There are many persons, says
the Mondamin Enterprise, that
have good sense, or rather man
ners enough to stop when they
meet a funeral procession, but
occasionally you will meet a
man who just turns out of the
road and drives along as though
he was passing a manure spread
er or a load Of hogs. 1t is poor
manners to say the least. For
Gods sake when you meet a
funeral procession have respect
enough for the friends to stop
while the procession is passing.

BRYAN MAY STAY OUT
Talk of Prolonging SPEAKING Tour
Through October.

Chicago, Sept S-Preliminary TO
the invasion of the east by William J.
Bryan, members of the Democratic
national committee, held a council of
war today and for several hours
studied over the plans that had been
devised to bring the Democratic cause
to victory. While the national commit
teemen were in session there were
conferences of the advisory and
finance committee and late today all
three committees Joined in a general
conference in which Mr.. Bryan took a
leading part in the deliberations.
While no definite announcement has
been made it is generally believed by
national committeeman that the effort
to have Mr.. Bryan take the stump cur
ing the entire month of October will
prove successful. With the announce
ment that Mr.. Taft will make a speak
ing trip through the middle west and
the east, the Democratic leaders be-
lieve that the fight should be forced
all along the line until election day
and that to that end Mr.. Bryan should
continue his speaking trips until the
campaign ends.
National committeeman from the
far west are trying to prevail upon
Chairman Mack to send the candidate
to the Pacific coast states, but whether
Mr.. Bryan will make the long west>
ward swing will depend in great
measure on plans made for Mr.. Taft's
stumping tour. Chairman Mack and
other members of the committee are
not little concerned over the question
whether Mr.. Bryan's strength would
enable him to duplicate the ardous
campaign of 1896, though Mr.. Bryan
has said that he is willing to do what
ever the committee feels is required
to make an effective fight.
National Chairman Mack said today
that the conferences today would be
confined principally to an interchange
of ideas of the various committeeman
on the plans drawn for the campaign
and that Mr.. Bryan would offer his
advice and counsel before their adop-
ton. The committees will try TO FUR
ther public interest in the Demo-
cratic precinct clubs as the most po>
tent factor in bringing about the e1ec-
tion of Mr.. Bryan. Upon the clubs
and the Democratic press the national
committee is depending for the cam
paign funds and the responses TO the
call for money has. according to
Colonel Wetmore. head of the finance
bureau. been very gratifying.
Mr. Bryan spent the day in confer
ences with the different national COM
mitteemen and tonight he will address
a general conference of precinct COM
mitteemen of Chicago.

NEGROES BUY GUNS.
A Kansas City Pawn Brokers' Stock
Is Cleaned Out.

Kansas City Mo-, Sept. s.-Since
the killing of a white man by a ne
gro here last Saturday, there has been
a growing alarm of a race war among
the colored population and the police
have learned that many of them are
purchasing firearms A pawn broker
on East Eighteenth street reported
that the negroes had purchased all
the shot guns, rifles and revolvers in
his store besides a large amount of
ammunition. Robert Thomas, a negro,
was arrested at a circus yesterday for
carrying a revolver "to protect his
color" Robert Maupin, another ne
gro, probably fatally wounded him
self while cleaning a revolver which it
is believed he intended to carry for
his own protection. Excited groups
of coIored men have been dispersed by
police but no violence has occurred.

wick, Rains and Shaffer spoke on
fraternal associations, and especially
commended the Woodmen and Royal
Neighbors. Mrs. Burton spoke of the
evil influences of Combines and
Boodlers.'' The audience was es-
pecially responsive when she turned
the search light onto the American
Book company and attempted to show
how low a grade of school books had
been forced upon Kansas by the
alleged school book trust. She
pointed out business blocks and fine
residences in Topeka that had been
built by profits and graft in the Kan
sas school books. She suggests as a
remedy that the state pay to the ma
tion's best authors and artists for get
ting up better books. part of the
money that now goes into the pockets
of the school book trust. She would
have the state print and bind the books
and sell them to the schools at cost.

HE MADE A MISTAKE.

Portland, Ore. Sept. s.-A package
entrusted to the care of the Wells
Fargo Express company at Salem,
Ore, by ]. r. Albert, president of the
Capital National bank of that city
and addressed to Joseph Meyers at
the Portland hotel in this city. con-
tanning notes and other valuable pa
pers representing over $4,000, is
strangely missing. That the package
reached Portland from Salem on the
southern Pacific train arriving here
at 1880 o'clock on the night of Au-
gust Fl, has been established beyond
doubt but what became of it after
that hour would be welcome news to
the express company. to Joseph Mey-
ers and Banker Albert, of Salem.
AS soon as the robbery was reported
to the express company detectives
were put to work and that their efforts
to unearth a clew to the perpetrators
of the robbery have not been entire
ly unsuccessful is indicated by the fol-
lowing statement of Superintendent
Beckwith of the Portland office of
the Wells-Fargo Express company:
I'VE have detectives at work on the
case and will never let up until we
catch the thief, no matter how long
1t may require. We have some clews,
but what they are we are not ready to
make public
How the theft was accomplished is
almost as great a mystery to the ex-
press company officials as is the iden-
tity of the thieves. The package was
taken from the Union depot office,
they believe, some time between 1880
p. m. August 81. and 1880 a. M, Au-
gust %. During these hours the men
in, the express office are rushed with
work and it is possible that the door
of the office was left open for few
moments and that the thief slipped in
and took the package. When Banker
Albert entrusted the valuables to the
express company he specified $40 as
its value and for that reason the pack
age was not placed in the company's 9
strong box.
From the best Information at hand
it is understood that the package con-
tanned jewelry, promissory notes and
other papers valued at over $4,000.

LELAND A FIGHTER.
Punished Merry-go- Round Man Who
Was Insolent.

Cyrus Leland, late Republican can
didate for governor, had a fist fight at
his home town Of Troy the other day,
and the most interesting thing about
it was that he was fighting in behalf
of Joseph L. Bristow, the Republican
nominee for the United States senate
They had big picnic going on at
Troy, and Bristow was billed for a
speech. A man with merry-go-round
had located his plant a short dis
tance from the speakers stand. Le-
land went to the man and tried to get
him to move-even offered him $25
to take his machine a little further of.
The man declined.
About ten minutes before Bristow
was ready to speak, Leland again
went to the merry-go-round man and
said:
I'VE are going to have an address
over here now, and we would greatly
appreciate it if you would not run
your machine until after the speaking
is over. People have driven in here
from all over the county to hear this
speech. and they can't hear while you
are running. 1t will not hurt your
business any to make this concession
because the people will appreciate it,
and we will get all the crowd over in
to this part of the park for YOU
"I paid for the privilege of running
this merry-go-round,' said the man,
land 1 am going to run it whenever I
please If you want to have a speech
making, go somewhere else to have it,
mo you're not going to run this ma
chine whenever you please" said L.
land. 81 have asked you courteously
to close down while this man is talk
ing; 1 even offered you $25 out of my
own pocket to. move further away
from the sneakers stand Now if Won
won't yield to that sort of treatment.
we'll see what the city marshal can do
for you.''
You and the city marshal can both
go to h remarked the merry-go-
round man with emphasis.
Quick as flash Leland cleared for
action and pasted the owner of the
merry -go-round sQuarely on the nose
The man staggered back and before he
could recover himself, Leland was on
him, and swung in his left to the jaw,
closely followed with a straight punch
in the eye. The merry-go-round man
was groggy and going when the city
marshal stepped up and grabbed him
by the back of the collar and marched
him out into the road.
Nov. you look here" said the mar
shal, you seem to be hunting row
with this crowd. I'll state to you right
now that you'll get it If you want it.
You had better behave or that bunch in
there will burn up your outfit. You can
either come back here and close down
your engine till after this speaking is
over, or I'll march you down to Jail"
The merry -go-round man realized
that he was up against it, and Surren-
dered Internationally.
"I persuaded the rry-go-round man
not to rum" said Leland as he return
ed to the speakers stand, but 1 had
to punch him to make it clear to him
that we meant business"
