BRYAN is REBUKED.
Perry Belmont Suggests That There
Is No Politics In Jefferson's
Birthday.

New York, March 15.-The following
dispatch has been received by Perry
Belmont, president of the Democratic
club, in response to an invitation which
was sent to William ]. Bryan to attend
the banquet to be given by the club in
honor of Thomas Jefferson on April ID:
Lincoln, Neb. March IS.
Hon. Perry Belmont, Democratic Club,
New York
Invitation received. Remembering
that you openly repudiated the Demo-
cratic platform in the last campaign, I
desire to know before answering invita-
ton whether you have since the election
publicly announced your conversion to
the principles set forth in that plat
form. (Signed)
WIN. ]. BRYAN.
In answer Mr.. Belmont telegraphed
as follows to Mr.. Bryan:
The invitation extended to you is on
behalf of the Democratic club. Individ-
ual opinions have not been considered
IN issuing the invitation to celebrate the
birthday Of Thomas Jefferson.
(Signed) PERRY BELMONT.

1t Would Cost the Santa Fe
$4,000 More Yearly
To Grant the Demands of the
Telegraph Operators.
WHY THEY HESITATE
One Committee Consulting GEN
eral Manager Frey.
Another Holding a Consulta-
ton With Mr.. Ripley.

Two conferences between committees
of the Order of Railway Telegraphers
and officials of the Santa Fe are being
held in Chicago today. A grievance
committee representing the members of
the order on the Gulf, Colorado & Santa
F'e are holding conference with Pres
ident Ripley, and the grievance COM
mittee representing the operators on the
Santa Fe road proper are comforting
with General Manager Frey.
The conference today is the second
held between Mr.. Ripley and the griev-
ance committee of the Gulf operators.
The grievance consists of the discharge
OF Texas Hneman, who although not
an operator is member of the order,
and it was carried up to President Rip
ley with the statement that unless the
ineman was reinstated strike of not
only the operators on the Gulf line, but
on all Santa F'e system lines, would be
called. At the first conference, held
about two weeks ago, President Ripley
refused to agree to the reinstatement of
the Hneman, and the operators asked a
second conference after sufficient time
for the final discussion of the matter
1t is thought that the committee will
back down from its original position
and not insist on the reinstatement of
the Hneman.
Mr.. Frey will probably consult Presi-
dent Ripley in regard to the demands
of the Santa Fe operators, whether he
refers the matter to him or not. If a
horizontal increase of % per cent and
an increase in the minimum monthly
salary from $45 to $50 per month was
granted as asked for by the operators,
ture to the Santa Fe management of
over $50, 900 a year.

CAN YOU AFFORD
To Be Skeptieal About Using Nor
rows Kid-neOidS7

We think not There are many rnedI-
cines manufactured to gull the public
but MorTow's Kid-ne-oids are not. They
are scientific preparation, and made
by practical chemists. This makes mat
ters different Still further, we show
home proof of their virtue, and print
statements from people you know or
can investigate. That brings matters
down to where you must leave skep-
ticism In the closet and come out bold
ly and try them. This Is what Mrs. E.
GRdes 12T Van Buren, street, Topeka,
did. She used to doubt the virtue of
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. but so many peo-
pie covered Kid-ne-oids with praise,
that she used.-was cured. and this is
what she says: IT never made a prac-
tice OF using patent medicines but tav-
ing heard SO many good reports from
those using Morrow's Kid-ne-oids that
went to the Swift & Holiday Drug
Ce's store and bought a box and used
them as directed.
Although my disease was of several
years standing. and had reached a Sc
rious stage, I have been completely
cured by Morrow's Kid-ne-oids.
