Launched at Chicago.
On the Occasion of the Jefferson
Club Banquet.
NOTABLE TESTIMONIAL |
Is Extended to the Leader of
the Democracy.
On the Eve of His Depa rture
for World Tour.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-William j.
Bryan, soon to leave for tour of the
world, was the recipient of a notable
Testimonial of esteem last night at a
banquet given in his honor by the JEFF
ferson club at their rooms, Randolph
and Clark streets. Covers We're laid
for 500 guests and among those pres
ent We're Congressman H, T. Rainey,
of Illinois; Ollie M. James. of Ken
lucky; Mayor Edward F. Dunno, of
Chicago; Judge James B. Tarvin, of
Aurora, ILL.,; E. L. Masters, president
of the Jefferson club; Clarence S.

liam Prentiss was POSTMASTER. He in
troduced as first speaker, Congress
man Rainey. of Illinois, who spoke of
Our Obligations as a World Power
at Home and Abroad" Congressman
Raineys address had as it's keynote
revision.
Mayor Dunno Speaks.
Mayor Dunno was cordially greeted
as he rose to speak on THE Progress
Of Municipal Ownership" He said in
part:
1--WE have met tonight to do honor
and wish bon voyage to our distin-
guished and admired guest, Colonel
Bryan. We admire and respect him
because at all times and under all cir
which he found himself he has stood
for purity in politics and placed man
before mammon.
Whether in victory or in defeat, he
has always stood for the right, and
the man who SO acts must always earn
as he has earned, the respect and
confidence of his fellow countrymen.
"And now that he is leaving US for
trip abroad, our good wishes go with
him, and we ask him. in his travels
abroad, to note well the advantages
and disadvantages of governmental in
stitutions, and to bring back to us the
perience. And particularly we ask
him to inquire into and report to US
the results which he discovers of the
operation of great public utilities in
private and in. public hands,"
Mayor Dunno then discussed the
progress made towards municipal
ownership in Chicago since the spring
election of 1905. saying he had no
doubt that the plan which he had sub
nitted to the city council would, if
adopted, bring about municipal own
ership of the street railways at q very
early date.
James EuIogizes Bryan.
Ollie NJ. James, of Kentucky, brought
out round after round of applause by
the eulogy of Bryan and the Plea for
Democratic harmony with which he
closed a speech in which he declared
that Bryan had long ago declared in
faVor OF crushing the trusts, reforming
the tariff and bringing to arbitration all
international disputes. He said in part:
The Democratic party of the United
States looks to Bryan as its leader. He
stands for something; he has convic-
tions and the courage to express them.
No longer do the six and half millions
of loyal Democrats look to the east.
The wise men used to be there, but,
with the star of empire, westward they
have taken their way. Listening no
longer to the siren song of Anything to
VIM no longer deluded by the promise
of campaign contributions, we bravely
nail at the masthead of Democracy this

SAMPLE CORN STORY.
Every Kansas NeighbOrhood Has
Its Husking Yarns.


You would never suspect it to look
at him but E. G. Gillette, the travelling
man who makes this town every week
Is a great corn husker. 1t is no trouble
for him to go into a field and husk
two thousand bushels a day. He pre-
fers forty acre fields when he wants
to speed UP to the high notches. His
method is different from most husk-
ers He gets into the center of the
held in the morning and commences
to husk in circle. AS fast as he
strips an ear of corn off the stalk he
throws it to the outside of the field
In the morning when he is fresh it is
no trouble for him to throw SO far
but as evening approaches and his
strength weakens he has gained a
place closer to the outside of the circle
ana It is Just as easy to throw BY
Mr.. Gillette's method at night time he
has a pile of corn in a circle com
pletely surrounding the field in which
he has been working. We know this
story is true for we have Mr.. GilIette's
own word for it.-Robinson Index.

independence, Sept. 13.-The city
schools did not open for the fall term
this week as was expected, on account
of .diphtheria.
There is no epidemic of the disease
and no fear that there will be; but
DR.. Masterman, president of the board
of health, believes an ounce of pre-
ventfon is worth more than a pound of
cure, and simply as a matter of pre-
caution he ordered the postponement
of the opening of the schools.
Up to date there have been 35
cases, but all have been of a light
type and none have proved fatal. At
the present time there are eleven mild
cases. All the patients are getting 5n
nicely and the probabilities are the
opening of the schools will be delayed
only q week.

ind when wash day comes there is no
ikurrying about for the soiled clothing.
The best and the cheapest bag is the
me that can itself be Numbered. Take
.wo lengths of linen scrim, whateve-
ength the bag is to be, and sew them to-
gether at the bottom and almost to the
.op. Wind with white tape two en-

scrim with washable color or with
plain white. II ribbon Is used for
winding the hoops match it TO the color

When the rings are separated the bag
should open wide enough to take in q
