He likes to talk with men who know

the heavens fall. If Mr.. bryan could
only sit six years in the Senate there
would be some cracking of the thin ice,
and some noise among the dry bones,
and some hutter among the leaves, and
some rifting OF the clouds. We believe
MIR. Bryan to be strictly an honest man,
and close student of public affairs.

Shortly after 4 o'clock Wednesday
morning occurred the death of Miss
Louise Gilbert, at the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. R. M. Gilbert, in
this city. The young lady was aged 81
years, 6 months and Is days when the
Silent Messenger called her.
Louise Gilbert was born in Polk
county. She was a graduate of the Nc
Minnville high school. Since coming to
this city with her parents few years
ago she attended OAC and was very
popular student. She gaioed quite re-
putation as debater in college circles as
a result OF her genial disposition and nat
ural ability.
Early last spring she accepted charge
of school near McMinnville for term.
At the CO lclusion of her school work
there in June she returned to the home OF
her parents in this city. Up until three
weeks before her death the young lady
was about town in company with her
friends and was as merry and care-free
anybody, and had the appearance oi
possessing the vigor of perfect healtl.
On Thursday, three weeks ago yesterday
she was about town with friends. The
following day she went to the bed from
which death released her.
| She had what is commonly termed
"ealloping" consumption and in the
worst poss be form. The hest medica

matter of attendance, running to
nearly $4,000 as shown bv the
turnstiles, and as children were
admitted free the record of actual
attendance was much higher. As
this show took place prizes SEEM
ed to be given for almost every
possible variation of baby. The
longest and the shortest babies,
the heaviest and the biggest, the
best behaved and the worst be-
haved, the prettiest and the
ugliest, the longest hair and the
least hair, if the baby wouldn't t
FIT one description, he would an
other, and SO the prizes went.
Who wouldn't be a Judge in a
baby show?
An inopportune rain prevent
ed the parade, and the Auditorium
got packed SO full that many
babie couldn't get in. Ever
one who couldn't will be award
ed prize for being left out in
the cold. A baby show will
never be complete success until
one IS arranged where they have
a prize for each baby.
Baby day wound up with the
best naval battle OF the season,
the destruction of the Spanish
fleet at Santiago. 1t was prob
ably the best exhibition of that
class ever given, and kept an
audience of thousands delighted
for half an hour. By the aid of
