John G. Maher, the noblest Roman' of
them all and, the man who waa never
known to give up the ship as long as
there was a load left in his typewriter,
has returned from the democratic na
tional convention. Colonel Maher was a
strong supporter of Governor - Harmon
during the democratic fight for the noml-
f nation and has : Issued the following
statement upon , his return to Nebraska:
"There are two or three observations I
desire to make.; The incidents I have In
mind will cause the convention to go
, down In history as a very remarkable
one; perhaps the most remarkable ever
held.
' "The first incident I wish to refer to
wm when Mr. Bryan objected to the elec
tion of Judge Barker as permanent chair.
.' man. Mr. Bryan was offered temporary
; ' chairman, but declined to accept - It
After the , committee selected ; Judge
Parker, then Mr. Bryan attempted to get
. Senfetor Kern, James orO'Gorman to
. ' enter the field against Parker, but those
gentlemen properly declined. Mr. Bryan
finally nominated himself for the place.
The general opinion that prevailed among
the leading politicians of all candidates
was that Mr. Bryan sought the nomi
nation himself. Mr. Bryan could have
prevented Parker's selection if he would
have stated that under no circumstances
would he accept the nomination for him
self. "The next Incident, and the one which
caused both friends and enemies of Mr.
Bryan to be astonished, was that portion
of the resolution asking that Mr. Ryan
of Virginia and Mr. Murphy, Mr. Bel
mont and Mr. Sheehan of New York be
expelled from their delegations. . The
reason that they were dumfounded was
because they knew that these gentlemen
contributed funds to Bryan's campaign
when he was a candidate and that he
worked with them. . On one occasion Mr.
Ryan contributed to his campaign $10,000
and at another time Mr. Sheehan gave
. T. S. , Allen, Bryan's brotherrln-law,
flS.000. Mr.' Murphy himself gave Mr.
Bryan 110,000. V-v , , . .

which caused the loss of more genuine
friends to. Mr. Bryan than anything he
ever did, was when he took the platform
to change his vote from Champ CUS
to Woodrow Wilson. Mr. Bryan's only
excuse for violating his Instructions frbm
the people of Nebraska was that New
Y6rk's vote went to Champ Clark, and
because of that fact' Champ Clark be
came contaminated. This explanation is
; not satisfactory to. Mr. ' Bryan's, friends.
Henry George, Jr., of New York, who
,has been a loyal, friend and one of Mr.
Bryan's electors when he ran for the
presidency, writes an open letter Mr.
Bryan demanding a better explanation.
There are thousands of others who would
like an explanation also.
"These men are wondering why Mr.
Murphy and the others were all good- and
pure men when they supported Mr. Bryan,
but became outlaws the moment-' they
supported Champ Clark. Mr. Bryan had
vouched for Champ Clark's loyalty to the
people and said it could not be questioned.
But Mr. Bryan knew when he was hurl
ing his insults at the speaker that he was
defeating his true and loyal friend, for
at that time the nomination of Champ
. Clark was In sight and the next' ballot
would have decided it. No man ever dealt
a friend a more cowardly and stealthy
diow ip me aam man .Bryan aean
. Speaker Clark on that occasion. ".;
. Who Made Wilson. . "
i - "To show Bryan's Inconsistency, I de
sire to call attention to the fact that the
nomination of Wilson was brought about
by Roger Sullivan and Tom Taggart, men
. who Bryan termed when he was not a
candidate as traitors and 'train robbers,
and when these gentlemen cast the vote
Fads for Weak Women

Sick Women Well.
It acts directly on the organs affected and is at the same time general restora

local treatment so universally insisted upon by doctors, and to abhorrent to
every modest woman. , ' , -.

ot their states for Wilson, Bryan said not
a word. Mr. Bryan knew he voted against
a man who came to the national conven
tion as the unquestioned choice of the
democratic primaries from Massachusetts
to California He knew that twenty-six
states and four, territories had declared
for Champ Clark. He had known Champ
Clark for twenty years and knew he was
his loyal friend when Wilson was writing
letters trying to find some way to knock
Bryan into a cocked hat.- Mr. Bryan will
have to give a better explanation than
the one he has made for assassinating
his old friend Champ Clark.
"I know he will receive the plaudits of
men and women who do not know the
real .. facts, but no man or woman can
commend the course of 'Bryan toward
Clark who is In full possession of the
facts. If they do they must put , a
premium on treachery, on disloyalty - to
friends. : Champ Clark and all other sea
soned politicians will acecpt.the verdict
and vote the ticket, because as good sol
diers they will accept the fortunes of
war, but it ts doubtful if the rank and
file can be kept in line." "
WHEAT CROP IN ADAMS
T ONE OF BEST HARVESTED
HASTINGS, 1 Neb., July 13.-Spectal.)-Reports
from early threshing Indicate
that the wheat crop In the south-central
part of the state is one of the heaviest
ever harvested. Although an average
yield of eighteen bushels per acre is con
sidered - good, the production In Adams
and adjoining counties this year will be
over twenty bushels . per acre, with a
range of from twenty-five to thirty on
the best cultivated farms. y ,
According to the reports thus far made,
Charles Bamberg of Kenesaw holds the
record for the 1912 harvest, having an
average of forty-two. bushels per acre,
Not only is the average yield heavy
throughout the section, but the crop tests
exceedingly well. The proprietors of. the
local mill say that for both quantity and
quality the crop will be the best ever
raised in this section.
From standing grain .to baked biscuit
fn three hours was the record made yes
terday with some wheat grown on Mrs.
William Kerr's farm a mile east of Hast
ings. The wheat was cut with a header
at 4 p. m., immediately hauled to a sepa
rator and threshed and delivered by auto
mobile to the mill at 5:45. Some of it was
ground into flour and in this form taken
to the home of J. C. Hedge, where it was
baked and served at 7 o'clock. . -
A few weeks ago the prospects for the
crop were discouraging, consequently the
local implement houses were cautious in
ordering binder twine. 1 The city's normal
supply of twine was exhausted on the
first two days of harvest. The dealers
used the mail, telegraph and telephone In
a vain effort to get more twine, all the
distributing points-Omaha, Lincoln, St
Joseph: Kansas City and other places be
ing, unable to make shipments. : Yesterday
a local deales got the first shipment
through and it was quickly sold out '

her, but it was the general notion that
because she had never had the experi

she must necessarily have used the wrong
bottle. She had been in the habit of
taking tincture of iron every day, but
this time she took a slightly larger doso
than she had been accustomed to and the
extreme pucker resulted. She at onco
thought she had secured the wrong bottle
