BRYAN IS MUCH BETTER.
Not UnfavorabIy Affected by His Sat
urday Night Exploit.

St Louis, July 11.-Mr. Bryan left
the Jefferson hotel early Sunday and
went to the residence of his cousin,
lcal condition was much improved
over Saturday and he expects to leave
for his home in Lincoln tonight.
When Mr.. Bryan left his bed to go
to the convention hall his temperature
was about 100. and he complained of
much soreness of the lungs. He was
examined after the close of the con-
Vention by DR.. Osborne, who decided
there was nothing alarming in Mr.
Bryan's condition, and that quiet and
rest would quickly restore him to his
usual good health.
His appearance at the convention
hall was in opposition to the COM
mand of his physician and contrary
to the wishes of his friends. He left
his bed at time when his attendants
were absent from the room, and in
doing so created no little alarm for
his Sa fety.

INJURY TO THE WHEAT.
Estimate From Dickinson County
Says State Loss of 10 Per Cent.

Abilene, July 1.-THE Reflector says:
The question of the injury to the Kan
sas wheat is one that attracts much
attention from businessmen and farm
ers. kilograms from Kansas City. Chi
cago and New York are coming in thick
asking for estimates.
Dickinson county wheat is badly in
jured. No one disputes that. How
badly cannot be told until thresning
commences. In the north part of the
county is considerable soft wheat and
that is very ripe and badly down.
E. Kready says: 'tSome will lose 30
per cent, some so per cent and some
practically all of it,
The hard wheat, if good weather con-
tinues and allows harvesting, will not
be nearly so much. loss but it will be
damaged thirty per cent.
The bottomland wheat is damaged
anywhere from go per cent to entire loss
and most of it will not pay for cutting
and harvesting.
w. B. Giles telegraphed a Kansas
City paper in response to d request
for his views. 1.-THE reduction of
yield of the county will be 40 per cent;
20 per cent of the bottom land wheat
is gone. Harvest can be resumed Sun
day on upIandS if weather is fair
Clarence Taylor, who was in from
Pearl, says that if the farmers in his
section get 80 per cent of the wheat
they will do well. He thinks 1T Will
be impossible to get into fields for sew
eral days.
The Hoffman mills at Enterprise
estimate that the Dickinson farmers
will lose so to so per cent in the value
of their wheat because of rain The
measured bushels and acreage cut will
be more than SO per cent of what was
expected but the grade will be lower
ed and the weight cut 5 to pounds a
bushel. Not 10 per cent of the bot
tom land wheat will be marketable
they say.
The southern Kansas wheat is IS
per cent. cut; western Kansas is half
cut and cutting is in full blast Here
about 10 per cent. is cut. Most of
the flooded area is not wheat country
and probably 80 per cent. of the
states acreage will be gathered, but
millers and dealers estimate the loss
in quality and value together with the
grain destroyed at IS to 20 per cent.

myer of Kansas. in nominating ex-

LIBERATl IS SUED.
VinewodO Park Management Bring
Recreant Band Leader to Time.

A Kansas City paper says: Sig A.
Liberati leader of the Liberati Band
and Concert company, which closed an
engagement at Electric park last night,
was yesterday sued in the circuit court
by E. w. Wilson, doing business as the
Vinewood Park company in Topeka,
Kan, on an alleged breach of contract.
The plaintiff asks for $4,000 damages.
He claims that the bandmaster signed
a contract to play a series of concerts
at Vinewood park, beginning July 3,
but on the following day, and after the
first concert, went to Electric park,
Kansas City. canceling his Topeka con-
tract without notice.
When Liberati arrived in Kansas
City last Monday morning from his abb
ruptly closed Topeka engagement he
was highly indignant at the treatment
he said he had received there, stating
that the grounds were in such muddy
condition that he had felt called upon
to make a speech advising those of the
audience who had paid admission to go
to the gate and demand a return of
their admission fee"
L. 5. Ferry, of Topeka, went to Kan
sas City to institute the suit

TRAINS ARE RUNNING.
All Lines Reopened Except Union Pa
cific to Kansas City.

Railroad traffic, which was complete
1y demoralized in Kansas on account
of the recent high waters. has been re-
sumed. The traffic has gradually ad-
justed itself and today the Santa Fe is
running all trains, botn passenger and
freight on schedule time OF nearly on
schedule time, on the main lines and
on all of the branches which were out
of business last week.
The Santa F'e main line between Kan
sas City and Topeka was opened Sun
day and both the Rock Island and the
Union Pacific railways are using the
Santa F'e between Kansas City and To-
peka. West of Topeka each line is using
it's own tracks.
The fast mail on the Santa Fe was
annulled this morning for the reason
that the tracks are so soft that it was
deemed unsafe to run a train over
them at the rate of speed attained by
the fast mail.
The Mcpherson branch, Strong City
branch and the Ell Dorado branch were
opened up Saturday.
The lines in and out of Wichita are
all right and train service has been re-
sumed. The only trouble now on the
Santa F'e is between Winfield and We'll
lington and between lola and Chanute.
However, trains are passing between
these points and the track will be thor
oughIy repaired soon.
The Union Pacific main line and all
branches west of Topeka are open and
traffic has been resumed today. The
Salina plug is running only between
Topeka and Kansas City. today but the
through trains are getting into Kansas
City from Topeka over the Santa F'e.
The Union Pacific is still in trouble
at Lawrence. The tracks will proba bly,
be repaired by Tuesday and train ser
vice over that line will probably be re-
sumed tomorrow.
The Rock Island also reports all the
lines west of Topeka open. The main
line between Topeka and Denver, To-
peka and Ell Paso, and between To-
peka and Oklahoma, together with all
the branch lines, have the regular
train service again. All the main line
trains are using the Santa F'e line
between Topeka and Kansas City,
however The Rock Island will use
the Santa Fe to Kansas City until
the Union Pacific gets the Kansas
City line repaired.

PARKER'S MESSAGE.
Western Union Declares 1t Was De-
Iivered on Time.

New York, July 11.-General Super
intendent Brooks of the Western
Union Telegraph company, said today
that the message sent by Judge Par
ker to Mr.. Sheehan at st. Louis. rela-
tive to the platform adopted by the
Democratic national committee. was
not delayed by the Western Union
Telegraph company in delivery. The
message, Mr.. Brooks says, was trans
mitted from Esopus immediately and
delivered promptly to the address
given and a copy handed to Mr.. Shee-
han personally as soon as he could be
found, which was 2:30 p. m. The As
sociated Press can state, however,
that the story of verification of the
dispatch is correct and that the re-
quest for the same came from st.
Louis, but from whom is not known.

Parker Telegram Received Friday.
But Was Not Given Out.

ST. Louis. July I.-There was talk Fri
day night in the inner Parker circle that
telegram had been received from Par
ker saying he would favor the gold
standard. 1t was said by some that he
would include it in his letter of accept
ance.
This explanation is now followed by the
explanation that the Parker telegram
came in reply to a message to him cover
ing the platform. That Parker expected
it to be given out at once, but Sheehan
concluded it the better plan to hold It
up until Parker was nominated and then
apprise the convention of it's contents.
He was afraid to give it out before the
nomination, fearing it would make trou-
nominate Parker, tell the convention Ia
ter when it seemed to come logically, af-
ter Parker had read the platform in the
papers Then protect the nomination in
the convention. This would be an en-
phatic break in the much-joked about
i'siIence of Parker and give him a send
off as a courageous candidate.
