Messrs. Editors Hon. VIM. Jennings Bryan,
the free silver champion, delivered an address
in Music Hall ON the evening of January 19th
Every available space was occupied, many not
being able to gain admission. Hundreds of ladies
were there to pay their tribute of respect to the
silper-tongued orator. The Fourth Regiment
Band was in attendance, playing popular airs.

speaks very highly of Mr.. Bryans abilities, yet
If he were to receive the nomination for Presi-
dent of the United States no doubt he would be
defeated by a large majority. Mr.. Mckinley
will beyond a doubt be our next President
Many say he has so far made one of the best that
ever filled the Presidential chair. I think he
has made one mistake in not using his influence
to abolish the army canteen.
The Zoo is still attracting great crowds. They
are adding every few days to their already large

to assist is the Consumptive Hospital at Eudo,

twenty gallons received on Monday from the
Milk Producers Association was dispensed in
large or small quantities. This milk was sup

inspectors. This is an error as all rejected milk
was split ON the ground at the railroad stations.
The milk distributed was perfectly good and
sweet These ladies dispensed pure ice water to
thirsty citizens during the warm days of summer.
