A WONDERFUL INVENTION.

It is interesting to note that for tunes are frequently made by the in vention of articles of minor impor- tance. Many of the most popular de- vices are those designed to benefit the people and meet popular conditions, and one of the most interesting of these that has ever been invented is the Dr White Electric comb, patented January l, 1899. These wonderful combs positively cure dandruff, hair falling out, sick and nervous head aches, and when used with Dr Whites Electric hair brush are positively guar anteed to make straight hair curl, in 25 days time. Thousands of these electric combs have been sold in vsri- ous cities of the Union, and the de. mand is constantly increasing. OuI agents are rapidly becoming rich sell: ing these combs. They positively sell on sight. Send for sample. Mems size 35c; ladies' 5Oc-(half price while we are introducing them). The D1 White Electric Comb Co.,, Decatur, Ill

BRYAN on the Issue.

William J. Bryan is doing yeoman
service In this campaign. His speech
in the gas belt Of Indiana gives the is-
sue in clear with no uncertain tones.
In his remarks be says:

Parker, in his speech Of acceptance,
has pointed 10 and condemned the &C.
tion Of Governor Peabody In Colorado
in depOrting men without Indictment,

Why does not Theodore Roosevelt
discuss the Colorado situation? Why
doesn't he denounce these methods
Of governing laboring men with.

that power of voting, and 1t Is a pow
er that gives me protection to a GER
tain extent, even though we had no
congressman, he has no senator, he
has no voice In the election Of the
president, and no matter what Is done
he has no redress, And yet there are
laboring men In this state who four
years ago voted for Imperialism and
voted to fasten upon 100000 people,
helpless Filipinos, the same damnable
doctrine that you now complain OF
when in Colorado 1t is enforced
against laboring men. (Applause.)
A blow against constitutional liberty
anywhere is a blow against consti.
tutional liberty everywhere"
His charges against government by
injunction and in favor Of the in
itiative and referendum seemed to
strike the right spot in the labor cen
| ters, and at the end Of the trip the
party leaders are confident that the
result of this days work will be notice
able on election day.
"If Judge Parker wins victory II
will be a victory for my ideals, as well
| Ms his, and If should die on the night
after the election and could feel that
/ ], in a small part, had contributed to
drive out of this country the infamous
doctrine of imperialism, I would feel
that had not lived in vain"
| 81 charge that the Republican party
is raising the army in order that the
! trusts. having robbed this country OF
hundreds of millions of dollars, may
now use the army paid by the people
to force the laboring men down to the
starving point"
Bryan declared that the Republicans
now want the silver Democrats TO helr
them win a victory, but that If the
party platform should be more radical
four years hence they would
again appeal to the Democrats
| NHSS Nlu SlBhI u6S' S'OcN

appeal he made at Portland. II am as
enthusiastic for this ticket as If hat
written every line in the platform ant

tinued amid gret applause.
