FREE HOTTIES BILL PASSED.
Senate Concurs In the House Measure
Vast Acres of Lands Opened.

Senate Concurs I'm the House Measure
Vast Acres of Lands Opened.
Washington, May 15.-The free
homes bill passed the senate today
without a roll call. There was not
one voice raised against 1t. The
presidents signature is now all that
is needed to bring to realization
the hopes of settlers who have taken
up lands upon Indian reservations In
the west which have been acquired
by the government through treaty
and purchase.
AS soon as the naval appropria-
ton bill has been disposed of In the
senate, Delegate Flynn, who has
been tIreless in his promotion of the
free homes bill with this session,
had Senator Nelson of Minnesota,
call up the free homes bill. Senator
Nelson asked that the free homes
bill as it passed the house be read
and put on its passage. There vas
no objection. When the bill had
been read and the question put by
President of the Senate Frye there,
were many yeas and no nays. The
bill was declared passed.
Delegate Flynn was wild with Joy.
He made a mad rush to the telegraph
Office to wire the good news to
Oklahoma.
Tonight telegraphs of congratula
ton are flowing in on him by the
bushel basket. He has received
hundreds of assurances that he will
be one of Oklahoma's first senators
when statehood is granted.
The bill provides that the govern
ment shall issue patents to actual,
bona fide settlers on agricultural
lands of Indian reservations opened
to settlement. These lands were
taken up by settlers. .swho contracted
to pay for them s1.25, to 1915 per
acre. By the terms of the bill the
| government assumes the payment of
the purchase price to the Indians
and changes the existing law rela-
tive to agricultural colleges 30 as to
insure the payment of the endow-
ments, which heretofore have come
out of the sale of public lands in casa
of deficiency. These payments In

has paid S3j, 900, 900. about 5000, 900
acres have been taken and about q

TIL nan. WILLIAM J. bQIAH
In Public or Private Life Exemplary
Always Battling for the Right
Careful of His Morals.

st. Louis, May 15.-In New
York special to the Republic,
James Creelman says:
The moral passion which dom
mates and enfolds Mr.. Bryan's
public life is also the key to his
private character. When Cicero
spoke the people said: GLOW
eloquent is Cicerow But when
Demosthenes spoke the people
said; "Let US go against Philip" ;"
There is something about Mr..
Bryan that makes all who asso-
ciate with him more earnest,
more ready to make sacrifices,
more Indifferent to mere abuse
and more intensely and pecu-
liarly American. There are no
secrets in his life. To be with
him is like walking on the sea
shore in the sunlight. At forty,
he has still the unsulled ideas,
the unbroken faith of a boy. And
any man may be made his com
rade if he will; nay, his very
brother
Mr.. Bryan is temperance in
carnate. He loves literature,
rather than art; the trout stream,
rather than the theater;the farm,
rather than the city; the small
church, rather than the cathedral
He loves men more than books,
and books more than money.
| have heard him talk of his
enemies without a word of bit
terness. | have heard him de
fend Mr. Mckinley from unjust
attacks. He loathes and avoids
personalities or abuse in conver-
sation. This is one of the noblest
attractive traits in his personal
life. He is decent and tolerant
i'll his speech; fair, just, even
TEN pered.
1t is true that Mr. Bryan is
provincial, but only in the sense
that Abraham Lincoln was prov
incial. He is careless of his
clothes, but careful of his NOR
ais. He can speok French OF
lead a cotlllion, but he can give
you in the purest and sweetest
English the story of the struggle
of man for liberty in every age,
and is familiar with the solid lit.
erature.of the world.
He has the outwardness of q
man who is big of mind as well
as of body. There is the rug
gedneSs of truth in all his ways.
He lives simple and sometimes
frugally, not because he cares
for money or because he does
, not know that there are other
more extravagant ways of living
but because his tastes are simple
The very simplicity of his life
and speech is corollary of his
native dignity. His quaint points
are the quaintnesses of his coun
try.
Like Lincoln, his peculiaritie:
are the signs of his pure ant
undiluted Americanism. Moth
: ing can be more graceful thai
his unaffected, sincere home life
| 1t may be true than many of tn,
. present elements of social life il
the White House would be modi
l fed if Mr.. Bryan should b,
: elected president, but he woult
be bringing to that place tn,
glory of a manhood that it ha
not known for many years. HI
will attract to the White Hous
! scholars, statesmen and philoso
pliers, rather than none
; changers or political harlots
s And the humblest man in tn
i nation would have access to tn
president.

THE FEAR THAT KILLS.
Had Starvation Itself, But Dread Of
It That Is Fatal.
New Orleans Times-Democrat)

New Orleans mes-DemOcrat)
Fear Of starvation will kill a man
many times quicker than starvation
ITSELF said an old deep water captain
the other night. I've seen that proven
more than once at sea. Back in 'S6,
TO give you an illustration, l was first
officer on a ship going from Frisco TO
San Salvador. Down about latitude Is
we picked uD eight men in boat.
They came of the Liverpool tramp
ship ScipiO, bound from Japan to New
York, and it seemed, from what they
told us, that her boiler had exploded
when they were somewhere off the
RevillagigedO islands. Anyhow, it blew
the daylightS out of the old tub, and
these men had all they could do 10 get
off before she sank.
The others on board went down
with the wreck. OF course, they had no
time to provision, and what little food
they We're able to snatch up as they
left ran out on the second day. Alto
gether. they had been afleat five days
when we picked them up, three days
without food of any kind, and every
man in the party looked to be on the
actual verge of starvation They had
passed through a horrible ordeal, to be
sure, but they were all big, hucky fell
lows, and the length or time they mad
been without food did not begin to ac-
count for their famished appearance
Their cheeks had fallen in, their eyes
were hollow. and they were so weak
they could hardly get aboard.
That wasn't caused by hunger but
fear of hunger. They were all rough.
nliterate sailors except one, who had
been mate and was rather a superior
sort Of man. | noticed that he was
much less affected by the experience
than the others. although he was the
smallest and frailest of the crowd phys
ically. 1 accounted for his condition
on the ground that he was a man of
moral fOrtitude, and did not allow him
self to give way to despair. Since
then / have seen professional fasters
who go without eating for a month at
a stretch and suffer no great discOm-
fort. If they were in an open boat,
with the chances of rescue one to "a
thousand, they would starve to death
in less than a third of that time
