MARSHALL. MISSOURI, sRpT. 81, 1900.

Bryan, who could foresee no improvement
over the hard times Of 80 to '96 under a con.
tinuation Of the gold standard says that our
present prosperity Is not real. He was no
less wrong III the first instance than the sec.
ond. Put the question to yourselves. II a

stock better and your land Of a higher vaiua-

employment more easily obtained Put not
only the question to yourselves, but the ans.
wer, which Candidate Bryan desiring to be
president, must needs deny. Is II strange
that the Bryan who denies the fact should also
evade its cause and attribute the result to the
crops and outside conditions! Not at ALL; II

Sulzer, whose verbosity has made him use.

now widely circulating his speeches, was the
manager Of the fund Of $I,soo raised for the
benefit Of Boer widows and children. Of which
all but SIS was spent in arrangements the
heaviest expense being the wine bills. He is
also the man whose candidacy for vice.presi.

his " party. His preten,ious sincerity in

A LIST OF HITCHCOCK'S DEAD

MANY Bodies Are Yet Unburied, a.
They Are Too Badly Deaomposed
to BE Handled.

Hitchcock, Texas, September 1.-THE
Post correspondent has been unable unl Il
the present to write up anything about
the terrible disaster Of Saturday.
The storm ragged furiously until Sunday
morning, wreck.ng every house and oblt-
Grating scores. Death and destruction pre-
vailed. About p. m. a tide wave swept
over all of east Hitchcock, drowning many.
The prairie is literally strewn with thous-
ands of carcasses of animals and scores Of
unidentified human bodies are lying on
the prairie between the Santa Fe tracks
and Hall bayou. By daylight hundred or
more wounded, and nearly all nude, Gal
vestonians had reached here. They had
chung to debris and drifted with the waves
to our community. The hotel Is the only
building which was safe to put the wound

Will GALVESTON BE REBUILT?
a QUESTION THAT is BEING DIS
CUssED IN NEW YORK.
HIVE Valuable Holdings, and
VIII Undoubtedly Rebuild.

New York, September 13-Railroad men
in New York have been discussing the
probability of Galveston being rebuilt on
a S. OF less Liable to the onslaughts Of the
Cuff of Mexico than the fiat sandy island
that has been twice denuded by wind and
wave. 1t is rumored that the Southern
Pacific company will head a movement to
build the city on spot forty miles to the
southwest OF Its present location at the
mouth of the Brazos river.
But representatives Of the railway sys-
TENS which connected Galveston with the
the present disaster say that her residents
will rebuild on the same sand Island in
spi c OF the terrible experiences. They
bslieve that Galveston, injured financially
though her citizens have been, wll be re-
built by her citizens without the aid OF
outside capital
Charles II. Tweed. chairman, and D.
o. Mills Of the Southern Pacific board OF
directors both said last night that the
directors had not discussed the question
CT rebuilding Galveston.
The railroads." said Mr.. Tweed, will
OF course have to replace their own prop
erty. But do not think that they will
cooperate in any movement to replace
the town. The residents Of Galveston
do not need their help for that purpose.
Galveston is. of course, in dire need
OF immediate relief Just now There arc
many OF her citizens who hav so suf-
fered az to be keenly In want OF financial
assistance. But Galveston Is wea tbs
