SOUTH BEND, IND, Aug. 13.--Josiah

teller at the First National Bank, the
oldest and wealthiest in the city, shot him.

deed was done at o'clock in the after
noon. but the fact was not discovered un-
til night. His death disclosed the fact
that he was defaulter to large amount.
Bank Examiner Vance arrived here very
Unexpectedly yesterday and called at the
First National Bank. 1t happened that
Kelley, who always ran over the deposit
ledger with the examiner, could not do so,
and the matter had to be lett with Charles
Ziegler, who has had charge of that ledger
since 1891, Kelley having it before that
time.
In this examination the examiner dis
covered a big discrepancy and went at
once to Cashier Kim ball and asked him to
explain it.
Kimball referred him to Kelley, who
had seemed somewhat disturbed by the
sudden appearance of the examiner Kel-
ley was busy at the time and Vance went
to another bank, saying that he would soon
return.

peared without coat or hat. At first moth
ing was thought of it, but later those at
the bank became worried about his nom
appearance and telephoned to his brother.
The brother could not find him, and finally
went to his residence, where his body was
found in the basement with bullet hole
through the heart.
From the dead mans pockets were
taken letters to Bank Examiner Vance,
to Captain Ed B. Reynolds, another
friend, and also to his wife and brother.
The letter to the examiner said there was
q shortage of $24, 10S, which he had been
able to conceal since 1891 by going over
the books with the examiner. There was
nothing missing since 1891. He said that
his estate would make good the loss, he
being insured heavily.
Kelley, who had been connected with
the bank as trusted employe for twenty
seven years, was society leader and was
AZ years of age. He was man of luxu-
rious tastes and moved in the best So
ciety.
Kelley's defalcatio will not cripple the
First National Bank, as it is one of the
wealthiest in Northern Indiana.

TOXIC, JAPAN. July 3i.-The second
insurrection in Formosa is now practically
over 1t commenced on June % in the
center of the southern part of the island.
There, in the hilly and virtually unex-
plored districts, disaffected elements of
the inhabitants have always been able to
lie concealed, for the immense difficulty of
reaching their places OF retreat secured
them against attack. Recently, enoour-
aged, perhaps, by the immunity they en-
ioyed, they grew bold, and their repeated
acts of brigandage finally induced tine
Japanese to send a small detachment OF
soldiers against them, but the attempt
proved unsuccessful, owing to the almost
inaccessible character of the region.
The brigands, gathering fresh courage
fro m this failure. assumed the offensive.
Finding the japanese totally nnprepared
and being moreover REINFORCED by mall
contents from the plains they achieved
considerable success at first, capturing
several small towns and driving ont the
Japanese garriSons. But i'm mmediately on
receipt of this intelligence at headquar-
tiers troops were dispatched southward
and by July s the Japanese were able to
assume the offensive. After that the in
surgents were soon chased from the field
and by the Goth of the month all the posi-
tons were recaptured. Up 10 the date OF
latest advices the Japanese casualties
totaled hfty-one killed and seYenty-three
wounded.
A resolute attempt is being made by the
Chinese in Formosa to convict their con-
querors of the most terrible brutalities,
and to prove that the insurrection owed
its origin entirely 10 unbearable Japanese
cruelties, Every story of cruelty, how
ever, comes from Chinese source, TACT
in itself sufficient to vitiate the informa-
ton. Precisely similar tales were invented
bv the Chinese during the insurrection
last January But the region OF disturb
ance being then in the north OF the island
and therefore within range of foreign OBJ
servation, testimony was soon forth
coming to establish the complete false
hood of the charges.
Indeed, during the early months of
their occupation of ForEosa the Japanese
were universally blamed for too much
lenieney, and warned that their attitude
would be misconstrued as an evidence OF
weakness. The outbreak in January
proved the truth of these representations,
and furnished also further evidence OF
Chinese ferocity, for wherever Japanese
could be found he was ruthlessly MUIR
dered aud his corpse horribly mutiiated.
A common practice on the part OF the
disaffected was to disguise themselves as
rusties, who, whenever strong party OF
japanese passed by, would be seen work
ing peacefully in the fields, but whenever
a small detachment OF troops or Jew
travellers came in sight these pretended
farmers would rushed to their concealed
arms and proceed to kill without mercy.

No Fusion in Wyominq.

ROCK SPRINGS, WYo.. Aug. 13.-The
Democr State Convention met to-day.
Walter R. Stall of Laramie County was
elected permanent chairman. The busi-
ness before the convention was the nomi-
nation of Congressman, Justice of the
State Supreme Court, District Judge in
each judicial district and the selection of
State central committee.
The convention indorsed the National
platform OF Democratic party, adopted
at Chicago, declared strongly for Bryan
and free silver and denounced the none
tary plank in the Republican platform.
L. G. Tidball. representing the Populists,
desired conference with the convention,
and such being granted, demanded that
the convention indorse William Brown of
Sheridan County, the Populist nominee
for Congress. The convention declined to
do so by vote of 88 to 16 and adjourned
till this evening, when the matter will
again be taken up
This evening the convention nominated
Ex-Governor John L. Osborne for Con-
gress and G. II. Burrett OF Johnson County
for Supreme Judge. A strong silver plat
form was adopted and telegram sent by
the convention to Bryan pledging him the
eiecto oral vote of Wyoming.

Chicago Meeting.
CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 13.-Hale John
son OF Newton, ILL.,, was formally notified
in the auditorium OF the ASSOCIATION
building tonight of his nomination by
the Prohibition convention at Pittsburg
for the Office of Vice. President of the
United States. Mr.. Johnson was nomi-
mated for Governor of Illinois by the Pro-
hibitionists last April. but resigned when
the higher nomination came. There was
small audience, but it was not lacking
in enthusiasm. The heat probably kept
many away.
Hon. John Fl. Lamont of Rockford, ILL.,,
presided. Rev. Oliver w. Stewart of
Mackinac, ILL.,, president of the Illinois
Christian Endeavor Union, made an elo-
quent speech as chairman of the notiica-
ton committee, apprising the nominee OF
the honor conferred upon him. He said
no greater calamity could befall the Nation
than to have the party pass out OF exist
ence. 1t represented the hope of the un-
employed, although they might not
know 1t.
In accepting the nomination Mr., John
son scathingly arraigned the old parties
ON the charge of responsibility for con-
tlnuance of the liquor traffic, its growth
and ITS power in politics, and for deceiv-
lng, the people by promising good times
with each new National ad dministraton,
and not fulfilling such promises. He
agreed with those who believed a return
to the free coinage OF silver was necessary
to keep the circulating meiium in proper
proportion to the population, but he did
not believe free coinage would bring per-
manent benefit. because more money
would be wasted in saloons. Addresses

portahce to warrant interference There
is no doubt but that Aguirre is response
bic for the present uprising of their fol-
lowers. If the Yaqui Indians have been
drawn into the muss, 1t was caused, no
doubt, by the natural Indian love of
trouble and the prospect of plumber.
81 believe that this like all previous up
risings under Santa Teresa, will be short
lived and not extend far beyond their
present confines. Should the Yaquis fur
ther down the river be drawn into the
fight, the trouble might last longer and
require greater efforts on the part OF the
authorities to suppress"
Santa Teresa was born on Palo Parad o
ranch, near No ales, Sonora. Her real
name is Teresa Urea. At the age of 10
years Teresa was disappointed in love.
Her faithlecs fance welded another dark
hued and black-haired maiden. Her low
er's intidelity was serious matter to
Teresa, and while Frustrated with nerv-
business she fell into trance or cataleptic
spell which lasted a whole week. Her
eyes were fixed and CLASSY as if in death,
yet she made show of breathing and her
pulse was slow and regular. Her parents
did not give up in despair, but forced
liquid nourishment down her throat,
which she mechanically swallowed. On
the eighth day she came out of her trance
and related to her wondering parents and
friends how she had been out of the body
and present with the saints and the de-
parted.
Immediately upon her recovery she
began her healing work. Her process is

IOWA,s DEMooRATIC GoLDITES
Preparing to Hold Contention on
august 26.

DES MONIES. Iowa, Aug. 13. = The
provisional State committee of the Iowa
Sound Money Democracy met here to-day
and called State convention of the Ma
tional Democratic party for August 26 in
this city. All the members of the COM
mitIee were present or represented by
proxy. The meeting was long, and it was
determined to have the convention dele
gate body, rather than a mass-gathering.
The call is addressed TO all Sound Money
Dem ocrats, and it recites that in 1860 a
great conspiracy came very near turning
the Democratic party over to the enemies
of the Government, and now another and
greater conspiracy has come near to turn
ing the party control over to the adherents
of reputation and National dishonor.
]. E. Markley of Mason City was named
for temporary chairman, and w. |. Babb
of Mount Pleasant will be recommended
for permanent chairman. The committee
took no action with reference to the ques-
ton of putting State and Congressional
tickets in the field. The unanimous
opinion, however, was that the Sound
Money Democratic ticket in the State
would be good move from every point of
view.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 13.-Three United
States Senators-Messrs. Shoup of Idaho,
Mitchell of Oregon and Nelson of Mime
sota-spent part OF to-day at the Republi-
can National headquarters and conferred
with Chairman Hanna on the organiza-
ton, plans and needs Of the party in their
respective States.
Senator Shoup is returning home from
an Eastern trip, prepared to lead the loyal
Republicans of Idaho in their fight against
boilers, Democrats and Populists on the
free-silver issue. He admits there is big
fight before him, but he told Mr.. Hanna
to count on Idaho in the Republican
column.
Senator Nelson, who has been making
numerous stump speeches in Minnesota,
principally among the Scandinavians,
said: 1.-The sober second thought of the
people in the farming communities of my
State will change the minds of many who
were first taught by the silverites. The
Republicans OF Minnesota will remain
loyal to their party principles and be
amenable to argument and common
sense on this money question. The State
is safely Republican"
Senator Mitchell is also on his way
home from the East and intends opening
the campaign vigorously as soon as he ar
rives. He said the tariff, in its relation to
wool especially, would play an important
part in the Oregon mpaign in McKin-
ley's favor. His judgment was that the
State would go Republican.
Referring to the Endorsement OF the Illi-
hxy ~ 81
party yesterday, Mr.. Hanna said to a re-
porter of the United Associated Presses:
MY theory is that these Popuhstic in
dorsements will drive away regular Demo-
cratic votes, but / don't know anything
about the net results. Ny policy is and
Will be that of non-interference with Pop
ulist conventions. In spite of reports to
the contrary I have never sent man nor
spent nickel to influence The Populists
one way or another. / think this is best
for the principles we espouse. New align
ments are being made, and for the best in
terests of our country the Republican
party will stand boldly within its nnes.'
Hanna said he had partly read Mr..
Bryan's speech of acceptance and made
this comment: II thought it very much
of skinner. From the general tone and
direction of the speech, contrasted with
the platform. it seems to me Mr.. Bryan is
trimming his sails to catch the Eastern
breeze of Democratic votes"
General Powell Clayton wired Perry
Heath to-day from New York, asking for
a copy of the Chicago convention proceed
ings, for the especial use of Benjamin
Harrison on the stump. There are no
copies in existence, aside from reports in
the Chicago daily newspapers and this
kind OF copy will be furnished the ex-
President.
