then that the national chairman
informed them that the men in
that hall would be recognized by
the national committee as the
populist party in Nebraska. The
Nebraska Independent, national
organ of populism, was turned
over to the straight populists by
its editor, Mr.. Tibbles. A represen-
tative of the laboring element was
present and pledged the support
of organized labor to the move
ment, provided no fusion was to
be effected with any party in the
future. He was abundantly re-
assured on this point.

terms of the fusion deal and
while fusion was agreed upon by

more than fusion in name.

UNIQUE WEDDING OF MuTEa,
Bride and Groom Speak DiReren Languages in Finger Talk and Arc
 Acquainted Four Days.

A wedding with unusual features was held the other morning at the residence of Justice N A. Ladd at Madison, Wis, when Michael Wolf of Arcadia, Wis, and Miss Bessie Ander- son, a pretty Madison girl, both deaf mutes, were married. The couple met for the first time only four days ago and spent the intervening time in courting. get. ting acquainted and ds~ising coni- mon language, for the groom, being a German, cannot understand E"i,- ten English nor the reading of the lips, by which his more accomplished bride receives communication from friends. He uses finger talk entire ly. None of the parents of either of the principals is deaf mute. Mr. Wolf is a stone cutter, the son of well-to-do parents, while his bride lived at Madison with her mother and stepfather. Owing to the language difficulty, the questions and answers of the wedding ceremony were re- duced to writing, long, amusing and paDtomimic performance. They were attended by MT. and Mrs. Robert Pedder. of Arcadia, also deaf mutes. but who have a bright, talkative lit tie son with them. It was through Mrs. Pedder that their union was brought about. She was the girl chum of the bride at deaf mute school Recently she proposed mar riage to her two friends. They found the idea agreeable and she came on and assisted in the details. The bride and groom left for Arcadia. where they wSl live.

STARVED To DEATH
IN LONELY CABIN
SUFFERING FROM MALARIA.
BODY OF JOHN BROWN FOUND IN
A HOUSE NEAR POOLER.

Discovery Was Made by a Central
Railroad Waterman and a TeIe-
gram Was Sent to Coroner Keller
Who Investigated the Case and
said Malaria and Starvation
Caused the Mans Death-Had Been
Dead for Some Time when Found.
Coroner Decided No Inquest Was
Necessary.
In a lonely cabin beside the Central
Railroad tracks near Pooler, John
Brown, a white man apparently about
20 years of age, suffering from mala-
ria and unable to go and beg for
food, slowly starved to death. His
body was found early yesterday after
noon by a railroad Waterman and a
telegram was sent to Coroner Keller,
notifying him of the death.
Later in the afternoon, the coroner
visited the cabin and examined the
body The bare cabin, the empty
vessels where food supplies had once
been kept and the emacated form of
the corpse, all told the story of such
man in civilized lands.
Dead for Some Time.
The man had been dead for some time
when the body was found. just how
long, is not known. DR.. Keller ar
ranged with a man in the neighbor-
hood to watch the body last night, and
to-day it will be turned over to the
county authorities for burial. So far
as in known Brown had no relatives.
For some time, DR.. Keller says, he has
been living on the county.
He had been in i'll health, but man
aged TO subsst in some sort of fash
ion on the supplies he drew from the
county and what little he could make
here and there. How long he had been
so i'll that he was not able to get about
is not known. To have starved, how
ever he must have been alone in the
cabin for week or more. During the
last days of his illness. he was prob
ably too weak to even get water and
his sufferings must have been in
tense.
Malaria the Cause.
DR.. Keller says the man was suffer-
ing from malaria, and that malaria
and starvation, together, caused death.
No death certificate has as yet been
made out, but the cause will be at
tributed to these two, when the GER
tificate is made out to-day.
Practically nothing is known here
about Brown. DR.. Keller decided that
no inquest was necessary, as there
seemed to be no doubt as to the cause
of death. The coroner did not reach
the cabin until early last night, and
it was too late then to have the body
removed. The burial will take place
to-day, the county defraying the ex-
penses.
