ON THE ROAD WITH BRYAN.
SPICY LETTER FROM MIR. ToMLINsoN
Inside Facts Which the Press Reports Have Not Touched-The Great Nom-
 inee Is in Fine Fix.

Below is published an extract from a private letter from Hon. John w. Tom linson, member of the national demo- cratic advisory committee, who is now travelling with MT. Bryan at his request on his triumphant trip through the west:
 Burlington, Ia., Oct. s, 1896. "Hon. J. A. Rountree. Birmingham,
 Ala
 Dear Rountree: As you know, met MT. Bryan at Nashville by appointment, and at the request of the committee am travelling with him. I took Congressman McMillin's place, who had to leave the party al Nashville. MT. Bryan spoke at three different places in Nashville, and didn't get to bed till about o'clock, but since then he has been allowed to get from six to eight hours sleep every night MT. Bryan is feeling well, looking well and speaks with his accustomed vigor He must have spoken to 250,000 people in his two days tour through Indiana.
 "The demonstration at Indianapolis was beyond anything ever saw. Indiana is absolutely safe. The heart of the peo- pie is with Bryan.
 Last night as our car was being coupled to another train I heard a rail- road man say: Make that coupling with out jarring; MT. Bryan must get his rest I knew that railroad man was a Bryan man. At one stop some railroad em- plOyeS were TeQulTet, as l Wds tOlu, to wear Mckinley badges. They wore them, but up side down.
 At another stop quite number had big punches of golden rod on their coats But as MT. Bryan stopped his speech saw not a few tear the golden rod from their coats and make towards Bryan in a wild effort to grasp his hand or touch his clothes
 "Bryan's earnestness is what carries the crowd with him. Let none of our friends fear that Bryan will break down. There is no danger. He is stronger than when he started and he is taking care of himself. The people are considerate, and when their attention is called to the necessity for his rest between appoint ments, readily enter in to plans to that end.
 MT Campau chairman of the cam paign committee, told me last night at Chicago that everything was working ad- mirably; that the most encouraging re- ports were coming in from all parts of the country; that he was certain of vic- tory. It has been arranged that MT. Bry- an shall not commence speaking so early in the day, and he gets one days rest besides Sunday week. We go through this state today; reach Fargo, N. D., to- morrow night, St. Paul Saturday night Duluth Monday. Then, after day or so in Michigan, he will return to Indiana and Illinois I have asked the committee to releaye me at Duluth If so, will re- turn to Alabama, making a few speeches on my way through Illinois,
 Trust we all are getting along all right at home. Yours truly,
 JOHN w. TOMLINSON.
 ''P. S.-Much against my inclination have been forced to make several speeches along the route"

The parcel duly arrived and remained there for over a year, MP Bennett, meantime, never put ting in an appearance. Suddenly, with out any notice, he rushed in one morning evidently In state of great perturbation The staff concluded that they were all to be discharged on the spot. MT. Bennett excitedly asked Have those confound- ed fellows sent my shirts along?" He never even alluded to the lapse of time which had occurred since his last visit.

THE BUFFALO BUG is HERE.


Much has been said and written about
the dreaded buffalo bug, but the house
keepers of Ellsworth are not yet well
acquainted with the pest. THE AMER1-
CAN is informed, how ever, that an insect
s,.,,,osta 10 DC the buffalo bug, has
already made its appearance in this city
While they have not appeared in any
great numbers, the fact that So unwelco:ue
visitor is here at all is alarming The
follow ing hints from Housekeeper as how
to discover and destroy the pest may be
timely, and of use to Ellsworth house
keepers:
I'VE hear much OF the official efforts to
prevent the spread of the gypsy moth,
but ii really seems as il the buffalo bug
was quite as much, or more, of Il pest,
and required quite as much attention. II
it should become very much more com
mon han it already is, il may actually
affect trade, for unless he accounts of its
rsvages are very much exaggerated, peo-
pie will become unwilling to buy costly
clothing or upholstery, il there is every
chance of its being soon ruined.
Indeed, the destructiveness OF the
buffalo bug does not stop at clothing and
upholstery, but extends to paper, leather,
silk. and. indeed. TO almost everything.
II / he pest is to be rooted out, or even
kept within bounds, housekeepers ought
to know more about the means of keep
ing a house clear OF these bugs than they
seem to know now. MANY OF them see
them occasionally doing mischief in the
houses, and make only slight and insult
ficirnt attempts to destroy them, forget
ting that every house which becomes in
tested helps to spread the nuisance abroad
over the community.
The first rule is: watch for the bugs.
Do not wait for them to appear, which
they are not apt to do till they have done
mischief At the very time thatI myself
was dreading to find them in NV house
they had been peacefully living in it for
at least a year. When a dress had been
found quite ruined, | had considered
that he damage wa. done by moths and
never discovered the buffalo bugs in that
closet and one other til a wear after.
Then consulted the apot hecarv and NV
neiehbors and wasted much labor and
considerable money in following their
directions, but the bugs were stillinthose
closets wear later.
"Finalv have learned what to do.
and can advise others. When YOU find
ANYTHING eaten. look for those cobwebby
white marks left bv the moth worm II
YOU do not see them. suspect buffalo
bugs and search. Better still. begin be-
fore ANYTHING is eaten. Snread sheet

carefully. and if there are buffalo bugs
