BRYAN's MUSCLE SAVED HIM.
A Big Drunken Man Started to Do Bodily
Harm to the Ex-PresidentlaI
Candidate.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 3.-The quick
ness and physical power of W. J.
Bryan saved him Monday night in
park near Lincoln. Mr.. Bryan and
several friends were leaving the place
at the conclusion of the Labor day
exercises, when they came across q
big fellow who had a much smaller
man down and was pummeling him.
Mr.. Bryan took hold of the man and
pulled him off his beaten antagonist.
The big man drew a knife and re-
volyer and started for the Bryan
party. He was at once seized and
disarmed before he could do any
harm. Mr.. Bryan was the first to
reach him. The man, who was
drunk. fought desperately, but the
ex-presidential candidates muscle
prevailed.
rational democratic committee, who
have Heretofore stood steadfastly for
a reaffirmatioR of the Kansas City
platform, proposed compromise and
had printed and circulated among
the delegates the following proposed
plank; "The democracy of Iowa In

reatiirms the principles Of the last
national platform. with the further
declaration that intervening events
have so changed conditions that the
silver question is not now an issue"

ROOSEVELT'S TOUR.
The President Speaks on Trusts
at Fitchburg, Mass.
PHILIPPINE ARMY ALSO DEFENDED.
Frequent Stops Made In Massachusetts and
ct Each Place the President Delivered
. Short speech-A shower Bath Of
Roses Ut Fitchburg.

Dalton, Mass, Sept. 3.-Presldent
Roosevelt yesterday took notice OF
his return visit to Massachusetts, by
delivering at Fitchburg another
speech on the trust question, in or
der that he might fully answer his
critics and to more clearly define his
attitude on that subject. He also
launched into defense Of the army
in the Philippines during his speech
at Springfield. The impression had
gone forth that any views he might
express regarding the acquisition Of
territory by the United States would
be sure to be coldly received, but the
demonstrations Of approval which
greeted his utterances dispelled this
idea.
Frequent stops again were made
yesterday and at each place the
president delivered a speech. Fitch
burg's reception was notable for the
size of the crowd and the enthusiasm
which the people displayed. While
riding up the streets the president
was given shower bath of roses.
A canopy of bunting had been erect
ed and from the center was suspend
ed q huge bell. As the presidents
carriage passed under it an unseen
hand loosened the covering OF the
bell and an avalanche of loose roses
fell over him. There was another
interesting feature. In the midst OF
the silence which reigned while the
president was giving his views on
the trust question, "Viva Ia Presi-
dente" rang out in sharp voice,
and Cuban patriarch who gave ex-
preston to this sentiment was loudly
applauded.
In the afternoon at Worcester the
president lunched with Senator Hoar,
and while at the house stood for q
photographer with sofe and Ozziz
Manner, two little Armenian chill
dren, aged seven and five years, re-
spcctively, whom he had saved from
being deported, through the infiu-
cnce Of Senator Hoar.
At Springfield another hearty
greeting was given the president.
The address there followed brief
visit to the national armory. On the
way to the train the presidents car
riage stopped in front of the Veter-
ans Memorial home and he spoke a
few words to the old soldiers who
were drawn up in front of the house.
Tn the course of his tour OF the
New England states the president
has availed himself Of each opportu-
nifty to make complimentary refer
ences to the members Of his official
family. Last night, however, Secre-
tary Cortelyou came in for his praise.
At Westheld, the scene of the boy
hood days of the presidents helper,
a stop of half an hour was made.
Applause was loud and continuous
when he mentioned the secretary's
name.
Gov. Crane last night had the presi-
dent as his guest here. The town
was beautifully Illuminated, Japan
ese lanterns and red, white and blue
lights being displayed everywhere.
Early this morning the president and
his entire party were given drive
from Dalton to Stockbridge, pass
ing through Pittsfeld and Lenox.
The opportunity afforded a view Of
the picturesque scenery Of the Berk-
shire hills.

DRUGGISTS INDIGNANT.
SAY SAIO0NKEEPERS ARE RACK OF
ORDER FOR THEM TO FAY AMOlNI
OF THEIR BONDS.

At q meeting of the Manhattan Pharmaceut-
cal Association held yesterday at the College OF
Pharmacy No. 10 West Sixty-eighth-st-. 1t was
announced that two hundred druggists, members
of the association. had recently been Informed
by the State Commissioner of Excise that they
had violated the excise law in selling lquor on
their premises without physicians prescriptions
The Commissioner ordered them ~ pay s'"o'
the amount of the bond which they have been
required to give to sell liquors in quantities of
not less than five gallons or on prescription
There was Indignation among the druggists.
They are inclined to believe that saloonkeepers
are the instigators of the movement, which
they contend is unjust The officers of the as
ISOLATION said that they had examined the
charges made by the Commissioner against tn@
two hundred members and found them 10 ne
unwarranted. They charged that this move
ment had been started against druggists who
would be able to pay the forfeiture of the S''o
bond ignoring entirely the smaller druggists
The association adopted resolution denying
the charges.
W w Cantwell was retained by the assoCid-
ton 10 defend the actions which will be brought
by the State against the accused druggists. IN
