Sisters have a fancy for dressing
precisely alike, eve to the tying OF a
bow, the turn of a button or the flower
worn in the hair. In the tropics, you
know. large families are the fashion,
and any day you may see girls out IN
groups. of from three or four to a
bakers dozen. who belong to the same
parentage. as one glance at their
clothes will show. Thus it is easy to
distinguish the members of a family
anywhere. and not infrequently the
fair sisters are POLITICALLY called by
their favorite flower or color. For eX-

British Wool Growers Prosper at
Our Expense

All kinds of British agriculture is
in a very depleted condition except
sheep husbandry. This is tiou<ishing
now at the expense of American wool
growers.
Mark Lanes Express, speaking of
the British wool trade. says:
Wool is almost the only product
of British agriculture which may be
considered to have emerged from de-
preston. There was an active de-
mand for some kinds of English woods
last summer and autumn at satisfac-
Tory prices, higher. indeed. than had
been realized by tiock-masters in ii
great many proceeding years. This
advance in values. il is true, "a only
for certain kinds OF wool. while there
were others for which the advance was
very trifling. and when it is considcrd
that there are large sections of the
farming community which. through
not producing any large quantity ot
wool. are not materially interested in
the matter, the actual bearing OF the
favorable incident on agricultural de,
preston itself must not be ~overesti
mated. Still, it is gratifying to tinl
any product Of agriculture in thi,
country enhanced in value. and il i
to be hoped the advantage to the Lin
DIN iock-masters. and probably t,
some others. has been Of no meal

Bryan Committee Visits observation-disclosures

Bryan Committee Visits Nick
ton OF the Democratic Leader
CANTON, o., Aug. 1.-The first thing of
interest in this town yesterday, the day
the Nebraska candidate for the presidency
was to stop at the home of the Ohio can
didate. was the arrival in town of a COM
mittee from Rittsburg which, getting here
too early, put in the time with a visit to
the major. who received them courteously
and thanked them for their visit. They
told him that the candidate for president
of the United States was always a man
whom it was an honor to know, and he
told them that all parties desired the
honor and prosperity Of the American
government and people
Among the distinguished callers on Ma
ior Mckinley were the Hon. Richard p.
and Mrs. Bland. They came hero with the
committee from Pittsburg. Mr. and Mrs
Bland had gone TO Alliance, n city twenty
miles east of here, ahead of the Bryan
party, as it was Il part of the programme
to have speech of some length at that
place ny BRYAN. While there Bland was
told that an address would be made here,
and he was prevailed upon by the Pitts
burg committee to return to Canton. The
time spent at the Mckinley home by Mr..
and Mrs. Bland was apparently very
agreeable to both the honorcd callers and
to Major and Mrs. Mckinley.
These were TIE preliminaries to the ar
rival here of the Democratic candidate,
whose train rolled into the station at IL 30
and was received by very large crowd
from this city and the surrounding coun-
try. Bryan spoke from car near the sta
ton and said n number of pleasant and
graceful things about his political oppo-
nent. He did not forget, however. to say
that this was campaign of principles. not
men. and likened himself to the Good
Samaritan who rescued the man who had
fallen among thieves the inevitable logic
Of which was that Mckinley was one of
those who passed by on the other side''
and the American people was the man
fallen among thieves.
He said that there were plenty of his
own neighbors who would vote against
him mt Lincoln, Neb., and he only hoped
that every man would feel free to vote as
he pleased. He was loudly checred at the
close of his speech, which was made at a
point of much interest on his journey from
Chicago eastward. The W hole trip up to
this point had been like the one west of
Chicago, very gratifying one to Bryan.
All through Indiana there had been
crowds at each station and when Ohio
was reached there Were crowds at Dixon,
Dclphos. Lima, Lafayette, Bucyrus.
Crcstline and elsewhere. At several of
the towns he made brief speeches and at
, all he was enthusiastically cheered.

WHAT WALSH SAYS ABOUT FUSION.
How Watson Is To BE Turned Down by
the Bryan Forces.


OMAHA, Aug. ia special to The Bee
from Ottumwa, Ia, says: Before leaving
for New York to attend the first meeting
of the national Democratic committe c. A
Walsh, the temporary secretary, set at rest
great many of the rumors in regard to
the action of w. J. Bryan in reference to
his acceptance or refusal of the Populist
Endorsement. Bryan has caused it to be
given out ON several occasions that he
would not receive the Endorsement given
by the Populists unless his running mate,
SewaN, was also Endorsed This is true.
but it is also true that Bryan will not re-
fuse the Endorsement. AS the matter
then stands it will ne left with the indi-
vidual Populists to do as they choose on
casting their votes in each state
National committeeman will offer in
ducements to the Populists to secure
fusion on electors and they will secure in
this state this week complete fusion of
the electoral vote
If this fusion is accomplished there will
be no difficulty as regards the electors, for
they will be for Bryan and Scwall. II the
Populists demand electors for BRYAN and
Watson the Democrats will withhold their
fusion on state and congressional tickets
Bv the liberal use OF state and congress
sional offices they hope TO appcase the
Populists for the turning down of Wat
son, and the national Democratic commit
tee hopes to make this fusion in every
state on the electoral ticket
Should the contingency arise that the
Populisss will not indorse. then of course
there will be two sets of electors. with
Bryan's name at the head. Should there
be many Bryan and Watson electors
chosen it would create great deal of
power in the hands Of these Populist cleo.
