of Sicily, has commenced terrible
eruption. A colossal column of fire is
rising, and incandeseent stones are be-
ing emitted from the craters. Many
houses on The isls2d have been de-

The Stromboli volcano was reported
September 8 to be In full eruption. 1t
was then throwing up columns of fire
and torrents os stones as it is now.
This eruption lasted for some days.
Lava streamed down the sides of the
mountain to the sea while huge bould-
ers were hurled from the crater to a
great height, falling into the sea fully
two and a half miles from the shore
Coincident with this eruption there was
probably a submarine eruption be-
tween Stromboli and Sicily. Stromboli
Is the northernmost of the Lapari ISL
ands in the Mediterranean, off the
north coast of Sicily. Its population is
placed at 500 persons and it's area is
eight square miles. 1t is wholly of vol
canic formation and has constantly
active volcano 3040 feet high. The
crater on top has been extinct. the ac-
tive crater being on the side of the
mountain at the height Of about 2t50
feet. On the east side of the island is
the small town of Stromboli.

WELLS PAYS DEATH PENALTY.
Hanged In Atlanta for Killing Freder
lex Pierce, a Blind Man.

Atlanta, July Civ, R. Wells waa
hanged in the execution chamber al
the Tower this morning shortly after
II o'clock by Sheriff Nelms, for the
killing of Frederick Pierce, a bliud
man. last February.
Wells met his fate calmly and gave
the prison officials absolutely no trou
BILE. For several days before the
time for the execution he had express
ed a desire that the ordeal might be
finished as quickly as possible. When
he saw that there was no chance for
him to receive a respite or pardon the
condemned man frequently said he
did not care how soon the execution
took place.
Wells, some time before his convic'
tion on the charge of murder, pro
fessed conversion and was baptized
in a bath tub at the Tower.
The crime for which he was hanged
was decidedly out of the ordinary. He
met Pierce on the street and had a
conversation with him that finally be.
came dispute. Wells. who was the
proprietor of a small wood yard on
Pratt street, asked Pierce why he did
not patronize him. While discussing
this the difficulty arose.
Pierce struck at Wells with a stick
and is said to have knocked him down
Wells then started away, but on finl
ing that he was bleeding on the head
from the blow given him by the blind
man, returned and stabbed him in the
back Pierce died the next day.
The blind man was being guided
by his little son, who, when he saw
that his father had been attacked
took his stick and struck Wells. The
little fellow was beating his fathers
assallant when persons nearby came
to his assistance.

BRYAN WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF

Effort and Object of the New Party
viii Be to Unity the so-caIled Lib.

Organizations in Several States.
New York, July 21.-At conference
just held at Manhattan Beach in which
the principal participants were United
States Senator f. T. Dubois, of Ida.
no; ex-senator r. f. Pettigrew, OF
South Dakota; Professor Garrett
Droppers, of South Dakota, for ten
years professor of political economy in
the Imperial university, Toxic, and
George Shibley, of Washington, plans
We're discussed for a new national
party
SO far as it has gone, the new par
ty seems to be an effort to unity the
so-called liberal Democracy, which al,
ready has state organizations in New
York, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
Ohio and Iowa.
Mr.. Shibley presented for the con.
sideration of the other members OF
the conference complete outline OF
plan for a national organization on
lines similar to the state organizations
of the liberal Democracy. At the
close of the conference Senator Petit.
grew gave statement in which he
said
"Mr. Bryan will not be candidate
of the regular Democracy in 1904 but
he and his friends hope that he will
have much to say regarding the plat.
form and the management of the cam.
paign. If he does not, Mr.. Bryan and
his associates will form u new party,
based on the Kansas City platform.
Free silver will not again be a po,
litical issue, When we demanded
the free coinage of silver we wanted
more money. Since then immense
new gold fields in Alaska and South
Africa have been opened; there is
more money than ever before, and
greater prosperity. The 'rssult is what
We predicted When we asked for more
money. Times are good in the west,
in spite of the beef trust. The farm.
ers get more for their cattle and high.
er prices for their cereals.
"But on other principles, aside from
silver, the west has not changed. We
adhere to the original principles OF
Democracy, although the country is
fast drifting away from all its old
moorings. The main trouble is the
departure from the original form of
government. A Fourth of July oration
of ten years ago will not fit today"
Mr.. Shibley, who drafted the outline
of the new party, said:
Il have been engaged for years in
the effort to establish the referendum,
not as party issue, but as an essen.
trial to majority rule. We have now
an organization in eacn state which
intends to put all candidates on rec,
ord on this question, and II 80 bound
to be adopted and maoe a campaign
issue sooner or later"
