Plans For the Tippecanoe Monume Mt.

Members Of the Indiana Tippecanoe
battlefield monument commission met
the other day with Governor Hanly
to discuss plans for the monument
which is to be erected on the battle
field by the state and the United States
Jointly. The commission decided to
meet again April II. at which time de-
signs and estimates will be received
and considered. The last legislature
appropriated $l2.500 for the building
Of the monument. and like sum has
been appropriated by the United States
government. The legislature OF 1887
provided for an annual appropriation
of $500 to take care Of the Tippecanoe
battlefield. 1t Is likely that the next
legislature will be asked to increase
this appropriation in order that the
monument may be maintained prop
erly.

FLORIDA'S BOY SENATOR.
How w. J. eryan's sloquenee Helped
Him From Being Put OFF a Train.

How w. j. Bryan's Eloquenee Helped
Him From Being Put of Train.
United States Senator William James
Bryan of Jacksonville, Fla, who re-
Gently died at Washington. was a stu
dent at Emory college. in Atlanta.
where he was graduated in 1896 along
with DR. Troy Bivings and Ernest Hail
man OF Atlanta.
While not In the same class. George
ID. Lowe of Atlanta. editor OF the
Southern Trade Press, formed close
friendship with the hoy senator at
Emory and has IN the intervening
years watched his progress In the legal
and political world with great deal
of interest.
In speak king of the recent honor con-
ferred upon Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Lowe said
that Bryan was the best balanced man
for his years that he ever knew, and
he was sure that he would make his
mark in the senate, for, although he
was young In years, he had an old head
on his body and an extraordinary
mind.
"ln addition to his great mind and
balance he had a boundeSs gift of elo-
quencc" said Mr.. Lowe. When he
WAS at Emory he was the champion
dehater and spoke on all special occa.
sions. delivering addresses that sur
,,ria al Ia, i'm, "a
sophomore he was not sophomore and
was free from bombastic utterances.
Judge John W. Akin heard him speak
at one time and remarked afterward
Bryan is the most finished speaker for
his years that | have ever heard and
the Judge. a great orator himself. knew
one when he heard him.
Il shall never forget the ends to
which Bryan used his gift. and one of
the most remarkable was that in pre-.
venting himself from being put off a
southern train by conductor. He was
ut Emory then and wanted to 90 to his
home at kiSsimmee for the holidays
The Cotton States exposition was just
over in Atlanta, and he purchased a
scalper's ticket cheap and got aboard
train. When the conductor came
around collecting tickets he told Bryan
that his wouldn't do and that he would
| have TO put him off the train.
"Whereupon, with tears in his eyes
the young orator got up on his seat
and related in his eloquent manner to
the car full of passengers his trials
and fluctuations. how he did not have
any money and couldn't get any aud
how badly he wanted to 90 home and
see the folks, and So moved their hearts
with pity that they hustled the CON
| ductor from the car and swore that no
! official. no matter Of how high rank
could prevent Bryan from continuing
| on his tourney. And he went home"

SENSATION IN DUELS.
Medical Students Challenge Christian
Scientists to One With Germs.

scientists to One With Germs.
c. +. MeiXell and Robert G.. Lang.
students in the Baltimore Medical col.
legc, have challenged followers of
Christian Science to a duel to the death
with a pure tested culture of Strepto-
coccus pyogenes. The germ to be used
is considered deadly. The challengers
propose to be inoculated with it if two
followers of Christian Science will do
likewise. In their challenge Meixell
and Lang say:
We are perfectly willing in order to
demonstrate the fallacy of the doc
trines of Christian Scientists to allow
ourselves TO be inoculated with pure
tested culture of Streptococcus pyo-
genes, provided any two followers of
the faith do the same We are to RELY
upon medicinal treatment and our
Christian Science friends upon their
mode of treatment for relief. 1t seems
TO us that Il test fair and square is the
only means to prove or disprove the
value and properties of medicinal treat
ment or the foollshness and fallacy of
the faith cure"

TO RI CONTINUED.

Onr Grardmoihers used to get let
of old nails, place them in vessel con-
tanning vinegar aud allow them to TT
main until the acrtic acid IN the vinegar
produced an iron solution. This cou-
coctlon was then taken by nearly every
member Of the family during the Spring
and Fail aud it rarely ever failed to
strengthen and benefit the person tax
ing it. The old way WAS good but
there is new way that is far better.
Science has discovered a way to manu-
tacture Iron SO that it can be dissolved
in syrupS and eixirs and give in def
mite doses. One of the best and suIest
ways to take Iron is in Rydale's Tonic.
This remedy is combination of Iron.

Much Of Old Populists' Strength.
A movement which already has very
respectable proportions is on foot to
launch a third party in national poll
tics on principles broader and in some
respects less extreme than those of the
now almost extinct Populists. The
center of the movement is Philadel.
phia, and Wharton Barker. who in
1900 was a candidate for president on
the Populist ticket. is its principal d.
recting spirit.
Much quiet work looking toward the
organization of the party has been
done in all parts OF the United States.
The party will be called American"
and its platform of principles has been
prepared in a form closely following
that of the Declaration of Independ-
ence of 1776. 1t is said that the lead
ers have received assurances that prac-
tically all Of the Populist strength will
come to it.

the charge Of using black jack. One
of his victims could not appear and the

srose over some lace curtains belonging

taken for her use. Tom said Ia hits
defense that the victim cursed aud
abused him and said the Gail did not

company had reached in his pocket
for something and he said the "Dight
