ed at Sioux City Last Night and tho
Candidate Expressed Himself as
Thoroughly Satisfied With Trip

Wayne, Neb, Sept 30.-William II.
Taft today began the second week Of
his campaign through the north aud
west t.s an advent in the home state
of his chief opponent. William ].
Bryan. This afternoon and evening
will be devoted by the Ohioan to the
Nebraskan's home town, Lincoln.
where Taft will make five speeches.
Arriving at o'clock Taft's time will
be completely occupied until bed time
and no arrangements have been made
for any exchange of calls between the
two candidates.
The Ohioan's campaign through
South Dakota terminated here last
night, where he addressed tremend-
GUS audience from the four states of
Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and
Minnesota. The meeting was held In
the immense train shed Of the union
passenger depot and was rivalled only
in the days trip from Aberdeen by the
two meetings held at Mitchell.
OF the day Mr.. Taft said last night:
II have enjoyed every minute of 1t.
Despite the tax on my voice, the
speaking has been easy because I
have felt sympathetic inspiration
from every audience"
Senator Kittredge met the Taft
train at Mitchell and made public as
surances of his continued support of
the ticket. Senator Gamble, his fac
tional opponent, and Congressman
Burke and Martin joined the train at
Aberdeen. as did other state politi-
clans. leaving no Republican faction
in South Dakota unrepresented in the
demonstration of approval of the ma
tional ticket. These incidents, and the
assurances to the candidate from
those in touch with the South Dakota
situation, Mr.. Taft said today, were
most satisfactory evidences of the
value of his trip.
Besides Mitchell and Sioux City, the
largest crowds of the day we're at
Aberdeen and Yankton, the latter the
home of Senator Gamble. Other stops
of the special where cheering audi
ences were waiting wers at Mellette.
Redfield, Wolsey, Trip. Parkston.
Lesterville, Scotland and Vermillion.
Judge Taft's voice permitted him to
be heard fairly we'll. His speaking
assistant during the day was Repre-
sentative j. Adam Bede of Minnesota,
who jokingly referred to the candidate
as the upholstered statesman" He
said the great distinction between
Taft and Bryan was that you could
see Taft much farther than you could
hear him, and you could hear Bryan
farther than you could see him. or
ought to follow him.

RIDDER's POSITION
Has Been Bitter Opponent Of Bryan
in the Past

III Tic IdSt
New York, Sept 30.-The selection
of Herman Ridder as treasurer of the
Democratic campaign committee to
succeed Governor Haskell again
brings to recognition the lately ac-
quired conciliatory side of Mr.. Bryan.
Herman Ridder, editor of the New
York Staats-Zeitung, has never before
been either an admirer or a follower
OF the interesting Nebraskan. To the
contrary, his paper, though Demo-
cratic for more than half century
without interruption, bolted the Bryan
ticket in 1896, and, more than, that,
most bitterly assailed the Nebraska
candidate with vigor not exceeded by
the most confirmed Republican organs.
In 1900 this condition of affairs had
been in no measure ameliorated, but
the Ridder paper came promptly to
the support of Alton B. Parker in
1904. The chief grounds for the un-
friendliness of the Staats-Zeitung for
Bryan in the old days was the free
silver issue, or so 1t was believed.
But to say that this was the sole
difference between Ridder and Bryan
is wide of truth. This was attested
less than three months ago when Mr..
Ridder. on his way to the Denver con-
vention, stopped at the Bryan home in
Fairview, Neb., and urged the Ne
braskan to quit the race for the good
OF his party After the interview Mr..
Ridder publicly declared that he had
informed Mr.. Bryan that in his opin-
ion the Nebraska's nomination would
be tantamount of defeat and that there
was no latent possibility of success
with the one time free silver advocate
as standard bearer.
Ridder had been active against the
recurrence OF Bryan for months. He
had gone into the south and made the
strongest kind OF talks against the
third candidacy OF the man from Lin
coin. One Of these addresses by Rid

and comfort you, mamma, and that Is
the reason I came back. But must

heaven: all happiness and no pair"
Repeats Story to Pastor.
DR.. Clark was notified that Ethel
had awakened from her trance and
going to her bedside heard her tell
what she had seen in heaven. The
minister was amazed, but Ethel told
her story so convincingly that he de-
clared last night there was no reason
to doubt 1t.
The Rev. Robert McElroy, pastor
of the linden Street Presbyterian
church, friend of the Powell family,
was summoned and he also heard the
tale from Ethel's lips. Since Tuesday
she has been conscious and repeated
over and over again the story Of her
visit to heaven.
The physicians do not hold out
much hope for the girls recovery, and
Mrs. Powell has become resigned to
the inevitable.
She is a good girl, and there is no
doubt that what she says is true," de-
clared Mrs. Powell last night. ut
may be that our Lord has spared her
to me and that she will get we'll but

KOCH ON BOVINE.
TUBERCULOSIS
Noted Scientist Tells About It's
Relation With the Human
Bacilli

Washington, Sept. s0-Dach of the
seven sections Of the international
congress on tuberculosis at their ses-
sions in the national museum today,
contributed much to knowledge
through the discussion by renowned
scientists Of the measures that prom
ise success to the world movement
against the ravages of tuberculosis.
More than hundred speakers were on
the program Of the several sections.
The great interest centered around
the work Of sections Nos. 1 and z in
which DR.. Robert Koch. the German
scientist and discoverer of the tuber-
Gle bactllf. actively participated. His
address on the relations of the human
and bovine tuberculosis was perhaps
the most notable of the day.

HORRIBLE SCENES
Elephants Used to Remove Decompos.
ing Bodies

Hyderabad, India, Sept. 30-It is
feared that a pestilence will follow
the floods that have occurred in Hy-
derabad and Deccan districts as a
result Of the unprecedented rainfall
of the past few weeks. The waters
subsided yesterday and the country
is strewn with unburied bodies and
are limited to a number not less than
one thousand. Most of the corpses
are thoses of women and children.
They are decomposing already and, as
1t will be impossible to get them un-
der ground promptly. an outbreak OF
illness is feared. Many elephants are
at present employed in removing the
dead.

Explosions
ARRIVAL OF ARMED MEN
SAVED The BANKS CASH
Burglars Fled on Handcar But Were
Forced to Abandon It and Took to

Posses.

after almost completely wrecking the
vault, being routed out by citizens
who were awakened by the series of
three explosions necessary to gain ad-
mittance to the banks vault. With
the aid Of handcar the men went
south over the Milwaukee railroad,
but Cogswell people sent in an alarm
to the towns along the line and the
men soon abandoned the car and have
very probably taken to the hills near
by. Posses are out making a search
for the" party, which is supposed to
consist of four men.
Investigation shows that the hand
car was stolen at Nicholson, on the
500 line. taken to Cogswell and there
transferred to tho Milwaukee railroad.
The men then went to work on the
banks vault. The explosions were very
powerful, wrecking the entire front
part of the big vault and arousing
nearly everyone in the city.
Men soon appeared on the scene
armed with rifles but were too late,
the safe blowers taking flight before
securing any Of the money. The
handcar was heard going south and
notice was sent to Brampton, where
1t was supposed the men might stop.
The burglars continued through that
city. going to point three miles fur
ther south, where they removed the
car from the railroad, hiding 1t in a
cornfeld.
Posses were organized as soon as
possible and have since been engag-
ed in securing the country, but with
out success. The state penitentiary

BACK FROM HEAVEN
Remarkable Story Of Girl After End Of
COmatOse State

New York, Sept. 30.-After awak-
ing from what appeared to be the
sleep of death Ethel Powell, eighteen
years old, Of Brooklyn, declared she
had been in heaven for forty-eight
hours and had seen the Deity and her
dead father and brother.
Ethel, bright and pretty girl, at-
ter graduating from school begged
to be allowed to 60 to work and help
support the household. She found a
position in the mail order department
of the American News company of
Manhattan, where she remained until
ten weeks ago. One day she complain
ed of being i'll and was compelled to
take to her bed. The family physician
pronounced her case one of spinal
meningitis. Her 4eart became weak
and she began to waste away. The
physician could do little for her. for
Ethel was brooding over the loss of
her father and little brother, Charlie.
Heard Her Murmur Beautiful"
The girl frightened up a week ago.
and last Sunday called her mother to
her bedside where the two prayed to-
gether. About ten O'Clock that night
Ethel fell into what appeared to be
peaceful sleep. Her mother heard the
girl talking to herself. With her
hands clasped, Ethel would murmur
the word beautiful" and her eyes
would light up as though she had seen
some beautiful vision. Finally the
girl became as still as death. She
remained in that condition for hours,
her eyes fixed on the ceiling. Although
her mother spoke to her repeatedly,
she made no answer.
DR.. Steen of the New York hospital
was summoned. He did everything
known to science to bring the gir! to
consciousness, but failed. Her jaws
were set, and 1t was impossible to ad-
minister restoratives. Never did her
eyes change from her fixed stare up
ward and her body was motionless
DIR. Steen held lighted candle before
her face, but the eyes never even
twiched. To all appearances she was
dead, and only faint beating of the
heart told the doctor that life was
not extinct Thus she lay for whole
day.
Awakes From Her Trance.
Word was sent to the rectory of the
Bushwick Avenue Congregational
church, and the pastor, the Rev. John
Lewis Clark, hurried to the Powell
home. Ethel was one Of his flock, and
he tried to arouse her. He said last
night that in response to his efforts
a bright smile came to tile girls
face and the word beautiful" was
murmured through the tightly closed
teeth. The minister watched at the
bedside for long time and frequent
ly saw the smile illunline the girls
face and heard the word beautiful"
repeated. DR.. Steen and the Rev.
Dr. Clark made other calls, but always
found Ethel in the trance. Finally at
4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, forty-two
hours after she fell into what looked
like death sleep, Ethel's eyes moved
and she spoke.
"Oh, mamma. have been to heav-
en-" were her first words. What a
beautiful place. Why did they bring
me back. It was all SO bright and
lovely up there and everybody is so
happy"

from the Irish "blairne' little field,
the Gaelic form being "blair" or 'blar,"
a plain. The village is -four miles north
west of Cork and has few hundred
inhabitants. In the groves of Barney

to be held over the parapet by the

in the Emerald Isle desire to report
that they have kissed the real barney
stone that one in the top of the wall
is held to be sufficiently near the real
thing for the fiction to be maintained
that it IS the true stone with all the
