Gets Four Apples for Rent.

Mr.. Claiborn. owner Of the cider and
vinegar works and the sorghum factory
east of town, is the man with the best
right to lament over the fruit failure.
He stated today that the cider and sor-
ghum portion of his mill will remain
shut down for the year the only opera
ten being with grain. There is no su-
gar cane TO speak of, and no apples at
all. AS striking evidence of this latter
fact he visited his farm in Salem town
ship yesterday. Under the terms Of the
lease he is to receive "one-half Of the
apples grown in the orchard" on the
place. His renter informed him that Mr.
Claiborns share will be just four apples
and inquired whether he wanted them
delivered in town or would come after
them.-Iola (Kanl Record.

IT IS BRYAN, FOR BRYAN
AND BRYAN ONLY
lsan Francisco CaIl.)

Denver's successful quest of the
Democratic national convention and
the date chosen for the nomination
of the bourbons' national standard
bearer seem to confirm the well set
tied popular opinion that William
Jennings Bryan will again lead the
hosts of Democracy in a forlorn hope
assault upon the White House.
Bryan announced Immediately on
the heels of Denver's victory that any
city between Maine and California
would have been entirely satisfact-
ory to him. The 100000 bonus Of
fered by the Denverites and sorely
needed by the national committee un-
doubtedly had its effect upon the de-
cision. but that the Commoner's pre-
ference was for state that had twice
given him its electors, and that that
preference determined the votes OF a
considerable number of the commi-
tteemen, has not been challenged
save indirectly by Bryan's statement
that any city would have suited him.
The selection of state for the
convention was more significant of
Bryan's control of the committee than
was the choice of the convention city.
The virtually unanimous agreement
upon July 7th, was distiLct repu-
diation of the policies of Chairman
Taggart and the anti-Bryanite. Prior

named md th--rs-srvrm III promulgat-
ed before the Republicans met He
vigorously attacked the Bryan policy
of delay as putting the Democrats on
the defensive. That the national
committee prefers Bryan's defensive
tactics to the offensive scheme was
selection of date three full weeks
after the Republican convention will
have finished It's work.
| When Bryan was in California last
spring he managed to convey to the
Democrats who comprised his suite
that he expected to be nominated by
acclamation next year. His absolu-
to control of the rational committee,
the surrender OF Colonel Watterson
and the absence of a serious contes-
tant for the empty honor of leading
the Democrats seem to prove that
Bryan's prophetic vision. If sadly at
fault when leveled at the American
electorate. is clear enough as regards
the actions of his party organiza-
ton.

New York. March 2.-During the

demic Signor Caruso, the renowned
tenor, has caught the infection. A
labor union OF one, having a monop-
oily in a certain throat product that
much delights the glittering horse
shoe, he laid before Herr Conried
for signature a new scale. Art Is
never commercial, never knows how
TO drive bargains, so all he OF the
monkey house asked for was $4,000
per performance, and a guarantee
OF fifty appearances per season. or
$4,000 for six months work. His
tory does not state what the impress
sario's reply TO the first demand was.
but IL is a significant colncident that
soon after Caruso's demand word
came out that Herr Conried was not
convaleseing as speedily as his
friends hoped he would. To be held
up or not to be heldup-that was
the question. Is IL better to give a

for who knew what he would be fool
enough 10 offer the hero OF the Sim

II is said that he spends more than

he would do his own collecting, as he
feared his wardmen cribbed n lot OF
