There will be some differences
of opinion between Mr.. Bryan
and the people of his party on
the qGsGt;o2 &c Cova,urceUt
ership of railroads and other mi.
nor points In his platform, but he
has made a fiue opening for the
campaign two years hence in
which he may be made regularly
chosen leader of the emocracy,
as he Is already its most distin-
guished and influential spokes-
man.
Mr.. Bryan's reception in New
York yesterday was one of the
most remarkable political demon
strations in the history of this
country. 1t showed the marvel
lous hold that he has upon the
confidence of the people. He be
haved himself with his usual
good sense and what he said will
strengthen him immensely with
all his old followers and will in
fluence his former opponents to
take kindlier view Of him and
Of his claims to their respect and
support.
THINKS BRYAN BLUNDERED.
New York special in Charlotte
Observer: Democrats in New
York city today are openly de-
ploring Bryau's speech at Madi-
son Square Garden. Now that
the utterances of the man to
whom they looked to lead the
party to victory have had tim Q
to sink into their minds, the
conviction has become general
that, in voiclng his new theory
of State ownership of railroads,
Bryan made one the greatest
blunders of his career. Not a
substantial Democrat could be
found today who did not shake
his head when the Bryan speech
was mentioned.
"Do you know what Bryan di d
last night9" asked one the most
prominent Democrats In New
York city today. "ln the utter
ance Of SO words on railroads he
consigned himself from the lead
ership of a great party to the
political scrap heap" Others ex
pressed the same view, though
not so forcibly; some would no
commit themselves farther thar
the ominous head. shake goes.

Bryan's Platform.
Synopsis of his Great Speech
Press Comments on his
Views.

S"uhiy, was puD-
Ished in our last issue. The fol.
lowing is the associated press
synopsis of bis speech
Mr.. Bryan's speech was a clear.
cut outline of his ideas as to what
the Democratic policy should be.
The election of United States
Senators by the people; regula.
tion of trusts by the Government,
a universal eight hour day; set
Element of all international dis
putes by arbitration rather than
resort to force, and revision of the
tariff were some of his points
Mr.. Bryan declared, however, that
he was merely explaining his own
opinion and not attempting to
forecast the policy of his party.
Mr. Bryan declared that the
trusts were the great issue of the
day he called for the enforce
mept Of the criminal clause of the
Sherman nti-tIust law and the
placing of the trust controlled
articles on the free list.
He went into the question of
the Government ownership of the
railroads at great length and de.
clared that what he had seen in
other countries had served to
strengthen his convictions on the
subject. He saw no danger in
Capitalization, however, and for
this reason advocated the Federal
ownership of the trunk lines, and
the State ownership of the local
lines.
The speaker gave the President
some praise for what he ed
his adoption of Democratic ideas.

In commenting upon Bryan's
great speech the News and

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

DOSING THE COOK.
What Would Happen if This Custom
Were Now Revived?

An English magazine printed in
1907 affords an opportunity to
learn Of the hygienic treatment of
cooks at that period. Similar pro
ceedings In these enlightened times
would promptly depopulute our
kitchens. It appears that in Eng
land at the date mentioned it was
considered the correct thing to ad-
minister medicine to cooks at stated
intervals. This was insisted upon
whether or not they resisted. The
theory in vogue as a reason for this
heroic treatment was that the con-
tinued fumes of cookery and the ne
cessity of drinking often to cool the
throat produced bile and humors
that injured the sense of taste. The
local effect was to excoriate the pal
ate, and unless prompt remedies
were applied it became callous and
the cooks usefulness imperiled.
To restore the integrity of the or
gans of taste it was considered i'm
perative to resort to the following
treatment: The victim was first sub
jected to two days of preparatory
regimen, when decoction of man.
ma, SIENNA and salts was administer
ed. One days rest was allowed,
when the dose was repeated. A re-
spite of forty-eight hours interven-
ed, when, if favorable results fol-
lowed, a heavier dose was given.
The periodical quoted reviews the
contingencies likely to arise from
this enforced regimen. As matter
of precaution it insists that employ
ers shall make service dependent
upon prompt acquiescence in this
heroic formula. If the cook is re-
calcitrant she is either to be dis
missed without payment of wages
or reduced to the position of soul
lion. The forced administration of
SIENNA, mamma and salts to the
naughty beings who preside over
our kitchens would promptly land
heads of households in a police
court, to say nothing of preliminary
athletic manifestations with availa-
BILE pots and pans.

Honey Dew on Leaves

The peculiar deposit often no.
ticed on the upper surfaces of
leaves, especially upon those of the
Eastwood and the hickory, has been
accounted for in two ways-by the
excretion of species of minute
insect called aphides and also as an
emulation Of the leaves themselves.
1t may be truthfully said that the
cause of this emulation, which is a
saccharire liquid of wonderful
sweetness, is still an unsolved bo-
tanical mystery. Gray says, at
seems to be caused by something
peculiar in the atmosphere that oc-
ours most frequently on trees grow
ing upon islands in temperate lati-
tudes."

The pain in my back would get SO

secretions from the kidneys were

The PROSTATE Beast Was Not as Dead
as He Seemed.
In Russia it is the practice to
hunt bears just as they are creeping
out after their long sleep. As things
are managed the most timid indi-
Yidual may go bear hunting with
perfect IMMUNITY. Armed with a
good rifle, accompanied by friend
and guide similarly equipped, the
most Impractical hand can usually
get his quarry before the half
awake creature has proceeded far
from his lair. And yet occasionally
the unforeseen occurs, as it did in
an adventure. related by Mr.. Viii
shaw in ''Out of Doors In Gar
land"
The baron and the colonel had
purchased rights over a alternating
bear, declared to be one of the
largest ever seen. When the ami
NAL was fairly dislodged from his
place of concealment the baron, who
had secured the first shot, fired, and
the enormous creature fell PROSTATE
and motionless.
The baron was jubilant. Hand
ing his rifle to the keeper, he seated
himself on a fallen tree.
'It's magnificent specimen"
said the colonel. wouldn't it be
awkward if it should get up?'
"Get upp exclaimed the baron.
"He's as dead as Caesar. Lookp
And going up to the PROSTATE crea-
ture he gave it a kick with his
heavy shooting boot. To his horror
the bear roared and rose to its full
height. With blood pouring out of
its mouth it fell bodily on the baron,
forcing him to his back and pitching
on top of him. The colonel took
one step toward his rife, but the
movement caused the bear to place
one huge paw on the baron's chest
and to fix its wicked eyes on the
colonel.
For PHYS sake, don't novel,
said the baron. eff you do he'll
murder me. Let him fix his atten-
ton on you. He suspects you and
won't move if you don't"
The moments seemed intermina-
bic. At last the keeper managed to
edge near enough to receive the
baron's whispered instructions.
"Creep up behind the colonel"
gasped the poor man, 'take his rifle
and shoot the bear behind its shout
derl"
Luckily the keeper was an excel
lent marksman and shot the bear
through the heart. The creature
loosed its hold, shivered and rolled
off the half stifed baron.

Plan That Failed.

A certain henpecked husband of
Muskogee read in the papers where
a girl at Tahlequah had been scared
to death by the discharge of several
cannon crackers, and straightway
went downtown and bought large
supply, intending to fire them. He
hustled his wheelbarrow load of
combustibles up near his wife's
room and touched them off. When
the shower of shattered glass and
broken pieces of timber ceased, the
man felt something cold against his
cheek, and, glancing that way, saw
his wife with a revolver thrust in
his face. She remarked coldly:
'Now, you march into the house
and go to bed or there'n be a sec
ond class funeral" He marched,
muttering under his breath: at

but on a Muskogee woman, neverp
