The report that there has been fur

delegates stand exactly as they did at
the time OF the state convention. with
eight out of the fourteen in favor Of
the Nebraskan. Harry C. Ney Of Far

Hartford are still strongly In favor Of
some other candidate than Bryan. But
none of the eight men who we're for Mr..
Bryan in the beginning have with
drawn their support. Thus the sit

Trains Discontinued.

Senator C.. A. Randall Of Madison
county. whose home is at Newman
Grove, has filed a formal complaint
with the railway commission alleging
that the Northwestern road has with
out cause taken of two trains much
to the inconvenience of the people.
Mr.. Randall is farmer and banker.
Newman Grove has a population Of
1000. For four years it has had
daily train service but on April rs the
Northwestern took on the train that
ran Saturdays from Oakdale to Ere
mont and the train that ran Sundays
from Fremont to Oakdale, through
Newman Grove. The Saturday train
is a mixed train and carried mail. pas
sengers and freight. The Sunday train
carried freight and mail from Oakdale
to Fremont and passengers from Oak
iale to Humphrey and stopped at
Newman Grove.
Senator Randall alleges that these
trains we're taken of without just
cause or reason and in disregard of
the interests of the people and with
out the consent of the railway commits
sion. He says the Northwestern rail-
way company can furnish facilities for
carrying passengers on these trains
without unnecessary expense. The
railway commission will set a date for
, hearing.

Dread OF Marble Portraits.

"One peculiarly Of human nature
that am reminded Of daily" said q
sculptor, lis the disinclination of the
average man to look upon himself re-
produced in marble. The sight strikes
him with positive dread. 1t makes him
feel as II he were looking on his own
lifeless body. For that reason it is
difficult to persuade many persons
worth modelling to sit for a sculptor.
Frequently l am asked why most Of
my work is modelled after dead and
gone subjects. The answer is that liv-
ing people refuse to give me a COM
mission. The art of the sculptor diff
fers there from that of the painter.
Everybody likes to be painted. The
sight of ones face, ones figure, ones
clothes in a picture evokes nothing
but pleasurable emotions, if well done.
but to see ones self carved out Of
marble produces such an overpower-
ing sense Of death that many sensitive
persons put on characterization at the
hands of sculptor until they are re-
ally dead"

New York-Prices of securities adj
vanced last week, with growing Inn
petus and increasing volume OF trans
actions, the total sales on Thursday
rising to the largest of any day. since
last summer, before the financial
crisis developed. The persistence OF
the advance and it's freedom from in
fluence or check by events seeming
unfavorable to values, gave it impress
siveness and had the effect of convert
ing a growing number of scepticts in
the professional operating class. who
had contested the advance by short
sales at various stages and had been
forced repeatedly to cover at loss.
The abandonment of the opposition by
this class and their turn to the long
side had set little to do with the In
creased animation and buOyancy OF
the market The success with with all
obstacles were overcome and prices

ception of the present movement has
been convincing proof of the wide re-
sources commanded by the leaders OF
the movement. who are commonly be-
lieved to include great banking houses
and individual capitalists whose infiu-
ence commands the resources of the
most powerful group of capitalists In
the country.
The suspicion of a manipulative

exist served to hold aloof from the
market most of the general public.
which generally joins in an important
market movement. The confidence
and consistency with which the move
ment is pursued had a growing infiu-
ence on sentiment last week and had
the increasing effect Of causing a be-
lief in the satisfaction thus expressed
on the part of great capitalists with
the degree of improvement in affairs.
In the department of the money
market this movement was clearly
enough perceptible. For the easy
money market to further the success
of the financial plans of corporations,
however, there was necessary the ad-
dition of a der onstration of confidence
in the security IF values. The rise in
the stock market has operated as such
a demonstration. The scepticism with
which it was accepted at first was due
to the conflicting evidence of news at
fairs in general.
