Exposition in Cincinnati. and dedi

.BRfAN'S APPEAL
MEETS FAVOR
FARMERS RESPOND TO REQUEST
FOR FUNDS FOR DEMOCRAT.
&c CAMPAIGN.

: FAlRVIEW. Lincoln, Neb.. July 20.
THE appeal of W. ]. Bryan to the
farmers Of the country for campaign
contributions is bearing Euit Today
number of responses were received.
the sums enclosed varying in amount.
Two old, retired farmers from Omaha
one aged SO and the other 20. prefer
! ed to deliver their contributions in
person. They hobbled up the pathway
to Fairview and each placed in the
hands of Mr.. Bryan a So. bill.
An appeal by Mr.. Bryan to the Dem,
ocratic newspapers of the country to
begin the collection of funds for the
campaign was one of the important
happenings of the day.
Il wish every Democratic paper
would begin the collection of fund
from its own subscribers. There are
very few Democrats who could not af
ford to make small contribution and
the people will never be able to con-
troll the government until they take
on themselves the burden of supply
ing campaign funds As long as a
few men furnish the money to finance
a campaign the men will exert an I'M
due influence upon the government.
1T seems that we have reached the
end of corporate contributions and
this is step in advance, but the indi-
yiduals who control these favor-seek-
ing corporations may still dominate
politics by furnishing the sinews of
war The Democratic party has
struck at this system by limiting con-
ributions TO $4,000 and providing for
before the election.
The Republican party has, so far,
'efused to join with us on this prop
,sition, but public sentiment may yet
compel it to do so. Ihave 40 doubt
hat the Democratic party will re-
GIVE contributions from more individ.
als than ever contributed to any
and there is no reason why
he entire sum necessary should not
e supplied by contributions from the
lasses.
If every Democratic paper will
axe the matter up and lend a help
lg hand we will soon have money
nough in the treasury to provide for
sgitimate campaign work and that
all We want"

BEGINS A FIGHT
FOR BIG FORTUNE
HEIRS OF JAMES HOLT WILL TRY
TO BREAK WILL.-MlLLIONS
INVOLVED.

FRANKFORT, KY, July 21.-The
natural heirs of James A. Holt, who
left an estate valued at about half a
million dollars, have filed a contest
of the will by him and will make
every effort to have the document set
aside. The grounds of the contest
are that the aged man did not know
the extent or value of his estate and
did not know the natural objects of
his bounty. The case contesting the
will is an appeal from the probate of
the will and suit in equity to have
certain devices of the will to a lodge
in Jeffersonville declared void
1t will be remembered that James
A. Holt, somewhat eccentric old
man, who had accumulated a large
fortune, some twenty-five years slice
bought what is known as the Todd
farm, a very valuable one, consisting
of between zoo and 500 acres of blue
grass land, and around which there
was an unbroken line Of stone fence,
erected by Harry l. Todd at a time
when he was Jesse of the prison la |
Dor. 1t is said of Mr.. Holt that when |
he came to Franklin county he de-
clared it his intention never to buy |
anything from or sell anything to
Franklin county people, and that he
made vow that there should never
tut spring of bluegrass from any of
his area of woodland pasture.
