An unusually spirited debate made The
lyceum exercises OF special interest Fri
day afternoon.
The effect upon the country which the
election OF Candidate Bryan would have
was the subject.
Martin Thorsen and Miss Hattie Mason
had the affirmative, claiming that the
county would be benefited, while Edward
Small and Miss Nellie Mullan We're
equally positive that the result would be
disastrous.
The arguments OF the principals We're
we'll written and greatly enjoyed by the
audience, but the excitement came when
some OF the other members, who were
we'll supplied with statistics regarding
the tariff, free silver, sound money and
the respective platforms of the different
parties, began to warm up in discussion.
The extemporaneous speakers We're
many, and lively, witty and intelligent
debate was made.
Harry Rowe, Miss Etfie Davis and Miss
Nellie Mullan were appointed com
mittee TO decide upon the merits OF the
argument. They reported in favor OF
Small and Miss Mullan, the advocates of
sound money and protection.
An aye and nay vote, taken by the
lyceum to decide the merits of the ques
ton, also went against free silver by l6
majority.
The other exercises consisted of music
by Misses Parsons, knowlton and Pratt
and by Herbert Monag han; declarations
by Miss Moore, Miss Nevells, NJ ISIS Almeda

Terrible Experience Of Man With Lead
In His Skull.

The Roentgen rays have just been the
means of proving the sanity of a man
who had been interned for over four
years as a mGdman.

shooting himself with revolver. lie

weeks was discharged cured.
After bis discharge he returned, COM

ing that be had a bullet in bis head. 1he
doctors refused 10 believe him, but as he
kept constantly repeating bis statement,
he was treated as a madmsn and locked
up in the NietIehen Lunacy Asylum.
Here he remained four years, as moth
ing could shake his faith in the fact
that he had a bullet in his brain.
Finally, thanks to the efforts of tho chap
lain, he consented to cease from insist
ing on the matter, and was discharged
as cured, being warned, however, that IL
mo should allow his "fxed idea" TO again
get possession of him, he would be
again locked up.
When released from the luns;ic asylum
he camo to Berlin. Here well-known
DOCTOR who had heard OF his case ex-
amined his head with Roentgen rays
and discovered that the unfortunate
mans story was perfectly true.
The bullet was i'm bedded in the skull
just above the right eye, so that the un-
fortunate man had been imprisoned four
years In madhouse for declaring what
was a perfect fact.--Berliner Tageblatt.

dining ball where as good a clam dinner
as there is provided on earth was eaten.
The National Party represents the first

was organized by those delegates to the
Prohibition Convention at Pittsburg
who objected to the liquor question re-
naming a dominant issue for the Pro-
hibitlon Party. The National Party Is
made up of the "broad gauge" Prohibit

succeeded in ruling both the national
convention and the Rhode Island con-
veption but the polters appear to have no
uncomfortable strength both here at
home and throughout the country. The
boilers claim to be the original and
only consistent ProhIbitionists.
We esteem the broad gaugers as men
