OMAHA, July 19.-Now that the
democrats of Nebraska have succeed
ed in getting William j. Bryan
down. the leaders of the party have
determined to absolutely crush him,
and to that end are preparing to ad-
minister such a rebuke to him at the
state convention next week that the
country will know that his home
folks have at last repudiated him. Ac-
cording to plans. Mr.. Bryan will be
absolutely ignored. He will not be
placed on a single committee, and
while he will be permitted to address
the convention, his advice will not

THREE PRISONERS ARE
IN FOR LIFE
Will Ask for Pardons from the State
Board of Parole When II
Meets Tomorrow.

DES MONIES, July When the
state board of parole meets tomorrow
to consider the parole of prisoners in
the penitentiaries which they have re-
Gently been visiting there will be up
for their consideration the parole of
three men serving life sentences. The
applications Of these three men were
referred to the board by the governor.
Possibly the most interesting case Is
that of Orman Mcpherson, an old sol
dier who has been in prison since
March 25, 1897, serving life sentence
for murder. He killed the town mar
shal at Morning Sun. Louisa county.
He was at the time threatened with
lynching because it was rumored he
was going to kidnap his child, who
was with its mother. He claims he
shot In self-defense. Another ''lifer''
asking parole is Thomas w. Watson,
who has been confined In jail since
March Ia, 1884. He was convicted of
murder. The third seeking his liberty
is George A. Williams, who killed
the deputy sheriff of Union county and
who has been in Jail since April 9,
1900.

Wage Controversy on Pennsylvania
Lines Has Been smoothed out
to Satisfaction of Both
Sides.
TWO SIDED VICTORY
Both the Company and the Men Be-
lleve That They Got just
Exactly What They
Wished.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 19.--
General Manager w. H. Myers of the
Pennsylvania railroad, and the COM
mlttees representing the $4,000 train
men and conductors employed on the
lines of the road east Of Pittsburg
agreed on basi for the settlement
OF the wage controversy. Each side
claims to have gained all that 1t had
been contending for. The negotia-
t1ons have been in progress for six
months and eliminated last week in
the strike vote by the employees.
The proposition offered by the
railroad and accepted by the men in
cludes a minimum day of ten hours,
as detailed in the New York Central
award. The question Of overtime was
left to be decided at conferences be-
tween the various members Of the
committees and the superintendents Of
the lines which they represent. 1t was
further agreed lnat the men would
be guaranteed twenty-six days work
a month. While the men regard this
as concession, the officials say that
during the recent hard times the men
benefited by being worked on short
time rather than being laid off alto
gether.
Until the conference the railroad
officials, it was declared, were under
the impression that the men were
really demanding a ten hour day with
eleven hours pay, but the company S
manager stated that it had all along
offered to grant the standard rate and
was satisfied not to reduce the pay
of any Of its men, If none was in
creased by the New York Central
award above that of the standard rate.
An official OF the company stated that
by readjusting the runs it can pay the
new rate without greatly increasing
the expenses of the company.
A. b. Garretson, president of the
Order Of Railway Conductors, shortly
after the conference adjourned, took
the eighteen hour train for Chicago,
and from there will go to Cedar Rap
ids, Iowa, to attend meeting of the
board of directors of his organization.
w. G. Lee, president of the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen, will re-
main in this city with the members
of the general committee until the
final details of the adjustment have
been worked out.
Employees IN this city who would
have been affected by the strike order
were jubilant at the turn of affairs.
No one was anxious to walk out.
While the wages Of no one will be
decreased, the men say they will re-
| ceive more money under the pro-
posed readjustment of conditions
