Mr.. Bryan was not present, having
left this morning for Columbia, Mo.
to deliver an address.
The introduction of politics into
the proceedings of the congress was
narrowly averted when the report of
the committee on resolutions was sub
mitted for action. John p. Irish,
chairman of the committee, had
scarcely finished reading the report
when L. v. Irvine of st. Louis, vice
president of the congress, made an
impassioned address consuming the
action of the resolutions committee
in emitting from its report the two
resolutions introduced to the congress
by Mr.. Bryan during the speech
last night.
MIR. Irvine then offered the Bryan
resolutions for the consideration OF
the congress.
The chairman suggested that consid'

bear TO the people Of the country and
to Mr.. Hearst's attitude on the qnes-

And out Of this corporation question:
too, Mr.. Bryan has obtained bic po-

foremost power and position. /"

WOMEN BATTLE WITH MILITIA.
Family Holds Dam, Driving Off the
Soldiers.


Ladysmith, Wis, July 27.-James
Hedrington, who cares for the dams
OF the Mississippi River Logging COM
pany, on the Thornapple river. ar
rived here and reports that an en-
counter took place between John F
Dietz and family and a body of six
mllitiamen accompanied by Sheriff
Gyland, of Sawyer county.
One miLtiaman was shot three
times and Clarence Dietz, son of Jno
Dietz, was shot in the head. The re
covery of the militiaman is considered
doubtful.
Hedrington said that the women
of the Dietz household took part in
the defense and he believed that $50
shots were fired. 1t is not known
whether Dietz was served with legal
papers or not.
Dtetz for long time past has held
possession of Thornappel dam, pre-
venting the driving of several million
feet of logs belonging to the Chippe-
wa Lumber and Boom company. The
logs, it is said are rotting, and the
company has for time past been en-
deavOring to have Dietz served with
legal papers compelling him to show
cause why the company should not be
allowed to drive the logs.

BILE Provision Would Be Made for
Dowe on Account of His Services
as Trustee.
Chicago, July 27.-Judge Lands, of
the district court, gave his decision
Friday in the controversy between the
adherents of John Alexander Dowie
and Wilbur Voliva over the property
at Zion City.
The court holds that Zion City
and it's industrials do not belong to
Dowie, that Dowie had no right to
treat the property as his own"
The court refused to appoint Alex
ander Granger receiver for the rea-
son that Granger made a vow recog-
nizing Dowie as "a messenger Of the
covenant, the prophet foretold by
Moses and Elijah the restorer" to
which VOW "all family ties and obli-
cations and all relations to human gov
ernments shall be held subordinate"
The court said he was not obliged to
repose confidence in a man so con-
stituted that, living in this republic
he would serenely vow his readiness
at all times to abandon his family and
betray his country.
The court ordered an election on the
third Tuesday of September of a gen
eraf overseer, all members of the
church residing in Zion City, male
and female, to have one vote. He
announced that suitable provision
would be made for Dowie on account
of his services as trustee.
John G. Hately was appointed re-
ceiV9r at Zion. His bonds were
placed at $25,000 The adjudication
in the bankruptcy proceedings against
Dowie was set aside.

bloodhounds on us and we were trail

piled Lyman, in answer to a que8-
ton, well, look at my arms and my
back. They answer the question" :"

leap for my throat and missed-me
Our second attempt to escape was
more successful, and we came on to

send representative to investigate
conditions and that it retract the re-
ports concerning it.
In reply, the paper wired that the
best manner to conduct an investiga-

company to surrender three of their
employees who it is alleged recently
followed Polander, who had escaped

First Primary for Texas.

Dallas, Tex, July 27.-For the first
time in the history of Texas, a pri-
mary election will be held throughout
the state Saturday. This will be by
the Democratic party, which is re-
quired by the new election law, to so
nominate it's candidates. Because of
the overwhelming majorities of that
party, the result will be conclusive in
the selection of all officers from Unit
ed States senator to constable, and the
general election in November will be
perfunctory. Under the party rule
in this state, the legislature elects
as United States senator whomsoever
a majority of the Democratic voters
may choose. Senator Bailey has no
opponent. All minority parties will
also hold precinct conventions as they
are not regulated by law save as to
the time they shall hold conventions.
