ELOQUENT TRIBUTE BY BRYAN
Noted Nebraskan Praises the Late
President Mckinley and De-
nounces Anarchy.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 2O.-W. ]. Bryan
was the principal speaker at the Mem
orial exercises in the Lincoln Auditorium
last night He said in part:
1T is not strange that people bow as
one man over the bier of the illustrous
fellow citizen-not strange that the SOL
emn stiffness is broken only by the
change Of the sacred hymns which he
was wont to sing-not strange that all
hearts turn in sympathy to the hus-
bandless home at Canton.
THE presidents position made him a
part of the life of all his countrymen and
the circumstances which attended his
taking off added indignation to grief
mitigation that even one murderous
heart could be found in all the land and
grief that the wicked purpose Of that
heart should have been consummatcd
against one so gentle in spirit and so
kind in words and deed.
This is neither the time For place for
discussion Of remedies for anarchy. It
can have no defenders in the United
States government as anarchy, that So
ciety can exist without it is harmful even
when no violence is advocated, for it is
the duty of every citizen of the republic
to strive to make his government perfect
in every detail and this purpose is not
only weakened, but entirely destroyed
by the doctrine that all governments are
bad and should be overthrown."
Mr.. Bryan said no one appreciated
more than he the private character and
public virtue of William Mckinley. He
referred feelingly to the death bed
scenes at Buffalo. and the Christian for
| titude displayed. His blameless life, ap-
| proachable manner and generous con-
| duct were pictured.

TELEGRAPH WIRES SILENCED
Not a sounder licked as the Body Of
the Nations Dead Was Lowered
Into the Grave.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
Chicago, Sept. 20-One feature abso-
lutely unique in history characterized
the Mckinley obsequies.
It was the silencing Of the telegraph.
Never before since electricity was first
put to use as a means of communica-
ton from city to city and from country
to country has there taken place any
thing parallel. in a small way. what was
done this afternoon on a scale that was
gigantic.
Upon orders from the officials OF the
different telegraph companies. or upon
the common impulse of the presidents
where instructions were not received, the
telegraphic system of the United States
was hushed for five minutes at 2:3O p.
M, the hour set for lowering the presi-
dents body into the grave at Canton.
At that moment on all the huge net
york of wires from the Atlantic to the
Pacific not a "sounder' in the land gave
a single tick, and the great ocean cables
were pulseless as the corpse of the late
chief magistrate himself.
The wires of the Associated Press. the
Postal Telegraph company, the North
American Telegraph company. the Chi
cago & Milwaukee Telegraph and all
similar organizations were included In
the general stoppage.

the motives and character of the men
who are charged by the people with pub
