BILL BRYAN SHOT
AND KILLED BY
HUNTERS MISTAKE
"Bill" Was Only a Cat, but He
Possessed Very Unusual
Accomplishments.

Roger G~arrabrant, of the Brookdaie
section of Bloomfield, is mourning the
loss of his pet cat Bill Bryan shot
and killed by a hunter. The animal
was IA freak, born without a tail. He
was of uncertain age, but he came to
the home of Garrabrant the evening
of the day that Bryan received his first
nomination and was named after the
commoner.
"Bill' at once sprang into favor with
the people in the vicinity and became
a terror to tramps whoN visited the
Garrabrant farm when the master n
his men were at work in the fields.
When the Weary Willies would ask
for a handout and meet with a re-
fusal they would get angry and use
threatening language. Then 'Bill
Bryan would get in his fine work. He
would spring on the shoulder of the
hobo and claw at his neck until the
fellow would lake TO the woods.

ments at the Ansonia, he vas main

been one of the underlying causes of
the tragedy, will attend a conferences

will consent to a double funeral and
not, insist or hurrying her husbands
body separately. as was first threatened.
Should it be found that Welt and his
mother left no will, and If proof Is
produced hat his mother died first,
the entire estate of both, estimated at
$500, 900, will revert to the widow.

Vague ana Dnnserou. rheorl.t.

While sitting i'll Denver, watching the
convention, we jotted down the opinion
that Mr.. Bryan's best hope for election
lay in retiring to the bottom of the
Pacific and allowing not single bubble
to escape. Since that time he has
talked Il great deal about the best way
of regulating trusts; he has made
special slogan of the Oklahoma patent
medicine banking plan; he, the visions
airy. has claimed to be heir to the prac-
teal Roosevelt; he has been desper-
ately involved in an encounter with
that almost invincible politician; and
he has cast false aspersions on the in
tegrity of the governor Of New York.
Too many bubbles have escaped What
ever may be thought of the Presidents
taste, in the controversy between him
and Mr.. Bryan the country will, we
imagine, feel the difference between
vague and dangerous theory upon the
one hand and shrewd. practical reform
upon the other: between hesitating and
vacilating arguments and the heavy
battalions of establishment fact.-Col-

WHY GERMANS FAVOR TAFT
Believe Bryan Theories are Menace
to Business.

The German is, as rule, good
business man. He believes in the god
standard-which Bryan does not; he
believes in protection for American in
dustry-which Bryan does not; he be-
lieves in expanding the money OF the
government for the benefit of all the
people. in the rural free delivery, the
irrigation OF arid lands, the prese.va-
ton and utilization of our forests, the
improvement Of agriculture ard other
great pubic services which Bryan, ac-
cording to the political Platform which
he has subscribed, regards as "unneces-
sary and waSteful."
The prospect that Bryan would be
nominated drew bitter protests from
leading Germans and German newspa-
pers, including the newspaper con-
tro!!ed by Ridder, the present Demo
cratic campaign treasurer, who de-
clared that he would never support the
advocate of free silver and reputation
and of other vagarieS offensive to the
sound Judgment and honest character
of German Americans. The fact that
Mr. Ridder has seen Gt to change his
attitude toward he candidate whose
nomination he regarded as equivalent
to defeat does not mean that there has
been any general desertion on the part
OF German Americans from the p.in-
ciples of sound money and of protetc-
ton for American industry. Citizens
OF German origin. Democrats as wei. as
Republicans, throughout the United
States, are for Taft and the policies
which Taft represents.
The Germans common sense tells
him that Bryan is menace to bust
ness; that his political schemes are
visionary and impracticable, and that
lie depends for his only substantial sup
port upon form of class hatred tend
ing to undermine and break down
American institutions.
