BY United Press Leased Special Wire
LINCOLN. Neb.. july 26.-Wilham Jen-
nings Bryan to-day sent invitations to
half a dozen big Democratic business
men-men who have not Ia the past been

men, to visit him during the next week at
Lincoln and then TO meet with him in
Chicago on July 25 when he VIII be there.
lie seeks advice from these men as to a
campaign manager.
This question Is perplexing one to
him. The active workers want one of their
number chosen. When asked to-day to re-
veal the identity Of the men with whom
he wants to confer he explained that he
cannot do 80 at this time.
Bryans visit to Chicago on July 25,
while ostensibly to meet with the Demo-
cratic National Committee and to con-
fer as to the new officers Of that body, Is
really TO counteract any influence the
National Convention Of the Hearst follow
ers, which Is TO be held two days later,
may have. In explaining this a source
close to the commoner said to-day:
mr. Bryan realizes that most OF the
i'o"I9l ammunition III lhe cunning cuh-
paign will be directed against himself.
The so-called independence party will try
20 draw all Of its strength from our ranks
but you will find that when he is in Chi
cago prior 10 this National Convention
Bryan viii answer most Of the questions
raised by its candidates later in the cam
paign. 1t can be announced positively
that Bryan win make a real spellbinding
tour Of the east and the doubtful states
to this end"
1t is known he plans series Of dra-
matte speeches that will cover the very
localities where votes are most needed
The early part Of to-day the candidate
devoted to catching up on his correspond
ence.

TIE
General Dem and

Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable TO the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with it's ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the ell-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

However nothing of this kind fortu-

and the party after walking through

Then they walked up some distance,
found a high point, and Mr.. Ayers

But another difficulty confronted the
commissioners. One of the oarlocks of

the commissioners would have had a
hard time to get back to the launch

safety.

1nen the IauruS was boarded from
the launch after a short run and the
trip was made back to Wilmington
without incident. The inner man on
the trip was looked after by the famous

OPPOSED TO REWARD,
WANTS DETECTIVES

CHESTER, Pa. July 16.-District
Attorney Albert Dutton MacDade. in a
strong address 10 the finance commit
tee Of Councils last night advised that
body not to offer rewards for the ap-
prehension Of the people responsible
for the placing of explosives on the
tracks Of the Chester Traction Com
pany but strongly advised that skilled
detectives be employed 20 run down
the men who have been causing the
trouble.
Mr. MacDade's contention to the
committee was that the offering Of
rewards often hampers the work OF
the authorities, as arrests follow which
nine cases out Of ten do not have any
result
1t was Mayor D. NJ Johnson who ad-
vised the finance committee TO offer a
reward The recommendation OF the
mayor was referred TO the chairman Of
the finance committee.

AMERICANS WIN
TWO MORE EVENTS
Take Discus Throw and Shot
Put in the Olympic
Contests

LONDON, July 16-By making a
clean sweep in. the discus throwing
event and taking first and thIrd in the
shot put, the American team made
good its boast to materially lessen the
gap between its total and that Of Eng
land before to-day's program was COM
pleted.

American A. c., and Ralph Rose, of
the Olympic Club. Of San Francisco.

two flrsts, the former throwing the
discus Ia feet 3-4 inches two inches
and three quarters above his former
record, and the latter throwing the
shot 46 feet 1-2 inches, beating the
record Of 46 feet ! 1-2 inches.
Oddly enough, Sheridan failed to
win first honors in bis sectional throw.

NJ. II. Gihin. Of the Chicago A. A.,
and NJ. f. Horr, of the Irish-Anerican
team, were second and third in the
discus and added their four points to
the five that Sheridan annexed.
The victory of America in the shot
put puts them temporarily on a par
with England in the number of firsts
accredited to each four, but shortly
following this event England again
took the lead in the number Of firsts
through the victory Of Taylor in the
400 metre swim. Besides the broken
record in the discus the Olympic mark

TAFT TO PATCH
PEACE In OHIO
Congressman Burton and
Former Governor HerriCk
May Enter Senatorial Race

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Close
friends Of Judge Taft who have talked
with him since the Ohio senatorial ST.
uation began TO approach its present
acuteness, are convinced that the en-
trance of both Representative Theodore
Burton and former Governor Myron
Herrick as contestants for Senator
Forakers seat would be the salvation
Of the Taft electoral ticket in the Buck
eye state
With Burton and Herrlck both in
the race, Judge Taft would announce
that he would not possibly choose ba-
tween two such loyal supporters and
would then withdraw his personal
friends from the fight against Foraker.
In return for this, it can be stated
that the Foraker followers would vote
for Taft's choice instead of continuing
the work on Foraker. Taft has been
laying the groundwork for peace be-
tween the factions. His letter thank
ing Senator Foraker for his congratu-
lations on the nomination in which he
referred to the senator as having gotten
him his first job in public life touched
a chord that responded with warmth
Senator Dick who stood loyalty by Sem
ator Foraker in his fight against Judge
TAFT, has ben offered a prominent po-
sition in the coming campaign and ac-
cept unless the senatorial situation
forbids his doing so
The ambitions Of Representative Bur
ton and Governor Herrlck TO come TO
the Senate are ola stories in Wasn-
ington The Cleveland congressman has
never forgiven Senator Dick for taking
the senatorship left vacant by Sena-
4
est city. He believes that his Ionx
service in the house entitled him to
the qualification Of the ambition OF a
lifetime. The maneuvres OF ex-Gov-
ernor Herrick for the senatorship have

J.. A.. Scott, a prosperous farmer
east of town is putting out 400
trees. They are fruit shade and
evergreens. He is one of the most,
enthusiastic and progressive farm
ers we have in the county and be-
lieves in adding all the attraction
to home possible and there is GER
tainly nothing that a add more
to the appearance of things around
a farm house than trees Of various
kinds. If the farmers Of Quay
county would plant fruit and shade
trees, all they can afford, it will be
only a few years until the country
will be a veritable forest OF fruit
and shade trees like the Pecos
Valley which IS years ago was Just
beginning this industry. On the
advent Of the railroad to Carlsbad,
then Eddy, along the Pecos river.
IS years ago there was little to be
seen that was inviting to n com.
ing out OF a country where there
were woods and cultivated farms,
and now it is a paradise of alfalfa
and fruit farms with shade trees
everywhere. We can have the
same thing here in Quay county ii
the settler will simply get the
idea into his head that he is here
to stay and is going to improve a
home as he goes. If we do our
part the good things will follow
along just as they have in every
other section of the United States
where brains and industry have
combined for the betterment OF
the human family. All the irriga-
ton a rec needs is just water
enough to get the roots set and
then they grow Just as thrifty as
an oak in the Ozarks. And trees
that have been set here this spring
will need no irrigation as the rain
fall this month will bridge them
over nicely. 1t is raining all over
Quay county today and the ground
is too wet to pillow. SO 1t us em-
ulate the example OF Scott and
others who are building homes
that are going to be attractive as
we'll as productive.
