Philadelphia, June 2. Wharton
Barker, who was nominated for Pres
ident of the United States by the con-
servative wing of the peoples party
at Cincinnati, o., May 10, has sent his
letter of acceptance to the committee
of notification. Mr. Barker declares,
first of all, for direct legislation or for
the initiative and referendum. He OPP
poses the concentration of wealth,
which, he says, divides the people into
''house of have and house of
want" The money question and the
railroad question, he says, are the two
great questions to be settled, and the
former is to be settled by system of
paper money issued directly to the
people. The latter question can be
solved by the governments taking
possession of the railways and end
ing freight determinations. ITO talk
of licensing trusts" Mr.. Barker says,
lis to trifle with evil" He opposes the
"usurpations of the courts" favors
election of senators and president by
direct vote, and compulsory arbitra-
ton of labor disputes, and opposes the
policy followed in the Philippines.

Monument Dedicated to Union and
Confederate Soldiers I'm Maryland
Memorial Day Elsewhere.

Hagerstown, Nd, May 31.-Another
link in the chain which binds together
the once warning factions of the north
and south was forged Wednesday by
the dedication of a monument erected
to the memory of men who wore the
gray as well as those who wore the blue
and who died in mortal combat on the
bloody field of Antietam. The event,
which is probably without parallel in
the history of the world, was graced
by the presence of the president of the
United States, accompanied by many
members of his cabinet; score or
more of United States senator's, thrice
as many members of congress, the gov
ernor of Maryland and prominent men
from all parts of the country.

DEADLY DYNAMITE.
Explodes in House of August BrOeh m
and Kills Five Members of
the Family.

Brillion, Wis, June six persons
were ,..Iled by an explosion of dyna-
mite in the home of William Broehm,
at Forest Junction, about eight miles

day. The dead are: William Broehm,
Mrs. William Broehm, three children
of Mr.. and Mrs. Broehm, ages ranging

too near the stove, and became over
heated and exploded. No one was left
to tell how the accident occurred. as
every occupant of the house was
killed.
