A Clever Advertiser.

DR.. f., a physician of Montpelier,
France, was in the habit of employ
ing very ingenious artifce. When
he came to town where he was not
known he pretended to have lost his
dog and ordered the public crier to
offer with beat Of drum a reward of
25 louis to whoever should bring it
to him. The crier took care to men
ton all the titles and academic hon
ors Of the doctor as well as his place
of residence. He soon became the
talk of the town. 'Do you know"
says one, 'that a famous physician
has come here, very clever fellow :?
He must be very rich, for he offers
rs louis for finding his dog" The
dog was not found, but patients

give some of their eastern competitors
pointers on how to conduct a big
show. Harrisburg circus patrons
were surprised and bewildered.
Everything was first class, it was the
best ever seen here, in fact it was
immense. The tents were packed in

be welcome here. They are gentle

DEMOCRATS FAVOR
HIS NOMINATION FOR THE
PRESIDENCY IN 1908.
MAIN PLANks IN THE PLATFORM
DEMAND ENFORCEMENT OF ANTI
TRUST LAWS AND DECLARE
FOR TARIFF REVISION.

Milwaukee, June 2o-The platform
adopted by the Democratic state con-
vention strongly endorses William
Jennings Bryan as the Democratic
candidate for president in 1908.
Among other things the platform de-
mands enforcement of the statutes
against all trusts, combinations and
monopOlies; fayors revision of the
present tariff; the election of United
States senators by direct vote and
government control and regulation Of
all public service corporations. On
state matters the report favors a law
comforting upon municipalities power
to regulate public service corpora
tions; favors 2 cents per mile maxi
mum passenger railroad rate; taxation
on the ad valorem basis and amend
ments to the primary election law.
The plank. endorsing Bryan follows:
1--WE regard with just pride and ad-
miration the typical American who
has been journeying in foreign lands
the past year and, although only a
private citizen, with none of the allure
ments of place or power about him,
has been accorded distinguished con-
sideration and attention wherever he
has gone, solely because his course in
public and private life alike has shown
him to be patriotic citizen, wise
and farseeing statesman and thor
oughly honest and upright man, in
whom the people can safely repose
their utmost confidence. We there
fore declare that we are heartily in
favor of that typical American, Will
lam Jennings Bryan, as the Demo
cratic candidate for president in 1908
and we pledge our united efforts to
secure his nomination
When the report of the committee
was first read to the convention the
resolution referring to William J.
Bryan caused a tumult of applause,
which lasted about three minutes.
Three cheers and tiger for Bryan
were given repeatedly.

MORRIS 5, WHEATON l.

At Wheaton, every man on the
team drew at least one hit. Spooner
lead off with three, Brown and Warner
each got two, and the rest drew a
single each. The work in the field
was also high grade. Both facts indi-
cate that our. boys are fast rounding
into form, and we can expect great
things from them during July.
The game stood 0 to until the sixth.
In that inning Bicknell scored the
first run. In the seventh Meehan
worked his way around to second and
scored on Browns two bagger to left.
Rickneu scored another on a wild
throw in the eight. The game was
cinched in the last inning. Both Bailey
and Brown singled. "Bick" got to
first on a felder's choice. O'Brien
drew a pass and Bailey raced across
the rubber. LIE Sage bumpted an
easy one down, and Brown was forced
at the plate. Spooner drew single
and Bicknell scored. Carrigan and
Meehan struck out, and the side re-
tired.
Wheaton was not entitled to any
thing. but with horse shoe dangling
from his belt B. Anderson made the
circuit in the eighth on an error and
the umpire favoritism.

At Graceville, Bailey and Nelson

while Nelson allowed five.
Both scores were made on errors.
Graceville's came in the third. Va
lancey was hit by the ball, Nelson hit
to left, Johnnies flew out to Bailey.
With Valancey on third and Nelson
on first, Warner threw to Spooner at
second, putting Nelson out. SpooAer
returned the throw to the plate TO
catch Valancey, but the big fellow
knocked the ball out of Warmers
hands and was safe.
In the sixth Morris tied the score.
Warner landed on the pill for clean
hit to left. He stole second went TO
third and home when Valancey threw
wild to catch him at third.

DARK STORIES OF WHITE.
Bad Reputation Given the Victim or
Harry ThaW.

New York, June 29.-Sinister re-
ports have reached the police of the
life and conduct of Stanford White
during a period of years past. They
indicate that the noted architect and
clubman stopped to strange and un-
usual practices. They spell story
which might better have occurred in
the Neuronian period of the Roman
empire.
The police know beyond any shadow
of doubt that White had paid ardent
devotion to at least a score of beau
tiful girls still in their early teens;
that he had clothed them in costly
raiment, had showered Jewels and
money upon them with d prCdigailty
that stopped atnnothing for the accom-
plishment of the mans purpose. The
police declare that Stanford White
knew these maidens for no good pur~
pose; that he and several other noted
men have made practice for years OF
devoting hours Of every day and I'M
mense sums for the sinister gratif1ca-
tiOn of their desires.

ROAD DRAG IN ACTION.

[This drag is made of plank. The split log
is generally considered preferable.]
sun and wind act on this moist coat
ing it hardens. Then the constant
tamping by horses and the wheels of
vehicles beats it down as compactly
as the dry mud balls which the boys
make of clay and use in their slung-
shots. The next dragging places an
other layer of mud over the surface OF
the road to be firmed in the same man
ner. This is repeated so often that
the road finally acquires a hide or
shield which is almost impervious to
rain, shedding water like metal roof
After two or three years it will re-
main hard and smooth throughout the
year, and drivers can go at rapid
clip over it any time except when COW
cred with Ice. The bottom never falls
out of It, Vehicles and wagons can
not cut grooves into it. Being smooth
all over, travelling is distributed over
the entire surface. Two or three bug
gies, for example, can travel 1t side Dy
side. The road is of course higher at
the middle than at either side. At the
start it may be lower In the center
than at the sides, though most roads
on which the common four horse grad
ers have been used are slightly eleyat-
ed in the middle. The drag Is made
so that it will work up an elevation in
the center. Four or five dragglngs
will establish the oval characteristic in
almost any road.
