"Wo understood he had made money and understood ho was ablo to live In style. What his salary was I do not care to say, but It was ample to afford him tho luxuries of life. I shall add nothing to tho state ment Mr. Hlno has given out." An olllclal connected with tho bank who did not wish his natno used said: "A proof that tho bank Is not likely to suffer by tho defalcation Is that Its profits for tho. year ending last September 1 were $1,350,600. The surplus Is Increasing fast. Tho par valuo of tho stock Is $100 a share, but it has brought as high as $1,923, at auction.

Alvord's great build mado him a marked llguro on the race trade and nt the Saratoga club. Though Dick Canfleld says ho never saw him and does not know him, many men who played rouletto or faro remembered Alvord as tho man who bought $500 stacks and played to tho limit and almost Invariably lost without tho alllghteat show of emotion. "Ho always bot the cash,'" said Sam Frank, a Saratoga bookmakor. "So, I never knew much about hlra. I nover paid him a bet, for ho novor won one. Ho was tho best loser I over saw and would come around chipper tho next day and bet mo ngaln. He could have all the credit he wanted, but he nover bet mo worn than $100 ou a raco and always handed out the money." Drove Fn.t Horsen. "He Urovo tho finest trotters In Sam toga," said another bookmaker, "and seemed to Uko tho nttcntlon ho attracted He did not seem to caro for women and I don't think I over saw him with one.

"Ha had no hesitation In betting from $500 to $1,500 ou a raco and his nod waB as good as another man's money. Ho was the most regular loser that I evor saw. Ho always lost.

Tho -niyj-tery surrcundlng tho manner In which tins outside brokers and Commission mm wero nblo to secure quotations of the Chicago Hoard of Trado from August 1 to October 10, was dispelled todny when the testlmoncy of Chicago electricians nnd telegraph opera tors was fllfd In tho United States court. The secret was revealed by Oscar M. Stono In an examination conducted before Com missioner Harper In Chicago. In brief, It Is to tho effect that tho quotations were secured by n system of mrssongers who went to various blackboards and tickers and got tho quotations. Then thoy hurried to a convenient telophono or else to a placo whero signalling could be dono. Then un operator In a room opposite a La-Salla street broker's ofllce, with tho aid of a field glass, road off tho quotations ns fast as they wero posted to an operator presiding nt a telegraph Instrument. In this way the Chicago nnd outsldo cltlos wero furnished tho quotations. Tho telegraph Hues used In Chicago wero old nbandoned wires that wero not used by tho telephone company. Mr. Stono bad three telephones In his offices and they wero In ueo almost constantly during business hours, and six men wero employed to get tho quotations. One man would got one option ou wheat nnd another man would securo another option. Tho men wero given a list of offices where blackboards wero posted, but wero cautioned not' (6 go to tho open board of' trade. 1 Mr. Stono refused to reveal his system of Blgnnls. They were tho product df his brain, bo said, nnd valuable. Tho signals wero worked by men In tho, alleys by a combination of the points of tho compass. Tho system did not work well on fractions. Georgo F. Hoyt corroborated the statements of Mr. Stono concerning the telephones and signals. Stono ceased operations on October 10, the date of tho Ipjunctlon.

Tho big tent at tho corner of Capitol ave nue and Fifteenth street was the scene of another big republican rally laot night, the occasion being nn address by General Dan lei E. Sickles under the auspices of the Union Veteran league. Tho scats were all occupied except a fow of the outer rows nt either end. Just prior to the hour of the opening of tho meeting the Union Veteran league came marching down to tho tent to tho martial sralns of a half dozen fifes nnd tho, thunder of ns many drums; over 100 strong'. Form Ing In lines nlong each side of the central aisles It constituted Itself n guard of honor. Down through tho ranks of grizzled veter ans soon ufterwurds passed tho one-legged guest of honor to the stoge, amidst tho warm greetings of his old comrades ami the enthusiastic cheers of the swelling crowd. Ho was escorted by n committee led by Mayor Moores, Hon. C. J. Greene, Hon. ( H. Dietrich, County Clefk Haverly. .1. N. Wcstberg, W. W. Hlngham, Hdwnrd Rose water, Captain H. E. Fulmer and many other prominent republicans. Judge Strnwn also accompanied him ns commander of tho veterans, who presided nt the meeting. Tho Rough Rider quarlot of York put the audlcnco In proper tone by n topical song, each verso concluding with tho melodious atsurance thnt "When the votes are counted Nebraska will bo in line." In presenting (loueral Stckjea Judge Strawn paid a trlbuto to his valor In the field and his continued efforts ever since to pcrpctuato tho lessons then inculcated. General Sickles spoko sitting, with his left arm thrust through his crutches, As n Justification for coming to Rryan's state to speak ho dwelt upon tho breadth and vital importanco of tho Ibsucs Involved to tho entlro nation qnd ho enmo to speak to Americans rather than Nebraskans. He canio to speak to republicans and demo crats. Ho had always been n democrat, ex cept In 1861 nnd 1S96. Ho need not apolo glzo for his action In 1S06. In that yenr the democrats had no candidate. It has none now, but ono harrowed from the populists. Ilrynn nn n .Monopoly. One reason why I am opposed to Mr. Hrynn la hccaiixa ho Is n. monopolist. Not withstanding hla pronounced opposition to tho monopoly ho Is trying to monopolize the nominations of all political parties. With his two feet ho Is endeavoring to stand on thrco platforms. If lie could havo secured tho mlddlo-of-the-roiul nomination ho would havo tried to stand on four. Hut tho middle-of-the-road populists disclaim Hryati as 11 fustonlHt. The old-tlmo Jncksonlnn nnd Jcffersonlun democrats cnimot claim him becauso ho opposes cvorythlng thnt demo crats want nnd advocates everything they don't want. Tho speaker recalled how his grandfather, as n. Jcffersoulan democrat, extolled Jefferson for tho Louisiana pur chase nnd his fnther, ns a, Jncksonlnn dem ocrat, commended a similar course In that democratic patriarch. Mr, Hrynn is the llrst candldato whp eyer claimed that the democratic party was op posed to expansion. All other candidates havo boon gifted with Itu uuccuKHful ud vocney. Referring to Bryan's support of tho treaty and his having favored tho war, tho speaker luqulrcd what epithet could bo ap plied to a man who docs a thing nnd then sneaks out of It. President McKlnlcy's magnanimity In dealing- with Spain, whom this country would havo booif Justified in1' stripping of all her iiossesslons, 'was highly com mended. Having driven them from the American continent, tho president looked out across to tho Phlllpplno Island nnd said that thoso Islands are consecrated to liberty and must remain under the Amerl enn nag and so ho Instructed the peace com mission to demand them. A voice was heard: "How about tho Stilus ?" Tho speaker paid no heed to tho Inter ruption, but a moment later, whon n policeman was seen ushering tho man out, Oencral Sickles said: "O, don't mind that man. He don't bother mo a bit. In a crowd so big ns this you nro lucky It you havo only ono fool." General Sickles said that the dlfforence between McKlnloy nnd IJryun Is that the former accepts responsibility for his own nets, whllo Dryan' docs not. Referring to militarism, the speaker re viewed tho careors of Washington, Jack son, Lincoln and Grant, all of whom had bcocn decried as dictators, but who at the, end of their careers had retired to private life and ncbody was hurt. nut there was a tlmo when this country was really threatened with mtllturlnm. That wns when Hilly Dryan Joined tho nrmy. Hut tho wur wus ended before Hrynn lenrned to put on nnd tnko off Ills uniform or to wulk without tripping over 1.1. . ..... 1 A .1 I . . T I . BWU1U. JlliU 111 Ulill 1110 .OIU WHH ROUIl to us, for If Urynn had evor got into a battle and out of it with credit ive would havo had a genulno militarist, lie would havo moved upon tho White House and taken possession and there ho would huve rcmainea. Ilua Never l'ouuht 11 Trust. General Sickles denied that Bryan had ever availed himself of his yoara of op portunity to lift o hand to savo tho people from tho trusts, about which ho now says so much. In one plank of his Kansas City platform he rotors, to government by Injunction. I)y that ho means that ho would deprive tho courts of their ancient function ot re straining tho commission of a wrongful net. If that wero done, he would like Mr. Dryan to tell how he would ever stop the operations of a trust, as the Injunction Is tho only means of stopping a trust. What does Mr. nryan stand for? I nm sorry to sny It here, among tho people of hla own Btute, but It Is my duty to arraign him as a public enemy, becauso thn whole tenor nncf trend of all of Mr. Hryan's Hpceches havo been to array class against class, neighbor ugalnst ticluJibnr, employer against employe, commoner against capi talist and ono section ngulnst nuother, to disseminate 111 feeling between us and our Kngllsu cousIiih on tho other nldc of the Atlantic, an lending 10 uiscoru, enmity, hatred and destruction. Tho epeaker said that all of tho great statesmen 0 tho country had endeavored to bring together the people ot tho various sections ot the country and President Mc Klnloy has dono more In that direction than any president since 1861. If it were not for the ruco question he would recclvo tho electoral vote of moro than half of tho southern states. In terms of unmistakable earnestness and with patriotic fidelity ho raeutloncd tbo conditions that havo been brought about under McKlnley's administration, tho sound flnauolul policy, for the first tlmo In IU history n creditor nntlon, tho balance ot trado overwhelmingly In bur favor, with tho nations of the old world coming to us to borrow money not paper or flat money, but gold, Under tho administration of McKlnley wo have tho gold to lend them. Under tho McKlnley administration thero Is employment for tho laboring man at better wages than ho over received before and ho gets his pay In gold, tiu Keuami to L'lmuuc General Sickles ridiculed tho plea for the election ot Rryan becauso ho can do no harm, as his adversaries havo him muzzled. Ho snld that thu peoplo aro endowed with common sense and when they look around them upon the prosperous and happy con ditions prevailing, with all our Interests guarded and our country commanding the rrnnert nt iUn u-nt-1.1 Itirft pnn find no reason why they should chango their ruler. The American peoplo will do no sueh fool' Ish thing. Hvcrywhero in the thousands of miles ho had traveled hd had encount ered n tidal wavo of sontlment that will carry McKlnley back Into the Whlto House by,n vote moro decisive than ever before given n president. General Sickles tnlkcd for some time on New York, saying tint If Mr. llryan's sue- au rtnndtl.ta n V.... Vrtrb lilta i1nfn.1l In certain. Ho directed attention to the fact that during his recent visit to .sew lorK Ilryan had glorified Crokcr, which would alienate the support of tho respectable clement. "Now, when you put Crokerlsm and tlrynnlsm together," said General Sickles, "and offer that fusion In ono cup, I don't like to tell you tho number of thousands by which thoy will reject the dose." In closing, General Sickles spoko with pathos and earnestness of his grfcat love for the old soldiers, especially those who had served under his Immediate command, of whom he had met ninny In Omaha. Ho declared that ho spake to them as hn knew Grant, Sherman, Lincoln and tho other II lustrlous old nseoclalcs would speak were they now living, when ho said "Voto for Comrado William McKlnley." livery sentence of the general's speech was n forrefijl one. and It was delivered throughout with n qualntncus ot expression nnd n vein of humor thnt won almost con tinuous applause. There wero occasional Interruptions, vhlch the speaker turned neatly, to tho delight of tho audience, to react upon tho disturbers. Hon. C. J, Groeno fcllowed In nn address nlong Intense republican lines, speaking Instead of Hon. John C.

Tho wife has entirely recovered from hor dyspepsia, I will not go Into tho dctnlls of my own case, except to say that I was a desperato sufferer with dyspepsia and discovered by leaving oft coffee that roffco was tho cause of It. I quickly got woU when I took up Postum Food Colfee. I earnestly hopo many moro coffee drinkers may get their eyes open." Namo and address given by Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Rattlo Creek, Mich.
