MUST SACRIFICE LANCDON
Democrats and Silver Republicans Insist thai
the Populists Yield.
CARR BILLED AS COMPROMISE CANDIDATE
Burnam is willing, but Lnngdon Re-
fuses to ResiGn-POpulist Conn
mittee VIII Try to Bring
Him 10 Time.

In the minds of the members OF the joint
steering committee that Is endeavorins 10
reconcile the differences remaining from the
recent fusion county conventions, the conIro-
versy over county Judge is practcaiiy SET
tied. It has been tacitly agreed between the
executive committees of the various parties
that both Langdon and Burnam shail DC
pulled off, and that ]. W. Carr be nominated
as tho fusion candidate. The only opstacle
In the way OF this solution OF the diihculty Is
the reluctance Of Langdon to submit his neck
to the party AK. He insists that the demo-
Gratis are not acting in good faith and that
he will stiok right where he is, whether 1t
suits them or not.
On the other hand the populist committee
has practically decided that the recalcitrant
candidate must be induced to see the error
of his way. The members admit that the
democrats and silver republicans have the
best of the proposition, and that the popu-
lists will have to get off the earth. the
weakness Of the populist position is caused
by the fact that their convention passed
resolution that provided that no candidate
should be regularly nominated until he had
received the endorsement OF at least two or
the fusion conventions. AS Langdon was
turned down by the democrats and silver re-
publicans, while Burnam was nominated by
both of them, Langdon cannot be retained as
a candidate under the terms of the legisla,
tion enacted by his own convention.
One effect OF the conference Wednesday
evening was to convince the populists that
the other parties will never consent to en-
dorse Langdon. The democrats are especially
bitter against him because he deserted the
democratic party for the populists only a
year or two ago. They declare without

This is the last week of the Bryan pill
grimage in Nebraska. and Colonel Bryan
and his versatile press agent will then leave
for Texas, where the democratic majority
is said to be in danger Of annihilation. From
the Lone Star state the presidential can
didate will go to Illinois for q few engage
ments, and then swing round the circle
through Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. His
managers announce that the press dispatch
which stated that Bryan and Mckinley will
appear in Canton simultaneously is an er-
ror. Colonel Bryan will not reach Canton
before October 1S or 10, or at least week
after President Mckinley has gone. There
will be meeting of the fusion managers
at Lincoln Saturday. at which the prospects
OF getting Bryan back to Nebraska for a
series of speeches just before election will
be discussed. They are unanimous in the
opinion that his services are urgently needed
and it is expected that pressing repre-
sentation to that effect will be forwarded
to the national committee.
The dissatisfaction among the local popu-
lists with the nomination of Silas A. Hol-
comb has not been appeased by the man
ner In which the Holcomb campaign has
been conducted. A number of circumstances
that have occurred since the convention
have emphasized the impression that Hol-
comb Is more of democrat than populist
and that in case OF his election he will be
controlled by the same democratic machine
that led him to antagonize the Douglas
county populsts while he was governor
The populists call attention to the fact
that Benton Maret, democrat, has been
installed In the state headquarters as the
personal representative of the candidate for
supreme Judge. He has now been In Omaha
for several weeks. but 1t is asserted that
he has neither visited the populist headquar-
tiers nor has he recognized the popullsts in
the slightest particular. The popullst lead
ers have not been consulted in any matter
connected with the campaign, and they have
been made to feel that they have little or
no interest In the candidacy of the head of
the state ticket.
M. G. Harrington has Just forwarded to
the state democratic headquarters his official

that 1t will nominate Judge Neville as its
candidate at once.

THE PLAGUE.
A Most Deadly Danger Threatens the
Civilized World.

The most deadly danger that threat
ems the civilized world now is the Bubon-
c plague, known as the "black death. J"
The Philippine war, the TraDsvaal mud
die, small pox and yellow fever are
ere babes compared to it in destruct-
i've force. The yellow fever can easily
be controlled, and dies out of itself ups
on the approach of cold weather On
the other hand the plague is not affected
in the least by change of weather. 1t is
as virulent with the mercury below zero
as it is at 90 N the shade. 1t RACES on
top of the mountains as we'll as in the
lowest valley. It's mortality is exceeding
ly great, ranging from so to 90 per cent.
There is no known remedy, and its work
IS done SO quickly as to give hardly
warning. Wherever it gains a foothOld
it has never been eradicated until it has
worn itself out, except by the practical
destruction of the part of the city or
town in which it is found. 1t has been
raging in China and India for four years
and is steadily proceeding westward. 1t
has found lodging in OpOrtO, Portu-
gal. and the most stringent measures
have Got stopped its prOgl ess. 1t is
steadily spreading, and has reached
some villages near there. The boards
of health of Europe are amazed and ter
ror stricken. At any day it may be at
our doors. No precaution against it can
be too severe.

NERVES OF STEEL.
An Engineer Takes a Nap ON an Arch
$50 Feet Above Ground.

William Burns, an engineer, created
considerable excitement Sunday AFTER
noon by threatening to jump from the
highest point of the South Twenty-sec-
ond street bridge. Burns had been cele-
brating during the day, and about three
O'Clock in the afternoon he walked out
on the bridge and climbed up through
the network of structural iron to the top
of the arched span and lay down on the
very TOP of the arch to sleep OH MS
drunk.
The man attracted large crowd oy
his peculiar actions. Women were ex-
cited lest he should lose his balance and
dash out his life by falling.to the asphalt
floor of the bridge. Men yelled at him
to come down and boys we're amused at
his performance. The matter was re-
ported to officer J. W. Charming, who
went to the bridge and tried to induce
Burns to descend from his exalted posi-
ton. The policeman was no more sue
cessful than were the others who made
the same attempt. The man lay stretch
ed at full length along the top OF the
arch, apparently sound asleep and utter
ly oblivious of all that was going on De-
low him.
Officer Charming went to the house OF
Engine Company No. y and had truck
c driven down to the bridge, the idea
being to run a ladder up to the top OF
the arch and bring Burns down. When
the truck arrived Burns raised up to
sitting posture and leaning over the edge
of the arch called to the men on the
truck:
"What are you fellows up TOP"
Upon being told he cautioned them
not to put themselves to so much troub-
le.
eff YOU run that thing up here I'll
Jump into the river; that's what I'll dc"
and, shaking his finger at the men who
were preparing to raise the ladder, he
continued:
"Now, mind what I'm telling you; III
DO it, sure"
There was determination in the mans
eye, and Officer Charming called to the
men on the truck to wait awhile. The
top of the are is nearly $50 feet high land
the officer was convinced that jump
meant sure death. Perhaps the man
could be induced to come down himself.
he reasoned, and one more effort was
made. After some more persuasion
Burns said:
well, I'll come down if you take that
thing away, but [ don't see why fellow
can't take sleep on a free bridge with
out being bothered"
SO Burns crawled down the way he
went up, and when be reached the boz
tom be was cheered by the crowd, which
by this time numbered several hundred.
Officer Charming took Burns in charge
and sent him to the police station on
charge of Drunkenness -Pittsburg Com
mercial.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmoth>
ers' never thought of using anything else
for indigestion or biliousness. Doctors
were scarce, and they seldom heard of
appendicitis, nervous prostratlon or
heart failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean cut the system and stop
fermentation of undlgested food, regu>
late the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the sys-
tenn, and that is all they took when feel
ing dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few doses

Dirt and depravity go hand in hand.
This is just as true of the inside of the

Constipation means that corruption is

single disorder. The consequences of
constipation are legion. Headache, pain
in the side, shortness of breath, undue
