Bodies of cavalry and infan- try in large numbers took part in the procession. All shops were closed, and the flags on the public buildings f1oated at halfmast. Three volleys were fired over the grave and a great number of wreaths and other floral pieces were ar ranged about the burial section post mortem examination, which was held be- cause of suspicious that had been aroused concerning the cause of death, showed that death was due to natural causes. At the request of the widow of the late war embassies and foreign hospitals attended the autopsy and signed declaration to this effect.

The father and mother were notified by wire this afternoon that their son had been seriously injured while in bathing, and they tried to get details over the long distance telephone, but further than the fact tha he had dived in shallow water and received injuries from which he had become paralyzed, full
 information could not be gotten.

BRYAN DENIES THE SELLING OUT STORY Pennsylvania Ganard Is Turned
 Down fIatIy REFERRED TO COMMITTEE MT. Bryan's Speaks of Van Cleve's Charges and Says He Will Make
 Fuller Answer To Him In
 Speeches Later.
REFERRED TO COMMITTEE

Fairview, Lincoln. Neb.. August IT, The most important happening at Fair view today was the emphatic denial given by w, J. Bryan to a story printed in Pittsburg this morning that he had "sold out" to the Kerr faction of the Pennsylvania democracy in order to achieve the defeat of Col James M. Cuff fey for national committeeman. The price said to figure in the affair was S2OO000. The charge is said to have been made that MT Bryan made good,' but that MT. Kerr and his supporters had not come forward with the money. MT. Bryan declared that he had never heard of the offer or agreement, and he sug- gested that the proper persons to consult were the members of the committee on credentials which decided the Pennsyl- vania contests.
 Mir. Bryan would not premit himself to be drawn into a further discussion with James w. Van Cleave, president of the Manufacturers association, who came out in the press today with additional reasons why the business of the country should not support the democratic HdllOial llckel. HIS ueclSlOH was peiscu on the fact that MT. Van Cleave had failed to defend his former contentious, but had shifted the discussion to other questions.
 When his attention today was called to the statement of James w. Van Cleave, president of the Manufacturers associa- tion, printed this morning in which MT. Van Cleave for the second time within a month held forth that the business men should not vote for the democratic can didate. Mir Bryan would not enter into a lengthy comment regarding the matter but he charged MT. Van Cleave with shifting the decisions to other questions instead of defending what he before said
 MT. Van Cleaye issued statement appealing to business men to defeat the democratic ticket on account of the labor planks,' said MT. Bryan.
 q replied to his appeal. Instead of defending what he said before, he now attempts to shift the decision to other questions. It will not be necessary to now answer what he says. I shall during the present month discuss the questions which he lays special emphasis upon-the tariff question at Des Moines and the guaranty of bank deposits at Topeka"

tered Uncle George, and slept again. Shall we start?" asked the man who rolled the wheel.
 Get over by the switch" said the fat dealer.
 The lights went out. The one who had operated the switch crept toward Uncle George, and finally woke him. A great clamor began. Chips clacked, and cards were shuffled. I'll take two,'' said a deep voice, and bet 20.' See it, and 20 better"
 In the dark Uncle George sat up and listened, then began to shiver All the sounds of busy poker game reached him. At times, a sobbing moan inter- rupted the noise of rattling chips. 'Is it midnight? I must be back in my grave then"
 A dreadful voice groaned this ques- tion. "GhostsY' quavered Uncle George. He shivered. Lord, And swore An seen dis yeah light a burnin', tain't 10 minutes ago"
 Horrible creepy laughter echoed What have you got. brother?"
 "The dead mans handv' replied the deep voice mournfully.

APPEAL TO EDITORS.
Democrats and Independents Will Be
 Asked To Help.

Chicago, August 17.-Editors of every democratic and independent newspaper throughout the United States will be appealed to by the democratic national committee to start sub scriptions for the democratic campaign fund in their newspapers. This appeal it was made known by Col. Moses Wetmore, chair man of the finance committee, is dis stinct from the effort already inau- gurated by the national committee to obtain money through financial repre- sentatives under the direction of na- tional committeeman in each of the states in the country. Col. Wetmore said:
 we are going to get the money to run this campaign make no mistake about that. The republicans know where to get theirs. no matter what contributions they may have to turn back to comply with the law. Every source that we can find will be tapped and the results of our efforts so far are fairly encouraging. The finance committee started today to send ap- peals to editors of all democratic and independent newspapers to start sub scription lists and to every contributor the national committee vii send an acknowledgement as a souvenir of the campaign. The appeal is signed by Chairman Mack, Gov. Haskell, treasur CT of the committee, and myself"
 Senator Thomas F. Gore of Okla homa sent word to the national com mittee today that he would give one half of the receipts of a coming series of lectures that he had been engaged for the campaign fund. National Com mitteeman G. B. Tucker of Arkansas was a caller at headquarters today.

MYSTERIOUS MISSION.
Military Balloon Starts Out at 10
 O'Clock at Night.

Berlin, August 17.-A military dirigibe balloon made an ascension at 10 o'clock this evening at Tegel. The military of- ficials maintained silence respecting the intentions of those in charge of the bal loon, but it is rumored that they will try to remain in the air through the night possibly making a voyage to Hamburg and return.
 There was weird scene at the balloon shed just prior to the ascent. The pulp iic were kept out of the parade grounds, which was in total darkness, and around which guard of armed sentries. had been thrown. The only evidence that an as- tension was about to be made was the whirring of the motors and the sharp commands that were issued Finally great yellow envelope was seen for moment but it quickly disappeared into the heavily clouded sky. The only sign or its passage as it moved off was the bright rays of searchlight at the end plat form.
