GOOD WISHES EXCHANGED Resolutions Adopted by Organiza tion or Southerners in This City Express Hearty Indorsement of Democratic Candidate. Felicitations have been exchanged between the Kentucky Klick of th s city and VT. J. Bryan, the Democratic Presidential nominee. In fact, the Kentucky Kllck was the first organi sation, political or otherwise, of this city to congratulate Mr. Bryan formal, ly on his nomination as the party's standard-bearer, and for the same rea son it waa the first to hear from the Nebraskan officially. At a meeting of the Kllck July 10 the following resolutions were adopted and ratified: Whereas, the Republican party of today Is rapidly forming a vortex of centralisa tion, the purpose of which l to establish a monarchy In lieu of a fonrnmeat of and by the people, and Whereas, lia preceptorial tendencies " always been Hamlltonlan ai distinguished from Jefferson ls.n. and deadly at variance urith the wishes and Interests of the honest, energetic and producing classes of this "lay ered Nation," b It therefore Resolved, that the Kentucky Kllck. as its choice of ail candidates, favors William Jennlnsa Bryan and John Worth Kern for President and Vice-President of the I'tlteil Ftatea. and to that purpose and end snail faithfully work for the election of tha Dem ocratic electors of Oregon. In the hope thereby of adding In November next to the electoral college, four votes for these two worthy sons of Democracy, nominated at tha Denver convention. The secretary is hereby directed to mall a copy of these resolutions to William Jen nings Bryan and John Worth Kern, nomi nees for President and Vice-President of the Democratic party. In resoonae to the message of good wishes, the Kentucky Kllck yesterday received the following from Mr. Bryan: I am in receipt of your recent favor and wish through you to extend my thanks to the members of the Kentucky Klick. for the resolutions recently adopted. I appre ciate the Interest which the organisation feels In this csmpalgn and send to them my cordial greetings. The Kentucky Kllck Is an organisa tion composed of men born south of the Mason and Dixon line. While pri marily it is not a political organ iza tion. it is in no sense a non-partisan clnb. It boasts of having first pro posed for office the names of John Manning, Mayor Lane and Governor Chamberlain. The election of Demo crats only is advocated and supported by the organization, which was the first to place a Democratic ticket In the primary nominating election last April. Its members are now espousing the election of Governor Chamberlain as Senator and Bryan and Kern for the White House. Mark O'Neill is president, and S. C. Armltage secre tary of the Klick. which has its offices and headquarters in the Chamber of Commerce building. . FIRST BRYAS CLUB FORMED Democrats to Make Spirited Cam paign In Multnomah. Multnomah County Democrats are en tering the Presidential campaign with I vim that would do credit to an organiza tion of many times their number. G. H. Thomas, county chairman, proposes to nave a Bryan and Kern Club In every pre ctnct in the county, and it will be through these precinct clubs that the activities of the campaign will be directed. The first of these clubs was organized in Precinct No. 63 Saturday night, with the following of fleers: President, J. D. Welch, secretary. W. J. Regner. A num ber of other precinct clubs will be or ganized this week. Mr. Thomas has es tablished headquarters for the campaign 4n this Mntitv In tm Atnwtrth hiiiMtnff I Third and Oak streets. TROOPS SCATTER RIOTERS (Continued From First Page.) National Guard of Illinois, with the ex ception of the Sixth and Eighth Infantry, colored, was on duty in the riot ridden districts tonight. In all 4200 guardsmen axe in the city. Two deaths due to the violence of Fri day and Saturday occurred at St. Johns k Hospital. William Donegon, the aged colored man whose throat was cut last f- night, expired at 11 A. M. Frank Delmore, who was shot through the lungs on Friday night, passed away one hour later. " Five Violent Deaths. This brings the list of violent deaths during the race troubles up to five. A counciUof war was held at the Capitol at 4 o'clock -this afternoon by Governor De neen, Major-General Toung, Adjutant General Scott. General F. P. Well and Colonel J. B. Sanborn. At the meeting a plan was adopted which it is believed will render further demonstrations improbable. Colonel San born was given command of a provisional brigade consisting of the First and Second Infantry Regiments with instructions to preserve the peace in the territory west of Seventh street. The two regiments estab lished headquarters on the Capitol grounds in shelter tents bordering tha State House on three sides. Jail, Brigade Headquarters. General F. P. Wells was placed In com mand of a second provisional brigade, con sisting of nine companies of the Fourth Infantry, two companies of the Third In fantry and 13 companies of the Fifth In fantry. General Wells, with headquarters at the County Jail, posted guards to cover the city east of Seventh street. Troops B and G of the First Cavalry were detailed under Major Frank Bush at division head quarters under command of Major-General Toung. Citizens Applaud Soldiers. The Second Infantry reached this city at 4:30 P. M., under command of Colonel John Garrity. The manner in which a line of skirmishers were thrown out as tho guardsmen debarked from the train gained applause from the crowd which gathered at the railroad station to watch the ar rival. The khaki clad militiamen marched to the Capitol to the beat of a fife and drum quickstep, and the assignment to Colonel Sanborn's brigade followed. A tt was nearly midnight when the Seventh Infantry and the First Cavalry troopers arrived, no brigade assignments were given them. They probably will be detailed as reinforcements to the two bri gades already formed. Tents Offered to Xegroes. Governor Deneen said this afternoon that he wished so to protect the city that the negroes who fled will return. "We can protect them here, and we cannot when they scatter about the city," said the Governor. "If they will come back we will give them food and shelter in Gov ernment tents." At the conference In the Governor's of fice this afternoon, steps were taken to notify the negro residents of the suburban districts to come into the state arsenal for the night. The scattered settlements ex tending around the outskirts, present too great a field, for even the great body of troops here now. It was the Idea of the military authorities that most effective work could be done with the danger spots restricted as much as possible. Lawless Element Plans Attack. Another factor in this connection was the large number of warnings of impend ing trouble. At all the principal stations word was received that attacks were be ing organized by the lawless elements, who, with a complete day of rest, were expected to make tonight the time of su preme test between the mob and the troops. Several complaints were received from near-by villages and hamlets of the ex Istence of threatening conditions. Tha most insistent came from Chatham, a vil lage 12 miles south of here. Tha negroes there had become frightened at the attl tude of their white neighbors and asked that troops be sent. Then- spokesman was told that the best plan would be for them to come to Springfield and seek protection at the arsenal. Refugees Nuisance in Country. The authorities are a bit worried by conditions in the outside sections. Scores of 'negro families have left Springfield either on foot or by trolley cars, the lat ter class riding as far as their means would permit and then striking across country. These tramping parties, aimless and penniless, are causing some com plaints from the communities through which they pass. The whites assert that the presence of these negro paupers im poses unnecessary burdens and also argue that only the shiftless and immoral por tions of the Sprtngneld negroes are repro Rpnted. Minor depredations, it is said. have already Increased in the farming districts because of this condition. The SDrinefield authorities are doing all they can to reassure the negroes still here- Thus far they have been partially successful, although the number of those who have sought shelter In the arsenal is surprisingly small. Most of the refu gees are advanced In years, too. The younger negroes, who might be expected to add fuel to the smoldering flames by rash acts, thus far have generally refused to become wards of the state. Capitol Grounds Strategic Point. Governor Deneen explained tonight that the disposition of troops at the Capitol was not because of any apprehension of danger to that edifice, but because the grounds offered excellent camping facili ties and were a strategio point from which Colonel Sanborn could control the situation west of Seventh street. An example of this was offered late this afternoon, when an alarm reached the arsenal from Spring and Edwards streets, where William Donegon was lynched last night. A rapid-fire squad, under Captain J. V. Clinnin, of Chicago, was sent to the plAce on the double quick. When five minutes had elapsed he had cleared the streets for half a mile from the threatened corner, three companies of infantry being held under arms at the arsenal meanwhile. The State's Attorney of Kankakee County called on the Governor this after noon in an effort to have arrested the soldier who stabbed Earl Nelson with a bayonet In the First Regiment train at Kankakee last night. The Governor re ferred him to the military authorities. WILL NOTIFY CHAFIN TODAY Prohl Leaders Gathers at Chicago for Ceremony. CHICAGO, Aug. 16.

TRY TO GET MOXEY'S WORTH Pennsylvanlans Invert Million Dol lar Capitol Lights. HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug, 16. (Spe cial.) "The most unklndest cut of all," to the great art ldeae of the architect. Joseph Huston, of, the State Capitol, Is the turning upside down of a great number of the million dollars' worth of chandeliers . in order to improve the artistic effect and to get better light from them. These "exclusive design" chandeliers, many of them weighted with pig. iron and sold to the state by the pound. at an almoet fabulous price, embodied the most sublime of all of Huston's aes thetic ideas. But when it came to fur nishing light they succeeded very poor ly. Equipped with ordinary Incandes cent lights, they cast a faint glow up ward and left the floors In half-shadow. Superintendent Rambo hit upon the Idea of turning them upside down and equipping' them with lamps of higher power. Rosenthal's wlnoows are moaay-savera.

The Instrument with which Perdue was murdered is an iron piece about 18 inches In length, made from a wagon tire. Each end had a spike for the pur pose of driving into a tree to act as a fulcrum for a chopping board. Perdue was struck over the head with this bludgeon and one of the spikes entered the coat sleeve, showing that it was possible that the victim put up a fight. There was no bullet found in the body, which was badly decomposed, although Johnson carried a borrowed weapon. Watched by Sheriff Stevens. Sheriff Stevens and his force of depu ties have been keeping watch on John son's movements for more than two weeks. The man has been in and out of the city, at first rooming at Harri son Court, Fifth and Harrison streets. After being there a short time he dropped from view, and was later found at the Salem Hotel. His wife was with him most of the time. Sheriff Hancock was notified as soon as Johnson was located, and came to Portland Saturday night, arresting Johnson on a John Doe warrant. When taken into custody he was eating din ner in company with his wife.

Men Speakers on Review. Atchison Globe. When a man epeaks to a man. there is a certain saw-like quality in his voice. But when he speaks to a young girl, no tice the oil and velvet appear In his voice! THE DOCTOR says "drink beer" to the weak and the convalescent. To those who need strength need a food and a tonic. If it is good for them, isn't it good for you? The virtue of beer does not lie in the alcohol. There is only 3 per cent, of that. It lies in the malted barley a digested food. And in the hops a tonic and an aid to sleep. It lies, too, in the fact that the drinking of beer flushes the system of waste. So would water, of course, if one drank enough of it. But you don't drink water like beer. When, beer is pure there is nothing more healthful. And Schlitz beer is pure. It brings no after-effects, no biliousness. But better go without beer than to drink the wrong beer. That is why the Doctor generally says "Drink Schlitz." BRYAN AFTER WEST Party Managers to Send Speakers Into Montana. MACK GOING WEST, TOO Proposes to Make Trip Latter Part of September Bryan Will Lay Stress on Denver Plank for Guarantee of Deposits. CHICAGO. Aug. 16. A fight to swing the Northwestern States into the Democratic column is being outlined by the Democratic National committee. and Chairman Mack is contemplating a trip to the West to rally the leaders of the party along the Pacific Coast to vigorous action. Reports received at Democratic headquarters indicate, the leaders say, that Montana and other states in the mountain region are forming a promis ing battle ground for the Democrats. John H. Atwood, head of the speakers' bureau, said tonight that he would be nrenared to send many well-known speakers Into the Western territory to wage a lively campaign in every debat able district. Chairman Mack expects to make his Western trip during the latter part of September. National Committeeman Martin J. Wade, of Iowa, left here tonight for Buffalo, where he will open the Na tional campaign tomorrow night in New Tork with a speech under the auspices of the National committee. BRYAX WILL TRY XETVY TACK Proposes to Lay Stress on Guaran tee of Bank Deposit Plank. FAIRVIEW, Lincoln. Neb., Aug. 16. A suggestion novel In its character and regarded by Democratic leaders as one calculated to strengthen the party in the campaign, will be acted upon by the Democratic National Committee upon the visit of W. J. Bryan to Chicago next week. Much stress is being laid by the Demo cratic nominee on the plank in the Denver platform relating to the guarantee of bank deposits, and this topic will be dis cussed quite fully by him In his speech at Topeka August 27. If the suggestion Is followed, and there is every reason to believe that it will be, every community in which a bank has failed during the past year will be sought out and provided with arguments through which it is hoped to convince them of the soundness of the guaranty plank. Mr. Bryan today, as usual, attended morning services at the little ilethodiet The BeerThat Made Milwaukee Famous Church in Falrview. In the afternoon a number of automobllists from Lincoln, among them Mayor Frank W. Brown, rode out and paid neighborly visits to the Bryan family. When the party arrived Mr. Bryan was out on his farm, but he was notified of the presence of his callers and quickly returned to the house. Matters political were not touched upon. As his visitors were leaving some one suggested to him that he had room enough for a full golf course, but he ex pressed a preference for baseball, now that the National game was a co-operative one, whereas in golf one had to "go it" more or less alone. CRUISER BADLY DENTED Colorado Will Have to Remain at Sound Several Weeks. SEATTLE, Aug. 16. A special to the Post-Intelligencer from the Navy-Yard, Puget Sound, says: The cruiser Colorado will be detained at the Navy-Yard for several weeks, un dergoing repairs for the damage suffered when she ran her nose on the shore at Lip-Lip Point Saturday morning. This fact was gathered from the examination of her hull, made by divers this after noon. The divers made a thorough in spection of the ship's bottom, complet ing their work at 9:30 tonight. . It was found that the vessel has suf fered little damage on the port side. The plates on the starboard side, however, for about 100 feet from the bow. are badly dented, and the rivets so sprung that some of the plates oan be moved by pressure of the hand. Eight plates, at least, will have to be removde. The docking keel on the starboard side also Is badly damaged and it is estimated that several weeks' work will be neces sary to put the cruiser again in service.
