BRYAN's NEW HOME.
Tho Almost Bankrupt Politically, He
Has Accumulated 100000 Since He
Became National Figure-Luxuri-
Gus Country Seat in the Antelope

Minneapolis Journal.l
From a financial standpoint, al least,
the two defeats for the presidency sus-
tanned by William j. Bryan have re-
bounded very much to his credit. His
strenuous methods of campaigning and
his frequent lecture trips between
times have advertised him, perhaps, as
We'll as any other American. This he
turned to his advantage when he
founded his paper. the Commoner, two
years ago. The subscriptions rolled in
at a record breaking pace and they
have kept up ever since All this has
made money for Bryan, so much OF it,
in fact. that the former presidential
candidate is counted one of Lincoln's
wealthiest citizens.
a conservative estimate of the value
of Bryan's possessions puts the figure
at 100000, while there are many,
among them intimate friends, who as
sert that half million would come
nearer the truth. The greater portion
of this estimate is charged up to the
Commoner, the annual earnings from
which would pay satisfactory divi-
dend on three-fourths of half mill

Skin, Scalp and Blood
Humours
Speedily Cured by cutleura,
Soap, Ointment and Pills
When the Best Physicians and
All Else Fail.

The agonizing itching and burning
of the skin, as in eczema; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled
head; the facial disfigurements, as in
pimples and ringworm; the awful suf-
fering of infants, and anxiety Of worn
out parents, as in milk crust, letter and
salt rheum,-all demand a remedy Of
almost superhuman virtues to success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
is not justified by the strongest evil
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford Immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy aud permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy have made them the standard
skin cures, blood purifiers aud humour
remedies of the civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales, and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint-
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, take the Cuticura Resolvent
Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood.
This complete treatment, costing but
one dollar, affords instant relief, per-

incentive to Long Life.


We regret to record the death OF the
Hon. Charles Kreck OF Attention, Pa
at the age SO. SiNty-one years ago
Mr.. kreck applied for membership in
an Odd Fellows lodge and was reject
ed on account of his supposed bad
health. Afterwards he was accepted
and he survived all the members but
one. A little dose of bad health in
early life Is often a help to a long life.
Rejected men live long sometimes. as
any life insurance doctor will tell you.
Indeed, the life insurance companies
often do good to men whom they are
compelled to reject. A man so rejected
often changes his habits and takes
better care of himself, and perhaps be-
comes q good risk. Besides. his OBJ
stinacy is awakened and he tries to
live to Spite" the company, which.
after all. WAS right.

The possession of plenty induced
Bryan to proceed to the construction of
a luxurious country home on his farm

calls it "Fairview." He first built the

Ruins in New Mexico,
New York Tribune


+ "There is more of historic interest in
the Territory Of New Mexico than in
any other part of the United States.
declared Ex-Governor L. Bradford
Prince the other day. Mr.. Prince, who
is a native of Flushing, Long Island,
has been visiting his birth place TO
a few days and rummaging among the
heirlooms Of the family in the garnet
of the old homestead. He is president
of the New Mexico Historical Society,
and has the largest collection of Amer
lean stone idols in existence. He said
that the degree of interest taken in the
preservation Of Antiquities and the
means for their preservation was very
much less in the southwest than in the
east. He cited, as an Illustration of the
difficulties encountered In this work, his
experience in trying to save for New
Mexico two very valuable collections
of pottery made from excavations a
few years ago. This particular kind
of pottery was found in a region only
twenty miles square, and was unique.
The owner offered the two collections
for $3.50 each. By dint of the most
earnest efforts Governor Prince, as
president of the New Mexico Historical
Society, was able to raise in year
only enough money to secure one col
lection, the other being captured by
an eastern collector.
Near the regions where this pottery
was excavated is another distinct part
of the territory, embracing the cliff
dwellings. A recent scientific visitor
had estimated that if these dwellings
were ranged side by side they would
make continuous line thirty miles
long. He declared that within an area
of twenty miles square there were

two younger children. William and
Grace, are being instructed by private
tutors at 'Fairview." Some stylish
driving equipages. harness trimmed
with silver and blooded cattle are q
part of Bryan's more recent indulg-
ences. He has abundance of money tc

Nebraska citizen who is deriving more
benefit out of prosperity than is Will

son is a mystery to the associates OF

INCREASE OF CRIME AND OTHER ILLS.

Is the growth of civilization failure
In it's relation to the repression of crime
and ills that humanity suffers 1t would
seem that as we grow more intelligent
and systematic these should be mini
mized, but according to DR.. Arthur
Macdonald, government expert in crimi-
nology connected with the bureau of
education, the growth of luxury has
just laid before congress statement
to the effect that for forty years crime,
suicide, insanity and other forms of ills
have been on the increase relatively to
the increase of population in the United
States, and also in other countries of
the world.
at would SEEM" declares DR.. Mac
donald, that the increase is due more
to the rapid development of the world
in general rather than to any specific
cause. Thus, there mas not only been a
relative increase in social abnormal
education, intelligence, wealth and in
comforts of living for the poor"
Dwelling further on this connection
between increased crime and increased
luxury, DR.. Macdonald says statistics

The Keokuk Gate City is of the opin-
ion that iowa republicans will make no
mistake If they accord Mr.. Barrett a re-
nomination for another term for the
reason that che has discharged the du-
ties of the position with signal distinc-
ton and success and won a high place
for himself in the esteem and confidence
of the people of the state
The New Sharon Star puts 1t in this
way: State Superintendent Barrett
announces that he will be candidate
for another term. He is now serving
his third term, is very competent and
we don't care If he is reelected, but we
are more anxious to see teachers wages
raised"

lican thinks that lin a case where merit
deserves its reward; where the public
service would be benefited; where the

TRYING TO SETTLE U. p. STRIKE.

An effort is being Iisade in New Yorl;
City this week to settle the strike in the
! Omaha shops of the Union Pacific rail-
road that for the past six months has
interfered with traffic on that great ar
terry of commerce. Conciliatory confer
ences are being held for this purpose,
tho they may not result favorably.
The strike took place on June II,
owing to the Introduction of piecework
by President Burt. The effect on the
~roads was very marked in few
months, and delays in freights to the
.aclic coast occurred, sometimes as
ing as from fifteen to twenty-fl five days,
account of locomotives going with
It repairs. Attempts to fill the places
men were cajoled away by the
ans a day or two after they were
ployed.
After the strike had been on for
me time demands for higher wages
,ere made, but at Tuesdays conference
he only demand considered was the
abolition of piecework. The labor COM
mittee took the stand that under a
piecework system the work turned out
In day by man who is exceptionally

q standard practically impossible for
most workers to follow in day is
adopted. the committee held, and there
fore only exceptionally fast workers can
have any guarantee Of good wages. Pay
by the week or the day the committee
considered the fairest.
Nothing was decided on at the con-
ference, which was adjourned to Fri
day (today). when, it is the belief of the
labor men, an amicaple settlement Will
be reached.
An officer of one of the unions in
volved in the trouble said:
1--WE have every hope that the trouble
will be settled. If not, the strike will
be extended to the ether roads in the
system of which the railroad is a part.
! We think that will not be necessary
as the conference was friendly in tone,
and latterly some of the railroad COM
panies, by voluntarily increasing the
wages of the men in the trains have
shown a disposition to be friendly to
the unions
It is to be hoped that spirit of COM
promise will lead to the settlement of
the strike. as neither of the forces has
demonstrated its ability to wholly block
the efforts of the other.
