Flag Raising at Falmouth.
To the Editor Of the Press:

Falmouth Foreside, September 2.
We have had flag raising here, a
Democratic flag raising, too, and We have
Fastened to u real good Democratic ar
gument. You know what that is the
burden of their song is: faint 40 such
thing p
The place is thoroughly saturated with
Democracy of the good old kind that
will vote to burn thsirssown homes mp if
an orator says SO, but there are doubts
ana uncertaintios bringing eareworn
lines into the faces of the faithful as tine
pender over Wv here are we at. P''
We suppose 1T was to be Democratic
meeting which ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to
the breeza of the old campaign banner
with the names Of Bryan and Sewall
emblazoned upon it, and were agreea bly,
surprised when Mr.. Bates Of Portland,
the orator of the evening, after wading
through foggy mire Of platitudes con-
corning the advantages to be- ours from
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
Yer, =" wound up with the following ap-
peal: And these, ladies and gentlemen,
are the reasonsswhy l am before you to-
man, noble citizen, great statesman and
true American, William Mckinley
The half dozen Republicans present in
the hope of some light from the prophets
of silver, and a few of the more impul.
siye Democrats. who ere waiting for a
chance to let off their pent-up enthusi-
asm, and were in to great hurry to
fully understand what had been said,
fairly raised the foof with their applause
at the magic name. "I-I-I-I-meRn Will
liam j. Bryan P' stamInered the half
dazed orator. And the Democracy
cheered again-it was all the same to
them. 1t was some time before MT.
Bates's scattered faculties could again
be brought down to the fine-spun and
long drawn out thread of his argument
There was another gentleman present,
also from Portland, Mr.. Greenleaf, an
ornament of our bar. His filed his al
lotted time In telling US what good fell
low on Greenleaf WAS andssgave us con-
fdential scraps of his family history.
An entertaining gentleman, only his
speech reminded me of q Sunday school
visitor telling stories to the children.
HI has plainly lost his calling. His talents
at representation show that the stage
lost brilliant star when no chose to
illuminate the bar with his presence, He
and showed CLOSE acquaintance with
the habits of tramps, both of which he
impersonatsd in his laughable afterpiece.
Mr.. Greenleaf talked for two hours to
those of his audience who remained and
left them as wise upon the silver ques-
| ton as he found them. And then the
bandH played-Q had almost forgotten
the hard working band), and ~ vent

The Hon. George Fred Williams com.
plains that he has been misrepresented
by the newspapers. Whether his com
plant is well founded OF not we do not
know, but the newspapers must do a
very large amount of incorporating to
catch up with the Hon. 4 George Fred.
There has been@sno silver orator on the
stump this year who has been 30 utterly
reckless in his assertions as the Hon.
George Fred; and, furthermore, mis- mis-.
representations have been deliberate.
He has identified President Francis A.
Walker with the free coinage agitation.
though he must have known that Mr..
Walker had expressly declared against it.
He was also quoted DR.. Arendu the
German bimetallist as favorinR free
coinage, though 1t he had quoted all he
said the exact opposite would have ap.
peared to be the case. Before the Hon.
George Fred sets to work casting notes
out Of other peoples eyes he had bette,
look after the beam in his own.

MRsBryan has been SO continua1ly-and
We might almost say eontinueusly-ex-
pressing his views of the Chicago plat
form since he was nominated that his
formal letter of acceptance could hardly
be expected to contain any new ideas SO
there will be no disappointment in find
ing it to be mere reiteration in some
what more formal language of the things
he has been saying upon the stump. If be
had simply written, II heartily
concur in everything the Popocrats said
at Chicago" and signed his name to it
no would have covered the whole ground
that he takes $4,000 words to cover and
done it quite RS effectively.

ABOUT HIS CURE
A Methodist Minister on the Practical Benefactions Of the
Copeland & Shepard Observation-Disclosures Invahds to
Profit by the Great Advantages it Affords to ALL.

People who go through this world
with their eyes open as they go learn
very early in life that the genuine cx-
cellcnce of this or that commodity, or
this or that professional service rem
dered, is not measured mathcmatically
by the price Of the fee.
There is no question that a great
many invalids from catarrh and other
chronic maladies cannot afford TO pay
for treatment administered by physi-
clans and specialists, who may con
scientiously or otherwise hold their
services at avery high figure.
Drs. Copeland and %Shcpard's fee. for
services is strictly nominal, and all med
icines and remedies are provided free
of charge. Yet their treatment, in
stead of being without material value
because without material expense, Is
known to be curing human disease and
to be saving human life where all other
methods fail.
No better illustration of the triumph
of the Copeland and Shepard system of
treatment of difficult and desperate
maladies could possibly be afforded
than in the following statement by the
Rev. Il. Il. Hunt, Elgin, Neb., Mrs. Josie
Land, Council Bluffs, and Mrs. Ed Sha-
fer, Tekamah, Neb.

SAYS ST. LOUIS DOES NEED All
John IL. Lee Says Figures Are Not-Ex-
annernted md MuuY Deaiitu1e.

John ii. Lee Says Figures Are Not-Ex-
aggerated and Many Destitute.
ST. LOUIS, May 30.-Police Commissioners
John A.. Lee is not one of those who estimate
the damage Of the storm as light and who
thinks that st. Louis is amply able to relieve
the distress unaided.
Mr.. Lee has gone carefully over the
wrecked districts with Chief Of Police Harri-
gan and examined the conditions closely and
intelligeatly. He said this morning:
~ think the foolish false pride which has
prompted the argument that st. Louis needs
no outside aid and can take care of her own
distress and ruin is well deserving of gen.
eral denunciation. The men who have an
nounced that We need no outside aid do not
know or appreciate the gravity OF the situa-
ton and represent only their own well fed,
comfortable and well housed personal views.
II have very thoroughly explored the
ruined districts with the CHIEF of police and
vice president Of the police board and know
that the average of the estimates which are
made of the damages by the press are not
exaggerated.
III the damage is $40, 900, 900, which is
about the lowest estimate made, and the alb
~solutely necessitious conditions, such as pos
tive lack Of food, clothing and shelter, are
only 5 per cent, 1t will require $500, 900 to re-
lieve them. | have never known a cal for
public aid to be made that ST. Louis people
did not come promptly to the front, and /
do not desire 10 see conditions either under
estimated or exaggerated.
"St. Louis does need at present all the aid
she can get. Our own people who can afford
to DO 80 will help and their aid will be lib
eral. but / claim that no sum smaller than
$500, 900 will be adequate TO relieve the abso-
Lutte lack OF food. clothing, household equip
ments and shelter.
1T should be remembered that hundreds
Of manufacturing plants have been destroyed
and many thousands OF people are to be out
OF employment for several months. Who.
therefore, dares take the responsibility Of
saying that st. Louis can and will take care
OF her own sufferers and suffering? II a
mans home is blown to pieces and destroyed.
is he any the less entitled to relief than the

power to render the coming speed events
such a success as shall prove a credit to
themselves and the city, with a fair prospect
Of such a financial return as shall place the
association beyond the burden of debt, which
heretofore has embarrassed them. The bus
mess men of Omaha have been a
unit in their efforts of support.
and have responded heartily to the re-
quests made Of them and have designated
Tuesday, June 8, the opening day,
OF the races as Omaha" day and the leda-
ing firms OF the city will recognize this in
a fitting manner, closing their places Of bust
ness from noon until 6 p. IN. The advance
sale of tickets was opened Friday, over 5000
being disposed of on the opening day.
The track, which Is under the direct super
vision Of that veteran campaigner, Scott
Mccoy, shows the effects of the unceasing
efforts which have been put forth in making
1t one Of the fastest in the country. Own
ers and trainers with their entries are ar
irving daily and express themselves as being
thoroughly pleased with the superior accom-
modations provided for themselves and their
horses. Among the more recent arrivals are
]. H. Kinney of Oswego, Kan, with John
Kinney PIG, Star Dejarnett, Lady Carlisle,
Reuben S. and ]. w; also E. c. Holland,
Seward, Neb, with Durango Belle and Zaf-
ferano.
Special days Of the meeting have been
designated as follows: Tuesday, June 3,
Omaha day; wednesday, June 10, South
Omaha day: Thursday. June II, Council
Bluffs day, and Friday, June ~ as Nebraska
day. Saturday will be celebrated as a gen.
eral half holiday, an unusually attractive
program having been provided for the, occa-
sion. '
In response to request, Mayor Ensor Of
South Omaha sent the following letter, I'M
der date of May %, which shows the friendly
feeling and interest of the people of South
Omaha in the coming racing meeting, A
large attendance from South Omaha is as
sured:
Omaha Fair and Speed Association: My
Dear Sir-Your communication under date OF
the 10Th inst. has been received, and in
/ ksoSs rgill say that | am fully in accord
with you, and in speaking so, ! believe it
expresses the sentiment OF the people of our
city. They are willing to do what they can
toward making the June races a complete
success. The interest of your people In
Omaha in the advancement of this under
taking is none the less the interest of tho
people OF this city. as we are practically
one, when it comes to an enterprise which
would benefit btoh cities alike.
II will take pleasure In issuing the procla-
nation requesting the people of this city
to close their places of business on the
10th proximo, II being the day set apart by
your association, and christened as South
Omaha day. ! believe the people here will
take special pride in turning out In a body.
Yours very respectfully,
"DR, T. II. ENsoR."
