1.-THE REAL Mr.. BRYAN"
HIS GOODNESS AND GENTlEkESS IN RE.
CENT RAILROAD WRECK.
His Graceful Response to the Magnanmious
Tribute Paid Him by the Mail
and Express.

New York, Sept. 17.-Wm. J. Bryan,
in Il letter published in the Mail and Ex-
press to-day refers dis follows to a re-
cent editorial i'll that paper regarding
Mr.. Bryan's work in the Kansas railroad
disaster:
II beg to thank you for your generous
words, but am afraid Your praise out
runs the merit of my work on that oc-
caSion. l did no more than the others
who escaped uninjured, and none of us
did more than could have been expected
from any person under like circum-
stances. Some of the wounded ones were
suffering intensely and no one could have
refused any assistance which could pos
sibly be rendered. 1t is often the lot Of
public men to be criticized when they do
not deserve it, and | suppose the unmer-
tied commendatiOn which they some
times receive is necessary to form Just
average. However, / appreciate the char
ity which you, as a political opponent,
have shown.
Very truly yours,
"WM. J. BRYAN,
Lincoln, Neb., SeptA Is, 1897"
The editorial referred to was in part
as follows:
His coolness, gentleness and helpful
service in the presence of so much con-
fusion, suffering and death disclosed new
depths In his character to which every
true American will pay a hearty tribute
of respect and gratitude. 1t was the
real Mr.. Bryan who was on duty in
Kansas yesterday"

THORPE AND HIS GOLD.
Arrive at Seattle From the klondyke FieId-The
Pot Was Not So Large.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 21.-The steamer
George e. Starr arrived at her dock this
morning shortly after II o'clock from
Dyea and Skagua, and was met by a
large crowd of people, it having been re-
ported that several men from Klondyke,
having made their way to Dyea overland,
were on board. This report proved true
and the interest centered in the appear
ance of the passenger who was expected
to come down on the Portland and who
is reported to have somewhere in the
neighborhood Of 100000 in Klondyke gold
in his possession. This was Edward
Thorpe. Thorpe's family were disposed
to talk, but it is impossible to get any
definite information from them. Willis
Thorpe, Thorpe's father, had a letter
from his son, saying that he had $130, 900
in gold, at least the is what it is said the
letter said, but the three men on board
unite only on one point and that is that
they have $4,000 between them. 1t is
the intention of all to return to their
mines at once on the next trip of the
steamer If they can get ready They came
for suppli.s. Mr.. Stewart, one of Thorpes
companions, said they ran short and
flour went up to $40 per sack. At pres
ent it is $12 per hundred weight.
Old miners on the Yukon say that the
transportation company rc.aised every
one to have plenty of provisions for the
winter. but the supply invariably runs
short.

COURT RECORDS SMASHED
Ninety Suits Filed in the Cir
cult Clerks Office.
BR0OkSIDE LAND TITLE
Is Causing a General SquabbIe Injunction
Suit Against Ayondale Cotton Mills
In the Various Tribunals

The record for the number of suits filed
in one day was broken yesterday after
noon, when ninety. of them were filed
against twenty different defendants. The
suits are virtually the same as those
filed several days ago against holders
of property in South Brookside. The
plaintiffs in the suits filsd yesterday are
the same as those in the ones filed the day
before. They are Della NJ. Fields, S. f.
Fields, Milanda K. Ballow and Nancy j.
SheeFer.
The suits grow out of the complaints
OF the plaintiffs that they are the heirs of
William Fields, who, they say, never dis
posed Of the property. On the other
hand, it is said the defendants claim
to have deeds from one Bevins. who re-
ceived the property from William Fields,
and that he has deed SO showing. The
number of suits filed altogether is $50.
Lane & White and John T. Shugart are
the attorneys for the plaintiffs in each
case. These sued yesterday were indi-
vlduals, and the total amount of land at
dfspuate is about 100 acres.
