BRYAN NAILS IT.

Thursday's Lie Nailed by the Demo

cratic Standard Bearer-

Win. J. Uj- an makes explicit denial tho accusation preferred against him by Senator Thurston to tho efleet that he (l.ryan) was in the employ of mine (owners. His denial is coupled with a challenge to the national republican cmimittHo to come out in tho op.'ti and accuse him or forever be silent. Ilis statement is as follows: "I have already denied this charge oh several occasions, but the reiteration of it by Senator Thurston, a diMingufched resident of my own St.tte, mo in answering it again. I have never at auy time or under any circumstances been I iu the employ of any mine owners, indi- I viduhlly or collectively, directly or indirectly, nor have 1 ever beeu in the emI p'oy of, or paid by, any bimetallic league association Aside from my editorial salary of about 5'I.JO per mon-.h, paid by the Omaha World-Herald and a small amount derived from tho legal profession, my income sii.'eo my retirement from Congress has been derived entirely from lectures before Chautauqua 1)ceum and lecture bureaus which have usually paid me a fixed sum, and from contributions made by tho people of the localities where 1 have spoken.

ID some instances I have received noth ing at all. In mof.t cases 1 have received J[more than enough to pay my traveling expenses. In only two instances, I think, has my compensation exceeded 6100 ami in these instances it was atiout 8200 at one placo and about 8300 at the other. The first platform on which I ran for Congress in 1890 before 1 wuB'politically known outside of my State, contained a free coinage plank and my republican opponent that year was an advocate for free coinage. I only" mention this to show that my ad vocacy of free Eilver is not of recont date. Having made this answer to Mr. Thurston's letter 1 shall hereafter take no notice of individual or newspaper comment on the subject, if tho repub lican national com mi'tee will say ollicially that 1 have ever been employed to make speeches by any mine owner, a group of mino owners or by any association supported by mine owners, 1 am ready to make a ntatement showing in detail all money received by mo for speech making."

Tho sixty-sixth annuai meeting of the Western Indiana L'hristiau Conference bogan Monday afternoon at the Antioch church, near Frankfort. This Conference has jurisdiction over the counties sf Sullivan, Greene, Owen, Clay, Vigo, Putnam. Parke, Hendricks, Boone, Montgomery, Benton, Tippecanoe, Fountain, Vermillion, Warreu and Clinton. The county of Montgomery is tbe recognized legal center, though the meetings may be held at miv designated town or city within the bound,iries of the Conference.

The Rev. A, J. Akers. of l' armersburg, is the presiding officer of tho Conference'. Tho first nay's attendance was small, and the time was taken up with prayer and testimonials, Tuesday night tho Revs. Mr. Bannon and Mr. Maxwell preached to large congregations. Tuesday night tho Revs. Mr. Bannon and Mr. Maxwell preached to large congregations. Tho Rev. Mr. Bannon, whose :ino is at Wayuetown, has, during tho last fifty years, missed but one moeticg of tho Conference. Tho annual address was delivered Wednesday at 11 a. m„ by the Rev. R. H. Gott, of Mellott.. The session will contine throughout the week.

Cochrnii's Spcccb. Burke Cochran, tho Now York renegade democrat, who is tpeaking in the interest of McKinley aud the gold bug platform, undertook to answer .Bryan's speech in New York a few days ago. He made sorry work of it, in fact he could not do it and neither will any of their speakers. Bryan's speech direct on the money question on the 12th, in New York is a splendid effort, and republican orators to answer it have not yet been found and are not likely to be. Much was expected of Cochran, as he is well paid for his WOI K, but his speech was a disappointment.

Neither Oil Nor Gnu. The drill in the well sunk by the Brazil Gas, Oil and Mineral Company was withdrawn Tuesday night and the well will bo abandoned. Much was hoped for, as when tho drill penetrated the trenton rock theie was a strong odor of gas or oil nevertheless the drill passed through without striking a vein, and entered thelimestone, where a flow of mineral water was found.

May Be KeOpcned. F. S, Bennett, Cassopolis, Mich., has been in town two or three day this week examining the Iiobbins House, and investigating generally with a view, of re-opening it. Mr. B., is an old hotel proprietor.

ANOTHER ASSERTED HOLD UP.

But the World-be Robbers Made a

Water Haul This Time-

A driver for Messic, of Ladoga, who was coming to town on .Monday night for a supply of ice, claims that an attempt was made to rob him when near the corporation line, on tho Danville I road, about a third of a mile south-east of (ho Plum street depot. When at that point, two men stepped out from the road, seized tho reins of tho horses, and ordered him to get out and turn over his valuables to them at once. Just before tho order was given to liim by tho mon, ho dropped his money and a watch in tho bottom cf tho wagor. having antu..pHt:'d that their object, ivus robbery

Oiijlirbt seeing them. Uefoi o, however, tho -arching him buggy was. hoard ftp. pro,ic.ling, tho mon at once jumped the fence near by and soon disappeared. The driver came on to to.vn and at onco ie r!ed the matter to the ilioe, but it hing resulted from it, aud the tliiev -s are doubtles awaiting their chances to make another stand and deliver meeting when they may tho next time be BUceebBful in their criminal work.

Iho report of tho commission appointed by the General Assembly on the building associations and a law governing them has excited profound interest throughout the state, and no littlo alarm among s^ock holders in some of the institutions. It is a secret no longer that sincu the report was made public there have been a largo number of withdrawals in this city, and whether demise was hastened or not, one atsoiia'ion haB gone into rocoivorsiiip hands.

A number of tho associations hiivo made vehement protests against tho accuracy of tho statistics given by tho commission, but J. E. McCullough, president of the commission, to-day responded that its information was obtained from reports filed with tho Auditor of the Stato by the companies themselves, and barring ono or two trilling clerical errors, whatovor mistakes had been made wero duo to bad book-keeping by tho associations, and not. to any error of tho commission.

Since the report was made public tho state Auditor's office has boon boBiegod wil anxious inquiries by depositors who are frightened by tho showing made by the commission.

Persons having surplus cash and investing it in building and loan associations should, if possible, know just what they are doing, how thoir mouoy is to be expended and how much interest they are to receive on their caBh. In several Statos, a few in Indiana, we believe, building associations have gone up the llume, placed in tho hands of assignees and stockholders had to whistlo in vain for thoir invostod cash. One thing is generally noticed about them—tho officers don't worn for charity, and gonerally are well paid, too well paid for the work thoy do.

Tin- Slate I-'u'r.

The state Fair managers are again before the public with thoir announcement for tt.'e fair which this year will bo hel 1 Sept. 14! to 19th. Tho rates will lie ono faro for the round trip, and all who contemplate a "Day Off'', will do well to keep in mind tho date. There will bo now and special foatures that will bo noticed in tho columns of this paper later, and the 189G Fair will be attractive. Exhibitors should writo for catalogues, and wake thoir entries early. Entries close Sept. 7th in al departments except tho Horticultural whore they close Sept. i-lth. Address Chas. F. Kennedy. Soey..

NICIIUIMOII I.aw Case KolitiiriiiK.

Petitions for rehearing in tho Nicholson law decision by tho Supremo Court, sustaining tho law, were filed yesterday with the clerk. Iho cases involved are Wilson vs. Ivarst, from Warren county Robert White vs. Prifogle, from Union county, and Grelle vs. Wright, from Huntington. The last two wero appealed, to settle tho right of signers to a remonstranco to withdraw thoir names within three days of tho board meetings, and tho first involved the question of the languago of tho statute in donying a remonstrance.

Cunning K*tnblitjliniont« Clo»e.

The financial stringency is having a bad effect ori tho Illinois Coru Canning Company. It is almost impossible to sell tho product even at-a loss. The Illinois Canning Company at Iloopeston ill., will not can any more corn this season. The Hoopeston Canning company, after running two weeks, shut down yesterday throwing 250 men out ot employment. In ordinary seasons tt would can for six weeks more. The fields of corn adjoining tbe factory will be allowed to ripen and then bo uBed to feed cattle instead of being caned.
