Used Bottled Breath.

Mountain climbers will be interested
to learn of the successful experiments
of DIR. Berson, of Stassfurt, who by
means of bottled breath" has been en-
abled to ascend to great heights, both
on land and in a balloon. The doctor
when endeavoring to get further above
the level of the sea than anyone else
has ever climbed or flown, carries along
a cylinder of compressed oxygen, fitted
with tube for breathing. Wheneve1
he experiences discomfort on account OF
the rarity of the atmosphere a few
whiffs from the cylinder suffices to re-
store him.

cause OF his opposition to the Chicago
platform, and because of the reputa.
tion as an orator which he had earned
by his participation in the tariff de-
bates of two congresses, and by his
famous protest against the nomination
of Mr.. Cleveland, delivered at day
break In the convention of four years
ago.
Eighteen thousan nd seats had been
placed in the garden, and all OF them
were filled when Mr.. Cochran adj
vanced to the front of the platform
and was greeted by tremendous
cheers, men climbing upon their chairs
and waving little American flags
which had been strewn through the
hall. Three hearty cheers were given
FOR Mckinley, and there were Kisses
when a gallery god yelled, whats
the matter with Bryan?"
Mr.. Cochran arralgned the Chicago

guage. He declared that the Demo
cratic party had been led into tho
Populist camp and that 1t was tho
duty of true Democrats to balk. He
scored the income tax plank of the
Chicago platform and called the
supreme court criticism treason. Con-
cluding he said:
stripped of all verbal disguise, 1t
is an issue of common honesty, an
issue between the honest discharge
and the dishonest reputation of pub
lie and private obligations.
"This is a conspiracy between pro-
3essional farmers, who want to pay
low wages, and the unreconciled
STAKEHOLDER, who would like to pay
no wages at all. Here is the real root
of this conspiracy. Mr.. Bryan did
not create it. No man can create q
movement like this. The forces that
have created it are active and have
been working in thousand different
directions. Mr.. Bryan, representing
this theory, is but like a drop of
water on the crest of the wave, more
conspicuous, but no more important
than the millions of drops that forms
its base. The Populistic movement is
the attempt of these professional
farmers, of these men who are un-
willing to share with the laborer, to
appeal to their greed. They are an
enemy to public order; they are an OBJ
stacle to progress; they are conspira-
tors against the peace and prosperity
of the industrial masses of the
country.

About June 1, after his return

her. Other letters followed.
A partial investigation was made
before the presiding elder at Kansas

from contributions made by the peo-
