city of ten thousand inhabitants At
Owosso Junction, Mr.. Bryan was handed
copy of The Weekly Press. A column
on the first page was marked with the
editors own blue pencil.
The article to which attention was
thus directed was Republican campaign
argument, list of questions on gold and
silver standards which Mr. Bryan was
asked to answer.
Mr. Bryan asked for information re-
garding the paper. He was informed
that the editor, H. Kirk White was a
Jeffersonian Democrat who had cut
loose from the party and its Presidential
candidate when the banner of Free
Silver was raised. By means of ener-
geuc editorial and personal work the
editor had taken several hundred other
Democratic voters with him.
And he dares send me those ques-
tons, does he?" demanded Mr.. Bryan.
Never fear; III answer them"
When he mounted the platform from
which he was to speak, it did not tend
to less belligerent frame of mind to
discover that nearly every man in the
big crowd was armed with a copy of
The Owosso Press. In fact, a dozen
small boys were distributing the papers.
Mr. Bryan wasted no time in prelimi-
naries. Where is H. Kirk White?"
he demanded Where is the editor of
The Owosso Press?"
There was a moments silence, while
the immense audience, stretching away
in every direction from the open-air
stage. adjusted itself to the new state
of affairs. The people had come to hear
a serious political speech but if there
was to be any fun extracted from the
situation they were willing to enjoy it.
Where is the editor of The Owosso
Press" again demanded the speaker.
Echo and the small boys answered
"Where?" A dozen-yes, a score
volunteered to show him Mr.. White; but
as they gleefully pointed to all points of
the compass, their kindness was unap-
precIated.
For ten minutes, while he brandished
the offending paper aloft, disregarding
cries of Speech, speech!" Mr.. Bryan
continued to call for the editor; then,
amid Kisses, catcalls and groans, he re-
tired to his car. and the special train

is located. voted heavily against Mr..
Bryan on election day.
Four years passed. Another cam
paign was on, and Mr.. Bryan was again
a candidate for the Presidency. He
was once more swinging round the
circle" { nd as in 1896 the Nebraskan in
vaded Michigan. At Laingsburg, ten
miles south of Owosso, Mr.. White, now
editor of daily paper, boarded the
special. He was still Gold Democrat;
but believed the silver issue to be per-
manently eclipsed by larger questions,
and had decided to support Mr. Bryan.
He was ushered into the candidates

the Platte. as they shook hands Il

ure would have been greater four years
ago"
The crowd at Owosso was hostile at
first, and there were derisive calls for the
editor when Mr.. Bryan appeared upon
the fat-car from which he spoke; but
when the well-known face and figure of
Mr.. White appeared beside him the
antagonism melted away in roar of

FORMER COLD WEATHER.

Bailey in the Britt Tribune: When
the country was first settled here,
cattle had but little shelter, and ma
ture provided them with very heavy
coats Of hair for protection. In the
spring when they shed their coats the
hair was matted together and SO
heavy that when it came off over
their heads it frequently pulled the
horns with it. This was where the
mooley COW came from.
In 1882 two sundogs froze to death
and fell on the Hinman farm near
Belmond. Mr.. Human took their
hides off and had a coat made OF
them.
In 1880 the Methodist minister al
Garner had a nightmare, but she was
frozen SO badly that she Shed hel

chillblains came on the foot of the

published by the United States Geo
logical Survey, shows that 5,41S ma
chimes were employed in 1902 as
against 2,622 in 1898.
In few Of the states there was a
decided decrease in the number on
machines used, but with the excep-
ton of Wyoming these were states
in which comparatively little devel-
opment in the mechanical production
of coal has been made All of the
states where the use of machines had
exerted any significant effect upon
the production prior to 1902 showed
substantial increase in that year.
OHIO claims the largest proportion
ate production by the use of ma
chimes, more than half the product OF
that state in 1902 having been ma
chine mined Ohio also stands sec
end in the total of machine-mined
coal, Pennsylvania being first. IlIi-
nois ranks third in the amount of coal
produced by machines, West Virginia

states comprise the welllxnown com
petitive' coal fields In 1902 they

States and % per cent Of the total
tonnage Of macnine-mined coal.
The total machine-mined product
reported for 1902 was 69, GIL $50 short
tons, an increase, as compared with
57,SfS,335 short tone in 1901, Of H.
| 76S,247 short tone, or 20 per cent. As
the total production Of bituminous
coal in the United States in 1902 was
Is per cent larger than in 1901,it will
be seen that, on the whole, the pro-
duction by the use of machines has
more than kept pace with the increas-
ed output. In fact the percentage OF
the machine-mined product to the to
tai output has increased from 25,6S
in 1901kto 5000 in 1902
The Statistics for 1902 as contained
in the Surveys report have all been
obtained from the reports made To
the Geological Survey by the coai
mine operators. 1t is possible that
the falling off in machine production
1 in some states has been due to the
failure of operators to reply to this

schedules. Where no machines have
been reported, it has been considered
that none was in use, although the

A BISHOP ON THE PHILIPPINE


So much information has been dis

occupation in the Philippine arcniped-
ago, either through ignorance or poll
teal motive that it is refreshing to
have statement from an American
of ability and unblemished character

an article in the Northwestern Chris
tian Advocate, after a brief survey of
the history of the islands, declares
"the white mans burdens are heav-
Ter" there than elsewhere for the fol-
lowing reasons:
(a) The Filipino people had never
worked except on compulsion. There
was no incentive. To get rich was to
invite confiscation of property and de.
portation of person.
OBJ The rinderpest destroyed nine
ty per cent of the caribou, the work
ing animal of the islands.
(c) OF course fame followed. Not
over twenty-five percent of the rice
crop was raised Then came locusts

dead ones, giving one pound of rice
for four dead grass hoppers.

by petitions to work against the prop
osition While it may be true that a
great many of these protests origi-
nate with the country store keepers,
who fear that the working of such a
system would interfere with their bus
mess and work to the interest of the
mail order houses in the cities, an
other source Of objection to the prop
osition is unquestionably the express
companies of the country. These
companies have opposed the PROPOSE
ton ever since it was first brought
up in congress.
On the other hand there are inter
ests working in favor or the proposed
legislation. Paid Hobbies are in the
national capital busily engaged in
bringing forward arguments in favor
of the plan and though there is no
probability of immediate success, this
lobby continues to urge it upon the
national legislators
Ex-Congressman Loud, of Califor-
mia, discusses this subject at length
in an article appearing recently in the
North American Review. Mr.. Loud
was long chairman or the house post
| Office committee and by reason of the
information and experience gained
during that time ana his knowledge
of postal affairs, his statements are
| exceptionally interesting. He op
poses the express business under the
management of the government, be
cause it's adoption would involve the
| organization of an entirely new
branch of business, the providing d
| large and expensive ware houses II
all the large cities of the country, tht
ownership and use of vast drayagt
and wagon systems, also an entirely
new system of transmission, unless
the advocates of the measure propose
to carry the parcels post matter Oh
fast trains with mail at maximum
cost, which would be improbable be
cause Of delay in loading and unload
ing.
4 Mr.. Loud comedies that the express
/ business is profitable to the compa
MES but he does not agree that tn;
government could make 1t pay b.
charging the same rates they do. Hi
reason for this position is good lie
cause the government can do nothini
as cheaply as can the private compa
ny. Mr.. Loud cites as an instanc
the money order business conducte,
by the postof1ice department and TIL
express companies. The government
nets a loss, while the express comps
MES make a profit. Advocates of Ia
measure cite England, France an
Germany as to the success of the pal
cells post system. But In these cour
tries short distances and dense popi
lations prevail. Mr. Loud states tha

W. Blythe occupies the most unique
and perhaps commanding position of
any man in the state of Iowa today.
He has been called Iowa's most dis

certainly is. Mr.. Blythes home is at
Burlington, Iowa. By profession he
is lawyer and is now general solic-

politics in behalf Of his father-in-law,
the late Senator John H. Gear, whose
campaigns he so successfully man.
aged During these campaigns he
displayed those qualities of leader
ship which have made him what he
is today. His position is unique in
that he has never sought nor held
any political office. 1t is commanding
in that he has as many, if not more,
men looking to him. for direction in
political affairs than any ether man
in the state Seldom has a man who
has never held political office welded
sucn power.
His enemies have at different times
| tried to make him out political boss.
! This charge, however, melts into thin
air before his wise and just purposes
and his genial nature. In his intel
lectual attachments he is more the
| scholar than the politician, while in
manners he is the perfect gentleman
! He is a man of few words, but when
| he speaks his words are we'll consid
cred He is not the man who will
ever cause trouble for himself, his
friends or his party by cratic or un
safe propositions. Vanity and self
| conceit, as these words are generally
understood, seem to have been left Out

seems almost to verge on timidity
He seems to avoid, rather than tc
