An Exciting Convention.
.Milwaukee, Wis , Aug. 5. What
promises to be ono of the most exciting
political conventions ever held in the

by Chairman Ed. Coe, of tho republican
stute central committee. C. A. Lam
oreanx, of Ashland, temporary chair
man, was greeted with cheers. He
claimed for the republicans of the Bad
ger state tho credit of having first advo
cated the no nination of McKinley. He
charged the demociatic party with
having brought about the industrial dis
tress by the mistaken policy ot free
trade. Some free silverites seized the
opportunity to lay the blame for stagna
tion to the scarcity of money.
'Coming, as I do, from an iron-pro
ducing section of the country," Lam-
oreaux said, "I have no doubt but
that our people would favor free and un
limited coinage of iron at eome arbitrary
ratio, and there would be about as much
reason in such a demand as there is in
the demand for the free coinage of silver
at 1C to 1."

Atkins Is Not Dead.
Kkv Wet, Aug. 4. rearce Atkins,
the adventurous Evans'.on, 111., young
man, reported as killed by Spanish bul
lets while fighting for Cuban liberty, and
then again found 100 miles from the al
leged scene of his death, is alive.
Adjutant-General Velasct), a refugee
from Cuba, who was picked np the other
day drifting in the Gulf of Mexico in an
- open boat, says he was with the Evans-
ton boy a few da vs. and that after iheir
separation Atkins was in the command
captained by Juan Delgado, operating
near Havana.
Velasco saw Atkins last on the 13th of
July, but since that time Velasco has
been in the province of Pinar del Rio
from the coast of which he was forced by
royal salvation for himself. Velasco says
Atkins was without money. He put i no
credence in the story given publicity by
the Spanish press of Havana that the
young American is dead.

Lincoln, Neb., Ang, 4. When W. J
Bryan leaves for New York next Friday
evening he will carry with him a draft
of a speech that he intends to use be
fore the notification committee in Mad
ison Square Garden. He has devoted
considerable time to it already, but will
put a few finishing touches on it before
it can be declared complete, it will oc
cupy between an hour and an hour and
a half in delivery. It will discuss the
Chicago platform in detail and give his
interpretation thereof.
He is veiy indignant at the charge
that he and those who stand with him
on the Chicago platform aro to be classed
as anarchists, or aim to break down any
laws of the country. Jn his New York
speech ho will roundly denounce the
accusation. Thoso who have been taken
into his confidence say the Epeech will
astonish the country, as it contains a
number of new and pleasing metaphcrs
never before n;ed on any Btage, and
which have nothing in common with
crowns of thorns" or "crosses of gold."
It is understood that Richard P.
Bland will accompany Bryan to Now

Square and make a speech. It is said
that Bryan will make no set speeches
along the route, but will indulge in
formal talks to tho people from the rear

A Hot Fight
Havana, Aug. 3. A hot
is reported to have occurred between Gu-
ayamas and Melunes, in tie district of
Maczinill, in the provii.i-o of Santiago
de Cuba, in which the lo3 suffered by
the Spanish troops was exceedingly
heavy. The official report gives the
number of Spaniards as 100 pitted
against 1000 insurgents.
The official report further states that
Lieutenant Gonzales and Pintados, of
the Spanish forces, were killed, together
with 50 privates.
Colonel Marco has had a fiyht with
tlte band of Sauguilly on the plantation
of Condesa, province oi Matanza. The
insurgents lost 11 killed and took manv
ide arms. The trcous had two officers
and nine soldiers wounded.
The insnrgents have burned the plan
tation of San Jofqnin, at Abanose, in
Matanzas, causing a damage estimated
at $400,000. The msurzent nanus are
concentrating near the southern portion
of the trocha, and it is reported that
they intend to attack it before long.
Stage Robbed.
Or.Etiox City, Aug. 3. An excited
messenger came galloping into town this
evening with the news that the Wilhoit
stage, which left this city today neon had
been robbed, A dozen to 20 sho's were
fired, two horses were killed and the
pockets and bjggage of the passengers
rilled. It is not known how much prop
ertv was taken. The robbers were in
terrupted in their work by two farcers,
who exchanged several shots with them
and drove them into the woods.
No description of them is given except
that they are both tall, roughly dressed
and apparently young men. Their
cloth masks prevented a view of their
features. The hold-up took place about
4 o'clock this afternoon, and the pursuit
of the thieves was so prompt thai it is
thought their chances of escape are slim
The stace continued on to Wilhoit. The
horses that were killed telonged to Liv
eryman Noblitt, and were valued at $00,
Last season tbe same stage was held
up twice not far from the spat where to
day's robbery occurred. No shots were
then tired and tbe amount of the plunder
wa3 small. The affairs then were con.
ducted similarly to that of today, except
that one man did the work then

Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed, when the languid exhausted
feeling preyails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of tonic and
alterative is felt. A prompt use of this
medicine has often averted Jong and per
hapa fatal bilious levers. No medicine
will act more surety in -counteracting and
freeing the system from the 'toalarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Consti
pation, Dizziness yield to Electric Bit
