THE STRAWBERRY CROP.
Dealers Predict Bountful Supply at a Price Within the Reach of All. How To Feat Strawberries and En- joy Them.

A glut in the strawberry market is the
 rrediction of fruit dealers in nearly all
 sections of the country. Reports from
 the growers of berries in Virginia Dela-
 ware and New Jersey indicate that the
 coming crop will be better than Tor many
 seasons and show that larger acreage
 has been devoted to the fruit. It is pre-
 dicted that lovers of this succulent fruit
 in many northern cities will be able to
 eat all the good berries they want at 6
 cents quart, or perhaps cents
 To suggest that some persons cannot
 eat the raw strawberry as 1t comes rom
 the garden without stomach distress may seem almost unpatriotic for every Amer ican thinks 1t a patriotic duty to eat stra wberries whether they agree with him or not It is a fact, however, that many persons cannot eat them without
 discomfort. The full enjoyment Of this delicious berry is denied to thousands whose stomachs do not take kindly to the neculiar acid and the numberless little ooss 'r,bicb if contains For these per cone the soggy white flour dough of .snort- t-cake' makes a bad matter even urorse Almost any person whose stom- a oh has not gone out of business entirely can eat strawberries and Shredded Wheat Biscuit with perfect safety and fullest endowment The best way to prepare | them is to heat the biscuit in an oven

There | is something about the porous shreds | that neutralzes the fruit acid and the ] combination makes most wholesome and 1 delicious dish-more easily dgested and l much more nutritious than the ordinary | short-cake.

Neqro Badly Hurt.

Mike Roche, a negro miner, was seri- ousIy if not fatally injured at Ray mond mines this afternoon and at a late hour this evening Dr. C. L. Stans- bury, the attending physician, was very much in doubt as to whether he would recover or not.
 The negro had one leg badly crushed and his hand and foot were also badly mashed. He was riding up on one of the little tram cars when he attempted to get off and was caught under the car.
 Kenney's ambulance was sent for and he was taken to the operating room of Dr. Stansbury. Dr. J. H. Dowing. who is also working on him, said the shock was so great he did not believe the negro would recover.
 Roche had only been working at the mines for two days having gone over there from the Sloss mines.

 The wise liberality of the Congress Of the United States has provided the means for the purchase of this tract or land five acres in extent-near the White House and the great executive departments, bounded on evry side by public streets and facing to the east and south on pub lie parks which it will always be the care of the national government to render con- tinualy more beautiful in execution of it's design to make the national capital an object of antional pride and source of that measure which comes to rich and poor alike from the education of taste.

THE CHICAGO TATTLETALE

One of the best rieces of campaign
work ever produced in America was
published on the first page Of Tues

purports to be a reproduction Of one
page Of a paper. which the Tribune
denominates, THE Chicago Tattle-

and its points are of the most telling
nature. Here is one of Its kilograms:

R o HIS OWN U

If wyoming sheep men are even in
small degree OF the opinion that Mr..
Bryan has a friendly feeling for the
tarif upon wool. they had as well dis
pei the illusion and either make up
their minds to accept free trade or put
Mr.. Taft in the White House. From
his public utterances, it would appear
that free trade is about the only heresy
Mr.. Bryan has not discarded from his
political creed. Free silver, he Will
now have none OF 1t. Government
ownership of railroads, 1t ID In the
background and cannot be adverted
TO. The race question he has not dis
cusssd. Imperialism, not for Bryan.
He is now just against trusts and for
free trade. This was the keynote OF
his Des Moines speech.
How does he stand upon the wool
question?
0uOldllOu llon u oRSCNu W MA'
Bryan in the congress Of the United
States:
The theory, Mr.. Chairman, upon
which this (the tarit) Ia justi-
fed, might as well be met here as any
where: and I want to state as am
pAAtically as words can state 1t, that
consider 1t a. false in economy and
vicious In policy to attempt to raise
at . high price in this country that
which we can purchase abroad at u
low price,
That is Mr.. Bryan's policy. That is
the free trade doctrine tersely put.
He would put American industries
squarely upon the level of he indus.
tries of the old world. Everything
that We cannot manufacture as cheap
ly as it can be manufactured by the
cheap labor OF Europe. he would buy
in Europe. He would not ATTEMPT
TO RAISE AT A HIGH PRICE IN
THIS COUNTRY THAT WHICH WE
CAN PURCHASE ABROAD AT A
LOW PRICE"
In the same speech Mr.. Bryan gave
attention to wool, in the following
language:
1T was said by gentleman
who appeared before the COM
r.ttt., 4 tt-I- - A. lart
that wool could be raised in Australia
for six cents a pound and that it could
not be raised in this country for less
than fifteen cents; and we are told
that it is q wise policy to SO tax i'm
ported wool as to enable our people to
raise wool at fifteen cents a pound in
stead of buying II at six cents a pound;
that we ave money and give employ
ment to labor"
Nothing could be clearer than MI.
Bryan's position upon this impor-
tant subject. He favors knocking the
price of American wool down to the
level of the Australian wool by talk
ing of the tariff. In other words, he
favors six-cent wool. And by the
way, hat is probably more than it
averaged under the tariff act he SO
earnestly advocated while making this
speech-the Wilson bill.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Bryan's
speech. he was hailed with great &C.
claim by the democrats in congress.
They carried him upon their shoul-
ders and proceeded to put wool on the
free list. Wyoming wool men know
the rest.
