BRYAN'S FATHER PRAYED.
frequently Adjourned Court to Get
Down on His Knees in Prayer.

Salem, Ill, July 15-Every day one
hears amusing stories of Judge Bryan,
Mr.. Bryan's fatherl The judge appears
to have been q vigorous old fellow and
in many ways rather eccentric. Ac-
cOrding to Colonel T E Merritt. who is
a brother of General Wesley Merritt
Z. S. A, Judge Bryan was dangerously
i'll shortly after reaching Illinois and at
that time made vow that if the Lord
would spare his life he would bow his
head in prayer and Thanksgiving to
him three times a day as long as he
lived, and the judge kept his word.
Said Colonel Merritt: I have seen
him many and many a time when a
case in court was being argued before
him take out his watch at noon, stop
the proceedings, get down on his knees
before the bench and offer up a prayer
1t became SO common that we never
thought anything of it, but it used to
cause some comment among strangers
when they would happen to be in the
court ROOM
The judge was twice a member of the
Illinois senate and once a member of
the state constitutional convention He
was twice nominated for congress and
could have been elected, but would not
allow the use of a single cent for cam
paign purposes.
w. J. Bryan, the presidential candi-
date, has many of his fathers charac-
teristics from a religious point of view.
Every time he comes to his old home
he attends services at the Presby-
terrain church, where the Rev. Dr.
Shrowts has been pastor for a score of
years or more.
Last Sunday his old pastor announced
to the congregation that he had taken it
upon himself to send a telegram in the
name of the congregation congratulate
ing their fellow brother in Christ upon
the honor he has received. He then
pronounced a few words of praise and
communication upon the character of
Mr. Bryan. briefly reviewing his career
from the time he left Salem until he
was nominated for president.

After reporting these cases DR. Ne
Ct1ntOck said: AT Valley Falls YOU
will find more cases of thyroid disease
than is to be found over the entire
state. There are other places in the
state where the disease is common, in
WabaunSee county and around Mar

as at Valley Falls. It is said that the
lime in the water causes the disease
at least the disease is always common

it is a germ disease, and that it will

MAY STUMP FOR BRYAN.
Judge Wallace of California Thinking
of Resigning to Do So.

San Francisco, July 15--Superior
Judge VIM. T. Wallace, it is said, is
about to resign his place on the bench
and take the stump for Bryan and
silver with the prospect Of a cabinet
pIace-any portfolio he pleased-offered
to him by the Democratic managers
for California.
Investigation shows that such an Of
fer has been made and formally declin-
ed, but that Judge Wallace is still
thinking it over and may be induced to
change his mind The Bryan managers
are hopeful of Wallace and are prOnfs-
ing him that he may have anything in
the Nebra skan's gift if he will labor in
the field to place California in the free
coinage column.
