New York, Aug. 31.-Following the
notable reception and address at Mad
ison Square Garden last night, WIN.

hotel, in physical preparation for his
trip into Connecticut today.

heat of the campaign in 1898 he was
frequently interrupted by the youthful
element among his auditors.
When Mr.. Bryan left Madison
Square Garden last night he was too
weary to address the outside crowd
said in part:
S?eech on the Outside.
Il have found that the human heart
is sound everywhere. | have found
too that the human sense of Justice
is sound everywhere. 1t is slrong in
this country of ours. Upon this strong
sense of justice We must build our
trust. We must appeal to this sense
of justice and say that among men
in our business world there must be
no giants. We must say that no man
that God has made should be forced
TO take inferior position to the cor
porate man made by the trusts. We
must have government of monopolies
if monoplies are a necessity, or where
they are necessary
Mr.. and Mrs. Hearst Call.
When Mr.. Bryan reached the hotel
Mr.. and Mrs. Hearst were waiting in
The lobby. How do you do Mr.
Hearst" said the Nebraskan, won't
you come up starts and meet Mrs

which characterize British rule in the

LAWYER AND DOCTOR IN TROUBLE
Arrested for Conspiracy In Connection
with suit on Note.


FALLS CITY, Neb.. Feb. 1.-tSpecial)-
conspiracy to obstruct justice was un-
earthed al Auburn this week which re
suited in the arrest Of DR.. ]. l. Candy OF
Humboldt and his removal to Auburn on
Thursday to answer the charge fled against
him. At the same time Of his arrest Fred
c. Hawxby, a young lawyer of Auburn,
formerly Of Humboldt was arrested at
Auburn, together with Orvey Reed and
his brother, on the same charge.
The case which this charge grows out
OF Is what is known as the Candy Bissell
case in this county, which has been in
the courts for about seven years. w. c.
Bissel OF Humboldt died in 1891 leaving a
half section Of land near that place which
he had decided to an association of Chi
cago. After the death of Bissell, DR.. Candy
came forward as the agent of his wife,
NJ f. Candy, and filed a note against
Bissell's estate for s., 500. which had been
running for over six years then and nothing
paid on it The administrator of the Bis
sell estate contested the note on the ground
that it was fraudulent and Bissel never
owed it. The principal witness for the
Bissell estate is G. w. Hawley, min
lister, residing at Auburn who had settle
ment with Candy of all of Bissells affairs
| The case has been tried once in the county
court, twice in the district court and twice
in the supreme court. and is now on the
docket of the present term for trial.
The facts as they developed in Auburn
! this week, it is alleged. show that the
! two Reeds at the instance Of DIR. Candy
got in communication with man by the
name of Frank Fisher, who was travelling
/ through the country pretending to be q
| preacher, and instructed him to go &c
Auburn and get acquainted with Rev. Haw'
| ley and If possible get on good terms with
| him and visit him at his home, so that ne
! could not deny the fact that Fisher hac
| an opportunity TO hear the conversation
which Candy was to instruct Fisher &c
| swear to. In pursuance with that arrange
/ ment Fisher came to Auburn and stale
/ around there several days until his nerve
failed him and he went to lawyers once
and detailed the whole case to him anc
asked for advice.
! Fred Hawxby is one of Gandy's attorneys
! and according to the story of the Reeds
and Fisher they went up to his office anc
told him what they were trying to do anC
he advised them how to proceed in order
| to accomplish the result Candy wished anC
at different times Hawxby paid Fisher
money for Candy to keep him in line.
Messrs. Hawxby, Candy and Reed will
| be vigorously prosecuted at Auburn this
| week and there is strong talk OF disbar
ment proceedings being brought agains
| Hawxby for his actions in the matter. Mr.
! Hawxby is quite well known in this county
| having been the democratic nominee iol
! county Judge two years ago.

bonds or a suit at law to determine the
validity Of the bonds is probable as the
result of the action of the successful bid
