said the other day: Il have just been
reading a sketch of the old frigate
Constitution, and it brings back to
me an incident in the history of that
ship which was closely connected with
my childhood, and which to this day
stands out vividly in my memory.
When | was about FIVE years old my
family was interested in the old Sal
isbury iron mine, which is, | suppose.
the oldest mine of real worth in the
United States. The first large anchor
for a United states warship to be
made in this country was made from
iron taken from that mine, for the
frigate Constitution. The anchor was
forged near Salisbury, and the pro
cess created a great amount of in

the anchor on. II was drawn by elev-
en- pairs Of oxen and when the day
came to start on it's journey over the
hills to the Hudson. where it was to
be received by Old Ironsides, holi-

FIGHT WITH A RAILROAD
of Discriminating Against n
Private Elevator Company
at Virginia..


BEATRICE, Neb.. Oct. s.-(speciai)-
There promises to be an interesting time
at Virginia. this county, in the near future
because the railroads at that place have
refused to give the virginia Grain and
Elevator company the right to erect its
elevator beside their track.
When the company was organized II
purchased the grain house OF ]. v. Allen,
situated upon the Missouri Pacific tracks.
After the sale had been made Mr.. Allen
was notified to remove his building from
their right-of-way before october %. Later
the traflc manager visited Virginia and
rescinded that order, but refused the ele-
vator company permission to enlarge the
building. which is too small to accommo-
date the business the company expects to
do. The railroad further refuses to con-
struct a sldetrack to an elevator that the
company may build upon private ground
adjoining the right-of-way.
The arbitrary action Of the railroad man.
ayers has so incensed the farmers COM
prising the elevator company that they de-
clare they will build, and II the railroads
refuse to build a track to them, they will
haul their grain to the cars. or to other
points.
The men who comprise the elevator COM
pany are among the wealthiest farmers in
eastern Gage county. They are the men
who grow the grain and are in the fight
to a finish. The outcome will be watched
with interest by residents of this section.

FAIL TO WARM UP TO BRYAN

TECUMSEH, Neb.. oct. e.-(special Tele-
gram.)-An audience OF not over 500 people,
including the men, women and children,
gathered to hear Hon. w. ]. Bryan speak
in Tecumeeh this afternoon. The principal
ingredients of his speech were wind and
funny stories. He presumed to discuss the
leading questions Of the day. but his dis
position of them was by no means satisfac-
tory and his audience was a cold one and
II was by the greatest effort that he Sc
cured applause. The republican party and
the administration we're scored up one
side and down the other. The president
deserved some little praise, he admitted.
for his effort to settle the strike. Things
seem prosperous enough. he said, but the
country Is on the verge Of a great calamity,
as there is by no means the money In the
country that there seems to be. Mr.. Bryan
was disappointed when the hour came to
speak and such a small crowd was on
hand. IN previous meetings here he had
been accorded a larger hearing. but the
town people are too busy now to come
out to an afternoon meeting and the
farmers we're not sufficiently interested to
leave the helds.
AUBURN, Neb. Oct. e.-(special Tele-
gram. AFTER being thoroughly advertised
for two weeks, about 1000 people. more
than half OF whom were women and chill
dren. gathered at the court house yard to
listen to w. J. Bryan give a remedy for all
the ills that humanity is heir to. Bryan
arrived at 4 p. m from Tecumseh. He was
met at the depot by a few of the faithful
democrats and escorted to the court house.
where a platform had been erected for the
speaking. II. II. Hanks, the fusion nominee
for congress. was hrst introduced and spoke
for a few minutes Bryan was then intro
duced and spoke for more than an hour.
He confined his remarks principally to the
Fowler bill and the trust question. He
dwelt at length upon the coal trust and
offered as a remedy the Kansas City plat
form, which provided for a board OF arbi-
traitors, to settle such difficulties. There
was a marked lack OF enthusiasm and the
applause was very tame and infrequent.
The lack OF interest in the Bryan meeting
was shown by the fact that many fusion
farmers who we're in town did not attend
the meeting at all, saying that they were
busy at home and had not time to listen to
Mr.. Bryan. Some OF the republicans took
occasion to put up posters containing some
of Bryan's prophesies. This was resented
by the democrats, who quickly tore them
down. The demopops gained nothing by
bringing Bryan to Auburn, as this meeting,
compared with his former meetings here,
was almost a failure.
