The Axial alfalfa tossers weren't 'in
it, with the Meeker cabbage huskers
playing ball on the Fourth, and the
former can lay the blame of their bad
defeat at their own door. AS the two
uines lined up at Meeker in the first
game OF the season they were about
equal in point of strength-Meeker had
the strongest field while AXial had much
the best battery, which gave the latter
Il little the best of it. But the boys from
the basin weren't satisfied with good
beginning and an even show for the
blue ribbon-they had to strengthen
their nine by the addition of Bennett,
Clark and others, and the result was a
defeat for the caggage huskers at Elk
horn. Our boys then took a tumble and
saw to it that they had nine for the
Fourth that was bound to beat anything
the alfalfa tossers might place in the
field. We are little big mossy here,
but when we wake up we can set a
pretty lively pace at anything.

The principal executive officials of the

Haines of the Southern States Freight As
ISOLATION that a special meeting of the as
sociation will be held at Atlanta Tuesday
next to consider the questions growing out
Of the rate war. Until this meeting is held
it is doubtful if any action by the roads in
terested will be taken. The call embraces
all southern roads between New York and
the Mississippi river, except the Seaboard
Air Line, which Is not a member OF the
association.
1t will take legal proceedings to deter
mine the situation in which Judge Speer' s
injunction will leave matters. 1t is the un-
derstanding of the railroad men that it
does not operate outside Of his district 1t
is also stated that the order can operate
only against tariffs which were in effect
on the date the injunction was issued. In
that event ten days must elapse from the
date of the injunction in order to restore
the rates, as that period of notice is neces-
Sary under the interstate commerce regu
lations. But on September IA, according to
the schedule filed today, these tariffs will,
be in effect unless the injunction is broad
enough to cover the new rates. The Legal
departments Of the roads are now consid-
ering this subject. 1t is stated at the
Southern offices that passenger rates are
being rigidly maintained by that road and
will continue SO to be.

DIscREDITs THE RUMoF
Secretary Edgerton Don't Think Second
Convention Will Be Called in Nebraska.
1t Would Not Be Recognized by the
Populist National COmmittee-NO
Fusion With Republicans.

Secretary Edgerton of the populist ma
tional committee read story this morning
that there was talk of calling. another
populist convention in Nebraska, his state.
for the purpose of putting out Bryan and
Watson electoral ticket. The secretary
talked on the subject, as well as on the
situation in some of the other western
states. He said:
Il do not give credence to the report that
there will be new state convention in
Nebraska for the purpose Of putting out a
Bryan and Watson ticket, for the reason
that Mr.. Watson has already been given
half Of the electors In that state. Neither
do believe that Mr.. Watson would advise
such a course. If such convention should
be called. however. it will not be recognized
by this committee.
"In regard to the Kansas situation. the
statement already sent out that this COM
mittee does not advise separate state con-
vention expresses our views fully
ID you fix the dates for Mr.. Watson's
speeches?"
Il had absolutely nothing to do with ap-
pointing Mr.. Watson's dates for Kansas
and Nebraska. They were sent out from
Atlanta. In fact. I had understood all the
time that he did not wish to leave Georgia
until after the state election
Referring again to Kansas and Nebraska,
Mr.. Edgerton said: Il do not think that
lHiS movement elCner IN Kansas or Ne
braska will assume proportions of any i'm
portance, but that matters can be amicably
adjusted in both states"
"Will there be fusion between the repub-
licans and populists in any state?"
while 1t is possible that in one or two
southern states there may be fusion on
certain portions Of the state ticket there
will be no fusion between the populists and
republicans on the electoral ticket in any
state In the Union: and. so far as heard
from. there will be fusion with the republi-
cans nowhere on congressional candidates.
The principles OF the peoples party and
those OF the republican party are dia-
metrically opposed. Republicanism stands
Tor monopoly. the gold standard and the
plunderer as against the producer. Popu-
lfsm stands for the rights of the common
people. for bimetallism and more money
and for the producer as against the plum
derer. There can be no union between these
two parties, and, II such an attempt should
be made 1t would be repudiated by the
honest populist voter.
There are only two sides in this cam
paign. One side Is for Bryan and free sill
yer. the other side is for Mckinley and the
gold standard. There is no middle of the
road The peoples party must be found
on one side or the other. If 1t is for Bryan,
IL should be for him in every state and
should do nothing to embarrass his candi-
dacy. There is too much at stake. The
rate OF the toilfng masses of America and
OF the whole world is hanging in the bal
ance. and in such fight as this the friends
OF humanity should be willing to sacrifice.
should be willing to do anything honorable
to defeat the forces of monopoly and the

the head, he had suffered stab wound
At . o'clock Dearborn regained conscious

the attack.
1t appears that he was assaulted at II
O'Clock last night as he was returning
home alone by man who jumped out
from dark alley and struck him on the
forehead with a blunt instrument. The
blow sent him to the ground, when the
assaliant, drawing a dagger. stabbed the
prostrate man three times in the region of
the heart. Tnen.s believing HIM to be
dead. Dearborn was thrown over the fence
into the adjacent yard. He soon lost con-
sciousnesS and was not discovered till early
this morning, after having lain in the wet
grass for six hours.
An examination Of his wounds showed
that the dagger stabs were not serious,
but that the blow on the head might re-
suit in concussion of the brain and prove
fatal.
Dearborn lapsed into Inconsistencies with
out having given a description Of his as
sailant. The police profess to believe that
the purpose Of the attack was not robbery,
but was instigared by some one opposed to
the A r. A. doctrine, which Dearborn ha
earnestly advocated. None of his money
or valuables were missing.
