BRYAN IN BATTLE.

Lincoln, July 21.-William !. Bryan
has hard fight on his hands in at
tempting to place 4 county option
plank in the democratic state plat
form.
Lancaster county. i'm which Lincoln
is located, went with him strongly on
the question, placing him at the head
of the delegation and instructing for
both the county option and the initia-
tive and referendum planks But a
number of the other counties are
strongly opposed, and the county lead
ers have shown that they mean to put
up fight to a finish in the state con-
vention, which will be held in Grand
Island on July 26.
Douglas county, in which Omaha is
located, and the largest county in the
state from the standpoint of popula-
ton, yesterday gave Bryan a black
eye, although this was not unexpected.
Douglas county is the stronghold Of
the vets and it was expected that the
county convention would go against
county option by big majority.
The name of Mr.. Bryan was not
mentioned at any time during the
convention. Governor Shallenberger
shared the same fate, being ignored.
The delegates without a single excep-
ton are against county option and "a.
vOr Mayor James Dahlman of Omaha
as candidate for governor. Mr.. Dahl
man will head the delegation of 1O4
members.
Among the other counties that have
I come out as opposed to Mr.. Bryan and
the county option program are: Cass,
Thomas, Fillmore and Jefferson.
Thomas county, after a short discus
sion downed county option almost uu-
animously. In the Fillmore conven.
tion the vote stood l04 to % against
Cass county by vote of l0l TO 35
! instructed the delegates to vote
against the option plank.
Cass county, as in Otoe, which Is
/ regarded certain to send united dele
| CATION against such a plank, is in the
First congressional district, which
sent Mr.. Bryan TO congress. Bryan
has always been strong in these coun-
ties, but they are with Douglas, the
stronghold of the anti-county option
lists and the democrats there will be
among Bryan's strongest opponents
on the question.
In the convention held in York coun-
ty a surprise was sprung. York, the
county seat, was one of the first towns
in the state to vote out saloons, and it
is one of the strongholds of county
option. The resolutions passed were
silent on the question of county op-
tion and the delegates were instructed
to vote as a unit.
Bryan will personally conduct the
fight in the convention and from the
way the counties are lining up 1t Ia
evident that the contest will be bitter
and hard fought.

Amalgamated Society of Railroad Ser
wants Refuses Aid.

New Castle, England, July 2l.--The
Amalgamated Society of Railroad SER
wants today refused to recognize and
finance strike against the North East
ern Railroad company. This attitude
on the part of the society, which en-
braces the whole country, probably
will prove fatal to the success of the
strike.
The strike of the employees on the
North Eastern railroad is fast demor-
alizing the industries depending on the
line. Disorganization of traffic threat
ems ruin to many shippers.
In addition to the 10000 railroad
men who are out, it was estimated to-
day that fully 10000 workers in the
collieries, ship yards, iron works and
other plants have been rendered idle
through the inability of the compa,
nieS to give their products.
.he loss of pershable goods, fish
milk and the like, is enormous. Whole
catches of herring fleets intended for
Yarmouth and Lowestoft Curers are
citing at the different shipping points

RESTORING FREIGHT SERVICE
Passenger Trains Have Got Back on
Schedule in Strike District.

Boston, July 2l.-With the passen-
ger service restored on practically
every line in New England. the Off
cials of the Grand Trunk and Central
Vermont railroads today turned their

trains and the relieving of congestion
which the tie.up has caused.

BOY FOUND BURIED TREASURE
Chest of Valuable Papers Uncovered by
Robert Louis Stevenson's Stepson.

San Francisco, July 81. - When
Louis Osborne, the S-year-old son of
Lloyd Osborne, a novelist and stepson
of the late Robert Louis Stevenson,
armed himself with small shovel and
went out on a sandhill near his home
here to dig yesterday he had visions
of finding treasures. He has not heard
his fathers illustrious stepfather
talked about without getting spirit
of adventure of the author of "The
Treasure Island" fixed in his mind.
The boy stopped digging because
his shovel had encountered an obstruc-
ton. Tested, carefully, the thing that
resisted proved to be metal. Then
Louis dug more furiOusly than ever.
In few moments he unearthed a met
al box. And sure enough it contained
treasure. Opening it hastily, the boy
found twenty-siX hundred shares of
valuable mining stock, deeds to city
property, other valuable papers and
several empty ring boxes.
OF course the boy did not realize the
value Of the property, but he knew the
papers must be worth a great deal or
they would not have been placed in
such a secure box. So he hastily car
ried his find to his mother, who gave
it oyer to the police.
The papers belong to Augustus I'm
brie, a wealthy man whose house is
closed and who is out of the city. The
police think robbers have ransacked
the Imbrie residence and after taking
money and jewelry from the box bu'

from Nebraska, William j. Wilson,
freight claim agent of the Philadelphia

This instance is only one indica-
