crease of from 20 to so per cent, but
accepted compromise. The conference

which time day and night sessions were
held. The type founders at the meeting
represented fully $40, 0000 900 capital and

PARNELL'S SISTER
Writes Bitter Letter in Defense Of
the Shamrock.

Dublin, March 12-Miss Anna Parnell,
sister of the late Charles Stewart Par
nell, publishes the following letter:
Since the queen, whose Irish soldiers
have hitherto been punished if they
ventured to sport the Shamrock, has
now ordered them to wear it as a taken
OF their degradation, it seems to me
those Irish who do not wish to be iden-
titled with the robber lords of South
Africa should take some notice of this
insult to their little plant, whose very
humbleness might have protected it
from the queen empress. 1 suggest
that those who can not refrain from
wearing the Shamrock should dip into
the ink until the dishOnor is wiped out
by the final triumph of the Beers, or in
some other way.

BRYAN BEGINS EARLY.
Started on His Indiana Tour at
s O'Clock This Morning.

indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 5.-W. J. Bryan
began mis- days work at Noblesville in
this state today. He arrived at O'Clock
and spoke to a large audience from a
stand near the depot for about fifteen
minutes. Mr.. Bryan rapidly traced the
Democratic position on all the issues Of
the campaign. He said that the duty
OF the nation IS determined by the people
and that if each man would do his full
duty conscientiously next November the
cOuntry'S duty in the present emergency
would be properly indicated. He then
referred to the money question saying
that if any Republican should assert
that the money question is more i'm
portant than Imperialism Democrats
should reply that important as are
the finances. they are only secondary
when compared with the question of the
form of government He then took up
the trust question and in conclusion as
serted that because Of party prejudice
the Republicans dare not raise their
voices against anything for which the
party is responsible
A brief stop was made at Arcadia and
a. ten minute talk was made at this
place There were fine audiences at
both these towns
At Upton, Mr.. Bryan was introduced
by J. w. Kern. Democratic candidate
for governor for the state, who present
ed him las the next president
Mr. Bryan said in response;
4 am glad TO be introduced to you by
the next governor of Indiana, for what
ever may become of my chance in this
race, do not think there is much doubt
about Indiana Mr.. Kern only has IN
diana to fight for, while have A other
states"
Mr.. Bryan then discussed the trust
question and said that the Republicans
gained power in 1896 by trust cOntribu-
lions. The Republican party needs
more money now than it did then" he
said, and it coUla not get it if it did
not stand with the trusts -
Explaining the difference between eX-

Mr.. STRIKER SUES.
Husband of Althea Briggs
Wants a Divorce.

al dispatch from wellington an
nounces that William Stryker, editor of
the Peoples Voice, of that city. and for
merly state superintendent of public in
struction under the Leedy administra-
ton, yesterday filed a suit for divorce
from his wife, Mrs. Althea- Briggs Stry-
ker, alleging desertion. Mrs. Stryker
gained prominence in this state in 1896
as a campaign orator on the Populist
side.
During their residence in Topeka there
was no outward indication of a lack of
harmony in the Stryker domestic men
age. AS far as friends here know Of
the movements of Mr.. and Mrs. Stryker
on the expiration of his term of office,
they went east together. Later Mr.
Stryker returned to Kansas, but without
his wife and the couple have not been
living together for some time.
At present Mrs. Stryker is residing in
Boston, Mass. A little over a. year ago
she was in that city teaching select
scholars privately. She was pressing an
application for a permanent position in
one of the schools of that city at that
time and secured testimonials from here
to assist her, with what success there is
no information at hand.

LEANS TO BRYAN.
Chicago Record Correspondent
Describes Indiana Situation.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-A special to the Rec
ord from W. E. Curtis at Washington
says:
Although Republican statesmen who
have visited Indiana are confident that
the Republicans will carry that state by
a large majority and Democratic Wis
itors are equally certain of Democratic
success, disinterested people who have
no reason to bolster up either ticket con-
slider the Hoosier state very doubtful,
with the chances in famor of the Dem
ocrats. The reasons they give are that
the Gold Democrats who supported Nc
Kinley four years ago will vote for
Bryan this time, with the exception OF
a few bankers and very rich men, and
that the quakers will vote against Nc
Kinley because they do not like the
shooting of the Filipinos and the mill
itary invasion of China There is said
to be considerable discomfort among the
coal miners. and also among the labor
unions in the gas district I have seen
two or three people Of both parties who
have recently been in Indiana, and all
agree that the chances Of success there
are in favor of the Democrats
