william j. Brysn's Popularity.

The one-horsc critics of the coun-
try who have made it a point for years
to hurl all kinds OF public abuse and
sarcasms at William Jennings Bryan I;
have tried to place him at the lowest
ebb of craftsmanship as well as citi-
zenship, are panied today to find that
rue merit wins, even though the vitu-
porous bounding Of self-appointed
'.knockers" have kept the air tainted
with unworthy %vitriol, in an effort to
kill off the man whom they have fol-
lowed and goaded to the limit.
The Chillicothe Constitution makes
known a statement coming from o.
4. Coons, manager Of the Slayton Ly-
ueum Bureau, who was in ChilliCothe
recently relative TO the results fnan-
cially Of Mr.. Bryan's lecture season.
The Constitution had previously pub
lished that VIM. ]. Bryan's lecture
season had netted him $4,000.
Manager Coons smiled as he cor
rected the statement: ''Mr. Bryan's
lecture season ncttcd him $1,000.
and that is more than any other lee
turer on the American platform made.
He is the best drawing card on our
bureau books. His lectures are Won
dcrfully popular. and the personality
Of the mar makes him all the better
liked. He receives a little more
than $500 for every lecture he dcliv-
srs. and is constantly in demand
Evidently Mr.. Bryan is not losing
much sleep over the Presidency or
any other political Office. 1t would be
a sacrifice for him. the honor and sat-
isiaCtion Of being chosen to FIJI the
highest position in the gift OF the
American people with hat ability he
IS known to possess. would be a pleas
IRE to him. Just as it would be to
any statesman. but the fact is that Mr..
Bryan will never need the Presidents

door, and is wholly responsible for
his " high standing with the peo-
pie of this country.

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
Female Insect Will Be the Progenitor
Of Three Billion Young.

From the Garden Magazine.
The life history of the San Jose scale, the
greatest insect pest of modern times, is a
a tragedy as well. Commencing in June
the females continue to produce young,
each averaging about 400 or from nine to
ten every twentyfour hours.
The newborn wanders forth in search of
a favorable place to establish ITSELF and
within relatively. few hours ION an average
a little over twenty-seven) settles at some
convenient point and works its slender,
hair-like beak through the bark. If it be
female it never moves from this spot, and
soon loses legs antennae and eyes and be-
comes virtually an animated pump draw
ing the vital fluids from the tree.
The female scale insect requires about thir-
ty days to attain maturity, and the male from
twenty-four to twenty-six; thus the round
of life may be completed in from thirty
three to forty days. Detailed studies made
at Washington show that four entire gen.
erations are normally developed In a year.

THE RoMANoFF DYNASTY.
First of the Cars Was Chosen by a
REPRESENTATIVE Assembly,,

The Romanoff dynasty of czars, of which
the present Emperor of Russia Is member
has ruled the empire since 1913, when
Michael Feodorovitch Romanoff was elected
car by an assembly of representatives, fol-
lowing national uprising, says the New
York Tribune. The previous rulers, the de-
scendants of Ivan LII, who threw off the
yoke of the Mopgols in 1462 became extinct
about 1892, and the country had been torn
by wars among the mobiles and by popular
risfngs against them. 1t was as the cham
pion of the last of these risings that the
Romanoff dynasty came into power.
The steady growth of the Russian empire
began about that time. Michael purchased
peace from the Poles and devoted himself
to strengthening the empire, but under his
son the territory given the Poles was re-
covered and his grandson conquered the
Cossacks and fought the first successful
war with the Turks. Another grandson of
Michael Peter the Great, is considered in
many respects the real founder of the
empire as modern power. 1t was he who
of the Russians Of his day the occidental
customs which have been so fruitful
source of trouble ever since. Under Peter
the empire wrested territory from the
Turks Poland and Sweden, and the internal
administration of the government, as well
as its foreign policy, was placed practically
on the footing it now occupies.
The next period of rapid development in
Russia came under Catherine IL Q!6z-e6),
who assembled the throne after causing the
murder Of her husband, Peter III. She fur
thered the spread of western civilization
In the empire enacted laws favorable to the
development of commerce and industry and
introduced administrative changes. She
was the guiding spirit in the spoliation of
Poland and fought the Turks in two sue
cessful wars. Her son, Paul !. carried on

LEASE OF Usage LANDS.
Bill Giving President Authority Fa-
YorablY Reported

The House committee on Indian affairs
today formally reported the Curtis bill au-
thorizing the President to extend for a
term of ten years the lease now in effect
between the Cherokee Oil Company and
the Usage tribe of Indians.
The matter is of more than ordinary in
terest, as the lease covers about million
acres of oil lands, each section of which
Consisting of $40 acres is now estimated
to be worth 81 100000.
The original lease was for ten years. and
will expire in April, 1906. The oil company
wants renewal for another term of ten
years. but Indian Commissioner Leupp is
said to be opposed to this course
AT present the Usage tribe receives one
tenth in royalties on the production of
OIL An idea of the value of the wells can
be had from the fact that in the month
of December, 1904, the one-tenth share
amounted to $4,000
The Cherokee Oil Company has sub-leased
a considerable portion of it's property to
other oil concerns, on one-SiXth basis and
both the parent company and associate ted or
CARNATIONS want the lease extended
1t is probable that some agreement will
be reached whereby the Cherokee Company
will be permitted to extend its loan a few
years at least to enable 1t to make a
fair profit on the original investment.

Alexander /, who assumed power in 1901,
was lover of peace and abolished serfdom
in the Baltic provinces. 1t was he who
fought Napoleon and led him into the dis
astrous invasion of Russia. The latter
years of his reign were less liberal, and
his son carried on a reactionary policy His
grandson, Alexander II, however proved
the most liberal of Russia's rulers, and,
while prosecuting the expansion of the en-
pire in all directions instituted many in
ternal reforms. He abolished the secret
police, and was said to be about to propose
marked changes in the form of government
when he was assassinated in 1881.
His son, Alexander III, took as advisers
the extreme reactionaries and autocrats.
He was succeeded in 1894 by Nicholas II,
the chief feature of whose reign has been
the development of Asatic Russia.

woman. but when one arrived her mind be-

she was remanded later in the day, Mr..
John Foster said that as the prisoner was
a friend of his wfe's mother, and she was
out of work, he had given her shelter for
the past month The young woman had
been very much worried and perturbed over
