The medical director of the hotel informed us that father was not likely to live until morning. I left his side at midnight, and retired to my room for a short rest. My mother, whom he desired not to leave his side, ^feame to my door about two o’clock this morning and told me -that the end was near. Soon after he lost consciousness and passed peacefully away. He talked to us to a half hour before he died, and repeated the Lord’s prayer with my mother some time before he lost consciousness. His conduct all through his illness has been marked by great fortitude. He wassginxious for the end to come, as he had felt for the last six months that his life work and career of usefulness was over.” HIS LIVER IS OUT OF ORDER. 6».

A YOUNG' GIRL DECAPITATED. SkocktBK Basalt at a Collision Between a TraatU Coaspanjr Car ss4 * Wsgts at At. Louis. v St. Louis, Aug. 20.—One young girt beheaded, two men seriously hurt, and two persons slightly hurt are the results of a collision at Maeder street and South Broadway last night at 8:15 o’clock, between car No. 810 of the | Sixth street division of the Transit company’s lines and a light wagon bearing a party of six for an evening's outing at a summer garden. Despite the fact that every older person in the conveyance was injured, little Luke Skeele, only two years old, of No. 614 South Third street, escaped without a scratch. . Immediately after the accident an excited crowd of some 400 persons assembled and made a determined effort to lynch the mortorman. The latter, however, was already under police protection, and after some time the crowd was dispersed. Those is the wagon when it was struck were Mr. and Mrs. George Skeele, Blanche and Luke Skeele, of 614 South Third, Sosthenes Fichesser,. of No. 510 South Third street, and Herman Kussler, of 319 Rutger street. Blanche Skeele was instantly killed; Russler’s face was badly contused, hia face cut and his skull possibly fractured; Fichesser’s right leg was broken below the knee; Mrs. Skeele’s hands'and feet were crushed, and she ; suffered severe bruises; Skeele himself was badly bruised all over the body, but was not believed to be seriously hurt. KILLED IN SELF-DEFENSE. * -- To $nve His Own Lite a Son Sends a Ballet ThronKh Hla Father's Heart.

Lincoln, Xeb., Aug. 20.—James M. Burnham, publisher of the Wviuoran, at .Wymora, Xeb., shot and killed his father, Capt. Collins A. Burnham, at 1 -their home yesterday. A coroner’s jury immediately exonerated the son. Both father and s^n were both prom- 1 inent political workers in the county j in which they reside. The killing was ! in self-defense. The son gave himself up to the officers. Capt. Burnham was a captain in the civil war, and while a congenial man when sober, he was a fiend w’hen in- i toxicated. Many times he had threat- j ened to kill all the members cfcf his family. Yesterday morning the fa- : ther came home and made an assault ! upon the son. The father used a butcher knife, and after getting his son in a corner, was in the act of plunging the knife into his body. When there was no other alternative, the son drew a revolver and fired a shot which went through Capt.. Burnham’s heart, killing him instantly. AX FACTORY PLANT BURNED. W«s Valued at Elfht Hundred Thousand Dollars—.An Army of Employes. Alexandria, Ind., Aug. 20.—The entire plant of the Kelly Ax Manufacturing Co., valued at $800,000, was destroyed by fire last night. It was the largest ax factory in the world, employing some eight hundred or a thousand men when running at full force. The’ company had just enlarged the factory, increasing the output fully one-third. W. C. Kelly, president of the company, formerly owned and operated a factory in Louisville, Ky., and removed to this city in 1883. The company went into the^hands of a receiver three years latfer. The plant was well equipped. The factory was located north of the fcity, outside of the corporation, and the fire department could not render any assistance. The fire cut off the water supply of the factory, and left no means of fighting the flames.

FOUND IN A POOL OF BLOOD, loans Woman Deaten to Death by a Hammer in tbe Hands of Bnrslars. New York, Aug.- 20.—Catherine Scharf, aged 22, was beaten to death with a'hammer in her rooms on the second floor of 64? Second avenue some time between 7 p. m. and mid* night Saturday, the body not being found until early yesterday morning. Her brother made the discovery when he came home after midnight. The woman’s body lay in a pool of blood, face downward. Near-by on the floor was a bloody hammer, and the rooms had been ransacked of everything of value. It is the opinion of the police that a thief entered the hguse, and was surprised in his work by the girl, and that he killed her to prevent identification. * North American Krieserbnnd. Akron, O., Aug. 20.—The fifteenth annual convention of the North American Kriegerbund began here yesterday. There are 50 lodges in the organization, and it is expected that all will be represented. There will be a big crowd at the parade to-day. Capt. Herman Werner will be the chief marshal. Officers will be elected Tuesday. The business sessions will occur on Monday and Tuesday, and Wednesday will be devoted to sightseeing. * Rebel Foreea Surrender. Colon, Colombia, Aug.

THE OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT. Wit* iMh • Leader as Brjraa, Peaseeratte Victory Is Almost Ass—aW Mr. Brian's speech of acceptance at Indianapolis is without doubt the po* litical event of paramount importance in the present campaign. Mr. Bryan received at the hands of the democratic party the nomination for the presidency. A partisan utterance upon this occasion would have been pardoned— nay. more, wps even expected by the country at large. Tradition and precedent exist to justify a candidate in such a course. He of Canton—Mark Hanna’s man—who was recently notified of a nomination, took occasion to plead for the principles of a party and in the c^use of an administration. In multifarious terms he told what “we” had done, and fairly reveled in the deeds of “us.” The republican party was defended—even apologized for. And William McKinley accepted at the hands of those who bore the stamp of the republican party the nomination for the presidency of the United States. Mr. McKinley's speech of acceptance will go down in history as the statement of a party chief to his party followers. Bur how different is the tone and tenor of. Mr. Bryan’s Indianapolis address. McKinley spoke to a party—Bryan to a nation; McKinley plead the enuse of an administration—Bryan the cause of a people. McKinley defended the principles of a party; Bryan spoke fn defense of the principles that are at the foundation of free government; McKinley spoke as a candidate, but Mr. Bryan spoke as an American citizen. In the face of existing circumstances

sufficiently defines the issue as to tbs Philippines. The broader issue of imperialism, which includes that of the Philippines, may be stated thus: Mr. Bryan stands upon the doctrine of the declaration of independence, that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. Mr. McKinley stands for the utter repudiation of that doctrine and for “the doctrine of the thrones, that man is too ignorant to govern himself,” and mast be subject to those who rule by superior might and divine right. Mr. Bryan upon leaving Indianapolis went to Chicago, where he has been ia conference with the leaders of the party at headquarters. To say that the outlook for the democratic party at the present time is hopeful would be putting it mildly. Mr. Bryan's speech | seems to have put a new aspect upon the campaign. Telegrams of congratulation from republicans and gold democrats have been liberally ponringin uj^ on Mr. Bryan and the executive eomI mittee. Influential papers that hava I been hesitating as to their policy, upon receiving Mr. Bryan’s speech openly indorse the candidacy. The converts of a week would fill a column. When such conservative papers as the Springfield Republican become enthusiastic | for the success of the party; when such papers as the Boston Post, the | New York World and the Baltimore Sun, all of whichj supported McKinley in '96. openly indorse Bryan, the outlook must be considered bright. !" But thepc papers have not been tho only additions to the force of the militant democracy. Wherever large bodies of men have gathered during

f THE THREE REPUBLICAN GRACES— PUTTY, BOODLE AND TEETH.

it is a fact of peculiar significance that Mr. Bryan could reply to the notification committee in a speech bearing as little trace of partisan politics as the constitution of the United States or the declaration of independence. This does not indicate that Mr. Bryan is not a good democrat, but rather that the democratic pdrty is contending not so much for certain theories of administration in a free government as for free government itself. Hence it is, that, fighting for the very existence of the republics, the position of the patriotic litizen who stands for free government ind the position of the democratic party becomes identical. Mr. Bryan was great enough to redognize this. Mr. Bryan’s speech was remarkable on account of the things he said. Mr. McKinley's Canton speech was chiefly remarkable on account of the things he did not say. The Canton speech abounds in vague intimations and promises. It does not hold out to the Filipinos the faintest hope either of independence on the one hand or of the freedom and rights of American citizenship on the other.

me voter nas oniy xo reaa so mucn of Mr. McKinley’s speech as relates to this subject in order to find this state* ment to be oorrect. He will find some* thing about giving to, the Filipinos as much self-government as they are fit for—as though the right of people 10,000 miles away to self-government was not a God-given right, but a right to be granted by some authority in Washington. But he will find not the faintest whisper of such a thing as independence for a people over whom we have no authority except such as Spain somehow is supposed to have had a right to give us. In Mr. Bryan’s speech, however, the voter may find a pledge that if he is elected he will convene congress at the earliest moment to declare the nation’s purpose: “First, To establish a stable form of government in the Philippine islands, just as we are now establishing a stable form of government in Cuba. “Second. To give independence to the Filipinos, just as we have promised to give independence to the Cubans. “Third. To protect the Filipinos from outside interference while they work out their own destiny, just as we have protected the republics of Central and South America and are by the Monroe doctrine pledged to protect Cuba.” This is a sufficiently clear and succinct statement of the democratic'position. Of its correctness, of course, there' «an be no doubt. This, with what McKinley says, and I with what he significantly omits to say,

the past month the events have been productive of much encouragement to the democracy. The dissolution of the gold democracy at a regular meeting, and the quick assimilation of all its influential members by the regular party marked the end of the truancy of 1896. When the Ohio Bar association met in yearly Convention a few weeks later and the president, Judge A. P. Laubie, a lifelong republican, denounced McKinley's policy of imperialism, he found no dissenters, though fully half the members were republicans. Quickly following this, Dr. Silas C. Swallow, candidate for president of the United Christian party, addressing his followers in a convention said: “If we must choose between the two candidates of the old parties, I must say that I should support a man who clings to principles and adheres to what he believes to be right rather than the man whom the people never knew where to find on any vital issue.” According to the press reports, this

statement was received with remarkable ^expressions of approval. During the dame week Father Heldman, a prominent Catholic clergyman of Chicago, in an address before the German Veteran league brought the entire audience to its feet in a spontaneous expression of approval when he scored the administration’s policy in the Philippines and Porto Rico. In Ohio the defection from republican ranks has been especially marked. The Germans who gave McKinley such strong support in 18% are coming over in droves to Bryan. Besides this Frank S. Mon nett and Cleveland’s former mayor, Robert McKisson, men with enormous personal followings, are fighting Mark Hanna tooth and nail. Then, too. that vast independent element headed by Jones, of Toledo, are practically a unit for Bryan this year. It will be remembered that Jones polled 120,000 votes when he ran for governor last year. -The great argument the democrats have to withstand in this eampaign'Si the hard cash argument—the money contributed by the trusts as the price of republican protection and the levies on officeholders. “Even the whisky and beer venders in far-away Manila are expected, to contribute to Hanna’s campaign chest.—Pittsburgh Post. -Between the democratic belief that imperialism is the issue and the republican assertion that money is paramount the trusts are quite happy. But there is time enough to make them miserable vet. you bet!—N. Y. World.
