of this city. were the only witnesses
called. Commissioners Morrison. Glenn
ents, Knapp and Yomans were present,
and Judge Day OF Washington was at
torney for the company. The object OF
the Investigation In to find out just how
the reconsigning practice at Kansas
City serves to cut the rates on grain.
All the witnesses acknowledged the ex-
istence Of this practice and the two
railroad officials said also that the
scheme was open to illegal practices.
The commission has summoned Joint
Agent Maegley OF Kansas City to ap-
pear and produce all books, correspond
ence and other documentary evidence
OF his Office to show the modus operandl
Of this practice. AS Maegley's evidence,

Abilene. Kansas. Aug. 4.-Most OF the
delgates to the populist state conven-
tion have arrived and have been busy
to-day with caucuses and conferences.
The majority Of sentiment seems to IA
vor Bryan and Sewall electors. but a
strong following, led by John w. Brie-
denthal. Harrison Kelley and j. NJ. AL
len, are fighting for Bryan and Wat
son ticket. Others favor a division of
the ticket. five electors to each party.
with possibly a democrat and a free
silver republican on the state ticket.
Such arrangements. however, would on
ly come by the grace Of the democrats,
who. Il Is admitted by the more prac-
tical Of the populist politicians, are in
a poston to dictate terms to to electors.
They may take all or divide the ticket
as they may see fit. IL Is only for the
sake OF appearing to keep faith with the
populists Of the Southern states. 1t is
stated by some. that the proposition to
give Watson representation on the cleo
toral ticket finds favor. Even the advo-
Gates Of Watson electors say that his
nomination was unfortunate. and they
will bow to the will Of the majority. It
Is expected the democratic conference
committee will reach here by early
train tomorrow and that the question
will then be speedily settled.

Omaha, Aug. A special to the bee
from Lincoln says: When w. j. Bryan
leaves for New York next Friday evening
he will carry with him draft OF the
speech he intends to use before the noti-
fication committee In Madison Square
Garden. He has devoted considerable
time to It already. but will put rev
finishing touches on It before II can ne
declared complete. 1t will occupy De-
tween an hour and an hour and half IN
delivery, will discuss the Chicago plat
form in detail and give his Interpretation
thereof
He is very indignant at the charge that
he and those who stand with him on the
Chicago platform are to be classed as an
archists or aim to break down any OF the
laws of the country. In his New York
speech he will roundly denounce the ac-
cusation. Those who have been taken In
to his confidence say his speech will as
tonish the country. 1t contains NUMBER
of new and pleasing metaphors never De-
fore used on any stage and having notn-
ing in common with crowns OF thorns'
or "crosses Of gold"
Il is understood that Richard p. Bland
will accompany Bryan to New York. APP
pear with him at Madison Square ana

will make no set speeches along the
route, but will indulge In informal talks
to the people from the rear platform OF

London. Aug. t.-In the house OF lords
tonight that body, by vote OF rs to

ers' bill which the government resisted,
as II would endanger the passage Of the

land bill will suffer considerably at the
hands of the Irish landlord peers.

indianapolis. Ind. Aug. At can be an
nounced authoritatively that the present
democratic state convention will not con-
slider any proposition to divide electors In
this state. Inquiry at both populist and
democratic headquarters show that there
is no probability Of the two parties COM
Ing together in state or national affairs.
SO far as can be learned the populist
committee. which was empowered to deal
with the question of electors. has not
fixed the time for meeting. The demo-
cratic managers take the position that the
populists have nothing to offer in return
for anything the democrats might con-
sent to give.

French explorer, looking out toward
the west from what is now called Bu-
ford's Mountain, exclaimed. ''Une belle

view has been applied to the little val
lev, which nestles at the foot of the
Ozark range of mountains and is sur
rounded by it on almost all sides. Some.
it is said, have thought this to be the
Garden of Eden. While this cannot
be true, yet it is valley beautiful, in
deed.
This valley is about fifteen miles
long, and ranges in width from two to
seven miles. Along the north and
east Is a chain of hills of almost uni
form size. Between two OF the hills
on the north is situated the remains of
the old Springfield iron smelling fur
mace. the first constructed west of the
Mississippi. At the time it was in use,
the iron ore was dug at Iron Mountain,
hauled there in OK wagons. dis
tance of about sixteen miles, to be
smelted and brought out in the shape
of pig iron, and then was hauled back
over the same road to the Springfield
forge, situated on Cedar Creek, one
mile south of Caledonia, where It was
hammered into malleable iron. The
most part of it was consumed by the
blacksmiths of the surrounding coun-
try, but any overproduction was taken
to the river at Ste. Genevieye landing
and shipped to various points.

Ed. RegiSter-Since my last commu-
nication to the REGISTER. two gentle
men from South Dakota have been in
this locality. 1t appears that they had
been duped by a real estate agent in
Chicago, who sold to them 160 acres
of land, lying in this (34) township;
which land the said agent represented
to be good land, 60 acres being in a
high state of cultivation, 100 acres be-
Ing fine prairie land, unbroken.
The fact is, there is not an acre OF
land, in said tract, that can be cultiva-
ted; and the whole tract would be a
dear bargain at 800.

Thursday night, The Club began life
with 81 members. Joseph Kinch was
| elected President and John Dobbs Sec
retary. Speeches were made by sew
eral members of the club. There
were several Democrats present who
patiently listened to them, although
denounced as Popocrats and told that
the respectability of the party had all
left il and was now fighting it as strong
ly as were the Republicans.
On the night following the Demo-
Gratis met in the same hall and organ
lied with 80 members. A copy of the
proceedings is herewith inclosed.
The Honorable Joel Hines Of Pied
mont addressed the meeting. His ad-
dress was a masterly effort in defense
of the Chicago platform, and was fre-
quently interrupted with applause. Mr.
Hines is an eloquent speaker and is
possessed of a marvellous memory for
dates and figures. He spoke on the
same topics at Des Arc last evening,
where club of III members was or
ganized, including several Republi-
cans.

head might have been hurt worse than
he thought it was. The storm of
cheers that followed this remark were

stored Mr.. Hines proceeded to answer
Mr.. CrOwly's structures on his first
speech, and literally skinned him alive.
