Lincoln, Neb., Aug. l2.-'I have the
honor of notifying you of your nomi
nation for president quoth Congress.
man Henry ID. Clayton, permanent
chairman of the Denver convention, in
a few well chosen words. 81 have been
expecting it." responded William Jen-
nings Bryan, and launched forth in an
address in which he outlined the demo
cratic policies in the present campaign
elaborated the platform declarations
and denounced the republican policies
past, present and prospective.
Large Crowd There.
One of the largest crowds ever gath
cred in Lincoln heard the address of
the famous commoner, and took part
in the demonstrations of Joy and APP
proval which marked every important
incident of the days program.
The day was ushered in at the sun
rise with the firing of salute of
forty-six guns, one for every state in
the Union. BY ten o'clock, when the
formal program was commenced with
a band concert, the streets were crowd
ed with people. Political leaders from
all over the country and crowds of
we'll dressed city folk from Omaha, st.
Joe and other towns, rubbed shout
ders with husky Nebraska farmers, who
drove into town with farm wagons
filed to overlooking with the women
folks and the youngsters.
Had Big Lunch.
Following the luncheon, the members
of the. notification committee. accom-
panied by Bryan and Kern, paraded
in carriages to the capitol grounds.
The candidates for the presiderieyl and
vice presidency were given an ovation
all along the line. Mr.. Bryan, wearing
his usual smile, responded blithelg to
the cheers of the multitudes, and eX-
pressed. the hope that those who hailed
him as 'the next president" were true
prophets.
Following the conclusion of the for
NAL ceremonies of the afternoon, Mr..
Bryan, Mr.. Kern and the members of
the committee will hold AN informal
reception to the visitors in the capt.
tol, when the admirers of the can
didates will be given a more personal
greeting.
The days program will come to a
close this evening with dinner to
the committee on the lawn at Fair
view, Mr.. Bryan's suburban home.

INJURY TO MR.kARMANY
ELDERLY MAN GOT OFF CAR BE-
FORE 1T STOPPED.
10 Eighty. One Years o. Age and Fall
Gave Him q Shock; He VIII
Recover.

U. S. Karmany met with painful
accident on South Front street at
about five o'clock yesterday afternoon.
He was riding home OF a street car,
and did not signal the conductor to
stop until he was nearly at the cross
ing. 1t was impossible to stop just
at the crossing. and he feared that
the car was not going to stop, and
hurried out to the step. The car was
slowing down, and would have come to
stop in few seconds, but Mr.. Kar-
many stepped off while it was going,
and was thrown to the ground and his
shoulder was dislocated and his face
bruised. He was picked up and taken
home, and was out of his head for
some time. He is eighty-one years old,
but it is thought that his injuries are
not of a serious nature, and that ne
will soon recover.
While the accident was very unfor-
tunate, it illustrates again the folly
of trying to get off Of moving cars.
Ladies and old people especially should
be careful. The car is always brought
to a stop, and the motormaf does not
start again until signalled by the
conductor to do so. This car was No.
IL and in charge of Conductor Miller,
who says that the ear would SOON
have been, at complete stop had Mr..
Karmany waited, and the latter would
have been carried but a short distance
beyond the crossing.

great change IN the opinion OF the
citizens. The public welfare would not
be harmed by waiting short time UNI
til the report was presented. 1t might
be that the facts and conditions shown
would put an altogether different light
on the officials and the administration
The minds of the aldermen might be
in different condition. If there was
no injury done, it was no more than
fair to the accused for the council to
defer the matter at least for a rea
sonable time.
Mr. Haynes said that he wanted to
endorse what Judge Porter had said.
This had been his opinion all the time.
Charges to Be Made
Mayor Andrews asked the council
what it would do.
AID Atchison: 81 take it from what
Mr.. Currier says that the report will
have very little bearing on the Off
Gals"
Mr.. Currier: Il cannot, Of course,
say what our investigation will show.
That will develop. The object of the
committee was not to investigate the
officials, but to learn how to get pure
water and a sufficient sewer system.
We will state the conditions of affairs
in our report, and the public can draw
its own conclusions"
Aid. Gary: 'It is the duty of these
men to resign or to refuse to do so,
so that we can take action
President Porter: 'There may be
Developments from the conditions shown
by the report. While it will not say
anything in relation to the officials, it
may be that facts brought out will
point so strongly as to lead directly
to certain conclusions. 1t would be
fair to the citizens of Mankato, also,
and no harm could be done by waiting
a reasonable time for the report, so
you can form an honest opinion. Now
nobody knows anything but what is
street talk. Let MS lock at the matter
on both suppositions. j, If we were to
resign and the report was to show that
there We're no grounds for the resigna-

for we would be out. If you Were

came in and pointed the other way
the officials would be out and would
have no redress"
Aid. AtchisOn: "The aldermen will

attorney. The people don't want

the responsibility of acting, even if
it be in an unpleasant way"

VALUES IN The COUNTY
REAL ESTATE Sic, os1, 1852; PER-
SONAL, So, oe1,477.
Former Shows an Increase Of S249,-
531 and the Latter Reduction
Of So, 613.

As eqaalized by the county board,
the real! estate assessment of Blue
Earth county is $l0,O9l 1852, an increase
of $249,53l over two years ago when
the state afterwards put on ten
cent raise. The personal property val
uation Is $2,36l,477, or $52,6l3 less
than last. year. This decrease is ac-
counted for by the fact that this year
the amount of mortgages and land
contracts assessed is $90,SS6 less than
last year, If it was not for the
mortgage registry tax law, which places
a definite tax on these instruments, the
personal property valuation would have
been 10000 more than last year.
The total assessed valuation of the
county, both real and personal as
equalized by the county board, is
$I2.453,439, or $96,9lS more than last
year.

L0uisA.Gourdain Wants to Place
Queen on Throne; His
Scheme.
Tells London Newspapers He's
Going to Make Blow For
Freedom.
Especial to The Free Press.]


London, Aug. IA conspiracy which
has for its object the overthrow of
republican form of government in
America and the establishment of a
monarchy has been established in Lon.
don, with ramifcations in Berlin, Mad
rid, Paris and ST. Petersburg. The con-
spirators make no secret of their plans,
and have accorded many interviews
to the London press, in which they
have announced full details of the
heinous plot.
Conspirator-in-Ch Chief.
York as his home, is apparently the
conspirator in-chief. For some time he
has been stopping at a leading London
hotel, where he has received the jour-
nalists and told them of his plans.
Mr.. Gourdain admits that the revo.
luton he is seeking to ferment can
not be accomplished without war and
bloodshed, but he believes that the
end to be accomplished is worth the
cost.
At present the conspirators are oc-
cupied with seeking to gain the back
ing of foreign powers. The Southern
Confederacy failed, according to Mr..
Gourdain, because it lacked the recog-
milton of the nations of Europe. The
plotters do not intend to make this
mistake, so they have come to Europe
to enlist King Edward, Emperor
William, King Alfonso and Car Nicho-
las in their scheme. So far as known,
those monarchs have not yet held any
secret sessions with the American mon
archists. -
.aa Branches in Every State. Il, 81
Mr.. Gourdain solemnly declares that
the American .royalist party has
branches in every state in the Union,
and that all is in readiness to strike
the blow for the queen-God bless her
the European monarchs have
given their consent and promised their
influence.
Mr.. Gourdain refuses to tell who is
to be the first royal ruler of America,
but he admits that that parsonage will
be a queen rather than king
The arch-conspirator asserts that his
plan to overthrow the republic is
really to be blow for freedom de-
claring that there is less real liberty
in the United States than in England,
Germany, Russia or Italy. .g.
A meeting of the royalists is to be
held in st Petersburg in few days,
when the various agents now gun.
shoeing about the capitals of Europe
will report to their chief.

MAY, GIRL OF MYSTERY
SHE IS NOW DETAINED IN ST.
PETER.
First Appeared in the jail There and
Exhorted the Prisoners to Lead
Better Lives.

st. Peter, Aug. l2.-Six weeks ago
a mysterious young woman visited the
Nicollet county Jail on an evangelical
mission, eXhorting the prisoners to
give up their lives of crime and plead
ing with them to adopt Christianity.
Yesterday she was placed in cell
in the same jail to await examination
as to her sanity.
Shortly before midnight Sunday a
Waterman at the state hospital for
the insane found her sitting on the
steps of the south detached ward, and
for the remainder of the night she
was sheltered at the institution. All
efforts to establish the identity of
the strange young woman have prov
ed futile. When questioned as to
her evangelical work she talks readi-
ly and fuently, but the moment the
probe is directed toward herself she
becomes mute and refuses to return
replies. Beyond admitting that her
name is May and that she was born
in Minnesota, she will give mo infor-
nation concerning herself, but her
statements would Indicate that her
home is in Minneapolis.
May is a slender girl, apparently
some twentythree years of age. She
has light hair and blue eyes, is of
medium height, and has a mole, large
and noticeable, on her left cheek. Her
case is one of the most puzzling
that has ever confronted the local
authorities, but they have deter
mined to learn her name and some
thing of her antecedents

Husband Suspected Of Trying to
Make Away With Wife in
This Manner.
He Is Under Arrest and She in
Hospital Suffering With
Bad Injuries.

Rochester, Aug. l2.-Early this morn
ing when Mrs. August Maier, a resi-
dent of this place, entered the kitch-
en- of her home to kindle the morn
ing fire in the coOkstOve, she noticed
fuse dangling from the gate Brush
ing it aside and thinking no more of
the incident, she applied the match to
the prepared shavings. A terrific
explosion followed almost instantly per-
haps fatally iniur.ng the woman and

the dwelling. Mrs. Maier was hur-
ried to the hospital where it was
stated her condition was criti-
cal but hopes are entertained for
her recovery. 1t develops a stick of
dynamite had been placed i'm the stove.
The woman thinks her husband placed
the explosive there, hoping in this
horrible manner to end her earthly
existence.
Woman Horribly Mangled.
The victim was horribly mangled.
Her right hand was torn off at the
wrist, as though amputated with a
surgical instrument She was almost
completely disrobed and her abdo-
men crushed and bruised by the awful
concussion. The kitchen presented a
frightful appearance. The windows of
the room were broken and the walls
and eealing despatched with blood
and torn flesh of the victim. The
stove and other articles in the home
were literally strewn all about the
premises. The interior of the house
looked az, though. it had been struck

The husband of; Is the woman has
been ARRESTED and will be held on
some epretext,;, until the, result of the
woman's injuries become known. Maier
IS employed in a quarry and offers
that as an excuse for having in
his possession when arrested a por-
tion of stick of dynamite, coil of
fuse box of dynamite caps and two
partly drained bottles of whisky. He
said he knew nothing of the dyna-
mite in the stove.
The man does not enjoy a good
reputation in Rochester and is known
to have quarreled with his wife and
on several occasions the police have
been called in to quell the disturb

blow up those with whom he quar-
relied. He was drinking man. g
The woman in the hospital stated

DROWNING AT HENDERSON
Henry Boehm, Fourteen Years Old,
Sinks While in Bathing.

Henderson, Aug. l2.-.Henry Boehm,
the fourteen-year- son of Franz
Boehm, of this town, was drowned
while bathing in the Minnesota river
yesterday afternoon near the mouth of
Mill creek. Other boys who were in the
water with him made several attempts
to rescue him, but failed on account
of the depth of the hole he had got
into. The body was recovered about
one hour after the drowning. This is
the second accidental death in the
Boehm family in very short time,
another boy having been killed in a
railroad wreck in Wisconsin.

Almost invariably the stout woman will
find that the vertical tucks or those which
meet in a point in the front are more
becoming than those which go across. As
the sleeves are to be made of the tucked
material also, the effect Of the style of
tucks selected upon the arms must also
be considered. For a plump arm the
horizontal tucks are quite impossible, for
when very thin white material is used in
this fashion the effect is to increase the
size of the arms until they are positively
clumsy. The vertical tucks, on the con-
trary, especially if they are carefully
shaped in on the lower arm, make the
arm look more slender and do more than

which they do not appear. Gold ribbon
rather soft in quality, so that it may be
doubled, is finished with gold balls OF
tassels. Figured gold ribbons are alsc
used for this purpose under some condi,
tons, but the most popular material oil
which to make the lacings is soft satin
of the same shade as the gown.
1t is not alone on the bodice that this
lacing figures. 1t is also used upon the
skirt to bring panels together or tor
similar purposes. Sometimes the lacine
is almost as wide as sash, being crushed
together and threaded through big eyelets
set at wide distances apart on the skirt
The lacing is then finished either with
large rosette or with a knot and hanging
ends. often finished with fringe.

carefully select the style of guimpe which
best displays the attractive points of her
throat and conceals its defects. The mere
matter of using vertical, diagonal, cross

worthy of consideration to the novice, but
the woman who is an expert in dress
knows that there is nothing which more
entirely mars an attractive and becoming

an entire cloth waist.
There are many new designs in braid
ing and embroidery The closely braided
soutache is best in the lighter materials;
a combination of braid and buttons on
cloth is even newer; braiding on the
sleeves is rather smart, and the long lines
help TO accentuate the desired slender
ness, for slenderness is still desired by
all. There are a few colored braids, but
