Mr.. CONRAD'S RETURN.
He Is Still an Enthusiastic Supporter of
William j. Bryan.

Great Falls, Sept w. G. Conrad
and family returned to-day from the
summer home at White Post Va. Mr.
Conrad said this afternoon to a Stan
dard reporter that business was ap-
parently fairly good throughout the
East. He was also convinced from
what he saw and heard that beyond
doubt Mckinley and Bryan were to be
the presidential candidates in the cam
paign of next fall He did not ven
ture an opinion on the national result
but said that in Montana Bryan's
name YVES talisman which would
sweep the state and give a democratic
victory greater than ever before.
Bryan had made numerous speeches
through the country, and in not one
of them had he pronounced any in
consistency or anything which was not
strictly democratic. Mr.. Conrad is an
enthusiastic supporter of Bryan, and
while he made no forecast of the re-
suit it was easy to see that Bryan's
election is his hearts desire.

TRIED TO FORD THE LAKE
Damp Experience of a Party of
Duck Hunters.
HORSES REFUSED TO GO
Mr.. Selvidge of Helena Had Time of II
Swimming Ashore-Driver Couldn't
Swim and Was Pulled
Ashore by Rope.

Great Falls, Sept. People from Big
Sandy report in Fort Benton that
company of duck hunters visited that
section on Sunday with plan of COM
paign that contemplated the annihila-
ton of all the feathered game to be
found on Lonesome lake. The visitors
met with fair success. They expert
enced the pleasures and dscomforts
usually connected with duck hunting
trips and also witnessed some feats of
horsemanship and natatiOn that were
amusing to all except the performers.
The party included several duck hunt
ers from Fort Benton, Great Falls and
Helena, among the latter being Judge
Smith, Billy Selvidge and other well
known residents of the capital city.
On Sunday afternoon Mr.. Selvidge
decided to ford the lake instead of
making the long trip around it, and in
structed his driver, young German
to go straight ahead. After proceed
ing some distance the wagon came to
standstill in about six feet of water,
the team refusing to bulge an inch
and SelVidge and his companions were
in damp predicament. The Helena
man concluded to make for shore, and
took to the ice cold water in a par
swimming a few yards he found it
necessary to part company with his
trousers. He reached dry land in an
exhausted condition. but his discarded
trousers, which contained a watch and
about $40 in money, were never re-
covered. They We're replaced with a
pair of overalls loaned by one of his
companions.
In the meantime D. G. Lockwood, one
of the Fort Benton hunters, swan out
to the submerged wagon and cut the
horses loose, much to the disgust of
the German driver, who was standing
waist deep in the water-logged wagon
and was unable to swim. The rescue
of the excited Teuton was undertaken
by G. c. Ihmsen. a neighboring ranch
er, who rode to within a short distance
of the wagon and threw a rope to the
young man with instructions to fasten
1t around himself and be dragged
ashore. The performance was over in
few seconds. Ihmsen's horse made a
rush for the shore, followed by a rap
idly revolving body that churned the
water into foam, and as the gasping,
spluttering German f1oundered into
shallow water he was greeted with
thunders of applause from the crowd
of spectators. His only complaint was
that he got "leedle vet"

An Orthodox Jewish Wedding,

From the Minorah Monthly.
The Talmud requires that a benedic-
tlon be given to the betrothed when
they enter into a contract, with the in
junction, however, that they must not
enter upon the conjugal life before the
nuptials take place. The nuptials are
termed Chuppa or Nissuin, and We're
usually held in the young husbands
dwelling and seven days were allowed
for the celebration. AS usual, a sort of
canopy. termed baldachin, was impro-
Vised. 1t was the custom to conduct the
bride from her home to the groom
abode. 1t required 10 persons while The
marriage was being performed, so as to
give the act publicity and solemnity
1t became a general custom that a rabbi
performed the rites and gave his bene-
dction, although it was not essential
since the betrothal act was virtually a
marriage compact. 1t was only during
the middle ages that a rabbi was re-
quired, so as to make the act one of
validity. In modern eras the nuptials
are held in synagogues and temples. A
cup of wine was also used as a symbol
of Joy, of which both the bride and
groom partook, and to commemorate
their willingness to henceforth drink
together from the cup of life which a
providence may allot them.

AGAIN MOBBED CARS.
A Traction Employe Received Serious
Ipjuries In Cleve1and-Police
Arrived Too Late.

CLEVELAND, June 20.-Two of the
Scoville avenue cars approached the
crossing of the Pennsylvania railroad.
where they were met by mob of more
than 1900 men and women. One of
the cars was taken across the railroad
safely, but the other was held up by
the mob. A perfect shower of paving
bricks and stones fell about the car and
and crashed against the vestibule at the
front end, behind which the motorman
was concealed. Women threw bricks
and handed them to the men who were
i'll the front of the crowd.
The windows of the car had been
lowered and the bricks crashed against
the seats and fell upon the floor of the
car. The conductor escaped injury,
but the motorman, A. J. McGrew of st.
Louis, was struck on the head with a
brick and rendered unconscious. He
was taken to hospital. The patrol
man OH the car was also hit with a
brick, but was not seriously hurt. A
call was made for the police, but when
a detachment OF officers arrived the
mob had dispersed and no arrests were
made.
The demonstration which had been
planned for last night to influence the
action of-the city council with respect
to the ordinance prohibiting the employ
ment OF motormen who have not had
ten days experience operating cars in
this city, contisted of a parade in the
downtown streets with torchlights,
drum corps and brass bands. A crowd
of about 5000 persons assembled, but
all of them did not participate in the
parade The crowd was demonstrative
but not disorderly.
At the meeting of the council there
was scene of great disorder. The gal
lery and lobby of the chamber were
packed by large crowd. and every
speaker who was inclined to give the
railroad company fair show was
Missed, This continued until Mayor
Farley made speech, in which he de-
clared that he did not propose to submit
to intimidation.
The ordinance fixing the requirements
for motormen was passed under sus-
pension of the rules. A resolution was
also adopted requesting the corporation
counsel to report whether the fran
chises of the company could not be
forfeited if it failed to run cars on all
its lines
Several other resolutions were offered
and referred to committees. A special
meeting of the council is to be held next
Wednesday evening, and in the mean
time committee which was appointed
will seek to bring about settlement of
the strike.

WHEELING, June 20.-Captain Lo-
renzo Danford, serving his sixth term
as congressman from the Sixteenth Ohio
district, died last night about O'Clock
at his country home near st. Clalrs-
vile, o. His death was sudden and
was caused by heart disease A year
ago he suffered q severe attack OF grip,
had relapse, and since then his health
has been growing steadily worse, but
his death at the time was not expected,
and the only member of his family
present was his daughter.
Captain Danford was born in Bel
mont county, Ohio, IN 1929. He en-
barked in the legal profession early in
life. He first appeared IN politics as
Wing, and was candidate for elector on
the Fillmore ticket in 1856. Joining
the Republican party, he became proml-
nent, being elected prosecuting at
torney of his county. He resigned
Office at the opening of the Civil war
and enlisted as private in the Seven
teenth Ohio infantry. Later he or
ganized company in the Fifteenth
Ohio and rose to the rank of captain,
and served until 1864, when i'll health
caused him TO resign. He was a Lin
coin elector in 1864. In 1872 as a regular
Republican he succeeded John A. Blng-
ham as representative in congress from
the Sixteenth Ohio district, and was re-
elected in 1874 and 1876.
Retiring from public life III 1879, he
practiced law in st. Clairsville for many
years. In 1894 he re-entered politics,
being elected to congress for the fourth
time, and again i'll 1896 and 1898. He
was chairman of the emigration COM
mittee of the last congress. Captain
Danford was warm friend of President
Mckinley and stood very high in the
state and national councils of his party.

turned to Scheveningen from Berlin.
1t is said, however, that owing to the
absence of the emperor DIR. Zorn was
only able to consult with the officials of
the German foreign Office.
DR.. Zorn is discreetly reticent regard
ing his mission, but it is understood he
obtained the impression at Berlin that
all hope need not be abandoned of eff
fecting an understanding regarding the
organization OF an arbitration board by
amalgamating the various, schemes.
1t is expected that Emperor William
will reach decision this week.
The general desire of the conference
favors an established arbitration trib-
unal. recourse to which shall be optional.
1t is believed that, if Germany declines
to participate, the other powers will still
achieve some such result before separat-
ing. They may decide upon draft
scheme, pending Germany's decision.

FORAKER'S QUIET THREAT.

In reply to the charge that he was
responsible for the candidacy of
Mayor McKisson for Senator in op-
position to Mr.. Hanna two years
ago, Senator Foraker has published
a lot of letters received and written
by him during the Senatorial contest.
The letter of chief interest, one from
Hon. Chas. Foster, urging Foraker to
intercede with Messrs. Kurtz and
Bushnell in behalf of Hanna, con-
tanned this paragraph: II think ]
know something of the grievances
that Bushnell, Kurtz and other
friends have toward Hanna. His
treatment of them (some of them,
at least,) has been little less than
brutal"
To this letter Foraker replied that
he had advised Hanna to have a con-
ference with his party enemies, as he
"could easily square accounts by a
frank and manly talk" but the ad-
vice was spurned. Foraker con-
cluded his letter to Foster as follows: !:
$50 far as Mr.. Hanna and myself
are concerned, We get along well
enough, and there are some important
reasons why 1 would rather have him
for a colleague than anybody else, but
L do not prefer him at the expense of
my friends, and if for HE to stay out
of this fight as l have done, and
intend to do, means my retirement
four years from now, SO let it be.
But the people who are making
proclamation of this. program are
handling very dangerous subject.

have care else the explosion may
come prematurely. 1t will be
exceedingly important that they cut
the time fuse exceedingly right
The elections of 1898, 1899 and par
ticularly the election of 1900 all come
before the elections of 1901"
The last sentence of this letter,
carrying as it does a significant
threat, should be of more than pass
ing interest to Hanna.

It's astonishing how good news
will spread. From every ward and
street in Akron comes reports of the
wonderful cures being performed by
the Boy Phenomenon. Truth, genu-
inc merit, skill, wonderful gift of
healing and honorable methods are
sure to receive their justreward, and
it is upon and along these lines that
he has secured the confidence of the
public. So many cures have been
accomplished the past week that it is
next to impossible to investigate
them all, but few will be given pub
licity each day for the benefit of the
afflicted who are desirOus of investi-
eating some cures before undergoing
| treatments.
When anything that promises re-
| lief is offered you the first thing you
want to know is if it ever cured any
one else, and, what is more import
ant, if they stayed cured, and the
amount of faith you will have in try
ing it will depend upon the reliabil-
ity of the testimony offered in its be-
half. When this is from remote
strangers way beyond the reach of
your consultation, doubts are sure to
arise, but when it comes from disin-
.terested people whom you know as
your citizens and neighbors and can
consult at any time, its reliability is
apparent, its truth not to be doubted.

everlasting gratitude for what you
have done for me- The results of
your treatment have surprised all
who knew of my condition. Rheuma-

service in the civil war has so weak

extended all over my body and was
so severe that sleep was often out OF
the question. L had tried all kinds
of medicines, been given up as in
durable by dozens of doctors and by
other methods and had dispaired of
ever being well man again. Since
receiving treatment | am so greatly
improved that l feel it my duty to
make public statement and to ac-
quaint you with my heartfelt
gratitude as 1 have not had a pain
since you treated me.

MAY TEST CANTEEN DECISION.
War Department Not Likely to Abide by
Pennsylvania Court Ruling.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-It is improb-
able that the war department will ac-
cept as final the decision of the Penn
sylvania state court, declaring that the
army canteen is subject to taxation.
The officer in charge of the canteen at
Camp Meade appealed to the war de-
partment for assistance in defending the
case, and the department., approving of
his application, transmitted it to the
department of justice, with the request
that an officer of that department be as
signed tor the purpose. 1t is believed
the decision was rendered before the
defense could be prepared.
: The principle involved is regarded as
important, and it is significant that the
Pennsylvania decision is directly i'll
conflict with the formal opinion of the
court of claims i'll the case involving
the canteen. That court decided that
tine canteen was lone of the instrument
talities of government, and therefore
exempt from taxation.
