HIMSELF A REPUBLICAN
Claims the Reforms Advocated by
Bryan are Those Started Years Ago
Tells Nebraska People Something
About Their Own Senators.

Lincoln, Neb.. Aug. 13.-Before an
audience of six thousand at the Ep-
worth assembly last night Senator
Robert M. LaFollette expressed great
admiration and friendship for VIM.
]. Bryan, but insisted that he himself
was a Republican. The fight against
railroads to secure lower rates and
no discrimination, he said, had been
started in the seventies by Wiscon-
sin, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota. He
said these policies were not the pro
ducts Of the minds of either Bryan
Or Roosevelt. A man in the audience
accused LaFollette of being a Demo
crat, but he denied it. He spoke for
some time Of the Aldrich-Vreelald
bill, which he denounced viciously
After he had read the roll call on
this measure, showing that Senator
Burkett of Nebraska voted for it and
Senator Brown (Neb) against it,
some one in the audience asked,
What is the matter with Burkett?"
You will have to decide that for
yourself, my friend,' was the reply.

have to draw your own conclusions"

seLAck HAND" VICTIM
GOES TO HIS DEATH.

New York, Aug. 13.-Ambushed in
lonely spot known as "murderers
field" on the LINCOLN road in the
Flatbust section of Brooklyn, late
last night. Pietro Barillo, a well
known hotel-keeper of Woodhaven,
was attacked and killed by a number
of men. Barilla is thought to have
gone to the place to keep an appoint
ment, as a letter was found on his
person seemingly written in blood.
He rode to the scene on a bicycle and
carried a magazine revolver. which
he nearly emptied il his desperate
defense. Persons nearby heard the
shots and rushing to the place saw
the men fleeing. The slayers evident
" were frightened away before robb-
ing their victim, If that was their in
tention, as a large roll of bills and
gold were left. From letters in the
victims pockets it is certain Barilla
was the victim of a BLACK Hand
plot Antony Delmarto, a cousin OF
Barilla is held for investigation.

nobly to the call of Secretary Ora

funds raised to cover the expense of
getting up the exhibit are not quite
as large as they should be, and some
Of the farmers are literally donating
their part of the show products. Some
are not able to give them, and these
the club secretary Is glad to pay for
what they bring. The main point is
that the stuff is coming in, and it is
fine. It is said that as a whole, the
products of the farms and orchards
of the Pecos Valley are of better
quality and larger variety this year
than ever before.

FIGHT COMPROMISED.

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 13.-Satis-

in the adoption OF the plank in the
Texas Democratic platform providing
for the submission to the people OF
the prohibition question, the prohibi-

of the work of the convention is
merely perfunctory.
