sympathy For the Beers.
Believing in the principles of self GOV

fathers the claim of monarchy. we view
with Indignation the purpose of England
to overwhelm with force the South Af-
rican republics. Speaking as we do for
the entire American nation. except its
Republican office holders and for all free

We denounce the large appropriations

have kept taxes high and which threaten
perpetuation OF oppression of war leVies.
We oppose the accumulation of a surplus
to be squandered in such barefaced
frauds upon the taxpayers as the ship
ping subsidy bill, which under the false
pretense of prospering American ship
building, would put unearned millions
into the pockets of favorite contributors
to the Republican campaign fund. We
favor the reduction and speedy repeal of
the war taxes and return to the time

Believing that our most cherished in

existence of our constitutional republic
is at stake, and that the decision now to
be rendered will determine whether or
not our children are to enjoy those bless

have made the United States great, pros
porous and honored, we earnestly ask
for the foregoing declaration of prin-
ciples the hearty support of the liberty
loving American people, regardless of
previous party affiliations.

They Wanted to be Married.

A rustic couple of odd appearance
caused considerable amusement on
West Commerce street yesterday after
noon by stopping several persons and
inquiring the way to a minister's home.
They stated they wanted to 5e married
and right away, too. The man was
about five feet two, very slender and
dressed in antiquated clothes, while
the bride was fully six feet six, and
weighed perhaps 250 pounds. They
were walking hand in hand, accom-
panied by two friends. The couple had
the appearance of a mother leading her
son rather than that of a bride and
groom. The last we saw of them they
were standing in front of st. Peters
Church, while the friends went for the
rector, who was out of town. We have
not yet learned whether they succeeded
in becoming man and wife here or had
to go to Clayton.-Smyrna Call.

CANDIDATE AND PLATFORM.

David B. Hill echoed the sentiment
of the Democratic party when he said
before the National Convention on
Thursday: Bryan belongs not to
Nebraska alone but to the whole
country; Nebraska is proud of him,
bur New York is proud of him also.
This platform is one that every man
who calls himself Democrat can sup
port. The nominee of this convention
and its platform will receive the sup
port and approval of the people of
the East.
James n. Creelman writing to the
North American (Republican) of yes
terday says
And when Mr.. Tillman read the SEN
tence that declared imperialism to be
the paramount issue of this campaign
the multitude leaped 10 its feet. The
climax had come. Democracy was on
fire, heart, soul, brain, hand foot and
voice. There came from that mighty
audience such a shout, such a pro-
longed shout as comes only
from human nature touched by
the flames of some great cause.
Instantly the great hall was
converted into swimming, swirling,
dashing, whirlpool of color and roar
ing voices. Every man, woman and
child there waved an American flag, on
which were printed the words: "The
Constitution and the flag, one and
inseparable, now and forever-of an
empire, never"
The Philadelphia Times (Republi-
CAM yesterday editorially said:
1.-THE nomination of William Jen-
nings Bryan as the candidate for Presi-
dent was followed by hearty acclama-
tion.
'If parties can make their own is
sues, there is no mistaking the issue
made at Kansas City. The platform,
opening with an appeal to the Declara-
tion of independence, is a forcible ar
raignment of the whole foreign and
colonial policy of the administration,
as faithless to the fundamental princi-
pies of our government.
Upon this platform, Notwithstanding
it's many serious faults and weaknesses,
it is not to be doubted that the Demo-
Gratis can make strong campaign.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unles the Inflammation
can be taken out and the tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Thirteen Charges of Speak Easy

Jonathan Williams wsS held Tuesday
by Magistrate Cooper to answer the
charge of selling liquor without a
State license. There are thirteen sep
arate counts against him. R. NJ.
Cooper, Prohibition candidate for Gov
ernor, noticed that his berry pickers
frequently became intoxicated and
found that Williams was selling liquor
near The boundary line of his farm.
Detective Hutchins was put upon the
case, and sent man for some liquor,
which Williams sold him. Williams
has United States license permitting
him to sell liquor by the quart, but
no State license.

cracy, in a speech at the Kansas City

listed before The increasing power of
combinations of capital and their in
fiuence in public affairs has caused
widespread alarm. Upon both of these
paramount issues the Democratic de-
liverance is bold and forceful and will
be generally regarded as sincere.
The Kansas City Convention has
escaped the danger of scattering its
force at the outset and has opened the
way to a serious discussion of large
questions of public policy whose deter
mination is of the utmost Importance

not also to the world at large"

To-day his name is household word
whereverDemocracy fourishes.All over
this broad land the most obscure voter
because of his reputation, feels that
he has a personal acquaintance with
him.
In naming this champion of our
party as our standard bearer the dele
gates to the National Convention but
obeyed the mandate of the party at
large, and in doing this they made no
mistake He is the choice of the party
and under his leadership there can be
but one result-victory complete and
assured. Every man who has the best
interests of this nation at heart, who
desires to see our time-honored
institutions conserved will rally round
the standard upheld in this contest by
William Jennings Bryan.
In Adlai E. Stevenson a strong Vice
Presidential candidate has been
selected. He is a representative Demo-
crat and is in perfect accord with the
Presidential candidate on all the issues
advocated by the party. He has served
one term as Vice President, having
been elected in 1892 on the Democratic
ticket with Mr.. Cleveland. He has a
national reputation that will bring
strength to the ticket. 1t is a strong
combination.
y
With such standard bearers the
platform Of principles adopted is in
perfect keeping. We publish this docu-
ment in full on our first page to-day
and our readers will find it interesting
straight forward concise and plain. 1t
will furnish food for thought and can
not but attract and convince. On these
principles the Democratic party can do
battle believing that the strength and
support of a large majority of the
American people will be with them.
1t was a great convention, composed
of representative American citizens
and the effect of it work will be felt at
the ballot box in November when this
work is endorsed by Americas citizen
ship.
William Jennings Bryan, united
earnest, enthusiastic Democratic party,
platform of principles appealing
strongly to every thinking citizen,
these form an armor to do battle with
that the enemy will find invulnerable.

committee Of the Northwestern Man

plan Tor the providing of quarters for the
association, the Ladies auxiliary, Civic

tons
Inc property is generally kne.x7 as the
Iaroox property and has a fl y tage of
l0o feet on Third street, 100 feet on
Fourth street apd 210 feet on St. Peter
street. It's present rental earning is $500
Ter month. Under the association it is
safe to approximate a rental earning of
$500 to $500 per month.
The buildings thereon are occupied.
The ground floor space of the building is
2l,OOO square feet, the upper floor space
about 1000 square feet
Inc property is offered for the very
reasonable sum of $4,000 and was as
sessed in 1889 at $4,000. Its present as
sessment is -$52, 00o. To purchase the prop
erty 1t is proposed to issue A per cent
bonds to the value of 81, 000 In denomina-
tons of $50 each.
Space in the proposed exhibit building
will be rented as follows: The minimum,
90 square feet, $3.50 per month; 100 square
feet, Sc per month; for the period of
three years, six months rent payable in
adyaL ce. With the money paid in ad-
vance for rent it is proposed to remove
and make certain repairs and improve
ments to the building.
Agreements to lease not less than
5000 square feet for three years must be
obtained, and a good share Of the bonds
taken by the manufacturers. This will
assure the public that the manufacturers
are IN earnest and have faith in the
undertaking and give confidence to Others
to take bonds.
Our Ladies auxiliary, the Civic league,
Schubert club and other women's organi-
cations are all anxious to aid the ascot
alton and will probably require about
$500 to 5000 feet of space.
The Northwestern Manufacturers ass3-
cation is doing much through the Phila-
deiphia Commercial museum to promote
foreign trade. It will therefore be readily
understood that the cooperation of all
the influential organizations mentioned
must enhance the value of the property

The switchboard is an immense affair,

component parts have been unpacked and

the company employs.
The static transformers, ten in num-
Der, are also of Imposing dimensions,
-Four of them are of 275-horse power, and
weigh in the neighborhood of 1900
pounds each. The other six are of 100
horse power, and when ready for use will
each weigh close upon $4,000 apiece. They
will! be used for the purpose of trans
forming the electric pressure from high
to low voltage, and will play a most i'm
portant part in the general economy Of
the system. In addition to these four
monster rotary transformers will be used
for converting alternating currents into
direct currents, and these also have to
be put in place before the generators at
the river can begin their work
The heavy machinery has arrived from
Eastern factories, about a month later
than was expected, but in spite of this
fact the company expects to be able to
start using the new power plant by the
middle of the month
H J. Gille, general superintendent of
the electric departments when seen by
a G 10 b e reporter yesterday, said that
the company was using all possible speed
to complete the installation of the dis
tributing machinery, and that in about
two weeks it would be in position to
supply power for commercial use. The
generators at the source of power are
capable of generating 5,000-horse power,
and any time the demand threatens to
exceed the supply, this could be increased
by nearly so per cent by the installation
of additional generators.
The machinery throughout is of the
latest obtainable type, and has been fur
nished by makers of long and established
reputation.

COULD NOT RAISE BAIL.
Men Who Stole Bitters Will Spend
Some Time in Jail.

James Mccarthy and Bob Fitzgerald,
who were arrested Friday night for the
theft of keg of bitters from the whole
sale department of the Sterling Wine
house, were arraigned before Judge Hine
in the police court yesterday. Their case
was continued to Sept. IL and bail was
fixed at $500 each. They were unable to
furnish this yesterday, and accordingly
will have to spend their time in the coun-
ty Jail until they succeed in getting bail.
Charles Clark, the rental agent, whose
Office is in the National German-American
Bank building, was arraigned on the
charge of violating the health ordinance.
He was found guilty and fined $40, but
later Judge Hine postponed the matter
until Sept g. during which time Mr.. Clark
proposes to make peace with his tenants
and the health department
Clark caused the cesspool in the rear of
1872 Acker street to be opened and the con-
tents drained into vacant lot.
Another complaint, charging him with
a similar offense at 1920 Fremont street,
was withdrawn, the nuisance having been
ahated.
John Newell was arraigned, charged
with disorderly conduct. The complaint
was made by John w Owens, manager Of
the Adams Express company. Newell is
night Waterman on the asphalt paving
now being done on Nelson avenue by the
Barber Asphalt company, and was warn
ing off a wagon which the driver wished
to pull across the fresh pavement. Mr..
Owens became involved, and Newell is
said to have used abusive language. The
case was continued until Sept. II, AMI
Newell was released on his own recog-
nizance.
John F. Harris was in court on a war;
rant sworn out against him by Frank
Lambrecht Jr, charging him with assault
and battery. The case was continued
until Sept f. Lambrecht lives at 454 Vir-
GINA avenue and Harris lives at 444 Vir-
ginia.
Sadie Moore was fined $50 for keeping
a house of ill-fame, and stay of ten
days was granted to allow her to raise
the money She is under 500 bail during
that time.
P Mcdonnell, who was arrested at her
house, was charged with visiting a house
of ill-fame. He did not appear in court,
but Attorney Hall appeared for him. This
caused Judge Hine to say that the APP
pearance by counsel in the municipal
court on the part of persons accused of
an offense who have up bail and do not
care for the notoriety of showing them
selves to the public gaze, will not save
the bail money, and it was accordingly
forfeited.
