Bryan Growing in Popularity.

The better the people of this
country become acquainted with
Mr.. Bryan the better they like him
and the less they think of those who
called him an anarchist and dan
gerous man. Commenting upon
this subject the Cedar Rapids Ga
zette says, that the people ARE COM
ing to know Mr.. Bryan for what he
really is-a man, with a great heart,
a sincerity of purpose, an honesty of
conviction, breadth of intellect,
that is unsurpassed. Instead of an
anarchist, they have found him to
be mild hammered, Christian gen
tleman, interested in the upbuilding
of everything that is good and noble
and true. They have received last
ing favorable impressions of one OF
the greatest men Of his day and
generation"

pronlsate spendthrift..

The wealth Of many of the ancient
Romans was reckoned far into the
millions. Mark Antony during his
somewhat checkered career squander-
ed no less than $735, 100000, and IT,
berius left ut his death over eighteen
millions, which Caligula spent in less
than year. Records show that this
spendthrift paid $4,000 for one sup
per. Horace tells us that Pegellus, n
singer. could in five days spend $4O,-
600, and Clodius on small wager
swallowed pearl worth nearly $4O,-
600. The estate Of Crassus was valued
at $8,40O000. Lucullus dined at the
rate of $4,000 meal for several weeks.
Lentulus was worth not less than six
teen millions, and Apicus squandered
nearly five millions of dollars In a few

The younger man has been iden-
tilted as Barney Hansen of Dubuque,

Sunday Mrs. Hanson came out
from Dubuque accompanied by
William Hansen younger brother
of the prisoner. The first intima-
ton they received Of Barnard Han
sens arrest was through the Dubuque
Telegraph Herald Saturday evening.
They came out here at once but it
was not deemed advisable to allow
them to interview the prisoner un-
til about seven o'clock. Then they
were under the surveillance of Of
fieers.
Mrs. Hansen engaged Mr.. Arnold
as her attorney and with him and
William Hansen, she was allowed
another interview Monday for a
short time between ten and eleven.
These interviews were very pathetic
and be he innocent or guilty one
cannot help being moved at the
grief manifested by the prisoner,
his wife and brother. Mrs. Hansen
and William Hansen returned to
Dubuque Monday afternoon.
The other prisoner, who gave
his name as Geo. Moore and who is
thought by some to be George Hem
derson Of Dubuque, is still uncom-
municative upon all personal ques-
tons. Upon other subjects he will
talk in moderate degree and seems
to be man of good education. He
has employed Bronson, Carr & Sons
as his attorneys.

George w. Perkins Case.

In 1904 George w. Perkins, an
officer of the New York Life In
surance Company, gave $4S,5O0 of
his company's money to the repub-
lican campaign fund. His was not
an exceptional case by any means.
In 1896 Mark Hanna collected
millions from the trusts and corpo-
rations and every corporation agent
or officer connected with such con-
tributions was no better nor worse
than Perkins. Contributingto the
expense of political campaigns is not
a part of the business Of any corpo-
Ration, and the corporation officer or
agent who uses any part of his com
pany's money for such purposes rem
dsrers himself criminally and civilly
liable.
Criminal proceedings were insti-
tuted against Mr.. Perkins, in such
an informal manner that the
Supreme Court Of the state Of New
York saved him temporarily from a
felon's cell The decision Of the
lower court was reversed on tech
nicality, which does not prevent the
state Of New York from further pro-
ceeding against Mr.. Perkins for the
criminal offence committed by him.
A few days ago Mr.. Perkins
made restitution to the Insurance
Company by returning the $4S,500,
with interest from the date of the
contribution, but that does not set.
tie the criminal case. Mr.. Perkins
committed the crime of grand larceny
when he used the funds of the Life
Insurance Company for an I'M
authorized purpose, but he commit
ted no greater crime than every
other corporation officer in the
country, who has made similar
contribution. The only difference
between such officers and Mr.. Per.
kins is that Mr.. Perkins got foun
out. E.4

about $4,000 were stolen.
Nitro glycerin was used in blow

They then decided to search
the barn adjacent to the field and
Deputy Sheriff Pentony and Mr..
Lemon entered the barn while Sher-
iff Hennessey, County Attorney
Cloud and others stayed outside and
guarded all possible exits. Appar-
emily there was nothing in the hay
NOV, but while tramping around
from one place to another the Dep
uty sheriff noticed in one place that
the hay presented a peculiar resis-
lance To his feet, not being as
springy as the rest. With one hand
holding a revolver and the other
pulling away the hay he dug down
about four feet and uncovered man,
who at sight of the revolver hastily
cried out, Don't shoot, we weren't
doing anything!'
In the hay adjacent to him was a
younger man and beside them lay a
sack containing dimes and half dol
lars in the sum of about twenty dol
lars and an envelope addressed to
the Farmers State Bank at Mason
vile. The elder of the men was ex-
ceedingly taciturn and chary of his
speech. The Younger one said that
he was molder and machinist and
his home was in Dubuque, that he
had come over the G. G. w. on his
way from Dubuque to Waterloo on
a freight car Wednesday night and
had been put off at Oneida where he
met the older man, and they fell
into conversation. He said the old
er man told him they could easily
catch a freight on the Centralat Man
chester SO they started out to walk
here. Being cold and tired they
stopped in this barn to rest and so
we're found. However, he did not
explain how it happened that they
were buried under four feet of hay,
with the bank sack Cater identified
by cashier Lillis) between them, and
that the measurements correspond
ed with the tracks followed from
Masonville to that barn by the
Sheriff and his Deputy.
He declared it was all piece Of
unfortunate circumstantial evidence.
If they are innocent it is certainly
remarkable case of unfortunate
circumstantiel evidence.
Search of their clothes brought to
light few dollars more, whether this
belonged with that in the sack is a
matter for conjecture. The sum
gathered together in all amounted
to about 5000, in currency. The
sum taken from the bank was COM
puted by cashier Lilis to be over
1000 dollars in currency and about
the same amount in checks and
drafts.
One arrest was made last Friday
morning but after short examina-
ton the man was released. Several
clues were followed up but nothing
definite came of them. Inthe after
noon both prisoners were photo.
graphed at N. Fl. Hyde's studio.
They were taken there singly under
close surveillance. They were both
much opposed to this process. The
younger man, however, offered no
great resistance but stated that as
he was innocent he did not want to
be implicated in the affair to the ex
tent Of having papers publish his
picture as suspected criminal. The
older man protested and fought and
the only way picture was secured
Of him was by two men holding him,
even then he outwitted them to some
extent by keeping his eyes closed.
From his actions in general and
outside information, this older man

Democrats Did Good Work in Opposing
a Ship Subsidy.

The democrats opposed ship
subsidy bill and are entitled to
credit for its failure to become a
law at the session Of congress which
has just ended. They did this for
many reasons, but chief of all for
the reason that it would add another
member to the circle Of heartless
teaches which are already fastened
upon the public treasury.
The Register and Leader is of
the opinion that quite enough capital
is already entrenched behind the
national treasury. Speaking on
this subject it says: why is it
with all investigations Of insurance,
railroading, and the like, that no in.
terest can be- exciteafh the exattions
of the steel trust and the sugar
trust? Why is it impossible to
arouse any public sentiment over
the wrongs being done the Filipinos
as we'll as to American producers by
the sugar and tobacco trusts? There
is but one answer. These trusts
are entrenched behind tariff legis-
lation, and the moment the debate
drifts towards the tariff other inter
ests are at once involved. In other
words, in order to reach these trusts
it is necessary to appear to attack a
national policy.
Surprising the shipping trust can
get into such relations with the
government, that criticism of its
methods will appear in the light Of
opposing the expansion of American
commerce, being unpatriotic towards
the american flag on the high seas,
or OF willingness to see the United
States inadequately equipped in
case OF war? How will the reformer
fare who is insistent on fair play
and an honest deal on the ocean as
he is on the land?"
And as prominent republican
official as George E. Roberts, com
mences an editorial in the Fort
Dodge Messenger by saying: "The
ship subsidy idea is in disfayor."
And he concludes hisseditorial with
the following thoughtful paragraph
"There is growing opinion that
this country is getting big enough
to be allowed to develop in the
future along natural lines and by
natural impulses. We are rich and
populous and gaining in wealth and
population very fast. There is
really no occasion for artificial stimu-
lus. even ifcongress was SO wise and
infallible that it could be trusted to
administer stimulants. We are at
tracing people from all parts of the
world 80 fast that one of our most
serious problems is how to keep
them out. The attitude toward the
ship subsidy proposal shows an in
creasing distrust Of the net results
of q policy Of governmental pro
motion"
The policy of governmental pro-
motion" is responsible for many Of
our public ills, and national olfenses
No civilized country is responsible
for more inhuman policy than the
one this country stands for in its
treatment of the Filipinos. We re.
fuse to trade with the people of the
islands on fair terms, and pro.
hibit them from trading on fail
terms with the people of any other
country. And this great wrong is
continued through the heartless in
fuence of a few tariff fostered mon
strosities.

Judge Mulowny has granted a new trial
for Robert Thomas, colored, the street
sweeper accused of stealing a pocketbook
containing about 81 in money from SEN
ator Foraker's son Arthur. No date has
been set for the trial.
Young Foraker dropped the pocketbook

who was said to have been sweeping the
streets where the property was lost, was
arrested by Precinct Detective Cox of the
third precinct The lost pocketbook Is said
to have been found at the bottom of his
sweeper. The accused man put up $40 col
lateral for his appearance in court the next
morning, but failed to appear. and the
money YVES declared to have been forfeited
1t was argued yesterday by Attorney
Truitt representing Thomas, that the rea-
son for the forfeiture was that Thomas was
sick. following his arrest, and was thus
unable to appear at court 1t was further
said that the pocketbook might have been
swept up and dropped where 1T was found
in the sweeper without Thomas knowledge.

LECTURE ON 'QUAKES.
Prof. Andrew Lawson Predicts Shock
in Oregon and Washington.

Prof. Andrew c. Lawson, head of the de-
partment of geology at the University OF
California, delivered lecture on Earth
Quakes'' before the members of the Ma
tional Geographic Society and their friends
last night at the National Rifles Armory.
He stated that it Is hardly likely, according
to the way of thinking of a number of
scientists, that another earthquake will
visit California in many years, but that he
would not be surprised to hear of an earth
quake occurring in Oregon and Washington
and in the western part Of Mexico.
In his discussion he attributed the Cali
fornia quake to series of ruptures that
have been travelling along the western coast
of America. so far it has occurred every
where along the coast except in stretch
between the southern part of California and
Central America and an area between the
northern part of California and the south
ern part of Alaska. These stretches, / be-
lieve, will be visited before long and then
the long line of this earthquake will be
complete from Chill to Alaska
Prof. Lawson devoted most of his lee
ture to the California earthquake. The
vertical displacement" he saldr amounted
to about three feet, while the horizontal
displacement, as evidenced by the breakage
of pipe lines, fences boundary lines, ETC.,
was from ten to fifteen feet"
large number of photographs of the
country affected by the earthquake and
views of the displacement of objects along
the line of the quake, were shown by Prof
Lawson, after his lecture, by means of a
stereopticon.
