Sketch of Nominee.
James Kilbourne, democratic candi¬
date for governor of Ohio, was born
in Columbus .n 1841, graduated at Ken¬
yon before the civil war, ana at Har¬
vard law school after the war, enlist-
eu as a private and became a colonel.
He is president of the Ohio Centennial
commission, tile Columbus board of
trade, public library. Children’s home,
Guild Associated Charities, director of
banks and railways, vice president of
the army of Tennessee, and a mem¬
ber of other military organizations. He
has never held public office and has
never been a candidate until two years
ago when he was defeated for the gu¬
bernatorial nomination by John R. Mc¬
Lean.. His father formerly represent¬
ed the Columbus district in congress
and has grandfather was one of the
earliest settlers of Columbus.
Convention Was Anti-Bryan.
In the alleged stampede ' for princi¬
ples rather than men,” the most strik¬
ing turn of the convention was on Bry¬
an. The most bitter things were said
of his leadership in the committee on
resolutions where it was insisted that
his name should not be mentioned, and
that there should be no references to
either of the national platforms on
which he made bis campaigns. After
this plan had been agreed upon, one of
the twenty-one members of that com¬
mittee offered a minority report, reaf¬
firming the Kansas City platform and
expressing confidence in Bryan, and he
received only six vites out of 950 dele¬
gates on his substitute for the platform
preamble.
A few moments after the platform
was adopted one of these six delegates
called attention to the fact that pic¬
tures of other democrats were dis¬
played in the hall and none of Bryan,
as heretofore. He started to carry a
small banner with Bryan’s picture on
it to the platform. The aisles were or¬
dered cleared and the picture did not
reach its destination. It was trampled
under foot and spoiled during the wild
demonstration when Kilbourne was es¬
corted into the hall. Whi’e It is gen¬
erally believed that the marching
clubs did not know they were walking
over Bryan’s picture, yet there was
much comment after the convention
that the picture was not treated worse
than had been the old standard bearer
himself by the committee on resolu¬
tions and the convention.
TURK PAYS UP.
Long Delayed indemnity Owed
By the Sultan Is Paid
at Last.
The state department has received
the amount oi the American Indemnity
claim against Turkey, |95,000, through
the American legation at (jonstantino-
pie.
As is always the case, the claims in
the aggregate considerably exceed the
amount of the indemnity actually paid,
but our government has expressed it¬
self satisfied with the payment. It as¬
sumes full responsibility for the dis¬
tribution, the Turkish government
leaving it to the state department to
distribute me money among the claim¬
ants at its discretion and after its own
fashion.
These claims are principally based
upon losses sustained by American
missionary and educationa- institu.
tlons in Turkey, notab.y those at Har-
poot and Marash, but there are a num¬
ber of individual claims, such, for in¬
stance, as that of the family of the
unfortunate bicyclist, Lentz, tne Pitts¬
burg man, who was killed by a Turkish
soldier while attempting to go around
the globe on his wheel.
The state department officials feel
the greatest satisfaction at the settle¬
ment of cuese claims. Secretary Hay,
has been told by diplomats su.lled in
Oriental diplomacy and in the political
conditions of southern Europe that he
never would be able to collect them.
DOHIEITES DRENCHED.
Zionist Deciples Routed Ry Eire Hose
at Evanston, Ill.
About two hundred followers of John
Alexander Dowie made another at¬
tempt to convert the citizens of Evans¬
ton, Ill., Wednesday night and failed
as on former occasions.
A mob of over one thousand soon
formed and began work. Mayor Bates,
of Evanston i seeing that unless some¬
thing was done quickly people would
be seriously hurt and poss.-ny killed,
ordered out a fire engine. The steam¬
er at once turned a four-inca stream
on the Dowieites and they went over
like ten pins. Women, as well as men.
were thrown down by the stream and
sent rolling in the mud. The people of
Evanston danced and hooted with de¬
light as the firemen steadily advanced,
driving the Dowieites before them in
utter rout. The work was done with
impartiality, and whatsoever Dowieites
was dilatory in movement was washed
along by the four-inch stream.
LAST OF THE LINE.
Mrs. Patterson, Daughter ofExPresi*
dent Johnson, Passes Away.
Mrs. Martha Patterson, daughter of
ex-President Andrew Johnson, died
Wednesday morning at Greenville,
Tenn.
The death of Mrs. Patterson remov¬
ed from earth the last of the lineal de¬
scendants of Andrew Johnson, the man
who rose from an humble village tailor
to the presidency, and also a woman
who reigned in the white house as
"first lady of the land” during the
country’s most stormy period. She
was eighty-three years of age, and was
one of the most noted figures of the
post-bellum days when the destiny of
the southland was being shaped.
TO REAPPOINT RUCKER.
Collored Internal Revenue Collector
at Atlanta, Ga., May Be Retained.
A Washington dispatch says: All
the Indications at this end of the line
tend to confirm the impression so of¬
ten expressed by friends of Internal
Revenue Collector Rucker at Atlanta,
Ga., that he will be reappointed to suc¬
ceed himseif. His four years’ term of
office is about to expire, and in .he
meantime his political sponsors in
Georgia and elsewhere have filed with
the president and the secretary of the
treasury strong appeals for his reap¬
pointment.
After Four Thousand Ballots.
Dudley Wooten, of Dallas, Tex., was
nominated Wednesday by the democ-
erats of the sixth congressional dis¬
trict for the seat in congress made va¬
cant by the death of Judge R. E.
Burke. The convention was in ses¬
sion for a week and his nomination
was made on the 4,046th ballot.
GIRL ACCUSED OF FORGERY.
In Male Attire Ellis Glenn Faecs Jury
at Parkersburg, W. Va.
The third day of the trial of Ellis
Glenn, masquerader In male attire,
charged with forgery began at Parkers¬
burg, W. Va., Wednesday. Every legal
point is being bitterly fought, and it
may take weeks to try the case, as
there are over one hundred witnesses
to examine. Judge Stapleton made a
ruling that Ellis will have to sit dur¬
ing the remainder of the trial with her
hat and veil removed from her head
and face. That pleased the crowded
court room, as they have been desirous
of seeing her.
RUSSIA OFFERS
TO BACK DOWN
Makes Proposition to Call
Off Tariff War.
THE MOVE COMES TOO LATE
Secretary Gage Notifies Minister
DeWitte That the flatter Is
Now In Court.
A Washington special says: An¬
other important exchange has occur¬
red between the Russian government
and the United States relative to the
tariff. The Russian minister of fi¬
nance, M. De Witte, has proposed that
Russia will vacate all of the additional
duties levied on American goods since
the imposition of the sugar differential
if the United States will vacate its ac¬
tion on the sugar differential. To this
Secretary Gage has replied that the
offer of the Russian government can¬
not be accepted, as the question of the
sugar differential is now in the hands
of the court, thus precluding action by
the executive branch.
The proposition of the Russian min¬
ister of finance was the result of Sec¬
retary Hay’s note of about two weeks
ago. In that note Mr. Hay pointed out
that the action taken as to petroleum
was not new, nor was it meant to have
any connection with the previous ac¬
tion of the government on sugar. This
appears to have confirmed Russian of¬
ficials in their view that the petroleum
order was only another step in the
policy preriously taken respecting su-
gar.
M. De Witt’s response is not long,
hut is quite to the point. It makes no
further issues as to the petroleum or¬
der. The chief attention is given to
sugar and the specific offer is made
to vacate immediately the increased
duties which Russia has levied if the
United States will vacate its action on
sugar. This w r ould amount to re-estab¬
lishing the status quo which existed
before the United States took its ini¬
tial action relative to Russia.
The Russian proposition was com¬
municated to Secretary Gage, who re¬
sponded promptly that as the sugar
question is now before the courts it is
not possible for him to avail himself of
the Russian suggestions, bnus the
matter stands.
The reductions which would have
resulted under M. De Witt’s tender
are those affecting cast iron wares,
manufactures of iron and steel, boiler
work, tools for artists, factories and
workshops, gas and water meters, mo¬
tors and dynamos, sewing machines,
portable engines, not including thresh¬
ing machines, fire engines and other
machinery of iron and steei, also white
rosin, galipot, breWers’ pitch and bi¬
cycles.
DEADLY DUEL IN’ FLORIDA.
Farmer and Son-In-Law Use Shot
Guns With Disastrous Results.
News conies from Plant City, Fla.,
that a fatal duel with shotguns was
fought near that place Monday after¬
noon and that as a result Edward
Franklin, a farmer, Is dead and David
Kinard, Franklin’s son in law; Mrs.
canard and their baby are seriously
wounded.
Franklin, it is alleged, had employed
a farm nand to do some plowing, for
which he was to receive 700 strawber¬
ry plants. The work having been fin¬
ished Franklin gave an order on Kin¬
ard for the plants, who refused to fill
it. This was reported to l'Tanklin. who
immediately armed himself with a
shotgun and went to the Kinard home.
Arriving there he immediately opened
fire, it is said, on his son in law, miss¬
ing him, but striking and seriously
wounding his daughter and grandchild.
Kinard ran for his gun and returned
the fire. Another volley was fired at
each other, Franklin falling dead and
Kinard being seriously wounded.
Evans’ Good Management.
The report of the commissioner of
pensions for the fiscal year just ended
will show that the commissioner will
turn back into the treasury $5,000,000
as unexpended balance of the amount
appropriated to pensions. The total
appropriation made by congress was
$140,000,000.

Fatalities of Horrible Railway Acci¬
dent In Kaiisas Increase.

tims of Wednesday’s collision on the

cumbed to their Injuries, making a to¬
tal dead of 20. Mrs. J. A. Adsit, wife
