An Awful TRACED,


At Cleveland, in the western part of
Cass county, not far from the Kansas
state line, Mrs. Mary E. Frost drowned
her three children in rain barrel and
then cut her own throat with a razor.
The bodies were not discovered until
the next morning. The young victims
were Ella, aged six years; Carrie, aged
three years and six months, and Willie,
aged one year. The mother was evil
denta1ly demented, as no cause is
known for the deed. Her family re-
lations were satisfactory, so far as any
one knew. This is the second family
the unfortunate husband and father,
Mark L. Frost, has lost at one blow.
Only few years ago, on this same
place, his wife and several children
were poisoned by drinking water from
a well on the premises in which some
poisonous ingredient had fallen by ac-
cident.

BRYAN AND sEWALL.

The Democratic national convention
at Chicago last week nominated Will
lam Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska for
President of the United States, and
Arthur Sewall, of Maine, for Vice-Pres-
ideut.
Mr.. Bryan went to the convention
with no boomers and little expectation
that he would,be nominated. Thurs
day he made speech for free silver
that fairly electrified the convention.
1t was so eloquent and inspiring that
it at once created a sentiment for him.
and by Friday the desire to have HIM
as leader had grown to such an eX-
tent that on the first ballot he received
1876 votes. On the fifth ballot the del
egates stampeded to him and he was
nominated amidst tremendous enthus-
iasm. His single speech Of Thursday
gave him the nomination. Saturday
the convention concluded its work by
nominating Arthur Sewall, Of Name
for Vice President.

ocrat.
The REGISTER will support the tick
ct nominated at Chicago. The candi-
dates are men Of unblemished charac-
ter and of proven ability. We do
not endorse the platform as a whole,
nor can We believe that all that it rec
ommends is for the best interests Of
the people. That platform, however,
will not be made law save in modi-
fed form, and the more conservative
Democrats should be in an attitude
where they can help prune it down.
The Chicago convention was composed
of an earnest. honest, enthusiastic part
ofthe Democratic party, men who were
firm in the belief that they are doing
the best for the people. 1t was not a
gathering Of political manipulatOrs, or
of monopolists, or of those who sought
personal ends. We believe in the pa
triotism of that convention and we
accept the result without surrendenng
our views as to the details.
The platform declares for the free
coinage Of silver at the ratio of l6 to
!; opposes the issuing of bonds de-
clares for tariff for revenue only and
demands economical administration OF
government affairs favOrs the income
tax; opposes life tenure in public Office
and is against third term for Pres
