HON. WILLIAM J. BRYAN.
Speaks Of His Future Plans AS
A Political Leader.

Lincoln, Neb., April 25.-In a
statement given publicity to
night w. J. Bryan says in effect
that he has no intention OF iu-
tentions of seeking a third nom
lnation for the Presidency. Mr..
Bryan's announcement is in
answer to an article in an article
IN an Eastern paper specializing
on his plans as a political leader
Mr.. Bryan said:

another Presidential nomination

date again it will be because it
seems necessary Ior the advance
ment of the principles to which

seem probable, | shall, however,
take an interest III politics for
several years yet, If l live, and
can be relied upon to support
those who as candidates advance
democratic principles and who
can be entrusted to enforce them
if elected.
Il have no enemies to punish.
No matter what a man may have
said or done against the ticket
III 1896 or in 1900. that man be
comes my friend the moment be
accepts Democratic principles.
Neither have | any disposition
to reward political friends at the
expense of our cause. No matter
what man may have said or
cone for the ticket in 1896 or
1900 that man becomes an op-
pOnent the moment he turns
against Democratic principles
Political battles are fought, not
i'll the past or ii the future, but
In the present.. The heretofore
cannot be recalled, and the here
after cannot be anticipated, but
the now is all important.

Personal Charm.

The women who ale most
loved are not by any means al
ways the most beautiful; but
they have that indescribable
something that. for lack of a bet
ter term, we call personal charm.
Their natural and gracious man>
ner, their thoughtfulness for
others, the blended good sense
and wit Of their conversation,
and, abo,e all, their mysterious
power of sympathy, draw the
hearts of friends to them as the
moon attracts the waters. 1t is
strange how you are often
thoroughly disillusioned the
moment a woman opens her
mouth. You think to yourself
as you notice the classic contour
OF face, what a charming per-
sonallty she must be But the
lines about her mouth as she be-
gins to speak, her choice of
words, her hard and rasping
tone, lead to an instant revision
of the opinion. Again, have you
not often found that a rather
plain and unattractive face has
been lit up IN conversation with
an inner light, that the liquid
tones Of we'll modulated voice
have stolen into your heart, and
that delicacy of insight has cap
tured your imagination? Beauty
Of spirit has more than made up
for the lack of physical attractive
pess. And there are no accom-
plishments Of music, art, or
languages that are quite 50 wins
SOME as sanity, efficiency, and
synlpathy.-The Watchman.

"The -Four teen Mistakes of
Life"

An English paper gives a list
of what it terms THE fourteen
mistakes of life" While there
are undoubtedly other mistakes
than those mentioned, the list
is a fairly comprehensive one
1t is a great mistake to set up
our own standard Of right and
wrong, and Judge people accord
ing ly; to measure the enjoyment
Of others by our own; to expect
uniformity of opinion in this
world; to look for judgement
and experience in youth; to en-
deavor to mold all dispositions
alike; to look for perfection in
our own actions; to worry our
selves and others with what CAM
not be remedied; not to yield in
immaterial matters; not to allie
viate all that needs alleviation so
far as lies IN our power; not to
make allowances tor the lnhr-
mites of others; to consider
everything impossible that we
cannot perform; 10 believe only
what our finite mirds can grasp,
to expect to be able to under>
stand everything.
And the last and greatest mis-
take of all is to live for time
alone, when any moment may
launch us into eternity.

"Arvenius Carobolineum" is

covery which it IS said will pre-
vent the decay Of nets, seines,

More than $4,000 worth Of

The following story comes
from North Carolina: The
Neuse River is high over its
banks at kinstOn and other
points. In the overhowed
meadows the fish have come in
to the shallow water, and the
fact has been taken advantage of
by people who are going atte-
the fish ard shooting them with
guns or else laying in wait and
killing them with sticks In
places where the fish are unable
to move rapidly.
At this time the fisheries Of
the United States represent an
investment of about 500, 900, 900,
giving employment to 200 900
persons, and are worth to the
fishermen about S5o,ooo,ooo in
round mum mbers. While the bulk
of the fishery is carried on along
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts,
in 1880 there were invested N
the fisheries of the Great Lakes
over 50, 900, 900, which yielded
to the fishermen 100000 and
employed 5000 persons.

The average tax value Of land
in North Carolina is four dollars
and ten cents. Mecklen burg
county's average tax value of
land is eight dollars and seven-
ty events, or one hundred per
cent greater than the average for
the State. This enhanced valu
alton is due to Mecklenburg's

Mr.. Wu's Nice Little Jokes.

Apropos Of the visit of the
Chinese minister, Mr.. Wu Ting
Fang, to the State last week,

about him in Washington will

great reputation for bright
speeches and quick wit.
A short time ago there was a
quiet little dinner in the course
of which Mr. Wa was to speak.
lie began with u compl!m entary
allusion to American ways and
customs, but said: "There are
a few things about Oriental
civilization superior to your
own" There had been some
beastlv weather that week and
he turned to Willis Moore, the
weather bureau schi~f, close by.
"For instance" he said. hercely,
eve in China would long ago
have cut of this young man S
head"
1t dazed the company for a
moment, bot it soon grasped the
playful allu,ion to the weather
maker, and roundly greeted the
particularly apropos remark.
The Chinese minister is a
great admirer of American wo>
men. On the occasion of a big
iunket to the west he was one Of
the large party made up of ofh>
cials, members of Congress, the
diplomatic corps, the press. etc.

SITUATION IN winfield
Is Serious And Open Warfare Is
Expected.
TOPEKA PLAN is ADOPTED.

Winfield Kan, Feb. 16.-The city is
in state of anarchy. Disregard for
law has multiplied and Winfield has
never been in a worse condition.
Everybody is looking for tragedy
and it will be miraculous if one does
not occur.
There have been dozen fights and at
least 100 instances of personal insults
calling for fight.
The jointists made threat that one
church would be smashed for every
joint injured. The destruction of the
front door and the windows in three
sides of the United Brethren church is
the first carrying out of the threat,
The house of Mrs. Hahn was stoned
and poison was put in the well supply
ing another family, and the family was
saved only by speedy, energetic medical
assistance. The whole city is in an
uproar. The Rev. Mr.. Henderson, was
warned that he would be killed if he
showed himself, but he carried a shot
gun with him and was unmolested
AT mass meeting in the opera
house the Topeka resolution was
adopted and an ultimatum given to
the five remaining joints allowing
until February 20 to get their fixtures
out or more smashing would occur
Four hundred men pledged themselves
to stand by the resolution. Claude
Crook, prohibitionist, was struck on
the head with gun and knocked
senseless. Others sptang to his rescue,
but the joint element was strong, and
with guns and clubs knocked dozen
men senseless. A panic ensued, in
which men, women and children were
trampled on. The vicious element
tried to turn off the gas, but was
thwarted. A catastrophe was narrowly
averted. The situation is serious and
open warfare is expected at any
moment.
