American citizen. The news that the
steamer bringing Mr.. Bryan had been
sighted of Fire Island just before
noon and that she would be at anchor
for immediate inspection by 3 o'clock
was the signal for wild rush of sew
eral chartered boats and pleasure
craft down the harbOr The lowering
skies and frequent rain squalls served
to keep many away. but those who
were not deferred by adverse weather
gave an enthusiastic spirit to the re
ceptiOn which was apparently deeply
appreciated.
"HOme Folks" Go Wild.
"Bryan's Nebraska home folks
were the most enthusiastic of all. Oh
two big tug boats which journeyed
down the bay side by side they went
to welcome their distinguished neigh
bor.
With tumultuous cheers they pulled
up alongside the after gangway of the
big steamer and called their greetings
to Mr.. Bryan, who stood on the deck
just above them and smiled and waved
his hat. Bic boxes Of flowers were
tossed on board for Mrs. Bryan. Then
the Nebraska state flag was flung 90
the breeze and the cheering was re-
newed. Songs were sung and tn
cheering was taken up time and time
again while Mr.. Bryan was going
through the necessary formalities If
the customs inspection law.
When the baggage had been passe /
and Mr.. Bryan was ready to descend
to the Nebraskan's tugs. there were
another outburst of enthusiasm,
which was taken up with will this
time by those on the crowded deck,
of the Princess Irene. Cabin and sec
ond class passengers lined the rails.
cheering and waving hats and hand
kerchiefs as their noted fellow VOy-
ager disappeared over the side Hud-
died forward on the decks OF the
steamer were more than a thousand
immigrants, gathered from every cor
ner of Europe! The unusual scenes
attending their landing I'm their new
home must have made deep impress
sion upon the keenly interested Tor
eigners.
As he set foot on the tug, Mr.. Bty.
an was fairly mobbed by the NebrlV
kans, who had as guests many mem
bers from other sections of the stat =.
Each was anxious to be the first to
shake hands with the home-comer,
who warmly returned every word OF
greeting. All seemed to he old friends
and many We're called by their first
names or some given name, the mem
ory of which had lasted from boy
| hood days.
All this time the whistles on the
craft which swarmed about the Prin-
cess Irene We're footing madly. Flags
We're dipping everywhere. and from
the shores small craft put out in null
tiplying numbers.
Mr.. Bryan was called upon for Z
speech by the NebraslIans, but he con-
fined himself to telling them, in q
purely personal vein. how happy
he was to be home again and what n
delight and surprise it had been q
him to find so many of his "home
| folks" on hand to greet him.
After being on the tugs more tha''
| half an hour Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan were
! transferred to the Illini and taken L
the landing, where they went ashoct
to spend the night at the home of Mr.
| Nixon.

gress for passage, thus establishing a
general law on divorce and annull-

While this question has nothing to
do with the American Bar association
they are so many members of the
committee on resolution of the divorce
congress. who are attending the meet
ing of the association that a meeting
was held for the purpose Of going over
and revising any Objectionable feat
ures. When the subcommittee has
finished the statute It will be presented
to the full commission which will
meet Saturday and then the bill will
probably be approved for submission
ito the congress at Philadelphia.
The subcommittee had before it a
printed draft of the proposed bill and
took each article and discussed II sec-
ton by section. The most importa At
change made I'm the proposed law was
establishing the age of consent when
either male or female may legally en-
ter the marriage relation, at 16 years
for the female and Is years for tn +,
male.

Roswell, n. NJ, Aug. 27.-Nictor
and Tom Simpson, brothers, of Elida,
~ M, small village a short dis
tance from here. were found dead in
their wagon near Kenna Monday,
their four mules lying dead around
them. All had been killed by light
ming. 1t was a most unusual and
none the less ghastly freak of some
passing electrical storm, and one that
it has been most difficult to account
for. The condition of the bodies of
both men and animals, points to
lightning as the only possible cause
of the tragedy. The sheriff's office
and the numerous people who have
viewed the bodies thave tried i'm every
way to evolve some other theory, but
although no electrical storms have
been noticed in this part of the valley
for some days, there can be no other
way to account for the two men and
their team of four mules being strick-
en- in their tracks as they made their
way homeward. The bodies have
been positively identified as those Of
the brothers. Victor and Tom Simpson.

Thursday after a load of supplies.
They left here Friday morning with

Riders Discover the Bodies. y
1t was late Sunday evening when
J. $. Merscham, with seven compan-
ions, riding across country from Por-

wagon by the roadside. The riders
hallooed, but there was no answer
and riding closer they were aston
ished to see the four mules lying
dead in the harness. Riding close to
the wagon Merscham looked under
the cover and there, on the front
seat, he saw Il sight which made his
, blood run cold.
Sitting upright in the seat. leaning
slightly against each other were two
men, the eyeballs rolled back, the
/ mouths dropped open. decomposition
! beginning to show on both of the
! faces. Without waiting for a fur
ther investigation Merscham and his
companions spurred up their horses
and rode to Roswell where they noti-
! ned the officers of their discovery.
| The sheriff and a posse went to the
scene at once and the bodies were
brought here where they were
| promptly identified
/ No Marks on Wagon.
While the faces and bodies of the
men, as well as the mules. show
marks of the passage of the electric
current, curious feature of the mat
ter Is that there is no mark of any
KIND on harness or wagon to show
the work of the lightning
Another curious feature is that 20
one can be found who saw any indi-
cation OF an electric storm in this
| vicinity between Thursday and sun
day evenings.

TENNIS CHAMPION GETS

Newport. r. l., Aug 29.-The ease
with which w. ]. Clothier won the
national lawn tennis championship
from Reals G.. Wright, of Boston, last
years title holder. on the Casino
courts today, was one of the surprises
of the tennis year.
victory for Wright or at least 4
hard fought contest was anticipated,
but that Clothier should win in
straight sets. G-3, SO, Ga. was beyond
the calculations of even the closest
followers of the sports. Wright's play
ing was so per cent below the form
shown on the same court last year
when he won the title from HolcOmb
Ward ON the other hand. Clothier
displayed well-balanced game, cara-
fully planned and skillfully executed.
