B I i I G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT ■ Red, White and Blue Floating In Honor of the Veterans. I MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN PRESENT. Cominander-In-Clilef I. N. Walker Arriven—Two Reception* to Bo Held Tonight — MinneHota Want*. Major T. 8 M Clark Hon to Command the Orgunlzati on ■ Next Year. H St. Paul, Aug. 31. —From every ■ housetop in this city floats the red, ■ white and blue banner that extends a ■ greeting to the veterans who have be- ■ gun to arrive for the 30th annual eu- ■ campment of the Grand Army of the ■ Republic, while across the streets and ■ up and down the wide avenues of the H residence portion, and from top to botI. tom of the big office buildings, in all ■ manner of designs, may be seen the naH tional colors. The railroads say they ■ will be able to handle the crowds, not ■ only in coming to the city but also as ■ they leave, when the biggest rush is looked for. I The first of the important arrivals I were this morning, when CommanderI in-Chief I. N. Walker and staff arrived I on a special train and were given a cor- | dial and official welcome by the local posts of the Grand Army. I They were escorted to their headquarI ters at the Ryan, and the w ork of the I encampment will hereafter radiate from I that center. I Today will be given up to the arrivals I and settling of guests and in the evenI ing will occur the first Os the receptions. There will be two of these, the most I important being that to the commanderI in-chief and staff at national headquarters, and the woman’s relief corps at I the state capital. The first illuminaI tion of the city in honor of the encampment will occur then and will then be I co - "d every evening during the w k. L o is little talk of the possible results of the encampment elections, but the Minnesota vetera s ire in evidence with some very pronounced ideas. The Minnesota veterans are almost solidly in favor of Major T. S. Clarkson of Omaha, for commander-in-chief. Major Clarkson was a prominent candidate for the office last year. The final election of commander-in-ehief is considerably affected by the fight for location of the nest encampment, and for that honor the only candidates yet mentioned are Buffalo and Denver. The encampment business sessions do not begin until Thursday. Mrs. Johir A. Logan, without whom no encampment has seemed coinpletc to the old veterans, is already in the city visiting her daughter, whoresides here, and will witness the parades and part in all the encampment receptions. POPULAR SUBSCRIPTIONS. Chairman Jones Asks Newspapers to Collect Campaign Funds. Chicago, Sept. 1. —Chairman Jones of the Democratic national committee yesterday received a telegram from William J. Bryan, in which the latter stated that he would arrive in Chicago on Sept. 4th and remain until the evening of the 7th. Labor day he will address the labor organizations and leave for Lincoln. This is necessary, as on the Bth he will be officially notified of his,. nomination by the national silver party. In response to the appeal issued by Chairman Jones for popular subscriptions to the campaign fund, many contributions are now being received. In order to systematize this work Chairman Jones asked all weekly and dail.’ papers in the United States who are favorable to the election of Mr. Bryan , to start popular subscriptions in thei respective publications. Such editors are authorized to act as collecting agents for the campaign fund, and are urged to publish from week to week the names of contributors and the amounts subscribed and to forward the same to William P. St. John, treasurer of the national Democratic committee. OIL REGIONS DULL. Wages Being Reduced* and Many I’ump- i ers Leaving the lie Ids. Laporte, Ind., Sept, 1. —There will be a general reduction in wages of pumpers at work in the Indiana oil fields. When business was firm, the wages of the men running the pumps increased from SSO to $55 per mouth. The dullness of triple induced the companies to reduce the number of pumpers, and now a 10 per cent cut is to be made in wages. Little drilling is being done and many men have left the oil regions of the state. MISS MARGARET BAILEY. Has Smoked a Pipe For Oue Hundred Years. ’ HuNfINGTON. 'lnd., jiepf.

Probably Attempted Murder. * Cincinnati, Sept, I.—A woman of 60 ypars of age, named Mary Harvey, is «, dying at the hospital from injuries received in a mysterious manner. . She is supposed to have been thrown from a tenement house, where she livpd wit h husband ami daughter. The police theory, is that someone in the tenement house in a quarrel or disturbance of. some sort, must have thrown her to the ground, whore she was found. Her ow n room being on the ground floor, it is clear that sue? input have been elsewhere when the q barrel took place.

NATIONAL MEETING Democratic, Leaders Gathering For, the Fray Next Wednesday. GENERAL PALMER TO RETIRE. It Ih Haiti Everything Point* to One of the Mont EutliUHlaatlc and Memorable Convention! In the History of the Union —Ex-Chalrmiui William F. Hurrlty Coming. Indianapolis, Aug. 31.—The National Democrats had intended to hold a conference tomorrow and select the man to be nominated Wednesday, after a complimentry vote had been given to various prominent men throughout the country. It had been thought such a course would be necessary to ascertain who would be willing to serve, but so many men have been pushed forward lately that*the conference has been abandoned. Among the names mentioned last night are Henry Watterson, General Bragg, Senator Vilas, General Palmer and Mr. Bynum. Ono thing that worries the gold mon is as to what namevto give their party. Secretary Wilson, of the national committee, in discussing the matter said: ' “I appreciate the legal difficulty that surrounds the question of a name, and cannot undertake to say what the convention will do upon that subject. In the matter of a device,.however, there is no difficulty. We shall probably adopt the Kentucky idea of a picture of Jefferson.” It is thought the convention will not change the name of National Democracy. That name is now so familiar to the public as designating the gold men, it is said, that it would be useless to make a change. Lists of delegates elected have come in so promptly that Secretary Wilson says he will be able to have the temporary rollcall completed by tonight, with exception of New York. Harrity’s Coming Canse* Surprise. The executive committee were surprised when William F. Harrity, exchairman of the Democratic national committee, engaged rooms at the Grand hotel. His coming, it is said, is an indication that the Democracy of Pennsylvania will support the Indianapolis ticket in a body. Mr. Harrity was elected at Chicago jis Pennsylvania’s member of the Democratic national committee and was one of the men whom it was attempted to oust at the New York session ofThe committee because of his hard money views. It is anticipated that there will be very little trouble in making the platform, nearly every state that has held a convention has sent a copy of its declaration to the executive committe. It is believed that the money plank will be similar to that of 1892, and the indorsement of Cleveland and his administration is also expected. As to whether the Wilson bill will be upheld it is impossible to ascertain*. It is s aid the platforms of the various states together, with the national may be printed in pamphlet form and circulaaed as campaign literature. Either John P. Irish of California or Senator Vilas will be chairman of the committee on resolutions. Ex-Congress-man Abraham S. Hewitt of New York will draft the platform. Ex-Governor Flower of New York has telogKiphed his willingness to accept the temporary chairmanship, and Senator Cafferv has been notified that he has been selected for the permanent chairmanship. Much satisfaction is expressed ovex- Mr. Flower’s acceptance, as it is thought it will go a great ways toward harmonizing factions in the Empire stair. A. letter at headquarters addressed to J. Sterling Morton, postmarked Washington. is the subject of considerable conjecture, By soine it is thought to be flip letter that it is said, in certain quarters, Cleveland would write to be read to the convention. Members of the executive committee still contend that they have not received a word from Mr. Cleveland. General Palmer to itelure. ’ General Palmer, chairman of the provisional national committee, intends to retire, having only consented to serve until the convention should meet. It is said that ex-Mayor Hopkins of Chicago will succeed him. Mr. Hopkins arrived here Saturday night with the advance guard from Illinois. The ex-mayor ou being asked his choice for president said: ‘•My choice for president is Henry Watterson of Kentucky, and I think I am warranted in saying that at least half the --..-•’'deiegitro.. ... x for him. We shall be satisfied with any of the men mentioned, but Watterson’s name would be a tower of strength to us, and • with it we could make a great campaign.” A number of newspaper men are here representing the New York World, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Chronicle and New York Herald and other papers, The§c representatives say everything points,to one of the most enthusiastic and memorable conventions in the history of the Union. N. H. Luster, one of the delegates from Texas, registered at the Bates. ’Be-’ ing asked who he .thought the convention ought to nominate said he wanted to see the. convention indorse McKinley. I Indications are that by tonight the business portion of the city wj.ll be, handsomely decorated in honor of delegates and visitors , Delegates have been arriving all night. Tlorida men want Grover Cleveland' nominated. .

ABDUCTED AN ILLINOIS GIRL * liißHne From Alleged Persecution—Will Build h Big Oil Retincry—Tried to Cut HU Throat—Miner! Resume Work at Sullivan, Ind.—Farmer Finds a Chicken Buyer*! Pocketbook Near Hi! Henroost. Sodom, lud.,Aug. 29.—William Smith, was found ueud in bed from the effects of a bite of a “persimmon worm.” This worm is called by that name because it lives on the leaves of the persimmon tree. Mr. Smith was bitten on the left hand, and he complained of being sick within an hour. When his dead body-was found the arm and side had swollen intensely and turned the color of tobacco juice. These worms are so numerous that trees on which they feed are almost leafless. Five years ago they were quite common in this locality. The people in the neighborhood hold them in deadly fear, the more so since the death of Mr. Smith. Persons are disposed to classify them as tobacco worms, but neither the tobacco nor the tomato worm, and really both are practically the same, have horns or spikes as does the persimmon worm. LEWIS STEWARD »*AD. Ba Waa at One Time Candidate Far Gevernor of Illinois. Plano, Ills,, Aug. 29. —Lewis Steward is dead at his home here of muscular rheumatism, aggravated by an injury received in Chicago about three years ago. He was one of the most honored of Illinois’ honorable citizens. In 1876 he was selected as standard bearer of the Democratic and Granger parties and headed both tickets for governor. He lost the election by only 5,000 votes in a state which had gone Republican by majorities ranging from 30,000 to 50,000. In March, 1891, he“was seated as member of congress from Illinois. Oue of his colleagues was William Jennings Bryan. He and My. Bryan were personal friends. In 1860 Mr. Steward started the Marsh Harvester works at Plano and afterward the Plano Harvester company.

While Mr. Williams was sadly inspecting broken* lock and door ue found a pocxetbook which contained SSO, and the name of the chicken buyer was pasted on the inside. When the vender of poultry arrived he was much chagrined at the news, and made diligent search of the premises for traces of the thief. He departed without finding any clew. FANNIE THOMPSON ABDUCTED. Sixteen-Year-Old Girl Taken From Her Home by Two Men. Monmouth, Ills., Aug. 29.—Much excited over the disappearance of Fannie Thompson, 16 years old, living in southeast part of this county. Nola Booth of Swan Greek, who served a term in the penitentiary for opening switches on the Burlington, is her supposed abductor. He went to the home of the missing girl on pretense of securing her services as a domestic, and induced her to accompany him. After going a short distance another man got into the conveyance, which greatly alarmed the girl, causing her to scream for help. Her cries were heard, but all efforts to find any trace of the men or girl since then have proved unavailing. MBS. INGHAM SLOWLY DYING. Michigan Faster Is Not .Expected to Survive Much Longer. Laporte, Ind., Aug. 29.—1 f Mrs. Ingham the Michigan faster, lives until Sept. 2 she will have. fasted 200 days. She now weighs but 78 pounds.

BATTLING FOR GOLD .j? ' ’ T r National Democrats Will Be In Session at Indianaoolis Tomorrow, — . I NO REPUBLICAN SIDE SHOW, Henry Watterson Said to Have the Lead For the Nomination — Leading Men say It Will Be the Greatest Uonveution Hehl In Yearn —Want a Jeflernon and Jackson Platform. Indianapolis, Sept. 1. —Wednesday at noon will be opened one of the most remarkable conventions in the history of the United States. The Democratic 1 party has, in its time, had two serious splits besides the present one—in 1860 [ and in 1872—and each time recovered itself from ruin. Will it be able to do so this time? The gqjd people claim it will, and say that the present conven- 1 tion is held for the purpose of preserv- . ing the party organization which otherwise would go to pieces after the November elections, when they profess to believe Bryan will be defeated. That the convention will be representative seems certain. Secretary John R. Wilson of the national committee has the regularly signed credentials of [ 60!) delegates. New York and two or j three other states did not name their I delegates until yesterday. Men of na- 1 tional reputation who are here and have ■ looked over the list of delegates, declare that in point of personnel the conven- 1 tion will be more thoroughly representative than any political gathering held in years. “I doubt if there ever was a gathering in this country that brought | together more clearheaded and brainy ’ men,” said one gentleman. The managers of the National Democ- ; racy have been accused of getting up a • sideshow for the Republicans, and have denied it as often as it has been made. It is now reiterated most emphatically and they say a ticket will be made that will delight any follower of Jefferson to vote for, and all indications point to the carrying out of their predictions. While there are a few delegates here who think the convention should adopt a platform and. go home or else indorse McKinley, the great majority say they do not want any “McKinleyism,” but a straight out Jefferson and Jackson platform. Henry Watterson, having telegraphed that he would accept the nomination if tendered him, has given his name greater prominence to the deteriment of Senator Vilas. It is said when the senator reaches here hewill end all talk in reference to himself, and support' General Bragg, as he was instrumental in having* the Wisconsin convention instruct for the general. A boom for first place on the ticket was started for Senator Gray of Delaware. It is said in Gray’s interest that he comes from a state that can be classed both as a southern and eastern. He is believed to be in as close touch with the administration as any man in public life, and would Le acceptable to the president. In the event of Watterson’s nomination it is said second place will go to Illinois, otherwise it is probable it will go to Buckner of Kentucky. L. C. Krauthoff, member of the executive committee from Missouri, says he expects to see an income tax plank in the platform. “This will be done with practical unanimity,” said Mr. Krauthoff. T. A. Darby, Florida delegare, says that his state is for Grover Cleveland for president, sound money and tariff for revenue only. Perry -Belmont is one of the New York delegates, but declined to talk fur- ■ ther than to say: "lain a delegate t-o this convention, and will attend it. I am also a member of th? New York state -Deniiicratic committee, and any-! thing I would say would be injudicious on my paij.” Ellis B. Usher of Wisconsin said he d,id not know what the gold men would do in his state further than to h.mim.er ■ Mr. Bryan into the ground. Walter Kessler, sergeant-at-arms of the convention, appointed his assistants ' yesterday. With two or three excep- I tions they are all from Indianapolis. The managers of the two old parties are taking a deep interest in the eon-1 vention. Many leading representatives ! of both are here and will stay until the work is finished. The gold meu yesterday strung a banner across rhe street from the Grand hotel announcing their headquarters. The state committee will meet today to elect delegatos-at-large. There are four of them to elect and three have been decided upon. They are Darnel Noyes, Laporte; George Ford, South Bend and J. C- Robinson., Spencer. Chairman Jones* Advisory Committee.
