BRYAN CERTIFIED
Pleased at Populists' Action in Endors-
 ing Stevenson

Lincoln, Neb., August 2S.-Mr. Bryan to- day expressed himself as highly gratified over the action of the Populist National Committee in Chicago in endorsing the nomination of MT. Stevenson for the Vice Presidency. He said:
 q am very glad that MT. Stevenson has been endorsed by the Populists. He is thor oughly imbued wI..- the principles set forth in the Kansas City platform and deserves the support of all who believe in those principles. To have nominated any one else would have weakened the ticket. The Populist organization will profit rather than suffer by this evidence of its willing ness to place the triumph of principles above partisanship."

RAILROAD PASSES


Proved the Ruin of This Once Prosper
Kansas Farmer.
Wichita (kan-) Cor. Chicago Inter
Ocean, This is the true story of the
undoing of a Kansas farmer, and his
particular case has many dupHcats
in the Sunffower state Politics was
his Nemesis. and his love for a rail-
road pass led him into all the trouble.
John Butternew was prosperous Ger
ann farmer of the Third district. He
had a fine farm. and it was we'll
stocked with blooded cattle and good
horses He worked hard and prosper
ed He had a pleasant home and some
promising children. The neighbors
pointed him out as happy soul. That
was ten years ago. In those days q
tall man. fashi1y dressed, visited the
town where Butternew lived. He wore
diamonds and carried a pocketful OF
annual passes over the big railroads
The sight of these passes was Butter
news undoing Why should 1 not
carry passes2' ButterRew asked him
self Il could travel then and have
good time for nothing" The politi-
clan told the plain old farmer 1T was
easy to be elected to Office. and that
passes would then come from ali sides.
So Butternew entered the race for
congress and was elected. He forgot
to count the cost in enemies and
money, but he got the passes. Then
he commenced to travel. He neglected
the farm to see the sights in Chicago,
simply because he could ride on the
| train free; he paid big hotel bills at
Galveston and st. Paul, for the same
| reason, and he rode to Topeka twice
| a week, just to experience the sensa-
| ton of riding for nothing. Time sped
| by. The time for the renewal of the
passes came around. Butternew liked
| the Office, even if it was a losing thing
| financially, SO he announced himself
| as a candidate for reelection. He got
| the nomination by a scratch. His op-
| pOnent, a wealthy man, spent lots Of
money in the campaign, and Butter
| new was forced to mortgage his home
| to raise the cash to fight him with.
| The race was close, but Butternew was
| defeated. and his passes were taken
| up. By this time Butternew had the
| train-riding mania. He could not stay
| at home Instead of trying to retrieve
| his fallen fortunes he neglected bust
| ness, and all the spare money he had
was used in trying to get back in pol
| itics- But his power lost. For
tune was against him. Last week the
sheriff sold his homestead under mort
gage foreclosure Butternew is a wan
derer, his family is destitute, and he
still c1ings to political hope.

Coined Many Miles Away.

The latest marvel that has been
worked by electricity is the telepantO-
graph. BY means of this instrument
a drawing, letter, photograph, diagram
or any drawn or printed matter may
be te1egraphed to any distance over a
single wire. When message is to be
sent by this system it is simply writ
ten, drawn or photographed on a thin
metal sheet and placed in a transmit
ter. A switch is then thrown open
and, away at the other end of the
tiny wire that stretches over hill and
valley, another electric machine draws
a perfect reproduction of it on paper,
wood or metal. If the message is re-
ceived on paper two copies are made
at the same time If more copies than
this are wanted the machine will en-
grave it directly on zinc or copper in
stead of writing it on paper, and from
this etching machine thousands of
copies may be printed
