NELSON DOES NOT
PROVE HIMSELF DEAD
North Dakotan Surprises Friends Who
Thought He Had Been Drowned

Special to The Globe
GRAND FORKS, Nd. July ga
few days ago, while Ole Sorenson and
Arne Hermanson were at the Rugby
depot they were hailed by a familiar
voice, and turning around they saw
what appeared to be the form and fea-
lures of Paul Nelson, of Berwick, who
went to Denmark last fall for visit,
and was reported to have been drown
ed while returning this spring. The
astonished residents asked Mr. Nelson
If he was sure he was alive and he
offered to demonstrate it. He had not
heard before that he was supposed to
be dead. How the rumor had orig
mated he did not know

be depended upon to enforce them.
Hence he then considered 1t safe to
omit the proposed plank.
The discussion continued at length
and until Mr.. Hill presented a substi-
tute for the trust plank, (which was
unanimously accepted and with ap-
plause. 1t provided that whenever a
trust or combination effects mo-
snopoly in the production or distribu-
ton of any articles OF trade outside the
state of its origin it may be restricted
by appropriate legislation from contin-
.ling to do business in such states.
Takes Up Finance Again
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, July S.The com
mittee resumed consideration of the
financial question on the basis of the
following plank introduced by Mr.. Car
mack:
THE secretary of the treasury shall
not melt the silver dollars that are now
legal tender and convert them into
subsidiary coin, thus reducing the vol
uIne of currency so fortunately in
creased by the recent remarkable in
crease of the gold production
The sCarmack proposition was voted
down without division and Mr.. Car
mack then offered the following, which
the committee also failed. to accept:
We recognize that the great and un

of gold, amounting in the last few
years to four thousand million dollars
has relieved the stringeneys caused by
the scarcity of metallic money, and
that because of that fact the money
question as it was presented IN the last
two presidential campaigns is not now
acute or pressing for legislative relief;
but it has at the same time vindieated
the demands of the Democratic party
in the past for an increased volume of
metallic money, that demand not being
for silver as silver, or for gold as gold,
but for a sufficient quantity of stand
ard money to maintain the level Of
prices and transact the business of the
country
Speaks of Bad Faith
Mr. Bryan presented suggestion
declaring it to be the sense of the DEM
ocratic party that the volume of chr
rency should not be diminished, but
Mr.. Hill complained that in view of the
action of the committee In voting down
the gold plank, the insertion of the
proposed resolution would be a species
of bad faith. The committee accepted
this view and voted down the resolu-
ton. The platform being considered
complete, was then adopted by a rising
vote and in the midst of general APP
plause.
The members of the general COM
mittee then withdrew from the room
after continuous sitting of sixteen
hours. AS the members emerged from
the chamber they generally expressed
themselves as satisfied with the work
they had accomplished.

CAN'T ENDURE DUMP
Eighth Ward Association viii
Urge Its Adjustment

That the city dump in Minnehaha street,
between Lexington and Victoria avenues,
is nuisance and should be abolished
was decided last night by the Eighth
Ward Improvement association, meeting
at Weiler's hall, Dale street and Uni
versfty avenue.
'.The Eighth ward" protested p. I.
Schultz, should not be made dumping
ground for the Seventh ward. Are our
lives not as valuable as those of the peo-
pie in that ward? Are we not human?'
The necessity of abolishing the dump,
which now reeks with doors from dead
cats and dogs and from the most repul
sive garbage, will be urged upon the
health department by committee con-
sisting of Otto Benz, Mic Gillen and A.
j. Ries. The same committee will pro-
test against the alleged failure of the de-
partment to clean the alleys and back
yards throughout the ward.
F.. l.. McGhee, Thomas Spence and
John F. Fisher were named as a per-
manent committee on schools. They will
endeavor to have arrangements made by
which children in the ward may be sent
to nearby schools, when such schools
exist rather than to schools much farther
away.
Another committee, headed by Mic
WeyIer, was instructed to ask the city
engineer to have placed underground the
electric feed wires that now traverse st.
Adams and other streets. These wires
We're strung to connect with the Dale
street power house of the street railway
company.
A protest, it was voted, would be sent
to the school board against its published
Intention to expend 100000 for new
high school. The board will be asked to
devote two-thirds of the sum named to
the grade schools. -
'tGrade Schools declared Thomas
Spence" are much more necessary to the
common people than are high schools. Not
more than 10 per cent of our school chill
dren ever get inside high school,.
The association will request the char
ter commission "to save $4,000 or $780,
GOO, by combining the city and the gen.
eral elections.

of the executive committee of the asso-
citation in place of the late John Lorenz.

Shortly before o'clock Senator Dan

upon Mr.. Bryan, which soon evoked
cries of Order" from several members.
Senator Daniel, who had called Sena-

ing he questioned the propriety of a
man whom the Democrats had twice
honored with the presidential nominal
ton and under whose leadership the
party had twice been defeated at
tempting to force his leadership upon

stoned, Senator Daniel said, regarding

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Charleston Post (Dem. says:
ION the live issues of the day Mr.. Will
liams' utterances are sound and strong
and he has rough hewn the material
for platform upon which all Demo-
Gratis may stand for the UNFOLDING and
development of the country and with
hope of overthrowing the Republicans
and wrestling the government from the
dangerous Roosevelt"
The Baltimore Sun CDem.) says:
Our Republican friends have placed
a strong ticket in the field and their
party is in good trim-except possibly
In New York and Wisconsin-for an
energetic struggle for the control of
the government. 1t remains to be
seen whether the recognized Democ-
racy, as represented in the ST. Louis
convention, will select a standard-bear-
er who will win popular confidence,
whether il will sound battle-cry
which will presage Democratic victory
next November"
The New York Post Qnd) says: "If
Mr.. Bryan had remained away from
st. Louis. he might have continued to
assert that he was mighty power in
the Democratic party. On the spot, he
fluence that none can be longer in
doubt. 1t is evident that, IL he thought
of boiling, he could not to-day lead out
of the convention even his own Ne
braska delegation. This result. al

the sagacity of those Democrats who
were anxious that Mr.. Bryan be sent
to the convention. Outside. he could

tige. Inside, he is put to the actual
test, and fails ludicrously. His COM
plete snuffing out is, in fact, almost
pitiful, from the personal point of view
of proud man."
The Philadelphia Record (Dem )
says: Southern candidates for the
vice presidency are proposed in st.

that it is more important to secure
doubtful states than TO crafty local
ambitions in safe ones, and if the gift

A BRYAN DEFEAT.

The action of the st. Louis Conven-
tion in sustaining the majority report

terday by an overwhelming majority.
was a distinct defeat for Mr.. Bryan
The most important case that came
before the committee was that of Illi-
nois. II was claimed that the will of
the people as expressed in the prima-
Ses had been overridden.
The National Committee. however,
had decided in favor of the Hopkins
delegates-the delegates that held the
certificates of election from the state
convention.
1t was foregone conclusion that
the Committee on Credentials would
follow the decision of the National
Committee. Neither had time to go
into the merits of the case. 1t would
have taken days to go into details-to
near testimony.
MIR. Bryan seemed to think his in
fuence would be sufficient to get the
contestants seated. He got proxy
from somebody and, in that way got
into the case. His purpose was of
course to make a minority report and,
in that way, get before the convention.
He made his report and his speech, but
his minority report was turned down
so emphatically that he can hardly
doubt now that Judge Parker will be
the nominee for President.

What stupid things are done in the
name of religion! Near Odessa. Rus
STA, is a pretty little seaside resort call
ed Kultchuk. Recently mixed bathing
of the sexes has been introduced there;
that is, the sexes go into the water to-
gother the same as they do in America
and elsewhere. But the practice has
met with the disapproval of the Rus
sian priests, who denounce It as scan
dalous and indecent. One priest, II is
said, solemnly wades into the water
up to his armpits each morning and
again at noon, and in the name of the
church curses the ocean for permitting
the defilement. He has improvised a
liturgy which includes the following:
Arise. We waves, and overwhelm these
unchristian men and women, whose
conduct makes the fishes blush" This
conduct of the priest naturally causes
amusement among those who are not
dominated by superstition; meanwhile
the mixed bathing crowds increase.
