McKinley and Hobart Wheel
? men's Club Meets..
A LINE OF ACTION AGREED UPON
Clabs Art to Be Organized Under Mili
tary RnleaPregldentlal Cans-
. paig-n Plans.
Chicago, Aug. 14. The executive
committee of the National Wheelmen's
McKinley and Hobart Club held a meet
ing last night in their rooms at the
' national Republican beadquartere.
Messrs. Banna and Dawes, of the na
tional Republican committee, were pres
ent, and a line of action "was agreed
npon.
' From the mass of correspondence re
ceived from other cities seeking informa
tion, it is evident that large .masses will
have to be handled, and nothing bat
military discipline can accomplish this
without confusion. The executive com- j
mittee has therefore adopted the follow
ing plan of organization :
' Companies of not more than fifty nor
less than 30 shall be formed, each com
pany to choose a captain, lieutenant,
staudard-bearer and bugler. . ,
Every four companies shall be organ
ized into a battalion and shall choose
major, who may select his. aids and
standard-bearer.
13 very battalion, shall form a regiment.
for each resident a . colonel shall be
chosen, who shall select his aids and
standard-bearers. The executive com
mittee shall choose brigadier-generals.
It is intended to' have a meeting at
Chicago of all the members of the na
tional organization at least once daring
the campaign. For organization in other
cities and towns the national executive
committee urge that the above line be
followed as closely as possible.
' Any person desiring to form a branch
in his locality, by : addressing the na
tional secretary. Charles Wliitacre, at
the national Republican headquarters
Chicago, will have forwarded to him the
necessary literature and instructions.
CAMPAIGN GOSSIP.
Joint Financial Debate Will Probably
Be Given Up. .
Washington, Aug. 14. It is probable
that there will be no ' joint debate be'
tween the gold and silver standard
bearers. The idea has few advocates in
the Republican ranks here, and Chair
man Babcock, of the Republican ccn
gressional committee, is pronounced in
bis opposition to it.
When asked whether Mr. McKinley
would take the stamp, he said he did
not know, bat hoped that Mr. Bryan
would continue to talk, as everything he
. said made Republican votes.
Representative Mercer, .of Nebraska
. secretary of the committee, strongly
' favors a stumping tour by McKinley
He said :
"On the Pacific coast the great and
vital question is the tariff. So far as the
money question is concerned, we have
the best of that argument, as .all will
readily see if they take the pafns to in
form themselves. . I should like to see
McKinley make a tour, beginning in
California, working up the Pacific coast,
then coming East, giving about six
weeks at the end 'of the campaign to
that work." '
Two of Candidate Sewall's Teasels Seized
for Debt;
-, .
New Yobk, Aug. 14. Two ships be
longing to- Arthur Sewall, Democratic
vice-presidential candidate, were seized
' by the marshal on libels yesterday morn
ing, but - were subsequently released
upon the filing of a bond. Mr. Sewall
is the head of the firm of Arthur Sewall
& Co., shipbuilders of Bath, Me. His
partner -is unknown to the libellants,
who designate him in- the complaint as
"John Doe." ' -
The two ships, the Iroquois and W. F.
Babcock,. were repaired on July 2d and
July 15th last at the drydocks of the
John N. Bobbins Company. The amount
of the bill was $848 and $852. The re
pairers declare they have repeatedly
asked lor payment of their bill; .but
' could get no money." A second attach
ment against the Iroquois was obtained
by Lewis Davis, owner of tbebarken
tine E. S. Powell, which was injured in
a collision with the Iroquois in June aud
damaged, it is alleged, to the extent of
$8,000, for which amount action - was
brought. " ,' !' ,
BE WILL NAVIGATE SPACE.
A San
FranuUoo Man Desirns a New
' .. . Airship. .
San Fbancisco, Aug. 14. -Dr. C. A.
Smith, is more enthusiastic than ever
over his ; flying machine since he re
ceived a telegram ."Wednesday . from
Washington informing him that a patent
had been granted on his device for sail
Ing through the air. . A company was
incorporated in this city last Saturday
to build Smith's airship, navigating air
vessels and carrying on a . general busi
ness in them. I. J. Truman, president
of the Coluriibian bank, anil George T.
Garden are among the stockholders.
The attorney for the company is M. M.
Estee. . '
These well-known men declare that
Smith's machine appears feasible as a
mechanical proposition, and that it is
really a most ingenious solution of the
difficult problems that have, faced the
scientific aeronaut. Smith himself
claimB it will lift itself and " additional
weight, and more that, he can so con
trol its flight as to practically imitate a
bird on the wine. This means that the
airship can be lifted from the earth and
depressed-at the will of the engineer
who may also steer bis vessel hither and
thither, descr.be circles regardless of the
wind, and perform evolutions like a ship
at sea.
It is still further claimed for this won
derful invention that it. can be driven
into the very teeth of a storm. Indeed,
if all that is claimed for it proves true,
the lonz-talked-of airship will soon be
an accomplished fact.
The company intends to open a work
shop at once and begin the construction
of Dr. Smith's first airship. And in the
course of a few months, the expectation
of seeine the machine arise and- float
aloft will be very strong.
. Oregon Jungle Story.
"Pole" and George Avery left Corval-
lis three weeks ago for a rousing old
time in the mountains says the Times,
Well, they had it. They returned yes
teiday noon, and 'were heavily laden
with dried meats and stories of adven
ture that rival Kipling's "Jungle
Stories" They hunted in the Yachatts,
5-Mile creek, and 10-Mile creek coun
tries, and '5-Mile creek they were joined
by Jim Wilkinson, a nephew of Beaver
Creek Jim
as "Pole"
Jim is a good hunter as well
and George, and they had I
famous success. . When George was
asked "what luck?" . he rephed "Thir
teen deer, a bear, a cougar and cut s bee
tree." Jim Wilkinson bad a dog with
him to use in hunting, and he also had
a pup along that he . was teaching to
hunt. Some one of the party had killed
a deer and taken it to' camp. Arriving
there the carcass was thrown down' in
front of the tent near the place where
pup was chained. Not one of the party
was far from thecamp, and either George
or "Pole," or both of them, were shooting
within a short distance of the camp, and
Jim was but a few rods away, when there
was a terrible screaming,' bowling snarl
ing and ki-yi-ing to be beard at the spot
where the pub was chained. Jim Wil
kinson rushed up and beheld the pup in
the clutches of the cougar. ... As - often
happens in cases of emergencies, his
the cougar was inside of the tent lying
on his cartridges, and ere long the pup
was literally torn to pieces! ' He shouted
for George to come quickly, and when
the latter reached the scene, Wilkinson
seized the gun and shot the animal, kill
ing it right in the tent. Jim was so en
raged at the destroyer of his pnp that
he grabbed a knife and cut it into strips.
The cougar was a female and it must
have been very hungry, for it never
flinched at the approach of the men
ine scalp was saved and will bring a
bounty of $2 or $3.

mine owners. Mr. Coney said :.
"The Populist party came into exist
ence to right the wrongs that had been
perpetrated by corporation greed; but
now it is in the act of aiding the greatest
corporate greed ever known.

TALKED TO HIS EMPLOYES.
A Railroad President Sneaks on i
, Money Question. -
Kansas City, Aug 15. A. E. Stillwell,
president of the Kansas City, Pittshurg
& Gulf railroad, is the first employer of
any large number of men in this vicinity
to begin an active and open political
campaign among the men whose labor
he hires. Today all the railroad's shop
men in Pittsburg, Kansas City and in
termediate points, besides many other
employes of the road, altogether num
bering several hundred, were given a
free holiday and transportation to Fair-
mount Park. When they arrived, Mr,
Stillwell appeared before them in the
auditorium and deliverd an earnest ad
dress in opposition to' the free-silver
erase," as he termed it. Mr. -Stillwell
declared that the ' free-silver agitation
had done more harm to the laboring
man had taken more bread but of his
mouth than the' civil war. He assured
his employes that they would never see
any free-silver men at the head of any
great enterprises that develop the coun
try and give work to the laboring men,

Edward Ward Accidentally Kill
Brother at Portland.
A Hfln finri fatal anrifipnK nmtnmw! vm.
terday morning at the home of Mrs.
Ward, a widow living in the third story
of the building at the northwest corner
of Morrison street and Union avenue,
Portland. '-
Edward Ward, her oldest son, aged 23
years, was engaged in cleaning a revol
ver, which he supposed to be empty. It
was loaded in every chamber, however,
as was subsequently ascertained. Ed
ward's brother, Henry, aged 17, wished
to examine the weapon and made a
search for it while it was in Edward's
hands, and in some unaccountable way
it was discharged. The bullet entered
the lower region of the boy's abdomen,
and he started to ran oat of the room,
but fell to the floor. Revoverlng his
feet, he hurried down the two flights of
stairs, and ran into Logan's drug store,
near by, and told Mr. Logan what had
happened., ' .
Drs. GilleBpie, Chambers and Johnson
were summoned, and soon arrived, and
upon examination saw that the boy was
fatally wounded.
Young Ward was thereupon conveyed
to St. Vincent's hospital, and in the
afternoon Drs. Gillespie and A. C. Smith
placed him under an anaesthetic, and
found that the ballet had passed through
the stomach, perforating the large in
testine in three different places, and had
then lodged in the spleen, which was
badly lacerated. ' The wounds were
carefully stitched, but the worst feature
toward a possible- chance for recovery
was the perforated spleen, which made
the case even at that time almost hope
less.
W nen young ward regained consci
ousnees, Dr. Gillespie informed him
that he had but a few hours to live. The
boy, who had borne up bravely, received
this sad information in a calm and
heroic manner.. He suffered intensely,
but endeavored to repress the evidences
of his sufferings, as be did not wish to
add to the sorrow of his heart-broken
mother, who was at his bedside, and to
whom he spoke comforting words. At
10 o'clock he died, his mind remaining
clear to the. very last.
At the time of the shooting, Mrs.
Ward was at chnrch. Edward Ward
says that he did not know the revolver
was loaded, and his grief over the de
plorable accident is as keen as that of
his mother. ' .Young Henry declared
that the shooting was purely accidental.
An inquest will be held this afternoon by
Coroner Koehler. . V
Arraigned for Larceny of a Saddle.
Henry Tennant was arrested last even
ing for larceny of areaddle on complaint
o; Alex. Fargher,
The facts in the case are that about
three weeks ago defendant borrowed a
saddle from Mrs.' Fargher, stating he
was sent for it by a friend of Mrs. Far
gher who wanted to use it. Soon after
ward the same saddle was sold to Rupert
& Gabel for $7.50 by Tennant., About
this lime Mr Fargher returned from the
East and hearing of both transactions
had Tennant arrested for larcenv.
The defense we understand will be in
tricate, if the story Tennant told in con
nection with the transaction is to be
used. He claims he lent the saddle to a
friend for two or three days. ' The days
lengthened into weeks and still the
saddle came .not. Finally a stranger
came in with a horse and saddle which
Tennant admired and he purchased
them. He then sold the saddle to
Rupert & Gabel, when lo, it turns out
that the saddle be sold was the identi
cal one he loaned to hia friend some
"weeks before. This story . possesses
much . artistic merit from a novel
writer's point of view, but who shall say
that truth !b not stranger than fiction?
The trial of defendant took place this
afternoon at 3 o'clock before Justice

Cleveland, O.,' Aug. 17. Major Wil
liam McKinley, the Bepublican preai
dential nominee," accompanied by his
wife, returned to Canton this morning,
after having spent Sunday in this city
as the guest of M. A. Hanna, the Re
publican campaign manager. - '
w ten major ana Mrs. McKinley ar
rived at the depot this morning to take
the train for Canton, they found a crowd
of people waiting to ' see them off.
Hearty cheers were given for McKinley,
to which, the nominee responded by
bowing and raising his bat.' The dem
onstration was not concluded until the
train had pulled out. . " .
Hanna will leave for New York this
evening to visit the Republican head
quarters there and look after important
business in connection with the cam
paign.
When asked today as to the truth or
falsity of the recent report that McKin
ley would soon take the stump, Mana
ger hi anna responded that McKinley
would do no speaking daring the com
ing campaign.
Hanna is confident of the success of
the Republican party at the coming
election, and says that evidence contin
ues to come in of the weakening of the
free-silver craze in- various states.
Bryan at Poughkeepsle.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., Aug. 17.
When W. J. Bryan reached Ponghkeep
sie 400 people were on deck to greet him.
and followed him up the street cheering
and shouting for' a speech. When he
reached the depot tbe crowd - became so
insistent that Bryan finally yielded to
their wishes, and standing, on a box
said: ' .
I am up here for rest, and I did not
expect to make a speech, but I probably
shall not see you again, and I will take
this opportunity to sav a few words to
yon. 1 an . very glad to see you all
From the tone of the New York opposi'
tion press one would be Jed to suppose
there was no silver sentiment in this
state. I am glad to see here the refuta
tion of that fallacy and to notice that
even the great New York press cannot
stifle the wishes of the people. This is a
time when the thinking people outnum
ber corporations and when people will
vote according to their own judgment.
"It is to be tbe greatest campaign we
young people have even seen, and I be
lieve is a good sign when we can, as in
this campaign foresee independence. We
are naturally an independent people,
and this is a time when; that independ
ence should be asserted.'!
Then Bryan asked, "How many here
are silver men?"
A number of men raised their hands,
and he said : "I, want yon to study up
this matter and see how many Bilver
men you can gej out for our campaign
How are you for the woxkingmen?"
shouted a man in the crowd. '
Bryan heBitated a second and then an
swered: "Will you take what I have
said and what I have done, consider it
very carefully, then judge as between
on r cause and : that of our opponents;
The candidates represent only the poli
tics in their parties, and it is not for me
to tell you what is your duty. It is for
you to study tbe issues and I am glad
that you are doing so, and when you find
out what your duty is, do it." .
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan left on the New
York Central train for Tivoli, where Mr,
Pernne will meet them.
