The president and Mrs. Mckinley bowed
their acknowledgements. President McKin-
ley looked to be in unusually good health.

land would assemble here TO give this

the brave soldiers and sailors who are
maintaining our standard In our distant
territory and giving shelter and protection
to American citizens in China. / thank

with as many of the assembled crowds as
he could reach during the few moments
the stops were made.
The president and Mrs. Mckinley and
Mrs. Katherine Matthews were. upon ar

home.

asked by reporter why the democra-
tic platform of 1900 contained nothing
whatever about civil service.
Not word," he said, ''was uttered
by any member of the committee on
resolutions in the course of the entire
discussion and work of making the
platform, about civil service. l do not
believe that anybody even thought of
1t. have no explanation to offer or
comment to make on the question of
civil service and the democratic plat
form"
Senator Tillman said that an income
tax plank was missing from the plat
form, and that this omission was sur
prise to the builders-that is, the COM
mittee on resolutions. ''We prepared Il
plank for an income-tax," said Senator
|Tillman, "but it was decided to change
it, and it was withdrawn. A clerk was
instructed to make the changes which
were decided on and to reinsert in the
manuscript. But the plank is not there,
and the mistake is clearly due to cler-
ical error.

TRAmPLED BY A mUEE.
Thomas Nelson. Wealthy Farmel
Near Grlnnell, Seriously lnfnred.

Grinnell, July Especial What
may prove to be fatal accident
happened to Thomas Nelson, a veal
thy farmer, who lives six miles south
east of this place, Friday. AS he was
returning to the house from the field,
he entered the barn and in attempt
ing to remove some hay which was
under the feet of a mule, was kicked
and tramped on until he became un,
conscious. The mule finally became
entangled in the halter and was
thrown, falling on the PROSTATE man.
A son of Nelson, an employe on the
farm, found him some time later. He
was unconscious and apparently dy-
ing. Physicians were summoned, who
upon examination, found four ribs,
over the heart, broken, his shoulder
dislocated, the scalp torn in three
places, and one eye forced from its
socket.
