friends of Ms. Hazard Eastin were
greatly concerned for her safety.
She was visiting the Rebaud family
at Galveston and the distressing
news from that ill-fated city was of
a nature to produce the greatest
anxietv in the minds of her relatives
and friends. Repeated attempts
were made to communicate with.
her by telegraph, but they proved
unsuccessful, until Friday morning
when a telegram was received from
Galveston bearing the happy intel
ligence that Mrs. Eastin was well

days. The words call we'll" also
conveyed the information that the
Rebauds, whom Mrs. Eastin is Wis

Viewed from a cold-blooeied po-

Bryan and Governor Roosevelt

of the individuals composing the
great multitude could be judged,

cheer effective utterances of any
orator, regardless of party consider

cession swept past, l carefully
watched the men who cheered for

I am speaking conservatively
when I say that four out of every

sentative procession who cheered at
