BRYAN AND JOHNSON.
The Speakers at a Pro- Boer
Meeting in Cleveland, o.

Cleveland. Jan. 6.-Four thousand
people attended a pro-Boer meeting in
Gray's armory Sunday afternoon. An
unexpected event in the meeting was
the appearance of w. J. Bryan, who is
in this city. Toward the cose of other
speeches Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Johnson
entered the hall. The audience rose
and shouted the names of Bryan" and
j Johnson" Upon the stage were seven
Beers, who had been in some of the
early conflicts of their countrymen
against the English forces.
The principal address was by John J..
Lentz. When the formal speeches of the
afternoon were concluded Mr.. Bryan
spoke about five minutes. He said he
was in entire sympathy with the intent
of the meeting, eulogized the fighting
South African farmers and urged them
to continue the struggle. He said he
was glad the war had cost England SO
dearly and that the disastrous cost in
money and life would be a much need
ed lesson for the English government,
because it would teach and has already
taught a lesson that will not soon be
forgotten.
Mayor johnson also spoke briefly and
said that he was in full sympathy with
the intent of the meeting and expressed
similar sentiments to those expressed
by Mr.. Bryan in that the English peo-
pie generally are opposed to the war
adopted. 1t will be sent to the president
of the United States.
Mr.. Bryan will go to Wooster o., to
speak at a Jackson day banquet to-
morrow night. He will go to New Ha-
ven, Conn, where he will then speak at
a Jackson day banquet on Wednesday.
Asked if he considered Mayor Tom l..
Johnson for the presidency in 1904, Mr..
Bryan said:
There is nobody in the United States
who is at present qualified to name the
Democratic candidate. 1t would hardly
be proper for me to assume the right
to discuss any particular presidential
candidate at present. This is because
1 am not prepared to discuss the rela-
tive merits of men who might be asso-
ciated with the Democratic nomination
AS far as Mr. johnson is concerned,
every well informed man in the coun-
try knows of Mr.. Johnson and of his
work; but when you come to discuss
presidential possibilities, that is another
question"

GO TO COLLEGE.
That Is What Majority of the Rail
road Presidents Advise

President Charles FThwing, of West
ern Reserve university. recently asked a
number of prominent railroad preSi-
dents to give him their views on the adj
visibility of a boy of IS years taking
a college course prior to entering upon
a railroad career. The general meaning
OF the replies which have been received
President Thwing sums up by saying
that the majority of all the great rail-
road presidents believe that the advant
age of a college education far outweighS
the disadvantages for one who is to
enter the railroad service. Most, though
not all, railroad presidents declared
that it is better for a man who pro-
poses to enter the railroad service to
take first a college course.

Only Four Little Roads Became
Bankrupt During 1901.

The past year has been remarkable
for the almost entire cessation of rail-
way bankruptcies. In no year since
the courts began to take possession of
insolvent roads for the benefit of their
creditors has the number of receiver
ships been so insignificant. In fact it
may be said that no railway of any i'm
portance in the United States became
insolvent during 1901. Only four small
roads from ten to thirty miles were
placed under receivers, their total
length amounting to 20 miles, and their
total bonds and capital stock to about

PUMPED WELL DRY.
Santa Fe Had No Water For Twenty
Minutes SATURDAY..

For twenty minutes Saturday after
noon the Santa Fe was unable to pump
any water from it's well near the Kaw
river. At a quarter of it was found
that the supply had given out, so the
machinery was stopped until five min
utes after the hour, when with low pres
sure work was resumed. The shortage
is not due to the river becoming any
lower than it has been for the last
month, but to the exceptionally heavy
supply which the shop plant used Fri
day night and Saturday.

gentleman for the sum of $500. The
purchasers name is Walcott.
Several weeks ago when the al

DR.. Hartman, the Famous GynascoIo-
gist and Inventor Of Pe-ru-na Of
ferS to Treat Women Free During
the Summer Months.

America is the land of nervous
women. The great majority of nervous
women are SO because they are suffer-
ing from some form of female disease.
BY far the greatest number of female
troubles are caused by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh
despair of recovery. Female trouble is
so common, so prevalent, that they ac-
cept it as almost inevitable The great
est obstacle in the way of recovery is
that they do not understand that it is
catarrh which is the source of their
illness. In female complaint, ninety
nine cases out of one hundred are moth
ing but catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located.

June 26, which was the date King
Edward selected for his coronation,
is the same date originally fixed for
the browning of Victoria in 1888. The
young queen insisted upon changing it
to June rs, because June 20 was the
anniversary of the death of King
George ".
When the white coronation robes
were decided upon it was pointed out
that they had only been used on
three occasions, and, curiously
enough, each wearer came to a vio-
lent end. Richard ii. was crowned in
white satin. Next was the unfortun-
ate Henry VI. Despite the strong
persuasion of the Earl of Pembroke,
Charles |. was also invested at his
coronation in white satin.
The king has always had super.
stition that he would never be crown.
ed 1t was pointed out by the super
stitious that in the program of the
procession in the thirteenth carriage
was to be seated the Duke d'Aosta Of
Italy, Archduke Francis Ferdinand OF
Austria and hereditary Grand Duke

of the assassin.
In February, 1901, the kings Eek
pectation" was figured at fourteen
years. With allowance for moral
hazard" this was reduced to ten
years. Four big insurance compan.
les in New York reported the king a
bad risk. A New York doctor said
he had Bright's disease.
An old gypsy saying passed through
London to the effect that the prince
of Wales would be killed as soon as
great honor was conferred upon
him."
From Edward l. down sorrow, war
fare and domestic tragedy have at

the magic number seven might turn
