BRYAN TALKS OF CHANCES OF
PARKER AND HILL.
MUST STAND BY PLATFORM
Grover Says He Is Out Of Politics But
Trusts and Tariff Reform Are
Still the Issues.

Toledo, Ohio, March 10.-W. J. Bry-
an, who was in the city this morning,
told of his recent visit to New York
and added that the people in that city
knew less about politics than they
dc in the west.
''They asked me about Judge Park
en-" he said, land | told them l could
say nothing until | knew his attitude
or national questions. They answer
ed that he was a judge and that it
would not be proper for him to discuss
present topics"
what do you think Hill intends
to do?"
Hill or Parker.
well, | think Mr.. Hill is tossing
a penny to see whether he or Judge
Parker will run. The trouble of the
plan is that Hill has an old penny
that he has tossed SO often that he
dose not know which side is head
and which is tail"
"yVhat have you to say regarding
the record of congress-"
what congress has done is easily
a~secrtained. Find out how much
there was in the treasury before the
session began and find out how much
there is now. The wonder is that
they did not take it all"
Mr.. Bryan declined to discuss the
issues and candidates in the next cam
paign, but when asked to make a
statement, said:
Political Success.
Political success depends on two
things-opportunity and taking adj
vantage of it. A political party must
advocate the policies it believes best
for the people and then trust to events
to yindicate the wisdom of its course
viii Put Democracy in Power.
Il believe the democratic party has
taken the peoples side of the public
questions discussed in 1895 and 1906
and l believe that if it maintains its
anu dllOWS uo uOuDt W dlloS
as to its fidelity to the peoples cause,
it will be only a question of time and
not a long time either, before enough
republicans will be disguised with the
policy of the republican party 70 again
put the democratic party in power.
Must Be No Compromise.
Such a victory. when won, will
bring relief to the people from all the
policies of the republican party. We
cannot win a victory by compromise
and if we should win a victory by
such means it would be as disastrous
to the party as Cleveland's victory
in 1892 proved to be-"
Asked as to his opinion on the Wa
bash case, Mr.. Bryan said:
The Wabash Controversy.
tThe merits Of the controversy be-
tween the company and it's employees
are oyershadowed by the Il of
the process known as government by
Injunction. The democrats have long
been calling attention to the DANCE:
that turks in the abuse of the judicial
power, but it seems to take a severe
lesson to make the people acquainted
with a bad policy"

DEALERS AMONG BIDDERS
Powers Rug Prices Catch Local
Experts. s....

Interest in the oriental rug sale at
Powers, yesterday, was so great that
the firm has decided to accede to
many requests that have come and
continue the sale during tomorrow.
If proof were needed to convince
the public Of the genuineness of the
prices it was supplied the last two days
of the sale, when one of the biggest
dealers in the northwest bought heavi-
ly to sell again locally.
els Mr.. good for that amount!
was asked at the close Of Thursday 8
sales.
"Certainly," was the reply, good
for any amount he chooses to put him
self down for. Why?"
Here are eight handsome rugs he
has bought
well, send him all he wants to buy
He's the shrewdest dealer in this part
Of the country, and one Of the heaviest
and best"
There is but one opinion expressed
at these sales, and that Is that no such
low prices for rugs Of equal value have
ever been seen in Minneapolis or St
Paul, at either private sales or auc-
tons,

'REXALL" MEMBERS MEET
Remarkable Gathering of Stockhold-
ers of the United Drug Co: In
Boston, 49,.

Thomas Voegeli, the we1l-known
druggist, has returned from Boston,
where he has been attending the first
annual meeting Of the United Drug
company.
The gathering was remarkable in
many ways.
The company is cooperative or
ganization, composed of the leading
druggists in each important town or
city in the country.
A great laboratory has been erected
in Boston and there a remedy for
each human i'll is manufactured under
the general trade name Of "Rexall." +"
Important new discoveries in medi-
cine are made from time to time, and
after a new preparation is thoroughly
tested and proven it is extensively adj
vertised. Last spring Rexan Dyspep-
sia Tablets were introduced by means
of the now famous captain Rexall'
and her little soldiers. y
This fall a new Rexal remedy,
"Mucu-Tone," a cure for all forms Of
catarrh, will be introduced. Mucu-
Tone was brought to the attention Of
the stockholders at their meeting, and
s65,OOO worth Of the remedy was or
dered in one afternoon by the drug
gists present. Other orders were given
| in the following days, so that the sales
| for the week amounted to nearly
| 100000.
| without question Of doubt this is
the most remarkable incident In the
proprietary remedy history Of the
country. The men who compose the
| United Drug Co. are the acknowledge
, leaders in the retail drug business Of
the country. That they. should pur.
chase this enormous quantity of &
new remedy proves their faith in the
Rexall enterprise and proves, as we'll
their wonderful facilities for handling
large quantities of goods.

BARON HUMBUG COMING
The Roosevelt Club Secures Clever
J. Piece for It's Next
Show. .~....

The glad news was passed around
at the first meeting of the Roosevelt
Marching club last night that the play
committee had transacted the most
serious business of the season by Sc
lect1ng the play to- be staged next
spring. Baron Humbug,' by r.. A.
Barnet, will be the vehicle used by the
young ladies' and gentlemen of the
club to amuse an admiring public
next spring. 49, :z..~ g..s = - .s--, -
The quality Of the piece is guaran
teed by it's authorship, as Mr.. Barnet
has gained an enviable reputation
thru the other things he has written
for the Roosevelt club, the Bankers
association and the Cadets club of
Boston. In the present instance Mr..
Barnet gave the Roosevelt club the
right to use it one day, and received
flattering offer for it from profess
sional producer the next.
Baron Humbug" has a cast OF
eighty, including a large number OF
chorus girls" such as have made
a strenuous hit in seasons gone by
The scene Of the play, or comic
opera, is in Hungary and excellent
opportunity is therefore given for the
Introduction of characteristic Hun
garian music and costumes. 81. y
One date, March 10, has already
been booked in Duluth, and it is prob
able that Winona, st. Cloud, Mankatc
or St. Paul will also be visited before
the friends at home have an oppor'
tunity to see the production.

CITY NEWS.
THE RURAL BUBBLES
Automobiles Are Becoming Common

We're More than One Hun
dred.

The tax rolls show that there are
about 100 automobiles owned in Min
nesota, outside the three cities Of Min
neapolis, st. Paul and Duluth.
Exact figures cannot be obtained.
The schedule used by nearly all as
SCISSORS last spring contained a coll
umn for automobiles and other
power vehicles" In a good many To-
calities motor cycles or other We
hicles seem to have been included in
the list, judging by the values placed
on this class. For instance, Winona
county returned la, valued at $3,151,
an average Of $21.S7. The probable
tiles are that this number includes six
to a. dozen autos. Clearwater coun-
ty returns seven, with total valua-
ton Of SAT-. Polk county reports 25,
and the total value is 1868. Rice
county's 20 are valued at $3.50. Just
how many Of these are autos and how
many motor cycles or bicycles, the
records do not show. ..s..

tos at something like a fair valuation,

MILL FEEDING TO CEASE
Another Sign that Employing MIliers Con-

SiQSF SCrIke Oed0,
Managers Of the flour mills will give
further evidence of their faith in the
strength Of their position tonight when
they will abandon their system Of feeding
their new: employees and giving them
sleeping accommo dations in the mills and
will allow the men to shift for them
selves. ~ So 80,
When the men come; out tonight there
will be great many surprises in store
for those strikers who happen to be on
hand, and there may be some heated argu-
ments. Since the strike began, the ranks
Of the strikers have been growing smaller
but they have steadily refused to believe
that the missing men have gone back into
the mills. : fss,
Many Of these men will come out of the
mills tonight for the first time since they
went back, and it is possible that the few
remaining strikers will endeayor to keep
some Of them out. -
The mills are shipping out 300 cars Of
-four a day, which is almost the average

A STRANGER TO PETER

A Park Avenue Pastor Finds Children
Ignorant of important Bible Facts.
Public school teaching of the Bible was
discussed last night at the Park Avenue
Congregational church prayer meeting.
Rev George S. Rollins, the pastor, stated
that out of 200 children asked three ques-
lions, two of which were: "WhO was
Peter?' and "Why did he repent?" only
four gave correct answers.
The pastor believed that much Of the
ignorance of the Bible lay in family train
ing. The Bible should be read more in
the homes, and children should be made
to go to Sunday school.

This gives a total Of 104 machines.
Two are returned from Hennep1n
county outside Minneapolis, and sew
eral Of the counties that return low
valuation on autos have doubtless as
sessed one or more machines along
with the motor cycles or whatever
else happened to go in that column.
It is safe to say that 100 autos We're
found for taxation outside the twin
cities. This was under date OF May
!. and sales since then have probably
doubled the number found by the as

Max Davis, proprietor of a grocery store
at Sixth avenue N and Washington, was
mistaken for a burglar in his own store
about - o'clock last night by Sergeant
Martin Ginsberg Of the North Side police
and it was only after two shots had been
fired by the officer that explanation fol-
lowed. Davis went to the store to tele-
phone a physician and the officer, seeing
him moving about at that late hour,
thought he was burglar. When Davis
tried to get out of the store, Ginsberg
thought he was trying to escape and fired
two shots to frighten him.
