HipuIe Committed suicide.

Philadelphia, Aug. S0.--A mild sen.
sation was created in financial and legal
circles this morning. when it became
known that John @. Bell, District At
torney for Philadelphia, had been
sharply criticised in connection with GER
tain matters pertaining to the prelimi-
nary investigation of the tangled real es-
tate company. Mr.. Bell has been called
in by certain lawyers in an advisory
capacity, and this fact aroused the ire of
young lawyer named F. I. Tobin.
The latter sent the District Attorney a
caustic letter. In il he states that he
believes the failure OF the company was
due to possible criminal neglect on the
part of some person or persons. Inasr
much as these persons might be called
upon to face criminal charges and it
would be Mr.. Bells duty to prosecute
them, the writer states he deems IL his
duty to the public generally to suggest
that Mr.. Bell should not appear as pri-
vate counsel for any one, but confine
himself to his sole duty as prosecutor.
Mr.. Bell refused to make any comment
on the young lawyers suggestion.
Coroner Wing, who beld the inquest
on Nipples body, made the announce
mept this morning that Nipple COM
mitted suicide, 1t was afterwards learn
ed that Nipple blew out his brains.
This explains why his closest friends
were not permitted to review the re-
mains. 1t is sossible that The body will
be disinterred and verdict rendered in
accordance with the facts. The coroner
withheld the information fearing that
Mr.. Nipples death would cause run
on the bank but such action was not done
by any one connected with the company
but of his own free will.
The pertinent question most persistent
ly asked BY hepublic is, Chow was Mr.
Nipple enabled to loan s., 600, 900, as is
stated by John H. Converse, without the
knowledge Of the directors; and further
more, how do the directors explain the
lack OF knowledge of affairs that their
positions required them to he familiar

preparation for some time.


Four THOUSAND people yesterday
gathered around 8 monument TO John
Brown ct Ossawattomie, Kansas, and sang
"The Star-Spangled Banner" after which
the United States flag was unfurled from
an eighty-foot flag pole. The chapter in
the history of this country WHICH relates
to John Brown could be told in a few
words. In early life he adopted two
means of obtaining cheap Dotorieiy-re-
ligion and the slavery question. Like
many Others not born With the proper
check wheels of life, or whose heads
soon become turned from the fact that
they we're never screwed on properly at
first, he imagined he saw in the Bible
confirmation Of the many chimeras which
danced in his brain, and fiaally appeared
in Virginia as a red-handed murderer.
He and his corporaPs guard of deluded
followers were Immediately overpowered
and executed, while bells were tolled in
northern cities and Indignation meetings
were being held on Boston Common.
There seems to be some who still desire
TO keep the ugly Incident of his brief
and unenviabls career before the world,
but his memory has long ago become oh
scured by more important events which
have occurred since he met felOn's death.
Some persons in the United States have
never become weaned from the old
fanatic. The New York Tribune, edited
by the late Horace Greeley at the time
Brown Aourished was instrumental in
inspiring the fanatic to come TO Vir-
sinia on his crazy mission, and today
that paper has the following among
other things to say concerning him;

THURSDAY EVENING. AUG. 80, 1906.

THE INTEREST manifested throughout
Inc entire country in Mr.. William j.
Bryan during the past few months is sig
nifcaut. and shows that he has in no way
lost his influence with the American
people. In fact, the elaborate prepare
lions for his reception in New York alter
his trip around the world shows plainly
that he is maintaining his position on
the crest of the same wave which has
kept him prominently before the Amer
lean people and the world for the past
decade. The courteous, manner in which
he has been received and entertained 10
the old world shows that his reputation
is by no means confined to his own
country. From present indications ne
is the most prominent candidate before
the democratic party for president OF the
United States. Previous to his entry
into the presidential race Mr. Bryan
had begun to attract attention. An
earnest advocate of the free silver theory,
AZ were also a number of prominent re-
publican Senators and Members OF the
House Of Representatives at the time, he
exploited that scheme until 1t Yves event
ualIy made the most prominent plank
in the democratic platform with Mr..
BRYAN as the standard-bearer. The re-
publicans, who bad virtually begolten
free silver, repudiated their own OIL
spring, and by the use of literally bar
rels of money, furnished by trusts, nur-
tured and fattened by the tariff, railroads
and insurance companies, succeeded In
temporarily diverting The tidal wave
which was rolling over the country.
Free silver is, however, no longer an is
sue in the United States, but the present
Tariff laws, the arbitrary acts of the pres
ent executive and many other objection
able features of the republican admins
tration furnish any number of planks for
a sensible and logical democratic plat
form which will appeal to the conservs'
tive members of the party as we'll as to
many in the ranks of the republican or
ganization. The reception to Mr. Bryan
in New York is the result! OF no spas
modic movement, but il had been in
preparation for some time.

DEMOCRATS MEET.

The democratic count central
committee met here last Saturday
and arranged the preliminaries fer
the coming county and state CAM
paign. There was good attend
ance from the prairie precincts,
and the general expression was
that Idaho county is as safely q
democratic county as ever, and
that with a good ticket the party
will win out by the customary
majorities in the county election.
At the last presidential election
the fact that Roosevelt was a can
didate for president on the republic
can ticket, and the further fact
that there was general democratic
dissatisfaction with Judge Parker,
the democratic nominee, alienated
several thousand voters from the
dAmOcrAtlc ticket In this county
and elsewhere. There being no
presidential issue involved this
year, and Roosevelt having proved
q very great disappointment to
the American people, puts the
democratic dissenters back in their
old organization, more than ever
satisfied that their hope for relief
from existing political evils will be
found in the application Of demo-
cratic principles to governmental
affairs.
Elsewhere will be found the off,
cial notice Of the date of the pri-
mary elections, and also for the
dates and places for holding the
two county conventions.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

O0aIn0SS cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition
OF the mucous lining of the Eusta-
rian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur

THE SMOOT CASE.

The report Of the majority Of the
senate committee on the Reed
Smoot case confirms every allega-
ton made against the Mormon
church, and the report should un-
doubtedly have great weight in
sustaining the contentious made
by the democratic party of this
state in the last campaign. The
majority OF the committee finds
that the Mormon church has en-
couraged polygamy and polygamous
cohabitation; that the head ofici-
ais Of the Mormon church are still
living in polygamy in defiance of
their own manifesto and the laws
OF the United States; that the mani
festo itself was gross deception;
that Senator Smoot has himself en-
couraged and countenanced poly
gamy; that the political domination
OF the Mormon church is pronounce
ed and injurious to the interests of
the state Of Utah and adjoining
states; and that the Mormon church
is nothing more or less than a
commercial organization organized
for money making. purposes. The
majority of the committee further
reports that Mr.. Smoot is not en-
titled to a seat in the senate OF the
United States.
With this report as a basis for
action there should be no further
occasion for the Jack Mormon
democrats of Idaho to oppose poll
teal action by the democratic party
of Idaho in its campaign for the
purity Of the American home in
Idaho. Senator Dubois has been
amply sustained. The Mormon
church is a distinctly un-Ameri-
can organization, and the fight
against it must proceed until it's
members conform to existing laws.
