Since Monday four papers in Ne
braska, hitherto opposing William J.
Bryan's candidacy, have gone over to
his support.
The two houses of the Kentucky
Legislature have passed the non
partisan election law agreed upon bv
the Conference Committee.
1t is stated that Chairman Hanna
has become alarmed at the big regis
tration in the East and West and a
second call has been made on the
trusts for campaign money.
Mr.. Swanson's campaign is arous-
ing the Democrats OF the district.
He is making brilliant canvass and
will strengthen the cause of Bryan
in the district.-DaRville Register.
To vote for Bryan and Stevenson
on November 9Th, scratch off your
ticket the names of all other presi
Dental candidates. Such a ballot
will beSounted as If the names of the
electors had been scratched.
At Hinton, w. Va, last week an
unknown woman in the crowd tried
to reach Bryan and hug him. Gen.
st. Clair, who resembles the Colonel,
was compelled to act as bis proxy.
The female admirer of Bryan mis-
took st. Clair for him, she caught
him about the neck and kissed him
repeatedly. Col. Bryan saw the act
and laughed and hurried away.
Democrats are hopeful of carrying
the state Of Ohio. Niles, Ohio, is the
birthplace of President Mckinley.
Two Democratic spellbinders return
ed from that section to headquarters
and made encouraging reports. Four
years ago Bryan received thirty-seven
votes in that town. To-day there is
"A Bryau-Stevenson Club there with a
membership of 500. The spellbind-
ers say that this is simply passing
indication, one of many indications
of what is transporting in a political
way in the Buckeye State.
tom FITZGERALD'S BLUFF.
Just as the world was recovering
from the awful Eleven Million Dollar
shock, for which ex-Mayor Davidson
was responsible, another awful finan-
clal earthquake has shaken the globe
to It's very center. The mine was
exploded in Parkersburg, w. Va,
this time, and Col. Thomas Fitzger-
aid, general superintendent Of the
Baltimore and Ohio, is the man who
fred the train.
The similarity of the two crushing
disasters may be best shown side by
side, and TO the trust magnates will
look real pretty, thus:

WISE WORDS.

No just law harms the law abiding.
Manly work grows out of child-liks
faith.
True patriotism always begins at
home.
Constant confession is the secret Of
constancy.
Restraint is the secret Of happiness
In pleasure.
Regenerations is the only cure for
degeneration.
The time you spend with your chill
dren is never wasted.
Men may save money but money
will never save them.
The man who does not know is al
ways the readiest to tell
The burrows of atiliction become
fumes for the flow OF mercy
The knowledge Of sin does not al
ways lead to its acknowledgement
The man who is but an echo in tho
city may be voice in the wilderness.
The advantages Of good habits arc
as great as the disadvantages Of bad
ones.
He who buys popularity at the price
Of character Is robbing the world Of
manhood.

Apples were ct one TINA uuderesti-

puddings, pies and cakes might do,
but plain raw apples were fit only for
school children, vegetarians or the
poor. All this Is now changed, and
the apple has come to its own again.
But if its flavcr has been at various
times slightly esteemed or discredit-
ed, at least its wholesomeness has
been steadily recognized apple

country and in England. sll of which
testify in favor Of the fruit. In the

an old orchard verse which used to be
recited on certain ancient farms on
the plucking of the first ripe apples of
the crop. Misfortune was supposed
to follow its omission, and it's utter

first apple over which it was spoken
being presented to a young girl, who
halved and bit it before any further

Thus it ran:

- SIGN OF SPKiNC.

When skies are dull and dreary.
And spring seems far away,
There comes token CHEEKY
To ease the sad delay.
I heard the sounds OF laughing.
Which seemed mid sighs to cg
The tones OF childish chatting
While Tilly jumped the rope.
Her voice is far from mellow:
She wears gingham gown;
Her hair in braids OF yellow
Goes bobbing up and down.
But every tone she utters
Thrills with vernal hope,
No more the lee wind mutters
When Tilly jumps the rope.
Be jocund, Spring is nearing.
The omens do not fail.
The wind is southwark veering.
The breeze supplants the gale.
The sunshine's golden fingers
Caress the meadow slope;
The sparrow chirps and fingers
And Tilly jumps the rope.

About American Commission.

Manila, May 1S.-A proclamation pur
porting to have been issued by Aguin-
aldo and dated May 4, from Pollilo is
land, one of the Philippine group east
Of Luzon, is circulating in Manila. It
says the commission appointed by
President Mckinley was appointed
without authorization of congress and
that, hence, it cannot treat officially. It
urges the FilipinOs not to surrender
their arms at the instigation of the
commission and on promises which
congress may not ratify. The procla-
nation also urges the Filipinos to wei
come the commission enthusiastically
when it arrives in the towns and prov
inces, asking boldly for the form of
government they most desire, as the
Americans permit of freedom Of speech.
The manifesto closes with asking the
Fnipinos to strive for liberty and in
dependence and again warns the COM
mission against deception.

BILL TO NAB NEELEY
ExtraditiOn Measure Is Intro
duced In Congress.

Washington, May 18-Chairman Ray of
the judiciary committee today introduced
bill in the house TO deal with the Medley
case and others where the present extra
ditiOns laws are Ineffective
The bill adds 10 section $40 of the stat
utes the following:
Provided, That whenever any foreign
country or territory or any part thereof
is under the control of temporary govern
ment of the United States, and the Unit
ed States, by act of congress, or through
Its military power or otherwise, has es-
tdbnShed or authorized government con-
troll over the same in whole or in part,
any person who commits an Offense and
fees to the United States, shall be sur
rendered to the authorities of the United
States an dreturned and surrendered to
country or territory, for trial under the
laws recognized and in force in the place
where such crime was committed"
This measure was drawn after the ques-
ton had been discussed at a session Of
the judiciary committee.
The need of action was explained by At
torney General Griggs in letter to
Chairman Ray, in which he said:
Recent offenses of a criminal nature
committed by an employee OF the postal
service IN Cuba, who has fed from JUS

RAISING to the department of justice to
secure the prompt return of such Offend
ers to the jurisdiction in which the crime
is committed and in which they should be
tried.

Bubonic Pest.

San Francisco, May 1S.-The reports

plague is prevalent in San Francisco

The president of the Merchants as
ISOLATION has made the following state
ment to the Associated Press:
Thorough investigation by our asso-
citation diSclOses the fact that there is
not at present, nor has there been, a
single case of living patient where
diagnosis by any physician or by the
beard of health has shown the symp-
toms of the bubonic plague. During
the past two and a half months there
have been reported through the board
of health five different cases of deaths
of Chinese in Chinatown, which, upon
examination of the authorities, were
considered sporadic. This has caused
the Merchants association to cooper
ate with the board of health in taking
precautionary measures to prevent the
possibility Of any epidemic in this city.
1.-THE precautionary measures to be
taken include house toulouse inspec-
ton, and incubation with haffkine OF
each Chinese resident of the city. Rep
/ reseutatives of the six Chinese com
panies have agreed to assist in eXecut-
ing these precautionary measures. 1t
is probable the discussion of these
measures has given rise to the rumors
/ concerning the plague"
