wi. New Haven, Coon, Register
,.,ensly contained a descriptive sketch
william ]. BRYAN at home in LIN
Neb. Mr.. Bryan has lately
uored into beautiful new house. OF
which the Register says;
nur BRYAN saws it cost him little
,ore than $4,000, aud it is cheap at
Lat f. is a well,proportioned build
WV D made of pressed brick and stone
.. "a ftted with handcarved oak finish
pgs throughout
n aIt faces directly west and contains
,uortv.one rooms, including parlors,
rocpntion hall and library down
..oirs and bedrooms, a nursery,
sobooroom and gymnasium upstairs.
uTbe kitchen is in connected
hri,dino, Entrance is had by way of
GREAT, half-round veranda, leading
irto a beautifully carved and finished
hail. From the porch one can see for
mauy miles in any direction.
aFairyiew is the name by which the
BRYAN home will be known. The
name is appropriate.
"Although three miles from the
oitv the house is fitted with every
MODERN convenience. It's owner does
mot eschew luxury in the interior ap-
nointment, and costly plumbing, cleo
trio lights and artistic decorations,
with city water, make it thoroughly
modern home. Cement walks and
driveways give easy access to the va
rious buildings, and seemingly no
money has been spared to make life
within its walls worth living.
"Colonel Bryan is a rich man and
rapidly getting richer. He has been
accused of acquisitiveness, but many
Of his critics have unjustly diagnosed
bis case. Mr.. Bryan likes money and
he has keen appreciation of what it
will afford it's posse ssor. He has spent
less than his incom every year of his
active life, and it is now getting so
large as to be almost unwieldY-for
him. :
His newspaper is firmly establish
ed. Although he has disdained train
ed business assistance he has made it a
big money maker. Thirty thousand
dollars year is u conservative estl-
mate of his share of profit from it. He
began with 60 Thousand circulation,
and now he has twice that number.
He limits his advertising space and
rigidy refuses to give trust-made
goods place in his advertising col
umns.
His actual wealth, aside from his
newspaper which is paying good in
terest upon third of a million, is a
little less than $4,000. His yearly
income is not much below $4,000. He
lives modestly and simply, but we'll.
"a private tutor comes each morn
ing for his two Younger children, but
Ills daughter, Ruth, is a daily attend
ant at the state university, where she
IS sophomore. He has several fine
carriages, but much prefers to use the
suburban street car that passes within
a short distance of his home each
hour.
Much of his writing is done in his
Aome' A part of it is dashed off while
I'd his lecturing or campaigning tours.
He is little seen about the office of
Ills paper. This occupies the lower
MOOR OF down town block. His broth
er' Charles W. Bryan, is the business
manager, and one trained newspaper
man is the only editorial assistant he
has.
he still rigidly adheres to his de-
summation to print his opinions upon
current political topics in his paper
