were being contributed to the silver cause
by the silver mine owners in Colorado.
Mr.. Stevens appeared much amused. He
said the leaders of the movement for free
silver Are doing in Colorado just what
they are doing in the other States-solicit-
ing popular subscriptions from 10 cents
upward.
Many responses are being made TO these
appeals, but so far as he knew no con-
tribution of over 500 had yet been made
by any mine-owner in Colorado or else
where. No greater efforts were being
made in Colorado than in any other State.
So far as the National Committee furnish
ing assistance to the States, Stevens de-
clared the States are expected to help the
National Committee. He also asserted
tina. there were no wealthy silver mine
owners. The wealthy mine-owners are
those who own gold producers.
By way of disparagement of the Repub-
licans rejoicing over the election in the
State of Vermont the Democratic organ
iZation has given out statement calling
attention to the fact that the Vermont
platform was a stralght-out gold docu-
ment-"one that would nightly aid the
mugwump piutocrat gathering at Indian
apolis." The conclusion reached is that
there is excellent reason, perhaps, to
argue a gold gloom from the result in
Vermont, but when the issues presented
are considered it is difficult to see how
free silver. 10 to l, was interested at all in
the result"

WAS DAVIES LYNCHED 2
Peculiar Story Concerning the
Wrecker of an Iowa
Bank.
After Escape From Jail, 1t Is Said
He Was Shot by Enregsd
Farmers.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Sept. 4.-Nearly a
year ago. G. o. Davies, cashier and mana
ger of the Citizens Exchange Bank of
East Peru, Madison County, wrecked the
bank and disappeared with $4,000 of its
cash. He left absolutely nothing in the
little institution, which was private con-
Germ. Davies had come from the East with
good letters and a small amount of money
and started the bank. He was located in
New York after several months, where he
was running another bank in the same
way. He was found to be an old hand at
the business. He was brought back to
Madison County and locked in Jail. After
two months he and another prisoner
named Streeter escaped, digging out OF
the Jail.
Posses of the infuriated farmers of Madi-
son County went in search and caught
Streeter, but Davies was never found, I'M
less the sensational story which has Just
come out is true. 1t is said be was
lynched by the posse that caught Streeter
The story is told by man named Ed
Jones, who is now in Omaha. He was IN
the Madison County Jail at the time
Davies and Streeter escaped. He tells the
story that after Streeter was brought back
some vigllantes called on him and Jones
overheard their conversation. From 1T he
learned that Streeter ana Dawes had been
together when the posse came upon them
in the woods. The farmers shot Davies
fall OF lead and then buried him. Streeter
was spared because he swore never TO tell
what he knew OF Davies end.
This story has been known to Davies
relatives and the attorneys in the case for
two weeks. but has just become public.
The officers have been working on it and
are unable to develop much. There is
great lntATeSt in the StOrV from q fart
that an attempt was made to lynch
Davies when he was first put in jail, and
his life was not considered worth cent If
the people of the county ever got hands on
him. Streeter is now in the penitentia7y
and denies the story

Reports of BryGn's Secretary.
OMAHA, NEBR., Sept. 4.-The Evening
Bee, published by the Bee Publishing Com
pany, of which Edward Rosewater, di-
rector of the Chicago Associated Press, is
president, says editorially:
AS member of the Associated Press the Bee
was the first to demonstrate against The per-
version OF the service in the interest of Bryan
or any other candidate tor Office The func-
ton of the Associated Press is TO transmit the
news, not to circulate campaign literature and
pointed Mr.. Bryan's private secretary as its
agent to travel with Bryan and report his
movements and his utterances, it was TO have
been expected that every thing sent out about
the Popocratic candidate would be distorted
and magnified in his interest. Judged by the
sent out through the Associated Press from
this section, the tremendous ovations and
trtumphal receptions accorded Bryan in the
East are to be taken with large grains of salt
All the way across Iowa the imaginative
private secretary peopled every station with
thousands and every water-tank ana railroad
crossing with eager hundreds giving vent to
their exuberant enthusiasm. Such reports
were doubtless highly gratifying to the silver
organs west OF the Rockies, but they were an
imposition upon Associated Press members as
well as upon the public 1t is for this reason
that the Bee is exercising its privilege to keep
its reports of Bryan's Wanderings and vapor-
ings within reasonable limit. AS previously
stated, the bulk OF the Bryan speeches are
mere repetitions OF the same old song. When
ever Bryan gives expression TO anything oriei-
nal Or new or meets with any incident that is
paign, readers of the Bee will have all the
particulars.

MILWAUKEE, WIS.,, Sept. 4.-The big

closed up shop and is out of business. 1t
went out of existence as noiselessly as it
came into the world. It died at Minneap-
oils on Tuesday. The com bine, which was
formed solely for the purpose of regulat-
ing the prices of -four, failed of accom-.

of the large millers who cut prices indis-
criminately whenever they felt like it.

the combine for selling under the scale
every time there was good-sized order in
sight.
All the millers for the Northwest. with
one exception, were in the combine The
trust was organized about nine months
ago. All of the millers agreed that the
sharp competition which was then exist
ing was ruinous to the business, and the
association was formed to do away with it.
The combination was in existence only
short time when there were loud COM
plants that some of the millers were Sc
cretly violating the agreement. These in
cluded some of the largest of the Mime
apolis mills. They acknowledged the corn
and paid their fines, and then went to
work and cut the prices again.

Upon Returning Rome,
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Sept. Am in
formal but hearty reception was given
Senator John M. Palmer on his return
home from Indianapolis, where he was
nominated for the Presidency as the can
didate of the National Democratic party.
Although the reception was under the
auspices of the local sound-money Demo
cratic club it was non-partisan in its ma
tnre. Senator and Mrs. Palmer were met
at llliopols by committee of citizens OF
all parties headed by Colonel n B. Wig
gins, ex-Mayor Charles E. Hay, State SEN
ator Shumway and G. S. Brown.
AS the nominee stepped from the train
he was showered with roses thrown by the
ladies on the platform, and the compli-
ment was gracefully acknowledged by
him. The party were taken in two car
riages, each drawn by four magnificent
black horses, and, followed by about 1000
citizens marching behind a band, pro-
ceeded to General Palmer's residence,
where Senator Shumway in few appro-
pirate words welcomed the nominee in the
name of his neighbors and congratulated
him upon his nomination. Mr.. Palmer
responded briefly, saying that he felt that
this demonstration in his honor was a
purely non-partisan expression of neigh
borly regard, and not even his nominate on
at Indianapolis was so pleasing to him.

WILL ENTER THE CAMPAIGN
In Sections Where the Cause Is Hope
less an Electoral Ticket Will
Not Be Named.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Sept. 4--Chair-
man Bynum of the National Convention
of the Sound Money party announced this
morning that the headquarters would be
located In Chicago, with branch in New
York. This decision was reached at a
conference of the leaders in the movement
held in the quarters of the National COM
mittee in the Grand Hotel this afternoon.
Bynum will name the executive committee
in few days, and active work will be
done. Literature will be circulated and
speakers put in the field. Both candidates
will be called upon to make some speeches,
but no oratorical tour will be attempted.
L: is conceded by the active men in the
movement that the main fight is to be
made in the States of Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin, and
Chicago was decided to be the best location
from which to direct the campaign.
Mr.. Bynum, when seen by representa-
tive of the United Associated Presses, was
in happy frame of mind. He said:
THE success of the sound-money con-
Vention has far, far exceeded the most
sanguine expectations of its promoters.
consider its achievement the marvel of
American political history. The organi-
cation perfected is nc temporary affair.
We have planted the seed of true Democ-
racy. and glorious will be the productive
fruit. The banner of Democracy has been
at last properly inscribed, and we will
CALAMITY march behind it to ultimate
success. 1t is my opinion that the ticket
nominated yesterday, representing as it
does the blue and the gray, signifying
union forever, could not have been i'm
proved. The character of the two men is
beyond reproach. They represent true
soldiery and honest public servants"
In reply to question as to how many
of the States represented in the conven-
Mr.. Bynum said: 81 think nearly every
State will do so. OF course in a few Sec
tions where the cause is absolutely hope
less, no electoral ticket will be named.
We Will make our fight where it will do
the most good. Although it is too early
to give any figures of our strength, still
believe 100000 votes is a conservative
estimate of what Palmer and Buckner will
receive in Novem ber.''
At meeting of the State Central Com
mittee Of the National Democratic party
to-day, a decision was reached to the effect
that it would be ''inexpedieut" to put
sound money State ticket i'll the field.
Chairman Bynum this afternoon APP
pointed four mem bers Of the new National
Executive Committee of the National
Democratic party. They are: W. b.

a few remarks, to which Ii responded
through his interpreter in written speech.
He said:
Since the establishment of our treaty rela-
lions there have always been evidences OF good
friendship between our two countries. but all
these evidences, dare say, have now peen
eclipsed by the cordially and warmth DIS
played by the American Government and citl-
zens in welcoming and receiving my speclal
mission. Though l regret my time does not
allow me to make as long sojourn in this
country rs 1 wish in order to appreciate more
fully the accomplishment and progress OF the
United States of America as a nation, cannot
help during nv brief visit here TO be struck
and impressed by the liberty and freedom en-
loved by the people; by the welfare and pros
perity in their industrial and commercial pur-
suits; by the characteristics of their classical,
historical, philosophical and poetical litere-
ture; by the manner of application OF the
scientific discoveries and inventions for pro-
noting the happiness of mankind and by the
display of their artistic taste in the architec-
ture of the public buildings, sculpture aud
paintings OF historical figures and facts which
my old friend, ]. w. Foster, has been kind
enough to show me.
These impressions I will carry home, not
only as augmentations to my store of knowl-
edge of the points of Western modern civiliZa-
ton, but as the means of enlightening the
millions I represent and intoxicating the intro.
duction of those very means and ends of civil
ization into China and amalgamating the old
est civilization of the far East with the most
modern of the extreme West. Gentlemen, 1
propose the toast to the friend of China, Hon.

afternoon completed the nomination of
fusion Presidential and State tickets. By

ernor, and nominated Hon. Robert B..
Smith of Helena. They were also given a
