LOCAL CONDITIONS ARE PRAISED

DR.. Orne. who has been investigating
the penal and charitable institutions
of Guthrie and other Oklahoma cities,
Is highly pleased over local conditions.
He has been engaged in this work for
a great many years and when he
strikes town II is seldom long before
he has local social conditions accur-
ately summed up. Dr. Orne said this
morning:
You have absolutely one Of the
cleanest cities in America-and have
been IN and investigated nearly all of
them. ! think that the city that Is
truly the eleanest in the country Is
Meridian. Mississippi. and II Is but lit
tie ahead Of Oklahoma's beautiful cap
ital. OF course there are some things
that are not all they should be, but
that is true OF every Community"

VX YHEN the Democratic national
wv 1896 one Of s' the he o delegates en
from Nebraska was William
Jennings Bryan, young man of thir-
ty-six, private citizen Of the city Of
Lincoln. His prior politica: career
comprised two terms in congress. He
had been bis party nominee for Unit
ed States senatorship in Republican
legislature.
The national Democracy had broken
away from Grover Cleveland, whom It
had elected president twice and who
was then In Office. The split was on
the money question Cleveland had
called special session of congress to
repeal the silver bullion purchasing
act The mass Of the party stood for
the free coinage of silver. chiefly at
the ratio Of 16- to /. The Cleveland
wing stood for the single gold stand

ct. A second time Bryan went down
to defeat, but gracefully and with
good cheer
He was at his home in Lincoln on
election day, ate an early dinner, went
upstairs at about o'clock and slept
soundly until II, when he came down
and discovered that he was badly
beaten. He smiled to the assembled
reporters, returned to his bed and slept
soundly until morning. 1t was said
by those present that he evinced not

lays, while it was an ordinary thing
for him to address twenty crowds at
twenty different towns in twenty

sique and voice that stood the ire

o sitting up all night and travelling
many miles just to hear the phenome-
lon speak
Bryan's first appearance in the east
vas on the 18th of August, when he
delivered his speech of acceptance of
he nomination. Madison Square Gar
len was packed with suffocating
mass of men and women, though it
vas one of the hottest days ever known
in New York and a dozen persons had
lied from sunstroke during the day.
Bryan read that speech from manu-
cript, disappointing thing, for it de-
racted greatly from his eloquence
ut the candidate was we'll aware that
:reat issues hinged upon his utterances
i that important occasion, and he did
lot care to trust himself to the I'M
.urbed enthusiasm of the moment.
With Arthur Sewall of Maine, the
:ice presidential candidate, Bryan went
own to defeat at the November elec-
zion. though he had been nominated
also by the Populist party, with
thomas e. Watson of Georgia as the
ice presidential. candidate on that
icket. Mckinley and Hobart went
ITO Office. and there were those who
reelected that Bryan was forever elm
.iared from the Democracy.

AEW PICTURE or Mr.. AND MRS. BRYAN.

In that convention to the vast throng
which had waited and sweated and
fretted all night long just to hear him
a speech which for pathos and power
and thrill no inveterate convention fol-
lower ever heard equaled. The Demo
cratic ticket, Judge Alton B. Parker
OF New York and ex-senator Henry G.
Davis Of West Virginia, was defeated
in November inexpressibly worse than
was Bryan In either of his campaigns.
The discovery Of vast deposits of
gold in Alaska and elsewhere since the
free silver campaigns has eliminated
the money issue from politics. Mr..
Bryan has accepted this fact and now
stands upon other Democratic issues,
Despite all opposition, he has domi-
mated the national Democracy for
twelve years. For several years past
he has given expression to his views
IN the weekly journal, the Commoner,
which he established at Lincoln. He
has removed to fine farm near Lin
coin, built commodious residence and
become known throughout the world
dtular successor to Henry Clay. He
has travelled around the world and
written his impressions for syndicate
Of American newspapers. He has been
for years the most popular and highest.
paid lecturer on the American lyceum
and Chautauqua circuits. It is said
that his income from lecturing alone
Is as much as $4,000 year. the presi-
dents salary. 3.
Mr.. Bryan is total abstainer from
alcohol and tobacco. He is member
OF the Presbyterian church and never
works on Sunday, save to deliver a re-
1gious address now and then. His
ideal is morality, personal, political,
and civic. The Bryan Of 1908 looks
older than the Bryan of 1896, but he IL
no less vigorous and virile than he was
when his voice flashed across the COM
tinent from the Chicago convention hall.

Ex-Mayor Thomas NJ. Osborne of
Auburn, one of the public service
commissioners of New York state, has
come out for Bryan. He voted against
him in 1895 and 1900, but cannot find
''any convincing reason why he
should oppose him this year. What
especially moves him is Mr.. Taft in
his character of q Roosevelt dummy =

make his speech of acceptance without
his having it first o. X. ID by the

A Spanish Marriage Custom.
In some parts of Spain the marriage
ceremony has one feature peculiar to
1tself-that Of the velacione. During
the mass said after the marriage cere.
mony the couple, with their godfather
and godmother, kneel at the foot Of the
altar. A silken cord is thrown around
the neck Of the bride, and the bride
groom holds the ends of it. Then q
long strip Of silk cloth is thrown ovel
, the heads Of the newly married pair
and four lighted wax candles are hand
ed, one to the bride, one to the groom
one to the godfather and one to thu
godmother, who stand to the coupl.
In much the same relation that bes
man and maid of honor do with us un
der the same circumstances. Then tn,
priest sprinkles all four with holy wa
ter, blesses them, and the ceremony I!
over. A Spanish woman does not con
slider herself thoroughly married with
