INDIANA SAFE
FOR DEMOCRACY.
Every Indication That COndi-
tiOns Have Changed.
BRYAN CREATES ENTHUSIASM
Many who Refused to support Him In
1895 Declare Their Intention to
DO II This Year - At
Valparaiso.

Valparaiso, Ind, May 5-If w. J. Bry-
an demonstrated his startling increase
of political power in Ohio, his visit to
Indiana was no less remarkable for the
dio ctreatrs iy allhtdhwls ?-odsyasreb
evidence which II called forth of his
growing strength all through the mid
die west.
The leader left Toledo fresh from
the great multitudes in the armory.
He slept on the train until South Bend,
Ind, was reached. Here he was met by
ex-Congressman Benjamin F. Shively.
Mr.. Bryan went to Mr.. Shively's house
and slept until noon. Then for an hour
he received the citizens of South Bend
at Mr.. Shively's office. The visit was
announced.
Later in the afternoon Mr.. Bryan took
the train for Valparaiso. This Is town
Of 1000 inhabitants Three days ago
there was Democratic victory in the
local election. When Mr.. Bryan arriv-
ed he found a crowd of 5000 roaring
around the railway station and he was
actually lifted from the ground by the
pressure of the people. This demon
stration in what has always been a
strong Republican town is all the more
| remarkable when it is remembered that
Mr.. Bryan's mission to Valparaiso was
not strictly political one, as he came
to lecture to the 5000 students of the
Northern Indiana Normal schol.
The great crowd followed his carriage
| for a half mile to the residence OF
President H. b. Brown, and here he
| stood on a sloping lawn under a grove
Of trees to shake hands with about
1000 persons. The committee which
| met him consisted of two gold Demo
| Gratis, and a Republican. The Republi-
can member said that he intended tc
vote for Mr.. Bryan. Two of the COM
| miteemen were bankers. mention
these facts to indicate the change which
has occurred since 1896. Many of the
gold Democrats who openly and bitter
ly opposed Mr.. Bryan four years age
| called upon him to say that the Dem
ocratic cause would sweep Indiana and
the cause would be safe this year.

Special to News Democrat.
Massillon, May 5.-Local wheelmen
are intensely interested in having bicy-
Gle paths constructed in this county,
under the DeRan law. The Massillon
riders will be found in the front rank
Of contributors to the fund required for
the construction of bicycle paths in the
county. There is crying need of BIZ
cycle path between this city and Can
ton. Hundreds of riders would take ad-
vantage of a good path to the county
seat and 1t is safe to say that as large
a number would wheel in this direction
If solid path were provided. mem
ber Of the local club said Thursday
evening that the Massillon riders would
do their share towards constructing a
path between the two towns. "Massil-
lon is hilly" he said, land when we
want to get out Of town we naturally
pull out for Canton. Any rider will tell
you the difficulties which beset the rider
Of a wheel on the Canton road. The
tier of constructing bicycle paths
in the county has been discussed for
some years past, but, for some reason;
nothing was evee accomplished. Now,
however, the boys seem to be in earnest
and the matter Of first building path
between this city and Canton will come
up for consideration at meeting OF the
bicycle club in the near future. Can
ton would be asked to join in the move
ment and we believe the riders Of that
city will be just as anxious to have the
path built as we are"

The Elks' minstrels will surprise and

Canton Elks will come over in a body.

Prof. LansIey's Persistent Efforts to
Preserve Wild Animals.

TEObGENG "nu FiNHa'es
In an illustrated article on "The M.
tIonal ZOO at Washington Ernest
Thompson, the author-artist,
tells what hard work Prof. Langley
had to do before Congress would pass
a bin to establish such an institution:
In 1887. when the newly appoint.
ted Secretary OF the Smithsonian In
stituion. Mr.. s. l.. Langley, who,
though an astronomer and n physicist
had been very strongly Impressed by
the fact that all our largest and most
interesting native animals were rapid
ly approaching extinction, conceived
the ldea Of securing tract OF country
as primitive as possible, that might be
made lasting city Of refuge for the
vanishing races This was the main
Idea when first Mr.. Langley went be-
fore Congress to urge the establish
ment OF Il National Geological Park.
In all ages II has been the custom OF
pOteDtates TO keep collection Of wild
animals for their amusement, and the
American people. being their own rul-
or. had numberless precedents, before
them when urged TO make this much
needed collection OF animals.
In such case the advantage Of n
monarchy IL that only one man must
be convinced. whereas In the republic
the consent Of n majority OF seventy
millions had TO be obtained.
This took time. Fierce battles had TO
be fought with ignorant and captious
politicians. One objected that he did
not see why people should pny ITO
have the Nebraska Elk and Florida
Alligators cooped up" II they had TO
spend money for It they would want
things they could not see Mt home
Dog-faced Bnboons, Kangaroos, Man
eating Tigers, etc. Another. a fervent
patriot, objected TO any money being
spent on exotic species, as 1t was con
trary to the spirit OF the Constitution
to encourage or import foreigners!
Altogether the Secretary OF the
Smithsonian found II no easy bill to
curry, though 1t was Endorsed by near
ly every scientist and educator in the
country.
After three years OF persistent eff
fort, involving vastly more worry than
the management OF the whole Smith.
sonian Institution for three times that
period. Mr.. Langley succeeded In car
rying both houses OF Congress over
the successive stnges Of ridlcule. toler.
alton. and favorable consideration, to
the point OF accepting and providing
for the scheme.
An appropriation was made for a
National Geological Park TO be esiab-
lished In the District Of Columbia for
the Advancement OF Science and the
Instruction and Amusement of the
lcoDle," as well AZ city OF refuge
where those "natlve animals that
were threatened with extinction
