Crushed by the Boat.
AS soon as the gangplank was run out
passengers crowded upon it. Capt. Jo-

the gangplank was new and capable of
supporting heavy weight.
Two hundred excursionists had gone
ashore when the boat listed from the
weight of passengers on the pier side.
The steamers lurch shifted the gang

by the current, snapped the plank in two.
More than twenty passengers were on

LINCOLN, Neb August 3. 1908
Lincoln has been popularity referred to
in the past twelve years or more as
organs town. but that designation was
never correctly applied as right now
This year is the first since Mr.. Bryan's
political career became one Of national
prominence that the people Of Lincoln. his
nome city. ever made any particular
fuss" over the peerless one Lincoln and
Lancaster county have been noted for
several decades as a republican strong
held. and only small bunch OF democrats
who somehow strayed into the city, has
acted as a committee on applause for the
great commoner whom the rest of the
country has delighted to honor for a num-
Der of years. Bryan has resided here
continuously and this has been his home,
but it has not been "Bryan's town. by
several guesses.
But this year it is different To many
people in Lincoln and vicinity there Is
nothing to it but William Jennings BRYAN

His Neighbors Smiled.

When William Jennings BRYAN in 1905
carried the democratic convention in
Chicago by storm with his "cross of
gold and crown Of thorns" Grafton. his
neighbors in Lincoln were astonished at
the idea Of his selection. Many smiled
broadly, while others less considerate
naW-haWed right out loud at the idea
1t Was good joke. Why. Bryan couldn't
even carry his own town or county In
1900 a few sleeves were filled with mirth
IN these parts over Bryan's selection
for the second time to lead the demo-
cratic hosts to victory. but Lincoln's
distinguished citizen did not appear go
much of joke as four years previously
Nevertheless, when the voters of the
city went to the polls they had nothing
but the sour fruit of Sicily for neighbor
BRYAN.
However. Mr. Bryan continued to grow
in popularity with the people Of this
and other countries. and it finally dawn
ed upon the 1incolnites that they had
been bit tardy in recognizing the pres
ence ofsa great parsonage among them.
and sentiment began to change toward
the peerless one. Today even the re-
liam Jennings Bryan. and some Of the
most prominent members of that party
have proclaimed their intention to vote
for him this fall because he is a neigh
Dor. a fellow-citizen and because Ne is
Bryan. Where in 1896 and 1900 there
could be found only a few scattered pic
lures Of Mr.. Bryan displayed in the win
dows of the city, today his Autographed
features are smiling benignly from the
windows of hundreds of business
houses as we'll AS in nearly all the
dwelling houses all over the city, and
republicans as we'll as democrats de-
light to do their distinguished fellow
citizen that much honor.

PARTY Fences Broken Down.

One lifelong republican who was at
one time speaker in the state house of
repres entatives has declared his inten-
ton Of voting for Bryan. and a number
of prominent business men, also repub-
licans. have expressed similar intentions.
further declaring that they believe every
man in Lincoln should do likewise.
prominent official of one of the larg-
est corporations in the city, and man
who has always voted the republican
ticket stated to The Stars correspondent
that the propose to help elect Mr.. Bryan
this fall. This voter objected to the atti-
tude of the republicans with regard to
financial legisla ton. Il would prefer cur
rency issued with the farmers wheat.
corn and oats behind it, as Bryan and the
populists advocated in 1885, he said, Ito
the currency issued on railroad and other
bonds as security, as Wall street would
have It,"
One reason for the change in sentiment
locally toward Bryan is perhaps that the
people of Lincoln are grateful to him for
putting their town on the map. AS the
home of the great commoner. Lincoln
has become known all over the world, and
the citizens realize that Mr.. Bryan did it.
Then too there has been an awakening
of home pride, and the residents are be-
ginning to recognize what an honor 1t
would be to have fellow-citizen as Presi-
dent of the United States. But probably
attitude toward Mr.. Bryan is that he has
simply loved his way into the hearts of
his neighbors and home friends, and re-
CARELESS of political differences they want
to see him succeed.
Republicans to Fight, Too.
OF course when the campaign begins to
warm up and the republicans send their
spellbinders into the city and state urging
republicans to party loyalty there may be
a change, and the voters may rally
around the Taft and Sherman banner.
which, by the way, the republican state
central committee has again stretched
across the principal business street after
1t had been cut from it's fastenings sew
eral weeks ago. But the people here
know Mr. Bryan and they have grown
very fond of him. and they do not know
Mr.. Taft very well. and there have been
expressions to the effect that they do not
care to know Mr.. Sherman any better
than they do now. Sherman as running
mate for Taft has not engendered any siZ-
zling enthusiasm for the national republi-
can ticket hereabouts. Certain it is that
If Mr.. Bryan carries this city or this state
it will be by the aid of many republican

For many years past chrome mining

thousand feet high, and is removed

and camels But while chrome in the
