 He was suddenly called to New York on Sunday on very important business. He was staying In the country at the time and promptly rushed down to the station. only to find out that no more trains left that day. the railway being a small branch, one of little importance.
 "Is there no way of my getting to New York;" h" panted. out of breath with his rushing
 None that know" quoth the station master, chewing a straw and regarding him indifferently.
 Well. can't you get me a special train, or at least an engine? can't help the expense. I must reach New York tGnightw
 Nope. II can't be done"
 But. my good man, do you know who I am? I'm Bishop Pottern
 The rustic took the straw from his mouth and eyed the reverend gentle man up and down.
 T don't care if you were the su- perintendent of the road" he roared. you couldn't get a train out of here on Sunday" And with that he went into his little shack and slammed the door.

 NebFaka.
 Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 1O.-William J Bryan gave out Q statement today an- nouncing that as soon as he returned from his southeastern trip he would enter the campaign in Nebraska and several other States.
 MT Bryan said he felt deeply inter ested in the Nebraska result and prais- ed the ability of the gentlemen on the fusion ticket. Touching on the candi- dacy of Ashton c. Shallenberger. fu- sion nominee for Governor, MT. Bryan said:
 He is not only in favor of the rigid enforcement of railroad regulation and 2-cent passenger fare, but he advocat- ed Government ownership of railroads before I did"
 4 Mir. Bryan continued: The election Fin Nebraska is not only important be- cause of it's bearing on State matters, but also because of its influence upon the next national campaign.
 The result next year will be taken as an indication of the trend of public sentiment. We are entering upon a great fight for the extermination of the trusts and the protection of the pIblic from exploitation at the hands of the railroads. The Republican Par ty has shown its inability to deal eff fectively with these and kindred sub jects.
 wherever the President has at- tempted 60 do anything he has been compelled to follow the Democratic rather than the Republican platform and the Republicans in Congress have not supported him. The Republican Senate emasculated his rate bill and a Republican Congress opposed his meat inspection bill.
 The best way to stand by the Pres ident is to elect Democrats to Congress and to the Senate, for the Democrats have stood by him better than the Re-
