Remember the glories of Bryan the

he's talked when hlb throat was sc
frightfully bore , that his voice was
bewhiskered and needed a shave re
member of iho glories , of Bryan the
brave ! Some heroes have fought foi
their country with swords , and some
for their country have squandered
their hoards ; and sages have written
and-poets have sung , but Bryan has
fought with his double-edged tongue ;
O long may that weapon in majesty
wave remember the glories ol
Bryan the brave ! The western chau-
tauquas are strewn with his dead , the
lyceum circuit , he's painted It red ;
the jawbone of Samson Innocuous
was , as compared with the tongue
that has never known pause ; still
the hero goes on while his enemies
rave remember the glork'g of Bryan

Sufficient Lead on Indians to
Dampen Their Ardor Attendance

Norfolk 10 , Walthlll Indians i.
The Norfolk ball team gathered In
Its most Important victory of the sea
son when It took the second game
away from the crack Indian nine
from Walthlll by the score of 10 to 2.
It Is an Indian trait that when they
lose they lose badly. When Norfolk
swung Into the lead and the red men
saw the game slip away from them
they seemed to drop hope.
It was In fact a walk away for Nor
folk from the time that Marcus
Reynolds made a hit In the fourth In
nlng. bringing In the first score , until
the end. The rod skins were shut out
up to the ninth when they took a
brace and ran In two scores.
Mallory knocked the only three-
badger In the game. Wilson , Klrkland ,
Husk , South and Reynolds each
knocked safe two-baggers ,
Bnvee pitched u good steady game
and made two scores. In the fourth ,
fifth and sixth Innings Norfolk scored
three times each. The Indians became

'Honesty ' in Business and Defense o
-Denver Platform His Themes.
.Kalrvlew. Lincoln , July 23. Honest
, ln business and a detense of the Den
ver.platform , particularly with rospoc
to publicity before election of can
palgn contributions , formed th
themes of the two addresses made b
W. J. Bryan. The first speech was a
Capital beach to the Association o
Grocers and Butchers of Lincoln , am.
the second to the state Democrat !
committee. In his remarks to th
grocers Mr. Bryan dwelt on mono ]
olios In certain products , but declare
tliat merchandising was tlie las
branch of business in which there wi
be a monopoly , because , lie said , th
moment such monopoly was estab
Hshed a competitor would presen
himself and the people would thereb
be protected against extortion. T
the state committee , Mr. Bryan gav
assurances that reports of Democrat !
success from different parts of th
country were encouraging. He ex
pressed his gratlllcation that Dome
cratic newspapers were receiving can
paign contribution and that the masse
were taking a hand In the subbcrlj
tlons. This , he argued , was an ai
splclous beginning of a new era 01
politics ,
It has been definitely determine !
that the notification of Mr. Bryan of
his nomination for the presidency
shall occur on tlie grounds surround
ing the state capital. The exercises
will begin at 2 o'clock , on Aug. 12.
The decision to use the capital
grounds was arrived at because of
their great convenience to the largo
number of people who are expected to
be present. The Bryan home is four
miles from Lincoln and It was mani
fest th.a.t the trolley system would be
wholly Inadequate.

umber of victims of accidents , thus
ar one man being dead In the state

ured more or less seriously.
The dead man was Frank Monroe ,
ho during his boyhood resided at
Nebraska City. Neb. , and who died at
ils home at Sioux Falls as the re-
tilt of overworking in a hay Held on
ils farm near the city. Ho did not
eel well , and fearing that he was
bout to be sick , he hastened his work
i the hay Held with the result that
oth typhoid fever and brain fever
eveloped. He became delirious soon
fter being brought to his homo und
emalned in that condition until the
Inal summons came.
Another victim ot the harvest
elds was Sank Salmon , a McCook
ounty farmer. Himself and his
atner-ln-law had been opciating a
msh binder , running the cutting and
dndlng part of the machine with a
gasoline engine. The accident Imp-
lened just as they were about to
oinmeiice work for the day. When
he engine and binder wore placed In
iperatlon It was discovered that the
canvas reel was not connected , and
Salmon attempted to retiudy this
vlthout slopping the engine. His
sleeve caught In the cogs , drawing
Hs hand Into the cogs and tearing the
iiuscle from above Ills elbow to his
land In a frightful manner.
A distressing accident occurred on
the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney
Hhoad , on the South Dakota side of
the Big Sioux river , in Lincoln
county. Rliead was mowing through
he orchaid when the six-year-old
laughter of the household stepped
inlckly from behind a tree for the
purpose of "scaring papa. " She step
ped Immediately In front of the sickle ,
which cut off one of her feet and in
jured the limb so badly that It has
since had to be amputated below
knee.
August Maas , residing flve miles
from Parkston in Htitchinson county ,
while working with a mower , had the
wrench slip in such a manner as to
throw him face downward against the
sickle bar. . One of the guards pene
trated the skull just back of the right
ear and cut n gash upward for a dis
tance of six inches.
A young man named LIge Snyder ,
working on the farm of C. E. Jones
in Spink county , was the victim ol
an accident which will lay him up foi
a month or two. He was engaged In
mowinrr linv' when n tenm behind him
started to run. In attempting to get
off the machine to stop the horses he
got tangled up in the sickle. Two
fingers on the right hand were en
tirely severed and a third was so
badly Injured that It probably will
be useless. His left arm also was
badly gashed.
The four-year-old son of G. Albright ,
a RedHeld tailor , was the victim of
an accident which took place near
that city. Fred Hertzel was engaged
in operating a mowing machine. The
little bo > was In some tall weeds
where Hcrtzel could not see him and
where ho cculd not see the macnine.
He was directly In the pathway of
the sickle bar of the machine and was
badly cut. The bar struck the boy
just above the ankles , severing the
front bone 'n ' tin- light leg and badly
gashing the left leg. If the well
trained horses had not stopped from
force of habit when the mower struck
the human obstruction , the boy would
have been cut to pieces.

Women anil children are more apt tc
suffer from somnambulism than men
possibly because their brain Is more
delicately poised and therefore inert
easily Influenced by dreams. A som
nambulist nearly always walks with
his eyes wide open , the pupils being
much dilated. Ho Is a dreamer able to
act his dreams , and In this state the
timid l > ecome fearless , the weak strong
and the stupid brilliant. Their som
nambulistic condition presents many
curious anomalies. The somnambulist's
sense of bearing Is not often suspend
ed , for , generally speaking , he will an
swer questions even If whispered , but
often the same ear Is deaf to loud
noises. The sense of smell Is frequent
ly altered. Brimstone and phosphorus
are said to be pleasant scents to the
somnambulist , and many cannot tell
wine from water , as the sense of taste
becomes perverted or entirely suspend
ed. Some people walk periodically In
their sleep , while others do it spasmod
ically. One Herman doctor goes to the
extreme of asserting that somnam
bulists are attracted by the moon , and
thus they walk on roofs of houses and
at great heights because they derive a
peculiar pleasure from contemplating
the moon.
A Tiny Death Dealer.
A most agonizing death Is caused by
an Insect half the sl/.e of a pea a
small black spider. It lives In Peru ,
lu South America , hut a few spec !
metis have readied Kuropo In ship
loads of timber. Not long ago a dock
laborer was unlucky enough to come
upon one in the Victoria docks while
unloading a bark. The tiny deatli deal
er dropped npnn the back of his hand
and dug Its fangs Into his tlesli. The
bite Itself was nothing , but as soon as
the poison began to work the man
fainted with pain. Soon afterward he
came to and lived three days before
the end came. This spider's venom
scorches up the blood vessels and
spreads through all the tissues , caus
ing the most fearful agony a human
being can have to bear. The worst of
It Is that the victim lives nt least two
days , enduring unthinkable anguish
the whole time. This spider Is luckily
not common. It Is known as the
"specky , " anil when a man who knows
what the bite means is bitten he gen
erally blows out his brains. London
