CnFMICA AIS Kill WEEDS
Farmer Of Martin County
Gives His Expert
ence

The following communication from
the popular commissioner of the First
Martin county district recently APP
peared in the Winnebago Press News.
It is especially good reading for the
farmer:
II have been experimenting some
with the spraying process of destroy
ing weeds, and I fully believe 1t will
in the near future be the most success
full way of destroying many of the
troublesome weeds. In the last few
years the Canada thistle has gained
quite foothold in Southern Minneso
ia, and in most instances they are con-
fined to small. patches which could.
with prompt action, be destroyed.
For these hand sprayer would be
sufficient. I have tried for the solu-
ton iron sulphate (copperas) at the
rate of two pounds Of sulphate to a
gallon of water, also sodium arsenite
INA AS OF. For Canada thistle the
arsenite at the rate of two pounds to
fifty gallons of water seemed the most
effective. Forty EIGHT hours after ap-
plving, the thlstles were dead to the
ground. No doubt a second applica-
ton would be necessary, as the this
tie runs under the ground and new
ones will probably come up later. The
iron sulphate seemed the most effective
on mustard either solution it properly
applied, seem to destroy weeds while
the grain and grasses are uninjured.
There seems to be different opinions as
to why this is so, but we can we'll
afford to let those who make it
study find out the why, while we get
at it and get rid Of the weeds. be-
lieve in few years whole crops of
wheat and oats will be saved that
otherwise would be ruined with artl-
chokes, mustard, etc. The iron sui
phate seemed readily to destroy dande.
lions, and leave the grass green and
healthy. In handling these solutions
due care should be observed as they
are active poisons. Anyone interested
in weed destruction by means OF
chemicals, can, I think, get lot OF
valuable information by sending to the
experiment. Station at Fargo, N: D.,
for bulletin No. so. This bulletin
gives specific information about kinds
Of solution, how to mix, cost, etc;
also kinds of sprayers to use, when to
spray and description of various kinds
Of weeds
Very truly yours,
W w. Adams.

the party leaders offered him the NOM
ination for the lieutenant governorship
of Nebraska. He declined the offer,
but made stumping campaign for the
ticket throughout the state.
The next year, 1890, the young De-
mocracy thrust upon the young De-
mosthenes from Illinois the nomination
for congressman from the First dis
trict. J. Sterling Morton, who in his
time was father of Arbor day aid
member Of President Cleveland's cab
met, had been defeated in the race for
congress from that district in 1888 by
Republican majority of more than
5000 votes. Scarcely anybody expect
cd young Bryan to win. He was not
so very sanguine himself, but he made
an oratorical campaign and defeated
Congressman Cornell by nearly 1000
votes. In Omaha, where Cornell lived.
Bryan was sneered at as that Lincoln
boy" It was the reaction against the
new Mckinley tariff that elected Bry-
an-that and the silver tongue Of the
Lincolnian lad.
So at thirty Bryan was chosen to the
national house Of representatives. He
delivered his first speech in the house
the 10Th of March. 1892, on the subject
of free wool. Senator Burrows of
Michigan, temporary chairman of this
years Republican national convention,
declared that it was the best speech on
the tariff he ever had heard. News

ADMITS KILLING HIS AUNT
Slayer of Mrs. OttilIie Eberhard Is
Placed Under Arrest.

New York, July 24.-Drawn back to
the scene of his crime by force he
could not resist, August Eberhard
self-confessed murderer of his aunt,
Mrs. Otillie Eberhard, Viennese
widow whom he lured to a lonely
spot in New Jersey a few days ago
and shot to death, was captured near
Paterson, N. j., and is now a prisoner
in the Hackensack Jail.
What interested the authorities
most in the confession Eberhard made
to them was the reason he gave for
committing the crime. Eberhard said
that he was in love with New York
girl and that he needed money to
marry her, so knowing that his aunt
had $4,000, he plotted to kill her and
steal the money. Eberhard says he
also intended to kill his pretty cousin,
Otillie Eberhard, to whom he was en-.
gagged, so that nothing would stand in
the way Of his marriage to the New

returned to congress for a second term
he was continued on that most impor

In the interim the Nebraska districts

The district in its new shape was con-

Judge Allen w. Field of Lincoln, one
Of the ablest and most popular Repub

run against Bryan. He resigned from
the bench, so sanguine Of success was
be, but Bryan beat him by 14O votes.
When President Cleveland called al
extra session of congress in the sum-
mer of 1893 to push through the repeal
Of the Sherman silver bullion purchas-
ing act of 1890, the Democratic prest-
dent Of the old school unwittingly gave
to the man of destiny in the new school
of Democracy an altitudinous stepping
stone toward the presidency. Bryan Of
Nebraska aged th:rty-three, delivered
in the house on the 10th of August a
speech against the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman act.
The whole house and most of the SEN
ate heard 1t. When Bryan ceased
speaking he was picked up by enemies
and friends alike and borne around the
hall on the shoulders of enthusiasts
who liked a ripping fine Grafton When
they heard it regardless as to whether
it suited their politics. Nobody dis
puted that it was the greatest speech
Of the extra session.
Bryan declined a denomination for
eunG1Gzs IN 1894 and became editor Of

10 % to the United States senate. The

E has spoken face to face be-
You'd all question to more
hearers than has any other
man in the worlds history"
Gays one who Travelled with William
Jennings Bryan during the presiden-
dal campaigns of 1896 and 1900, and
there is no doubt as to the truth of the
statement.
The purpose of this article is briefly
to sketch the life of Mr.. Bryan up to
the age of thirty-six, when he was
nominated by the Democratic party for
the presidency of the United States. It
is a life possible only to American pol
ihcs, and, whether or not Mr.. Bryan
shall reach the presidency, it is an In
teresting chapter in United States po-
litical history.
The town of Salem, ILL.,, is the BIRTH
place of Bryan. Judge Silas L. Bryan,
q substantial, intellectual settler from
Virginia, was his father. Maria Eliza
beth Jennings was hts mothers maiden
name. The child was born March 10,
1860. Judge Bryan lived on farm
near the edge Of town. He had nine
children, of whom William Jennings
Is the fourth. The boy grew up out
doors, drinking the daily medicine Of
sunshine and the open air. His phys
ical constitution, marvel of robust
ness and energy, came. by Inheritance

the legislature. Mr.. Bryan remained a
private citizen. He had challenged
William Mckinley also to a joint de-
bate on the tariff, but the Ohio tariff
builder declined. Mr.. Mckinley was
destined to meet the Nebraskan in
broader contest little later.
In the meantime Mr.. Bryan was
happy at home with his little family,
the helpful wife and three children.
The children now are grown up. Ruth
is Mrs. William II. Leavitt and has
made her father grandfather. VIII
liam junior is eighteen, and Miss Grace
is budding belle Of seventeen years.
Young Mrs. Leavitt herself is some
thing of a politician. She has been
elected a delegate to the Democratic
state convention in Colorado, her home
being in Denver. Young William is
student in the Nebraska State univer-
sity at Lincoln. Miss Grace, who in
the event of her fathers election to
the presidency will become ''the young
lady of the White House." is at home
with her estimable mother on the
Bryan farm near Lincoln, known as
"Fairview," where the head of the
family some years ago built a hand
some residence. Prior to that the fam
fly had occupied modest cottage In
Lincoln, where Mr.. Bryan returned to-
his law practice after his unsuccessful
campaign for the senatorship.
When in 1895 the Republican conven-
ton which nominated Mckinley for
president met in st. Louis, William J.
Bryan held no Office whatever. He
still had a connection with the Omaha
paper, and he went to st. Louis as a
press correspondent. At the Planters
hotel the clerk looked over the plainly
CARRIED young man who signed 'W. j.
Bryan" on the register and made him
pay in advance. The clerk put Bryan
In room with seven Republicans. On
der date of June 16 correspondent Of
the New York Tribune sent to his pa
per from st. Louis this highly inter
esting paragraph:
Ex-Congressman William J. Bryan, the
leader of the free silver wing of the Ne
braska Democracy, was one of yester-
days arrivals. The appearance Of Mr..
Bryan in hotel corridor in consultation
with several Republicans from free silver
states Of the far west excited much COM

ing his mission Mr.. Bryan remarked, II

REVERSED and REMANDED
Circuit Court Of Appeals Differs
With Trial Court on Sew.
eral Vital Points.

Chicago, July ply unanimous
opinion of the United States circuit
court of appeals for the Seventh dis
trict the famous case of the govern
ment against the Standard Oil COM
pany, in which the latter was fined
$29,240,000 by Judge Lands in the
district court, must be retired.
The court of appeals differs with
the trial court on three vital points,
holding that Judge Lands excluded
evidence for the Standard Oil COM
pany of Indiana which should have
been admitted to show proper intent
in the rate the company paid on oil;
that he erred in considering each car
lot separate offense and that in I'M
posing the maximum fine for q first
offense he abused the discretion vest
Cd in his court. It is strange doc
trine, says the opinion, whereunder
million dollar corporation such as the
defendant-the Standard Oil company
of 1ndiana-may be fined twenty-1ine
times the amount of it's capital stock
in order to punish a defendant not
even under indictment. By this latter
is meant the parent company, the
Standard Oil company Of New Jersey.
Judge Grosscup Wrote Opinion.
This opinion, concurred in by
Judges Baker and Seaman, was deliv-
cred by Judge Grosscup, who wrote
it. The concluding sentence of the
opinion reads:
"The judgment Of the district court
Is reversed and the case remanded
with instructions to grant a new trial
and proceed further in accordance with
this opinion"
News Of the decision spread like a
prairie fire through the federal build
ing, reaching the Office of United
States District Attorney Edwin Sims
with unwelcome speed. He held a
hurried conference with his assistants
who had aided him in the prosecution
before the district court, after which
he said:
"All can say now is that what has
happened was not expected. However,
We shall make the best of it. In
doubtedly there will be an early re-
trial of the case"
The decision just handed down was
on the appeal made by the Standard
Oil company of Indiana from the YER
dict rendered April Is, 1907, by which
the company was found guilty of &C
cepting rebates and was later fined
by Judge Lands of the United States
district court S29,240,000, the max
imum under the counts of the indict-
ment.
