BRYAN MISREPRESENIED.
Someone Has Talked Without Authority-He
Outlines the Platform.

Lincoln, Neb.. June 25.-W. J. Bryan
returned. today. from his Wisconsin
fishing trip ana will remain here until
after the Democratic national conVen-
ton. He said he had been placed in Il
wrong position by some one who had
presumed to outline his plan of cam
paign. Any statements made by any
body in regard to campaign plans are
without foundation or authority" he
added
Mr.. Bryan was asked whether he
could say anything in regard to the
he replied: 1T is safe to assume that
the Kansas City platform will reahirm
the Chicago platform and will contain
nothing which can be construed as Il
surrender or modification Of the plat
form on the old issues.
1T is equally certain that there will
be 4 strong and definite plank against
the trusts. There is also no doubt that
the plank against Imperialism will be
clear and explicit. Alilitaryism will be
denounced and sympathy expressed for
the Beers. This much is evident from
what has already taken place.
Il do not care to discuss the Vice
Presidential candidacy now, further
than to say that assume that the can
didate nominated for the Vice Presi-
dency will be in harmony with the
platform"

price of spruce in the face Of the dan
gerous stagnation Of the market. has
fallen to pieces, the members 2ccuS-
ing each other of breaking over the

adopted at its meeting several months
ago.
jam of logs above Lincoln in Pc
nobscot is regarded here as something
of Godsend in that not one of the
mills has any orders worth mentioning
and could not be operated at profit.
The jam has shut off the supply o.
logs at an OppOrtune time.
Bangor dealers will not answer the
question whether or not the PenObscoi
mlllmen want to perpetuate the Jam,
IN order to find good reason for shut
ting down, but they do not disguise
the fact that the market conditions are
not improved and that they do not
want the logs TO saw at present.

NEW MILITARY DEVICE.
A Tool For Intrenching Recently
Tested at Peekskin, N. Y.

A new tool for digging rifle pits
quickly so that soldiers shall not be
exposed longer than necessary has just
been tried and approved at the nation
al guard camp at Peekskill, n. Y, says
the New York correspondent of the
Pittsburg Dispatch. The digger is a
heart shaped, concave blade of steel
six inches deep by five wide. 1t has
two small wooden handles, which are
attached conveniently for the use of
the soldier. There is n solid sharp
point to the blade and loop by which
the digger can be hung over the neck
of the canteen.
\ soldier throws himself on the
ground. takes out his trowel and in a
few minutes has a trench large enough
for him to lie in, with his earthwork
in front, and at the expenditure OF
very little labor. The whole affair
weighs only Il pound, so that it is not
cumbersome to carry. Officers and
men at Peekskill say that it is an ex-
cellent invention that should come into
common use.
