By those in charge of the recep
tion to William J. Bryan on his
return from his 'round-the-world
trip it is said that the Nebraskan
will be the busiest politician in
America during the first few days
of his arrival. It is estimated that
he will address upward of 200,000
persons assembled in formal gath
erings and as many more in in
formal speeches made from rail
road trains.
Mr. Bryan realizes that he will
have no time for rest until he has
been back home for at least two
weeks , but he has said that he does
not need rest. He demonstrated
during his two campaigns for the
presidency that what was work
to many was recreation to him ,
and , physically , it is said , he has
not changed.
Biggest of all the demonstrations
to mark his home-coming will be

church next Sunday morning ,

Homer Tait and Roy Young of
Brownlee are in town today on land
business. Honier tells us that sev
eral weeks ago a hail storm struck
his place and ruined a fine garden
and about six acres of oats for him ,
besides several acres of meadow hay.
He says the hail drifted several feet
deep in places , and that four days
afterward he found enough to freeze
ice cream.
that in Madison Square garden. It
is predicted that all records for
crowding will be broken in the
neighborhood of the big amphi
theatre on the night of August 30.
Requests have already been re
ceived for double the number of
seats the garden holds , and they
are still pouring in. It is to pre
vent utter disappointment to the"
multitude that Mr. Bryan will ad
dress'the overflow at the close of
the regular meeting.
Everything indicates also that
the parade of Mr. Bryan and his
adherents , from the Battery to the
upper part of the city , will be one
of the most noteworthy demon
strations of its kind ever witnessed
in New York. Ticket speculators
have been active for two weeks

Indications are that there will be
in New York during the latter
days of the month more visitors
than have assembled here at any
one time in many years. Through
out the west , middle west and
south railroads are advertising ex
cursion rates to the Bryan recep
tion , and their agents report that
the sale of tickets is unprecedented.
Hotels have already received re
quests for more rooms than they
have and are still being flooded
with letters. New York Herald.

The weeds of our city are growing so fast ,
One hardly can walk on our sidewalks at last ;
They grow in profusion at the edge of the walk ,
And our friend , Mr. Barker , does nothing but talk.
His ambitions loom upward , to thoughts in the air ,
Where sidewalks on trussles will be free from care.
He wants us to build them of cement or brick ,
But the city can use cinders , you see the trick ;
For crossings on alleys it won't come so high ,
So the city and Barker gets off with a sigh :
For Barker has fenced up his walk , don't you know
Or the place for the walk so the people can't go.
They must all walk 'round him , because it is he
That , is running this town , just for you and me.
His cellars on Main street , and projecting step ,
Are not to be noticed by others by-jep !
What ! "Pit-falls ? " and "man-holes ? " did I hear you say ?
Well , it's Barker , you see , and he's having his day.
But laws of our city must now be obeyed ,
Except , of course , those who our laws have displayed.
For the honor that's bright as a silver cup
Why , who on that board ; that would vote to close up
The wide gaping holes that endanger your life-
Would anyone do it ? No ! Not on your life !

The Backbone
of a
Mighty Nation
is good food food for brain , lood for orawn , food that is
strengthening , that gives energy and courage. Without a proper
appreciation of this great fundamental truth no nation can rise
to greatness.
As an article of food , soda crackers are being used more and
more every day , as is attested by the sale of nearly 400,000,000
packages of U need a Biscuit , which have come to be recog
nized as the most perfect soda cracker the world has ever known.
And so U need a Biscuit will soon be on every table at
eveiy meal , giving life , health and strength to the American people ,
thus in very truth becoming the backbone of the nation.
