prevailing, which is OF no material
interest to the great producing ana
consuming population of the land, and
that we intend to either force the
party to stand for true democratic
principles and the rights of the many
as against the privileges of the few,
or break it down and eliminate 1t as
a factor in the affairs of the country;
that our test for loyalty OF professed
adherents of this wing of the party
shall be the public espousal of our de-
Glazed principles and that we propose
doing all we can to commit the party
to such principles at the Forthcoming
national convention, and in the event
of failure, through the preponderance
of plutocratic influence in the conyen-
ton, that we propose to call separate
convention, then and there, and place
in nomination candidates for presi-
dent and vice president, and 60 be-
fore the country as the only truly rep
resentative democratic party Of the
country.
| firmly believe that, while Mr..
Bryan would not commit himself to
such movement before the conven-
tion, for obvious reasons, he would
be with it if the 'reorganizers' should
prevail, and with him would come a
large following that at the very start
wcud insure us the election machinery
of the party in many states. Under
such conditions CT procedure, there is
scarcely doubt that the old pluto
nF hn ri hn
wiped out and the progressive wing
take its place as one of the two domi-
nant parties Of the country, and in
1908, genuine democracy would sweep
the country.
Let distinct and separate organiza-
ton, with the principles enunoiated
as the test for membership, be formed
and the peoples party will become
regnant with power for good at once.
1t appears to me, at this time, as
though the plntocrats, by the use of
money and trickery, will be able to
control the convention and eliminate
"Bryanism." which, to them, Is an
other word for "populism." and that

HOW CLARK BUYS A BOND
Which Guarantees His Family an Es'
tate, If He Dies, and Himself
Home, il He Lives.

Mr.. Clark, aged thirty-five, is man.
Ager of the elevator in the town. Of Sa-
lem The position pays him a good
Salary, enabling him to support his
family and lay aside about $500 per
year. Though he is now living CON-
fortably, he realizes that he must de-
wise some way of providing an income
for his declining years.
His idea is to buy farm During
a period OF meditation as to whether
or not he shall purchase certain quar-
ter section of land which Is for sale al
So, 900, he is interviewed by represen-
tative of the Old Line Bankers Life In
surance company Of Lincoln, Nebraska,
who endeavors to interest him In Life
Insurance.
Hardly does the agent get well start
ed. when he Is interrupted by Mr.. Clark
who tells him of his intention to buy
a farm. He states that he is about to
make a small payment on the purchase
price and will, II the agent can offer
anything better be an interested
listener
"Well," said the agent. suppose you
buy farm worth $4,000 by paying the
small sum of $175.25 annually without
interest, for twenty years, the con-
tract for same containing clause spe-
cifying that, should you die at any
time. the party from whom you buy
the land will cancel all deferred pay
ments, aid give your estate a clea'
title; or If you live to the maturity OF
a. ak niy 6pCn
to the land, but pay you as large per-
centage OF profit as you could reason
ably expect to make from the property
Would you buy farm on those
terms?"
OF course Mr.. Clark was interested
and since the Company secures each
and every contract issued with a de-
posit of approved securities with the
State of Nebraska, he expressed will
ingness to become party to such an
agreement.
"Well," continued the agent, "if yot
will pay annually to the Old Line Bank
ers Life Insurance Company of Ne.
braska the sum of $17525 they will, Il
you die at any time, pay to whom yol
may name the sum Of $4,000. If yol
live twenty years, they will give you
cash settlement consisting OF the guar
anteed reserve and an estimated sur
plus. amounting to $5,49125.l You viii
readily see that you receive $780,
more than you pay in, which is bette
than four per cent compound interest

should you die, you would leave com

CAT FOUND IN A TRUNK.
Baggageman Fed 1t and Shipped 1t
On in a Box, G. 0. d.

Yesterday morning as Rock Island
train No. rolled into the union de-
pot and the baggagemen were unload
ing the trunks, the meow of SEEM
ingly half-starved cat came from the
pile of trunks down on the PLATFORM
says the Kansas City Journal The
baggagemen thought they must have
let one of the trunks down on a cats
tail, from the noise that was made, so
investigated. Every trunk in the pile
was moved and no cat appeared. At
this Juncture several negro porters,
who had been standing around with
open mouths. lost no time in getting
as far away from the noise as possible.
The MEOW, meow kept up, how
ever, until all the baggage in the car
had been unloaded and instead of dy-
ing away grew stronger. The noise
finally became unbearable and another
search was made. This time the cat
was located in a small steamer trunk
in the pile. The trunk was hauled out
and taken into the baggage room and
opened lean, hungry looking cat
crawled out of the trunk and rubbed
against the legs of the baggagemen.
1t looked as though it had had moth
ing to eat for weeks.
The cat was fed and boxed and sent
to the same destination as the trunk
c. o. D. The trunk came from Cen
terville, Ia, and was out to Loveland

men who should be confined in the PEN
itentiary, but on account of their hav-
ing committed their unlawful act
against the military laws they
were sentenced to the guard houses.
Some of these prisoners are very des-
perate men and on some occasions
young recruits are placed on guard to
watch over them, and on many occa-
sions it is found that the prisoners in
fiuence the recruits to permit them to
escape.
If the penitentiary here is selected as
the central prison in which to confine
all these offenders it will only be able
to hold one thousand of the seventeen
hundred prisoners. The remaining
number will most likely be sent to AL
catraz island prison.
If this central prison is established
here it will be a good thing for the
post in many ways. The mere idea OF
having one thousand prisoners here to
work around the post and build up the
roads is very gratifying. These prison
ers will be placed under a military
guard on the same order as the prison
ers confined in the guard house are
guarded. 1t is also the plan of the gov
eminent to use these prisoners in con-
nectiOn with the infantry and cavalry
school. AS a part of their instructions
the student officers will have to have
Notifications constructed on the many
hills around the post and this work will
all be done by prison labor, whereas
this work would all have to be done by
the student officers.

RAILROAD news.
Santa Fe Will Build Double
Track West from Chicago.
Work VIII Begin as Soon as
Weather Will Permit.
DISTANCE OF SO MILES.
Work OH Enlporia Cutoff Will
Also Be Completed.
Gossip and Matters Of Interest
i'm Railroad Circles.

The Santa Fe railroad will begin the
work of construction of double track
west from Chicago as soon as the
weather will permit in the spring.
The Santa Fe already operates seven
miles of double track to handle trains
coming out and going into Chicago. This
small piece of double track will be ex-
tended to Joliet at once where the Santa
Fe and the Chicago & Alton railroads
operate the single track lines of each
of the two railroads as a double track
between Joliet and Coal City, distance
of q miles.
This will give the Santa Fe double
track west from Chicago for a distance
of 63 miles and which will be the OPEN
ing wedge for the building of double
tracks between Chicago and Kansas
City.
West from Kansas City the Santa Fe
has sections of double track aggregat-
ing about $50 miles via the Emporia
cutoff to Newton, Kan, a distance of
more than 200 miles. The so miles of
connecting links which will give 200
miles of continuous double track will
be constructed as fast as possible after
the weather will permit in the spring.
The State Journal recently printed
map of the proposed construction of
double track west of Kansas City on
the cutoff which will accomplish the
aim for continuous double track as far
west as Newton.
All main line trains of the Santa Fe
are operated by the manual block sys-
tenn.
