HISTORY OF Nu1BEARER
II Reads Like Tale from a Book OF
Adventures.

Nutbearer was born in Kentucky in
1897. His sire was Nut Breaker. His
dam could not be ascertained last
night From his sire he inherited
great powers of endurance without
which he would have been dead or
worthless horse long before the time
of his death. He was bought when
a three-year-o by Mr.. Hubinger at
price Of $4,000. Mr.. Hubinger
bought two other colts at the same
time and added all three to his grow
Ing string of racing horses.
During the season of 1900 Mr.. HUI
binger kept the horse in Kentucky
and trained him for racing. In 1901
he began his work on the grand cir
cult He appeared that lear for the
first time on the Charter Oak track
at Hartford. During the season he
won six races which was considered
an excellent beginning. But 1t was
onl, a beginning, for the next year
he won fourteen races. Among them
was one at Providence, where he
showed his unparalleled endurance
powers by winning worlds record
In winning a eight mile race, run off
in eight mile stretches with rest per-
iods In between.
OF this race at Providence an old
horseman with every enthusiasm for
Nutbearers accomplishment has
written a graphic account, concluding
as follows:
Eight heats and victory which
marked him at 2:O9 IA. Such was
the browning event of the American
race-track, and its hero was Nut
bearer.
At the termination Of the race he
stood: 7-5-5-3-1-3-1.
Other Successes.
The same season Nutbearer won
the Walnut Hill silver cup and the
purse of $4,000 that went with It at
Lexington. Ky. The race was similar
to that at Providence only it was for
six miles instead Of eight.
be also won another six mile race
at Cincinnati the same season and
three or four races in San Antonio,
Texas.
PC was kept in Texas over the fol-
lowing winter at the stock farm of
G. IA. Foote at Dallas. Mr.. Foote
was his trainer at that time. The
next spring Mr.. Hubinger shipped
Nutbearer with others of his string
of racing horses by special train to
no s,l
season on a Missouri track not far
from here. 1t will never be known
how il happened, but there was great
jealousy at the time over Mr.. HUI
binger's great success with Nutbear-
err and others of his horses Mr. HUI
binger had then the best string of
horses in the country.
The Accident.

The Two-fnced Bryan.

To attract votes, silent votes, Mr..
Bryan is circulating two political docu-
mcnts of strictly personal nature. One
is the prince OF Peace" sermon, which
Is mailed to members of all denomina-
tions. 1t is expected to do efficient
work among the religious and benevo-
lent, to whom ii is n bid to support Mr..
Bryan as n truly virtuous man of lofty
ideals and altruistic purposes-the good
man who could do no wrong.
The other document Is an account of
Mr.. Bryans visit to the Vatican, in
which he gives an appreciative and
pleasing picture Of Plus y. This is sent
only to Catholic voters.
There is no reason why anyone
should resent Mr.. Bryans unctuous so
licitations to vote for him for reasons
of religion. They will react upon him,
for the American people hate a hum
bug.-New York Sun Gnd).

BRYAN IN LEAGUE
WITH LIQUOR DEALERS
Gov. Hoch Has Some Interesting
Correspondence on tho Subject.

| oAh lhO ouoJuSN.
Just as the temperance people Of
Kansas We're beginning to believe that
VIM, ]. Bryan. the Democratic candi-
date for President, would make pretty
| good standard bearer. Governor Hoch
comes along with some correspondence
that is calculated to put Bryan out OF
the running AS a temperance candidate
Governor Hoch got into an Argument
with Democratic politician at Marion
and made some statements he could not
back up with proof on a moments no
ticc. However. he sent to Nebraska
for II and got everything he wanted.
The Omaha editor to whom Governor
Hoch wrote not only confirmed every
statement made by the governor but
he sent copies OF letters written by Mr..
Bryan himself In regard to the pro
hibitory amendment when 1t was up for
adoption by the people Of Nebraska
in 1890.
In this letter Mr.. Bryan says in other
words that he is opposed to prohibition
but that he wanted the Nebraska Dem
ocrats to make no declaration on the
subject. This occurred in the campaign
in which Bryan was elected TO Con-
yress. The Democratic platform de-
clared against prohibition and Bryan
stumpcd the State on the anti-prohibi
tion platform All this Is shown in the
correspondence in the hands of Gov
crnor iIoch and it Is brought out by the
criticism made by Democrats of Taft
because in II speech In Topeka three or
four years ago he made the statement
that at is hard to legislate morals into
people"
The Bryan letter written to n Demo
cratic friend prior to the Democratic
convention in Omaha in 1890 reads as
follows:
Your favor just received. l expect
to attend the convention Mt Omaha and
am glad you are going. l Will try and
leave here at once. so that we can
get together and talk over the platform
before the convention. | have no doubt
we will agree on tariff opinions, but
| have been In much trouble over the
temperance plank. |, like you and the
great bulk of the party, am opposed to
prohibition. but thought as the Rcpub
licans took no stand on prohibition we
had better content ourselves with a dec
lnration against sumptuary legislation,
such as we usually have.
I'VE have number of men who Will
vote for the prohibitory amendment
They do not ask us to declare in favor
OF prohibition, but simply to do as the
Republicans have dopc-lcnvc 1t 10 each
individual to vote as he likes By de
claring against prohibition we will lose
n good many votes, while we will not
gain Republican votes. We tried that
last fall in this county: declared in SO
many words against prohibition. and
the saloons went solid against us.
Il wish | could see you before the
convention. Can't you come up here
Tuesday morning and go from here to
Omaha. and we can discuss all planks?
VIII draw up the plank you suggest.
Yours truly.

INsUREs AGAINST DEMOCRACY.
Big Wool Firm Fears Loss Should
Organism Prevail.

Sigmund SilberInan of the firm Of
Silberman Bros. dealers In raw wool,
Chicago. have offered a premium Of
$4,000 for a 100000 insurance policy
against the election of Bryan.
The firm Is one of the largest OF Its
kind in the west and handles annually
25,0OO,0OO pounds Of wool. The stock
being carried over election Is about 1O,-
100000 pounds.
1--WE could easily afford to pay the
large premium" said Mr.. Silberman,
for II Mr.. Taft is elected we can af-
ford it, and If Bryan is elected our
loss probably will be 100000. We
would lose at least l cent a pound of
we sold Immediately after his election
or If we held it six months 1t would
cost us cent a pound for storage and
care"
Mr. Silberman is Republican and Is
confident of Taft's election, but said
that his offer to pay 10 per cent
premium on policy maturing In less
than three weeks was entirely bust
ness proposition unaffected by his pO-
litical views.--Chicago Tribune.

Tai, Present. tho Facts.

Those who have been reading Mr..
Taft's speeches during the present cam
paign must have observed that the Re
publican Presidential candidate Illus
trates his argument continuously by the
citation of circumstantial evidence. He
Is not given to n fanciful, glittering
generality sort OF speechmaking. As
he himself has expressed 1t, he does not
float away into the cerulean blue.
He proves his statements with the care
of lawyer arguing case before Il
critical and discriminating judge.
In the speeches which he has been
delivering In Ohio this week he has
taken UP his own record while judge
of the United States district court upon
issues in which organized labor is in
terested. He claims that his act in
granting an injunction in what is
known as the Arthur case has been
not hindrance to trade e-unionism, but
has operated to the building up and
numerical increase of labor organiZa'
tions. In his speech at GAINESVILLE he
said:
Il only expressed what the law was
at that time, in an opinion which II
happened to me to formulate. Under
that opinion the trade-unions have
doubled in this country; they never
were in such prosperous state; the
American Federation of Labor has in
creased 100 per cent. The labor organ.
izations have never reached the point
of usefulness before that they now
have. They have never exercised the
useful influence or the power in pro
tecting their own interests before as
they have under the law as I laid II
down some ten or fifteen years ago.

Cur,.ilment Of work.

When he Bryan talks about curtail-
ing production he may think he Is aim
ing at big corporations, but what he is
really aiming at, whether conscious OF it
or not, is the workingmen. for curtail.
ment of output means cnrtaiiment OF
work and discharge of workingmen.
.Dismemberment of plants means pros
tration of business industry. On the
other hand, we have been making progress
in this country. We have had forceful
leadership. The people rule; they ruled
when they elected Mckinley and repu-
dated Bryan. They ruled four years ago
when they elected Theodore Roosevelt and
he has been forceful representative Of
the people ever since."--Governor Hughss

that in the attorney generals answer
to his first inquiry as to trust prosecu-

Among the prosecutions of the Demo

DEPOSIT GUARANTEE AT WORK.
Growth of Banks In Oklahoma Arc
BOOnicd by From Otcrs.

The purpose of the deposit guarantee
plan is to secure greater safety for de-
posits. But the business world wants
sound banks as well az safe deposits.
The failure OF the deposit guarantee to
meet the need of the business world,
and its contrary tendency to encourage
unsound banking, is evidenced in Okla
homa. where, since the guarantee law
went into effect, out Of seventy seven
banks organized, fortytwo started busi-
ness with but $4,000 capital. One pro-
moter is said to have planned the or
ganZation OF twelve more. No guaran-
tee Of deposits can Offset the danger OF
unsound banks. Even II insurance OF
deposits were all that is needed to per-
feet the banking system, 1t must be
recognized that no wise scheme of in
surance perpetratcs the folly of encour-
aging or permitting continued in

LOST ONLY BIG CASE.
Bryan Made Poor Showing Before
United States Supreme Court.

In letter to the New York World
New York lawyer punctures Mr.. Bry-
ans legal record rs follows:
mfr. Bryan's qualifications for high
executive Office must be inferred from
his record in the four lines of work in
which he has engaged-namely, those
OF lecturer, journalist, lawyer and colo
mel
"As II lecturer he Is certainly at least
the equal Of Mr.. Roosevelt. As jour
nalist he is probably the equal of Mr..
Wltterson or Mr. Hearst. In either
capacity he is probably the superior of
Mr.. Taft.
"As a lawyer he can best be judged
by his most famous case. This was the
Nebraska rate case. His State impos-
ed tariff of maximum rates upon the
railroads and hired him to defend 1t
in the Supreme Court. The case was
brought by persons interested In the
railroads against the officers OF the
State to get an injunction to prevent
the enforcement of the law. This rails
ed, Of course. the question whether
such an action Is not an action against
the State and therefore forbidden by
the eleventh amendment to the United
States Constitution. 1t Is the same
point which many Of the Western and
Southern States have been endeavoring
to make during the past year for the
purpose OF preventing injunctions
against their two-cent-fare laws.
'The Attorney General of Nebraska
took the point in this Nebraska rate
case, but Mr.. Bryan overlooked 1t when
he came to argue the case in the Su-
preme Court. He made no defense
against the injunction on this ground.
He was beaten in the case. and It's de-
cision has been the basis for the devel-
opment of the doctrine of interference
by the federal courts with rate legisla-
tion. II Mr.. Bryan We're President
would he be likely to get the nation
into difficulty by similar oversights!"
