WILLIAM j. BRYAN.
A Brief Account Of the Democratic candi-
 date for President.
From the Los Angeles Saturday Post.l

From the Les Angeles Saturday Post.l
 William J. Bryan was born in Salem, H., March l9, 1860, so that at the pres ent time he is little over 40 years of age. Adlui E. Stevenson, Bryan's run ming mate, was e5 on the 2Sd of October. Theodore Roosevelt is F, and William Mckinley is 57 years of age. At the age of IS, Bryan entered Whipple Academy, the preparatory department of Illinois College, at Jacksonville, III. Mir Bryan continued on through Illinois College. Atan early age Mir. Bryan entered into public spea king, throwing himself with feF- vorinto broad public questions. He then studied law at the Union College of Law in Chicago. Out of school hours his time was spent in the office of ex- Senator Lyman Trumbull. July 4, 1883, Bryan began to practice law in the office of Brown and Kirby, in Jackson vile, III. He married Miss Baird, his college sweetheart, October l, 1881. October l. 1887, Mir. Bryan went to Lincoln, Neb., and entered into law partnership with A. R. Talbot. He entered the political campaign of 1888 to speak for J. Sterling Morton. In 1890, he ran against J. w. Connell for congress, and was elected by plural fly of 6,7l3. While in the House he received the distinguished honor for so young member. of being placed on the ways and means committee. He was reelected to congress the follow ing term, which was a signal victory inasmuch as the state had been reap portioned into congressional districts, the new district being strongly repuL- liean. In 1894 Mr. Bryan ran for the United States senate, his opponent being Senator Thurston As the state was heavily Republican, Bryan was defeated. It was during this campaign that Bryan and Thurston conducted series of joint debates. which attracted an immense deal of attention and were characterized by spirit of friendliness and fairness on the part of both con testants. On September l, 1891, Mr. Bryan became chief of the editorial staff of the Omaha World Herald. Mr. Bryan was nominated for the presi- dency in Chicago in 1896, on the fifth ballot, one of his opponents being Mr. Stevenson, who was nominated in the city four years earlier for the vice presidency.
 While both republican and demo- cratic candidates for the presidency and vice-presideucy are Interesting public speakers, Mr. Bryan is by far the leader While in this city last spring, he spoke to almost II, ,o09 people in the velodrome, aud, although he had spoken twice before that day his superb convictions were conveyed tc his hearers by strong voice and im. pressiye manner. Mir. Bryan is a tireless and effective campaiguer. MT
 Bryan resides at Lincoln, Neb., with
 his wife and three children Mr. Bryar
 is universally liked and respected by
 persons of all political persuasions.

Some miners at the San Simon min ing camp, six miles south of Stein's Pass, last week prospectedi an old shaft which long had been abandoned. At the depth of thirty-five feet they found body of carbonate ore, three feet wide. They took sample of it which was sent to the Fl Paso smelt- ing works for analysis. It was found to contain thirty per cent of copper and six and eight-tenths ounces of silver. It had fifteen per cent of iron and thirty-six per cent of silica. If the abandoned shafts of this camp carry such ore what must there be in the properties that the owners thought worth saving I'll hordsburg Liberal.

S. c. Bagg, of the Los Angeles An vertiser, accompanied by his son and another young man, passed though Kingman Tuesday last on their way to the country north of the Colorado river in this county. The party had GOV cred wagon drawn by two mules and were we'll supplied with mining and prospecting tools. They also had a complete assaying outfit. Mr. Bagg at one time edited the Prospector at Tombstone. He will probably dispose of his business in Los Angeles and again return to Arizona to make his home. He is an enthusiastic prospec- tor and we hope he will strike big copper bonanza in northern Mohave.

aminer Tucker to-day took possession Of the
German National Bank at Newport. KY, and

NJ Brown. the individual bookkeeper and assist
ant cashier was missing and that partial in

teen years and of its most trusted men.

ments TO the press as late as last midnight The
widest scenes were witnessed in Newport to-
AdN, ana serious trouble Is feared tomorrow,
when the officers and directors viii be con-
fronted by people who have hunted for them in

lives with Browns father. Paris c Brown ex-
Mayor Of Newport. and one of the leading busi-
ness men of Cincinnati. Last summer Brown

he is said to have associated with in Cincinnati
wanted TO accompany him. but this was denied
her, When she ascertained, some time after
ward. that another woman was with Brown on
his Western trip the Cincinnati woman gave the
bank officials some information that brought
about a crisis.
The only farewell letter that Brown is known
10 have left TO this woman whose apart
ments are in Ninth-st, Cincinnati, and in this
letter he admits that he had secured about all
that he could get. and that the time had come
TO say farewell. Brown. il is said, was a great
poker player, with the limit never too high and
he had been q punger on horse races for years
His bets on the races. IL is reported, were fire.
quently too high for the poolrooms in Coying-
ton, KY and he had brokers in Chicago and

How many of you would will
ingly spend all your days in a
badly ventilated, close, ill-favor-
ed room?
Yet that's the kind of foot
room your feet usually occupy,
with resultant tired, hot, tender
feet.
There are shoes made with
an ever open window to the out
side air, a shoe giving perfect
ventilation to the foot-a pat
ented shoe.
Probably you didn't know it,
for the patentee, like all inven-
tors, was impractical, wasn't a
shoe-man, didn't know how to
sell his shoes.
We happened to learn of
them, as it happens the maker
is the maker of some of our
shoes.
Knowing he made nothing
but good shoes. and wishing to
test the value of this ventilation
we ventured to buy them all.
Buying them all enables us to
offer a through and through S.
shoe for $3.50 and $4-good
alike for the man who only
wants a good SIS shoe and the
man interested in ventilation.
