People are beginning to remark upon
the rapid increase of flesh by William
Jennings Bryan. In 1896 he was trinity
built and a fine figure of a man. Now
he is getting almost as much of an
equator as Taft. and some men have
actually said that he waddles when he
walks. While Bryan neither drinks
nor smokes, he has an unusual appetite,
and the result is becoming apparent
that If he and Taft should be the op-
posing candidates it would be "fat
mans campaign"

Mr. Rrvan and Roger q sn,iv.

Mr.. Bryan and Roger c. Sullivan
have come to the conclusion that an in.
ternecine struggle would result disas.
trously for both of them, and therefore
they have agreed upon a peace. Bryan
will not oppose Sullivan's reelection a.
the National Committeeman from Hi.
nois, and Sullivan will in return give
the Illinois delegation to Bryan. Ir
this deal Hearst's friends were left out
and they are threatening to oppose Sui.
Ivan. 1t may be that they will think
better of it, since every time that
Hearst's followers have come out into
the open to be counted they have lost
prestige.

Judge Harland ]. Swift, Commander
OF the Department of New York, G. A
r., is strongly opposed 10 consolida-
ton of the Pension Agencies, and he
gives as his reasons that the veterans
do not want 1t, that they do not want
any more red tape with Washington
than they now have, that il will make
great delay in receiving pensions. and
that it will be more expensive for the
Government. The average salary paid
clerks in the Pension Bureau at Wash.
ington is s1,2S072 per annum, while
the average in the Pension Agencies is
but ss7799. It will be no economy to
discharge the clerks now employed in
the Pension Agencies and have theiI
work done by the employees in the Pen
Sion Bureau.

operate against the German sausages.

The abandonment of cable on the
Brooklyn bridge, ends the cable system
of traction in the United States, sys-
tenn which had given excellent service
for % years until something better was
developed in the way of electrical trac-
ton. All the other tramways in the
United States abandoned the cable sys-
TEN some 10 or years ago for the
cheaper and better electric system. but
the Brooklyn bridge has retained il
and been alone in doing SO.

and down the plain as far as the eye
could reach. the camp fires lighted the
| wintry sky and around them were
gathered groups of men muffIed in
their long blue oveTcoats. eagerly dis
cussing the situation. 1here was no
outward sign of fear or doubt over the
terrible struggle in which we were about
to engage, but many of us. 1 know,

The Battlefield.
THE Rappahannock River. upon
whose banks we lay. runs in a south
easterly direction. Back a distance OF
about a mile. rise the nights of Fred
ericksburg. at the foot of which runs
the railroad to Richmond. Behind
the railroad embankment. and upon
the nights. were intrenched the en-
envy. About halfway between the
nights and the river. nearly parallel
with the latter, runs the Bowling Green
Turnpike. The right of our line of bat
tie extended above the city. We were
on the extreme left, two miles below.
At sunrise our brigade began to move
toward the turnpike. We had scarcely
gone a dozen rods before the enemy
opened on us with shot and shell.
could not help laughing aloud to see
the Captain of my company dodge the
shells as they came over our heads.
but / soon learned to do it myself We
doublequicked to the turnpike. where
we found shelter by lying fiat upon our
faces, while the shells went bursting
over us with such horrible noises that
/ Rugged the ground for dear life 1t
was wild scene. The sharp rattle of
musketry, the almost continuous boom
ing of cannon, the neighing of horses.
the yells of the drivers. and the sharp
commands, mingling with the cries of
the wounded, were enough to strike ter
ror to the hearts of our young soldiers.
Our batteries replied to the fire of our
foes with promptness and energy that
excited my admiration, and the sharp
rattle of musketry told us that the bat
tie was in progress. Aids ard mounted
orderlies went dashing hither and
thither in hot haste to the various
commands; and Generals and their
staffs were gathered in groups, anxious
~ scanning the enemy's movements
through field-glasses. Great clouds of
smoke rolled over us like a burning
city. and half obscured the columns of
men who were marching with quick
step in various directions, swiftly
forming in the ranks OF war" Bugles
blared and drums beat. and high above
the awful din arose the shrill cry of
some poor soul who had received a
mortal wound. I know of no sound
so horrible as the fiendish singing of
the pieces of bursted shetland the
wounds they make are usually fatal.
The first one killed in our regiment
was a noble young fellow in my COM
pany. He was struck in the back by
a spent cannon-ball. We had time to
give him a hasty burial before we
moved forward.

jeff Davis, of Arkansas, began his
career of Reform, with the biggest kind
of an r, and his struggle against nepot-
ism, by putting his two daughters on
the pay roll, one as secretary and the
other as laborer. He thought it best
to begin the alienation of the financial
,stringency by getting more currency in
circulation in the Davis family.

fine of $3.50 each. It is understood
that the defendants will ask for a
rehearing, but in case of adverse ac-
tion Dwyer will return from his fine
Montana ranch and join Chase in the
boarding house of Sheriff Lampman.
The case was sensational one.
The defendants conducted room

Their place was raided zone might by
Mayor, Wegleyj and Al posse of fol-

ING STATION AGENTS TO be IL
cENsED, AND THE TREASURY
is RICHER THEREBY. III

Some time ago. Secretary Blaisdell
notified all pf the railroad companies
operating in the state that the law
requiring ticket agents to have a Ii
cense would be enforced and that the
railroads would be compelled to COM
ply with the sproYis isions of the law,
which has been on the statute books
Of the state fpr twelve years. /
It was faW the railroads had been
instrumental in having passed by the
Legislature for the sake of keeping
scalpers from operating here. After
the law had been passed the North;
ern Pacific and the Great Northern
complied with the law, and saw to 1t
that nearly all Of their agents were
asuppied with the required license is
sued by: the secretary Of state. but
the 500 had never complied with the
law and when notified by Secretary
Blaisdell replied that they had never
been notified that they were required
that they should haye license for
their local ticket agents and did not
know that such a law was in force,
7but that they would, however. com
ply promptly and forthwith made ap-
pltcation for q license for every agent
of'their road in the state. l..
The Milwaukee road until this year
never operated in North Dakota very
extensively, but since their line
through the new counties in the west
ern part of the state has been con.
structed, several new stations have
been established. Both the 500 and
the Milwaukee have now complied
with the request Of the secretary OF
state, and as a result nearly $500
has been added to the treasury of the
state through this one notice to the
companies, and from law that to
some extent had been allowed to re-
main a dead letter. ~ >.' Y. Z
