bRYAN'S BIG FIGHT ON
SULLIVAN IN ILLINOIS

Bryan.
| The contest was taken before
subcommittee of the national COM
mittee and there the contestants
were turned down. Then it went
before the entire committee fand
was again turned down. The CON,
vention's committee on credentials
with but one opposing vote, decid-
ed that the contestants had no
standing in the convention. Some
time after the hearing before this
committee closed, Bryan secured
the proxy of the Nebraska men,
Der of the committee and, before
the convention, made a minority
report demanding the unseating OF
20 Of the regular delegates sand
substituting a like number of .the
contestants.
1t was then that Bryan made his
famous speech, lasting an hour and
half, in which he said, 1.-THE evi-
dence shows that no band of train
lODDcIs ever ulOTo uol1D6TdIely
planned to rob a train than these
men planned to rob the democratic
voters of Illinois,"
But in spite of Bryan's impas-
stoned speech the convention up
held the regular delegates by a
vote of CAT to 299, Illinois not vot-
ing. The Illinois delegation there
upon elected Roger c. Sullivan ma
tional committeeman by a vote of
40 to 5.
A year ago there was organized
in Illinois the Democratic Majority
Rule league. 1t is composed of the
enemies Of Sullivan and it's presi-
dent is Millard Fillmore Dunlap,
one of the contrasting delegation in
1904, a boyhood friend of BRYAN
and an inveterate enemy of Sulli-
van.

Join THIS CLUB
AND GET AN
AFFINITY

And now it's the young men who
are holding their heads high and
acting in peculiar manner. The
girls wonder what's the trouble.
They're the trouble! When a lot
of sweet and shy ones betwixt II
and 10 begin to figure on forming
an organization called the Single
Blessedness club" there's sure to
be something doing with the young
men. And there is something do
ing this time in the form of an
Affinity club" The young man
who was mentioned the other day
as the one who unearthed the ex-
istence of the "Singleness" club is
the prime mover in the Affinity"
organization and he's moving rap
idly, too, and enlisting all the
young men possible. His scheme
Is designed as an antidote to the
single blessedness" movement.
He says that the birds of the air
have their mates and are matched
according TO nature, but man, with
all his boosted intelligence, his art
and science and wealth, has never
found the secret of invariably find
ing wife with whom he can live
happily the remainder of his life.
The Affinity club intends that
the divorce law shall die of ennui.
1t will die, too, even if the Affinity
club didn't organize with the
Blessedness club in existence.
However, it's going to be an inter-
esting trial between the Affinity
and the Single BIessedness clubs.
This town is a regular bee hive
or bachelors-male and female.
They're all afraid to marry, not
because they're opposed to mar
rage as an institution but because
they fear they'll not marry right.
The Affinity club is going to make
a special study of mating people
and sort of thin out the depart
ment stores and put girls at a
premium for the storekeepers.
The Affinity club intends that
some of these young ladies who 20
around with peek-a-boo waists,
made of about two yards of stuff
and who cause confagration in
young mems bosoms and cause
them to go and have a lonesome,
lonesome drink, shall get married
instanter.
The Spokane chamber of com.
merce will be asked to take the
matter up and at the Interstate fair
this fall public marriage may be
celebrated just to sort of show the
shy ones how easy it is to ge,
hitched up. But the management
OF the fair won't illustrate how
easy II Is to get unhitched. It's
easy enough, too, unless you be
long to a class that don't favor
divorce, and then it's a lifelon,
state of unhappiness If you haven
found your affinity"

Hat Ouilis the Rage.

Quilts and eagles feathers protrude
SO persistently from all the new hats
that the never-endlng question: of how
to place and fasten them results. Put
them outside of the brim in every case
where the hat is shaped SO that you
can, and conceal the edges from under
large straw buckle or Hat rosette Of
velvet ribbon. The ribbon i laid on
tiny pleats or gathers, the inner end
being curved around like straw
crown. and the quill coming out
through it.
Or, another way: Sew the quilts to
the side of the upturned brim, draw
your velvet ribbon from around the
crown across them, and lay over this
circle Of gathered velvet ribbon, let
ting 1t form buckle holding the other
ribbon down. "A third way was seen
in a narrow, AIpine-shaped hat, in
which two quilts We're pointed back
ward from each side Of the crown. A
band Of red velvet was set over the
crown and three circular buckles made
OF red beads were placed over 1t along
. the front, the quills being thrust under
the two end ones.

Al dainty blouse that is prettiIy
trimmed with lace or other banding
fills SO many needs that it may fairly
be considered a necessity. This one is
made of Persian lawn with trimming
of German Valenciennes lace and is
unlined. The model is an adaptable
one, however, and would be effective in
any of the thin, soft silks or light
weight woods that are made in lingerie
style, as well as washable materials.
while in addition to the lawn are
great many other cotton and linen
fabrics that will be found available.
When silk or wool is used the lining,
which is made soft in blouse style, will
be found desirable. The German Va
lenciennes lace is one of the most fash
ionable as well as the most desirable
of all trimmings but there are great
many other landings, and every sort
of lace is fashionable this season, so
that there is every opportunity for the
exercise of individual taste and prefer
ence.
The blouse is made with the front
and the backs. Fine tucks are laid
at the shoulder edges and the trim
ming is arranged on indicated lines,
the closing being made invisibly at the
back. The sleeves allow a choice OF
the popular elbow or full length. and
the lining can be used or omitted as
material renders desirable.

INDIANS WIN $4,ooO,ooO
Government Must Pay Tor Removal
of the Cherokees.
Fifty Thousand Redmen Benefit BY
Largest Private Claim Ever Allowed
Against tho United states.

Washington, D. C.-Tae responsible
lty for the payment of the expenses
Of the removal of the Cherokee Indi-
ans from the Eastern States to the In
dian Territory, more than half a cen
fury ago, has been decided by the SUI
preme Court of the United States to
rest with the Government. BY this
decision the largest private claim ever
allowed against the United States
Government was awarded. 1t will dis
tribute $4589, 588 among the Eastern
Cherokees, who number about $4,000
persons. Nearly all of this money
will go to residents Of Indian Terri

The opinion was handed down by
Chief Justice Fuller and affirmed the

was improperly done. The question

of Claims was in favor Of the Chero.

and called for the payment of about
100000. The case has received
much attention from Congress and in
the courts
The modification in the decision of
the Court of Claims, which was made
by the Supreme Court. consisted in
cutting out the old settlers or Western
Cherokees, thus giving the entire sum
awarded to the Eastern CherOkees,
who did not remove from their homes
in North Carolina, Georgia and Ten
nessee until 1888. Robert l.. Owen,
who is an Indian and represented the
Eastern Cherokees, said that origin
ally there were about sixteen thousand
of them, but that their descendants
number about fifty thousand The
award will be divided among them
after expenses are paid.
The original claim was for SILL
284, but the award carries an allow
ance of interest since 1888. The money
used in the removal was part of fund
growing out of the sale of the Eastern
lands of the Indians and held i'll
trust for them. The Government es-
pecially resisted the allowance of In
terest, but it was overruled. The old
settlers were cut out because the court
found that they had heretofore been
fully reimbursed for their share of the
expenditures from the trust funds. The
decision provides for per capita pay
ment to the Cherokees who remain in
North Carolina, Tennessee and other
Southern States. There are about six
thousand of them. They asked for one
fourth of the entire award.
Mr.. Owens will receive fee of if
teen per cent of the award, the larg
est ever allowed in a Supreme Court
case.

There were perhaps 100000 persons
on the streets in the character of mani

purpose on the part of the mob, and
curiosity was the principal motive for
