A Truthful Endorsement

The Nebraska state democratic plat
form endorses Bryan and its followers
are out for him strong. The following
is part of the endorsement, which is
mighty good and original:
1.-The democratic party will name a
man for president who would rather
live on farm at Fairview than to be
president owned and controlled by
special interests; man who would
rather go down to defeat in the third
battle than to mortage his party before
election; man who for twelve years
has been oak and rock to the demo-
cratic party. He is democracy's choice
-Democracy's hope. They tell US that
he has been defeated twice. Twice de-
feated, he has convinced the world that
he is right; twice defeated, he has con-
WINGED the world that he is worthy to
be president; twice defeated he has
forced republican president to turn
his back upon the republican party and
to take his stand upon democratic
platform"

LAUNCHED THE NEW AUTHOR.
Magazine Writer Tells of the "Dis-
covery" of Bret Harte.

A copy of the Overland Monthly had
fallen into my hands, and 1 was ex-
ceedingly interested In a sketch, 1.-THE
Luck of Roaring Camp" by an author
whose name had never before heard.
I asked Mr.. Fields to read 1t. and he
cared more for it even than I-being
much older ind wiser-and he very
soon dictated a letter to Mr.. Harte,
begging him to send something to the
Atlantic (whose editors, SO far as /
have known them, have always
anxiously watched for promising new
authors).
The reply, which came in due time,
l think, not only expressed a willing
ness to become a contributor. but
spoke Of the writer's probable depar.
ture from California cannot say
how long It was before the Harte fam
lily reached Boston and became the
guests OF Mr.. Eowens In Cambridge.
/ only know that 1t was the time when
every man was quoting, from THE
Heather Chinee," and generally carry
ing the verses in his pocketbook.
There was. thought, a good deal of
curiosity felt about the Office as to the
sort OF man the suddenly popular
author would prove to be. He was
found good looking (and exceedingly
well dressed), extremely self-pos-
sessed, with a gracefully friendly and
even affectionate manner to the new
business and literary acquaintance of
his own age in the establishment, with
whom he speedily became intimate

WILL HAVE NO MORE TROUBLE

+ 0. G. Seymour, assistant manager of
the Wisconsin Telephone Co., of Mil
waukee. and j. L. Quinlan, of Green
Bay, who is also with the Wisconsin
company, were in the city yesterday.
They were in trouble. The long dis
lance lines of their company were on
poles on which run the Wausau Elec-
trio and Wausau Street Railroad
Co.'s lines. This has caused the Wis
consin company so much trouble, from
induction, that it was found necessary
to make some arrangements to secure
good service.
Satisfactory plans were finally made
by the Wisconsin company purchasing
one-half interest in the Wausau Tele-
phone Co.'s line from Sturgeon Eddy
road to Schofeld. The Wisconsin
Co.'s long distance lines will be shifted
on the Wausau Telephone Co.'s poles
as soon as possible, which will do away
with the trouble which now exists.

An idea Worth While.

We suggest that the democratic edi-
tors of the state get together and form
an association, defensive to such an ex-
ent as may appear to be necessary,
but primarily offensive designed to pro-
mote the fortunes of the democratic
party in many ways which will occur
to them after they begin to think about
it.
If there is any advantage in assembly
and the interchange of ideas, as there
essuredly is, then such an association
should be formed.
If large number of the editors of the
state were banded together under an
intelligent head, their efforts both in
the editorial and business fields might
be much. more effectively directed than
is now the case.
We submit the idea with the recon-
mendation that it be given earnest at
tention. Any man as intelligent as the
average editor of newspaper can find
a good deal in this idea if he will give
his attention to it and dig for a while.

How to Be ROYAL

Many people pretend to sheer at the
affectation Of Americans for titles.
but for the life of us we can see moth
ing wrong about it, and it is certainly
cheaper for a woman to pay $500 and
get one of her own than it is to buy
one with husband attached for two
or three millions. 1t is natural. It is
human, to want to believe that you
are little more royal than the fam
lily In the next fiat; and until this
country gets something equally as
good, something that sounds as good.
the heraldic experts will keep right
on creating princes and Processes. OF
course, this perfectly legitimate and
even commendable liking for titles
can be carried too far; any saleslady
can tell you that; 1t is better to dwell
In poverty in a mere palace with
comparatively obscure earl and dine
on mere cut glass and silver, with
everything regular and a marriage
certificate framed in the parlor, than
1t is to be the plaything of a royal
duke, even If he does wear waistcoats
of solid gold and dine off of rubies
and pearts.-Don Marquis in Uncle
Remus' Magazine.

they had gained much information con-
corning the teeth.
Last Saturday in the Y. NJ. c. A.
gymnasium, three of our boys basket
ball teams met three of the Franklin
teams in some evenly matched games.
A number of the pupils from rooms A,

SAVED MERCHANT FROM RUIN.
Word from J. p. Morgan Brought
Needed Financial Help.

A Washington treasury official who
has just returned from New York tells
a story illustrative of the effort of j.
Pierpont Morgan, the New York finan-
oier, to stop the financial depression.
A Jewish manufacturer had been
on credit. His notes fell due early
In November, and he went to a bank
to get them renewed. Though he had
been a large depositor and was known
to be a man of scrupulous honesty,
the bank declined to grant him an ex-
tension, insisting that he should pay
his notes on the day they fell due.
This was impossible, and bankruptcy
stared him in the face, He went to a
friend and asked him what he
should do
mo bank will loan you cent" said
his adviser. II have it. Go to Mr..
Morgan and state your case to him. y
'oh, he won't do anything for me, -
the manufacturer responded hopeless.
ly. But I'll try, anyhow"
Mr.. Morgan received him courteous
ly and listened to his statement. Then
he turned to his phone and rang up
the bank.
MIR. So and So is in my Office" he
said, and tells me you have declined
to grant him an extension of his notes.
1t is just such people as you who are
making the condition serious. Unless
those notes are renewed, 1 shall make
IL my business to ruin you"
Then the financier eurned to his
caller.
Il think" he said, you will find the
bank willing to extend your notes.

ONE of the most appalling disasters
that ever occurred in our country was
that OF the burning of the CollinwoOd
school house on Wednesday morning,
March 4th, in which 165 little children
lost their lives. Collinwood is a suburb
of Cleveland, Ohio, and it is now
thought the fire was started by three
little girls, and it may have come from
an overheated furnace. There were a
number of things combined which
resulted in the awful loss of life. AS
soon as the fire was discovered, the
scholars in each room were dismissed;
this happened simultaneously, and all
started at once for the exits. The halls
were narrow. One became blocked
with falling children, the back door
was locked and all doors opened
inwardly and once in the Railways the
children were penned in, they crowded
mp against the closed doors and could
do nothing but wait for the fire to
consume them. The buildine s
practically new one and was
any sense firetrap with the exc,
that the doors opened inwardly, u
this was enough to condemn any GA .
who had anything to do with tn
schools of that town. The buildin,
was built of brick and was two storie
and an attic; was heated by q furnace
and provided with fire escape. Fire
drills had been frequent, but each time
the front door had been used. The
furnace was 10 the front of the base
ment and when the little ones reached
the foot Of the stairway and saw the
flames, they we're panic-stricken. The
pressure of those behind, crowded those
in front against the door SO that il
could not be opened and this was where
the most of the les children met their
death. There were upwards of 400
children in the building and many
made their escape from windows and
the fire escape. The details of this
awful holocaust are heartreuding in the
extreme, I'll the more for the reason
that the victims were little child ZEN.
Every school house in the land is aow
going through q thorough inspection.
The work should not stop with school
houses, but those who have the
authority should look after theaters,
churches, factories and all institutions
where disastrous fires might occur
with great loss of life.
