There is to be no retraction of Bryan's

Dental campaign, or at least the follow
ers of Bryan will not surrender thcm.
This was shown at the dollar dinner
given in Lincoln, Nebraska, Monday
night, celebrating Bryan's return from
abroad. Eight hundred people Were
seated at the table and two hundred
more clamored for admission. Bryan
declared himself in no uncertain terms

THE OTHER SIDE.

Whether the Wheeling Intelligencer
has turned Democratic or not under the
new management, it is a fact beyond
dispute that it Is still chuck full of the
good old Republican doctrine that has
characterized its long existence. So
long as this is so, it Is not a matter of
grave concern, whether a Democratic
newspaper man or 1.-Two are interested in
it financially. Pursuing the course it
does, that of advocating Republican
principles, the logical conclusion is that
the Democrats, who are reputed to be
interested in it will be much worse fol-
wear than the paper itself. They 1t is
who will be held to account by theiI
Democratic brethren for disseminating
Republican doctrine and promulgatinp
Republican principles, the result of which
will weaken their party standing and
influence. So, those who are raising
s,ich howl should see that there is an,
other side to the question, even more
serious than that they are putting up.

MANAGERS PROVIDE
FOR PATRONS SAFETY
Managers Dockstader and
Humphries Tell of Their
Respective Theatres

Following the interview with Jesse
Baylis. manager Of the Opera House
in the Evening Journal yesterday W. l..
Dockstader. owner of the new GarriclS
Theatre. and Daniel Humphries. man
ager Of the Lyceum Theatre. both say
that they have taken every precaution
against fire. Mr.. DOckstader said.
"The stage of the Garick is equip
ped with fire extinguishers Of the lat
est design There is a fire wall OF
brick extending from the floor TO the
extreme height Of the roof. There are
slylights with the latest fusible link
system, so should there be a fire ON
the stage these links burst throwing
open the skyliehts which act as iue
and would carry an smoke ana flames
through these openings. The height of
the roof Is 6S feet. the height TO the
top of the curtain is 30 feet and the
/ difference between the curtain and roof
3S feet make a draft fiue of that height
protected on all sides by a brick wall
laid In cement. Besides there are win-
dows in the rigging loft which also aid
the draft ilue.
AN asbestos curtain has been order
ed and win be placed in position in
ten days. There is also a water plug
and so feet of hose on a reel that can
be used without a minutes delay.
There are fire axes and buckets easy
lof access. The dressing rooms are en-
tirely separate from the theatre. This
is I'm itself quite a safety feature. All
actors and attaches Of the house have
IAN easy access across to exits from the
stage without using the front entrances
and causing confusion. All steam pipes
and boiler rooms are encased in ashes
tos covering. The floors and cellars
are cemented. All border lights and
all gas jets are covered with nets OF
wire. The stage wiring has been pro.
nounced by the underwriters to be com.
plete and safe. j do not hesitate L,
say that we have as safe a stage as
can be found in the country.

LEVY COURT
TO REORGAN|zE
Chandler Will Probably
Again Be Chosen AS Presi-
dent OF That Body
KNOWLES SLATED FOR ATTORNEY
Efforts Being Made to Defeat the
Above Slate--On Next Tuesday
Standing Committees For the Year
Will Also Be Appointed.

Much interest is being taken by poll
ticians in the reorganizing OF the Levy
Court which takes place next Tuesday al-
though the reelection OF Mr.. Chandler
president and Horace G.. Knowles attor-
ney OF the Court seems assured. Il is un-
drestood that an effort Is being made 20
break this slate.
There are five Republican members o.
the court and it therefore requires three
OF the five votes to control the caucus. The
members who are expected 70 control tho
caucus arc Messrs Chandler. Hopkins
and Megginson. in which case Mr.. Chan
dler and Mr.. Knowles are sure to be re-
elected.
1t Is rumored that a combination op-
posed to the recollection Of the above two
officers has been endeavoring 90 get con-
troll Of the caucus but without success.
IL is a well known fact that some Of the
Court House officials would like very
much TO oust Knowles and have some
other member but Mr.. Chandler elected
presiding officer.
Members Of the court may come to th'
city on Monday to hold a caucus and 81
not 81 will be held Tuesday morning.
In addition TO the election OF a presl
dent and attorney, the court next Tuesda,
will also appoint the standing committees
for the year. The most important one Il
the finance committee Of which c. C
Hopkins is now chairman. Mr.. Hopkins
will probably retain the Craftsmanship o
that committee.
