committee to escort Colonel Bryan
from Atchison to Topeka left for Atchf-
son on the early morning train. When
Valley Falls was reached Postmaster
Butts, known as the wheelhorse of
Democracy in that section of the
country, was on hand to beg that the
train bearing Bryan stop at Valley
Falls ON the return trip for five min
Mr.. Butts pulled himself half way
into the car through an open window
and buttonholed John Brsidenthal,
Say, john he said. I'VE want you
to stop here five minutes on the way
sRut don't know what the arrange
ments are pleaded Breidenthal
But. John. everyone wants to see
sTm afraid the railroad officials win
not do it as they have arranged for a
three minute stop at Mefiden-''
but. look here John, we have four
times as many people as Meriden.''
We'll, I'll see what can be DONE" said
John in a discouraging tone.
Whose conductor Of this train? Dad
Sherman?" said Butts. Wait till
see him. He runs this train-''
He rushed off and consulted with
Sherman and sure enough on the re-
turn trip the train stopped at Valley
Falls long enough for short talk. The
introductionS were the same as before
and as at every station Mr.. Bryan re-
ceived a bunch of flowers just before
valley rails was retained Mr.. BIyan
went to the rear platform. A river was
crossed.
what stream is that?" asked Cole
mel Bryan.
FFhe Grasshopper,' said Governor
Click.
'The Delaware" said Mr.. Breiden-
thai.
ssWell there is a chance for argu-
ment,'' said Colonel Bryan (which is
it?"
at was changed about ten years ago
from .Grasshopper to Delaware said
Senator Harris, and the air brakes were
applied for the Valley Falls stop, BY
the time the train stopped Colonel
Bryan and MIR. Breidenthal had heeen
introduced. Colonel Bryan made few
remarkes ON Imperialism and said; TT
was Abraham Lincoln who warned the
people that the strength of the nation
was not in the army, but in the spirit
of liberty"

Click. Now there is the first Demo-
cratic governor helped elect in Kan
sas," he continued
At Rock Greek the train stopped for
minute and a photographer and a stem
ographer got the whole thing as a
citizen who climbed aboard informed
the party.
At Meriden the last stop was made and
the largest crowd or the trip greeted the
party. The train was quickly filled and
Col. Bryan even gave up ms seat TO an
old man with cane VINO was trying e
get out of the crowd in the aisle In his
Meriden talk Col. Bryan dwelt on the
subject of Imperialism and said; I'm
1896 we had an army OF 25,00u. IN 1898
Mr.. Mckinley called for 100000 more
which is the smallest army that can be
maintained with policy of imperial

r. M. Rose, Col. Bryan's private Sec
rotary, travels with him and takes every
speech he makes, no matter how short
in short hand. He has over 100 stenog-
raphers' books filled with the speeches
that Col. Bryan has made since the last
tongues end concerning Col. Bryan.
How tall is Col. Rryan2" was asked.
"a bout FIVE eleven" answered Rose
How much does he weight"
"a round 200.'

Yes said Riddle.
We'll, that came near causing tFou-
ble,n said Rose You see Mr.. Bryan
has a little woody dog about six inches
high and a foot long that is the pet of
the family. When the Kansas delega-
ton was in Lincoln they saw the dog
and one of them wanted to furnish the
colonel with what he termed "a real nice
dog as though the family dog was rath-
eF poor article That made young Mr..
Bryan rather mad at the Kansas dele
cation.
Evidently Col. Bryan does not believe
in railroad passes. When the conductor
started through the car soon after leav-
ing Atchison several members of the
party sorted out their passes until they
found the right one. When the eonduc-
tor reached Col. Bryan ne received two
silver dollars and HANDED back the
change
From the time the limits of North To-
peaZa were reached Col. Bryan was busy
on the rear platform bowling to the peo-
pie standing along the track He seat

through the yards doffed his hat to the
railroad men lined up on each side of the
track

SUGAR is SCARCE.
Say Refineries Who Are Interested
in Keeping Up Prices

New York, Aug. 2S.-Mr. James H.
Post, president of the new National Re
filming company, which includes the
Dosehef, Millenhauer and the old Ma
tional sugar refineries, interviewed re-
garding the recent fluctuations in the
sugar market said:
"Our adyices indicate that one large
Chicago jobber did cut the price II
cents per hundred pounds and that the
other jObbers in protection prompt

restored
The decline, however, was temporary
and in view of the strong position of
whatever why price cutting should take
place. 1 do not know of a period when
there has been such a scarcity OF re-
fined sugar throughout the country
And this is the result of very natural
causes. Retailers generally and, in
deed, some of the wholesalers. have
been exceedingly skeptical in regard to

it is not a question of refining sugar
1t is indeed a question OF pts chasing

COG WHEEL ROUTE.
Pixies Peak Railway Inaugurates
Sunrise Excursions


Nearly all visitors to Colorado have as
their objective point, Pixies Peak. At
least 1t is their ambition to say they
have set foot on the top of the highest
peak in the world that is reached by rail,
Many people have attempted to and
have succeeded in walking to the top
and again many have either gone by
carriage or burro but it has always been
the universal opinion of all who have
reached the top by these means, that
the Cog Wheel Route is by far the
cheapest railroad fare in the world. Only
last week a gentleman from ST. Louis
made two unsuccessful attempts to walk,
each time going little farther. He had
to take the Cog line back. and in con-
versatien with a State Journal represent
tative said that he would have to give
it up and the next time he came to Man
itou the first thing he would do after
Pixies Peak by the Cog line,
Many improvements have been made
during the past two years and are no.
tieeable. The greatest being the obser-
walton tower at the very top and above
the signal station. To those who have
never taken the trip to Pixies Peak it is
really one of the grandest trips in Col
orado. great many people who visit
Manitou and Colorado Springs year af-
ter year, make the trip each time. 1t is
indeed grand and the scenery en- route
and after arriving at the top is such
that one never can forget 1T.
A new feature is the sunrise excursion
Springs $3.50 a. m. every Thursday morn
ing, arriving at the top in time to see
the most beautiful sunrise the eye was
ever permitted to witness.
