HAGER REFUTES
Charge That Mr.. Bryan Was
Barred From Kentucky.
Correspondence Published - Mr.
Bryan Requested That Date
be Cancelled.

In response to the charge that
William Jennings Bryan had been
barred from Kentucky by the Dem
ocratic State Campaign Committee,
Judge S. w. Hager, chairman of the
committee, has made public the cor
respondence between himself and
Mr.. Bryan. The facts of the case
are that the Kentucky Democrats
did all in their power to induce Mr..
Bryan to speak here, and that he
was only released from his promise
after it was shown that the time he
could give to Kentucky was not
suitable, and at the urgent request
of the Ohio Democrats, who wanted
Bryan to remain another day in
their State. The failure to ar
range for Mr.. Bryan's appearance
at Louisville and at Covington was
big disappointment to Judge Ha-
ger and all the Democrats in charge
of the campaign.
The invitation to Mr.. Bryan to
speak in Kentucky came voluntari-
ly from Judge Hager and his asso-
ciates on the committee, and it was
only after repeated arging that he
agreed to come at all. In reply to
the letter of invitation Mr.. Bryan
wrote:
Sept. 10, 1908 Mr.. S. w. Hager,
Louisville, Ky. My Dear Sir: Your
favor at hand. l am afraid that 1t
will be impossible for me to come to
Louisville this fall, and yet l feel
so interested in the success of Gov.
Beckham and the entire State tick
ct that l shall come if fud it pos
sible to do so. Will correspond
with you when l find that can
speak definitely.
Very truly yours,
w. J. BRYAN.
Late on the night of Oct. IS, 1908,
Judge Hager heard again from Mr..
Bryan in the following telegram:
Lincoln, Neb. Oct. Is, 1905
Chairman Democratic State Com
mittee, Louisville, Ky. Can speak
at Louisville next Monday at noon,
Covington at g o'clock Must leave
Cincinnati for the East at 8 O'Clock
Monday evening. Answer imme-
diately whether satisfactory. You
can substitute other places, provid-
ing Leaving time is HOt changed.

VALUABLE D0G-cOIEa....:c..
Many Set with Costly Gems--one
Made Of Gold Nuggets.

81 can assure YOU that you have
not been inisinformed as to the
gold and preeiou gems being used
to decorate dogs collars" said
one Of the best known dealers in
such articles in London; 4but the
craze is far more prevalent in
France, Russia and america than
it is here according to the Lon
don Tit-Bits.
Not many weeks ago | supplied
to the special order Of an Ameri-
can lady dog collar that cost 80
guineas. 1t was a chain collar Of
silver and gold links alternately,
and with a gold bell to hang in
front. French ladies are very
fond of watch dog collars, a small
gold watch being let into the front
of the collar, and | have made sew
eral of these. But in scores Of
cases supply beautifully made
collars with plates Of solid
gold, and often enough with gold
bosses as well. Nearly all the
collars of this class are intended
for the carriage dogs and drawing
room pOOdles alone, and in most
cases the dogs do not belong to
men, though the latter order and
pay for the collars as presents.
"a fashion has lately had great
vogue in France of putting tiny
bracelets round the fOrelegs of
poOdles, and l have seen even dia-
mOnds let into these circlets. But
we only make these things by spe-
cial order. At the same time, in
my own stock, l have lots of dog
collars ranging in price from three
to twenty pounds. The most re
.markable collar | have ever made
was to the order of a gentleman
from South Africa. 1t consisted
of nuggets of gold and an uncut
diamond, which he supplied, and
it was given to a well-known lady
as a present"

University at Indianapolis, will address the
conference Friday evening. on the subject
of federation with the United Brethren
and Congregationalist churches The three
churches will probably unite in the near
future as nearly every member of each is
in favor of the amalgamation. The reason
that action is slow is that the officers
of each church wish TO be cautious and TO
commit no errors in the federation. The
present plans are to have representative
meeting of the three churches, one repre-
sentative being sent for each 5000 men,
bers of the three churches. These repre-
sentatives will form a general council of
the united churches. Their action will not
be binding, but the different. congregations
will then adopt the recommendations if ac-
ceptable When the three churches are
united in America they will have total
membership of 100000.
