The Campaign.

Lincoln, Neb., July 10.-Mr. Bryan
will open his second presidential cam.
paign about August 10, either at Lin.
coin or at Indianapolis, most probably
the latter. He will receive the official
notification of his nomination at the
same time. Chairman Jones, of the
democratic national committee, has
been authorized by the subcommittee
which met here to appoint campaign
committee of nine which will take from
The chairman much OF the detail work
of the national committee. There was
no campaign committee in 1896. Dar-
iel ]. Campau, of Michigan, is strongly
tipped for chairman of the committee.
At the lime he announces the execu-
tive com mittee, Chairman Jones will
appoint ways and means committee
and press committee The absence
of John K. Mclean 10 Europe will pre-
vent him from acting as chairman OF
the wsys and means committee. The
chairman's preference of the press COM
mittee lies between Woods, of Ken
lucky, and Norris, OF New Hampshire.
The national campaign committee will
be composed of democrats, populists
and silver republicans. Mr.. Bryan will
have a hand in its make up.

each others arms, Mrs. 5chnau,z and her
S.year-old daughter, Irene, were found
cold in death shortly after 6 o'clock
last night in the bathroom OF their home
on Oriana street. The woman had end

while partially filled lsudsnum bot
tie indicated that she had first poiso ed
her pretty little girl. Mrs. Schnau'z
was a widow, her husband having
died a little over a year ago from
the results of an accident. Des-
pondency. caused by brooding over
her husbands death, and the fear OF
poverty is thought to have caused
the woman not only to take her own
life but also that of her daughter. The
desperate womsn's stern determination
is shown In the use of both gas and poi
son, the latter being evidently suggest
ed as means Of keeping the child quiet

PHILADELPHIA's SHIFT SLEEVE
HABIT.-Several men were seen on
Chestnut street yesterday, during the
almost UNDESIRABLE portion of the day,
without their coats. They looked Just
as presentable in their neglige shirts
and belted trousers, minus the insight
ly suspenders, as the women did in
their shirt waists. Some carried their
coats on their al ms, while others march
ed boldly along with hands free. 1t
seems a sensible thing to do. Surely, it
Is false dignity that makes man wear

ment when he would feel and look so
much cooler without it. A Chestnut
street tailor, who makes clothes for
some of the best-dressed men in town,
stood at his window and watched the
coatless men go by, careless of conven-
tionality. Pm glad some fellows have
the nerve to do it. All that is neces-
sary is for some man who is recognized
as leader Of fashion in ores to discard
his coat on the street during business
hours, and thousands will rise no and
call him blessed. Men are good bit
like sheep. They want to follow a
leader. "-Philsdelphis Record.

the democratic party, have for that
party, they nurse we'll to keep it

many of them. and so their opposition
is impotent. They used to be the most
prosoripiive and intense democrats,
but now they bind themselves to the
republicans with hooks Of steel. But

The GOebel Murder.

Georgetown KY, July 1O.-lOterest
in Kentucky's great crime promises 10
be almost as intense as the tri,l OF the
accused persons proceeds, as it was
shortly after the deed was committed.
The persecution still claims it will
spring surprising testimony which will
convict all of the accused. Robert
Noaks, the man arrested in West Vir-
ginia two weeks ago. is said to have
made startling statements and coDstt
BILE Harrod stated that Noaks told him
there was at one time d plot to kill
every policeman in Frankfort and that
three men went to the chiefs office one
night to begin the work, but were dis
armed by the kind treatment of officer
Whitehead who was in charge OF the
office. II is claimed NCsks is to be the
star witness for the prosecution and that
mis- testimony will be more sensational
then that of Wharton Golden.
Wnen court convened this morning
everybody was searched for weapons.
Hon. John Hendricks took a seat
with the attorneys for the prosecution.
The list of witnesses for the defense
was called. At the conclusion ex Gov.
John Y. Brown stated that only 20 had
answered out of III. This brought
Common wealth's Attorney Franklin to
his feet with plea for an immediate
trial and the defense asked for time to
prepare an affidavit for continuance.

missed until 8 o'clock Wednesday morn

defense to fight for delay and postpone
ment and it will be hard to force them
to immediate trial for such q measure
would almost insure another hearing.
