THE BRYAN FAMILY.
The Statement That the Family Name
was O'Bryan Refuted.

Tho Statement That the Family Name
was O'BryRn Refuted.
CULPEPPER, Va, July 1s.-The state
ment from j. Harvey O'Brien, of Port
land, Ore, to the effect that the name
of the democratic presidential nominee
is really O'Bryan, and was changed by
him at the time he began to practice
law in Lincoln, Neb., is wholly with
out foundation.
William Bryan, the great-grand-
father of the nominee, came to this
county in 1852 from the lower part Of
the state, acquiring large tracts of land
here and becoming prominently identi-
fed with the county. His name in the
deeds for these lands is Bryan, and his
last will and testament, which was adj
mitted to record July 81, 1906, is signed
William Bryan. An old church built
by him upon his land. and known as
the Bryan meeting house, is still stand
ing.
John T. Bryan, the grandfather Of
the candidate, moved from this county
to Illinois about 1880 or 1885, when
SiIas Bryan, the candidates father,
was boy about twelve years old.
William Jennings Bryan, his father,
his grandfather and great-grandfa-
ther spelled their names Bryan. The
organs intermarried with some of the
prominent families of this county, and
have a number of blood relations liv-
ing here. This is authentic, having
been taken from the records of the
county.

McKinley's admirers made haste TO
give him an opportunity TO make some
remarks regarding the Coliseum per-
Torrance, and ne improved the opportu-
nifty without hesitation in the style TO
which he is addicted.
The Coliseum crowd had just COM
pleted its unique job by nominating he
Maine protectionist, all-around monop-
olist and bosom friend of Senator Frye
and the late Mr.. Blaine, when a Foraker
club drew up before the Canton joss
house and elected ''timely" speech
from the occupant of that shrine.
After uttering gundry words in very
solemn and impressive style about a
struggle greater than that of the civil
war-a struggle to preserve the honor
of the government. contest in which
patriotism is above party and national
honor isdearer than any party name
the great oracle went on TO say:
THE currency and credit of the govern
ment are good now and must be kept
good forever. Our trouble Is not with the
character of the money that We have, but
with the threat to debase it. We have
good the world over and unquestioned by
any people"
Here we have the same ignorance of
economic principles, the same ignoring
of notorious facts, that have character
lied all of McKinley's utterances ON the
currency question.
The republican candidate is una Gle to
see anything amiss in the system VIII 4ch
eliminated in the act of 1890 providing
for the purchase of silver with a new
emission of legal tender notes and pro-
ducing the disastrous panic of 1898.
Our currency was not good the world

in 1892. The silver act of 1890, in the
passage of which Mckinley took an act

caused a reduction of more than $780,

fore the presidential election of 1892.
BY the admission of far ADLER re-

All competent judges know that our
currency has been unsound ever since

They know that its unsoundness was
confirmed and perpetuated by the half
repeal of the resumption act in 1873 and
the provision that redeemed legal ten
ders should not be extinguished.

ST. LOUIS, July 17.-Wm. J. Bryan
arrived here from Salem, Ill, at s:45 a

western railroad. 1t was a sleepy
The train was an ordinary accom-
mediation, and had no parlor cars at
tached. At several stations Mr.. Bryan
stepped from the train and shook
hands with early risers who had as
sembled to greet him. At Carlyle. Ill,
where the first stop was made, about
fifty people grasped his hand. Mayor
Webb, who headed the contingent at
the little town of Lebanon, Ill, ac-
companicd the party to st. Louis
At East st. Louis several hundred
people were assem- bled, and their cheers
caused Mr.. Bryan to step to the plat
form of the station and make a few
remarks.
II can understand" he said, your
curiosity TO see presidential candi-
date. I've been there myself" This
caused a laugh. He told thea he
hoped the sight of him would enable
them to form satisfactory opinions
His father-in-law, he said, had say
ing that you can't tell how far the
frog can jump without seeing him do
it, but he wanted to say that he and
Mr.. Sewall believed in the platform on
which they stood and believed in car
rying out its provisions to the very
Iaffar no n "a
outlined in it were good and should be
carried. Mr.. Bryan quoted saying
of Bismarck, that the farmers should
stand together and protect themselves
from the drones who produce nothing
but law.
This gave Mr.. Bryan the opportuni-
ty to pay little compliment to the
producing classes, and he concluded by
remari6ing that if he talked any longer
he would be drawn into a speech.
AS the train rolled out of the station
preparatory to crossing the big bridge
over the Mississippi river, Mr.. Bryan
was given a parting salute by the doz-
ems of locomotive whistles. Tine train
reached the Union station in st. Louis
at s:45 a. m. About 5000 people had
assembled, and when Mr.. Bryan APP
pered on the platform, leaning on the
arm of Col. Nicholas NJ. Bell, of this
city, he was given three hearty cheers.
In the pushing and jostling of the
crowd, Mr.. Bryan became separated
from his wife and children. He mount
ed chair and the crowd began clam
oring for speech. Mr.. Bryan smil-
ingly replied: Il am looking for that
which is dearer to me than all else
my wife and children. Iwould be glad
to make a speech, but, like all other
people, we must eat. Having but
few minutes in which to satisfy our
hunger, hope you will kindly excuse
me if do not make speech at this time.

and feel sure that if you keep up this

A Cordial Meeting and Exchange of Com

pIIments I'm Route.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-. July 17.-Mr.
Bryan arrived here at 1910 p. IN. just
as the train was drawing out of the
station at st. Louis the most interest
ing incident of the trip occurred.
Richard p. Bland had boarded the
train in the Union station, but he kept
himself in forward car until the train
had started. He entered the parlor car
in which the Bryan party had seats and
made his way to where Mr.. Bryan was
standing. Mr.. Bland wore a linen
buster over a suit of black clothes.
He stretched out his hand toward the
the latter and there was the warmest
handgrasp between the victor and the
defeated. How are you, Mr.. Bryan?
/ congratulate YOU" said Mr.. Bland.
chow are you. Mr.. Bland? Thank
you," cried Mr.. Bryan warmly.
You nomination took big load off
my mind" said Mr.. Bland warmly.
Mrs. Bryan was presented to the vet
eran of free silver, and after some gen.
eral conversation, the two men with
drew to a corner and talked earnestly
together for some time. Within an
hour later there was some additional
exchange of cordially between Bland
and Bryan.
The train stopped at little place
called Washington, where knot of
people had gathered to see the nomi-
nee. Standing on the platform of the
parlor car with Mr.. Bryan beside him,
Mr.. Bland said to the crowd:
IL want to introduce to you the next
president of the United States. l served
four years with him in the house of rep
resentatives, and know he is as true
a friend of free silver as l am, and
I want to say that if had had the
selection of the silver candidate for
president of the United States, this
gentleman would have been my
choice"
Mr.. Bryan showed some feeling as
be responded.
IF this nomination had gone by
merit" he said, lit would have gone to
the man who for 90 years, in the face
of great opposition, has kept alive the
silver cause, and in the hour of vic.
tory he will be more entitled to the
credit than any other man in the
nation"
Mr.. Bryan told the audience that
circumstances and not merit had been
the cause of his selection, and he closed
with the statement that had Mr..
Bland secured the nomination he would
have had no more loyal supporter in
the United States than l."
This incident was repeated at Cham
DIS, where Mr.. Bland presented Mr..
Bryan to about a hundred people in
the same language he had used at
Washington. Mr.. Bryan in turn said:
eff my loyalty to the cause OF
the PEOPLE is ever questioned
there is no man on whose Ger.
tifcate / would sooner rely than
upon the certificate of Richard P.
Bland" Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Bland in.
dulged in some pleasantries with the
crowd. and when somebody proposed
three cheers for Bland, Mr.. Bryan led
The hurrah, waving his white hat
above his head. Mr.. Bland left the
party at jefferson City.

There Were Cold Days In Those Times Oh

For centuries the north was an ice

interrupted only by the crashing OF
the ice as pieces broke from this end
of the glacier beyond the narrows and'
as icebergs, foated out to sea.
Ages had now passed since man nrst
appeared in his primeval home. Some
progress the race had made, but man
was still rude and untutored savage;
his crude weapons were only pieces OF
roughly-chipped stone, but it was man
with progressive and endless mind. And
as the years passed the rude paleolithic
ancestor gave place to men with
higher degree of primitive art; flint
tipped arrows and axes of stone now
gave man the mastery over every ami
NAL; food was no longer a matter OF
chance. but matter of skill. Still, at
war with the elements, wild beasts and
savage neighbors, it was fearful
struggle; the world at the best was
then no garden of Eden.
For 90, 600 years or more the ice, with
its various advances and retreats, COW
cred the north. Then began its final
departure, but it was probably as slow
in going as it-had been in coming. The
land began to gradually sink, the win

longer.-Lippincott's

ing an accident occurred, in which two
members of the Italian side show
band were fatally injured. The band
wagon was drawn by eight spirited
horses which became frightened at an
approaching train as they neared the
Fort Wayne railway bridge. The
driver, David DEMO, saw that the
vehicle would not clear the bridge,
but was unable to check The horses
pace, although he stuck to the lines
until caught between the bridge and
and wagon. Six men were injured
and the band wagon was dyed with
blood from their wounds. Following

HANNA.s POOL AND PRoFI1,s.
McKinIey's Manager Has Pull ON the
Trusts.

McKinIey's Manager Has Fun On Ems
Trusts.
The Philadelphia Press recently COM
planned because the new iron ore pool
had increased the price of ore by IS per
cent. without increasing the wages CT
the mine worl<men. This enthusiastic
supporter of SIr. Mckinley and Mr.HaE
was pointing out that the tariff duties
on iron and steel products were IN dan
ger because of the number and the exac-
tions of the combinations recently
formed in the iron and steel industry
'sThe various iron and steel trades,
said our Mckinley contemporary,
(which are raising prices by combina-
ton may find themselves stripped OF all
protection" We quote also the follow
ing:
1.-The iron ore combination has advanced
prices ard not wages. It is un1ustlnaoLe
The steel billet combination, Ike that n
ore, by raising prices, has apected al
branches Of steel manufacture. 1t has add
ed to the cost of the farmers steel wire
The prices of a long list Of articles to the
consumer will be advanced by its action.
But the Press must know that Mr..
Hanna, who organized the iron ore pool.
needed money for the expenses of Mr..
McKinley's canvass. Mr.. Hanna is the
president of he Chaplin Iron company,
which owns the great Chaplin mine.
This mine stands second on the list of
ore producers, and its output last year
was $4,000 tons. The pool advanced
prices on the basis of an increase from
$500 to 81 per ton for Bassemer ore.
The Chaplin mine had its allotted share
of this increase, and Mr.. Hanna is in
terested in other iron mines.
It is plain that the increase of about
one dollar per ton has very preceptibly
enlarged Mr. Hanna's income. AS we
have said, he wanted money for McKin-
iey's canvass. He said few days ago
that the canvass had cost him 100000
and that only $4,000 had been con-
tributed by other friends of his candi-
date Well, the additional profits OF
his investment in the Chaplin mine and
other iron mines and associated in
terests, procured by means of the pools
increase of price, have at least been
equal, we presume, to his expenditures
on McKinley's account.
IF it il true, as the Philadelphia Press
asserts, land the Press is his friend and
McKinley's friend,) tina: he and his pool
associates did not increase wages, why
should the Press complain? Was not
the money, or part of it, spent in pro-
curing the nomination of "the advance
