If the Gilliss Opera House would have
held them. David OVermyer of Kansas
might have spoken to as many people
last night as We're ia the parade yester-
day afternoon. The G4illiss Opera House
could not hold the crowd. however. and
hundreds and even thousands were
turned away. The house was crowded
and men and women fairly hung ON to
SET q chance TO hear. TT was q great
ovation to the speaker himself. and lit
was a splendid Indication of ahe polite
cal sentiment of Kansas City Chair
man Sebrea of the county committee
introduced w. Ewing Hall as chairman
and his brief remarks in favor of Bry-
am and free silver gave the crowd its
first opportunity to let out its pent up
enthusiasm. The close of each sentence
was the signal for the widest cheering
and at every mention of the name OF
Bryan the house shook
The speaker of the evening was given
an ovation that visibly affected him
Every man i'm the great crowd had pro-
vided himself with an American flag
and when the speaker came to the
front of the stage the audience arose
and the house became a sea Of waving
flags
Mr. Overmyer began by pointing out
the great importance of the present
campaign He said that it was con-
test between humanity and aggregated
property He pointed out how behind
Mckinley were arrayed all the enemies
OF the people. When I'm vivid language
he reviewed Mare Hanna's record as
an oppressor of labor. and said that
there is a trail of labor's blood where
ever the foot of Marc Hanna has trod. -
the laboring men, who composed the
great bulk of the audience could not
contain themselves. and it was some
time before he could proceed
Mr.. OVermyer gave a clear Drasenta-
ton of the silver question. which was
listened to with the closest attention.

E. C. Little Accepted Then Gold Com
mittee Backed Down.

Olathe. Oct. 26.-The silver forces held
an enthusiastic rally of about 900 peo-
PIE at Olathe. johnson county, last Sat
urday. Ed q. Little was the orator OF
the day Mr.. Little made a powerful
address.
The most important feature of the
day was the refusal by the chairman of
the Republican county central COM
mittee To have R. p. Welch meet Ed G.
Little in Joint debate after he himself
had issued the challenge. The facts
are as follows. About the first of last
county central committee issued q chal-
lenge to the secretary Of the Peoples
Party county central committee chal-
longing Ed @. Little to meet r. y.
Welch in joint discussion on the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at Is to
urday night, October "a, MT. Welch to
speak one hour, then Mr.. Little speak
one and a half hours and Mr.. Welch to
close with h.tlf hour.
The Peoples Party committee not
knowing Ar. Little's plan for further
or reject tine challenge until Mr. Little
arrived when he promptly authorized
d. C. Lercher, chairman of the meeting
to accept the challenge. stating that as
the Republican chairman had issued
the challenge and named the subject,
time and place that he as the challeng-
ed party reserved the right to name the
terms which would be that he (AfrLit-
tle) should have the opening and clos
ing speech
This the Republican chairman at first
accepted but after some consultation
with party friends withdrew his con
sent, thereby putting his party in posi-
ton of nunking, after he himself had
issued the challenge and the silver peO-
pie had accepted it on fair terms.

Coin Tricks.

Begin by rolling up the sleeves so that
the arms are barred. Hold the left hand
extended, palm upwards, and on the tip
of each finger and thumb balance coin.
Place the right hand on top of the left,
so that the money is held between the
tips of the fingers Of the two hands.
| Now turn the hands until the back of the
right hand is towards the audience. Fix
your eyes on the ceiling, as if that had
something to do with the trick; move
the hands rapidly upward and down
ward twice, and while doing so bring the
tips of the fingers together, causing the
coins to lap over one another. Then
surround them, as it were, with the tips
of the left-hand fingers and thumb, and
quickly slide them down into the right
palm, where they are to be held by press
ing on them with the tip of the left
thumb; finally, at almost the same mo-
ment, make third upward move, keep
ing the hands together and the eyes fixed
above; the hand will appear to be empty
and the coins to have vanished. During
the applause which always follows this
trick, quietly withdraw your thumb,
close the right hand over the money, and
put it noiselessly away, either in your
pocket or other receptacle.
The mere learning of move like palm
ing is hardly interesting unless it avails
for some trick. AS 1.-The Miser" is not
suitable for all occasions, here is little
trick which will answer to show my anna
teur friends proficiency:
Place two half-dollars on table. Pick
up one with the right hand, palm it, and
pretend to place it in the left hand. To
do this naturally, let the tips of the right.
hand fingers touch the left hand, and at
the same time close that hand and draw
the other away. To the general specta'
tor it will appear as if the coin really re-
manned in the left hand. Turn the left
wrist, so that the back of the hand will
be toward your audience.
Now pick up the second coin with the
tips of the right-hand fingers and thumb
cry "Pass!" Clink the two coins to
gether, and it will seem as if the left-hant
coin had at that moment passed to thu
right Harper's Round Table.
