounds two
years ago, when 40 per cent. more peo-
pie gathered. A rooted and fag-draped
platform faced the eastern front of the
capitol building. and, as Mr.. Bryan
looked down from its height twenty
feet above the street, he saw the steps
and terraces packed in solid rows, with
the gloomy stone wall for the back
ground, while about the other three
sides of the stage, across lawn OF
several acres to the street beyond,
stood regiments of which an accurate
estimate was an impossibility and
which careful guess would place at
$4,000. Looking down from the roof OF
the capitol building an hour before the
candidate arrived one saw the whole
place, on all sides, swarming with men;
women and children, large part OF
the city's population, reinforced by Wis
itors to the State fair, now In progress
They iostled and pushed about ths
grounds and poured through the CORR
doris of the building in kaleidoscope
currents, cheering the sky-rocket
which popped in the air and bras
band stationed on the steps for thei
entertainment.
