BRYAN AT JEFFERSON CITY.

Made Short Talk to a
Big Crowd.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, July 16.-
William ]. Bryan, Democratic nom-
inee for President, was greeted at the

given a rousing informal reception,
The train stopped few moments, land
Mr.. Bryan addressed the crowd. He
was introduced by R. P. Bland, who in
choice language said that he was glad
to welcome the next President to the
old Eighteenth Congressional District
Mr.. Bland was applauded to the echo
Mr.. Bryan said:
"Fellow citizens, am at home here
Democracy should feel at ease here
You have named your beautiful city
after Thomas Jefferson, the author OF
the Declaration of Independence, the
founder of Democracy. You have in
your Congressional District that dis
tinguished statesman, that great COM
moner, Richard p. Bland; you have as
Governor that fighter of fighters, that
political and party hero, VIM. j. J.Stone.
To clap the climax, you have elected
as your Mayor gentleman named
Silver. Yes, / am at home here. /
am glad to learn that r. P. Bland is to
be returned to Congress. He will be
renominated unanimously. His cleo
tion will be a triumph of principle.
We need him in Washington. If he
cannot sign bill, giving to silver its
legal rights, its time-honored, its con-
stitutional rights, he can and he will
give to it his name, the prestige of his
experience and wisdom"
He declared that the platform
adopted at Chicago is new Declare
ton of Independence. He commend
ed the nominee for vice-president, Mr..
Sewall, for s'in the far East, within the
sound of the roar of the Atlantic, up
holding and maintaining the flag of
bimetallism."
His closing words evoked burst of
applause.
Gov. Stone followed in few words
commendatory of the Chicago plat
form and the men nominated upon it.
Mrs. w. j. Bryan was introduced by
the Governor as the "next mistress Of
the White House." She stood up, on
ly for moment, bowling her acknowl-
edgments for the cheers of the more
than 1000 people who had assembled.
Then the band began to play. Local
leaders and many of the common peo-
pie pressed forward to meet Mr..
Bryan and his wife, and moment
later the crowd began to disperse, Mr..
and Mrs. Bryan returned to the train
ed, all told, not more than fifteen min
utes.

William Pitts Tenney was born in
the town of Presumption, Mercer
county, Illinois, on Oct. 2lst, 1847,
and is one of a family of thirteen
children-six boys and seven girls
nine of whom are still living. He re-
sided in that township with his par
ents until he was eight years of age,
when, in 1856, the family moved to
Olmstead county, this State. In that
county they resided on a farm until
1862, when the Tenney family moved
to Wabasha, this State. Pitts resided
there with them until he was % years
of age. He enlisted as a member of a
Minnesota company when he was II
years of age, and served until the close
of the war with distinction.
Pitts Tenney came to Redwood
Falls in 1870. His parents, brothers
and sisters followed him shortly after
wards, and Pitts, with Charles and
Velora Tenney struggled hard at the
barber trade and other odd jobs for
years afterwards. In fact, Pitts and
Charley are still at the business in
this town and on June LIST next Pitts
will have conducted a shop in this
city for 26 consecutive years. Pitts,
as we'll as his brothers, have always
been among our honored and respect
ed citizens.
In 1879 Pitts went to Lake City for
a week or two and while there he mar
ried Miss Alma Colby. They have
five children three girls and two
bows.

SOME MORE BALM.

Lake Benton News: The REDWOOD
GAZETTE was some time ago sued for
libel by the clerk Of court of that
county. Julius dipped his pen in the
we'll of sarcasm and then wrote
smoking hot article to the effect that
the clerk of court was scheming for a
reelection. Judge Weber has de-
cided that The GAzErTE's article was
not libelous, and that the clerk of
court must pay the costs of the suit
and get nothing. Evidently Judge
Weber don't believe that it is libelous
to state that man is candidate for
reelection to the Office he now holds.
That is common sense. Now let
Julius give Byram another dose of
liver invigorator.
Window Reporter: The REDWOOD
GAZETTE has won it's libel case in
which it was recently sued by resi-
dent of Redwood county. The GA
zErTE is one of the fearless newspa-
pers of Minnesota, aims to do right
and always comes out of the fight
with bright laurels. In speaking of
Judge Webber's opinion in sustaining
the defendants demurrer, The GA
zETTE says: 1T means that the liber-
ty of the press is to remain where the
constitution of the United States
placed it-free and untrammeled. 1t
means that articles published in good
faith are not to be construed by
courts. 1t means something else, be-
sides all this. 1t means that a paper
can not be handicapped or briddled
in it's statement of fact in the exposi-
ton of corrupt horde of political
aspirants seeking to keep their clutch
es on the politics of county at the
expense Of the people,
Marshall Reporter: We are glad
to learn that the libel suit brought
against The REDWOOD GAZETTE by the
clerk of court has been thrown out.
This is the fimsiest excuse for libel
suit we ever saw. The GAZETTE said
the clerk of court was working for re-
election. Without doubt it was a fact,
as it is with nine-tenths of county
officers, and could possibly be no libel
to publish it. The GAZETTE ought now
to paint the cuss yellow and turn him
loose.

If we could trace dyspepsia to its
source, it would lead back to our
kitchens. In fact, the secret of good
health is good cooking. If we'll cooked,
foods are partially digested; if poorly
cooked, they are less digestable than
in their raw state. If you are victim
of faulty cooking; that is, if you suffer
from dyspepsia, the rational cure must
be looked for in an artifcally digested
food, and a food which will at the
same time aid the digestion of other
foods. Such a preparation virtually
rests the tired digestive organs, there
by restoring them to their natural
strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared
by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is
just such preparation, and single
10 cent bottle will convince you of its
value. If you druggist doesn't keep
it, he will be glad to get it through
his wholesale house.
Laxol is the best medicine for chill
dren. Doctors recommend it in place
