Bryan a Money Maker.

A special to the Philadelphia
Record from Lincoln, Neb., says;
William Jennings Bryan's beau.
tiful home is located about three
miles from this city. His pros
porous financial condition will in.
terest his friends throughout the
country and doubtless excite the
envy of his political opponents
everywhere.
When Mr.. Bryan entered the
campaign of 1896 one of his boasts
was that he was a poor man; that
he was without a home, without
shelter, and had to work upon a
weekly salary as newspaper
writer to sustain himself and
wife. 1t is stated now on un.
questionable authority that he
has something like $16S,OOO in
the bank at Lincoln, which he
made from his campaign speech
es. His home here cost $4,000.
Mr.. Bryan talked very freely to
a friend who visited him recently
about his financial condition, and
seems to be happy over his great
prosperity, From his converse.
tion it was inferred that his week
ly income is something like $500.

the Senate saloon, assaulted ex- Prose
cutting Attorney w. G. Conley, OF
Parsons, Tucker county, on the street
opposite Grlffith's place OF business,
and gave him a severe thrashing.
Conley's face was bruised in the ARRAY,
it being necessary to have the atfen-
tion of a doctor to stop the flow of
blood from his many wounds.
About eight years ago Conlcy repre-
sented Mrs. Griffith in suit for di-
vorce from her husband, and at that
time there was bad blood between
them, while the case was not success
ful. Griffith claims that Conley was
at the bottom of the proceedings. at
the time of the suit, Grifilth promised
Conley licking II he.ever crossed His
path, and for the first time since. they
met on Pike street.: and Griffith wad-
ed in and kept his word.
Mr.. Griffith was seen by your cores
pendent last evening, and when ques-
TONED Ia the matter stated that ut
noon yesterday note had been deliv-
cred to his home, supposed to be from
Con.ey, requesting Mrs. Griffith to
meet him at the Traders Hotel in the
evening, and that after Mrs. Grifilth
had read the note she gave it to her
husband, who proceeded to watch for
Conley. He finally came along the
street, with the above result, Griffit h
was arrested by the police and put up
for his appearance, while Conley, after
having bis face repaired left the city

COAL LAND JUMPING.
Big Increases in the Value Of Coal
Lands in Southern Fayette.

The FayeJte Coke Company, oper-
ating 200 coke ovens at New Salem,
last week purchased ITO acres of coal
adjoining its present tract from John
Sapper. The consideration was $137,
600. Speaking of the great increase
in coal values in Southern Fayette
county, T.. G. Jeffries of South Union
township, says In the UniontowL
STANDARD"
81 well remember Leonard Sapper,
Johns father, and his early labors as
a tanner He came from Germany
about 1910 and settled at the Thomas
Swan place 10 South Union, now
owned by J. V. Tompson, at the
Gross Roads. He was tanner by
trade, and an. industrious workman.
He had practically nothing when he
cam here, but he was frugal and
economical and presently he began to
invest in real estate. He FIRST bought
the Ullery Newcomer farm, where his
S IN Leonard now lives. Then he
bought part of the Jacob Proud
stone tract. where his son-in-law,
James Fouch, now resides. Later be
added the Warrick Miller farm in
Menallen 30 his possessions, paying
$l10, 900 for it. When asked how he
wanted to make the payments he sur
prissd Miller by saying his would pay
all cash. s
This farm at his death he willed to
his son John, who now sells it for
sl37, 900. The elder Sapper never
sold any of his farms, but owned them
all at the time OF his death. His 9TH
er farms were the John A. Sangs-
ton farm, near Walnut Hill, and the
Keys farm. near Searights.
He married Barbara Using.
The Connelsville "Courier" adds:
Another instance of the big Jump-in
the price of coal is furnished from
Jefferson township. Less than three
years ago some OF the farmers 10 that
township sold their coal for 800 an
acre. James Clark refused to take
that price for his 200 acres. Recent
ly some Pittsburg parties Offered him
$500 an acre for it. He asked them
81 900. but they refused to give it.
Later they came back and offered him
81 900, but 10 the meantime he had
raised to 81, 250, which they refused
to pay. Since that he has received
an offer by Fayette county coal COM
pany of 81, 100 per acre, but his coal is
still unsold.

WINDOW COMBINE FACES
SHORTAGE OF GAS IN WEST


Plants Will Probably Haye TO be Con-
centrated in Pittsburg District-The
Fuel is Fast Falling-Skilled Work.
men Also scarce.
Shortage of gas in the Indiana
gas belt will probably force the
American Window Glass company
to concentrate It's plants in the Pitts
burg and Western Pennsylvania
districts, where an abundance OF
cheap fuel is to be had. The clos
ing Of the Muncie plant of the com
binc is stated to be merely a begin
ming. The urgent need for more
men in the various plants near here
is also forcing the concentration OF
men in plants economically operat-
ed. The closing of the Muncie plant
will cause the transfer of ut least
400 men
The window combine has been ex-
periencing trouble with its natural
gas supply in the Indiana belt for
some time and not long ago it was
compelled to eliminate the consump'
ton OF gas furnished to outside
manufacturing concerns. Since
then the supply has grown no better
and the closing of the Muncie plant
is regarded as the first step in the
direction of again returning to the
Pittsburg district, from which the
center of the window trade was vir-
tually removed some years ago when
beuntiful supplies of natural fuel
were found in the West.
The combine is just as short o.
men as it is of fuel, and the desire
is to gather the men together st
that certain plants may be operated
throughout inutead of in part, as
now necessary. The step is o"e II
the line Of economy as well as effici

also been experienced In keeping the

This morning the case OF A. b

damages. He claims that he contract.
ed to buy the Grafton Sentinel from

he went to make the first payment
Mr. Holt declined to accept the money
or deliver the paper. There was, the
plaintiff says, a stipulation in the con-
tract that If the agreements terms
were not complied with, the party
violating them was to pay to the Other
party the sum of $780, The defend
ant claims that Boughner first broke
the contract.
The attorneys in the case are, for
the plaintiff, Messrs. K. f. Morgan
and B. L. Butcher; for the defendant,
Mr.. Charles Guard, Of Grafton.
Mr.. Boughner is newspaper man
and Is at present staff correspondent
of the New York Journal and Ameri-
can.
The case was sent here from Graf
ton because the judge of that Circuit
