You , gentle or ungentle reader ,

bor ? Crawford Tribune.
( Crete Democrat. )
Bryan spent several days in
Washington conferring with
members of both houses. It seems
as though the opposition to him
has almost entirely disappeared in
that quarter.
The Fairbury Journal has an
nounced that it is a democratic
paper and will support Bryan for
president. The Journal has been
independent but from this on will
work with the party for the pro
motion of principles.
( York Democrat. )
When we hear a republican say
he thinks Bryan has some show
this year because the trusts know
he cannot accomplish much with
an opposition congress , it makes
us think he is conscious of belong
ing to a trust dominated party and
does not quite have the courage to
break loose from it.
The State Journal says Penn
sylvania cannot have a two-cent
fare , but as long as it has a
§ 14,000,000 state house and a stat
ute of Matt Quay it should not
complain. There is another thing
Pennsylvania has which the Jour
nal did not mention. That is a
300,000 republican majority. If
either of the judges who held the
two-cent fare invalid should run
for reelection on the republican
ticket he would be overwhelming
ly elected. Poor old Pennsylvania.
( Rushville Standard. )
There is a law which deftly
states that express rates has been

If the rank and file of the re
publican party had their way they
would nominate Sen. La Follette
of Wisconsin as their choice of
candidate for the presidency. But
the rank and file of republicans |
have nothing to say when it comes ,
to naming their nominee. If they
want a La Follette , a Lincoln or a
Jefferson , let them line up for W.
J. Bryan and get what they want.

The American Stock Com-
Manager Massingale , getting
the big shows right along , for
tunately has arranged for this big ,
complete attraction of 15 people ,
a special car of scenery valued at
§ 2.000. He has the assurance that
each act will display new drop
curtains and fire set pieces. As
an idea , in the great success , "The
Village Vagabond" aiact melo
drama , the first scene is a leg
wood drop hung in front of a
mammoth forest. A sensational
feature of the play is the escape
of the prisoners from Blackwell's
Island prison , using a special
prison drop and set rocks , also a
mammoth cave scene ; the trial is
hold in the police court. Lewis
Kline , the Jew comedian , keeps
the audience in a good humor ,
while Gladis Bush , the cute little
soubrette , wins the sympathy of
everyone. The old sea captain , a
brute to all appearances , was hissed
at Sterling , Colo. , in the new
opera house , until it became nec
essary to drop the curtain. Her
ald the brother of the "Villiage
Vagabond , " a heavy with this at
traction , wins the dislike of all ,
thus portraying their parts in a
realistic manner , also showing1 a
good moral , that the honest and
straightforward path is the only
way to enjoy life.
"The American Cousin" a fine
play that will live in the hearts of
the American people , will be pre
sented on Tuesday night , followed
by the laughing drama "From
Way Down East , " "Old Jed
Prouty. " . ,
The company play ? here three
nights beginning Monday \Feb.lO.
