the last day of the campaign to his own

and still others were found there await
ing his arrival. The trip from Chicago
was comparatively quiet. Mr.. Bryan
has been absent from his home for about
five and Il half weeks, having left this

have been made in succession in Ne
braska. South Dakota, North Dakota,
Minnesota. Wisconsin, Indiana. Illinois,
Michigan. Ohio. New York West Nir-
ginia. Maryland. Delaware and New Jer
scy. Incidental visits were also made to

The st. Paul Limps Into Port.

line steamer st. Paul limped into port
yesterday under the port engine after
having incurred the most serious expert
cnce of her career. On Oct. 81 at SOG p.
M, in latitude 1913, longitude 1903, the
st. Paul struck supposed submerged
wreck, carried away the starboard pro-
peller, causing the engines to race so
ferccly that the shaft broke, and all con-
nections snapped. The starboard en-
gines We're so severely wrecked that they
are useless and it will take six month
to replace them with Il new set. The
after outboard shaft tubing was carried
away. The ship is leaking considerably.
When the accident occurred, the cabin
passengers were quite excited, but they
were soon restored to quiet by the prompt
report that the steamer was in no dam
ger. The wind was blowing heavily
from the northeast, with il high cross
sea. The engineers examined the breaks
and disconnected the starboard engines,
and the st. Paul proceeded on her voy-
age under the port engine at II reduced
speed.

trict attorneys office to the Tombs, Jones
was confronted hy Lawyer Patrick.
Il told Patrick that | had confessed

1t is therefore impossible to cure 1t by

1t is positively dangerous to neglect 1t,
because it always affects the stomach and
