Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier
Journal, So Declares on His Visit in
Lincoln This Week.
(From the Lincoln News.)
Tor the last three month3, I have
accepted Mr. Bryan a3 the inevitable
candidate of the democratic party for
president. He will be nominated easily
on the first ballot. I expect to make
as earnest a fight through the cam
paign as ever in my life. There is and
will be no division in the democratic
party of Kentucky with Mr. Bryan as
the candidate. All factions of the party
there are for him."
CoJonel Henry Watterson, veteran
editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal,
Eave utterance to these remarks
just after arriving in Lincoln from
Chicago today. He came to see Wil
liam J. Bryan and talk over with him
matters of party interest. Colonel Wat
terson gave the newspaper man his
first time and attention after reaching
the Commoner office in company with
C. W. Brvan. Dr. P. L. Hall, who-is to
lomnrratic nation al committeeman for
Nebraska, and J. A. Maguire, probable state by 20,00 or 30,000 majority. Ken

noted Kentuckian was then taken out
to Fairview and will be a guest there
until Thursday afternoon, when he will
return home, going by way of St.
Louis.
Answering a question as to whether
or not Bryan is stronger this year than
when he a candidate for the presi-
dency in lS'Jfi cr li'00. Colonel Watter-
son said:
"In my judgement, he will be. He t
will go to the polls in November, . tor
the first time, with a united party be
hind him. How much support he
will get from sources outside the party
remains to be seen. Bt I believe he is
stronger in every way than before. The
outcome will depend on the way the
campaign shapes itself.
Col. Watterson would not make any j
forcast of the result, either on the j
assumption that Taft will be ncmi
nated against Bryan or on any other J
basis. He said that nothing was cer- j
tain beyona the nomination of the two :
men, but that democrats had as much ,
A WILD RIDE
IN THE NIGHT
Train Runs Seven Miles With No
One at Throttle.
The following special from Omaha,
gives an account of a wild ride over on
the K. C. road last Monday morning:
Plunging around sharp curves, through
cuts and across bridges at forty miles
an hour without an engineer in the cab,
Burlington train No. 23, St. Joseph to
Omaha, ran a wild course of seven
miles Monday morning just the other
side of Henton's which is twelve miles
from Council Bluffs. Engineer E. Star
ling had fallen from his cab and lay un
conscious by the side of the tracks.
Fireman C. A. Jackson did not know
that the engine was running wild.
Several sharp curves were taken with
undiminished speed and when there
was no whistle as the train dashed
through Henton's the fireman looked
over to the right side of the cab and
was horrified to find it empty.
He leaped to the throttle lever and
shut. off the steam, applied the air
brakes and brought the train to a
standstilL Conductor R. Heaton hur
ried forward.
The mystery of the engineer's dis
appearance was unexplained. He had,
of course, been in his place and started
ths train at the last stop. So he must
have fallen from the train while it was
running at full speed.
Fireman .Jackson backed the train
slowly and a close watch was kept for
the body of the engineer. He was
found at the end of seven miles, un
conscious and bleeding. He was taken
aboard tie train and on to Council
Bluffs, where Dr. J. H. Cole dressed
his wounds which consisted of contu
sions and wounds on the head and a

reason as republicans to hope for
victory.
"I am not here to urge the inclusion
of any special planks in the national
platform," declared the famous editor.
"I am like the fellow who was asked
about ghosts. He replied that he had
seen too many of them '-.to have much
faith in them. I did not come, either,
to discuss any particular subjects with
ftr, Bryan. We have talked matters
over before and had some correspon
dence. I happened to be" at Chicago,
which made it convenient for me to
get on if train and come to Lincoln. Of
course, I expect to go over political
affairs with Mr. Bryan, but only in a
general way."
"What do you think are the pros
pects for the democrats securing con
trol of the house of representatives?"
"I believe there is the best kind of
a chance for it. If my guest is right,
the party will make gains everywhere
on congressmen."
"Have the republicans any show of
carrying Kentucky?"
"None whatever. . Bryan will get the
not changed. The election of a re
publican governor last fall was due to
local dissensions among the democrats,
which have r.o relation to the national
campaign. Democrats in my state are
all for Bryan. The reason the party
did not win on the state ticket last fall
was that about ,000 of its voters
stayed at home and 5,000 others sup-
ported republican ticket.
.This year, there will be few stay-at-
homes and no defection at the polls.
Co!. Watterson declined to comment
on the proceedings of the republican
national committee relative to contests
from the southern states. He was
equally taciturn when asked to say
what he thought would be the leading
issues of the presidential campaign.
"Do you expect to make any
speeches in behalf of Mr
Bryan?" was
asked.
"No. I have made no political
speeches for fifteen years. My business
is to run a newspaper, and my work
for the democratic ticket will be done
from the editorial chair.

ANOTHER COUPLE
HAPPILY HARRIED
Mr. Rheinhold Jahrig of Cheynne, Wy
oming, and Miss Earnestine
Doering, of Plattsmouth.
This afternoon at the home of the
bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Julius
Doering, occurred a very pretty home
wedding, wherein was united the lives
of Rheinhold Jahrig, of Cheyenne,
Wyoming, and Miss Earnestine Doer
ing of this city. The ceremony which
joined their lives was performed at two
o'clock in the presence of only the im
mediate family and a few near friends.
The bride. Miss Earnestine Doering,
was gowned in white silk, while the
groom, Mr. Rheinhold Jehrig, was
dressed in simple black. The fateful
words were said by the Rev. G. J.
Keller, of the German Methodist church,
of Lincoln. The happy couple were the
recipients of many handsome presents.
They started for the west this after
noon on the Missouri Pacific train, go
ing to Omaha, from whence they de
part for Denver on the Union Pacific,
where they will visit, and also at Pueblo
and Colorado Springs, making the trip
to Pike's Peak. They will visit at
Cambria and Sheridan, Wyoming, be
fore returning to their home at Chey
enne, where Mr. Jahrig has a position
with the Union Pacific and a home fitted
up for their reception when they shall
have arrived there.
The out of town guests were: August
Doering and wife, of Omaha; Miss
Marie Kaufmann, Cedar Creek; Mrs.
Henry Weber, of Cambria, Wyoming, a
sister of Mr. Jahrig; Rev. and Mrs.
Keller, of Lincoln, and3Wm. Rassner,
of Broken Bow, this state. !
Mr. Jahrig was for a number of years
a resident of this city, and some nine
years since went to the west, where he
has won for himself many friends by
his genial good nature, and enjoys a
very good and lucrative position with
the Union Pacific railway. The bride,
MissJJ Doering, grew to womanhood in
thi3 city, where she has a host of warm
friends, who only know her to admire
her. The Journal joins with the many
friends of both parties in their wishes
that the lives of this couple may be
happy, filled with prosperity and free
from the things which do not add to
pleas ue and happiness. They will be
at home to their friends in Cheyenne,
after July 15.
A man who is in perfect health, so he
can do an honest day's work when
necessary, has much for which he
should be thankful. Mr. L. C. Uodgers
of Branchton, Pa., writes thathewas
not only unable to work, but he couldn't
stoop ovei to tie his own shoes. Six
bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure made a
new man of him. He says, ' 'Success
to Foley's Kidney Cure."
