Sympathy goes out readily enough
to persons suffering the loss Of money
through no fault Of their own. 1t can
be offered but grudinglY. if at all, to
those whose own folly and greed rem
der them easy victims Of the get-rich-
quick operators. So well and thor
oughly, says the New York World,
have these swindling concerns been
exposed that one would say the de-
mand for new victims could no longer
be met by any supply. Yet the latest
enterprise of the sharpers seems to
have found quite as many and as
"easy marks" as the very first.

Burglars pried open the shutters of
window in j. M. Hemingers house
while be and his wife were down town
Saturday afternoon, broke open all
the drawers that were locked down
stairs; got $40 in cash belonging to
Mrs. Heminger and a gold ring be-
longing to Mr.. Heminger. The burg
lars did not have time togoupstairs be-
fore the family returned, consequently
they did not get some money that
Mrs. Heminger's brother had left in
his room. Mr.. Heminger's house was
broken open show day but the burg
lars were scared away by the return
of Mrs. Heminger's brother, before
they had time to get any thing.

The press of the country is very gen.
orally condemning Mr.. Bryan for his
present course in politics. The East
ern democratic papers particula, ly are
blaming him. His stubborn opposi-
ton to the plans of those who are
seeking to reorganize the party is de-
nounced as unreasonable, illogical and
inexcusable. And yet who, in Mr..
Bryan IS place, would dootherwise than
Mr.. Bryan is doing?
The democratic party failed in the
two campaigns in which the Nebras-
kan was its candidate for the reason
that, as Mr.. Bryan believes, number
of its prominent leaders were lndiffer-
emit or hostile to its interests. He suf-
fered the ignominy of defeat and the
crushing OF his ambitions. Now he
finds these same leaders who were re-
sponsible for his ruin organizing a
movement to repudiate him and his
platform and assume the management
of the party in its next campaign.
What is more natural or reasonable
than that he should rebel against such
programme and exert all his strength
to defeat it?
Suppose that Mr.. Bryan should
quietly submit to the plans of the re-
organizers. Suppose that he should
passively consent to being discredited
and Inundated. Suppose that he
should give his support to those who
overthrow him with their disloyalty
when he was the party's candidate.
What would be thought Of him? He
would be despised as a weak and spine
less man. Even those to whom he
gave way would simply add contempt
to their diSlike.-KanSaS City Jour-
nal.

A bulletin on the census of 1906
shows that the population of the
United States increased by greater
percentage than that of any otb.,s
country except Argentina between
the years 1890 and 1900. The rate of
growth was double the average rae
of Europe, and nearly double that of
Canada. 1t exceeded that of Aus
tralia by one-tenth and that Of Mex
leo by one-Sixth.

western congressman tells the

A western congressman tells the
president that the currency issue in
the west is of no great importance.
And he tells the truth. The great
need Of an expanding currency is felt
far more in the ecst thar in the west.
Where speculation takes the place Of
traffic ia material products the need
of more money is more seriously felt
than in localities where the business
done is with products Of soil and la
Dor. The attempt to adjust the cur
rency to the demands of Wall street
may rot the wisest policy Of govern
ment. The needs of Wall street are
like the needs Of the rest of the coun-
try, a currency that can be enlarged
and contracted to meet the demands
OF trade, but its wants are far differ-
ent. II wants currency that 1t can
expand or contract to meet the spec
ulative methods Of the street. Elk

The Union Service.

The Union meeting at the German
Evangelical church last evening was a
most enjoyable occasion. Every seat
in the building was filled, the gallery
also being occupied.
The singing was congregational, led
by Mr.. w. H. Matthews, assisted by
quartette composed of Earl North,
Walter Dickinson, Gail North and
Hazel Neff. Miss Mamie Hoham pre-
sided at the organ. The quartette
rendered two beautiful selections.
Rev. Weiss made very timely and
appropriate address. Taking as his
subject, "How Much?" He said that
love could not 0e measured. That
ones love for another was proportion
ate and what they were willing to do
for them. He declared that the prob
lem of the church'S welfare and the
worlds redemption could be solved
only ON the basis of love. That if
Christians loved the church and the
world sufficiently they would serve the
church SO as to save the world. He
surprised the congregation by the
statement that the financial problems
of the city could be solved without
suppers and socials if each of the cit
IzenS over ten years of age loved the
church at the rate of penny day.
The union service next Sunday will
be held in the Methodist church.

William Jennings Bryan's recent
utterances snow that he is opposed to
the nomination of democratic candi-
drte for president In 1904. He is in
favor OF going back to the method
intended by the trainers of the con-
stitution and having democrats choose
electors who viii oe at liberty to vote
for whom they please when the cleo
toral college meets. This, is no
doubt, the most sensible political
idea that Mr.. Bryan has entertained
for a long time.

The records OF the past tell us that
more than a thousand years ago, the
famous race horse, Flying Childers,
ran a mile in a minute. Horsemen
tell US now that this is myth, and
that it IS utterly impossible for a
horse to run a mile in minute. A
thousand years ago horsemen said it
was utterly impossible for horse to
trot a mile in two minutes and it is
very probable that thousand years
hence people will regard the two min
ute records of horses Of the twentieth
century as fables. There is pretty
good evidence that Flying Childers did
run mile in minute and when men
again learn to train horses to run as
they have trained them to trot, some
other morse may run mile in q min

Dear Sir: A good many people will
see your house in the course of the
next ten years. We want it to show
what Devoe Ready Paint will do. We
should like you to paint it, and then
not paint it again for ten years-un-
less it needs repainting.
We'd like such sample as that ia
every town in the country-with a
notice about it in the town paper:
"Mr. Fishers house was painted ten
year S ago with Devoe Ready Paint,
and has never been reprinted. The
color is not SO bright as it was; but
the paint is as perfect coat as ever,
to keep out water
A good lead and oil job is expected
to last three years; it generally does
not. Deyoe Ready Paint lasts twice
as long, If not
eff you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting it
on, or hereafter in the wear, tell your
dealer about it. "
1--WE authorize him to do what is
right at our expense. "
We want your house as a sample,

Theatre goers of this vicinity have
a glorious treat in store in the pre-
sentation Of Klaw s. Changers world
famous dramatization of General Lew
Wallace's "Ben Hur" at the Auditor
ium Theatre, South Bend, Indiana,
September It'll to 18th. with matinees
on Wednesday and Saturday.
Unlike SO many plays taken from
novels, "Ben Hur" has been deity
handled. 1t brings out the bone and
sinew OF that great story, and holds
the interest from the first to the last
curtain, as If one were enthralled.
The demands of dramatic sequence are
strictly adhered to at all times, while
the work of setting the story before
the public gaze is SO admirably done
that Ben Hur, aside from it's natural
beauties, should live as an example Of
what vast possibilities the stage holds
out when the right conjunction of
author, dramatist. producer and stage
director is reached.
The story OF 'sBen Hur'' is familiar
to everybody. In the play however,
the main incidents Of General Wal
lace's great novel are graphically and
faithfully put forth. blending at times
these scenes Of marvellous beauty or
deep heart interests and making them
into an entirety which is beyond de-
scription.
