DINNER TENDERED SECRETARY BRYAN BY NEBRASKA ADMIRERS. HAVE GENUINE LOVE FEAST Speakers Laud Work of Guest of Honor, Praise His Character as a Man and as a Represent ative of the People. Lincoln.—William J. Bryan, secre tary of state, was welcomed to his home city Wednesday night by demo crats and friends who had gathered in honor of the fifty-third anniversary of his birth. The crowd filled the floor, the stage and the galleries of the city auditorium, where the Lin coln Bryan club held its annual din ner in Mr. Bryan's favor. It was an orderly crowd that greet ed the new’ secretary of state. The various speakers were cordially re ceived and some of their remarks con cerning Mr. Bryan were received with vigorous applause, but Mr. Bryan alone could bring out anything like an ovation. When he first came onto the platform he was greeted with cheers and again when he arose to speak the diners rose to their feet and cheered. His statements were applauded lustily and when he con cluded his speech there was a rush for the stage by those who wanted to shake hands with him. Speakers from Nebraska and other states lauded the work of the guest of honor, praised his character as a man and as a representative of the people and extended their best wishes for his future career. In reply Mr. Bryan pledged himself to continue the work for which he was praised and especial ly to back the efforts of the new presi dent. When he was praised for his part in the Baltimore convention which the speakers said had resulted in the election of Woodrow Wilson, Mr. Bryan deprecated the laudation. “I did not produce the conditions,” he said. “The conditions produced me.” The auditorium was packed with men who waited for a half hour to gain advantageous places at the long tables. Several hundred were unable to take dinner in the hall and after eating at the hotel they took places in the gallery. The gallery had been filled previously by men and women who sat in their places for four hours. Auditorium Filled. The big room had been decorated with large flags and colored lights and pictures of Wilson, Marshall and Bryan were strewn over the walls. Tables were placed lengthwise down the hall, packed as tightly as possible, and a thousand men rubbed elbowS at the meal. On the stage eight tables accommodated about 200 men. Across the front of the stage was the speak ers’ table, at which sat only those who had an active part on the program. An orchestra at one end of the gal lery played during the meal. As Mr. Bryan entered the building the musi cians played "The Star Spangled Ban ner.” bringing the crowd to its feet. Later it played Mr. Bryan’s favorite air, "La Paloma,” and drew cheers from the crowd. O. W. Meier, president of the Lin coln Bryan club, made the opening re marks and introduced the chaplain of the evening, Rev. H. R. Chapman. Mr. Meier drew applause from the audi ence when he referred to Mr. Bryan as the "prime minister of the United States.” He introduced Edgar How ard as toastmaster. Speakers for the evening who laud ed the achievements of Mr. Bryan were Governor John H. Morehead of Nebraska, Governor George H. Hodges of Kansas. Governor E. F. Dunne of Illinois, Dr. Charles R.

Charles Reign Scoville was placed on the toast list.

London, Eng.—The Constantinople correspondent of the Daily Mail ex presses the fear that the peace nego tiations will be shatered on the in demnity question. Will Shovel No More Coal.

Manny, an in ventor of Battle Creek, Mich. 1 for our purpose to know that for the past seventeen years that boy, grown to manhood, has been the dominant figure in American politics, and is today stronger and more firm ly fortified in the public confidence than any other man in American pub lic life. We come tonight bearing to him from the people of Kansas a mes sage of congratulation, of love and loyalty, and by bringing to him the assurance, on this fifty-third anniver sary of his birth, that in my state his name is still magic, and its mention is still greeted with the old time sin cere applause.” Illinois Proud of Runaway Boy. Governor Dunne of Illinois, among other things in his talk said: “We in Illinois are proud of our runaway boy, but naturally cannot forget his abandonment of his mother state. Why he should have left his nourishing mother and consented to his adoption by even the generous state of Nebraska we in Illinois cannot understand. I am here with you to do honor to the great man who made Wilson and democratic success pos sible. Were there no Bryan during all the period between 1896 and 1912 there would have been no Wilson to day. With the people of Nebraska, I uncover and do honor to the native son of Illinois and adopted son of Ne braska, Secretary of State William J. Bryan.” Nebraska Legislature Offers Homage. The house and senate joined in giving welcome to the distinguished visitors, Mr. Bryan, Nebraskan, and premier democrat of the nation; Gov ernor Dunne of Illinois, just now en raged in a bitter struggle to secure some of the reforms in that great state that are now being enjoyed by Nebraska people; Governor Hodges of Kansas, the state where reforms are usually tried out, and some dozen or more visitors from outside the state who were here to attend the birthday banquet. Welcomed by Governor Morehead. Governor Morehead. in welcoming the visiting chief executives of Kan sas and Illinois, as well as other speakers on the toast list, took oc casion to tell them of some of the re forms brought about within the rast few years in his own state. lie de clared that whereas a few years ago practically every member of the Ne braska legislature rode around with a pass in his pocket, such a passport could now be found only in the pock et of the actual employes of the rail road companies. The present legisla ture, he said, is made up of business men and not politicians, and it is so bent on working for the good of the whole people that the members can hardly be distinguished as belonging to one party or the other. The governor said that it was the proudest moment of his life when he was able to go to the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson, and there be greet ed, not as Governor Morehead of Ne braska, but as the chief executive of the state of Bryan. BRYAN TO HOME FOLKS. Asks Them Not to Forget the Six Million Democratic Voters. Mr. Bryan was called at the end of the toast list. While admitting that he appreciated the kind words of the men who had just spoken before him, Mr. Bryan denied that he was the man who had brought about the triumph of democracy. “They forget that there are six mil lion voterB who deserve the credit." he said. “I am only one of the multi tude.” Mr. Bryan devoted the fore part of his address to compliments to his as sociates on the toast list, his remarks during that part being largely of a humorous nature. He declared that he was unable to make a real speech, as he was too greatly overcome with joy and gratitude to do anything but give a few reminiscences of the bat tles of the past. TELEGRAMS FROM HIS FRIENDS. President Wilson and Others Send Their Congratulations. Toastmaster Edgar Howard made public at the banquet a number of congratulatory telegrams* from party friends invited who could not be present.

Every reader of this paper can se cure absolutely free a box of assorted biscuits by simply cutting out the cou pon from their ad appearing in an other part of this paper and mailing it to Loose-Wiles Biscuit Co., Omaha, Neb. The firm is thoroughly reliable. Take advantage of this liberal offer and write them today. Real Economy. “Tankerly says he gets drunk sim ply to save time." “To save time.” ‘‘Yes. You see, he says that when he goes to bed sobvr he has to bother to dress and put his shoes on again the next morning, whereas if he doesn't go to bed sober all he has to do next morning is to wash his face." The Summer Silo. The use of the silo throughout the year is finding favor with many stock keepers. It is quite difficult to obtain a profit on pasture which is on land worth $100.00 or more per acre. Dur ing drouth seasons, the pasture is often so poor that it affords little or no feed, but the interest on the invest ment, and the taxes must be found. There is no question but what the use of the silo for summer feeding will make rapid gains during the next few years and will soon come into common use. The millions of tons of corn stalks and rough forage which are now annually going to waste will find use in the form of silage and will make possible not only a cheaper pro duction of stock and stock products, but will also make it possible to at least double the profit of stock raising. Farmers who are complaining of low profits from cattle, should make a study of the silo, as they will here find a means to increase their profits and do this with less labor.
