Bryan concluded his lilinoiso campaign at .loliot ?>n Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. Ho began at (^Hiinoy at 8 o'clock and niado sixteen during the day. The audiences wero generally large, but those at Pooria, Q limy and .Jolict wore especially so. Tho meet ing at Joliot was held in tho court houeo grounds before an immense crowd. The Bryan train did not arrive until 10 o'clock. Afior the meeting Mr. Bryan left for Chicago. SI'EAKS AT OUlNor, All the members of tho Bryan party were sleeping boundly when 0AO o'clock tho truin pulled into (jaiuoy. They were not, however, permuted to continue their slumbers long, owing to tho calls of the orowd for Bryan and the boating oo tho windows. Mr. Bryan hastily donuid his clothes, drank a oup of coffee and was escorted to a oarriago for tho long drive to Washington park, where, notwithstanding tho early hour, thero was a throng of waiting poople, many of whom had been staodiug in tho ohilly air suec daylight. Mr. Bryan spoke on the general issue of tho campaign, saying that to largo a orowd at so early an hour of tho day indicated that tho p oplo woro interested in themselves rather than in hiiu. Mr. Bryan refined to au editorial on the pension (tUOB'ioo which appeared in an Omaha newspaper with which ho was foiincrly eoouootod* Ho sa d that the editorial rolerred to was printed long beforo ho was conntctcd with tho paper. 'A ct. 1 doubt fcot," ho said, "that every old soldier will receive a letter in which it will ho stated that 1 am the author of tho editorial." "1 havo already rooeived one," shouted an old soldier in the crowd. 4 L am not stii prised," said Mr. Bryan. 4T know that they have misrepresented everything that could he misrepresent ed. Today they have not tho loast hopo of carrying this election unless they have a bigger campaign fund than thoy have ever had before, and they can coerce every voter t hat can bo coerced. He paid especial attention to farmers saying that even though thcro had bcon advance in the pttoo of some farm products, the increaso in price of artiolos ot consumption had boon so muoh greater as to far moro than neutralize the advance in fi.rm commodities. Taking up the stutcment that money from this country is being loaned in Europe, ho aske<': "Why don't they buy Amerioan lands instead of sending their burpluso money bbroad?" And then replied to his own quostion by saying that tho only reply that could bo made was that tho Republieon policy was roduoing \b. : s. A private individual could not put his m >ney in manufacturing enterprises for fear that his ooncern would bo sold to a trust and that ho would bo squeezed out. lie declared that it is his desiro to dostroy all private monoply bcoauso ho dots not want tr? HO.I thfi dnr.ra rwf portuoity closed against tho boys of the country. "Give the boys a ehaneo," ho Raid, "give him an opportunity to exert his own industry and his own ability and ho will make his own way, for wo have tho best boys in the world." \VH 'I II E SPEAKS. In speaking at Carthago Mr. Bryan took coginzanco of the criticisms of his personal participation in tho campaign saying: "I have been criticised for going boforo the people, as a presidential oandidato, and discussing the questions boforo tho people. According to my understanding of politios the cit izen is tho sov< rign and tho oflioo-holdcr is tho servant of the peoplo and tho citizens havo a right to know what the oanuidatcs think of public questions. Thoy havo a right to oomo in oontaot with their publio ofhoials and if a oandidato losos votes because tho people got acquainted with him, ho ought not to complain, for it is bottor to find them out before tho eleotioQ than aftorwards, if ho is bad. Tho right to participate in the government is one of inalienable rights, a light that you Ropbblicans recognized when Lincoln wai your leader and a right that you nevor rcpudiaiod until you foil from Lincoln down to Ilanna. '"Ifyou hear tl st I am in favor of imperialism Just booauso it is a good issue to get vol08. 1 want vnu in r?. member that on the 14 ih of Jano, 1899, when your papers buid everybody wanttod expansion i protoatod against imperlalisn). At that timo Dotnooratio friends jne my oourso would bo unpopular but my answor was that when the Deolaraiion of Indopondenco was repealed 1 would be out of politios and it did not make any particular difIferenoo about the timo of my going out." wiiy he don't hide free. Mr. Bryan took oooassion at Peoria to answer the < hargo that hois being paid for his speeches, in part ho said: 4 1 am not as rich a man as you would imagine from reading the Republican papers. 1 find it diffoult to rceonoilo their statements about my .financial condition. Ooo timo they i rbay 1 am so an bilious that 1 will not make a specoh unless 1 am paid for it. 1 notice a criticism in tho papers that tho people of the towns through whioh f L.. \ oar traiu passes havo contributed to the expenses 11 the train ami it was sag grHtcd that was for my benefit.

I would a great deal rather have Republicans oriticiso me because people along tho road pay tho cxponses for the triin thvi to receive free rides from the railroad companies and have corporations run mo if oicotod, because they furnishod tho trains " HEAD END COLLISION. A Most Realistic and Thrilling Spectacle iii Midair. Columbia, October 13.?Special: Arrangements have been completed by tho fair association for Rain's grand fireworks display during tho Stato fair. Tho ' Storming of the Taku Forts" and a "Head HJnd Oollission" between two aerial railroad engines ou three nights, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, O ?t. 30th, 3lst and Nov. 1st, arc tlie attra"tiors offered t.h;s year. They will tako plaoo at tho same locality as used formerly in tho rear of tho lair grounds and to aooommoda'.o tho crowd tho hour has been set at 6.3} p. in , as tho display will last about one hour and a half and the railroads can easily arrango to hold their trains until 8 30 p. m , allowing visitors to witness this grand production and roturn the same day. Rain's pcoplo havo a reputation on threo continents to sustain and they will not aoocpt any oontraot that limits their idea of tho grand and tho boautiful. Rain's nauio is a guarantee that they will be all that can bo obtained out of powder and pyroteohdnios. It has cost big money to scouro this attraction and Rain says ho will give the pcoplo a display to rouiouibor. i n mo storming ot tho Taku Forts, soldiers to roprcsont all tho ailiod forces, will tako part and tho scene prosooted is both ploasing and exciting. Pain will give for tho first tiuio in Amorioa a railway headend collision in firoworks. This is said to bo tho most realistic thing of tho kind over attempted. It consists of two iuimenso loooraotivcB, built entirely of tiroworks, and those engines aficr operating over a broad gaugo track of about a mile, dashing together with terrific foroc and effect?an awful explosion, but at tho same time a most beautiful Boone. Pain will sond not less than 50 trained men to arrange tho production and they are expected to arrivo the latter part of this week. All will be arranged iu ample time. It is expected that quite a largo number of tho visiting militia will tako part in the show, and if possible a sham battle by sight will bo added. Arrangements havo been afl'coted to seat ton thousand spectators and amplo accommodation will be givon by our new strcot car lino for quick tran-portation to and from tho grounds. A Serious Fight Tho second fatal clash botweon strikers and nonunion men oocurcd Wednesday at Oneida oolliory, Sohuylkill county, Pa., when a ooal aud iron policeman was shot and instantly killod and another policeman and a striker woro daogcrously wounded. In addition about a dozen of tho omployos cf tho colliory were stoned and badly injured by tho strikora.

Tho troublo began at 1 o'olook and reached a climax whon tho marohing minors, mostly Hungarians, attaokod tho nion on tho way to work in tho Onoida colliory. Tho marohcrs nuuiborcd 300 mon, woman and boys. Stance woro thrown and tho ooal and iron policeman, who cndcavorod to protoot thoso on tho way to work, woro forced to soek shelter. No shots woro firtd at this tinio and tho marohors disappoarod. Tho scoond clash was the result of an attompt on tho part of tho oompany to move a train of ooal oars. Tho ongino was surroundod by men and womon who stoned tho onginocr. Supcrintondont Kudliok romonstratod with tho orowd but to no purpose. Persistant attomps woro made to run tho train and tho mon made a concerted rush upon tho guards who aro said to havo run.

Tlio court 100m was ^ crowded at tho time and the oxoitomont ( was intense. I). K, Annstrnne, tho t houisvillo deteotive, had j ist told of tiis ' talks with Youtfloy boforc and after his s arrest. Then Arthur Goobol was put put on tlio stand and .Judge Ben \Vil 1 liatns, who for the first tjim appeared fc for the prosecution, did the questioning. k Arthur Goehol said: "I talked with * Youtsoy tho day he was arrested lato * in the afternoon in tho jail iu frank S fort in r foro ?oo to the murder of my ' brother " 1 Just at this point Youtsoy arose he- ( hind his attorneys in a loud voice and 1 said: "It is uutruo; it is u lie; I nover \ spoko a word to that man iu my life norhctonie." ' Golonol Crawford told him to be quiet ^ and sit down and others took hold of ( him. "1 will not sit down. I nover said a word to that man?it is untrue." He was shouting by this time and every r one was becoming excited. Youisey's f wifo sprang to Ins side and while en- i delivering to make him sit down could I bo hoard saying: "Now you havo kill- t od my husband I suppose you are bat- 1 infied " .. I Then Youtsoy historically shouted r again: f '*1 am innocent. There is no blood j on my hands tlicso men aro swearing g my life away." t Two or throe deputies went over and e grabbed him. Ilo struggled wildly and f said: "Let mo alone-I will not sit c down " Arthur Goobel moanwhilo sat 1 sphinx-like in the witness chair and i never turnod his head. Finally after a Youtsev was forced into u boat he v shouted again: t 4 Goobel is not dead?all tho demons in hell oould not kill him." 4,Mr. Shorilf, if tho defendant does not behave himself put handoulFs on r him," said Judge (hintrill. 1 Meanwhile tho audionoo oould not he j forced to koep their scats until tho a judgo threatened to fine those who stood up. Youtsoy Bottled hack in his ? ohair, oloscd his oyes and seemed in a ^ state of collapse Ilo waved his hand. v kerohiof above his hoad in an aimless sort of way and groaned and oried 0 hystcrioallv. Finally quiot was restor- a cd and Judgo Williams asked Arthur j< Goobol another question when Golonol 8 Crawford asked a postponement of tho H trial until tomorrow on account of tho 8 defendant's condition. Judge Cantrill | said he could sco no oauso or reason for tho defendant's outbreak, hut in justico to his attorneys ho would post pond tho oaso. Mr. Franklin said tho commonwealth had not tho slightest obj motion 6 to adjourning and court adjourned. Youtsoy still occupied his ohair with f his &yos closed, apparently in a half J faint og condition. Aftor the crowd . passed out Jailor Heed and deputies oarried Youtsoy to tho jail as ho was ) unablo to walk. Various reasons aro assigned for his outbreak, tho first ho- ( iug that )uh long confinement and j strain of tho trial caused hiun to booouio hysterical and loso control of him- 1 solf. Another is that he really do- 1 montod as shown by his romark that Goobol was not dead. Ho is being attonded by physioians and relativos at tho jail and his condition is docmod ' critical.
