NOMINATION
EIGHTH BALLOT
BRYAN'S WELFARE
OF FIRST THOUGHT
In Minds of the Nebraska Demo-
Gratis in State Conven-
ton.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 15.-When the
democrats of Nebraska met here today
for a state nomination convention, the
purpose of which seemed to be upper
most in she minds of the delegates was
to do nothing which might displease
William ]. Bryan, in behalf of whose
proposed presidential candidacy the
Nebraska democrats desire to insure
the greatest possible degree of har-
nony.
The gubernatorial candidate who
showed the most strength at the open
ing of the convention was Gerge w.
Berge, of Lincoln, who was the NOM
inee of the democrats and populists
against Mickey two years ago.
The populists also held a convention
here today meeting in another hall,
George w. Berge is also a favorite with
the populists for governor.

ROOT MAKES TALK
Secretary of State Guest at Gov
eminent House at Buenos
Ayres.
THIS C0UNTRY'S ATTITUDE
While Avoiding Sealed Alliances is
Bound by Sentiment and UnWrit-
ten Law.

BuenoS AyTes, Aug. 15.-At the Off
scial banquet given at the government
house last evening by President Alcor-
Ia in honor of Secretary Root TO which
the diplomatic corps and high officers
of state only were invited. Root. in re-
playing TO the presidents welcoming
address, said he had come to South
America with no other specific object
but to express the friendly sympathetic
feeling entertained by the people of the
United States fOB South American re-
pubics.
Our traditional policy in the United
States" he said, lis to make no alli-
anees. 1t. was inculcated by Washing
ton. II has been adhered to by his sue
cessors ever since. But the alliance
that comes from the unwritten, unseal-
ed instruments. as that from the con-
vention, signed and ratified with all
formalities, is of vital consequence.
I'VE make no alliances, but we make
alliance with all our sisters in senti-
ment and feeling in pursuit of liberty
and justice, in mutual helpfulness and
in that spirit | beg TO return to you, sir,
and your government and your people
of this splendid and wonderful country
my sincere thanks for the welcome you
have given me. my country, in my per
SON.
Roots speech was received with vO-
ciferous applause and the greatest pos
sible satisfaction.

San Francisco, Aug. 15.-Eighteen
passengers on the stage from Harbin
Springs to Salistoga were given a bad
fright when the stage was held up by
a masked highwayman, who command
ed them to dismOunt and line up on
the side of the road. One of the pass
engers named Silverstein was forced
to search the victims After all the
money had been secured Silverstein
was ordered to return the plunder and
saw the robber disappear in the under
growth. A moment later Miss Hayes,
daughter of the proprietor of Harbin
Springs, appeared with a camera and
explained that the holdup had been a
joke. The passengers were little in
clined to regard it as such. Especially
angry was Silverstein.

Rock Island county veterans officiated
today as the escort of Commander L.
H. Buck of the Illinois department in
the grand review of the Minneapolis
encampment-the first time in 40 years
that posts outside of the city of Chica-
go have acted in this capacity at ma
tional encampment. The fact that Min
neapolis was in close proximity to llli-
nois made it possible for veterans gen.
orally through this state TO attend the
national encampment in larger num-
bers than usual, and as Rock Island
county is the home of Commander
Buck, the honor of escort was given to
the veterans there
The Illinois escort presented an in
spring appearance with some 200 men
in line, chiefly from r. II. Graham post,
No. 3I2. of Moline. and John Buford
post No. 243. of Rock Island, with a
of old soldiers from other
posts. They were arrayed in blue uni
forms which were set off with white
cans. oyergaiters and gloves, and they
carried canes decked with flags which
were the gift of c. H. Deere and F. G..
Allen of Moline. They were proud and
sprightly in their regalia, their step
was elastic, and the two score years
which have elapsed since they were in
wars stern conquest sat lightly on
their shoulders. They were roundly
applauded along the line of march.
Inspiring Music of Martial Band.
There was something particularly
cheering about the martial band
which set the step for the Rock Island
county veterans. Among the IL fifers
and drummers were two who repre-
sented extremes of enlistment when
the call to arms was issued in 1S61-65.

ROCK ISLAND COUNTY VETERANS PROUD POSITION
IN GRAND PARADE AT MINNEAPOLIS ENCAMPMENT

years ago in the first regiment that
was sent south to put down the rebel
lion was a company of Rock Island
county soldiers During the four years
of struggle the county sent 2.603 men
-one-tenth of the population then-to
the front. In the two great movements
that severed the southern states and
terminated the war Illinois was more
largely represented than any other
state. Illinois sent out 1876 regiments
of infantry, II of cavalry, and 80 batter
les, numbering in all 259, ,092 men, Of
these 5,SSS were killed in battle, 3,022
died of their wounds, 10 $50 died of dis
ease, and 967 died in southern prisons.
Looking back today from the remnant
of that grand army of heroes, we are
led to believe that the old soldier is
answering the last roll call faster than
the weaver's shuttle"
May Reduce Number of Posts.
There was at one time nine posts OF
the G. A. r. in Rock Island county.
Now there are but six, and four of
these may be merged with John Bu-
ford and r. H. Graham posts. John
Buford post of Rock Island was organ
lied June 6. 1866, and it's total enroll
ment since that year has been $50. It's
present enrolment is 103. r. H. Gra-
ham post of Moline was chartered Aug.
"a, 1888, and it's membership has foot
ed 262. Today the enrolment is but
115.
Two Minneapolis men. former Rock
Island county boys-C. c. Webber and
C. d. Velie-rendered generous assist
ance in the arrangements for this trip
of the veterans. Messrs. Webber and
Velie secured admirable headquarters,
block from the national headquaT-
ters, and here ''the boys are keeping
open house for all their county friends
and their comrades in the service.

peror assisted the king in alighting,
then they kissed each other on both
cheeks. The meeting was very cordial.
The royal party and their following
proceeded TO Freidrichshoff in automo-
biles and were heartily cheered by the
crowds which lined the route.
Regard Visit as Good Sign.
Berlin. Aug. 15.-The press of all
sections treats King Edwards visit to
Emperor William from the standpoint
of being a sign of improved relations
between him and the emperor and the
belief and hope are generally express
ed that the visit will have a beneficial
effect on the peoples of both countries,
besides putting their political relations
on a better footing.
The papers, however, avoid all ex-
travagant hopes in this direction, evi-
IDENTIFY trying to keep within a safe
minimum of practical results, while
positive political arrangements are ex-
pected. The Cologne Gazette. which
usually reflects the views OF the for
eign Office. expects the rulers to fully
discuss all politicaa questions concern
ing Germany and Great Britain, besides
the general position of European poll
tics.
A tone of sincere edmiration for the
king pervades all the leading articles.
All Swing Round.
Copenhagen, Aug. 15.-It is reported
King Frederick will visit Emperor Will
liam in October and subsequently go
