Evidence of Representative Democrats Offered to Refute Statements Made in Last Friday's Issue of the Daily Independent

MR. OmF&'S REPLY TO M&TSK&R

Mr. P. E. Sarber, Treasurer Democratic County Central Committee, Says MetsKer's Donation was Returned to Him for Reason of Disloyalty to Party Statement of Representative Lemert.

Editor Tkibüne: I wish to add a few words to my short article in last Thursday's Tribum. I said then, and I still say, that the K. P. lodge was not back of the Bryan meeting, notwithstanding Mr. Mets-

H On Friday, June 19, 1903, 1 sent the following telegram: g "To the Hon. Wm. J. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb.: g $j Conditions here are such that it is best to cancel your Plymouth date for the present time. , WILLIAM O'KEEFE." g $j I did this when I found that Clay Metsker and Corbin $j combination were THE promoters of this meeting and that the K. P. lodge had nothing whatever to do with the meet- j $j ing and that members of the Lodge were denying on the streets that the meeting was under the auspices of their lodge. j$ I felt that Mr. Bryan would not have the crowd that he was entitled to and when I also remembered that the Democratic $j central committee in 1902, returned to Mr. Metsker a check for $15 as a donation (he having proved himself a traitor to the party), I felt it my duty to notify Ar. Bryan. 1 felt then and still feel that it would be unfortunate for Mr. Bryan to j speak here under these circumstances and the results have j$ q proven that I was correct in my belief. gj 1 - ' ) ;: WM.

ker's efforts to prove that it was. It was known throughout the county as a Metsker and Corbin deal, and that is why it was a failuie. Plymouth was on the eve of a big Fourth of July celebration. Metsker, being at war with tbe committee, conceived the idea of having a big day before the Fourth, his plan being to kill off the Fourth, and thus get even with tbe committee who would not be robbed by him, and. also, of worming himself back into, the democratic party, which disowned him when, at the last meeting of the democratic central committee, composed of thirty-three democrats, by a unanimous vote returned bis donation of $15, he having proved himself a traitor to the party. By misrepresentation of things to Mr. Bryan he secured him for a lecture. As soon as I learned of the fraud that had been practiced I sent Mr. Bryan a telegram , saying that 'the conditions of things here were such that ltwould be better for him ta cancel 'his date for this time.'

deception and fraud and by such men as Metsker and Corbin. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to havejevery man, woman and child in the United States hear Mr. Bryan, but not under such circumstances as he was brought here, for I know that he also despises traitonsm and deception. . In Mr. Metsker's long harangue in last Friday's Issue of the Independent there was but one truthful statement, and that was that I gave all my patronage to republican papers. That is true for the simple reason that there is not a democratic paper in the coim ty. - Mr. Metsker asks, uWhat authority I had to send this telegram?" ; I had the same authority I used when I went befere the city authorities and 6topped the gambling of school children in the Corbin den the. right that every citizen has to stop trickery and fraud when he sees it going on before himthe right that I shall still continue to use so long as I live, to exposs dishonesty and fraud, no Prc-rM oa tä XrtA Ltad Ein.

Treasurer of Democratic Central Com mittee's Statement Jtly 1, 1903. I was treasurer of the democratic cnntral committee during- the last campaign, and C. W. Metsker made no contribution to the committee except a $15 check, which he tendered at the last meeting of the committee, and which by a unanimous vote was ordered returned to him because of his disloyalty to the party. P. E. Sarber, Treas.

A Statement from Otto Weber. Being informed that the undersigned was the "representative sent by Mr. O'Keefe to see if it were not possible to have him (O'Keefe) placed upon the Bryan reception committee, " I wish to deny the statement as untrue in two particulars: First Mr. O'Keefe did not send me a$ his representative to see about anything. The subject was not mentioned. When Mr. O'Keefe was informed that Mr. Bryan was to lecture here under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias lodge, he asked me if I was a K. of P.. and replying that I was be not, no further conversation was had by us until the 26th of June, when the article above referred to was published. Second I did not seek to have Mr. O'Keefe placed upon the committee. I did not particularly care who was upon the committee. That is a mere presumption upon the part of the writer of said article. There was no request by me to have him placed on the committee, directly or indirectly. Otto H. Weber. Letter from Hon. Charles A. Lemert Teegardex, Ind., July 1, 1903. At the last democratic primary election I defeated Clay W, Metsker for rep resent it ive, and from that time on he used every means in his power to defeat me at the election. . To my knowledge he has proven' himself false to the democratic party, and his actions have been most severely censured by the party and by the democratic central committee, f' I A il .

Mazzoni Performs an Operation That Gives the Patient Mere Breathing Space.

BELIEVE3 THE PLEtJKA OF FLUID That Clogged the Lungs and Gave the Patient Much DUcrese Ills Condition as Reported Later. Rome, July S, 3:13 a. m. rope Leo is now in a troubled sleep. Rome, July 8, CÄS a. m. The pope on waking did not speak. lie was somewhat irritable, and it seemed as though the blankets and other bed clothes were too heavy, so, he kicked them off at the Imminent risk' of taking a fresh cold, which would be absolutely fatal. The doctors consider that altogether his holiness has had a rather peaceful night. Rome, July 8. Pope Leo ns undergone an operation to remove the liquid which had gathered in the p!?ura and hig general condition was improved thereby. It was onlj' after a conference the doctors concluded it was advisable to operate for pleuiisy, the primary purpose being to explore the affected parts. They hoped incidentally to draw oft! the collected fluid. When their determination was communicated to the pontiff he showed no anxiety. As the operation was not of a capital nature, net suggesting the use of chloroform or other anaesthetics, the pope lay on his bed with his left side exposed below the arm pit to the waist Description of the Operation. First a slight incision was made In the side of the vene:able patient. A solution of alcohol and corrosive sublimate was then injected and cocaine was used to deaden the sensation. The point of operation was just below the seventh rib, and the operation itself consisted in the insertion of a large Pravaz needle syringe. This penetrated to the region where the matter had accumulated and by means of suction slowly drew It off. Under the skillful guidance of Dr. Mazzoni the operation scarcely occupied over four minutes. Showed Improvement at Onee. So soon as the liquid wu drawn off by the suction needle the patient felt great relief, owing to the removal of the pressure of the liquid on the lung, and simultaneously the doctors could hear air passing through that zone which previous to the operation was declared to be impervious, owing to congestion. From a pathological standpoint the free passage of air was consideied satisfactory, but more so were the results the mental and physical relief which it brought to the pope. lie Immediately showed an exhilarating spirit With a slight smile on his pallid face he whispered his thankfulness and bestowed benedictions on the doctors bending over him. Then He Drops Off to Sleep. ' The pontiff even stroked Dr. Mazzoni's face, in the benevolent way willen is characteristic of him. Then with one band he rearranged his position, closed his eyes, and in a few minutes passed Into a calm, healthful sleep. STORY TOLD BT TBK BULLETINS First Oao After the Operation Saje tbe Pope's Condition Is Satisfactory. Rome, July 7. A bulletin Issued at 8-J30 p. m. says: "The condition of the pope as indicated in the last bulletin continues sufficiently satisfactory. His circulation and breathing are slow, but they are gradually improving. "LAPPONI." Rome, July 8, 1:23 a. m. It is hoped that the pope's strength, will be maintained as he has taken somewhat more nourishment, seeming to prefer the yolk of an egg with small sips of a 6timulant, especially brandy.
