In the history of this country no oppor-
tunity was ever known equal to that now
presented for the purchase of real estate,
whether houses, town lots or farms AZ
ter 50 long II depression there must be a
rise, and it will first come in real estate,
That is true of all previous dcprcssons
and panics. Real estate first falls because
men have to have money to meet the early
demands of depression. They sell or
mortgage, and much of either depressos
prices.
When better times show that they are
coming real estate is the first to rise.
Why Because only partially restored
confidence seeks the safest security for its
money. This is the law, ana it is alto.
gctncr reasonable. and this is the time to
buy by all vino can spare the money or
have the credit to do it. With Mckinley's
election confidence will surely be restored,
and his chances are as a hundred to one
for Bryan. That is all the risk there is in
buying now, and the man who has not the
money and cannot venture will not make
more than bare interest upon his funds

Mystery Of Two Little Oettonwoods on the
South Dakota Prairie.


The construction crew Of western
railroad was at work for some days at
one place near Pierre, s. D., and the
roadmaster in charge planted two tiny
cottonwood shoots in the baked soil at
the side Of the track which was being
constructed Nothing was ever known
to grow where they were planted but
the curling buffalo grass and the wiry
bunch grass, which came up with the
moisture of the melting SHOWS of spring
and soon withered and curled under the
whitening heat Of the summer sun, no
moisture coming to refresh the baked
and parched plain on which the little
shoots were planted,
No one ever expected the shoots to
live, but the roadmaster devoted great
deal Of attention to them while his
work kept him in that vicinity. Shortly
after this the roadmaster was killed in
oil accident, and the trainmen kept
watch of the two trees to sec how long
they would stand tho terrible drought
which was curling all other vegetation
in that part Of tho world. But they
grew and thriyed, and from what source
the roots drew sufficient moisture to
sustain their vigorous growth is one of
tho mysteries. All summer long the air
is a veritable breath Of the Sahara and
the earth Is baked and burned, still new
err leaf droops or cuTs. The trees
have attained a sturdy growth and the

FREDERICK, Md, Aug. 27-The Repub-

adopted resolutions indorsing John G.
Motter for Congress and elected delegates
and alternates to the congressional con-
yention, which meets September 0 at Oak

Pandenomium soon after broke loose,
Yelling men surged upon the stage,
clamoring for Motter and Haffner
Motter was yainly appealing for order
when George Bruno, 8 POVERTY. Quilt man

Mottef:: W, Motters friends, considering
the ecrion of Bruno as in tho nature of
threat, rushed to his rescue. Robert
pelautcr dealt Bruno blow which
knocked him down into the auditorium,
where men jumped upon him and stamp
ed him amid screams and shouts.
The widest kind of excitement now
prevailed. 1t was reign of brute force.
Men were kicked, knocked and thumped
around like rigs. Chairs aud canes and
umbrellas were flying right and left.
In the midst Of the scrimlnage Fuller B.

City, blow over the head that laid him
out, giving him a bad scalp wound from
which the blood flowed freely. Frenzied
by excitement, Rice again whirled his
heavy oak chair and brought it down with
great force on the head of Daniel 4. Bur.

hall to have them dressed and remove

During the excitement calls were made
upon the she riff and police for protection.
Many mon rushed pell-mell for the doors
and windows, expecting every moment to
be knocked down by flying chairs.
Peace was finally restored by Sheriff A.
Y. Mcbride and his deputies ejecting Bruno
from the hall.
