Mr.. Bryan I'm Nebraska.

William J. Bryan is a candidate for
the United States senate which means
there will be a whirlwind campaign i'll
the state of Nebraska. This year he
will give much of his time to that
state. and he may carry il now. even
though he lost it in another fight.
In 1900 Mr.. Bryan. it is recalled, was
able 10 give but a very small share
OF his time TO Nebraska; this year he
will be able TO make speech in every
county in the state. He will ask that
men be sent 10 the legislature who
later will vote to send him 10 the
United States senate. Bryan is easily
the big man of Nebraska. and the vo-
tiers of that state will know that if
they get him to the United States sen
ate they and their state will claim
more than a fair share of attention
Take II all in all. the democrats
have just as good a show TO carry Ne
braska this year as they had in either
of the last two national campaigns.
That is another state whose returns
will be watched on election night.

Yes. it will soon be here. The first
part of next month, that is August.
hay fever is scheduled to arrive in
Rock Island. 1t is a sorry day in the
calendar of every sufferer from this
distressing ailment, for it marks the
beginning of one continuous sneeZe
until frost 1t is either that or immi-
grafton during the period of affecta-
tion.
Rock Islands not the worst climate
TO have the dreaded disease, but those
that have il say it is bad enough. 1t
is said that hay fever becomes preva-
lent in community through the
agency of numerous weeds. At this
season of the year some weeds pro,
duce a pollen upon which certain
germs feed and are then carried
through the air. These germs are in
hailed and persons susceptible to the
disease feel an irritation to the nose
and eyes. Some people put up cheese
cloth screens to their rooms and take
up habitatiOn therein. This device has
proven efficient in some instances.
Others take trip in the northern
country for several weeks.
Now it is declared that a professor
at Berlin has found an antitOxin for
hay fever. He collected the pollen of
all weeds known to produce the hay
fever and made a broth. The germs
died and sunk to the bottom. The
clear broth used upon animals pro
duced an antitoxin serum.

st. Petersburg, April 26.-The AS
sociated Press is enabled to announce
authoritatively that the talk of med
iation in the Russo-Japanese war was
founded upon the personal desires OF
King Edward and King Christian of
Denmark, to avoid further bloodshed
and end the conflict, but that the
steps instituted have utterly failed.
The Emperor, with the full concur
renee of the imperial family, and his
advisors, has firmly decided not only
to reject all proposals looking to in
terVention, but to prosecute the war
with all the resources of the empire
until victory crowns the Russian
arms. and then when the time comes
for peace to make terms directly with
the enemy. The interference of out
side powers will not be tolerated.
There is to be no repetition of the
Berlin Congress.
Furthermore, the Associated Press
is authorized to state that Russia will
in no wise consider herself bound by
the propositions made to Japan prior
to the war. The hoStilitieS have
wiped out the engagements Russia Of
fered to make with Japan regarding
Korea and Manchuria. Russia will
consider herself free to impose such
terms as she desires

Decision in the Virginia
Suffrage Cases.
NOTHING AS TO MERIT
The Court Simply Declares That the
Actions From Which Relief is
Asked Having Been Com
mitted. No Relief is
Possible.
(By the Associated Press }

Washington, April 25.-The Vir-
ginia cases involving the validity of
the suffrage provision of the new
Virginia State Constitution were to-
day dismissed by the United States
Supreme Court on the ground that no
relief was possible, the acts from
which relief was sought having al
ready been committed.
There were two cases, one being a
proceeding by Jones and others to
secure a writ of prohibition against
the Virginia State Board of Canvas
sers TO prevent it's passing upon the
returns of the election held Novem-
ber "a, 1902, and the other a pro-
ceeding in equity by Selden and
others. Justice Brewer delivered the
opinion of the court. He did not
enter into the merits of the case, but
confined himself to the impractical
bility ofthe granting of relief.
He said:
THE prayer of the petitioners spec
ifically is to restrain the canvass of
the returns of the election of No
vember 4, 1902. Even the general
clause at the close of the prayer is
for such other and further orders In
the premises as shall and may make
the prayer of your petitioners effect
ual; but, as shown by affidavit, and
as indeed, we might perhaps, take
judicial notice by the presence in
the House of Representatives of the
individuals elected at that election
from the various Congressional dis
tricts Of Virginia, the things sought to
be prohibited has been done and cam
not be undOne by any order of court.
The canvass has been bade, certi-
ficates Of election have been issued,
the House of Representatives which
is the sole judge of the qualifications
of its members, has admitted the part
les holding the certificates to seats in
that body, and any adjudication which
this court might make would be only
an Intellectual decision of the question
whether or not these petitioners were
Wronged by what has been fully ac-
compliShed. Under those circum-
stances there is nothing but a moot
case remaining, and the motion to
dismiss must be sustained
The equity case was dismissed on
same ground as the prohibition case.

Winston-Salem. N. c., April 25.-An
officer accompanied by Mr.. w. F.
JAIME, Of Davie county, left here for
Iowa in search of Mrs. G.. II. Graham
and the man she ran OH with, Frank
c. Warden, the first part of last week.
Mr.. James, who the is father of Mrs.
Graham. is q prominent business man
of his county. He conducts one or
two stores and a tobacco manufactur-
ing business. He is willing to spend
81, 900 or more if necessary to get his
daughter back.
Mr.. Graham is only anxious about
the return of his two-year-old daugh-
ter. His wife left her home at Farm
ington early last week, while the hus-
ban was in Statesville attending Fed
eral court. Mrs Graham left a note
for her husband, in which she stated
that she was gone never to return.
The affair has stirred the entire
community in and around Farming
ton. Mrs. Graham and Mr.. James en-
ployed a lawyer, who prepared the ne
ceSsary papers to have the parties ar
rested and brought back here for
trial. A commission was sent to Gov
ernOr AycOck and he signed it, the
same being a requisition on the Gov
ernor of Iowa, asking for the surren-
der of Mrs. Graham and little daugh-
ter and Warden. Papers for the ar
rest of the parties were sgned by So
lctor Graves.
Warden and Mrs. Graham are
charged with the larceny of money and
watches belonging to the womans
husband. When she went away Mrs.
Graham took every cent of her hus-
bands money, amounting to quite a
sum.
Warden left this city five or six
years ago to escape arrest for some
crime. He came back last November
and since tHat time has been wornI ~
in and around Pennington. 1t is @aiG
that he and Mrs. Graham, who IS
quite handsome woman, were sweet
hearts before her marriage.

of their adherents.
