MRS. WILLIAM J. BRYAN.
Something of Wife of Democratic
Candidate for President.

Mrs. Bryan is woman of intel
lectuality and strength of character,
and had she not become distinguished
as the wife of a renowned statesman,
she might easily have won fame for
her achievements in literature or some
learned profession.
Mary Elizabeth Baird was born at
Perry, Ill, June II, 1861. She came
of good old sturdy stock, her mother,
Lovina Baird, being of English descent.
the daughter of Col. Darius Dexter of
Dexterville, N. Y, now part of
jamestown on Chautauqua lake. Her
father, John Baird, whose death oc-
Cured May 3, 1905, was of Scotch
Irish ancestry, his lineage dating back
to Col. Henry Winter, one of the most
prominent men of Northampton coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, in the early years of
the nineteenth century. In 1928 Col.
Winter was presidential elector from
Pennsylvania, and cast his vote for
Andrew Jackson. He was appointed a
courier to deliver the report of the
electoral vote in Washington and made
the trip on horseback.
AS girl Miss Baird enjoyed good
educational advantages. Her education
was begun in the public schools, after
which she attended Monticello semi.
nary at Godfrey, ILL.,, one year, and the
Presbyterian academy at Jacksonville,
ILL.,, two years, graduating from the
latter institution with first honors in
June, 1881. She returned the next
wear for POSTGRADUATE work. It was

feet II inches, and weighs $50
pounds. Lastly, there is the baby OF
the family, Miss Grace, who has en-
joyed about 16 summers, and in the
meantime has grown as tall as her
mother, all of which goes to show that
Nebraska winds and weather have not
labored in vain on the rising genera.
ton.
Mrs Bryan's father, who died at the
age of 90, made his home for many
years with his only daughter; and the
most touching incident in the life OF
Mrs. Bryan is the filial devotion she
lavished upon him. For the last 80
years of his life he was blind.
Takes Up the Smaller Churches.
Until few years ago the Bryans
were identified with a Presbyterian
church in Lincoln, but withdrew from
that well-established organization that
they might give their support to two
smaller struggling congregations in the
neighborhood At present the family
attends services at little chapel near
their country home, where they feel
they can come near to the heart of ma
ture and the great Creator. With
them simplicity and sincerity are more
to be desired in divine services than
ostentation and display.
Out of door sports and amusements
have always been very attractive to
Mrs. Bryan, although she has devoted
no considerable time to the acquire
ment of proficiency in any sport ex.
cept that of swimming. which she

Although the platform on which he
stood excited much opposition from
many sources, Mr.. Bryan claimed that
it represented his convictions, and an
nounced his readiness to defend every
plank. Immediately after his nomina-
ton he began one of the most vigor-
Gus and memorable campaigns ever
carried ON by candidate for the
presidency. 1t is estimated that dur
900 miles.
Two months before the nomination
Mr.. Bryan is reported to have said,
in an interview which he wished not
to be published at that time: "I
think / shall be the next president
that / shall be nominated in Chicago,
and if nominated / am sure shall be
elected. l think Mckinley will be
the Republican nominee, and he can
be beaten. 1t is a matter | have

i On the outbreak of the Spanish.
American war he was offered and &C
cepted the colenelcy of the Third
Nebraska volunteers, and was for some
time with his regiment at Tampa, Fla,
but did not take any active part in
the struggle. On his return to Nebras,
ka Mr.. Bryan again entered into
the field of political activity, and
spoke against the scheme Of colonial
expansion introduced by the Mckinley
| administration on the cessfon of the
| Philippine islands by Spain.
| In 1900 he was again nominated for

while at college that she met Mr..
Bryan, and the happy romance of her
life was begun. He was at that time
attending the Illinois college. Their
betrothal was made while they were
both juniors, their marriage following
four years later, in 1884. They resided
in Jacksonville until their removal to
Nebraska three years later.
Becomes Practical Partner.
In order to keep herself in closer
touch with his professional life, Mrs.
Bryan read law with her husband as
instructor, taking the course pre-
scribed by the Union College of Law
of Chicago. She was admitted to
practice in the supreme court of Ne
braska in November, 1888, not having
the intention of practicing as a means
of livelihood, but that her knowledge
of the profession might be of greater
value in the constant and careful as
sistance she rendered Mr.. Bryan in
his work.
Mrs. Bryan is also fond of literature
and the languages. She devoted one
year to the special study of literature
in the Illinois college, and during more
recent years has taken postgraduate
course of one year in German at the
Nebraska State university. She says
that every mother necessarily keeps
her knowledge Of Latin somewhat
fresh in memory through the school
days of her children, while helping
them to conquer Caesar and vanquish
| Cicero, but for her own part she finds
her greatest pleasure in the study OF
German. She is fond of music, but
makes no pretense at being an adept
| in that art. -.---.
Mrs. Bryan believes that her first
and best efforts should be devoted to
the welfare of her home and family.
Such duties have claimed so much OF
| her time that little has been left for
other work. She has been both moth
err and companion to her children, aid
ing them through the struggles OF
school days, giving always of her love
and wisdom for their growth in educa-
| ton and culture.

but was once more defeated, receiv-
ing in the electoral college 155 votes
against 1872 for William Mckinley.
Mr.. Bryan was deeply interested in
literature, and was several times con-
nected with journalism. In 1894-6 he
was editor Of the Omaha World-Her-
aid, and now carries on weekly po-
litical newspaper, The Commoner, at
Lincoln. In 1906 he made tour Of
the world and wrote descriptive ar

American newspapers. The books he
has written include "The First Battle, .

The resolutions adopted by the
Minot convention are pretty lengthy
but read well. Such men as E..
Smith Peterson, Senator Simpson, H.
r. Turner, John Wynn and a dozen
others on the committee shaped the
declaration of principles from score
or more of suggestions handed in.
In fact it was understood that about
every suggestion offered was incor-
porated and yet Senator Hans
brough's organ, the Grand Forks
Times, is kicking because in it's dec
larations against trusts and for strict
regulation of corporations the Har-
vester trust is not singled out for
special jolt. AS the senator was a
delegate in the convention and Har-
vester trust is particular hobby of
his, it would seem that it was up to
him to have suggested something of
the kind.

SUPREME COURT HEARING ARGU-I
MENTS INVOLVING VALUABLE
PIECE OF BURLEIGH COUNTY
LAND.

John w. Noble of st. Louis, former.

benjamin Harrison, and who was
secrtary of the interior when North
Dakota was admitted as state, was
pleader before the supreme court yes
terday morning, in the case of Camp.
bell VS.. Bull, which is on appeal to
the upper tribunal. Before beginning
his address to the court Mr.. Noble
alluded to his past connection with
the admission of North Dakota and of
his pleasure and interest at the re-
markable growth of the new state
1t developed also that Mr.. Mobiles ar.
gument would turn in part upon a por-
tion of the enabling act under which
the state was admitted, and which
was en- element in the case at bar.
The matter that was argued was a
case involving the title to and owner
ship of some 5000 acres of land In
Burleigh county, which is in question
between Hugh Campbell, jr., and j
w. Bull The action had its origin
back in the eighties, when a mort
gage on the land given by Stuart and
Brother of Philadelphia was fore
closed. BY this mortgage, in the sun
of $4,000, one c. S. Patterson and his
wife OF Philadelphia conveyed the
land to Campbell, and after giving the
mortgage conveyed the land to one ]
w. Coulston. In ignorance of this la
ter transfer, SO the plaintiff alleges
the mortgage was foreclosed and sub
sequently action was brought agains
Coulson as party: ]. E. Garland, now
Bismarck daily tribune., 1908-05-19

United States Judge in South Dakota
was attorney for the plaintiff.
A sheriff's deed was in due course
issued to Campbell, and he held pos
session of the land until 1906, when
Coulston gave a quitclaim deed of the
land to J. w. Bull. Bull then brought
an action to cause Campbell to show
why the Original decree of foreclos
ure should not be set aside as void on
the ground that the court had no iuris-
diction and the district court set aside
the original decree of foreclosure. The
case was then appealed to the SUI
preme court by the plaintiff, Camp
bell.
A number of interesting legal points
arise in the case, among them wheth.
er the original decree was void
whether the district court of this dis
trict is the successor Of the terrific
rial court and has authority to enter
tain motion to set aside the original
judgment, and whether the title of the
prceprty can bdisturebr after %
years from the date of the original
entry of judgment.
The land in question is valuable
and the amount involved in the case
is from $4,000 to $4,000.
Aside from Mr.. Noble, S. E. Ellis
worth of jamestown and F. H. Regis
ter of this city appear for the plaintiff,
Campbell, and R. N. Stevens appears
as attorney for j. w. Bull.
