CONDEMNS THE PLATFORM.
Hon. w. j. Bryan Comments on the
Work Of the Ohio Democratic Cone
xenIinn.

Lincoln, Neb., July 16.-ln extended
comment on the platform adopted by
the Ohio democratic convention, w. j.
Bryan criticises the convention for
Its failure to reaffirm the Kansas City
platform and for what he regards as
the weakness of some of the planks
it did adopt. Mr.. Bryan insists that
the convention made a mistake in
making himself an issue, and says:
"Mr. Bryan is not "A candidate for
any office, and a mention of him
might have been construed by some
as an Endorsement of him for Office.
The vote should have been upon the
naked proposition to endorse the
platform of last year, and then no
one could have excused his abandon
ment of democratic principles by
pleading his dislike for Mr.. Bryan"
Referring to the platform he con-
| tinues: THE convention not only
failed, but refused to endorse or re-
affirm the Kansas City platform, and,
| from the manner in which the gold
element has reioiced over this feature
of the convention, one would suppose
| that the main object of the conven-
ton was not to write a new platform,
but to repudiate the one upon which
the last national campaign was
| fought.
"The gold papers assume that the
convention refused to adopt the Kan
sas City platform because it con-
tained a silver plank. If so, it would
have been more courageous to have
declared openly for the gold standard.
If the gold standard is good, it ought
to have been endorsed-if bad, it
ought to have been denounced. To
ignore the subject entirely was mex
cusable.
"The money question is not yet out
of politics. Every session of congress
will have TO deal with it. Republic
cans declare that it is dead, but they
keep working at it,"
Mr.. Bryan comments on parts of
the platform, especially those refer
ring to state and municipal affairs.
Referring to the senatorial fight
and the reported candidacy of John
r. Mclean, he says:
'Did the leaders ignore the money
question in order to please those who
bolted. Or does Mr.. Mclean want
to be left free to affiliate with the
republicans on financial questions in
case of his election?"
He concludes as follows: "If any
of the Ohio democrats feel aggrieved
because the reorganizing element of
the party triumphed at the conven-
ton let them not visit their disap-
pointment on the state ticket but
rather see to the nominations of SEN
ators and representatives VINO will
select trustworthy senator. Let
them see to it also that the state
platform is made at the primaries
next time, rather than at the conven-
ton"

SOME NEW POINTS IN LAW.
MRS. Botkin's Attorneys VIII Present
Them in a Petition for "A Writ OF
Hsbeas Corpus.

San Francisco, July 15.-The attor-
neys of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, who
has been granted a new trial by the
state supreme court, on the charge
of numbering Mrs. John p. Dunning,
of Delaware, are going to carry her
case to the United States supreme
court. To-day they will file petit
tion in the state courts for a writ of
habeas corpus. 1t is expected the
application will be denied, in which
event the case will be carried to the
federal supreme court Oh writ of
error.
In the petition for writ >of habeas
corpus two new points on the ques-
tion of jurisdiction will be raised.
First, that the sending of a box of
poisoned candy through the mails,
which caused the death of Mrs. Dun
ming and her sister, Mrs. Deane, was
not a crime in this state; second,
that the constitution of the United
States prohibits the trial of an nc

IN a BARREL
@. .. Graham Voyages Through the
whirlpool Rapids at Niagara Falls.

Niagara Falls, n. Y, July 49,
About 1900 persons saw Carlisle D..
Graham make his fifth successful voy-
age through the Whirlpool Rapids in
a barrel Sunday afternoon. The bar
rel is of locust wood, oval shaped, ex-
cept that it has a fat head. 1t is
about five feet long, 80 inches in di-
ameter at the foot and 26 inches at
the head. With its 100 pounds of
ballast it weighs 165 pounds. The
start was made from Old Maid of tho
Mist Landing, below the falls. The
barrel was caught in an eddy and
circled about a little above the canti-
lever bridge for quarter of an hour.
The stronger current in the middle
of the stream finally jerked it out
of the eddy into the foaming waters
of the rapids. Passing under the
second bridge the barrel had mar
row escape from being dashed to
pieces against the stone abutments
of the bridge. The passage through
the rapids was swift. 1t took the
barrel five minutes to reach the eddy
from the starting point and 20 min
utes to get out of it, but it took only
3lh minutes to pass through the
rapids and the whirlpool, a distance
of about mile. At no time during
the passage through the rapids was
the barrel lost sight of. 1t was taken
from the water after it had circled
about in the whirlpool for a few min

Decatur yesterday compromised the
$4,000 suit of Mrs. Anna Hatfield for
$4,000, making about $4,000 that will
be paid because a number of boys
had a private telegraph line across a
street. Mrs. Hatfield is manned for
life and James Lee was killed
while playing in Lees yard. A storm
broke the wire and it fell, partly in
the yard and partly on a trolley wire.
The courts held that the city allowed
the wire, dangerous element, to re-
