mittee Plans.

VAN VERT. OHIO, Aug. 10, lS96.-Wil-
lam Jennings Bryan was at it early this
morning. In fact he had hardly left off
haGdshaking at Chicago before he began
it agan. He did not get much sleep last
might People were waiting for him be-
tween daylight and dawn, and although he
went to his berth shortly after midnight,
he was routed out between one and two
o'clock to see a crowd at Valparaiso, Ind.
Through the foresight of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad, a drawing room car had
been attached to Mr.. Bryan's train, and
the candidate and his wife Were enabled
to have greater privacy and comfort than
is afforded by the ordinary sleeper.
The tradn reached South Chicago at 12:10
this morning, and Mr. Bryan found a big
crowd waiting him. The cheering was
very enthusiastic and the candidate was
hauled down to the station platform by
lusty rolling mill men and MADE to shake
hand with the people. The lateness of
the hour did not keep a big crowd from
gathering at One Hundredth street. They
had a brass band and We're prepared to
give the hear.tiest sort of reception to
the nominee, but the train moved off just
as he appeared on the platform. Valpa-
raise, Ind, was reached at 1:35 A NJ
Mr.. Bryan had gone to bed, but he heard
the great shout that went up from several
hundred throats. He was lying IN his
berth just half asleep when Hon. J. c.
Keern, a member of the Indiana Legis-
lature, routed him out. Mr. Bryan made
a hasty toilet and went to the platform
where he was again oheered. The crowd
wanted a speech, but Mr.. Bryan told
them that he could rot talk at that hour

The Accident TO the Brooklyn Dry

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 1s9e-Whfle
Navy Department officials have as vet

pably negligent of duty and that the

The only conceivable way such an acci-
dent could have been brought about, ac-
cording to the experts here, is that the
water in the caisson was permitted to
escape into the dock which luckily was
empty at the time and in this condition
a slight swell or rising tide, taking adyan-
tage of the caisson's unwarranted buoy
aney, lifted it from its groove where it
is ordinarily held in place by the pressure
OF the warer outside and by its own
weight when filed.
Additional evidence that the caisson was
empty is found in the fact that it I'M

GIVE IT TO CHICAGO.
The West should Bear the Odfnm
of the Freak Campairn

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 1S96--1f the
wishes of the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency are complied with the
headquarters of the National Committee
will be fixed at Chicago, unless Mr..
Bryan is brought to see that better re-
suits can be reached by having them in
this city. If the wishes of Chairman
Jones, Chairman Faulkner of the Con-
gressional Committee. Senator German
and others who will have active charge
of the campaign, prevail, these headquar-
ters will be located in Washington. While
many members of the National Commit
tee favor the Western city on account of
its central position, with respect to the
great battle-ground of the middle West,
1t is believed here that majority of
them can be brought to see the advan-
tages derived by locating the headquar-
ters in Washington The contest is be-
tween this city and Chicago alone; New
York is not and has not, as one of the
most prominent members of the commit
tee says, and as Mr.. Bryan has been
quoted as saying, ever been considered
Just what Chairman Jones win do re-
mains to be seen. Upon him is placed the
mittee. Whether ne succeeds or whether
he fails, he alone will be charged with
the result, and it is quite probable that
he may take the matter into his own
hands and settle it after his own ideas.
The National Committee is entitled to
consideration. but Mr.. Jones Will doubt
less impress upon that committee the
desirability of Washington and request
the selection of Washington after he
Knows that his request VIII be complied
with. Courtesy alone requires the con-
sent of the committee and there is said
man to acquiesce in the decision of the
committee. 1t is believed, therefore, to
be almost certain that Washington will
be selected. although, in Difference TO the
branch may be established in that city
to work in harmony with and under the
control of the main office in this city.

effect upon visitors, for on one has as
yet put in AN appearance
1t is believed at Populist HEADQUARTERS
that Chairman Butler will be in the city
early this weeek. Mail has begun to ar
rive addressed to members of the execu-
tive committee in care of the National

committee will be held within a few days

AH!RAH!RAHt' The
State Oratorical
Contest is at last
an event of the
past, but its men,
ory will for some
time to come re-
main in the minds
of all our people
for their handsome

and gifted young lady representative,
Miss Nary Damon, has won for our
city and for herself homer and distinc-
tion and brought to prominent notice
the Worthington High school, Of
which she is one of the most progress
i've pupils. Not only has the result
been most happy one, in the win
ming of second place among the lady
orators Of the state, but at the same
time it must certainly silence all
doubt as to who was rightfully entitl-
ed to first rank at the Luverne contest
and also serve as an endors ement of
Prof. Porters actions in appealing
from the decision of the Luverne
| judges. The result is indeed pleas
ant ending Of contest which has
been not only Of local interest but
which, in fact, has attracted the at
tention of the entire State. Each
congressional district was represent
ed at the State Contest and of the
honors and prizes Miss Damon is
awarded second in rank, Miss Their
esa Lewis, of Alexandria, being given
first place by very slight margin.
The Pioneer Press, in its account of
the contest, thus speaks of Miss
Damon:
"Miss Mary Damon of Worthington
the winner of the second prize, was
the second on the programme. Her
selection was THE Gypsy Flower
Girl" Miss Damon appeared in the
Gypsy costume and gave the poor
wild girls story of love, jealousy and
hate in a very clever manner. She
possesses {. great deal of natural tai
ent and passed through the various
phases of the story delightfully."-. She
was PARTICULAR y good in the descrip-
tion of the storm and the attack of
the pet lion on the faithless lover
In winning this honor Miss Damon
has certainly given practical evidence
of her talents and splendid training,
and the ADVANCE begs the privilege
of extending to the young lady its
most hearty congratulations and best
wishes for future success in the same
direction. Happy New Year to Miss
Damon and Prof. Porter and great
big Rah! for the Worthington High
School, ''4%L@.. n.
