The Bryans at Home.

The Bryan family lives today In
handsome house called Fairview
on a farm OF about so acres three
and a half miles from the city OF
Lincoln.
The county assessor assessed this
property this year at $S4,5OO, and
the rule Is that assessments are made
at about three-quarters OF the real
value. In 1896, when Bryan was
first nominated for the presidency,
he was probably not worth more than
he has made by lecturing, writing
and by publishing the Commoner.
The house % imposing In appear
ance, built of pressed brick and
stone, with spacious verandas and
porches and wide lawns all around.
The interior Il comfortable. even
luxurious, but there is no splen lor
or garlshness and the effect upon
entering Is one of hospitality. There
is fine barn and stable and the
paddocks and stalls are well stocked
with blooded cattle, high bred
horses and prize poultry.
Mr.. Bryan's pair of black carriage
horses, have few rivals In the west.
They are fast and their action Is
beautiful. His enemies once charged
that the harness OF these horses was
gold mounted, thereby lnslnuating
that FIR. Bryan was becoming n plu-
tocrat. The charge was baseless, for
MFR. Bryan Is true TO silver in the
mountings OF his harness II not in
his speeches.
The interior OF the house Is all .os
oak; the plumbing. electric light and
steam heating apparatus are the fin-
est that can be procured. The kitchen
is In separate building. connected
by n passage with the dining room.
Cement walks and driveways lead To
the farm buildings.
The house Is entered by way OF
a great semi-circular porch. leading
into large and beautifully proper
toned hall OF carved oak. From the
porch the view Is superb, for the
house stands upon the highest point
for several miles. To the south and
east Is a vast stretch of farming land.
while In a tre-embowered valley to
the north and west the roofs ami
spires OF the city OF Lincoln may be
seen.
Suburban trolley cars pass the en-
trance gate, where there is a shelter
shed beside the road. and the con-
duetors announce on reaching it,

Mrs, Bryan Is a tall. slender wom-
an, whose friends think her pretty.
Her forehead Is almost abnormally
high and she Is as intellectual as
this would suggest.
That she might be a help and a
companion to her husband she stud
led law after their marriage, took

tlce. Her nature is very practical.
she Is exceedingly cordial TO her

the case of thel New York Life In
suranee Company against J p Logan,
curator. involving the question of the
blowing up of Gus Frye in a well at
Grannis, Ark I oout year ago, was
given to the jury after three days
trial and at noon Tuesday the jury re-
turned a verdict for the defendants,
holding that the body then blown up
was the body of Gus Frye, and the in
suranee company is liable for the
same.
The only question submitted to the
jury in the instructions of the court,
was the fact whether or not that was
the body of Frye which was blown up
on the occasion of the explosion last
August year ago.
The contention of the plaintiff com
pany was that Frye had placed a dead
body. or part of one, in the well he
was digging and had exploded IA
sticks Of dynamite in it, himself leay-
ing the country. Shortly before he
had taken out a life policy for $4,000

from a local bank with which to pay
the premium. After the policy had
been paid the company brought suit
to recover the amount from Frye's
