M. .waliing-wiiliam Wood, Arrested at
south Bend, Taken TO Cincinnati by Do
tectIves-Jackson and the sacheL
CINCINNATI, Feb. 7.-Scott jackson. ac.
cused Of the murder OF Pearl Bryan OF
Greencastle, Ind, whose headless body
was found near Fort Thomas, KY, has
confessed his guilt, and he duplicates
Alonzo NJ. Walling. Walling has also
confessed TO personal knowledge OF the
murder OF the girl Walling tries to lay
the whole blame ON jackson. jackson on
the contrary, while he admits his own
guilt, takes pains 10 implicate Walling.
The sachel, which the murdered woman
brought here on Jan. 2H, was shown To
jackson TO examine the blood stains In
1t. He would not quite admit that tho
head had been ia the sachel but said IL
looked as If had been there.
Would soon Become n Mother.
Pearl Bryan gould have become
mother in four months Jackson says
William Wood Is responsible for her con.
dition. She arrived here at the Cincnna-
Il, Hamilton and Dayton depot on Tues
day night Jan. 2s, at o'clock. John
Bell took her TO the Indiana house. and
by her orders notified Jackson She told
Belli that IL jackson did not come to see
her Walling would. jackson says in his
confession that she came here TO have an
abortion performed. He implies that Wal
ling was the man that procured II
Meantime ne admits that she was killed
In the attempt TO perform the operation.
| Neither AloI 20 Walling nor Jackson arc
| specific In their statements nc this writing
as 20 exactly where and how the crime
was performed Both agree IL was com
mitted last Friday night. Walling Is
| the more frank in his statements. Jack
son speaks stolidly, but looks as though
| he would burst with remorse. His eyes
| are lusterless and leaden
Throw the Blame Upon Each other.
More and more the attitude OF jackson
and Wallng is that each tries TO cast upon
the other the onus Of the actual murder
| While doing so they make statements
clearly showing the guilt OF both.
They naturally avoid giving the
main story. When Wood ar
rives IL Is thought one or both Of them
will be ready to make clean breast OF it,
and telLthe whole horrible truth. Wall

BULK GOES TO MORGAN

Of the New Bonds.
WORK OF SCHEDULING THE BIDS.

Until II Is Completed No Exact Informa-
tion Can lie Given Out, but Bids Lower
Than Morgan's VIII Not BE Accepted
Anti-Prize Fight Bin Passed-Money for
Coast Defenses--Secretary smith Advo-
Gates Foreclosure ON the Pacific Roads.
WASHINGTON, Feb. THE work OF
scheduling and classifying the bids
opened Wednesday was resumed Thurs
day, and until the task is completed no
Information OF an exact and definite
character can be obtained as to the
amounts bid for at each of the several
rates, or as TO how low rate will be ac-
copied. The bid OF j. Z. Morgan and his
associates undoubtedly will be accepted
to large amount, variously estimated at
from S45,000000 to 500, 100000. In any
event it can be stated that all legitimate
bids at rate above that submitted by
Mr. Morgan (s1l0 6677) will be accepted
and that all bids below that rate will bo
rejected. Ii was expected by the treasury
officials that the secretary would be able
TO exercise some discretion in the accept-
ance of bids and therefore would be In a
position to give the preference to parties
who would agree To obtain their gold
from abroad.
Treasury omcials Gratified.
The fact, however, that all bids higher
than that made by Mr.. Morgan must be
accepted precludes the possibility of his
making any discrimination whatever, ex-
cept in rare cases where the bidder shows
that he has foreign gold on tho way here
and asks for a slight extension of time in
which to make his deposit In cases OF
this character it is believed the secretary
will grant tho requests. The treasury
officials are especially gratifled at the sue
cess of the popular subscription feature of
the loan, and stated that while the sched-
ules of the bidders undoubtedly will show
a very large percentage Of banks and
monied institutions, 1t Is indisputably
true that in very many cases, and possi'
bly, in majority of them, the banks act
as agent of private individuals, who are
the real purchasers. This is shown to be
true by an instance cited at the time oil
the last subscription issue.

found thai the firm acted for four large In
terror banks and each OF them in turn
acted in part for number OF country
banks and they for individual customer
that the bonds were finally distributed
among several hundred private parties
This will be the result, it is bclieued, In
very large number of cases OF bids fo
the present issue. 1t is also believed tina
| the certainty that no bid can DO accepte'
at rate lower than 1l0t617 will have th
effect Of Immediately releasing large
quantities of gold which have been &C
cumulated by unsuccessful bidders HAY
ing no further use for their surplus hold
ings it is argued that large portion OF
will find its way into the sub-treasuries.

DELP SNOW IN ELIZABETH.
Fifteen Inches on the Level --Ejgh
Inches in Newark.

ELIZABETH, n. j., April Tho
greatest snow storm IN years has been
raging here since Z o'clock this morn
ing, and up to sund0wn fifteen inches
had fallen on the level.
The storm is a peculiar one in that it
is almost entirely local. Railway, six
miles south of here, was enjoying sun
shine and fair weather ct noon, when
it showed hardest in Elizabeth. The
snow belt did not exterd further south
of here than Linden. Only q few scat
tered flakes are falling to night, and it
looks as If the storm is about over. The
temperature remained at 33 degrees all
day.
NEWARK, n J., April THE heav-
lest April now storm recorded here in
years fell to day. The snow began
coming down early this morning, and
continued to fall steadily until tonight.
Up to noon four inches had fallen, and
at shutdown double that was recorded.
The temperature was at 81 degrees all
day.
AsBURY PARK. N, j., April IA
snow storm set in early this morning
and continued until late to night. Dur
ing the day at least five inches of snow
came down, but melted almost as fast
as it fell.

Yours f~raternally,
R. w. FITCH, Sec'y.

The managers of the telegraph me-
nopoly have for years counted on the
support Of Senators and congressman
from the Southern States, on the basis
of a cry Of paternal government and
that it would violate the Democratic
doctrine Of anti paternal government,
the enactment of a genuine postal tele-
graph law. Hon. Walter Clark, one
of the Judges of the Supreme Court of
North Carolina, has by his advocacy
done more than any other man to break
down the force of that appeal to South
ern men in Congress. Judge Clark de-
serves a place on the Supreme Bench
of the United S;ates.-San Francisco
Star.

no man unless he would support u
demands as laid down in u platform.
l regard MI. Kestler's views as incon-
sistent and absurd as his statement
that he was born 8 Populist, wanted to
be buried in a Populist coffin and
wanted to be q Populist angel. The
good book teaches u5 that there will be
no such relations IL heaven.
And again, Mr.. Kestler says our
noble Chairman says we Co-0parated
in "a to secure an honest election law
and home rule. He says it ia just as
important to cooperate in 90 to hold
these things. There is no need of such
fusion. When victory is in sight, and
we have already the balance Of power,
we can hold what we have and guard
the peoples interest in the future with
so, coo voters. We can fight the battle
cut on principles end get in the mid
die Of the road and stay there. With
our demands we will be sure to win
so, 600 recruits, which would insure US
6 glorious victory.
May God continue to bless our noble
Chairman and Senator Butler for the
noble work ne has. done and the inter
est he has taken in his people, and
make him 6 second Noses to deliver
his people from the bonds of oppres
sion and bum,n slavery. Success TO

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
RICHLANDS N. 9.
I have just read Mr.. Keetler's letter
iu The PROGRESSIVE FARMER. He says
his letter to the goldbug organ Char
l0tte Observer, in which he advocated
complete co operation with gOldoug
Republicans, az the wisest course for
he Populis!s to pursue IN the coming
campaign, seems TO have met popular
favor all over the State. He says the
people had already decided the matter.
and that he had felt the pulse Of the
tOIlers of our State, and he Was sure
they would be satisfied with nothing
else, and that they love their prjnci-
pies no less and their party no more by
1T either. Such q course would be sui
ciGal 70 the principles of the PGpul!sts,
and would be q complete surrender or
sell out to the Il publicans for q few
petty Offices. l have been through
Jones, Lnnoir and in Green, and
haven't found that people have decided
that way, 0 their pulse beating In
union with his. We will ret be salts
fed with Treasurer Kestlcr's plan OF
fusion. He seems to be following the
dictations of Senator PritChard. I
have heard several prominent Demo
Gratis say our principles were right
and they were willing to go with us,
out the soup was too thick and mud
dy with goldbug Republicans, such as
Senator Pritchard and others who
would vote for Reed or Mckinley for
President when they favor high pro
lection and believe in a single stan
dard or goldbasis.
Treasurer Kestler says the difference
between Senator Butler and himself
was that Butler wanted to run a non
partisan ticket, while he advocates an
uuc additional fusion ticket with gold
bug Republicans, and denounces Chair
man Butler for running his ticket in
the interest of the people and on prin
| ciple, while he advocates his fusion
ticket for selfish policy. Chairman
Buffers plan would gain votes for q
a President who is friendly to the
white metal and elect US a President in
so instead of 1900, with Mr.. Kestler's
plan. Would hat we had mere such
men as Chairman Butler.
We Populists can't afford to vote for
goldbug or any candidate who will
vote for a goldbug President, or any
other officer, down to township con-
stable, without sacrificing our princi-
pies. l say we will not.
Mr.. Kestler mentions the Rapubli
cans and Populists as our two parties
My friends, we left the Democratic
party because they would not grant
our demands, and were unfaithful to
the pledges they made to the people.
Neither was the Republican party in
favor Of our demands, nor are they
yet. Hence, we formed a party of our
own and pledged ourselves to vote for
