FOR PRESIDENT,
w. j. BRYAN,
OF NEBRASKA.

MANY OF our Republican ex-
changes are charging the Demo.
cratic press with attempting to
obstruct the good times (s) which
have struck The country since the
election or Mckinley, and that we
would be glad To see business con.
tinue dull. The papers making
these charges are the ones who
are really relardIng the business
OF the country by publishing false
reports OF the factories that are
beiug opened up and thousands of
men Obtaining employment at flag
stations ON many or the railroad
lines OF the country, where the
whole community consists OF two
or three houses. The y roads store
and a blacksmith shop. If that is
The way prosperity and confidence
Is to he restored we fear that we
will have a long time to wait ere
1T strikes us. But, then, many
factories that closed down before
the election have been opened up
and are now running double time
i'll order to fill orders placed before
. they closed down and many more
received while the men were living
idle waiting for Mckinley to be
elected. But remember this, that
Just as SOou as all back orders
have been filled forces will have
to be reduced or men work on half
time. One instance we call to
mind was that of the Waltham
Watch factory several months be-
fore the election closing down for
lack of orders. as they said, but
only few weeks after had To re-
sumo work with an increased force
on accOant of the rush Of work.
and 1t Will be found before the
winter is over that the large fac
tories that have Increased the
number OF their hands and are
now working double time. are in
the same fix the Waltham Watch
co. was in. and that the present
Hurry is not substantial. let us
he honest about these matters. 1t
Is as much To the interest of Dem
ocratS as it is to Republicans to
lavd good times, and we should
pull together to accomplish that re
suit.

EVOLUTION OF THE WHISTLE.
Locomotive Screechers Were First Sug-
gested by Tin Toy.

LOCOMOTIVE ScreecnerS were SuS-
gested by a Tin Toy.
When the locomotives were first built
and began to trundle their small loads
up and down the newly and rudely con-
structed railways of England the pub
lie roads were, for the greatest part,
crossed at grade, and the engine driver
had no way of giving warning of his ap-
proach except by blowing tin horn.
But this, as may be imagined, was far
from being a sufficient warning. One
day in the year 1888, so runs story of
the origin of the locomotive whistle,
q farmer of Thornton was crossing the
railway track on one of the country
roads with great load of eggs and
butter. Just as he came out upon
the track a train approached. The
engineman blew his tin horn Justify.
but the farmer did not hear it. Eighty
dozen eggs and so pounds of butter
were smashed into an indistinguish
able, unpleasant mass, and mingled
with the kindling wood to which the
wagon was reduced. The railway COM
pany had to pay the farme, the value

his horse and his wagon. 1t was regard
ed as a very serious matter, and
straightway director of the company
went to Alton Grange, where George
Stephenson lived, to see if he could not
invent something that would give a
warning moro likely to be heard. Steph-
enson went to work and the next Gay
had a continuance which, when at
tached to the engine boiler and the
steam turned on, gave out shrill, dis
cordant sound. The railway directors,
greatly delighted, ordered similar con-
trivances to be attached to all the To-
comotives, and from that day to this
the voice of the locomotive whistle has
never been silent.-Cassier's Magazine.
