the point at issue.
Tobacco was supported on tho opening
break and practically the same was true in
regard u Sugar and st. Paul. London
was a seller on balance and there was be-
lieved to be liquidation in the Atchison

Atchison issues lower.

LINGANE WANTS DELAY.
His Physician Says He Is Sick and Un-
able 10 Attend Court.

This morning in Judge Wilbur's Court
Attorney Charles IL. Page, Sr., asked His
Honor that the second trial OF David L.
Lingane under the indictment found
against him for an assault with danger
Gus weapon on Osceola X. Cook, which
was TO take place Monday, he postponed.
The reason for the postponement was
asked and counsel stated IT was because
of the sickness of the defendant. and a
certificate from DIR. Mitchell was read,
showing that Mr.. Lingane was confined
TO his home by illness.
Judge Wilbur read the certificate and
the Attorney General objected TO the
postponement of the case, saying the best
way to recover from the nervousness in
cidental TO the trial would be to have 1t
over.
Mr.. Page said Mr.. Lingane was unable
to attend TO his business.
Judge Wilbur did not think the criti-
cism Just one IL defendant was as repre-
sented, a sick man, but that 1t is proper
il such was not the case. Then his honor
said the certificate was that OF a reputable
physician npd he would ask DIR. Palmer
to go with DIR. Mitchell and investigate
Mr.. Lingane's condition. This was
agreeab bic to Mr. Page, so the matter of
postponement was continued until this
afternoon. Attorney-General Dubois
said he had summoned the witnesses for
the State TO appear Monday.

THE lack of American shipping is
so noticeable as TO give Asiatics the inn

From the above can be seen the bless

BRYAN FOR PRESIDENT.

1T lis evident that the Democracy of
the West and far South are in the mood
to nominate Hon. w. j. Bryan, of Ne
bmslza, for President. He is the most
eloquent and effective public speaker
in America is q sincere honorable aud
brave man, and as the nominee of the
party would create an enthusiasm that
would be as inspiring TO the whole
country as Vance's campaign of 1916
thrilled North Carolina. The Little
Rock Tribune is not too partial in the
following estimate of the young ORA
tor ard statesman:
Young, superb; coming from the
geographical center of the nation, his
record clear and unambiguous, Will
liam Jennings Bryan, stands to-day
the embodiment of Young America in
this great struggle for the emancipa-
tion of the common people and he -
their idol. Without forwarduess, but
by his own inherent force, and because
men instinctiVely recognize the fitness
of it. he has by common consent, been
pushed into the position of leader
in the front rank. The very treason OF
the administration in his own State,
aimed, as it has been, to overcome and
break him down, proves to be one Of
his greatest elements Of strength, and
is so recognized by the masses of adj
parties.
Both as TO the tariff and as to the
money question he has been recognized
throughout the nation as our inyinci-
BILE leader. He belongs to no locality
He is claimed by no nation His nom
ination would not only be claimed by
Nebraska, but by Illinois, his birth
place. Beyond question his nomina-
ton would paralyze opposition in all
branches of the reform and produce
such a union as would point to AN
overwhelming triumph. His record
is without blemish, either politically
land especially along the lines Of the
present issue) or personally, and his
private life and conduct is SO pure
and clean as to challenge the respect
without the opposition of any element
of society. One of the most remark
able features about his character and
record is that one 50 young should
have been so tried in the furnace with
out 1.-THE smell of fire" and be raised
up now. as if by providence, so fully
equipped to be the leader in this try
ing time.
The only objection that has been
raised has been his youth, but that |
youth gives him the magnificent phys |
zeal strength so much required for SER |
vice, and Notwithstanding his thirty
six years he has the elements of pow |
er in the contest which mo older man |
possesses. Pitt was chancellor of Eng
land at the age of twenty-nine.
