Anthrax in cattle has developed to
some extent in the southern part of
Dawson county, and Bore Boreson has
already lost five head. This disease
has not spread to any great extent as
yet, as it was taken in time by the
veterinarian, and it is thought to have
put a stop to it. These five head are
the only ones reported to have died.

HE'S BEEN FOUND.

Well, they have found him at last,
or at least, they have found his tooth
and that's pretty good evidence that
he had been there. 1t was to be ex-
pected that they would do it if time
enough were allowed them, and they
have been and gone and done it."
His-or her-name is Rhanphorynchus
Phylurus. At least, that is the Jaw
breaking name the scientists have fas-
tened to the animal, which Is not here
to protest.
True, they have only found a tooth
so far, which was dug up from a farm
in Iowa. The molar was six inches
long and four inches across the top,
which all will admit was a sizable
grinder. They don't know whether the
tooth was yanked out by some prehis-
toric dentist. or whether the owner lost
it accidentally, or IL the creature died
on the spot and nothing is left but the
lone tooth. They decide that he was
one of the ancient Saurian family and
that he, or possibly she, or maybe 1t,
lived and fiourished during the Juras-
see period of the Mesozoic era, what
ever that was.
The wise men who read the secrets
of teeth and bones do not attempt to
fix the exact date when this thing lived
or cashed in. 1t may. have been a mil
lion or a billion years ago, for that
isn't material. The earth at some i'm
mensely remote period was full of mon
sters which walked. crawled or flew,
and our own country was blessed with
them as well as other regions. Most
of them had something of the alligator
in their makeup and from that they get
the general name of saurians. Many
remains are found throughout the
country from time to time and partic-
ularly here in the west, but this is the
first relic of Rhanphorynchus Ply
lurus having been discovered so far as
memory recalls. Perhaps II they Reep
up the search they may find the re-
mainder of the creature and build him
up for the wonder and admiration of
this and future generations. At all
events, Uncle Sam has first claim to
him. and no foreigner has a right to
butt in.

MIR. BRYAN IN TOPEKA.

William Jennings Bryan's reception
in this city was all that any man or
his admirers could desire and was
probably greater than either the DEM
ocratic candidate for the presidency or
his most ardent supporters hereabouts
had hoped for. 1t Is not believed that
there was ever a more extensive out
pouring of people in Topeka to hear
any man speak or to at leas. catch a
glimpse of him than that which turn
ed out on Thursday night for the Bry-
an meeting at the auditorium. And
this enormous audience seemed to be
most heartily in sympathy with Demo-
cracy's leader.
Kansans have ever been friendly to
Mr.. Bryan. This is true of a great
many men in this state who differ from
him politically and who will probably
vote against him. They admire him
none the less for the strong and able
man that he is. And that Mr.. Bryan
has lost none of these friends in this
state, but rather gained them, was
made apparent by the tremendous en-
thusiasm with which he was welcomed
to the city and the attention that was
paid to him during the few hours of
his stay here, eliminating with the
monster mass meeting at the auditor
ium.
MI. Bryan's chief speech here, the
one he delivered last night, was the
first careful defense he has made so
far in the campaign of the plank in
the Denver platform which places the
Democratic party on record in favor
81 Ia ole tn1 a.
posts in banks. His defense of that
plank and his arguments in favor of
such a proposition were powerful ones.
This will have to be admitted even by
those who are not in sympathy with
the plan.
Twelve years of campaigning have
not affected the vigor of the
Nebraskan, unless it has been to in
crease it. He is really more force
full orator today than he was when he
first entered the lists for the presi-
dency of the United States. This is
so because his remarks and arguments
are presented in far more conservative
language than he was wont to use at
the beginning of his national career.
Ii Is for this reason, among others,
perhaps. that Mr.. Bryan is a stronger
man with the people of this country
now than he has ever been before.
That is admitted on all sides and was
plainly evidenced by the really won
derful reception which was accorded
to him on Thursday by the people of
Topeka and the surrounding country.
Mr.. Bryan has been in Topeka on sew
eral other occasions but at no time
have so many people turned out to
hear him or have they cheered him so
