BRYAN's SILVER CAVE.

The City of Lincoln EnjOined
Against Gold Payments.
Lincoln, Neb.. Aug. S.-The gold bond in
junction, in which w. J. Bryan is the
aead4ng plaintiff, was to-day submitted to
the supreme court and its disposition will
be watched with interest.
Some months ago the city Of Lincoln, at
the instance of the city council, voted
s247,O0O in refunding bonds. The council
marketed these bonds to ex-City Treasu-
rer Stevenson, a clause being inserted pro-
viding for payment in gold. Before the
papers were signed, the council was en-
joined by Mr. Bryan and others, their con
tention being that the statutes did not rec
ognize a gold bond, and that 1t should
read "coin"
Judge Holmes, in district court, decided
in favor Of Bryan, and from this decision
the council appealed.

Mine shaft burned.
Kankakee H., Aug. s.-The boiler room
and building Of the Gardner Wilmington
Coal Company at Clarke City, H., were
totally destroyed by fire Friday morning
about l0;SO a. m. The fire started in the
roof Of the boiler room around the smoke
stack. The mine was working a full
force.
BY the destruction of the machinery and
hoisting apparatus, 300 miners were en-
tombed 500 feet in the earth.
The miners were placed in the gravest
peril by the shutting off OF the supply Of
air. For a short time there was great ex-
element In the village among the friends
and relatives Of the imprisoned men, AS
soon as the fire had completed its work
the miners escaped by climbing the long
ladders In the air shaft.
All the men escaped without injury and
none the verse for their experience.

Recalls CIeveIand's Bridal visit.

The scene recalled the great personal
demonstration in the same spot when
President Cleveland and his bride came to
Chicago to be cheered by hundred thous-
and citizens from the balcony Of the Pal
mer house.
It was nearly an hour and a half from
the time of arrival until the Bryan party
appeared on the small balcony of the
Clifton house.
Mr.. Bryan rested a little while before he
showed himself to the people, and when
his face was seen there arose a mighty
and long continued roar Of voices, lasting
several minutes.
They were waiting and surging to and
fro and almost fighting for the best places,
only to see and hear Mr.. Bryan.
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan stood alongside
William J. Strong while he tried to make
an address of welcome, but he was inter
rupted several times in the course of his
brief speech. Mr.. Strong said the voters
in that vast assembly who had the honor
of welcoming Mr.. Bryan were the real
business men of the city. They were the
men whose children had been tugging at
their coat tails for bread, which they had
not been able TO give. Many misguided
men were there who were under the ter
rorism of press, but whom the democratic
party expected to vote for Bryan in No
vember. Men were present who resented

Diolkir son sch.,l District.

At the adjourned quarterly meet.
ing Of the Dickinson school board
held July l6, E. L. Scofield was elect.
ed chairman for the ensuing year and
NJ. L. Ayers clerk.
There being considerable amount
of money in the sinking fund. it was
deemed advisable that the treasurer
should negotiate for the purchase of
one or more of the first issue of
bonds and report to the board at a
subsequent meeting.
In the matter of securing the ser.
vices of a janitor for the coming year,
commencing September l, it was vot.
ed to hire for a period of 10 months
ut thirty dollars per month, which
makes saving to the district of
fifty dollars per year over the ar.
rangement of the past three or four
years. Frank Hiser made applica.
tion for the position, but the matter
was left open until the next meeting.
A detailed report by the clerk
showed that &7,329 in warrants had

Total. ....... 400 $3.50
Balance remaining from appropriation ) OIL.
1t mus: be remembered that in
In making up the yearly levy the
board has to make allowance for taxes
uncollectable. AS an example, this
year a levy of ten thousand five hun.
dred dollars is made, from which levy
it is expected that about eight thou.
sand dollars can be raised, the proba.
BILE amount needed for the mainten.
ance of schools the coming year.
The amount of warrants issued for
books is not properly an expenditure,
as the money is refunded to the dis.
trict by the pupils who buy the books
at actual cost. In the matter of the
coal and freight the figures show a
saving of over one hundred dollars
over the report of year ago and two
hundred dollars over the report of
two years ago. The report also shows
fifty dollars saved in the expense for
incidentals. The aggregate of sala.
ries to teachers has increased some
FIVE hundred dollars, owing to the
fact that one new room was added in
school No. and that school No. 3
(the Buck district) was created last
summer. And this item of expense
will not decrease any the coming
year as the 7th room will be added
in school No. this fall. The chill.
dren are hereof school age-and
must be educated.
The fact that the assessed valuation
of property in this district for this
year has been decreased some over
one hundred thousand dollars was a
serious problem for the board and
something wholly unexpected. The
deduction seems to have been made
principally in lands and cattle, the
latter having been driven out of the
county. This will necessarily in.
crease the rate of taxation, where.
as it was hoped that the rate would
have been less.
At the present time there are no
outstanding warrants against the
district and there are 1900 dollars in
the treasury in addition to the sink
ing fund. 1t is calculated that there
will be three Thousand dollars lin
the treasury to the credit of the
general fund by Sept. l. So it will
be seen that the board has the dis.
trict on a cash basis and they pro-
pose to keep it there if possible.

Thus the issues are more sharply
defined than they have been at any
time before for generation. What.

unless in consequence of an agree.
ment with the principal commercial
nations of the world. A few weeks
ago it seemed likely to the Republi-
can managers that the vote of the
workingmen and farmers could be
secured for Mckinley to very great
extent on the tariff issue. But Mr..
Bryan IS now competing for that
vote in the most energetic fashion,
upon the issue of the free coinage Of
silver. He and his managers at once
adopted the policy of carrying the
war into Africa" and it was an.
nounced that Mr.. Bryan's formal no.
tlfication would take place-not in
Lincoln, Neb., where he lives-but
IN the great hall of the Madison
Square Garden in New York City, in
the presence of an audience of many
thousands of people, where Mr.. Bry-
an would endeavor to enhance his
reputation as an orator by the great.
est effort of his life. The indica.
tions are that Mr.. Bryan will secure
a very large support among the
workingmen of the East. Nothing
could be more erroneous than the
assumption that he stands no chance
of an election. The effect of Mr..
Bryan's nomination and of his mani
fest popularity soon began to make
itself felt upon the stock market.
The raids upon the Treasury's gold
reserve began again, and on July 10
