/
tertainment for Charity.
Mr.. Harry w. Rogers pleasantly en-
tertained a party of his friends last
evening at his home on Eighteenth
street. He illustrated the methods en-
ployed in modern spiritualism, explain
ing some phenomena and leaving his
friends to guess at the mystery con-
nected with other demonstrations. He
exemphfied the different phases of So
called 'mediumship," giving slate writ
ing, trumpet tests and the different
spirit manifestations Familiarity asso-
ciated with the dark cabinet 1t made
a delightful evenings entertainment,
and was supplemented by delectable
luncheon.
Mr. Rogers has hau SO many requests
to give his spirituaHstic expose, and has
been compelled to decline so frequently,
that he has decided to give a public en-
tertainment in the Opera House on the
evening of December 18th for the bene-
fit of the City Hospital. His entertain
ment is not given with view to onend-
ing any person, particularly believers
in spiritualism; but it is given with the
hope that believers, if they witness the
same demonstrations for which super
natural cause is claimed in seances may
conclude that they have been duped.

GENERAL BUCKNER
DECLARES FOR MCKINLEY


General Simon B. Buckner, Of
Kentucky, who, in 1895, was the
candidate for Vice President on
the National Democratic ticket,
has returned from trip abroad.
He said:
"The advices that I have re-
ceived from Kentucky make me
believe that the Mckinley Elec-
tors will receive a majority of the
votes cast in that State.
"The real, simon-pure Demo-
Gratis of Kentucky, have no SYM
pathy with either Organism or
Goebelism. Bryan, in his trip
through Kentucky, identified
himself with Goebelism and drove
away from his support the real
Democracy Of the State. The
candidacy Of Mr.. Bryan on the
Kansas City platform is in oppo-
sition to the principles Of true
Democracy, and his election
would be a menace to civil liberty.
I am not going to take the stump
for anybody, but I shall do what
I can to secure the reelection of
Mr.. Mckinley.

STILL MORE DEMOCRATS, PoPUL|STS and SILVER
BRYAN'S DEFEAT WILL
PRESERVE NATIONAL HONOR

Edward s. Bragg, soldier,
statesman and lifelong Demo-
crat, came out squarely FOR Pres
ident Mckinley in a speech at the
Rabst Theater, Milwaukee, on
October 18th. He did more. He
exhorted the Gold Democrats, at
whose solicitation he publicly
made known his views, to do like
wise as a step essential to the
preservation of national honor.
General Bragg said, among
other things:
"The heart Of this great peo-
pie has always beat loyal to the
government when the war trump
sounded, and has never tolerated,
and will never tolerate, encour-
agement to a public enemy, while
he is robbing, fighting, Staying
the brave men, your sons and
brothers, whom the government
has sent forth to do its mission,
whether that enemy be an En-
glishman or Mexican, Spaniard
or q Filipino.
"The result of '96 Is as q thrice
told tale. Wisconsin, never lack
ing in its duty where State or
National honor is concerned, set
the badger stamp of condemna-
ton on Mr. Bryan's 10 to l, in
dorsed by over 10000 plurality.
Are you ashamed of this record,
and would you undo itp No, my
fellow badgers, we will stand to
our guns in the second battle as
we did in the first.

thrown out, 1t was allowed to
stand as far as It related to NOM
bers Of the Legislature. The lat
ter elected ]. G. s. Blackburn to
the United States Senate, but I
can not conceive that that body
will seat him. I think that I am
not exaggerating when I say that
at the election in which Mr.. Goe-
bel was a candidate for Governor
20 per cent Of the honest vote of
the State was thrown out and
nullified to permit the issuing Of a
certificate to him. A similar state
of facts would prevail this year
but for the fact that Congress
can take a hand in investigating
the returns. Goebelism means
that 1t matters not how the people
may vote, so long as Goebelites
can do the counting. The Repub-
hcans might carry every county
in the State but one, and then
the State Election Commissioners
could, with only that one coun-
ty, legally declare the Electoral
vote for Bryan. Whether the
