A number of our people took ad'
vantage Of the opportunity to hear
Hon. W. J. Bryan at Cape Girar-

about fifty minutes and what he
said during that space of time was,

convert him to democracy. He
spoke in very plain language and
also distinctly and impressively.

worked wonders because it had in
creased the republican vote on
Roosevelt 1857. They are trying to
create enthusiasm fora management
which was victorious because $3.50
democrats in the state stayed at
home two years ago. Was that any

the state in 1894, when 1900 demo-

gets through rafting through Mis-
souri, this time every democrat will
come out of the brush where they
went two years ago, when Parker
was nominated, and they will show
up the wonderful organization work
of the Niedringhaus outfit. They
can't stand prosperity; they are
making too much noise and stirring
up the brushes. Both committees
are doing oil they can to get out
the full democratic vote, and from
the present appearance of things
think they'll succeed. The Good

FOR BRIBERY.
Wisconsin Secretary of
State is On Trial
Charged With Trying
to Corrupt an Insur-
ance Man.

Madison, Wis, July 4.-Before jul
ry in the Municipal court of Dane
county, Walter L. Houser, secretary
of state, is on trial charged with Of
fering TO Commissioner of Insurance
Zeno M. Host, a bribe in the form of
a promise that the Equitable Life As
surance Society would give a contri-
button of $4,000 to the Republican
campaign fund if Commissioner Host
would render a decision in the sur
plus distribution case favorable to the
Equitable.
The newest developed thus far in
the trial is that Attorney General
Sturdevant is expected rto go upon the
witness stand and deny the truth of
the statement of the complaining wit
ness to the effect that Commissioner
Host told the attorney general that
MIR. Houser had attempted to bribe
him. If this is done it will prove a
most interesting bit of record in the
case. Another development was
the rumor that Bob" Luscombe, the
agent of the Equitable, supposed to
be the man who came to Madison
with the alleged bribe for Commis-
sioner Host, and who, according to
Host, asked Mr.. Houser to hand a
typewriter statement of a form of a
decision to the commissioner Is here
and will testify for the defense
The prosecution outlined it's case as
followed in the preliminary examin-
alton, declaring that it would be prov
ed that Secretary of State Houser, on
the morning of June 16, 1903, went to
the Office of Commissioner Host, told
him if he (Host) would make deei-
sion in the Equitable surplus distribu-
tion case, then pending before Host,
that the Equitable would give $4,000
to the campaign fund to secure the re-
nomination of the then Republican
state officials. The defense, outlined
to the jury by. Attorney Jones, declar-
ed that the defendant would go upon
the witness stand on his own behalf
and deny the charges that Commits
sioner Host had seen fit TO bring
against him.

alarming proportions. According to
a report just compiled by the bureau
OF immigration. there were 247 Chin

May. 1906, as compared with 1873 dur
ing the preceding May. It is shown
that 80 came with certificates from

The gambling houses of French
Lick, Ind, resort of Thomas Taggart,
chairman of the National Democratic
committee, were raided on Tuesday af-
ternoon. Taggart claims that the raid
was made at the instigation of the
Republican governor of that state
solely for political purposes, and that
other gambling 'institutions through
out Indiana are running wide open
without any interference whatever on
the part Of the governor While this
statement of Taggart may be true, it
is no reason why Taggart should be
allowed to violate the law, as a rogue
and lawbreaker are the same no mat
ter whether he wears a Democratic
or Republican oyercoat.

!. OPEN AIR
Treatment for INDECENT
Consumptives to Be
Used in Columbus Be-
ginning Monday.

Columbus, O., July A day camp
for the treatment of INDECENT con-
sumptives will be opened next Mon
day under the auspices of the local
society, composed of leading citizens
including business men, manufactur-
ers, and physicians, who are pushing
the movement for the eradication of
this disease. A beautiful location has
been chosen for the camp. It is a
shaded grove in valley through
which a stream of water flows in the
northern part of the city. The camp
will be maintained throughout the
summer. Patients will be received
under two conditions: They must
have consumption, and they must be
poor They will be given the same
kind of treatment they would receive
in q sanitarium. Trained nurses and
physicians will be In charge and each
patient will be under the same Tegu-
lations as in hospital. Ihe camp
will be open from O'Clock in the
morning to at night. At 10 O'Clock
Ia light luncheon of the best bread,
butter and milk will be served and at
noon there will be dinner of every
thing tempting to the appetite. An
other luncheon will be served later
in the day. The most nourishlng and
Strengthening foods will be used.
Some of the patients have erected
tents of their own on the grounds
and have received permission to re-
main in them over night. DR.. C. o.
PTobst, secretary of the state board
of health is actively connected with
the movement. He has great faith
in the efficacy of open air treatment OF
consumption and was a member of
the committee appointed to establish
the camp. 1t is the second of the
kind to be opened in the United
States. The first was established at
Boston a year ago. BY next year the
local society hopes to be able to keep
the patients in the camp day and
night. The surroundings will be
made as attractive as possible and
everything will be provided to make
the patients cheerful and comforta-
