speaker at the big outing of the
Harvard graduates of the class of

Gov. johnson has a decided

properly supplement Mr.. Bryan's
candidacy, as he has been put for

Worries of Modern Life,

Nowadays we must not drink spirits
nor eat meat; we must not smoke;
the air Of cities Is poisonous, the air
Of the country too strong; the light
ruins our eyes and the noise racks our

collecting microbes and kissing Is pure
suicide. Life is indeed growing dull

2 were plated into lots facing toward
said square. One of the proprietors
of the townsite had active charge
of the sale of lots therein and he
represented to prospective purchas-
ers that such square was and would
remain a public park. Plaintiffs in
reliance thereon and also upon like
representations made by one G, who
was also partner in such townsite
enterprise, purchased lots fronting on
said square and made valuable inn
provements thereon.
Held, that said acts and represen-

dedication of such block as a public

Held, further, that defendants are
estopped by reason of such acts and
representations to deny that said

contest between the four aspirants
for the Office of United States sena-

The combined forces of three candi-
