Early Picture of Bryan.

In 1890 the NebraSkanS understood
Mr.. Bryan when they elected him to
congress in a big republican district.
In 1892 the country saw in him man
of rare eloquence. Today he is recog-
nized as the foremost private citizen
in the world. Those who disagreed
with him in his views in 1896 and who
did not understand him, now realize
that he is man of whom all America
is proud. History shows that Frank
Leslie's Weekly of Aug. Z, 1892, under
stood Mr.. Bryan when it printed in
that issue the following article
Not all the men who were brought
to the front in politics by the popular
revolution of 1890 have justified the ex-
pectations of their supporters; some,
indeed, who were elevated to important
positions have proved miserable fail
ures, and will very speedily be rele-
gated to the obscurity out of which
they were lifted. But there are some
among the new men who were project
ed into congress by that upheaval who
have demonstrated genuine capacity,
and are likely to impress themselves
upon the legislation and policy of their
time"
Among those is Hon. William ]. Bry,
an of Nebraska, who was elected to
congress on the platform of tariff re.
form by phenomenal majority in a
strong republican district and has
since attained. by a single speech, a
commanding position in the house
Mr.. Bryan, who is SO years of age, is
a man of fine appearance. of indomita
Bile purpose and solid intellectual quail
tiles. which make him a dangerous an
tagonist. He IS la&yeE,by profession
and is assisted in the preparation Ct
cases by his young wife, who studied
law and was admitted to the bar in
order that she might make herself
more truly his helpmeet.''

Present Week in Politics.

Politics will continue to occupy the
center of the stage during the present
week The strenuous tour of Mr..
Bryan through the middle west will
be continued, and Mr.. Taft likewise
has an itinerary mapped out for the
week that will keep him exceedingly
busy. Mr. Chain, the prohibition
candidate. and Mr.. Hisgen, the choice
of the independence party for presi-
dent, will cover wide stretches of ter.
ritory.
Neither will there be any letup of
the energetic campaign on the part
of the leading spellbinders of both
the older parties. John w. Kern. the
democratic vice presidential candi.
date. will make week of speech
making in the south Atlantic states.
Governor Hughes. in behalf of the
republican national campaign. will de.
vote the entire week to the trans

Digest what you eat. Then you can
Eat what you like

You once could eat anything you
wanted, and your stomach would
digest it.
But now there's some things
which your stomach won't digest.
Your stomach absolutely refuses to
accommodate you when you eat
certain food-so you have been
forced by your stomach to eat food
which you detested. and pass up
those delicacies that you would
have really enjoyed.
There is a way now to eat any
thing you like, if you will let Ko-
dol digest it.
Kodol will do this, too. 1t won't
talk back or command, but will go
right ahead with it's work and d.
gest all the food you eat. kodol
will let you eat anything you like
and all you want. and you won't
suffer with that dull feeling, that
fullness, and wish you hadn't eaten
so much.
You will not have that heartburn.
which is so annoying at Hines, if
you will let Kodol digest your food

You don't have to use Kodol long
only for a little while-just long
enough for your stomach to rest
a little. 1t gets tired sometimes.

Executive Indifference.

Chicago Journal: There is abundant
evidence throughout the testimony be
fore the special legislative committee
which investigated the state institu-
tions of the utter Indifference shown
by Governor Deneen regarding the ad
ministration of those Institutions.
One of the witnesses examined by
the committee was John Wagner, for
merly one of the trustees of the asy.
lum for feeble minded at Lincoln. Mr.
Wagner, finding that conditions were
not what they should be, suggested
some changes with a view TO improv.
ing matters. OF course he met with
Opposition from the officials RESPONSE
BILE for the conditions, and these men
had the ear of the governor.
In regard to this the report of the
committee says: at appears from the
Testimony of Wagner. the president OF
the board that he was thwarted in his
efforts, snubbed by his subordinates
and insulted by his superior, the ex.
ecutive. of whom he had a right to ex
poet, and did expect, aid in carrying
on the institution in accordance with
the spirit of the law, the teachings OF
business experience, and the dictates
|of conscience and humanity
Apprised of the mismanagement and
the abuses at the asylum for feeble
minded children, Governor Deneen in
suited the official whose duty it was tC
give him the information. Instead OF
promptly instituting an investigation
the governor manifested no interest in
the matter. He was satisfied with the
Representations of his political adher
ents at the asylum and made no eff
fort to ascertain whether or not these
were truthful Not until the legisla
Tive committee began it's investigation
were the bad conditions at the asylum
corrected
This is but one example of the per
sistent Indifference shown by the gov
ernor respecting the administration O
state institutions. How mattered it t.
him how these non-voting public
| charges were treated. so long as hi:
political henchmen were well caret
for and the machine secure and work
ing smoothly. -
