heard William j. Bryan make short
speech in Iowa, and says it is most
wonderful what enthusiasm there is
among the common people for the
young silver champion. Mr.. Harrison
thinks the crop outlook is better in
Kansas than in Missouri; Iowa will
have an immense corn and hay crop,
but oats were greatly injured by the

Those who had spring gowns made quite up-to-

their models showed And the style of skirt
