William j. Bryan's speech Of last
night to the members of the Central
Labor Union of Lincoln, in which he

A FriehtfuI Accident.

Charles Sherman King, of Fort
Wayne, Ind, his wife and two daugh-
ters, Carl Timmins, the chauffeur, and
Miss Fayme Bradshaw were killed in
an automobile accident by being struck
Saturday afternoon by a train on the
Pennsylvania railroad west of Colum-
bia City, Ind. The party was in
Mr.. Kings automobile and was go
ing from Fort Wayne to Lake Wa
vase to spend Sunday. Mr.. King was
agent for the Prudential Life Insur-
ance Company and formerly was
member of the Indiana Legislature
from Wabash county.
Every member of the party was
killed instantly; not a one was left
to tell the tale. The automobile
had crowded up behind freight train
at a crossing, not noticing a fast
train coming on another parallel track.
It is said that Mr.. King had given
his chauffeur orders to drive the
big machine at its full limit of
speed.

DR.. Bean Goes to Louisville.

DIR. l.. b. Bean, of Hartford, has
been elected President and Superin-
aendent OF the Holhnger Sanitarium
at Louisville and left yesterday to
assume his duties. Much as he re-
grets to do 1t, he is compelled to
leave Hartford and reside at THE SAM
tarium permanently. The Holhnger
Sanitarium is one of the most noted
places in the country for the treat
mant OF nervous diseases and kindred
ailments, and HIS q wide patronage.
The election of DR.. Bean TO the
Presidency was QUITE compliment to
him, as 1t came unsolicited and in the
way Of a surprise. The board of
stockholders had simply heard of
DR.. Beams proves as a practitioner
and decided to offer him the place.
They insisted upon him staying and
getting right down to business when
he was in the city last week, but
he was compelled to return home and
arrange matters before leaving.
Dr. Bean is one of the best known
physicians in thts section of the
state, an able practitioner and the
Sanitarium folks did well 20 secure
his services as the head of that in

DEPOS|TORS MUST
WAIT A LONG TIME
Before Getting Anything
From Failed Banks.
APPEAL TO COURT OF APPEALS
Will be Taken on Decision of
Judge Birkhead Concern
ingMOrtgage Papers.
The greensboro Messenger says:

The greensboro Messenger says:
There is no probability of an early
distribution to depositors of the as
sets of the Davies County Bank and
Trust Company, assigned, and the
Greensboro Savings Bank and Trust
Company, in the hands of a receiver.
Neither Assignee f.. b. Anderson nor
Receiver Pedley can make dlsTibu-
tion Of any part Of the proceeds until
certain preliminary matters are de-
termined, and this cannot be done
until the October term of the Circuit
Court.
In the case of the Davies County
Bank and Trust Company the princl-
pal obstacle is the question of pref
erencc OF holders of mortage certi-
ficates. Judge Birkhead, Of the Cir
cult Court, has handed down an OPP
inion in the case, holding that mort
gage certificates of deposit are not
entitled to preference, and that all
creditors of the bank must share
alike. There has, however, been no
order to this effect entered, and the
present status of the case does not
admit of an appeal. The order will,
in all probability, be made final at
the October term, and an appeal will
be taken by the holders of mortgage
certificates 20 the Court of Appeals.
Several months, probably, will be re-
qulred for a determination of the
question by the Court of Appeals, and
it is practically certain that the as
signee will not be authorized to be-
gin a distribution of the proceeds
before the early months of 1909.
In the case of the Owensboro Saw
ings Bank and Trust, Company, the
matter causing delay is whether or
not the receiver shall redeem GER
tain notes of the bank rediscounted
with other banks, principally the
Fifth National Bank, of Cincinnati.
This question might possibly be de-
termined at the August term, but
this is a criminal term and it is not
probable that the court will take up
civil matters Of great importance at
that term. When a ruling of the
Circuit Court is finally obtained on
this point 1T is probable that an APP
peal will he taken to the Court of
Appeals or the effort renewed to have
The issue removed in the Federal
Court.
On the whole, there appears little
probability of the depositors of eth
er of the banks receiving anything
under a year from this date.

HARMONY GREAT
IN INDIANA NOW
Among Democratic Hosts
OF That State.
BRYAN AND KERN ARE POPULAR
With All ClaSSeS-Party Fac
tiOnS Healed and United
For the Ticket.

Indianapolis, Ind, July 20.-Never
was there a more popular Democratic
ticket in Indiana than that Of Bryan
and Kern. 1t suits all classes. Profes
sional and business men -have come
to regard Mr.. Bryan as one of the
really big men of the country. They
no longer regard him as dangerous.
Farmers hold him i'm high esteem, and
The laborlng men look to him as to a
savior. The Commoner has long been
popular in Indiana, but he stands high
er to-day than ever before.
The esteem in which Mr. Bryan is
held has been demonstrated since the
nomination of Mr.. Kern, who is the
best-liked Democrat in the State. Gold
Democrats, who held aloof from Bryan
in 1896 and again in 1900, are now
bOasting of the fact That they are
back in he fold. So-called conserva-
tives are now insisting that the Ne
braskan is no more radical than
President Roosevelt. Democrats OF
all shades and of all communities are
making it known that 1.-THE ticket is
all right.
The nomination of Mr.. Kern has
aroused the Democrats of the State
to che highest pitch of enthusiasm. Re
ports from practically every county In
dicatte that parry managers are abso-
lutely confident of success next fall.
The State Committee is almost smoth-
red with messages of joy and hope.
Good feeling is paramount, and de! Oh
over the situation is unconfIned.
Hundreds Of visitors have called a.
the Kern home during the past three
days, and thousands of letters and
kilograms of congratulations have been
received. Mr.. Kern has not sought to
attend to any regular business,buc has
devoted his time to a leisurely peru
sal of these many communications,
Though mis- health is better than in
former years. IL is not robust, and Mr..
Kern realizes that he will have to
conserve his strength for the siren
uous times ahead.
Plans are already being formulated
for the notification of Mr.. Kern, whic
will be made in this city on date
yet to be designated, early in Sep
TENDER. The State Committee will
make this event a noteworthy one.
Mr.. Bryan will be here, and will de-
liver the only speech to be heard by
him this campaign in Indiana.
The pleasure of Mr.. Bryan in having
Mr. Kern with him on the ticket has
endeared the Nebraskan to HOLSTERS.
Even those who were prone TO hold
aloof from the Commoner have found
themselves warming up to him be-
cause Of his friendship for Mr.. Kern,
and his apparent delight that the
Hoosier is to make the race with him.
