JUVENILE FORGERY

dollars The evidence showed that sew

forgery. and that several others were I'M

Frank II Rowe, a nephew of Mr..
Corniel1's wife, took the check from a
letter addressed to MIR. Cornick, and
1.-The gang concocted plan by winch
TO get the money.
The check was first endorsed with Mr.
Cornick's name by the use of pencil,
and then retraced with a pen. the boys

1t was impossible to fix the individual
responsibility for the forgery. The check
was cashed by Mr. Herman Schmidt, on
Broad Street, and a number of the boys
got part of the money, the larger part
going to George Bullock, c. E. Bedford

were placed under security for twelve

DALLAS. Texas. Sept. s.-All Texas is in
the keenest state of doubt and uncertainty
tonight concerning the fate of Galveston
island and city In everybody's mind is the
dire suspicion that an awful calamity
rests beyond the lack of information from
the gulf coast 1t is rumored here that i'm
mense destruction has befallen Galveston
and other places. 1t is said that the
bridges leading from the mainland to the
island have been swept away by the terri
BILE force of the wind and the rolling up of
the water in the bay. The bridges are four
in number, three for railroad uses, and one
the Galveston county public wagon and
pedestrian bridge. 1t seems hardly credi-
BILE that all these bridges could be swept
away without the city suffering tre-
mendously in the loss OF buildings, general
property and lives. Not wire is working
into Galveston, either telegraph or tele-
phone, and as all bridges carried wires. the
fear that all are gone is strengthened. The
Postal Telegraph Company this evening
started out a repair train from Houston,
but it proceeded few miles only before
it had to stop because of storm obstruc-
tions. and returned to Houston without
making an Improvement in the service.
This morning the surf was breaking over
the beach from East Broadway in Calves
ton around to the foot of Twenty fourth
street and the water crept in several blocks
and in low places and up the streets a
dozen squares.
At noon, the wind veered to the east and
the water on both the bay and gulf was
rising slightly, growing more boisterous.
There is a report that the steamer Char
lotte NJ. Allen has gone ashore. but it can

ALTON, ILL.,, Sept. S.-Two bloodhounds
and a posse of fifty men under the Rev.
Owen W. Rose, a minister of the gospel, of
Sebula, Ia, are securing the country in the
neighborhood of Godfrey, Ill. just north
of this city in search of two negroes, for
the purpose Of lynching them. Mr.. Rose
has requested the authorities not to inter-
fere in case the men are taken. as he in
tends to string them up by their legs with
the heads dangling downward and shoot
them to death. Up. to late hour nothing
had been heard from the pursuers and it is
believed the negroes are still at large.
William Riggs, brother-in-law of the
Rev. Mr.. Rose, lives on farm two miles
west of Godfrey He was in the field cut
ting corn yesterday when two negroes ap-
preached him and asked for work. He told
them that he had no work to offer them
and they demanded that he give them all
the money he had. Riggs saw that he had
no show in physical encounter with his
two visitors and he put his hand IN his
pocket to give them 60 cents, all the money
he had with him. The instant he let go OF
his corn knife. his only weapon of de-
fense, the negroes knocked him down and
went at him with raZors. After making
several horrible gashes and cuts with their
weapons rendering Riggs practically help
less the two negroes proceeded to draw
lines in circles around his legs, making
many cuts and figures. When they had
tired of this occupation they left their vic
tim in the field. Riggs lay there bleeding
and helpless for more than an hour before
he was found by his brother-in-law, who
had been visiting at the farm.

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Sept. S-As a fit-
ting close to the greatest political day
South Bend has ever had. Charles l.. Jew
ett, of New Albany, Ind, delivered a fine
address on the money question. fully $500
people listening to the ex-chairman of the
Democratic state central committee, who
is now a sound-money Republican. Mr..
Jewett is an able talker and his excellent
address clearly demonstrated the evils of
the Kansas City platform. His logic was
sound and the three thousand and more
who heard him applauded him tc the echo.
The spirit of the occasion was as lively as
in the afternoon, when Colonel Roosevelt
spoke, which is somewhat remarkable, be-
cause of the fact that the audience was
composed largely of marchers Of the after
noon, who were tired. Colonel Jewett be-
gan his address at s o'clock and was to
speak for thirty-five minutes, but frequent
applause heightened the time of delivery to
an hour. Colonel Jewett's speech was so
convincing that some of his former Demo-
cratic friends were heard TO remark that
they thought he was right on the money
question at least.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO, Ind, Sept. S.-Otis c. Pollard,
a leading young attorney of this city. and
his father. ex-Judge c. N. Pollard, also Of
this place, have renounced Organism and
are outspoken for Mckinley. Both are life
long Democrats, the latter being the only
Democrat ever elected to the judgeship in
this district. He was until recently secre-
tary of the Democratic county committee.
He has taken the stump for Mckinley and
will be actively engaged for the Republican
cause to the end of the campaign. In his
opening speech he said:
.'The peril of the Republic, the danger OF
subversion of our free institutions lies
not in the bugbear OF imperialism. but in
the threatened assault OF Bryan and his
hosts in the adoption of that leaders erro-
neous and revolutionary ideas. He respects
no ancient landmarks. With Mr.. Bryan
and his party almost everything is wrong:
The Supreme Court is wrong, the federal
courts are wrong in using the power OF in
junction, senators are elected wrong. the
currency is wrong, the Philippine policy is
wrong, everything wrong except Bryan. In
his efforts TO array man against man.
neighbor against neighbor. class against
class, and require the service and support
of incongruous. antagonistic and utterly ir-
reconcilable for the promotion of his per-
sonal ambitions, he is the most remarkable
leader that American politics has ever
known, the most adroit and dangerous.
-Four years ago Bryan told the farmers
they ought to be the enemies of the money
loaning class. because they were paying
high rates OF interest. Their farms were
covered with mortgages and they were re-
ceiving practically nothing for their
products: that II Mckinley was elected and
established the gold standard the mort
cages would be foreclosed. and. the farmers
rendered homeless, would be driven TO town
to compete with day laborers already
struggling for existence. Fortunately the
farmers turned deaf to this false ap-

COL. RoosEvELT,s SPEECH.
Horcibie Reasons Why Bryan Should
he Defeated Again.

Following is the text of Colonel Roose-
velt's speech:
1t Is certainly curious thing that in
TINS campaign We should find that the very
success or our policies Is used as an argu-
nent against US. In 1896 Mr.. Bryan proph-
esIeu terrible disaster II the gold standard
was continued, and, in especial, he prom
ised misery TO the farmer and to the wage
worker. Now, prosperity has come to all
classes In an unheard-of degree, and this
- USED as an argument why 1t is safe to
Try the experiment OF putting into power
tne men whose creed is the creed of envy
and OF hate and Of Industrial ruin. Busi-
ness men are appealed to TO vote for Mr.
Bryan on the ground that the country is
SO prosperous that he could not harm us
much. The wageworker is appealed to to
vote for Mr.. Bryan on the ground that,
though he has prospered, yet the capitalist
has prospered, too, and that no policy
which does good to the capitalist should be
followed, even though ii benefits the wage
worker In other words, that he ought not
10 balance his own welfare against the
cnance to do injury to somebody else. This
Is not an exaggeration, gentlemen. 1t is
simple statement OF what the appeal made
Dy our opponents is in the last analysis.
Ihey appeal TO the base passions of envy
and hatred; TO the forces that tell for civic
disorder and social disruption. They are
nostlie TO an upright and fearless judiciary,
as they are hostile to a sound currency.
Again the appeal is made to the short
signted and careless to vote for Mr.. Bryan
and Bryanite Congress, because, forsooth,
a Republican Senate will prevent them do
ing wrong. And latterly rather more alb
surd varient has been made to this appeal
IL being solemnly alleged that 1t Is safe to
elect Mr.. Bryan because, in such case,
prior TO the 4th of March next the Repub-
hcans and sound-money men will have
passed such legislation as would shackle
their Bryanite successors. 1t seems we'll
nlgh incredible that any man of average
good sense and honesty should make such
an appeal. but Ii Is nevertheless actually
the fact that Ii has been made in one of
the responses called forth by Secretary
Cages clear showing of the ruin to our
national finances which would be brought
about by Mr.. Bryan's election.
Let no man delude himself by any such
plea. The Kansas City platform of this
year has expressly reiterated every finan-
cial and civic heresy to which the Chicago
platform or 1896 was committed, and above
all has reiterated its adherence to the free
coinage of silver. Mr.. Bryan apparently
finds it polite for campaign purposes to
keep very quiet about free silver east of
the Mississippi, though west of that river
his henchmen are allowed TO talk about it
as much as they wish But whether they
are silent or noisy the fact of their adhe-
sion to their policy remains, and the effort
to seem to sink the issue does not alter in
the least the fact that 1t is an issue 1t
