calculation In Mmple arithmetic. baaM
on figures that may be found by anybody
In tho official record o( tnn Lancaster
county assessor, shows that W. J- Bryan
has enjoyed a remarkable Increase In
wealth In tho four year of rrcsldcnt Mc
Klnlcy's admlnlHtratlon, tho exact increase
In point of value over his possessions of
1M6 belnK about In accordance with his
favorlto ratio of 15 to 1. Unless Mr. llryan's
rase Is nn exception. It may be cited as
ono of the strlklnR evidences of the pros
perous condition of the cltliens of tho capi
tal city. In 1SDS, tho democratic leader's
personal and real property was assessed at
a valuation of J210. while this year the
valuation of the same class of property,
undisputed by Mr. Uryan. is H G60.
Business men and bankers In this city
rerelvo Inquiries from eastern correspond
ents concerning the financial side of Mr.
llryan's life. Many of tbem ask for In
formation concerning his legal career In
this city, other want to know whether
he Is a wealthy man and still others ex
press a desire to bo Informed as to his
mending as a cltlen. without regard to
politics. Many of these questions have
necessitated an examination of odlclal pub
lic records and to meet tho constant de
mand all figures pertaining in any way
to Mr. Bryan, either to his financial status
or to the votes ho has polled, have been
compiled by tho various authorities who have
them In charge and can bo produced In

The reporter recently made Inquiry at
the offlre of the county clerk concerning
the nssessed valuation of Mr. Bryan's prop

tho flft'rtb person to ask the same ques

trouble of going to the books to answer
surh Inquiries, but they became so numer
ous that wo prepared nil the Information
about Bryan's property that we could get
from the books here and we now have It
compiled so that you can get Just what you
want at a glance. Troplo are always
lotherlng us with questions about Bryan
Koine want us to give an opinion concern
ing his Illness for the presidency nnd In
that category I could mention the names
o' a number of men prominent In national

Of still more Interest are tho official fig
ures relative to Mr. Bryan'B twenty-five
a. re farm. The deeds show the property
ns purchared In the form of building lots
nnd not by acres. On May 17, 1S93. Mr.
1'rvnn purchased four lots for J2.000. which
row would be considered a ridiculously high
price for the same land or any other prop
erly In the vicinity. The transaction was
med when property values at Normal were
inflated r- reason of a boom. In 1S9S Mr.
I ryati purchased eight lots adjoining for
( 1 .701 and at another time during tho same
yeir ho obtained a clear title to thirteen
lots for $C00. Of the twenty-llvo acres of
land, only fifteen acres were under cultiva
tion this jenr. the remainder being dl
Mded equally between tho house and barn
yard and an orchard of young fruit trees.
In his campaign speeches Mr. Bryan has
several timet said that after taking out the
cost of plowing, sowing, harvesting and
threshing, the net Income from his five acre
oat field would not exceed 4 per cent on
bis Investment, but he has aUo asserted
that bis land cost him $100 per acre, In
ncnd of $G. as reported In several news-
papers. Ho has used bis own experience as
n farmer ns nn argument In support of his
contention that the farmer could not enjoy
prosperity under republican rule. Farm
land as good as Mr. llryan's can be bought
In I.nncaster county for 125 per acre, or
only one-fourth as much os Mr. Bryan paid,
nnd If he realizes 4 per rent on $100 land,
then $25 land will yield n return of 16 per
cent on tho Investment. It would be dim
( nit to find more convincing evidence of
the farmers' prosperity

WHAT AN ELECTION COSTS
IHirnr In Nf-lrnUii Amount to

Vole CnM.
LINCOLN, Oct. 26. (Special.) Each gen
eral election In Nebraska costs the tux
pa) era of the state approximately JlOO.Ono,
or nearly oU cents for each vote polled.
Of this uinount only a very small portion,
usually not exceeding J 1.000. Is paid out
of the slate treasury. The remainder, with
the exception of the coit of registration,
which Is borne by the municipal corpora
tions, U paid by the counties.
The chief Item of expense Is the com
pensation of Judges and clerks of election.
In the ninety counties there are 1,700 vol
Ine precrncts and in caeh are employed
not less than three Judges and two clerks,
while In many of the thickly populated
counties there are five Judges and two
clerks at each polling place. All election
boards servo two days and their com
pensation and mileage usually amounts to
at least 125. One man In each precinct Is
allowed ono extra clay's pay and mileage
for carrying tho result to the county clerk.
The construction of booths usually amounts
to quite a large sum and for at least half
of the precincts $5 Is allowed for the rent
of tho room or house occupied. Delivering
the ballot boxes Is nnother Item of ex
panse which amounts to considerable After
eUctlon each county clerk appoints two
disinterested citizens to sit with himself
on the canvassing board and theso men are
allowed tho usual dally compensation and
mileage. A police officer at each polling
rlace costs M.-iou. Then there are other
Incidentals, such as Ink. pens, envelopes,
cards of Instruction and stamps, all of
which help to swell tho total expense.
the ballots cast at a generat election usu
ally cost over J5.000. Two olflcl.il ballots
and two sample bnllots are printed for
every voter nnd. taking the vote of IMS
as a basis, this means a total of PS0.000
ballots, which this year are printed at an
average cost of JH per thousand. Tho elec
tion notices in each county cost 2u.
The state pays for mailing and register
ing certificates of election, printing and
publishing the nnnual election proclama
tion and election laws, a copy of which Is
given to each officer of election.

LINCOLN. Oct. 26. (Special.) Men best
posted on political conditions In the First
congressional district agree that George
W. Bergo, the fusion candidate for con
grcssman. does not stand even a remote
chance of election. This view of the sltua-
lion is not entertaincu oniy oy rrpuu
llcans but by fusionists as well, it being
admitted that nothing less than a popo
cratlc landsl'de can tako away from Con
gressman Burkett the exceptionally large
vote ho polled two years ago.
An examination of the election returns I
from tho seven counties In this district,
for the last ten years will show that no
fuslonlst ever received a majority of all ,
ote I
down below JOO on only two occasions, the
first being when Mr. Bryan wns a candi
date nnd the second when Judge Tost was
u candidate on tho state ticket. Accord-
Ing to these returns and unless all signs ,
fail Mr. Merge cannot succceed unless ho
cuts the Lancaster county majority down to
500 or less, which Is next to Impossible.
VcnU Sinn In I.iiiicnMer.
In Lancaster county the fusionists have
centered their fight against the republican
candidates for the legislature and have
given but little attention to their congres
sional nominee. The fact cannot be de
nted that Mr. Berge Is much weaker ln(
Lancaster county than In other sections of
the district Several years ago h was a
candidate for county Judge on the prohibi
tion ticket and rccclwd not over 500 votes.
He Is still regarded as a prohibitionist by
many of the fusionists In this city nnd the
fact will undoubtedly hnvc the effect of
losing him qtilto a number of votes.
Strong lights are being made In behalf
of the fusion candidate In Nemaha and
Otoe counties and while n few ofnes may
be filled by fusionists there Is no Indica
tion that either the congressional, state or
national tickets will suffer. Johnson county
Is strongly republican and gains are being
made stoadlly In Itlrhardson county be
cause of internal opposition to several
fusion candidates. Many of the old-school
populists in Hlchardson nre contemplating
an open bolt against several of their can
didates and all Indications point to the
election of the entire republican ticket.
The poll of the republican congressional
committee shows gains In German pre
cincts In Otoe county. Chairman Munger
! said today that he believed tho electors
and all candidates on the state ticket would
run about even with a plurality of 2,500 or
Mk MrctliiK nt llenderon.

McElree s Wine of Cardui is a pure vegetable extract that has given good health and lives of usefulness to more than a million
suffering women. It has had a century's romantic history and is now recognized as the foremost medicine of its class in the world.
Wine of Cardui cures such female diseases as are shown by the following symptoms : Delay of First Appearance of Menses,
Irregular Menstruation (whether the period is too long or too short), Suppressed or Delayed Menstruation, Profuse or Too Frequent
Menstruation, Painful Menstruation, Chlorosis or Green Sickness, Leucorrhoea or Whites, Falling of the Womb and Chang- of Life
The management of these diseases with Wine of Cardui is simple, and any woman can treat herself in the privacy of home without
examination by a physician or the knowledge of any one but herself. Nearly every woman needs such a medicine and the best
women in the country now use Wine of Cardui regularly. All druggists keep $1.00 bottles of Wine of Cardui

MENSTRUATION.
The menses come to a healthy woman every 28
days. If they come more, or less frequent, something
Is wrong. The slightest derangement of this function
brings on serious consequences. All women's ailments
result directly or Indirectly from disordered menstrua,
tion. Any Irregularity is easy to check, when attended
to promptly. Wine of Cardui is the remedy that has
cured a million women.

nfter he had been nominated by two con
, ventlons and had circulated petitions In
! order to get his name on the official bal
I lot. which was no easy matter. Inasmuch
as his candidacy was supposed to draw from
I the element which has formerly voted for
; Stark. Dodds' excuse for running was that
he wanted to perpetuate the true populist
party. The fusionists were anxious because

cused Dodds of having formed an alliance
with the republicans. Now, nfter weeks of
trouble In getting his name on the official
ballot, which he succeeded In doing only
last Saturday, ho has concluded to with
draw and the fact that he came to this con
clusion the day following Congressman
Stark's visit to the city makes his work
very suspicious. It Is stated here Hint
Mwar. Stark and Dodds and a few of the
resign were agreed to and In the manner
It was expected the raid-road following
would be switched back to Stnrk. whose
chances of re-election are dally growing
Bmal)cri DUt in this It seems they reckoned
without their host. The mld-ronders were
sincere In their nomination of n candidate,
even If the candidate was not. and they nre
so displeased that many of them declnre
they will vote for John D. l'ope before they
will walk Into the trap set by them to have
them vote for Stark. The fusionists have
charged all along that Dodds had sold out
to the republicans and If such was true It
might be Interesting to know how much
It cost Mr Stnrk and his friends to buy

One hundred and twenty-live dollars In

Finding no money In the cash register or
money till, they pulled out drawers and
found a sack contnlnlng over $30 In cash.
Owing to .men's foot prints In the soft
mud where entrance was mude nnd several
hair pins found on tho back steps, it Is be
lieved that the two women who had a pre

THE CAPTAIN TELLS SOME THINGS HE KNOWS
OF PERUNA.

Captain L. L Blake, of the stenmer Mc

In a recent letter written from Wash

Columbus, Ohio, ho says.
"I can cheerfully re
commend your Perutiu
for rheumatism, and it is
also a very substantial
catarrh remedy."
Captain L. L. Blake.
Much that la called rheumatism Is In
reality myalgia. Myalgia Is an affection
of the larger muscles, especially those In
the small of the back, producing pain, stiff
ness, cramp, and frequently distress nn the
slightest movement. When the muscles of
the small of the back are Involved it Is
generally called lumbago. If the large mus
cles of the arms or legs ure the seat of the
affection It Is then generally called mus
cular rheumatism. They are one nnd all
the same affection, however.
The month of October brings cool days
and cooler nights. Tho dally perspiration
of the hot months Is gradually and some
times suddenly discontinued. This produces
nn acid condition or tho tiloo'l which tno
kidneys nro not always able to correct. By1
stimulating the mueuous membranes of tho
whole body, tho accumulations of acid In,
the blood cm bo drained away. This could
be done with Peruna tnken according to
the directions on the bottle

People who have been long subject to
catarrh are almost sure to have n return
of their bad symptoms at the nppronch of
cold weather. October Is a good time to
fortify the system against this liability.
This climate Is especially productive of
