IJneoln, Neb., Sept. G. William J.
Bryan hus returned to hi Lincoln
home, and the'home folks" welcomed
him with every evidence of" approval
and satisfaction. It was a neighbor
ly welcome, planned as such, and car
ried out in its entirety with tlfcit un
derstanding. Lincoln lias more Kepuli
lien ns than Democrat, and ltryau lias
in the past goodhumoredly expressed
tho belief that It would be a task to
"reform" the city politically, but UiU
time there wiw no line of partisan di
vision, and the welcome extended to
both Mr. and Mrs. ltryau was sincere
and open-handed. F.vcryhndy showed
good nature; noliody wanted t ipiarrel
about politics.
Lincoln in Gala Attire.
It Is doubtful whether Lincoln ever
held a larger crowd than that which
enme to the city on this occasion. The
weather, barring the hear, was as near
ly perfect as It rould be, It was a
jiair Holiday la the city, and every
train from over the state arrived load
ed down, bringing not only Nebraska
people, but many from nearby states.
lug. city was handsomely decorated
for the home-coming, the fronts of
business houses being a mass of flag
nul bunting, while in the residence
districts lithographs of Itiynn in the
windows, together with the national
colors, were everywhere seen.
'(Jreat Scott! W hat a Crowd."
The Itryan train nrrived at the Bur
lington station shortly after !i p. m.
Two hours before that the crowd be-
pan assembling and was packed
around the station, on the platforms
of freight and express buildings, and
on the sidewalks and In the street for
nearly half a block away. There was
n roar of welcome as the train rolled
In and llryan appeared on the plat
form. Itryan's only expression as lie
looked down on the multitude of faces
was: "Great Scott! what a crowd."
Showing no sign of fatigue, but bow
ing right and left and smiling happily,
with an occasional word to an old
ncimnintniice, ltryau made his way to
the carriage, which took him to the
homo of Charles W. Itryan, where he
had dinner and rested for awhile.

Thirty to Sixty Thousand Persons
Outlier to Greet Itryan.
Two hours before the time for the
exercises at the capltol grounds a
crowd estimated all the way from IIO,
(HiO to U,OnO struggled for points of
vantage around the speaker's stand.
P.ryan was escorted to the stand by
Governor Mickey from his private of
fice in tho Htate house. A prayer by
Rev. George W. Martin, pastor of the
Methodist church at Normal, liryan's
suburban home, was followed by a
brief speech of welcome by Mayor
Iirown, who Introduced Governor Mick
ey, after welcoming Itryan "Not ns
n statesman, not ns a Democrat, but
ns that dearest to us all, our beloved
neighbor."
Governor Mickey's welcome was
warm and hearty, and declared that
not Lincoln but the entire common
wealth Joined In the welcome. He con
cluded in n humorous strain, saylns
that, speaking from n standpoint of n
Republican party man, llryan had
caused him a good deal of uneasiness
in the past, and had shown strong
symptoms of continuing to do so in
the future, but whatever he ndvocated
the governor was satisfied Itryan in
tended for the right.
As Governor Mickey concluded and
Rrynn arose there was renewed cheer
ing and handclappiug. Itryan began
by saying that lu his travels he had
learned that the Arabic language con
tained 000 words meaning camel, and
since returning to the United States he
ihad tv'shed that the English language
contained ns many words meaning "I
thank you." He declared the happiest
part of tho long Journey was the home
coming, and then went Into a general
description of his travels.
following Itryan's speech, the formal
reception took place lu the corridors
of the capltol, In which Itryan shook
hands with the thousands who passed
before 111 in. There was a brilliant dis
play of fireworks for an hour on the
date house grounds.
TAFT TO KF.Pl P.I.U'.YNS
Secretary Discusses the Issues, Includ
ing "Government by Injunction."
Until, Me., Sept. d Secretary Tuft
nddressed n large audience of Repub
licans, making his principal appeal for
the return of Republican representa
tives lu congress. He covered all the
lilies, beclnnlnir with the use of
wraith In corporate enterprises and
going from that to the abuses of or
ganized cnpltal, the movement ngalnst
trusts, which lie reviewed from Its
Inception to It progress under House-
velfit ndinlnlstrotion, giving Rooh.'
vrlt credit for good work agali:st the
tnut evil as pwi a it U pnettos
ble at the present time. He referred
lu this reirard to the practical didicul-"
ties in the way of the movement, ut; I
l!ie means of overvomtni: them.
He then took up railway regiil.ithui;
declaring It necessary anl praNliu t ti
practical reMills of Kooseu'lt'a policy.
He cWed this branch of his address
with the riecliration that Kooscvclt
and his actieeiiicnts are the issue of
this fampu'fn. He declared, us f r
himself, that the tariff should be r-
vised, and said the seiillment for re
vision Is growing In the Ucpuhllcan
party, and spoke a word for a mora
favorable treatment of Philippine
products.
Taking np the labor fight against
Representative LlttletleM, he went Into
the Question of Injunctions thoroughly,
asserting that tho bill fathered by
Gompers would make lnw-breakiiig la
borers a privileged cluaa; that Injunc
tions In labor rases should, on the mer
its, pot be abolished, as they tend to
peaceful settlement and law and or
der. He airtd there probably had been
unjust Injunctions, but there was al
ways n remedy In appeal to a higher
court, and referred ti President Roose
velt's remedy to return to the old
practice and Issue no Injunction until
both sides were represented in court;
but this Gompers had spurned.
NEW TERRE HAUTE MAY OP.
Ilclleves in Knlorcing the Laws Inn
Modilled Sort ot
Manner.
Terre Haute, 1 ml., Sept. ". .Tami n
Lyons, the iiowiy-clceled Democrat ie
mayor, read a statement to the city
council outlining his policy and asking
the Republican council to Join him in
dropping polities In their otlleal rela
tors. As lie succeeds Mayor Itldanmn,
removed for failure to enforce the sa
loon and gambling laws, special inter
est was centered in ills attitude on
that subject. Ho Is emphatic and ex
plicit for the prevention of gambling,
but says no word about saloons.
The only powsible reference is that
he believes "In honest and fair en
forcement of all laws, but believes they
should be enforced In a practical man
ner to secure the greatest good to the
greatest number." This Is taken t
mean that the closing laws will not bo
strictly enforced.

er Tanga Maru, from .lapan. has
brought advices that prominent Japan
ese newspapers are urging on Gp'at
liribiin, as Japan's ally, the adoption
of the conscription system. The Jijl
of Tokio says while wishing to avoid
passing any premature criticisms on
the positions affecting the national de
fenscs of Japan's ally, it is strange
that (Jreat Iiritalu dues not adopt con
scription. The Jijl points out that under the
present system (Jreat Iiritain is spend

military strength, which, although
showing disparity when rotnpnrcd with
the armies of Germany and France,
costs more than the army of both those
countries.

NEBRASKA CROP REPORT
Infarmiiioo Received bj Burlington Exports
is of Encouraging Character.
The Burlington crop report for the
Nebraska district ot the Burlington
Indicates that the great Curn crop Is
progressing fast towards maturity.
Timely rains have helped the late corn
much and it will mature very fast from
now on.
The early corn will soon be out of
the way ot killing frosts, but It will re
quire the absence of the latter till the
last of this month to save tho late
crop. It is the opinion of the expert
that the corn crop of the Nebraska dis
trict, comprising a big slice of the best
section of Nebraska, will be at least an
average crop.
The sugar beet crop Is declared to be
better this year than ever before and
the crop has a larger acreage. Pota
toes are of average quality and quant
ity. The apple and peach crops are large.
It is said that the yeld of apples will
surpass that of any years back. Tall
plowing Is now progressing and it Is
anticipated thai there will be a big
acreage of small grain sown.
Pastures are growing somew hat stale
bi.t are yet fairly good for the time of
year. An Immerse crop of hay has
been harvested.

Quick and Unusual Death of a Horse.
Tuesday Dr. W. I. Jones was
called to the barn of Joe Fitzgerald to
give some medicine to a sick horse,
which he was Informed had been given
feed that might produce colic. The
horse did not seem to be suffering very
much and the usual medicine for such
cases was given. A few hours later
the horse died. Joe Fitzgerald says
the post mortem examination showed
that the death was produced by the
breaking internally of a fistula, which
Is a very unusual thing.

Earth hold t (J rat tiled at the Iteault
of the Itondon Peace Con
ference. New York, Sept. (i. Richard P.nrt-
holdt, of St. Louis, chairman of the
United States delegation nt the recent
pence conference In London, who has
arrived here, said that he was greatly
pleased with tho work of the confer
ence und that every friend of peace
might congratulate himself ou the
splendid results. He said:
We Americans may flutter ourselves
that we have done our share of tho
work. The two main propositions put
forth at tho conference at Brussels by
the American delegates were ratified
at London. The first proposition pro
vided that The Hague tribunal formu
late a plan for a general treaty, to be
submitted to the powers for adoption.
The second proposition provided for an
International congress to discuss In
ternational affairs nnd meet at regu
lar intervals, probably at The Hague.
"When tho proposition Mas submit
ted by mo at Brussels there was much
skeptlenllnm about It. It was thought
to be too far-reaching for Europe. The
propositions were referred to commis
sions, and they reported favorably up
on them. It Is Indeed gratifying to the
i that William Jennings Bryan's
proposition Is Identical with article 2,
which I drafted. That article provided
that even when differences arise on
(U:stlnns which are thought to be such
that they cannot be arbitrated there
should be 'i Invcvtlintinti.

THE PRESENT UNO THE PAST
What a Different a Few Years Make
to a Community.
THE TOWNS THAT AFFORD THE MARKETS
Does Not the Building Up of Towns In
'crease the Price of Land?
Do J"i; remember t lie great rejoic
ing attendant upon the building of
tho first railroad through this sect Ion
of tho country?
Do you remember the great rejoic
ing It caused? It meant closer con
nection with the outside world. That
was Important, but It meant a great
deal more. We were to have a town
that would afford a convenient mar
ket for our products. It would bring
to our doors schools, newspapers,
churches, stores and social life. It
would increase the value of our land.
Celebrations were held, speeches
were made and everybody welcomed
the new and prospcrousera that would
come with the new town.
That was years ago. The town
started and grew. As you fondly
hoped the schools, churches, news
papers, stores, came with ic. Your
land then worth ten dollars an acre Is
now worth fifty to one hundred dol
lars. Not one of your reasonable ex
pectations has failed. You wanted
the town, you worked to get It, worked
to make It what It Is It's your town.
Lately there has been a change.
Why Is it? Isn't the town just as es
sential as ever? Isn't a convenient
market for produce just as desirable
as ever? Are not schools, churches,
etc., as important as ever?
What makes the town, the home
market, the churches and the schools?
Isn't It patronage?
Withdraw your patronage and what
will become of these institutions and
industries?
Do not order goods from mailorder
houses. Keep your monev at home.
Spend it with your home merchant
and thus protect the town and on lo
cal institutions you were once so anx
ious to build up.
At the Parmele Monday Night.
genuine tereat is promised us, In
theappearanceof "The Cow Puncher,"
a new play which will be seen at the
Parmele on Monday, September 10,
litod. It wa-s written by the well
known playwright, Hal Held, and pro
duced by W. F. Mann. It Is a western
drama of tbe higher order, and tells a
story of a young eastern girl whose
brother dies, leaving her a ranch In
Arizona. She leaves college to come
out to take up her brother's work.
Tom Lawton, the foreman of the
ranch, becomes her devoted admirer
and stands between her and danger
that threatens her on every hand and
finally wins her for his own. The cat
tle thieves, Carlos Mendoza and Den
ver Dan, are captured by the rangers,
of which Lawton Is the captain and
summarily given a hemp neck-tic.
Lutcbia Cordova, the sweetheart of
Carlos, receives a bullet Intended for
Carlos and dies, a sacrifice at the altar
of love. Slattery Ann and Tacoma
Tim, after many quarrels, finally make
up their minds that the only way to
compromise Is to get married. And
the curtain came down In the last act
with every one feeling that they have
witnessed one of the best plays seen
this season.
Galvanized Sheet Iron Boxes.
The order of the postmaster general
effective August I, permitting patrons
of rural delivery to make their own
boxes or to have them made to order,
seems to have been misunderstood
Misleading comments have appeared
stating that farmers can now whittle
down their wooden boxes to make
rural mall post box In anyway they
choose. The order of the postmaster
general provides that all boxes must
be made of galvanl.cd sheet Iron or
sheet steel of certain specified dlraen
slons. Wooden boxes now In use will
be gradually eliminated.

POLICE FORCE KEPT BUSY
Five Strangers Arrested Mon jjy Even
ing Three Exceptional!) Tough
Characters.
ONE MAN B1DLY INJURED IN FIGHT
Two Claimed They Wen Working in B.
i M. Yards and Were Simply on
a Spree.
The city police certainly had their
hands full Monday evening rounding
up a bunch of pretty tough characters
that drifted Into town Sunday evening.
One of the party made tho rounds of
our business houses early yesterday
morning with his arm In a sling, ask
ing for something to eat, and evident
ly from the condition of the bunch
later In tho evening they found a few
chicken hearted people In Plat tsmouth
who contributed financially toward
purchasing the iiiantlty of booe
they devoured during the day. Later
In the evening the police rounded
up three of I he Individuals down
near Happy Hollow, after they had en
gaged In a drunken brawl, and one
fellow giving his name as Ed. Hart
was pretty badly cut up with a "Jack"
knife. The other two fellows gave
their names as Jack Boyle and Chas.
Miller, one of whom claimed lobe an
umbrella repaired.
Dr. Hall was called to the Jail dur
ing the evening to look after the
wounded man Hart, and discovered
that he had one scar about four Inches
long, requiring four stitches, on the
breast, and another a few Inches above,
neither of which were serious. On
his face wero a few minor broken
places, and his body was almost
covered with light llesh wounds.
Frank and (leorgo Smith were the
remaining two of the five that passed
the night In the city jail and appear
ed In Justice Archer'scourtthls morn
ing for hearing. These two Individ
uals claimed they had employment
here, and had worked the greater part
of yesterday, but during I he day had
possibly Imbibed too frequently of
the llowing bowl and were picked up
in the evening In a box car.
As a whole the entire party were
about as tough as they usually get
to be, and our police force are certain
ly doing good work when such fellows
are Immediately compelled to leave
town or lodged in Jail.
The three former Individuals were
assessed a line of Jin each, which
amount they were unable to pay, and
were sentenced to hard labor; and the
two Smith's were released as no charge
was brought against them.
Very Unruly Prisoners.
Deputy .Sheriff Manspeaker lias the
county hostelry filled with a bunch of
very undeslraule prisoners in almost
every way possible. They are the
three city prisoners placed In the Jail
last Tuesday morning to serve out
fine of 10 each, and Mr. Manspeaker
has endeavored In every way to give
them good treatment, as he would
any gentleman prisoner placed in his
charge, but they are certainly not de
serving of the same, and should have
a ball and chain attached to them and
compelled to work out the line In
place of resting at their ease in even
such quarters as our county jail. They
are a dirty set in the fullest sense of
the term. They have taken jack
knives and completely riddled the
mattresses upon the beds, and even
broken up dishes that their meals
were placed upon, and we understand
that they are now compelled to cat
from some unbreakable or worthless
article. The proper treatment would
be to not give them a thing to eat un
til they are able to act at least half
way like men. A man can bo a man
whether his position Is in a palace or
a county jail, and judgment should be
rendered accordingly.

State Fair Visitora Mad.
This morning about five o'clock, or
shortly after, a large delegation of tho
state fair visitors from this county
returned home over the Burlington,
feeling pretty mad over the accommo
dation alTorded them by the railroad
on the return trip. The special left
Lincoln about ten o'clock, and all pas
sengers were informed that the train
would run to I'lattsmouth. It carried
fifteen coaches, and by the time It
reached Omaha the train had un
loaded nearly all of its passengers, per
haps one car load remaining for I'latts
mouth, which evidently the trainmen
determined was too small a number to
carry the train to this city, so they
were left in Omaha for what is called
the paper train, which arrived here
about live o'clock.
