The platform adopted declares that
the promises made by the Mormon
Church At the time Of the Woodruff
manifesto fourteen years ago were
crafty and insincere; that the sought.
for division Of the people on party
lines was not carried out In good
faith. that both party organizations
have been dominated and used for the
double purpose OF maintaining an &c.

WIN. CAMPBELL SHOT
In BACK BY NEGRO
AssAILANT WHO SHOT FROM AM.
BUSH Is CAPTURED IN CENTRE.
VILE AND FEELING HAS BEEN
STRONG AGAINST HIM.

Randolph. December 23.-(speclaL.) Mr..
William Campbell was fired upon by
negro from ambush Tuesday afternoon
and seriously wounded. He was driving
his team through scope Of woods near
his home about two miles from this
place, when he was passed by a negro
by the name of Hardy Murphy, alias
Perkins, who was standing near the road
After Mr.. Campbell had gone about thir-
ty yards from where the negro was
standing the latter emptied the contents
of a singh -barrelled shotgun into his
back infiicting what appeared at first
to be a fatal wound and then made his
escape into the woods.
Mr.. Campbelrs cries soon brought his
family and neighbors to his assistance
and he was carried TO his home nearby
where he received medical assistance.
Today he is resting very well with some
prospects of recovery.
After the shooting posse was organ
lied to nunt for the would-be assassin
and the trail has been kept hot until
yesterday when he was captured in Cen
treville, about fifteen miles from the
scene of his crime.
No cause other than a desperate de-
sire to commit murder can be assigned
for the rash act of the negro, who lived
near Mr. Campbell out in the coaling
district of the Shelby Iron company. Mr..
Campbell had never had the slightest
trouble of any kind with the negro and
barely knew him, Notwithstanding the
fact that they had lived near each other
for quite a while. Some think that the
negro took Mr.. Campbell for brother of
Mr.. Campbell with whom lie had worked
about a year ago. But even In that case
the mystery is no nearer cleared up for
the other Mr. Campbell has never had
the slightest trouble with the negro
either. 1t looks like very ugly affair on
the part of the negro and murder was UNI
doubtedly his intention He claims since
his capture that the shooting was an
accident, but this plea carries no weight
here where the circumstances OF the case
are better known.
The shot used were No. C bird shot and
the aim of the negro was very deliber-
ate no doubt as about 125 shot entered
the back of Mr.. Campbell in the region
of the kidneys. If larger snot had been
used in the gun there Is not the slight
est doubt but that Mr.. Campbell would
have been killed instantly.

Tn charge of a committee from the Progressive union the party will make an inspection of the Mississippi river leyee system, the United States naval drydock and the harbor at New Or leans. &
 The members of the congressional committee were astonished at the prog ress and possibilities of the canal at Panama, but believe that it would take more time and monsy than at first anticipated. Most of them seemed to favor a sea level canal. They say also that all differences with Panama would be amicably adjusted, several members favoring a/ commercial and postal convention between. the coun- tries.
 All agreed that the United States would. have. to maintain order and pro- tect the labor during the canal work. The party will leave for Washington tonight to be present at the opening of congress-

Egeberg, the New Danish Wrestler, Does the Trick Trying to Bring GOtch and IenkinS Together.

H. H. Egeberg, the champion wrest- Ter of Denmark, before 2,5O0 persons, at Sulzer's Harlem River Casino last night, won the Graeco-R Roman cham pionship of the world by gaining the best two in three falls from John Fleming, "The Butcher Boy,'' cham piOn of America.
 Egeberg won the first fall with q reverse body hold in 19 minutes and AS seconds, after some of the finest and most skillful wrestling ever seen in this country.
 E After ten minutes rest the men appeared again. The Butcher Boy is 8 great favorite on the upper east side, and was greatly encouraged by the cheers of his friends. He won the second fall with a combination par and neck hold in IA minutes and l4 seconds. s..e
 Once the. hold was obtained by. the Butcher Boy" it took him only two minutes to force the shoulders of the Dane to the mat
 The house was in an uproar when the Butcher Boy'' won the fall.
 Both men looked fresh after the ten minutes rest, when they appeared for the next fall.
 Rough work was the rule in the fi- nal. Both men got good holds, time and again, only to have them broken, and after twenty three minutes hard work : ina which every subterfuge known to the wrestler was resorted to- Egeberg got hammer-lock hold on Fleming.
 After two minutes work, in which lit looked as though the arms of the Butcher Boy would be torn from their sockets, the Dane won the final bout and the. championship, after 25 minutes and At seconds work.
 Hughey Leonard, wrestling instruc- tor of the New York Athletic club. was the referee
 Sam See oficiated as timekeeper, Patrick Coffee and John P. Dunn were in Piening's corner, and Ernest Roe ebeF satfd Alex Swanson looked after the interests of Egeberg. @s

BICYCLING.
READY FOR THE
SIX DAY RACE

A cocktail will be served up tonight at Madison Square garden as an ap- petizer for the six day bicycle race which starts at midnight Sunday. The first event will be in the shape of fifteen mile paced race between Bob by" Walthour, the worlds middle and long distance champion, and Hugh Mclean, of Boston, the champion mot0r-paced rider of America.
 Everything is in readiness for to- nights race as we'll as the long grind. The track upon which work was started Thursday afternoon was com pleted late yesterday afternoon. gG was thoroughly tested last night by wheels that went flying over the brand new boards of the steep-banked oval.
 Bobby Walthour reached the city yesterday afternoon from his home in Atlanta in company with Gus Lawson who is to pace him in to-night's race. Lawson set a fast clip for the blond haired Southerner in trials last night as they tore around the oval at fear full pace. Walthour appears to be in the very best form. Experts who watched him flying around the saucer were unanimous in the opinion that Mclean must be at his best to carry off the honors tonight.
 Mclean, with Turville, left Boston last night on the Fall River line, and with them were several other riders who are to take part infthe six day race. All are enthusiastic over Nc Leans chances in to-nights race against Walthour.
 The short distance professional and amateur races tonight have the lar gest entry list ever known before in the garden over two hundred in aIl Nearly all the riders who will take part in the six day race have entered for the ten mile international open event. The two amateur races--a one mile handicap. ana 8 five mile open have drawn such a large entry that seven or eieht heats will be necessary to decide them.
 Wizard Stone, in his daredevil, bIood-curdling act, Looping the Loop," will be one of the big features of the show tonight, and Margaret Cast, the woman's paced champion of the world, will give an exhibition be- hind pace.
