The plan is now to raise 100000 by
subscriptions among farmers and then
to 20 East and sell stock to the amount
Of $2OO,O0O. This 100000 will grade
the first 100 miles of the road from a

and then the offer of the capitalists to

Is Not Nor Never Has Been

Says Charges Have Been Con-

Challenges Accusers to Come

UPPER RED HOOK N. Y. Aug. TO-
William J. Bryan, Tor the first time
since Senator John M. Thurston, as al
legged, declared that he (Bryan) was in
the employ Of mine owners, made an
official denial, coupled with challenge
to the national Republican committee
to come out in the open and accuse him
or forever be silent.
Mr.. Bryan's attention had been
called to the controversy between Son.
ators Thurston and Stew:r't nd he
determined to settle the matter 2 pos
sible. He, therefore, demands an open
charge which he says he will refute
with details Of his private life and his
financial affairs, or silence. He said:
I have already denied this charge on sew
cral occasions, but the reit Grafton of it by
Senator Thurston, a distinguished resi-
dent of my own state, justifles me in an

time or under any circumstances, been in
the employ Of any mine owners, individu-
ally or collectively, directly or indirectly,
nor have I ever been in the employ Of or
paid by any Bimetallic League associa-
ton.
Who're His Income Comes From.
Aside from my editorial salary of about
ESQ per month, paid by the Omaha
World-Herald, and small amount de-
rived from the legal profession, my in
come since my retirement from congress
has been derived entirely from lectures
before Chautauqua Lyceum and lecture
bureaus, which have usually paid me a
fixed sum, and from contributions made
by the people of the localities where I
have spoken. In some instances have
received nothing at all. In most cases
have received more thar enough to pay
travelling expenses. In only two in
stances, think, has my compensation
exceeded 800, and in these instances it
was about 500 at one place and about $500
at the other. Having made this answer
to Mr.. Thurston's letter, shall hereafter
take no notice of individual or newspaper
comment on the subject. If the Repub-
lican national committee will say Off
cially that have ever been employed to
deliver speeches by any mine owner, a
group of mine owners, or by any associa-
ton supported by mine owners, am
ready to make statement showing in de-
tail all the money received by me for

Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and other
stations have shown that rape may be
grown on any soil which will produce
corn or wheat, and it does not need
warm weather for it's perfection. The
least desirable soils for rape arc stiff
clays or impoverished land, while it
seems to thrive best on muck soils.
It is necessary to take some pains to
secure good seed, as much Of the rape

age purposes. To provide M abundant
supply of readily available plant food
