the last reunion of the Third regiment
in 1895, Albert Berg was made an hon.
orary member Of the association, an
honor he esteems greater than that Of
membership in any of the other nu-
merous societies to which he belongs.
Secretary Berg was born Of Swedish
parents, June 25, 1861, at Center City,
Mimi, and is now thirty-tive years old.
His parents were among the early
Swedish settlers, coming here in 1852.
Leaving the common schools, he spent

Snemory, he could give without refer

In 1892 he was a delegate from this
state to the national Republican con-
vention. and the Same year he was O.
formidable candidate for the position
which tame to him two years later.
The best work Of Mr.. Berg during his
present term of office was the state
census of June l, 1895. With an appro-
priation far too limited he succeeded
in giving the state the best, most COM

produced, and which has attracted
favorable comment at home and
abroad Mr.. Eerg is member Of the
lutheran church, belongs to the fra
ternity of Masons, Elks. knights Of
Pythias, and other societies; and not
the least Of his talents is comprised in
vocal music, for which he has a mag

CHICAGO. Oct. 1.-The national gold standard committee is considering the advisability of sending Senator Palmer and General Buekner through the northwest on special train. So many requests have been received for speeches from the veterans, particularly from points in Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa, that the national committee has concluded that the only way to meet this request will be to send Generals Palmer and Buckner to those states on a special train.

How Carl McIlheny Murdered an In.
 valid Playmate.


 DALTON, O., Oct Though but q mere child, it was felonious motive that enraged little 7-year-old Carl McIlhony to plan and then deliberately shoot and kill his playmate, Tommy Kidd, last Monday.
 Tommy Kidd was sitting in his crip- pie chair in which, by means of handle wheels, he had managed to move his little paralytic body about from room to room. He was just 14 years old, hay ing for 10 years of that short existence, been an invalid and confined to the house. He was bright, intelligent and had an aptitude for study.
 The parents of Tommy, when they left two weeks ago, decided to leave the little invalid in the country in the care Of Mrs. MeIlheny, who is a widow. Carl, the childmurderer, has been the active terror of the whole country ever since he donned kneebreeches. Two 0AAo oEo LS 56G uFe to HIS mother s barn. Tommy Kidd, in defending him. self from one of Carl's practical jokes, slapped Carl. This was the provocation for the murder.
 Last Saturday John Homan returned borrowed doublebarrelled shotgun to the McIlheny house; the gun was put in the front parlor, in place quite out of the way. The barrels were empty. Carl hunted for and found the gun, loaded both barrels, came down, con- siderately drew hls baby sister from the range of his aim, aimed at little Tom mys head and deliberately shot him, killing him instantly. He put the gun back into it's accustomed place. The body of the dead boy had fallen over the chair. He sat him erect and, talk ing his little sister, went to spend the rest of the morning with the neighbors.
 The boymurderer is not legally re- sponsible, although he has confessed. He will never occupy a criminals cell for the murder he has committed. Hs is one year too young for that. How ever, efforts are being made to send him to reform school.

BRYAN AT TAMMANY'
p;o Demonstration Given the
 Presidential Candidate.
porHrNe LIKE IT THERE BEFORE.

T. 1s Said to Have Been the Greatest
 po,,t,cal Outpour Ever Held by That
 aoo,sty-Mr. Bryan Shows Weakness
 rron His Many Speeches-Large Dele
 -.+,ops Call on Mckinley.
 Nrw YORK, Oct. Whether it may be set down to the enthusiasm for
 .nd;date or the natural curosity that ,xsdominates in the American public, it C nevertheless 8 fact that the demon strstion that greeted William Jennings Bryan Tuesday night in this city was ,no.t remarkable in its character. Rlockaded streets, crowed auditorium, bssieged speaking stand and crowds that deaed the energy of the police in their stability were some of the features.
 Tammany hall, which had made the arrangements for the welcome and re- ception, outdid itself in the doing. Tam many is noted for enthusiastic assem- blages, and last night within the big sssembly hall the members tore the air with shouts of approval of the candi- dates, of the American flag and of every comment that savored either of patriot ism or loyalty to Democratic principles Every man who entered was presented with flag, the effect being that when anything pleased the audience the crowded hail seemed one huge wave of the stars and stripes.
 The police who escorted Mir. Bryan through the lines had to fight like ti- gers, the people refusing to move even when the horses almost trampled upon them. Mr. Bryan was accompanied by Mir. Sewall and George Fred Williams, the nominee for Governor of Massaohu- Eetts.
 The ensuing scene has rarely been equaled in old Tammany. The crowd fell into frenzy and the tremendous volume of sound which began then ended exactly seven minutes later and the air was kaleidoscopic with waiving hats and flags During the demonstra. ton Mir Bryan stood erect, gazing di- rectly before him. There was grati- fled smile on his lips and a gleam in his eyes. Eventually he raised his hand and secured silence Then MT. Bryan delivered his address.
 When Mir Bryan finished he showed signs of exhaustion It WAS expected that he would make some brief talks in the streets near Tammany Hall, but his condition would not admit it.
 Notwithstanding the steady downpour of rain thousands had gathered around the hall to see Bryan The police had to fight 8 passageway from the hall for Mr. Bryan and his party.

THE PRISON CONGRESS.
Resolutions Passed Asking Oct. e5 Be
 Made "Prison Sunday"

Made "Prlson Sunday
 MILWAUKEE, Oct. 1 At last nights session of the Prison Congress Rev. Samuel G. Smith, lecturer on ociology in Minnesota state university spoke of the crime in it's relations to economics. Mir Smith i'll starting out said that sta- tistics taken in England showed that crime was greater during the eras of prosperity than during the time of busi- ness depression. This, he said, was in the times of prosperity drunkenness and dissipation led up to the committing of crimes. He said that the proportion to the effect that crime has increased in the United States while it had decreased in Europe was entirely a fallacy. His observation had shown him that the greatest quantity of crime was con- mitted by the most advanced and mor- ally most progressive nations For in- stance the Englishman was much more addicted to the crime than the East IUuIdu. IilI5 was Qu6 to Jub IdCb CQab the East Indian was one of the old na- tions satisfied to go along i'll his estab- lished way. He did not take drink. and as a rest did not seek the paths which led away from law and order.
 The following resolution offered by F. G. Pettigrew of Boston was unani- mously adopted
 "Whereas, Sunday, Oct. 25, 1896, has been design 4ted as ''Prison Sunday" resolved that the National Prison asso- citation earnestly requests all clergymen in the United States and Canada to preach a sermon or hold a service on or near the day in the interest of prison reform and the prevention of crime.
 Resolved, that the wardens and su perintendents of prisons and reformato- ries who publish newspapers are re- quested to publish Prison Sunday edition i'll October and to circulate it among the clergymen ill their respective states y
