BRYAN AND BELMONT.
Significant AIlusfon to Their Recent
Exchange of Letters.


BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, March 16-Will-
lam j. Bryan tonight addressed large
audience at the coliseum. He had been
invited to take part in the st. Patrick s
day exercises, under the auspices Of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians, but could
not be here tomorrow, so the celebration
was held tonight. Mr.. Bryan was intro
duced by ex-Vice President Stevenson as
the foremost statesman of the time.''
You've heard of him before; you will
hear of him again. said Mr.. Stevenson.
This expression was received with great
applause, which was sredoubled as Mr..
Bryan arose. The greater portion of his
ADDRESS was an argument against impe-
rialism.
Tonight Mr.. Bryan was shown tele-
gram from New York, in which was sug-
gested the probability of his acceptance
of an invitation to- banquet to be held
ON Jefferson's birthday by adherents to
the Chicago platform as a revival of the
banquet of the Democratic club. He
said:
Il never heard of the Jefferson day
banquet until now j have written a
letter to August Belmont in reply to his
invitation The public can learn my de-
cision from him."

Chicago Packer With Bribery.
NEW YORK, March 1s.-(SpeciaI. J.
The New York Journal, with which paper
originated the story that condemned ami
mais' after being put in the rendering
tanks in Chicago packing houses. were
secretly removed ana used in canned
roast beef furnished the army, is out with
a new sensation. In an extra edition is
sued tonight, the journal charges sepcifi-
cally that Nolan. the man who made the
first statement, was today paid 5000 to
change his testimony. The story is cir
cumstantial as to time and place and is
backed by affidavits from Nolan and his
attorneys. A Chicago packer is named as

SLAIN BY A MOB.
Four Negroes Killed by Lynchers at
Palmetto, Ga.

| rour negroes hflIed by Lynchers at
Palmetto, Ga.
| PALMETTO, Ga, March 16-Nine ne
| gro prisoners, under arrest charged with
| attempting to set fire to the town, were
attacked in Jail by a white mob this
morning. Four were killed, one fatally
| injured and the other four seriously in
! jured. The victims are
Dead-Bud Cotton, Henry Bingham,
| Tip Hutson and Ed Brown.
Injured--John Bigby, fatally; Glenn
Watts, shot in abdomen; George Taylor,
wounded in thigh; Isham Brown, shot
in body, and John Jamison, arm frac-
tured.
Mayor Arnold has summoned a guard
of seventy-fVe citizens to patrol the
streets and warehouses; and every citi-
zen seen on the street is armed with
gun. The situation is believed to be
practically under control. The Palmetto
cotton mills shut down for the day on
account of the excitement
The mob was composed of $50 men.
Where they came from is mystery, so
far as the people of the town know. That
some OF the people of Palmetto, but not
the better class, were in the mob goes
without saying. Every face was masked
and, when the warehouse was reached,
where the negroes were imprisoned the
special guard of five men were covered
without a word. In minute the mob
was in the big warehouse and the fusi-
lade opened. The frightened negroes sent
up yell after yell, begging for mercy,
but 1t had no effect on the mob When
It's work was finished, the masked mob
turned and quickly disappeared as 1t
came-on horseback
The citizens patrolling the main street
OF the town tonight are dispensing an oc-
casfonal group of muttering negroes,
who seem determined to get some form Of
revenge for the slaughter of four of their
race.
The scene at the warehouse, where the
nine negroes were confined and which is
now filled with the dead and dying, is a
revolving and miserable one. Blood COW
ers the floor and the blackened walls are
indented with rifle shots. Wives and chill
dren of the negroes are kneeling by their
side in the dimly-lighted room and pierc-
ing the air with cries and means of an
guish The bodies of the dead negroes
have not been removed.

FARGO. N. D., March 1s-(Special.) y
l.. E. Booker, formerly president of the
Grand Forks National bank, ex-state
treasurer and at one time president Of
bank at Pembina, has returned to
North Dakota after being in hiding for
months. His Grand Forks bank failed
and he was indicted by the United States
grand jury, and five Bismarck men went
on his bonds. The day before he was to
have been tried he disappeared, and was
afterwards learned to be in British CO.
lumbia.
Last fall his bondsmen offered a re-
ward for his arrest, Booker heard of 1t,
and concluded to return. He passed
through Fargo this morning from the
East to Bismarck for conference with
his bondsmen, and it is said he will re-
turn here tomorrow morning and throw
himself on the mercy of the court, Judge
Anidon having returned from Bismarck

The Grange held the 18th was not SO
well attended as usual owing to rain,
only about 30 members being present.
The subject of buying an organ was
one of the leading features of the regu-
lar order of business. Master Emmons
report on the subject was satisfactory
and it is expected that two different
firms will have an instrument at the
hall on trial at our next meeting. The
young peoples choir are wearing a
broad smile when they are thinking of
a new organ to replace the old one.
After the regular order of business
was dispensed with the lecturer took
charge of the meeting and very nice
program was carried out. The discus
sion was good one and all had more
or less To say on the subject. The
young members are beginning to take
more interest in that part of the work
The subject To be discussed at our
next Grange, July q, is the merits of
deep or shallow blowing. Howard Me
Arthur will lead in the discussion. 1t
is hoped that every member will be
present to hear the new instrument

"The biggest courtroom bully / ever

Louisville bar. | practiced In that
city for several years after l was ad

now and then in the local courts. He
was very large. portly man with
singularly intimidating presence. and
when he got a nervous witness in his
clutches the way he would put ON
the screws was something frightful.
The habit led one day to remark
able scene of which l happened to be
spectator. He was engaged in the
trial of a case involving the title 10
some farm lands, and number OF
countrymen were called TO testify on
the other side. They were naturally
Ill at ease, being unused to city ways,
and when Simmondson came to cross
examine he found them easy prey. He
harassed them in every imaginable
manner, and whenever they would
show signs of confusion would ro"
out, What are you hesitating for? Are
you afraid you may tell a lier Ii the
victim replied No. Simmondson
would retort, Il was sure you didn't
fear Il little thing like that and II
the answer was Yes he would say
with a sneer: Aha! l thought so! In
short, he had them both ways, and
the poor fellows, being strangers to
repartee, were badly discounted.
"The last witness he took In hand
was a tall lank farmer. with very
thoughtful eye. He had watched the
batting of his neighbors in dead ST.

OF dead silence that followed the act.
Needless to say. "A tremendous hub

the farmer heavily for contempt. he
subsequently RENTED the sentence.

was laid up for several weeks. When
he emerged he was as gentle as

practically everybody the distinction
