THE SUN CURE.
Here Is n German Doctor Who Compcls
His Patients to Go Naked


Right on the heels of the Kneippe cure,
which obliges the people to walk ON the
grass in their bare feet and TO apply
water to the skin in other disagrceable
ways, comes still more extraordinary
cure" which robs man of all his clothes
ana sends him walking about absolutely
naked, says the New York journal. This
return to primitive nudity is prescribed
by German physician, and put into prac-
tlce In his sanitarium in the mountains
OF Carolina, near Trieste. There he gives
his patients sun baths OH huge scale,
The treatment consists in exposing the
patients entirely nude to the rays of the
sun. But the patients must not alone
bask in the rays of the sun. He is Obliged
to walk about naked in the open air, to
indulge in exercise take his meals and
mingle with his friends thus disrobetl.
The patient must go naked in all wealth
ers; nothing must stop him.
Neither rain, wind, nor snow will be
accepted by this German doctor us an ex-
cuse for allowing his patients to put on
their clothes. Only the local policemen
have succeeded in making the patients
return to the ways OF civilization.

day. The friends of Bryan occasionally
chailed Mckinley man, and vice versa,

NOVEMBER.
THE PEOPLES. CHOICE.

The great battle of ballots was ioi ned
yesterday, ana at this writing. lit is not
known which side has triumphcd. ALI
that bluster, braggadocio and the lavish
use of money could do to accomplish the
election of Mckinley has been done by
the monopolists and millionarcs, who
were among his chief supporters III the
campaign just closed Bryan, OH the
other hand, relied only on the Justice of
his cause and his own unconquerable will
in his conduct of the ca vass, and while
grateful to all the friends who rallied
around him, he accepted without complain
ing the numerous dcscrtions among those
bound by all the ties of honor and graft
tude to stand by the nominees of the
Democratic party. 1t is all over now,
however, and by tonight the people will
i'll all probability know who the men are
that have been elected by the people Pres
idant and NicePresilent OF the United
States. <.iSTss9
Whether successful or not, it must he
admitted that Mr.. = Bryan has, made a
magnificent canvass He has flashed
across the country like a meteor, charm
ing millions with his cloQuence, convnc-
ing them by his logic, and ovccoming all
prejudice by the briliancy of his oratory
and the magnetism of his personal pres
ence. Everything points to his election
as President yesterday but. should the
combined wealth and power of the mil
lionaircs syndicatcs and trusts f.s.the
country succeed in .smothering the voice
of the people this time. the good work
will continue for four years longer, when
all the forces that his opponent may ar
ray against him viii! not be able to pre-
vent William Jennings Bryan, of Nebras-
ka, from being elected CHEZ magistrate
of this great republic.
Success is sure to come eventually to
the advocates of the free coinage of silver,
and with it the election of Mr.. Bryan to
the Presidency. He cmbodies within
himself all the aggressive properties of
this unyelding principle, and has shown
in the wonderful canvass just concluded
that he is the specially ordained leader of
the people in this great crusade against
wealth and corruption. Ali over the
land his image will live in the minds of
the people who have seen him during his
remarkable tour,and as time grows on he
will grow in strength and popularity No
such leader has appeared in this country
since the days of Washington. Other
men have been the idol of the people of
special localities or particular sections,
but it is only in the Nebraska Statesman
that a man has lately arisen who com
mands the love ana admiration of men

9ssrs were found in tneir possession, but
they escaped punishment by twist of
the law that served them in good stead.
The law specifically states that cray
fish or Holsters must not be taken when
weighing less than one pound. The de-
Pendants were found with certain fish
in their possession that fell under the
ban of the law. and in the complaint filed
by the district attorneys office they
were charged with having illegally taken
HOLSTERS" Now. it is alleged that there
are no Holsters at San Pedro or any
where else on this coast and 1t was con-
tended by counsel for the defense that
the fish in question were crawfish. 1t
is true that crawfish as well as Holsters
are made taboo" when under one pound
in weight, but as the men were charged
with having HOLSTERS" illegally in their
possession the prosecution had to stand
or fall by that allegation. 1t fell.
The case was tried before jury and
received an added interest by reason of
a spat between Fl. H. Appel, esq.,, and

good or bad law. There is such a thing,
