Mrs. Nichols made three-minute address before the body on the subject of Education, n and with her characteristic force and elo- quence captivated her hearers and was the recipient of deserved encomiums and honors.

 THE EDUCATIONAL VALUE OF NEWS
 PAPERS AND PERIODICALS.
 As newspapers and periodicals com pose so large part of the literature of the day it is impossible to oyerestimate their educating power for good or for evil.
 Newspapers especially, are the great public roads by which writers of more CT less intelligence mould the thoughts and guide the actions of a nation, for its veal or woe. They are the promethean fire that rouses to action the many intellects of the world, causing them to triumph over the forces of nature unti( The old saving Knowledge is power becomes full of meaning.
 In ancient times warriors were en- couraged to heroic derds by the songs of their minslrels; in modern times victories are achieved by wielders of the pen no less important than many that have been won on fields of battle. But unlike those of the warriors the triumphs of intellect derive all their brilliancy, not from the evil they have produced but from the good.
 Papers and books are really the teachers. guides and lawglyers of the world today and if yOu will show us aD intelligent family of boys and girls. a family that keep in toich with all the important questions of the day, we will show you family where newspa- pers and periodicals are to be feaad in

GARRISON FOR BRYAN.
Son of Famous Abolitionist Declares
Whom He Will Support.

Indianapolis, Aug 1.-THE Liberty
Congress of the American League OF
Anti Imperialists emphatically endors-
ed the candidacy of William ]. Bryan
for president. The convention did not
adopt the platform as submitted unan-
imOuSly by the resolutions committee
without prolonged and heated debate
but when the previous question was
ordered less than a score could be mar
shalled to vote against the Bryan en-
dOrsement The vote was viva Voce
and it's exact result will never be
known, but the sentiment OF the con-
vention was early shown as being in
favor of the endorsement of Bryan as
the most effective manner OF checking
the alleged imperialistic policy of the
administration.
The most vigorous opponents of the
Bryan pronouncement in the platform
were conspicuous members of the Ma
tionar" third ticket convention, who
were also admitted as delegates to the
Anti-lmperialistic congress. They were
led by Thomas NJ. Osborne OF Auburn,
n. Y, and advocated the nomination
of third ticket on the theory that
their followers, while opposed to Presi-
dent Mckinley, were not prepared to
accept Mr.. Bryan on the Kansas City
platform. Every mention of Mr..
Bryans name in the convention called
forth enthusiastic applause.
Speakers who opposed the Bryan
plank in the platform were received
Win JeSTS ana cries OIL lInS liOul the
delegates, and the chairman at times
had difficulty in obtaining a hearing
for them.
After the adoption of the resolutions
endorsing Bryan the representatives OF
the third party movement met in the
assembly room Of the Commercial club
and selected Thomas NJ. Osborne of
Auburn, N. Y. for permanent chairman
and Everett V. Abbott of New York,
for permanent secretary.
A motion was made and carried that
a convention be held in New York City
September 5 for the purpose of nomin-
ating a ticket. 1t is said that the third
party men today offered the presiden-
tial nomination to Moorfield Storey of
Massachusetts. but that Mr.. Storey de-
clined the honor. William 1. Palmer of
Colorado. was reported to be their
choice for vice president.
The leaders of the movement said to-
night that they expected a large repre-
sentation at the convention in New
York on September 5, and that the can
didates for president and vice president
would then surely be named.
Secretary Nize of the Liberty con-
gress, today received a letter from
William Llody Garrison of Boston.
pledging the writer's support to Bryan.

LANDERs BEHIND THE BARS
Ex-Kansas Bankers Insanity Plea
Does Not Work.

Kansas City, Kan, Aug. 17.-Sherif
Harry Mendenhall arrived late Wednes-
day night from Ell Paso, Tex, with Geo.
r. Landers, a former banker at An
thony, Kan, who is wanted in Wyan-
dotte county for defrauding the Evans
Snider-Buel Live Stock Commission
company out of ST 900 in a cattle deal
Landers jumped a $1,000 cash bond
here two months ago and ran away to
Mexico. He was arrested at Ell Paso,
but tried to escape extradition on the
plea of insanity. Sheriff MendenhaIl had
no trouble in convincing the Texans that
his man was not insane and he got his
prisoner as soon as he arrived there
Landers is now behind the bars in the
county Jail. where he was confined once
before for several weeks and Is familiar
to all of the prisoners there. He does not
seem to be affected mentally and is
treated as are all of the other prisoners
in the Jail.
He will probably not have a prelirni-
nary hearing, as he once avoided one by
running away, but will be bound over
directly to the criminal court for trial
The firm of Hutchings & Keplinger has
been retained by the Evans-Snider-B ueI
company to assist County Attorney En-
right, and Landers will be prosecuted to
the full extent of the law

Philadelphia Ball Players Insist His
Union Membership be Cancelled.

St Louis, Aug. 1.-THE fight between
Dan Mccain and Harry WOlyerton in the
game between the st. Louis and Phila-
delphia clubs will, unless all signs fail,
result in the dissolution of the Baseball
Players Protective association Today
the Philadelphia players drew up a me-
Cnorial to the association and appointed
a committee of three members of the
club to present it demanding that Nc
Cams card Of membership be cancelled
and that all members of the association
refuse in future to participate in games
wherein the big first bag guardsman
plays
The memorial closes by saying that
unless these demands are acceded to the
Philadelphia club as a body will with
draw from membership in the associa-
ton.
The St Louis club is with Mccain to
a man. Umpire Terry today sent his
resignation to Uncle Dick Young as
result of criticism of his failure to re-
move McGann and Wolverton from the
game after their scrap. That is only one
reason for his resignation, however.

Wichita Aug. III. L. Jacobs has re-

from D. L. Brandt of Maytown, Pa, In
restitution of an old election bet he made
with Mr.. Brandt 25 years ago and lost.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Jacobs re-
ceived a letter from Mr.. Brandt request
ing him to furnish him with his correct
address, as he wished to send him some
conscience money. Mr.. Jacobs could not
think how Mr.. Brandt could have cheat
ed him, although he had business reIa-
lions with him for a number OF years
in Pennsylvania, previous to removing to
Wichita Mr.. Jacobs, however, wrote
Mr.. Brandt and told him that if he de-
sired to, he could send his conscience
fund to him by money order.
In return he received a money order
for $50 and letter explaining the whole
affair. Twenty-Five years ago the DEM
ocratic candidate for governor in Penn
Sylvania was a man named woodward
Jacobs at that time was a young man
of 20 odd years and an ardent Demo-
crat. He was betting considerable mon
ey on the election and made one bet of
$25 with a Republican neighbor named
Hoffman. The precinct he lived in was
normally Democratic, but it gave quite
a good Republican majority, although no
one could account for it. Mr. Jacobs
paid his debt and blamed his bad judg
ment.
In his letter Mr. Brandt stated that
he had furnished Hoffman the money to
bet with. He also was a Democrat, as
was his father and five brothers. In or
der to win the bet, the entire family vo
ted the Republican ticket and worked
SO successfully in a quiet manner for its
success that the Democrats lost the pre-
cinct.
Mr.. Brandt said that he had bought a
new suit of clothes with the money he
won from Mr. Jacobs but that the af-
fair always troubled his conscience be-
cause of the underhap ded method he had
taken to secure the bet and also to win
1T. He said that he desired to return the
$25 with IS interest and If that was not
enough for Mr.. Jacobs to state the
amount and he would gladly send it. Mr..
Jacobs said this morning that he would
keep the money more as an accommodate
ton to Mr. Brandt than anything else
and remarked that if he could get back
in a similar manner all the money he has
lost betting on elections he would buy
