BRYAN ASKED TO RETIRE.
Sullivan Democrats in illinois Send
Letter to Nebraskan.

Letter to Nebraskan.
Chicago, Nov. Sullivan Hopkins
Democrats in Illinois have asked Will
liam Jennings Bryan to lay aside his
halo" long enough to permit the
party to elect Democratic president.
They think it would be possible to
achieve this result if Mr.. Bryan will
forget himself long enough to permit
Democrats to unite and pass up their
partisan fighting.
The request has been made in the
form Of a letter written by Charles
K. Ladd Of Kewanee, who has served
in a prominent capacity in Democratic
state and national conventions and
who has been affiliated with the Sui
livan-Hopkins faction in the party.
Mr.. Laid set his views in a long letter
to Mr.. Bryan, an epistle which he
asked Mr.. Bryan to make public.
In this letter they have informed
Mr.. Bryan that his own ideas, if car
ried out, would be sufficient to cause
the shade Of Alexander Hamilton to
arise and dance on the grave Of
Thomas Jefferson. They ask him to
forget himself and to allow the party
to take advantage of economic con-
ditions, which they believe will make
1t possible to elect Democratic pres

TRIAL OF JOHN R. WALSH
Former Bank President Faces Serious
Charges.

Charges.
Chicago, Nov. 13-The trial OF
John R. Walsh, former president of
the Chicago National bank, on the
charge of misapplication Of the funds
of that Institution, has commenced in
the United States district court before
Judge A. B. Anderson.
The Indictment under which the
trial was brought contained 160
counts. The offense charged is pun
ishable by a term of from five to ten
years in prison. 1t is believed that
the trial will last about a month.
The chief issue in the case is
whether or not Mr.. Walsh used the
funds Of the bank to aid his own
enterprises. It Is also charged in 9th
or indictments that Mr.. Walsh Dor
rowed from his own bank more than
the legal amount Of 10 per cent Of the
capital stock. This trial. however,
will not touch upon this latter ques-
ton.

CONCERT FRIDAY MIGHT
Best Musical Event Ever Given by
Band..--Will Give Dance
After Concert.
The Bemidji band, under the
leadership of Professor Thomas Sym.
ington, will give its first indoor
concert of the winter season at the
opera house Friday evening.
Professor Symington has been
working assiduously with the band
for two weeks past, drilling the
various members so that the concert
Friday night will be a successful
one from musical standpoint. Mr..
Symington's labors will be rewarded
by general excellence of the play
ing on the part of the members Of
the band that is indeed gratifying,
and those who attend the concert
Friday night are assured of hearing
the best that has ever been given by
the local band.
The program shows many new and
catchy up-to-date numbers, which
were selected by Professor Syming-
ton, after having gone carefully
over large list of new musical com
positions.
| At the conclusion of the concert,
the Bemidji orchestra will give it's
first ball of the season.
The Bemidji band consists of
sixteen regular members, as follows:
our ClarlOnetS, three comets, two
altos, two trombones, one tenor,
one baritone, one bass and two
drums. In addition to the insru-
mentation named, there are three
other musicians who play occasion
ally with the band, one of whom
plays the cornet, one tenor and one
| clarionet.
Professor Thomas Symington, the
present leader of the band, came to
Bemidji on July 10, 1905. Since he
took hold of the local band, the
organization at all times has
given high class music, indicative
of the instructive ability of the leader.

IT is a fact of history with which
many are perhaps unfamiliar and
which others have forgotten. that in
the year 1881, month OF August, Mayor
Darlington, then chief executive of
Richmond in disregard of legal for
malities. opened the waste ways or
sluice gates of the james River and
kanawha Canal above the city ana
allowed the waters to flow therefrc
into the river. This astonishing action
was taken In one Of the crises Of the
oitN's history. Owing to a remarSahle
and prolonged drought the level Of tho
river was so low that the pumps at the
Old Pump House could not perform
their functions, and the city was face

On August 18th the total supply of

grew from bad to worse. On August

to the canal opened. regardless of the

mercy of flames. had a fire begun.
There was but little alienation of these
water famine conditions until October
10th, when n new steam pump, which
had been hurriedly installed to meet
the emergency, began working and re-
lief was in sight.
Another such famine was threatened
about 1895, when, owing to the waste
and the limited pumping capacity, the
consumption lowered the depth OF
water in the reservoirs to about three
feet in one and five or six In the other.
The installation of water meters re-
lieved these conditions and by prevent
ing waste made recurrence of
this danger remote If not impossible.
The judgment Of Superintendent Boil
ing in installing meters saved the city
thousands Of dollars annually, and also
averted water famine and destructive
conflagration.
Interesting Story.
The history of Rchmond's water sup
ply and Of Its acquisition Of water-power
is a story of peculiar interest just at this
time. In 1928 the city, then having a
population OF about $4,000 people leased
its water-power from Mr.. Hnrvie, citi-
zen who at that time owned the water
rights. a little later on, or about 1880,
the city bought the water right from
the north shore of the James to Belle
I Isle and extending up the river for
about 1000 feet or more above the Old
Pump House. including allethe islands IN
that portion OF THE river. The deed
thereof to the city is Of record in the
clerks office of.sIIenrico county This
supply sufiiced for many years, and until
the New Pump-Housc was constructed.
Tho full extent of the city s. water
