are articles advertised.
Some advertisers greatly reduce the
effectiveness of their advertising by
using terms too technical for the gen.
eraI public. Because the merchant
knows, and should know. how this and
that article is made, what enters into
their makeup, etc, often leads him
into using terms and phrases in his
advertising which are Greek" to the
very people ne wants to reach. Plain
right-to- the-point statements are not
only understood, but also carry con-
viction with them, and that is what
brings business.

Merchants who handle a large and
varied line of goods, such as dry goods
and groceries, and who pay for and
use comparatively large spaces in the
newspapers frequently advertise but
one article at time, and the article
thus advertised is sometimes a trivial
one. 1t is not possible to get full value
from space used in this manner. A five
or ten cent article is not worth a column
of space to any local dealer The only
argument used in favor of this method
is that by cutting the price on some
small article and advertising it strong
ly, a great many people are brought to
the store, and, naturally, buy other
goods in which they may be of need.
That theory is all right as far as it
goes, but it fails to so very far. 1t
depends entirely on how many people
need the advertised article. The draw
ing power of the advertisement would
be increased as many times as there
are articles advertised.

Champ Clark Declares That BIZ
metallism Is the Question.
M'KINlEY HAS NO POLICY
Missouri Orator Scores the Admnistra-
ton for the Sacrifice of American
Lives in Useless War-Bryan
Will Be President.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 19-Fully 1000
Douglass county democrats. assisted
by a delegation of about 800 members
of the Jeffersonian club of Lancaster
county, turned out to-day to attend the
Jacksonian club picnic at Syndicate
park. Many of the stalwart were ac-
companied by their families and witk
the outsiders who came to hear the
speeches. they constituted crowd of
several thousand. Hon. w. j. Bryan
accompanied the Lancaster county
delegation.
Congressman Champ Clark of Mis-
souri, was the orator of the day. He
declared the democratic platform of
1900 would be the same as that of 1896.
Said he:
The people understand what they
want They want the Chicago plat
form and they intend to have it, un-
changed, undiluted, unimpared. They
will break short off, as you can break
piece of glass, the necks of those
who try to play them false. They
are not in a frame of mind to be fooled
with
Mr.. Clark declared that the over
shadowing issue of 1896 was the ques-
tion of free coinage, and that it will
hold the same position in 1900.
Regarding the Philippine situation,
he declared that President Mckinley
has no policy. Said he:
He is letting things drift and they
are drifting to the deuce. Meantime our
soldiers are being killed and dying of
disease. For what purpose? viii any
body undertake to say? l defy any ex
pansunist to stand up and inform us
what the presidents policy is. But
some say, and more is the pity and
shame, some calling themselves demo-
Gratis; The president is wrong, but we
must support the president To his
has it come at last that we must shut
up our thinkers, close our mouths and
chloroform our consciences in order TO
be considered patriots.
mo, if the president is wrong ha
should be set right. If he will not
cease to do wrong, he should be
bounced, as he will be so soon as the
American people can get a crack at
him. In the interim, congress should
restrain him from the farther expen-
diture of American blood ane American
treasure in his career of criminal as-
gression, for that is what he himself
defined 'forcible annexation to be.
IF he has not sufficient courage and
fortitude and strength to resist the
pressure of the gamblers in human
blood and lives who are holding him on
this evil and ruinous course the Ameri-
can people will find a president who
has. His name, too, is William-Will-
lam Jennings Bryan of Nebraska"
In the evening Hon. w. J. Bryan ed-
dressed an audience of 5000 people. He
indOrsed the ideas of Congressman
Clark and reiterated his views on the
silver question at length, claiming tfat
it would be the main issue in the next
presidential campaign. He indorsed
the income tax and closed with Wig
orOus onslaught on trusts.

yet been taken, but it is a positive foct
that negotiations to that end are now
under way. Some of the Dutch news
papers, in pointing out the need of
such a treaty, express fears Of the
United States seZing the Dutch col
onies in Asa and the West Indies. The
German press talks favorably of the
project, except the Pan-German or
gans and rabidly jingo papers, which
express the belief that Holland and
her colonies Will some day drop into
Germany's jaws anyway.
The draft of the news published here
is substantially as it appears in Amer
lea. The correspondent of the associ-
ated press learns that Germany will
unquestionably ratify the work of the
commission, although neither Emperor
William nor Count Won Buelow is quite
satisfied, considering that German in
terests are not adequately protected by
the wording of the new act.
Several of the most serious and in
f1uential papers. including the National
Ieitung and the Frankfort Ieitung,
printed strong editorials this week on
the relations of Germany with the
United states, vigorously recommend
ing the acceptance of invitations to the
Philadelphia commercial exhibition.
They argue that while it is true that
commercial relations with the United
valid reason to refuse. while personal
intercourse between the commercial
representatives of the two countries
will do much to improve those rela-
tions. In connection with this matter,
it is interesting to note that the gov
ernment is initiating Philadelphia in
planning an imperial commercial mu-
scum of it's own.
Fat colonial offices are now going
begging. The foreign office is valnly
offering 10000 marks salary with easy
work to a number of small officials
of Wurtemburg if they will go to the
colonies in East Africa under two and
a half years contract. Simple copying
clerks are vainly sought for at $500
marks salary.
An interesting event will be the ride
of the 18th regiment of Uhlans from
Hanover to Strasburg and back. to-
tai distance of about 700 klometers,
during the army maneuvers.
A former secretary of the Russian
prince, Orginski,, a man named Schnei-
der, was arrested this week at Pooss-
zeiten on the charge of being at the
head of a band of forgers of American
paper money. which has found it's way
to Berlin and the United States in lal ge
quantities. a big package of $50 notes
was seized.
The highest Prussian court has de-
cided it to be a punishable Offense to
keep for sale American meats and
sausages which have not passed exam

6SSS pieces of American bacon and
hams We're inspected in Berlin, of

JIMlNEZ ORDERED RELEASED.
Arrest of the Suspected Filibuster Canses
Much Comment.

Havana, Aug. 19.-It is asserted that
the arrest of General Juan Isidro Jim
ineZ. the aspirant to the presidency
of Santo Domingo. who was captured
on board a steamer at Cienfugos yes
terday just as the steamer was about
leaving that port. was not caused by
orders from Havana. but was effected
through the orders of General James
II. Wilson. governor of the department
of Matanzas and Santa Clara. Imme-
diately upon learning Of the arrest.
Major General Brooke gave orders for
the release of the prisoner The ac-
ton of General Wilson in ordering
the arrest of Jiminez causes much ccm-
ment. The present plans of Jiminez
are unknown. Having missed the
steamer on which he had taken pas
sage he will probably return to Ha-
Vana. Commenting on the arrest the
Diaro says the mayor and police at
Cienfugos refused to carry out the
orders given them for the apprenen-
sion of Jiminez, as they claimed that
TO do so would be to violate the law
of the country, and the arrest was made
by a customs officer. The Diaro ex-
presses the opinion that the detention
of JimineZ was the result of re-
quest made to the government at
Washington by President Ffguereo or
Santo Domingo that the suspected fill
buster be prevented from leaving CUBA
for Santo Domingo until after the cleo
tions in the republic had been held.

Brooke Has Authority.

Washington. Aug. LIT was stated
at the war department to-day that
nothing had been heard from General
Brooke regarding the arrest of Jiminez.
General Brooke. it was said, had been
instructed some time ago to prevent
filhustering expeditions. and he would
no doubt deal with the matter in any
way he saw fit. 1t was suggested that
he prOha bly, would investigate the ar
rest and inform Jiminez of the decis-
ion of the government that no flihus-
tering expeditions would be allowed to
leave Cuba, and then release him.
State department officials say the ar
rest of General JimineZ is wholly with
in the province of the military officers
and does not necessarily involve any
general question of policy in applying
the United States neutrality laws to
Cuba. 1t is said General Brooke has
ample authority to prevent the depart
ure of any persons suspected of hav-
ing hostile plans against a friendly

KRUGER EXPECTS WAR.

1t begins to look like war in the Trans
vaal. The dispatches speak of the Boer
soldiers going to the frontier and President
Kruger Is quoted as saying that war is
inevitable unless the British become more
reasonable in their demands.
There is of course chance yet that
peaceable solution of the trouble will be
found. 1t is to be hoped there will But
if the Beers are expecting that the British
will open the way for peace they will be
disappointed
The British, IL seems to us, are rather
anxious for war for two reasons, namely,
they want to get full possession of the
Transvaal on account of the immense gold
mines there, and they desire TO control the
whole of South Africa. 1t is certain that
the Orange Free State will join the Trans
vaal 10 oppose Great Britain. An army
will be sent to South Africa large enough
TO cope with both republics. and the out
come will be that Great Britain win domi-
nate the whole of South Africa.
No one of course expects that the British
will have an easy time in conquerng the
Beers. The British do not expect it, They
know something of the fighting qualities
of the Beers, having had experience with
them, but the Beers have not the men nor
the money TO successfully resist so rich
and powerful a nation as Great Britain.
The sympathy of the world will doubt
less be with the Beers in the event of war,
notwithstanding the fact that they are not
in touch with the rest of the world, but 1t
is doubtful if any one of the Powers will
raise a hand in their behalf. They will
be left TO fight their own battle. Their
republic will become a thing of the past,
and if resistance Is prolonged a very large
proportion of the Beers will perish in the
struggle.
