BRYAN WILL ACCEPT.
Would Take Presidential Nomination For
Best Interests Oh The Party.

Former United States Senator
James K. Jones of Arkansas,
who managed Bryan's campaigns
in 1896 and 1900, has received a
letter from the distinguished
Nebraskan in which he says he
will accept the democratic nomi-
nation for president third time
if it is offered him. The letter,
as made public, is as follows:
81 have been watching politi-
cal developements, and have
noted with qualification the vim
dication of Democratic principles.
| shall do nothing to secure
another nomination, and do not

"There are, however, certain
reforms that | would like to see
accomplished and to assist in the

| am willing to become the party
candidate again if, when the time
for nomination arrives, the advo-
Gates of reform are in control of

dacy will give the best assurance
of victory. If someone else

Bob Taylor Or Politics.

Politics has its lights and sEad-
ows-mostly shadows. The man
who wins at the primary earns
his honors, and may the Lord
have mercy on the man who loses.
And yet it cannot be questioned
that often the man who wins Is
the loser, and the loser is often
the winner. The winner ought to
be a good Samaritan and the loser
ought to keep his lips closed. 1t Is
hard for the man who triumphs
to repress exultation; it is diff
cult for the vanquished to conceal
his wounds. The victor alone is
worthy of praise, who knows how
to be generous. The defeated
alone deserves sympathy who
knows how to suffer in silence.
This is true not only in war but
in politics, Grant never boasted
his achievements; Lee never pa
raded his sorrows; Mckinley re-
ceived his honors without boast
ing; Bryan accepted his defeats
without complaining. 1t takes
more courage to survive the
wounds Of defeat than to grate-

Attempted Suicide.

Mrs. Sheffield, an aged lady
who is making her home with her
sister, Mrs. Barlow Jackson, in
Greenbrier township, attempted
to commit suicide Tuesday by the
use of laudanum and matches but
prompt action saved her life. A
close watch was kept over her
after the attempted suicide, but
she disappeared from her room
Sunday night and the entire
neighborhood was aroused Mon
day in an attempt to learn her
whereabouts. Constant search
was made during the morning
without result, and about noon
W. A. Fike of this city was called
upon for his bloodhound. He re-
sponded promptly with his dog
and one belonging to r. W. Ban
dy Of Newport. After a search
of a short while the old lady was
found in a thicket near her home.
She was in a stupor, but was
soon restored after being carried
to the home OF he, sister. B Ate5-

feeling something cold on his

he lost consciousness for short
while, and when he came to his

IOWA CROP BULLETIN
CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THG
STATE AS NOTED BY THE
WEATHER BUREAU.

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept s. The
week ending September was much
cooler than the preceding seven days,
but the average temperature was near
ly normal and was favorable for the
growing crops and farm operations.
The week closed with well distributed
showers which will be beneficial to
pastures, late potatoes and the belated
portion of the corn crop, especially in
portions of the central and southern
sections. The corn crop is doing nota-
bly, well in all districts, except in linn
tied areas where the rain fall was
insufficient in the latter part of Aug
ust. A large part of the crop is well
denied. Reports indicate that fully
three-fourths of the crop will be well
matured by September 20, under nor
NAL weather conditions, and all of it
will be practically safe by the Both.
Cutting operations will be begun this
week in early planted fields. AS a
whole the crop is very satisfactory.
Fall blowing is in progress where
moisture is sufficient General crop
conditions are excellent. e.

were arrested early Tuesday at Mowry
