Bryan Will Reply.

Rockford, ILL.,. Aug. Civ. j.
Bryan, after delivering Chautau-
qua address here yesterday after
noon said that he would reply to
that part of Secretary Taft's Co
lumbus speech in which the Bryan
Federal ownership of railroads was
attacked. Commenting on the
speech, mir: Bryan said:
There are sections in the speech
that should interest all, but those
passages which related to myself |
shall read over again. and. being a
newspaper man, shall not give pub
licity to my reply until such time as
have opportunity to print it in The
Commoner. | shall take up Secre-
taxy Taft's illusions to myself, and
then there will be something which
viii make interesting reading"
Perhaps Mr.. Bryan was not IN a
pleasant mood, for on his way here
The baggage Car Of the Chicago and
Northwestern train in which he was
riding took the wrong track at Free
port line Junction, near Belvidere,
and the other cars crashed into it.
Mr.. Bryan was Obliged to walk o
mile and half to continue bis jour-

The LIMIT OF LIFE

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted Limitation OF
human life is many years below the at
tainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines its duration, seems to be be-
tween so and 60; the proper care OF the
body during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then being
fatal longevity. Natures best helper
after so is Electric Bitters, the scientific
tonic medicine that revitalizes every
organ of the body. Guaranteed by O.

Plague at San Francisco.

The announcement in Sunday
mornings Picayune that bubonic
plague has appeared at San Fran
cisco, and that out of FIVE cases re-
ported four had resulted in death,
is something to set the health au.
thcrities thinking.
Howthe disease got there is not
stated, hut in view OF the official
report In the United States Public
Health bulletin for Aug. g, that a
seaman had been removed from the
tug Wizard on May % to the Ma
rine Hospital, where he had died on
May 26, three days later, there is
reason to fear that the situation is
serious. There was no notification
Of the arrival of the infection there
from any foreign port on May %,
nor is any such account given OF
the five cases just reported. Ac"
cording to the telegram, the pa
tients, with one exception, were OF
the poorer class OF foreigners, dwell
ling in the neighborhood of China
to s. The exception was foreign
e. IL from 8 coastwise steamer.
The bodies Of two Mexicans, an
italian and a russian Pole who sue
cummbed we're destroyed in quick
lime.
Evidently the disease has become
established in the city among the
poorer classes, and is beginning tc
laake great progress. The City
Government at San Francisco is II
g badly disorganized condition, arc
the disease has not been stamped
but since it appeared in May
There is bubonic plague now, as re
ported in the health bulletin a
Honolulu, at various Solth Ameri
can ports on both Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts, at various ports OF In
dia, China and Japan, and II
Australian cities, with all of whicI
+. San Francisco has marine commu
nication. The disease could get i
from any of those places, and di
get in from some of them.
According to the accepted doc
trines of the propagation OF til
plague, it is carried by rats. Ihes
yermln get it by eating the dea
bodies of plague victims, and the
travel around the globe in ships
Every ship is infested with then
and when vessel from an infecte
port ties up at the wharf or dock 9
it's port of destination the rats g
ashore and carry the infection.
is held that these animals, besides
are not only infected in their ow
bodies, but that they are infeste
by fleas and ticks, which also COZ
tain and nourish the plague bach
lus.
Therefore, the way to guar
against plague is to prevent the in
migration into the nonlnfected porI
of the infected rats. 1t should h
noted that these vermin travel
railroad cars as well as in ships
and they can come over lano as we
as by sea. Among the Atlapt
ports with which New Orlear
trades are Rio and other ports
Brazil, Buenos Ayres, Trinidad
Cape Colony and other Sout
American and West African port
all of which report the presence
the plague, and it behooves ou
health authorities to look out Il
rats.

TRAMPS TROUBLESOME.
New York Central Has Adopted
Forceful Tactics.

New York, Sept. 21-A notable ef
feet of the approach of cold weather is
the exodus of tramps. Park benches
are being deserted and the railroads
will soon be obliged to deal with the
hobo" problem. Roads running out
of New York have seconded the decis
ion of the conference of railway boards
at Minneapolis that the tramp evil is
the most serious railroad problem to-
day and they have referred the matter
to the respective chiefs Of police. These
chiefs, therefore, will gather at this
city in few days to discuss ways and
means of meeting the situation.
The New York Central has made a
beginning of dealing with the tramp
pest by statiCning 100 men of strength
and tried courage on the main line be-
tween here and Albany to keep tramps
from boarding trains and committing
depredatiOnS. Youths are sworn in
as special officers and empowered to
arraign prisoners as vagrants The
Central estimates it's losses are $4,000
yearly in freight stolen or destroyed
by tramps in the Eleventh avenue
yards.
