Free Silver Democrats.
Omaha, June 21. There were 1000
delegates in the democratic conference
which opened today for the purpose of
organizing a state free coinage league.
After the election of W. R. Thompson,
of Grand Island, as permanent chair
man, and J. H. Galvin of Atchison as
secretary, :;tid the appointment of a
committee on resolutions, the conference
adjourned until evening. The report of
the committee was as follows:
"We send greeting to our fellow
democrats of Nebraska, and invite their
earnest co-operation and aid in electing
delegates from every county in the state
to the democratic state convention of
1894 pledged to vote for the insertion
me democratic state platform of inn
following plank: 1
"We favor the immediate restoration
of the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the present ratio of 16 to 1,
without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation on earth.' .
" In the effort to obtain a fair expres
sion of democratic sentiment, we urge
upon every democrat who believes in
the principle herein enunciated, to par
ticipate actively and vigorously in the
selection of delegates to the state con
vention. We recommend that in every
county of the state the democrats who
oppose this proposed, plank be invited
to a thorough discussion of its merits
to end that the democratic party may
act intelligently and harmoniously upon
this great question.
"We propose that this contest shall
be fought out upon clean lines, and
with intelligent methods, but, confident
in the correctness of our position, we
also propose that the fight ' shall be
vigorous, and that no effort shall be
spared to place in the platform 6f the
, democratic party the same emphasis,
the same unmistakable utterance con
cerning the great questson of finance,
that has been lastingly imprinted upon
onr party platforms concerning the
great question of tariff reform."
' Supposed Wheat Pest.
The larmer of Douglass county are at
present considerably exercised over the
appearance of a very small green insect
upon the wheat. A close inspection of
ine neaas snows them to be very numer
ous between the rows of grain, and it is
feared they are some species of destruc
tive pest. They were first discovered on
, the lower Calapooia, but seem to be
general over the county, and samples of
infected heads were left at the Boseburg
Review office Saturday from Looking
GlaBB, and also from fields up the river
east of town. As nothing of the kjnd
was ever seen in the county before, the
farmers are naturally very anxious to
know just what the result will be, and
what the little visitors propose to do.
Some think them harmless and believe
they will soon disappear without doing
any damage. A. E. McGee, of Looking
Glass, however, says that he is sure
they are the eame kind that he saw in
Indiana in 1889, where they were known
as the "wheat aphis," and totally de
stroyed thousands of acres or grain,
rendering it unfit even for hay. We
can only hope, that he is mistaken
otherwise the loss to the farmers may
be very heavy. Possibly the unusnal
amount of rain at this season of the
year is responsible for the appearance of
this insect. '
A Lineman Killed.
i Rochester, N. Y., Jnne 21. Stephen
Kirk, a lineman employed by the Bell
Telephone Company, was working on a
telephone line over which there was a
network' of telephone, electric light, tel
egraph and street car trolley wires. A
fellow workman let the wire on which
Kirk was working sag too much and it

touched the trolly wires. Kirk, who
was grasping it, received the full force
of the current from the trolly wires.
Agonized screams broke from the man's
lips as he endeavored to free himself
from the wire. He struggled a moment,
then toppled over, and was caught by
the heels. The current was so strong
that it held him fast to the wire almost
by the heels. He hung head downwards
fully five minutes, until his fellow work
man located the wire among the net
work and cut it. The body was secured
by ropes and lowered to the ground.
Contrary to expectations of all who saw
the accident, Kirk was alive when be
reached tne greund. He was placed in
an ambulance, but died before the
hospital was reached.
The Report. Submitted.
Washington, June '21. When the
tariff debate in the senate was concluded
for the day the reports from the investi
gating committee occasioned considera
ble debate. Hill entered a motion not
to receive the report. He contended
that a minority report , having been
made as to the material character of the
questions asked Hayemeyer, Searlea and
McCartney, it was within the jurisdic
tion of the senate to decide whether the
questions were material before having
these witnesses certified under the stat
ute as contumacious. Davis, a member
of this committee, thought that since
the newspaper men had been certified
to the district attorney, the sugar mag
nates should be treated in the same
way. The question was left undecided,
and the senate at 6 o'clock went into
executive, season, and then soon ad'
journed. .
The Texan Populist..
WAcoTex., June 21. The populists
nominated John L. Nugent, of Fort
Worth for governor. The platform ad
vocates the abolition of all private banks ;
the construction, ownership and opera
tion of railways by the government ; the
government ownership and operation of
ail telegraph and telephone lines ; the
free and unlimited coinage of gold and
sdver upon a ratio of 16 to 1 ; the issu
ance by the government of legal tender
paper money and condemns the issue of
gold bonds in times of peace to meet the
current expenses of the government.
They Corroborated the Senator.
Washington, June 21. The sugar
trust investigation committee held a
brief session today and examined Geo.
Ransom, son of Senator Ransom, and
clerk of the senate committee on com
merce, in regard to their purchases of
sugar stock. Their statements were
corroborative of that made by Senator
Ransom when he was before the investi
gating committee.
