AWFUL ACCIDENT
AT LAKE MANAWA

Omaha, Neb., July Cat least six
and possibly double that number of
lives were lost as the result of the
collapse of boat landing platform at
Manawa lake at 1880 Wednesday
night.
The accident was due tc a rush OF
people upon the dock III an effort To
get a boat to the other side of the
lake where the car line terminus is.
The dock, which extended into water
from three to seven feet deep, sudden
ly gave way, and hundred or more
men, women and children went into
the lake. Great excitement prevailed
for time, but 1t was thought that
all had been rescued, though some
were hurt, and later Lena Rosenblum,
a young woman from Omaha, died
from her injuries.
1t was not until the work of repair
ing the dock was begun yesterday
morning that 1t was known that any
were drowned. The bodies found yes.
terday were under the timbers of the
dock. A number Of persons are still
reported missing, and 1t is feared that
their bodies will be found in the wa

work-Horse Paraass.
IOWA

All lovers Of horses should be great
iy interested In the movement very
recently started in several cities OF
this country by organizations known
as Work Horse Parade associations,
which have been formed for the pur.
pose of improving the condition OF
work horses. 1t is the object Of the
associations, says the World To-Day,
to induce owners and drivers of work
horses to take more pride in the APP
pearance of their animals, to foster
their humane and intelligent treat
ment, and to arouse the interest OF
the public in the horses which they
see daily at work in the city streets.
The associations endeavor to further
these ends by means of annual
parades, in which all work horses, eX'
cept hack and cab horses, may be en-
tered in competition for prizes. The
horses are classified according to the
business in which they are employed,
prizes being awarded for good hard
working condition, docile and gentle
manners, and for comfortable bar
Messing. Age, counts in the horses
favor, not against him, and other
things being equal, to the elder horse
is awarded the prize. For many
years such parades have taken place
in London and Liverpool and other
large cities of England, where they
have aroused great popular interest
and have been a leading factor in
creating a spirit of pride and emula'
ton in the owners and drivers of
British horses. which has been of the
greatest benefit to the horses them
selves. Pride in the appearance OF
their horses has proved to be strong,
er incentive than a purely disinter>st'
ed regard for their welfare.

BRYAN WOULD ACCEPT
The NOMINATION

Washington, d. c., July S.-Former
United States Senator James K.
Jones of Arkansas, who was chair
man Of the democratic national COM
mittee when William j. Bryan made
his campaigns for the presidency in
1886 and 1900, has received letter
from Mr.. Bryan in which he an
nounces that he will accept the NOM
ination for president for the third
time if it is rendered to him. The
letter is dated June Is at Stockholm,
and is as follows:
Il have been watching political de-
velopments and have noted with graft
flcation the vindication of democratic
principles. You have correctly stated
my position. AS I wrote to Colonel
Wetmore, shall do nothing to secure
another nomination and do not want
one unless the conditions seem to de-
mand it. l may add that enjoy the
freedom of private life and feel that
l can do some good without holding
any Office.
There are, however, certain re-
forms which l would like very much
to see accomplished and 20 assist in
the accomplishment of these reforms
| am willing to become the party
candidate again if, when the time for
nomination arrives, the advocates OF
reform are in control of the party and
think that my candidacy will give the
best assurance of victory. If some
one else seems more available l shall
be even better pleased.
81 need not assure you that / am
more interested in seeing our prin-
ciples triumphant that l am in the
personnel of the ticket The country
needs to have Ueffersonian democracy
applied to all the departments of the
government, state and national, and /
am content to help to make this APP
plication. Yours truly,
"W. ]. Bryan"

Business Letters.

II know" said a business man OF
wide experience, chow crowded with
studies the schools are now, and l
should be 10th to recommend the In
PRODUCTION of any new ones. But do
wish sometimes that the boys and
girls who are giving time to so many
little fadS could be induced, to give
more to the art of writing letters"
He did not refer to the mere art OF
writing correct English or the art OF
writing an interesting personal let
ter, but to the preparation Of really
good business letters, in which the
matter in hand should be treated not
only clearly and concisely, but also
courteously. The need he mentioned,
says Youths Companion, is one which
is felt by thousands of business men,
and may well claim the attention Of
young people of both sexes who look
forward to business life. The ability
to write intelligibly is not rare, but
the capacity to write in such a way
as to produce pleasant personal feel
ing for the house one represents Is
extremely rare. Many writers fail in
the matter of courtesy-either in way
of constant omission. of articles and
constant abbreviation, or, more com.
monty, in neglecting to give the other
man the benefit of the doubt. In
other words, the fault with most busi-
ness letters Is fault Of poor manners
rather than Of mental deficiency.
Never, In any circumstances, allow
your first letter, in case of difference,
to be harsh or discourteous," said q
business man to one Of his clerks. "No
matter how much you think the man
has injured US, give him the benefit
OF the doubt. Assume that he has
made mistake rather than that he
has misrepresented. To take the 9th.
er course Is to enter a blind alley.
You may have to turn round to get out
of it."

CALL TO REVOLT

Published in St. Pc
tersburg
DEDICATED TO MAXIM GORKY
Is Virtually an Appeal to an Armed
Revolution-"Rise to Your Rigfts,
People; Array Yourselves under the
Red Banner" Is the Refrain.

st. Petersburg, July 9.-The TWEEN
tieth Century, formerly the Russ. has
published second poem by NJ Amfit-
eatriff, one Of Russia's brilliant journ-
alist poets, entitled "The New Mar
seillaise." The paper has been con
fiscated and probably will be sup
pressed. The verses are dedicated to
Maxim Gorky and are virtually an
appeal to armed revolt. The refrain
goes:
Rise to your rights, people; array
yourselves under the red banner"
The following is a translation of
typical verse:
Seize the headman's ak and pass
sentence to Stay;
Quit the pillow and grasp the sword
and bludgeon;
The Volga weeps blood for the wrongs
of the people;
Seek your salvation in mortal combat
with the oppressors."
The censors have seized an anti
Semetic brochure entitled: Down
with Amnesty" and the authors have
been held for trial. This brochure
~ especially NiO!tlI dSdluSl llS ldClLl-
bers of the lower house. 1t calls
them fools and says they have sold
themselves to the Jews.
News received here from Biafystock
is to the effect that the Jews are in
such condition of panic that they are
selling all their property and prepar-
ing to emigrate to America.
The testimony in the case of Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky, who is, being
tried by court martial for the sur
render of the destroyer Bedovi in the
battle of the Sea of Japan, has been
submitted and the addresses of coun-
sci probably will be completed today.
The testimony has brought out de-
tail of the cold blooded way in which
Captain Baranoff of the Bedovi aban-
doned the crews of the battleships
Oslabia, Kniaz Suvaroff and Alexan-
der III to death by drowning, refus-
ing to save a single person. The
president of the court virtually called
Captain Baranoff coward in open
sitting. Rojestvensky is the only de-
PENDANT emerging from the investiga-
ton with any credit. He has SUBJ
mitted his case in lieu of pleading by
counsel in the following words:
"Sirs: Russia's feet has been hui
inflated; the people have confidence
in you; / await my punishment"

Letter to b. c. Drake.
Aberdeen, Miss.

Dear Sir: A pound of good meat and
no bone is worth more than half
pound of meat and a half-pound OF
bone; but there are, as you say, a
great many people who won't pay
more than a certain price by the
pound. Give 'em bone; that's right
give 'em plenty of bone!
There are people who won't pay
more than $50 gallon for paint;
give 'em bone!
There's no better school than exper-
fence; cost is higher; but the lesson
is never forgotten.
Let a man paint two houses alike,
same size; one Devoe, the other that
81. so paint. He buys 10 gallons OF
each, and pays s. a day for labor--Ss
a day is s. gallon, easier reckoning
He has to buy two gallons more OF
the 81 so paint and has two gallons
left of Devoe: II gallons $3.50, SIS; s
gallons 81. rs; s14 81 more for cheap
paint.
He'll buy the less-gallons paint
after that. If people are slow to learn
it's because they keep-on buying bone
meat. Give 'em plenty of bone.
Yours truly, F w DEvoE & Co
