At II o'clock the postman handed a

governors Office had not been notified
that Bigelow had confessed to having
sent out the dynamite
There was something suspicious

wooden box six inches long, three
inches wide and two inches thick.
The top was a slide affair and was
afraid to pull it,.
Accordingly Secretary Montgomery
sent for Head Janitor Patrick Boyls

found that the people are too heavily

another presented itself, until finally
they were showed under. Many of

his was the most serious since the
world began, and demanded a solution.

on Sunday-said to be an action un-

1t for advertising purposes or because
1t was law, or does he realize that the
best way for the liquor interests to
continue their existence is to please,
rather than to offend. those opposed to
the liquor business? The last two
reasons are generally credited to him.

SIMMONS ON BRYAN.

In an interview given out in Wash
ington a day or so ago Senator Sim
mons indicated strong leaning on
his part toward Mr.. Bryan for the
democratic nominee, He says tne
question how most frequently asked in
the ranks of the party is: who if not
Bryan?" and then announces it as
foregone conclusion that he will be
the nominee and he says that ''he will
lead the forces of the democratic
party, which will be more united than
for long time, while the ranks OF the
republicans will be divided.' He thinks
the main issue will be the tariff. While
the senator does not declare for MI
Rrvan his language would indicate
the Nebraskan is his first choice and
that he has no second one. He Seems
