candidate never seemed in better form.
From the opening to the close of his
remarks the great throng. by their
demonstrations of approval of his ut
terances, gave evidence of their en-
couragement and support. Mr.. Bryan
took note of this, and in his prelim-
mary remarks assured his immense
audience that. whether he was elected
president or not, he would feel abund-
antly repaid for all that he had been
able to do If down to the day of his
death he could retain the confidence
and affection of the American people.
Issues of the Campaign.

campaign, Mr.. Bryan declared that the
period had been reached in the history

Accorded Great Ovation.

Mr. Bryan's reception in New Jersey
was demonstrative one. At Washing
ton Park, on the New Jersey side of the
Delaware river, below Philadelphia, he
addressed more than 10000 persons, his
audience according him a great ova-
ton.
His speech of over an hour was fire.
quently Interrupted by cheers and
handclapping. A statement by him
that his nomination for a third time
after two defeats. with no president TO
help him with his patronage, was due
to the growth of the ideas for which
he stood, provoked the widest enthu-
siasm. His every utterance almost
was directed at Mr.. Taft. whom he
charged with running on the record of
President Roosevelt
En- route here Mr.. Bryan spoke a.
Camden and Burlington to great
crowds and shook hands with many
hundreds of persons. Incidentally he
again attacked T. Coleman Dupont OF
the Republican executive committee,
reiterating his former charges that Mr..
Dupont, as a trust magnate, was unfit
to occupy the position of attempting To
institute reforms. Along the line OF
travel from Camden here stops were
made at a dozen places, and large
crowds gave him an enthusiastic well
come.
Intense Enthusiasm.
Mr.. Bryan's speech in this city to-
night covered. much of the same ground
gone over during the day. Taylor
opera house, where he spoke here, was
crowded from pit TO dome. Seated on
the stage were a number of the mem
bers of the Democratic state commit
tee. including State Chairman James
r. Nugent. The meeting was intensely
enthusiastic and contained many Dem
ocrats who had been opposed to Mr.
Bryan in his former campaigns
Mr.. Bryan left on late train fol-
Rochester. travelling by Jersey City
where he will make a brief stop in the
morning.

Too Hot for Taft.

Cincinnati. O.. Sept. 15-Candidate Will
liam Howard Taft today declined to go
farther with Mr.. Bryan IN a newspaper
controversy over the issues of the cam
paign.
There is nothing in Mr.. Bryan's state
ment of today which seems to require an
answer. Should it appear so later, I will
take up the subject in my public
speeches"
This was Mr. Taft's ultimatum. as he
expressed a willingness that Mr.. Bryan
should have the last word of comment on

Chewawa river recently while attempt
ing to ford the stream. Owing to the
late melting of the snow in the noun
tains the water was high and very
swift. The team driven by Joe Massie,
who was accompanied by his wife,
houndered in the water and one horse
went down. Massie had to jump into
the stream and hold up the animals
head to keep it from drowning. Mrs.
Massie, being left alone in the wagon,
became frightened and jumped over
board. She would have drowned had
not Dan Ryan and John Miller, who

soaking, which they felt could be we'll

thize with fatherless and homeless

NATIONAL FOREST REVENUE
One-F Ourth Will Be Donated to State Road
and School Funds

If proof had been wanting that the
national forest was being conserved for
the present as we'll as the future bene-
fit Of the people the following circular
recently issued from the forestry de-
partment should convince all fair mind
ed readers that an honest effort is be-
ing made to conduct this important
department of the government on just
lines. Following is the circular re-
fered to:
In addition to the benefits secured
by fire protection and by regulations
which control the use of timber land
and range so as to insure permanent
supplies for local wants, the states hav-
ing national forests now receive, under
the new agricultural appropriation bill,
Is per cent of the gross proceeds de-
rived from the sale OF national forest re-
sources. This amount, according to
law, goes to offet any losses to the
states through withdrawal of forest area
from taxation, and is devoted to public
roads and schools.
Several years ago complaints were
made that the withdrawal OF timber
lands for forest purposes reduced the
taxable area of the states in which with
drawals were made. The forest service,
quick to see the justice of these com
plants, recommended at first that 10
per cent, and later that Is per cent, of
the gross proceeds from the national
forests should be paid to the states.
AS result the states are assured of
school and road funds, doubtless more
certainly than they otherwise could
have been, since the permanence OF
the forest resources is now secured by
conservative management. Had the
forests never been established their re-
sources would undoubtedly have been
exhausted by hasty and improvident
methods of exploitation, leaving the
land wasted and unproductive.

Magistrate Taylor has had a some
what strenuous week up to last Tues
day. On Saturday he had the Gerick
brothers, James and Enoch, contractors
on the G. N. electric plant, before him.
James on the charge of assault and
Enoch for hourishing a deadly weapon.
Both complaints were made on the aft
davit OF a former employee by the name
of Pullman, who also made complaint
of threats, and asked to have the
brothers put under bond to preserve
the peace. The court discharged both
defendants and held that the evidence
was not sufficient to put them under
bond to preserve the peace.
Complaint was made against George
Briskey last week, charging him with
obstructing public road. The trial
came on Monday and resulted in a
conviction and fine Of 81 and costs.
To complete the days work the
magistrate fined two plain DRINKS IS
each, with the admonition to 60 and
sin no more.
Almost the entire day Tuesday was
consumed in the trial OF John f. Fraud
on charge of criminal trespass, result
ing in conviction and fine of IS and
costs.
Prosecuting Attorney Grass spent
Saturday, Monday and Tuesday here
and took a demented man to the
county seat, where he is to be tried on
the charge of lunacy.
