$4,000 FOR A LIE.
Urged to Say that Mr.. Bryan
Had Applied to Go on the
Stage.

Springfield, ILL.,, November 2.
Some one circulated the re.
port that Mr.. Bryan had ap-
piled to certain theatrical
agents Office for EN- ployment
before he became prominent as
a candidate for the presidency.
It was said that he had applied
to Mr.. Will Block of Spring
field, ILL.,, who is now manager
of one of the prominent thealri
cal companies of the United
States.
Colonel j. D. Block, father
of the gentleman referred to,
last night telegraphed his sou
and asked what truth there was
in the stories printed about Mr..
Bryan applying for a position.
He received reply as follows:
Il have notreceived from Mr..
Bryan any telegram or any
communication of any kind
but have been offered $4,000
to say that I had received such
a communication. Yours,
Will"
Colonel Block says that the
charge is absolutely false, and
was made to injure the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Bryan.

was maintained in operation.
The shop referred to is situated
in Boston, and YEAS moved 10
make r0m for the work being
done in the elevation OF the
tracks of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad.
The movement of the shop was
about 300 feet in one direction
and 80 feet in another, and was
effected without suspeuding
work, the shop being operated
just as if nothing unusual was
going on.
The building is of brick,
350X50 feet; about one half its
length is three stories high and
the rest two stories Electric
motors were attached I'd the
shaFlihg to supply the power,
they receiving their power by
wires run from "a generating

The shop was thus moved

RUSSIAN THISTLE
FOR FUEL

Wv 1 - liz
Chamberlain, S. D, Oct. 81.
AS the results of experiments
last winter, the mill at Castalia
will again this winter use the
Russian thistle for fuel in place
of coal. The proprietor of the
mill offers farmers $3.50 per
ton for all the thisilps
they can bring in. Thus
the farmers in that section
will receive an income from
what has heretofore been one
of thier greatest enemies, the
tbistles growing in such pro
fusion in some localities that
small grain has been complete
ly crowded out.
