the habit OF carrying a considerable
sum OF money.
Tho detectives got on his trail
through a conductor OF tho Erie Hail
road. who recognized a picture shown
him as that OF a young Japanese who.
by his eccentric actions. had excited
considerable attention on the train in
which he travelled as far as Fairfield.
At Fairfield the proprietor OF a smaIl
hotel told OF a man who seemed craEel,

down the railroad rack. He seemed
to have no very clear idea OF where

him. although 1t is admitted that he
did not seem responsible for his actions.

EDITOR BUTLER TINES: WELCOME
the arrival OF The TINES, for Ii Is
like getting a letter from home, old
friends and associates that live in

Spring is here In all Of Its glory.
Everything Is in It's dress OF green,
garden sass Is plentiful now and
chickens will soon be large enough
to fry. Some have been eating new
potatoes, wheat and oats are head

The inrmers are wellsloDg wish their
work. Recent rains have kept the
farmers ont of their crops and the
weeds are getting good start.
We have had plenty OF rain this
spring Everything looks favorable
Tor good crops this year. Corn gen.
orally ia knee high, broom corn is

but the weeds are ahead OF oil.
Peach trees are heavy laden with
peacher; there will be q fair crop OF
nectarines, some prunes, grapes, cur
rents and plums to a finish.
Itook trip to Kansas City and
to Butler and Pleasant Gap, 1 saw
a great many Of my old neighbors
and friends bus she country did
not look like 1t used to. A great
many changes have taken place
there as we'll as here. ! came back
home feeling like there is no place
like Dewey county, Oklahoma, now
about she most picturesque county
in the United States. Being neither
all fat farming land nor all rugged
mountains, but q mixture OF both,
the rapidly growing fields OF green
lend color to the picture while tho
hills and dales and stresks OF rivers
give variety. Surely an artist in
love with nature would find abun-
dsnt inspiration there. The pros
pect for q bountiiul harvest was
never better any where.

New York as Well as
Missouri For Bryan.

"Blg Tim" Sullivan Of New York,
himself leader, while entertaining
q lot Of friends at Hot Springs, Ark ,
a day or two ago, came outstrongly
for W. ]. Bryan Of Nebraska as the
leading Democrat OF the nation and
the most likely Democratic csndi-
date for president In 1908. More
over, be gave the most positive as
sursnce that Rlclard Croker and
Tsmmany would line up TO man
for the nomination OF Bryan In 1908.
Sullivan is not a new convert to
che Brysn propaganda. When the
leaders OF the New York Democracy
were denouncing MIR. Bryan, Sullivan
predicted that within a Jew years
they would be singing on the other
eide OF their mouths.
He has been telling with great glte
Of bis prophecies.
"Yes sir" said Mr.. Sullivan,
"Brysn will be the nextnominee and
the next President OF the United
States. New York will 60 into the
convention with solid Bryan dele
cation, and Mr.. Croaker will head IL.
AFTER she last National Conven'
ton, Mr.. Croker declared that il he
ever went to another Democratic
Nationsl Convention he wanted to
be able to cast vote Tor Bryan,
and this time he will get the chance.
"The railroad, insurance, beei
trust and other scandals have open.
cd our eyes regarding Bryan. The
fellows who told US down In New
York that he was a demagogue are
she fellows who are now lodging.
The people are just getting on to
the fact that Bryan was telling the
truth. The men who tried to give
him a tough reputation have got
all they can do now to protect their
own.
"Six years ago we used to look up
these fellows and pay attention to
what they said, but they can't get
an audience to-day. They did the
speech-m aking, and, more than that,
they raised the money 10 beat
Bryan. But they would have hard
times getting anything In the way
OF campaign contributions right
now.
There 10 another. thing to be
taken into consideration. Did It
ever occur to you that Bryan is to.
day the most conservative man OF
force and character in the United
States2 We thought he was pretty
wild when he was talking about free
and unlimited coinage, but II he was
q demsgogue, what have you got to
say ab out the fellows who are play.
Ing to the galleries nowadays?
while lot Of people have been
running wild because OF scandals in
public affairs, Bryan has not lost
his head. He still stands for the
constitution, and when you get to
talking about safe, sane and conser-
vative candidates you have to admit
that he Is about the safest and
sanest Of the coming crop"
