Kansas City, July 7. Practical fusion
between the Democratic and Populist
parties on the presidential ticket has
been decided upon by the Populist na
tional committee. Unless present plans
are changed, however, the Democratic
vice presidential candidate will not be
endorsed whether or not Charles A.
Towne decides to withdraw his name
as the candidate of the Populist party,
as this, it is feared, would result in a
large deflection to the middle of the
road Populists. Charles A. Towne will
leave for home late this afternoon and
will stop over at Lincoln at the invita
tion of W. J. Bryan. The whole situa
tion will be thoroughly discussed and
upon Mr. Bryan's views on the matter
will depend in a large measure Mr.
Towne's decision in regard to the vice
presidency. He will not announce his
decision until he has also had confer
ences' with other leaders in both the
Democratic and Populist parties and
until he does communicate with the
Populist national committee, which will
not be for several days at least, that
body will take no further action. In
case Mr. Towne decides to withdraw his
name as the vice presidential candidate
of the People's party the national com
mittee will select another candidate.
The sentiment apparently is against the
endorsement of Mr. Stevenson, on ac
count of the peculiar conditions existing
in several of the western states, notably
Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota,
where the Populist vote is larger tha
the Democratic and where the Populist
leaders fear the straight endorsement of
the Democratic ticket would Jeopardize
the success of the ticket.
But the parties will work together in
this way: In the states where the Pop
ulist strength is the greater, the under
standing will be that the electors or
both tickets will favor Bryan and
Towne. This will apply especially to
the western states. In the eastern
states and in other sections where the
Populists themselves admit their party
is distasteful to the Democrats, the elec
toral tickets will be fof Bryan and
Stevenson.
In the electoral college, according to
the general plan as outlined it is the
intention to unite the vote probably on
Mr. Stevenson. This general plan was
outlined at the meeting of the Populist
national committee, which was held last
night at the close of the meeting be
tween the conference committees of the
Democratic, Populist and Silver Repub
lican parties, and which adjourned early
today after a protracted debate.
"The whole Idea is to concentrate our
forces and work for the success of W.
J. Bryan," said former Congressman
Ridgley of Kansas, today. "The Dem
ocratic platform and ticket is satisfac
tory to us, but peculiar conditions ex
ist in many of the states where our
strength Is the greatest, and we con
sider it advisable to have a complete
Populist ticket in the field, as in this
way we can hold out" forces."
HELPS THE MARKET.
Free Silver Plank Regarded as Assur
ing SffcKinley's Election, by
Wall Street
New York, July 7. Bradstreet's fin
ancial review says:
Although activity has been of the re
stricted kind, suitable to the summer
season, and though speculation still has
almost entirely a professional origin the
past week has witnessed both a strong
and an interesting market. In fact, its
strength in the face of dullness and of
adverse political developments at home
and abroad has been somewhat remark
able. The Chinese situation involving
danger to the Kuropean markets, with
the possibility of future international
complications, brought free selling of
stocks here for account of Berlin, and to
some extent for London. These offer
ings, were however, readily absorbed,
and Wall street was apparently indis
posed to borrow trouble by looking too
far ahead in connection with China.
The adoption by the Kansas City con
vention of a free silver plank without
modification of the 16 to 1 principle, was
also apparently disregarded or it might
be said that the market was inclined to
a belief that this action renders the out
look in the national campaign that is
now beginning more certain than if
the Chicago platform of four years ago
had been modified in its financial sec
tions. Conservative people, of course
give due weight to the uncertainties
that are liable to develop in connection
with domestic politics and there is in
such quarters, recognition of the dan
gers that are involved in China.
This seems to have brought back
many large financial interests but on
the other hand, money is easy and the
enormous disbursements on income on
July 1 have brought a large supply of
funds into the stock for reinvestment.
Although scattered, the buying of divi
dend paying stocks has been large and
persistent, and commission houses re
port a considerable demand of that
kind, which of course, reduces the float
ing supply.
The fact that rains have improved the
wheat situation in the northwest and
have caused expectations of half a crop
to replace the estimate of a total fail
ure of the spring wheat yield in three
important states also helped the mar
ket, and caused covering of shorts
throughout the list. The belief that a
change for the better is at hand in the
iron trade, also had a good effect on the
industrials. In the railroads the an
thracite group was the active feature
of the week, with sharp advances in
several of its members, giving rise to
the idea that some important deal, in
volving trunk line interests, is in pros
pect. Call on the Banks.
Washington, July 7. Mr. Dawes, the
comptroller of the currency, has issued
a call for reports of the condition of na

HOW IT HAPPENED.
J. G. Johnson Explains Stevenson's
N omination to Populist.
Kansas City, Ma, July 7. A pro
tracted meeting of the conference com
mittees of the Democratic, Populist and
Silver Republican parties was held at
Lyceum hall last night, at which the
vice presidential situation was dis
cussed, with a view to bringing about,
if possible, an agreement between the
three parties. The members of the
Democratic committee urged the Pop
ulist and Silver Republican representa
tives to use their influence in uniting
their parties in support of Bryan and
Stevenson.
"The Democrats all over the country,"
said Committeeman Johnson, turning
to the Populists, "know that Mr.
Bryan Is your kind of a man. If the
two parties were to unite, and factions
arose, every Democrat knows that Mr.
Bryan would be found with your party.
Democrats felt that the nomination of
Mr. Bryan was in deference to the more
radical reform element of the party,
and that a selection should be made for
vice president to hold the conservatives.
This brought about Mr. Stevenson's
nomination. There never was a time
that Mr. Towne had a show of success."
It was finally decided to hold a con
ference later between the Democratic
committee and sub-committees from
the Populist and Silver Republicans,
the result to be reported to the full
committees of the two latter parties for
their approval.
STEPHENS WAS TIRED
Says He Gave TJp Because Work Was
Not Appreciated.
Edward Stephens denies that he was
requested to hand in his resignation as
the superintendent of the Colored In
dustrial school.
In speaking to a reporter In regard
to the matter, Mr. Stephens said: "Sev
eral months ago my wife and I con
sulted Mr. J. B, Larimer, who is vice
president of the institute board of trus
tees, and told him and other members
of the board of our determination to
abandon the work which we founded
and established, because of the unap
preciative feeling of the people for
whom the work was begun. The re
linquishment of the institute was en
tirely voluntary on my part. I was not
voted in by a board, and in consequence
could not have been voted out by a
board. The fact is, I appointed the
board myself. Two others and myself
are the owners of the Institute."
Continuing, he said: "I gave up the
work because of my disgust at the lack
of interest shown. I will continue to
live in the building used by the insti
tute until the house I am building on
my farm south of town is completed."
News From Whalers Belayed.
San Francisco, July 7. News of the
whaling fleet which spent the winter in
the ice is being anxiously awaited in
this city. Heretofore the result of the
winter's work, the condition of the men
and vessels have always been known
here during the month of June. For
many seasons the mail was brought by
Captain Hoffman,, who now commands
the schooner Penelope, and it may be
that whoever undertook to succeed him
Las a mail carrier has succumbed to the

JONES RE-ELECTED.
Arkansas Senator Made Chairman of
National Committee.
Kansas City, Mo., July 7. The na
tional committee of the Democratic
party met at the Kansas City club after
the adjournment of the convention and
immediately organized. Senator Jones,
who was not a member of the commit
tee, remained Outside until the prelim
inaries were over. Thomas Taggart of
Indiana, who has been mentioned as a
possible chairman, nominated Senator
Jones for chairman and he received the
unanimous vote.
The senator was sent for, and in ac
cepting the chairmanship, said that the
committee .entered the campaign in
much better shape than our years ago.
Then the members were all new and un
tried in party affairs, which had been
in the hands of men who were over
thrown in the great issues dominating
the 1S96 convention. Now they had a
complete organization and were ready
to go ahead and make the best fight
possible. He complimented the action
of the convention both as to platform
and the candidates.
The matter of selecting the executive
committee was left to Chairman Jones,
who will make the appointments after
he has had time for consideration. It
is understood that many of the members
of the last committee will be chosen.
A committee consisting of Tillman of
South Carolina, Johnson of Indiana.
Williams of Massachusetts, Osborne of
Wyoming and Wilson of Idaho, was
appointed to confer with representatives
of the Populist and Silver Republican
parties as to the best plan of campaign.
A delegation from Columbus present
ed the claims of that city as headquar
ters for the campaign. The matter was
referred to the executive committee, but
Senator Jones told the delegation that
the city which presented the best facil
ities for carrying on the campaign
would be selected, whether the commit
tee liked the city or not.

A CALIFORNIAN'S
Successful Experience With Food.
A gentleman in Oak Park, Calif., Hen
ryPoekman, took up the question of
food, to see if he could recover from an
old case of dyspepsia, from which nu;t
vomica, pepsin, and other remedies gave
him no relief.
He started in with Grape-Nuts break
fast food and his dyspepsia quickly dis
appeared. He also left off the use of
coffee and took Postum Food Coffee in
its place. He writes that he has been
put right, perfectly well, and going to
remain so by continuing the use of the
Grape-Nuts food and Postum Coffee.
It is worth anyone's trial, who desires
to be w ell, to change the diet, and par
ticularly to leave off coffee. Grape-Nuts
food contains elements that rebuild the
grey matter in the nerve centers and
brain and give one a feeling of reserve
strength and vigor. This food it perfect
ly cooked at the factory, can be served
instantly, and is on sale at all first-class
grocers.

idence that the fire is believed to be

HOLLO WAT SAW WILHITE.
Missing Emporia Boy Was Seen at
Throop Hotel.
James Holloway, the engineer at the
Throop hotel, reported to the police last
night that Lewis Wilhite, the missing
Emporia boy, had been at the hotel at
about 1 o'clock Friday morning. Hollo
way read the item in Friday evening's
State Journal, describing the boy, and at
once recalled the boy who had been at
the hotel early in the morning. He said
the boy was bareheaded and acted queer
ly. The boy said to Holloway,- "There i3
something the matter with me where
am I." Holloway gave him a cap and af
ter a time Wilhite asked about the Rock
Island train, saying he was going to
Wichita. Nothing was seen of him after
that, at least nothing has been reported to
the police. It seems to be the general im
pression that Wilhite had been drinking in
Kansas City and was Intoxicated when he
got off the train here.
He Is a good industrious boy and has a
good name in Emporia, his home.
s Muir Glacier Breaking Up.
' Tacoma, Wn., July 7. The steamer
Queen from Alaska brings further news
of the presumed disintegration of the
famous Muir glacier. The sea in its vi

broken from the face of the glacier but
it was impossible to get near enough to
find out Just how badly damaged it is.
It is thought the gradual working of the
ice towards the sea will soon fill the
mouth of the former river completely.
This will create a new face on what re
