Bryan's Official Notification.

W. ]. Bryan and A. Z. Stevenson
were officially notified at Indianapolis
Wednesday of their nomination by the
democratic party for president and
vice-president of the United States
In his speech of acceptance, Mr.. Bryan
said in part: Lincoln said that the
safety of this nation was not in its
fleets, its armies. it's forts, but in the
spirit which prizes liberty as the her.
itage OF all men. in all lands. every
where. and he warned his cOuntrymen
that they could not destroy this spirit
without planting the seeds Of despot-
ism at their own doors. Even now we
are beginning 20 see the paralyZing in
fiuence of imperialism. Heretofore this
nation has been prompt to express its
sympathy with those who were fight
ing for civil liberty. While our sphere
of activity has been limited to the west
ern hemisphere, our sympathies have
not been bounded by the seas. We have
felt it due TO ourselves and to the
world as we'll as to those who were
struggling for the right to govern
themselves to proclaim the interest
which our people have. from the date
of their own independence, felt in
every contest between human rights
and arbitrary power"
Twenty thousand people attended
the meeting and several speeches were
delivered.

a fine of $500; DR.. Michael n Regent,
a fine OF 81 900 and Imprisonment in
the penitentiary: Della Mahoney, a
fine of $500 and Imprisonment in the
penitentiary. The regent case, as the
cause just tried is called. has been
one of the unique trials in Cook coun-
ty. and has lasted sixteen days. The
burial of one man under the name Of
another for the alleged purpose of OBJ
tanning insurance was the basis of the
prosecution. The defendants were
members of Illinois Council 400
Knights and Ladies of Security, and
charged with wholesale conspiracy
to obtain money fraudulently from the
society. The unusual number of death
benefits demanded by the Illinois
council aroused the suspicious of the
supreme officers at Topeka, kaS., and
investigation was made.

Shin Americans Back Home.

The department of state at Wash
ingtOn is in receipt of a dispatch from
the consul general of the United States
at Cape Town, dated July Q, further re-
lating TO the shipment OF American
citizens as muleteers at New Orleans
on British transports. In this instance
Mr.. Stowe remarks that he sends home
free all who apply TO him. but adds:
81 no sooner clear one vessel than ar
other comes into port with more Amer
leans, who have been SO foolish as to
ship with mules for this country. Over
500 have arrived and further ship
ments of these muleteers ought to be
prevented. The means used TO obtain
men at New Orleans. as told by the
men, are simply disgraceful."

robbers caught sight of them and gave
the alarm. No sooner had Walker. a
moment later, begun kicking the door
than he was met by volley of shots
from inside. The remaining mem
bers OF the party quickly lined up
around the house, and for ten minutes
bullets whirred at a lively rate, the
rifles of the pursuers pouring a deadly
fire in the direction of the robbers The
robbers returned the fire strongly. and
Riggs soon fell. hit in the breast and
back. Finally one of the robbers
jumped through a window and made
off in the smoke. Before he had gone
half dozen steps he fell in his tracks,
shot to death. Sheriff Walker in the
meantime had forced his way toward
the house and was intent on getting
inside. In the smoke and confusion
Cullins got in the way of Walkers gun
and was shot in the back and serious
ly wounded. One other man was hurt
during the battle. While the men were
removing Cullins the lone robber made
his way to a sod kitchen near by and
barricaded the door After the fight
in the morning the citizens armed
themselves and went to the ranch. The
man inside the house was armed with
a rifle, and too near approach to the
house drew his fire. About 4 o'clock
some men, by crawling through a corn
field, got to a shed near the house, and
from this place threw two railroad
fuses into the roof of the house, set
ting it on fire. 1t was not many min
uteS until the entire building was in
flames. but the rObber made no sign,
and if he was not shot by a bullet
from the many that were fired at the
house from the outside he found his
death in the flames. The man in the
house had n large roll of bills. but
these, with the robbers two valiSes,
were burned. Each of the men was
about 80 years of age and of the desper-
ado style, having threatened to shoot
several farmers who refused to keep
them. The house on the ranch. with
its contents, was valued at 81 200 and
will be paid for by the county. The
two citizens, Riggs and Cullins, shot
in the fight in the morning are doing
well and will recover.

EXPRESS TRAIN IS ROBBED.
Messenger Lane Killed-No Clew to the
Perpetrators.

The Pennsylvania express, leaving
Cincinnati at p. m, Friday evening.
was robbed before the train reached
Columbus, and Express Messenger
Lane was found dead in his car when
the train reached the capital city. This
was the first intimation the trainmen
had of the robbery, and they are not
able to indicate at what point between
Cincinnati and Columbus the tragedy
occurred. Lanes revolver was found
by his side with three chambers emp
tied. The safe was rified of its con-
tents, and the door indicated that it
had been blown open. No details are
available here. Lane lived in Column
bus. 1t is supposed the robbers jumped
off the train as it slowed up coming in
TO the union station at Columbus. The
utmost mystery wells the affair. Lane
was about % years old. The officials
of the Adams Express company give
no statement as to the probable amount
of money secured by the robbers, but it
is reported TO be about $4,000.

With a left hook on the jaw Bob
FitzsimmOns put out Gus Rubin, "the
Akron giant" after two minutes and
ten seconds fighting in the sixth round
at Madison Square Garden, New York,
Friday night. Rubin fell forward on
his face like a chunk of heavy timber
and was carried to his corner limp
mass of flesh and bones, trailing blood
as he went. 1t was seven or eight
minutes before he was revived suffi-
GENTLY to come forward and shake
hands with his vanQuisher. After the
fight Rubin became unconscious in
his dressing room. but was revived
and taken to g Turkish bathhouse,
where he again collapsed. A physician
was summoned. who made an eXamin-
alton and said that the fighter was not
seriously injured internally. He re-
vived and asked for a drink of water
and again lapsed into a sort of stupor
Blood at this time was trickling from
his ears and nose. The fight itself
was so fast and furious as TO surprise
every one. 1t was a genuine, old
fashioned prize fight. with the differ
ence that it took place right in the
heart of the city of New York.
