WOMAN
Seconded the Nomination OF VIM. j..
Bryan Mrs. Cohen OF Utah The
FIRST Ia Such a Role.

Kansas City, July William
Jennings Bryan is the first President
ial nominee of the Democratic
I party to ever have his nomination
seconded 10y a woman.
Mrs. Joseph NJ. Cohen, delegate
! from Utah, is the first ever to do it.
The opportunity to do this one
thing has been Mrs. Cohen's am
bition. She has accomplished one
OF her purposes and now she is
happy. True, she was very happy
when the platform was adopted and
she was chcered so vociferously by
Tammany, but her achievement Of
later is far greater
Mrs Cohen was the last delegate
to second the nomination of the
Nebraskan. y mighty cheer went
up as she advanced to the platform,
and as she faced the assemblage the
noise WAS terrific. The ovation
lasted several minutes, and when il
finally died down Mrs. Cohen began
her speech.
She was evidently nervous, for
her voice was low and faint. She
could hardly be heard at first, but
she gained courage and spoke
louder at the end, Her seconding
speech was short, and wnen she
concluded she was greetec enthusi.
astically.
Her speech concluded the second
ing addresses and the secretary
began to call the roll of the States.
The miners at the Remington
mines came out on strike Mon
day The company wanted to cut
the price 20 cents per car. The
miners ask a raise of s cents per car.
The miners claim that at the present
high price Of every thing they can
barely live on the wages they are
now receiving and ask for a slight
increase The operators say that
they cannot longer afford to pay the
present price and unless they reduce
the wages of the miners, it will be
necessary to shut down the mines.
Taxing 1t either way it is good
evidence of mckinley prosperity. -

.Not Afraid of the Grand Jury"

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-''Not afraid of the grand
jury" What! Has it come TO this?
Well, that is the kind of talk that is
floating from the lips of people who
sympathize with the open and insult
ing defiance of law by the Interstate
base ball league.
1t has been said over and over again
in my presence that the grand jury will
let the base ball law-breaking 60
Then why not let thief go? Why not
let a forger go? Why not have an
archy galore?
Not afraid of the grand jury!" 1t
looks very much like it, when men
who know themselves to be law
breakers go through the mockery Of
having themselves arrested and bound
over to the grand jury Criminals Who
really are afraid of the grand jury
have a horror of being bound over to
it. The last thing they want to face
is the grand jury. How long IS this
mockery of law and Christian liberty
to go on in this city? How long will
the voters tolerate officials who take
part in such mockery of law?
Alas! Do they mean to insinuate that
the officials. connected with the grand
jury on all sides or On any side can
be tempered with? Surely not Do
they mean to insinuste that these of
ficials are in sympathy with their fla
grant Sabbath dissertation and that
law-abiding and Christian people can
not have justice before the grand
jury?
mot afraid of the grand jury,"
When every trustworthy lawyer in this
city knows and declares that the law
on the subject is plain and that there
is no question about the base ball
players having broken the Sabbath
law. Shame on any lawyer who con-
sents to defend such people.
Not afraid of the grand jury," The
Intelligencer has truthfully pointed
out that the sympathizers with these
Sabbath breakers are in the minority
by 1000 to 10000 or one to twenty.
And is it possible that a majority of
the grand jury should happen to be
drawn from this insignificant 1000?
And if it should so happen. is it true
that mems sympathy and prejudice for
this form of lawlessness can override
law, truth and justice in the grand
jury room? Has it come to this. that
sympathy and prejudice has more to
do with the manner in which law
breakers shall be dealt with than law
and justice has?
\ Not afraid of the grand jury" IN
the name of law, truth and justice,
why not afraid of it? Sabbath viola
tors not afraid of the grand jury ?
Who, then. need be afraid of it? All
eyes on the grand jury. All eyes on
the officials who have to do with it.

The soft, delicate Isle thread and
silk fancies that run riot in milady's
brain.
The open work is rather more dar-
ing this season than usual, but lovely,
and the richest and most elegant pat
terms are in the quiet, sober black
stockings.
Up and down stripes are going to be
most worn-they're the most graceful.
too, still there are some exquisite Gre
pom fancies that show the beautiful
richness of black, mesh open work, ap-
pllque and lace insertion effects.
And all priced so reasonably.
Think of Full Egyptian Lace Fill
gree Black Stockings, with double
heels and toes, in those assorted pat
terms we speak of above, for 75c a

Then there are the French Lace
Lisle Black Stockings, Rembrandt

soles, that have never been equaled
here or elsewhere at three pair for a
dollar.
If you like the fancy eolored kinds
we have them-a rainbow collection.

advertisements.
u for
Women

ANY article, whatever its merit,
must be made known to the public by
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for a
thing, cannot do everything. 1t may
create a sale for a time, but in order
to insure a lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia +. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
IS lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements but solid facts.

The Light of History.

Imagination is the worlds enchanter.

heighten our joy. By it we turn what

circle home with halo. We see none

vision aud pattern Of things we wish.

does when he strives for his livelihood.
