supported Bryan and the Kansas City
platform.
Milton Park said he was in hearty
sympathy with the movement, but he
was dead against any fusion. Sena-
tor Allen then made quite an extended
address which was received with re-
peated applause, especially those parts
Of it in which he expressed his belief
that the populist party and populist
principles would eventually control
this government.
The remainder of the afternoon was
taken up with reading letters from
populists, Bryan democrats and others
who could not attend. These letters

The conference of populists called
to meet at Denver by ]. A. Edgerton
assembled at the ST. James hotel at z
p. M, July 27, according to the call.
The large hall attached to the hotel
was used as a place of meeting. The
meeting was called to order and prayer
was offered by Rev. Mr.. Jordan of
Denver, after which Mr.. Edgerton
made short address in which he
stated that the object of the meeting
was to devise ways and means by
which the two branches of the party
could be united as well as other re-
form organizations having the same
objects in view. He was followed by
Milton Park of Texas, treasurer Of the
allied peoples party, who spoke in the
same vein.
A song, the words and music of
which were both written for the occa-
sion, entitled "The Old Guard" was
sung by Miss A. M. Smith, who had
a most beautiful soprano voice. The
singing and the song was received with
round of cheers and hand-clapping.
The words were by J. A. Edgerton,
and the music, which will be printed
at some future time, was by l.. Du Pri
The song follows:

came from all over the country, which
goes to show that there are living,
fighting populists in every state and
territory in the Union.
A committee of three on organiza-
ton, composed of T. H. Tibbles, Ne

J. H. Ferriss, Illinois, was appointed.

THE OLD GUARD

A health to the old guard boys,
A health to the brave old guard,
Who dared to march in the ranks of truth,
In times when the way was hard
Who bravely stood for the peoples cause,
And made that cause their own,
In days before it had won applause,
In days when they stood alone.
A health to the old guard boys,
A health to the brave old guard,
Who gave their time and their life and means,
With hope of no reward.
Who battled long 'gainst Mammon's might,
Like veterans true and tried,
Who dared to fight for the love of right,
Tho they fought on the losing side.
A health to the old guard boys,
A health to the brave old guard,
Who little knew how much we owe,
To these warriors battle-scarred;
But when the fight is won at last
The world will place each name,
Away up high for futures eye,
On the deathless roll of fame.
Mr. .Edgerton in his speech said a
misapprehension had been enter
tanned by some in regard to the meet
ing from the fact that some of the
daily press had declared that it was
in opposition to Bryan. He thought
that the meeting would be a distinct
to the Bryan democrats as
it would give notice to the reorgan-
izers that they would never get any
help from the million or more OF
populists in the United States that had

PRICE OF GLASS SOARING.
An Increase of 20 Per Cent. VIII Take
Effect on June 4.

An Increase of 20 Per Cent. VIII Take
Effect on June 4.
The steady rise in the price of glass,
which has been noticeable during the past
month, will reach its climax June i, when
an advance of 20 per cent. over prevailing
prices is expected to go into effect. The
advance Is the result of a meeting of large
jobbers In Cleveland on Thursday and Fri
day, at which representatives of the three
glass combines, the Independent, the Amer
lean and the Federation. which practically
control the production of glass, were pres
ent.
Representatives of the Daniel Stewart
Drug Company and the Johnson-Wood-
bridge Company, respectively Of this city,
were at the meeting and assented to the
raise in prices. One of the representatives
said yesterday that such action was made
necessary because of the high prices de-
manded of the jobbers by the manufac-
turers and something had to be done to
protect their own trade.
The advance will be in all kinds of plate
and window glass. Relative to the agree
ment, the Daniel Stewart Company made a
number of changes in their price list yes
the price list Of Dec. 10, 1902, a discount of
80 and 10 per cent. will be made on the first
three brackets and q discount of 80 and 20
per cent. on the remainder. After June / a
straight 30 per cent. discount on the former
will be maintained, and on the latter the
discount will be reduced 80 and 10 per cent
instead OF 80 and 20 per cent.

THEY ENJOYED THE VISIT
AMERICAN FEDERATION OF MUSI-
CLANS HAS ADJOURNED.
The Next Meeting VIII BE Held in
New York Cfty-Work Of the
Last Days Session.

The next convention OF the American Fed
Grafton of Musicians will be held in New
York city May 10 next year. The delegates
voted for New. York as a convention city
yesterday afternoon Immediately before adj
journment, at $3.50 o'clock. During the ses-
sion the musicians devoted much time to
adopting resolutions of thanks to Indianap-
oils, the mayor and citizens for hospitable
treatment while in the city. and for the
courtesies extended by the individual mu-
sicians of the city. Henry Warrum. spokes-
man for the local association OF musicians,
was thanked by the delegates by resolution
for his kind words of welcome.
Business matters Of the union occupied
the attention of the delegates during the
greater part Of yesterdays proceedings
No resolutions of great Importance to the
union were adopted, and nothing outside of
the ordinary transpired. When the con-
vention adjourned the delegates were ready
to return to their homes, and many of them
did so last night
President Weber, Secretary Miller. Treas
urer Ostendorf and the newly elected exec
utive board members held the first meet
ing since the reorganization in the Denison
House last night. The new executive board
worked on questions raised during the con-
vention, and formulated policy which
will be pursued by the Federation during
the year. One of the first things to be done
will be by President Weber and Treasurer
Ostendorf. who will, within three weeks.
go TO New York city, and with the assist
ance of the district officer there bring about
amalgamation with the Musicians Mutual
Protective Union. This amalgamati0n Is
of great moment to the federation, as the
entrance of 200 New York and Pennsyl-
vania musicians into the organization is
one OF the great successes of the present
officers. President Weber and Treasurer
Ostendorf will also act as organizers for
the federation during the coming year.
They have numerous engagements with dis
trict officers, and will proceed with the
work as soon as IL Is convenient for the
officers TO leave their homes.
The adjournment of the convention does
not relieve Secretary Owen Miller from his
work He will be in the city for several
days experimenting the mailing of conven-
ton reports to the delegates and attending
TO routine matters left in his charge. With
concerts, balls, entertainments and other
schemes to raise money 1t is hoped that
before the convention assemblies in New
York next year enough money will have
been raised to insure the home for the in
firm and aged players.

CRUSHED BY ELEVATOR.


Frank Crosby. colored porter at the
new Claypool Hotel. was killed by the
freight elevator while at work yesterday
morning. He was a new employee, and was
detailed to run the elevator that carries
the freight from the basement to the side
walk. 1t is thought that when he started
the elevator upwards the iron cover over
the sidewalks refused to operate and he
was crushed between the cover and the
floor of the elevator.
His lifeless body was found on the ce-
ment floor of the basement by other en-
rloyes of the hotel, and was taken to the
morgue in the City Dispensary ambulance,
in charge of DR.. Crockett, where it was
later identified by one of the colored en-
ployes at the police station.

BEER IS INTERDICTED.
Chairman Reach Frowns Upon It's Use
I'm Campaign.


The pacific condition of the Democratic
party was disturbed long enough yester-
day to permit Andrew II. Sweeney to de-
cline TO become candidate for mayor, to
permit W. M Fogarty to announce his can
cidacy for city clerk. and to permit Chair
man Reach TO interdict free beer In the
primary campaign and to say he would fix
the date Of the convention next "Wednesday.
Waving done these things. the party sub
sided into its close attention to the stage
wherein J. r. Mccullough alone plays the
part OF candidate for mayor. The specta-
tors are watching the wings and traps
expecting John w. Hoffman or Joseph
=. Bell TO appear. If Mr.. Hoffman or
Mr.. Bell have any positive intentions as to
entering the mayoralty race they have not
so stated.
Chairman Reach has interdicted free beer
IN the campaign for nominations. In doing
50 he said:
II do not intend to dictate to the candi-
dates what sort OF methods they shall use
In their campaigns for the nomination.
That rests entirely with them. but as the
great issue OF this campaign is good gov
out of the contest. I think IL should be
campaign characterized by the entire alb
sence of the brewery influence, and when
! say this / mean all breweries / have
no fayorites among them
II shall not, / said, presume to die
tate TO the candidates as TO whether or
not they shall use beer. They will answer
70 the people and not to me for what
ever methods they may employ, and have
no doubt that IL beer is used that fact
viii be taken into consideration in making
the nominations"
