A Case of ~SomnambuliSm.

A most peculiar case of sonam-

passenger train was nearing this
place, a young man, about IS.
who was in the company of his
mother, both being on their way
to Texas, he suddenly arose in
his seat and plunged head-first
out of the window. The train
was stopped and he was gath
cred in, a little skinned up, but
not otherwise injured. After a
stOpover here between trains he
and his parent proceeded on
their way to the Lone Star State.

BRYAN CERTAIN OF NOMINA-
TON.

Thursday tho greatest ovation
ever given a private citizen was
given William J.. Bryan at New
York upon his return from a tour
of the world. The ovation was
in the nature of a great political
demonstration and was partici
pated in by Democrats from
practically all parts of the union.
At night a thrOng Of 10000 vel
Corners greeted him at Madison
Square Garden, where he de
livered a strong, frank and
splendid address, placing his
views plainly and unequivOcaly
before the people. Mr.. Bryan is
still the radical he has been
charged with being; travel
abroad has not changed his views
as to the policies he thinks will
best subserve the interests of
the people. And nOtwithstand-
ing the chance to hedge" to win
the appreciation of the safe and
sane" crowd for the presidency,
he has come out squarely for what
he sincerely believes, please or
no please, and he has the people
with him, because they believe
in sincerity and consistency.
That Bryan will get the nomina-
ton seems certain and his
chance of election is excellent.

Editorial 1--WE"

Rural Exchange.
Somebody who wants to ex-
plain what the editorial We
signifies, says it's meaning varies
to suit the circumstance. For
instance, when you read that
we expect our wife home to-
day." we refer to the editor-in-
chief; when it's I'VE are a little
late with our work." it includes
the whole Office force. even the
devil and the towel. If I'VE are
having a boum." the town is
meant. I'VE received over 7OO,-
600 emigrants last year. it en-
braces the Nation; but I'VE have

who takes the paper two or three
years without paying for it.

weather at this time will not be
conducive to it's active growth.
There seems to be no other
special feature to report concern
ing the situation. and it now
seems to be generally admitted
that the crop will be below the
normal in size. Let US hope that
it will be full of sugar so that this

control. The situation may
have convinced him, as it has
certainly convinced others, that
any measure of adequate con-
troll can not be wreSted from the
Congress while the railroads are
so strongly entrenched in the
upper chamber. If this be the

and perhaps the liberties of the
people. He does lot demand a
platform calling for government
ownership, because, mayhap, he
has not entirely lost hope of AIDE
quate control. But he has I'M
mistakably declared, as he did
previously, that if control was
found to be impossible, govern
ment ownership must follow.
He has simply put in rather
more concrete form opinions
which he has been known for
years to hold.
The howl which has gone up
in certain quarters in respect of
this deliverance will disturb the
hysterical and those who hold to
the divine right of public utilities
to be operated as private con-
Germs. As an abstraction, few
patriotic citizens who have stud
led the subject will quarrel with
Mr.. Bryan's speech. AS a mat
ter of polity the matter is one for
further study. and may be di-
rected by subsequent legislation
and the coming policy of the
roads. In giving the great con-
Germs pause in their present pol
icy of requiring the payment of
all the traffic will bear the speech
will doubtless serve a good pur-
pose.
In any event Mr.. Bryan has
taken the public into his conf
dence fully and his character is
quite we'll enough known to give
assurance that he means what he
says and will not be shaken one
whit by considerations OF per-
sonal advantage.
