Gov. Folk introduced his speech as
follows:
What we say here may count for
little; our words may be of only pass
ing moment and soon forgotten. But
those ideals that bring us here will
live when those present at this assem-
bly, shall have passed away. We come
not of ourselves alone to welcome
home the distinguished American in
whose honor we gather, but to voice
the love and faith of millions in the
great leader who has again set foot
upon his native land-millions who
love him because his hands are clean,
his heart is pure. and his soul has not
been touched nor tainted with the
scars of unearned gold. Nor in him
alone do we place our trust, nor in
aught that is human but rather In
those eternal truths which he has
loved and served So well.
When Mr.. Bryan entered the hall
the proceedings which had already be-
gun were brought to temporary
pause while for 8 minutes volley after
volley of thunderQus cheering rolled
through the great building. Whes

the guest Of the evening as the first
citizen if not the first official of the
land-not yet the first official" and
Mr.. Bryan rose, the great gathering
broke out in unrestrained cheering,
while the band played Hail to the
Chief"
So touched was Mr.. Bryan by the
welcome that as he stood waiting for
the cheers to subside his eyes filled
with tears and he strobe nervously
from side to side of the narrow plat
form.

ception. 1t was kind Of Governor Folk

Mr.. Bryan's speech was a clear-cus
outline of his ideas as to what the
democratic policy should be. The ell.

of the trusts by the government;

Osawatomie, Kan, Aug. 31.-TlurE-
day morning dawned clear and fine,
and by the time the sun peeped over
the trees along the Maries des Cygne,
the roads leading into the city were
crowded with teams.
BY o'clock it was estimated that
5000 people had arrived. Even as late
as IL o'clock wagons and carriages
were yet arriving, many people having
driven 25 to 30 miles. At noon he
crowd was estimated by many at -
600. The largest number Of persons
ever gathered in the history of Miami
county heard Mr.. Fairbanks, Senator'S
Benson and Long and Governor Hoch
speak from the platform at the picnic
grounds Thursday afternoon.
Mr.. Fairbanks was well received,
and when he started for the carriage
that was to carry him back to his
train, his way was blocked by the
hundreds who wanted a chance TO
shake his hand.
A visit was paid to the old John
Brown cabin a short distance from
the town, and the remainder of the
time was devoted to speaking. Vice
President Fairbanks was much inter-
ested in the John Brown cabin and
the interesting relics of Brown about
the town and county. He examined
the old cabin carefully and asked a
number of questions about the Ia
nous Brown from survivors.
The vice president addressed the peo-
pei at the battle-ground at 2 p m, fol-
lowed by Senators Long and Benson.

A GREAT JUBILEE.
Vice President Fairbanks Addressed
aLarge Gathering at Osawatomie's
emi-CentenniaI Celebration.
OTHER SPEAKERS THERE.
Much Historical Interest Surrounds
the John Brown Battlefield
Visitors Inspect the Pio-
neer's Cabin.

Osawatomie, Kan, Aug. 3l.-The
first day of the semi-centennial cele-
bration of the battle of Osawatomie
has been more than was anticipated
by the people of this historic old
town. The celebration opened with
the blowing of whistles and ringing
of all bells, including the immense
Missouri Pacific shop whistle and the
screech of dozens of locomotives, ac-
companied by the firing of a salute
and flag-raising at the battle-ground,
while choir of so voices sang the
Star Spangled Banner" and Troops
B and c of the Ninth cavalry stood
at attention.
The crowd then marched to the au-
ditorium on the battlefield, where was
served the great barbecue, which con-
sisted of five beevs, roasted by eX-
slaves in the old-fashioned way; five
barrels of coffee; 1000 loaves of bread,
and five barrels of pickles. After
dinner the vast assemblage was ad-
dressed by Congressman Charles F.
Scott. of lola, VINO spoke for two hours
on the early days of Kansas, ofathe
border troubles, and of John Brown
and the battle of Osawatomie. His
address avoided any reference to pol
itics or partisan feeling. So great
was the audience that hundreds of
people could not get within sound of
his voice. The remainder of the af-
ternoon was occupied by old settlers
in relating experiences of the hard
ships encountered by the pioneers
back in the SOS. This meeting was
presided over by Judge E. H. Wilson,
OF Paola, who was born within a mile
OF the battlefield two months before
that struggle occurred. At the close
the old settlers gathered together and
were photographed.

THE NEWS IN RHYME.

'Battle-Axe," the "poet-correspond
ent" of the Henderson (Neb) Tribune
wrote his news in rhyme again last
week. He said:
Henry Jones last Friday night
Got half-shot and had a fight.
He was pasted in the eye,
He'll declare this a lie,
For his teeth are on the bum.
Tuesday he'll see the Dentist Beggs,
Who pulls teeth and also legs.
Staying at home is Grandpa Strobe,
Polecat met him in the road.
Bailey Johnson bet on FitZ,
Lost a dollar and six bits.
Lost it all to Jerry Nance,
Said he'd like to kick Fits pants.
Wilson's goat got loose last week,
Rammed the parson, good and meek;
Parson then and there forgot,
Said that goat should be shot"
Christmas in the very air,
We expect to get our share,
G Sndma Pate choked on a bean,
Twas a sight you should have seen.
DR.. Betson soon was near,
Beans kept as a souvenir.
Man here says that we write rot
He don't know an awful lot.
One of those loud, boozing gents,
Looks to us like thirty cents.
John Linn's dogs have got the mango,
Johns not caught it, which is strange.
Those two hounds are cracker-jacks.
Well, so long. Yours

A SPLENDID YEAR. OUR BIG SCHOOLS
CAPACITY OF THE COLUMBIA
MILITARY ACADEMY TAXED
TO THE UTMOST.

The Columbia Military Academy has
grown to such an extent that It has
strained its dormitory capacity to it's
fullest extent. Every room in the
dormitory is now occupied except one
and that will be by the middle of this
week. Fifteen boys have arrived since
the first of January and two more will
arrive hrs week from Mt. Pleasant.
To give the people Of Columbia and
Maury county some idea of what a
magnificent school property we have
here in our imdst we will cite a lite
incident that happened a few lays
since. Profs. Hardy and Edgerton re-
ceived letter from a gentleman in
Georgia the first of the year saying he
bad two SONS aad that he was c.lni rc

part of the country aid that he was so

rived at Columbia and looked over the
grounds and saw the benefits his boys
would derive here, he decided without
any hesitancy that this was the place

The Columbia Institute also added
i've more young ladies' to it's roll the

A CARD FROM DR.. R. LIN CAVE.

Sundays American contained the
following card from DR.. r. Lin Cave
and explanation from Senator Car
mack:
Having received from different parts
of the State letters of inquiry, and
having been repeatedly asked about a
discussion between Senator E. w. Car
mack and myself on the prohibition
amendment in 1887, / feel that it is
my duty to all concerned to make a
public statement in regard to it. l
am unwilling for it to be unjustly
used against him. While / have spok-
en- of it as a joint debate, the facts
as / now can best recall them are as
follows
Sometime during the campaign l
spoke in Giles county, l think it was.
There were several others who also
spoke-Col. Robert Haywood, Hon. Y.
w. Ewing and Judge A. L. Demoss.
My recollection is that l spoke first,
and in the forenoon, and Senator Car
mack in the afternoon. He spoke
against the amendment, having spok-
en- for it. He says he got there late
and did not hear my speech, nor did
he know / was to be there. His
speech was not in any way abusive or
offensive. 1t is well known to many
that l am a friend and supporter of
Senator Carmack for reelection.

ENGLISH NAM ES.

Puzzling enough to an American is
the English fashion of spelling
name in one way and pronouncing it
in quite another, but the cities are
even worse than the individuals.
since they deliberately adopt some
alias. The town of Hull, for instance,
is Kingston-on-Hull. 1t has no Of
fetal recognition as anything else,
yet as Hull it is known to nine out of
ten, who would wonder If Kingston
on-Hull was near the town of HuA
should they hear it mentioned. Even
supposedly respectable cathedral
towns are not above hiding their
identity, and to call New Sarum
Salisbury" is to give it its alias.
The royal town of Windsor is really
New Windsor, and the county ofHamp-
shire, popularity shortened to Hants,
is in reality the county of South
ampton. carbohydrates is
more correctly Morecambe, but
rightly Poulton lie Sande, while
Birdlington, sometimes called Burling-
ton, is more popularity Wakefield-by-
the-Sea.

STOCK MUST BE IN
CREASED.

Columbia is certainly growing and
every day some new fact arises to
prove her prosperous condition.
On July 18th. 1905, the ncClanahan
Harness & Collar Co. was reorganized
and the capital stock increased from
$4,000 to $4,000. Since that date the
company has accumulated net earn
ings OF $4,215.7S, and at the annual
meeting Saturday was able to declare
a dividend of per cent. and place the
sum of s1,S15.7S to surplus. The pro-
duct is now sold in seventeen States
and Territories and so great is the de-
mand for Columbia made harness and
collars that the entire output is sold
up to May LIST, and many other orders
have been turned down.
Realizing the necessity of Keeping
abreast of the times and caring for a
steadily increasing trade the stock
holders voted Saturday to increase the
capital stock to $4,000, and add other
and facilities

QUEER FRANKS
OF THE WEATHER-BLoWINe
HOT AND COLD.

/ WASHINGTON. Jan. PA colo
wave from the West is crowding yes
terday's record-breaking warm wave
and by tomorrow, according 20 the
weather officials, there will be cooling
rains on the Atlantic Coast and snow
or rain in the Ohio Valley and the low
er lake country.
Because of the high pressure over
the Atlantic Ocean the cold waves
progress is slow, but the present Off
cial calculations figure on possible
snow Wednesday in the Middle At
lantic States and the Northeast, and
snow in the lower lake region and the
upper Ohio Valley.
Despite the cold wave headed this
way and the severe storm in Chicago
and the SHOWS falling there tonight
and in various places as far south as
Vicksburg, Miss, it was even warmer
today than yesterday in some sections
of the East. In this city today the
maximum temperature was II degrees,
as against GO yesterday, and in the
OHIO Valley the temperature reached
"A degrees, about the same as yester-
day. The cold wave, however, over
spread the lower Missouri Valley;
cold, clear weather prevailed today in
the West; and it will be colder in the
Coast regions generally We'd
nesday.
A second cause that is contributing
to the decline of the warm wave is |
the fact that heavy and general rain
has fallen over the regions of high |
In the East Gulf States the rain was |
attended by thunder storms of the u.s.
lal summer type. Storm warnings

DIGGING FOR METEORITE-
STRUCK EARTH YEARS AGO.
A Wonderful Project Going On lr
DiabIo Canyon, Arkansas.

Holbrook Correspondent Boston Tran
script:
A remarkable mining project is be
ing carried out near Diablo canyon, in
this territory, by the Standard Iron
Company of New York The object
of the company is to unearth and
smelt a gigantic meteor which lies
buried there. This meteor probably
struck earth many years ago. The In
dams who inhabit that region have no
legion of the wonderful event. The To-
cation of the meteor is marked by a
wonderful hole in the earth three
fourths of a mile long and 600 feet
deep. The surrounding country for
radius of several miles is covered
by the fragments of this heavenly Wis
itor They have furnished much inter
esting material for Investigations by
mineralogists. Some of the fragments
weighed many tons and brought rich
returns of silver, gold and lead when
shipped to the smelter. All of the
fragments that have been analysed run
high in lead, silver and gold. This re-
markable mineral property was ac-
quired more than a year ago by the
Standard Iron Company, which began
the work to locate the meteor by
means of a shaft which it is sinking
from the bottom OF the great hole.
This shaft has reached a depth of
more than 400 feet, or more than 1000
feet from the original earths surface.
The size of the meteor has been care
fully calculated by scientific experts,
who take as abasis the size of the
whole which it made in the earth. 1t
is estimated that the gold, silver and
lead which the meteor contains will
amount to $13,0O0,O00. 1t is believed
that the shaft will strike the meteor
at about $4,000 feet.
In former days many mining pros
pectors gained a good livelihood by
collecting and shipping the fragments
of the meteor to the smelter. These
fragments had a market value of 81
a pound in Holbrook. The Indians
brought in large quantities of the min
eral in the days before the railroad
