ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July g. Shortly

morning Mr.. Bryan made a speech, in
which he said:

PARKER REFUSES TO
DISCUSS HIS MESSAGE
Judge Retired Before Convention Named
His Running Mate

ESOPUS, N. Y, July 10.-Long after
midnight the lights in Judge Parker
house were burning, and his visitors had
not returned to the yacht, which still lay
in the river below the house. 1t is believed
that the judge was kept in close touch
with the convention by means of bulletins
telephoned from Kingston, but at a late
hour the newspaper reporters were as
sured that in no contingency would the
judge have anything to say on the sub
ject of his reported message to the con-
vention, or any reply which. it might de-
eide to send to him.
Judge Parker had retired when the
nomination for vice president was made.

For Stealing Cattle.

Sheriff Haun brought in Harvey Van.
gundy on Saturday and put him in Jail.
He is charged with stealing four head
of cattle from VIM. Garland at Klowa
and driving them to Alva and selling
them. He sold them to Mr.. Schnitzler,
an Alva butcher, and his action created
suspicion. Sheriff Oates of Woods coun.
ty questioned him and he told such a
poor story that he arrested him, after
which he confessed.
Before he started away with the cat.
tie he, borrowed So from Mr.. Garland,
for whom he was working, stating that
he had few cattle of his own that he
wished to drive to Alya. Mr.. Garland
let him have the money without sus-
pecting him.
Harvey is only Is years of age. His
family are excellent citizens of Kiowa
and his crime is deeply regretted by
everybody.
He will probably have his prelimi-
nary hearing before Justice Collins in
this city today.

A Rousing Meeting.

The republican county central COM
mittee met in the Cresset ofice on
Saturday with no less than two present.
Resolutions were framed endorsing
Roosevelt, Bailey and Murdock and
said to have been adopted by a rising
vote, whereupon OTIS Lorton and Tom
Kenney arose.
The county convention to select
delegates was set for January 9th,
about month and half before the
state nominating convention. The
haste was to prevent the anti-machine
sentiment in the county within the
republican party to organize. This
makes convention day fall on Wednes-
day when the bosses won't be annoyed
with so many people from the country
and there won't be so much friction
when it comes to ratify the slate.
The meeting was perfectly har-
monious. Tom and Otis agreed
unanimously that Nick is the whole
thing. Tom would like to be sheriff
and Otis would like to be postmaster.

A Suit For Ejectment.

Judge Collins court was occupied on
Friday and Saturday in suit in which
D. s. Jones Of this city was plaintiff
and Sherman Roach of Sharon town.
ship was defendant. Mr.. Jones sued
for possession of his house on his farm
IN Nippawalla township. Mr.. Roach
had leased the farm but not the house,
so it is claimed by Mr.. Jones though
Roach claims that the house was in
cluded in the lease. and he let his SON.
in-law. Bert Mcmillan move into it.
The jury returned verdict in favor
of MIR. Jones. Seward l. Field repre-
sented the plaintiff and Samuel Griffin
represented the defendant. The de-
fense gave notice of an appeal but no
step in that direction has yet been
taken.
On. Morlan and family will occupy
the house in controversy. D. n. and
son, Jesse, are feeding cattle for Mr..
Jones this winter.

The Isabel P. 0. Fight.

AS predicted by the Iudex two weeks
ago. the hight made by the patrons of
the Isabel postofice to retain Uncle
Henry Briggs as postmaster who for
some reason had been removed to make
room tor Jacob Stroll, a professional
politician, proved futile, and MIR.
StrOhl has received his commission.
Mr.. Strohl, however, is still consider
ably embarrassed. The building in
which the postofice is at present locat-
ed, is the property of MIR. Briggs, and
when Mr.. Stroll demanded the office
Mr.. Briggs told him to take It.,
but he told him he couldn't use the
building. 1t happens that there are no
vacant buildings in Isabel and Mr..
Strohl is still looking for place to do
business.
It was stated by some of those who
are responsible for the change that
the remonstrance to this action,
which was sent to Washington few
weeks ago, was signed by only FIVE or
six close friends of Mr.. Briggs and
enemies of Mr. Stroll. In refutatlon
of this claim the following affidavit has
been sent to the Index, from Isabel
with the request that it be published:

A Democratic Club at CriSfield.

The Democrats in Crlsfield and
vicinity are doing their part toward
beginning the campaign early and
right. Along the latter part of the
year they organized the Crlstield Demo
cratic Club and they have been hold
ing regular meetings averaging about
two month. One of the publishers of
the Index had the pleasure of attend
ing a meeting of the Club last Wednes-
day night and we were impressed with
the enthusiasm of the democrats of
that vicinity. E. M. Psdgett is presi-
dent of the club and Lee B. Wilson.
ex.cOunty superintendent of Harper
county, is secretary, and to him is due
much Of the credit for the Clubs
success.
Mr.. Wilson made the club a very
able address on the principles Of
Democracy and the duties confronting
the rank and file of the members of the
party. The meeting was held in the
school house which is large building,
and it was we'll filed.
The Index would like to see the same
spirit of energy prevail in Barber
county. In the approaching campaign
Democratic Club in every precinct
with few pushers and workers could
accomplish much. 1t is going to be
fight between money and the people,
and If the people desire to triumph,
they must be organized and willing to
work.
The Crisfeld Club, at its meeting
last Wednesday adopted the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That the Crisfield Democratic
Club are unalterably opposed to tho policiee
OF the present republican administration.
Resolved, That we are heartily In SYM
pathy with the principles OF the Democracy
as set forth In our last national platform.
Resolved. That we have undiminished faith
in the honesty of w. J. Bryan and regard him
az great Democratic leader.
Resolved, That in the coming presidential
campaign we will not support for the Office Of
president any man who was not in sympathy
with the democratic platform of 1900.

Lincoln Library Meeting.

The Lincoln Library Association
held its annual meeting at tho reading
room last Thursday afternoon. The
treasurer's report showed that $37. 80
had been collected in fees and fines and
that $340.98 had been donated BY
friends of the library. The expense in.
Cured in the running of the library and
reading room for the year amounted to
$253. &C. The association has at pres
sent 500 for the purchase of books.
This purchase will be made as soon as
possible and will add materially to the
good reading on hand.
One of the principal rulings OF the
meeting was to enforce the rule of oil
libraries. that mo book be allowed to
be token from the library by any mem.
Der, until all fines are paid.'' Il Is
hoped that those who owe fines to the
library. will pay them at once. The
fines during the year, when paid up,
help considerably in the current ex.
penses OF the library.
The association voted to subscribe for
q number Of magazines.
The following officers were elected:
President-C. Q. Chandler.
Vice Pres.-Mrs. W. II. McCague.
Sec c.-Treas.-Miss M. Mel! Sample.
Board Of Directors:
Mrs. A. M. Houchin.
Mrs. j. o. Hahn.
Mrs F. H Nixon
Miss Mary Best.
Mrs. G. s. Gleason.
The library is growing. Organized
in 1898 with donation of $50. It now
contains about 1900 books Of all kinds
of good literature. A library and read
ing room is almost necessity for the
education of our young people and a
great pleasure and source of recreation
for those more advanced in years.
The reading room is free to all for
reading purposes and the fee of joining
the library is SOC which is entirely too
small for the benefits obtained. Every
member should feel it their duty and
privilege to pay stated amount each
year for the maintenance of the libra
