BRYAN AT DENVER

That William Jennings Bryan

licans two weeks before the meet

Bryan has already, from the sever
al states, more than two-thirds Of
the delegates who will sit 10 the
democratic convention and these
delegates have been accorded hlm
because of the admiration for the
man and the universal confidence
in bis honesty and his qualification
to make one OF the greatest presi-
dents this country ever knew,
Bryan has bad no national admin
stration at his back, as did TAFT In

years ago and which have grown
so immensely popular since then
that the republican president
adopted many Of them and has
been belaboring congress with the
"big stick" during the past year
trying to have these policies OIL
acted into law.
While Colonel Bryan has gone
down to defeat twice us The demo

HERE'S REAL SAFETY ENVELOPE.
Ingenious Device for Double Locking a
Letter.

new envelope made in Paris is
proof against the thief or the meddler
who opens a letter to extract or to
read it's contents and then reseals it
SO cleverly as to hide any sign of it
having been tempered with.
The new envelope is really two en-
velopes- Each is of thin paper, one a
pronounced blue, the other lighter in
color and different in texture. Each
has gummed flap.
The letter is first placed in the blue
envelope, which is slightly smaller
than the other. Instead of sealing thi 5
it is placed in the outer envelope and
the inner flap brought outside and
gummed down on to the larger en-
velope.
The outer flap is still unsealed. It
is much larger than the inner flap and
reaches down to a good-sized star
shaped opening which shows through
to the inner envelope, so that when
the outer flap is sealed it sticks not
only to the outer envelope but also
through this opening to the inner one.
The letter is thus practically locked
and double locked

Under Floating Ice Will Be
Taken Alonq.

New York.-Capt B. B. Osbon is
so years old, but he is planning to go
in search of the pole, or the hole
where the pole should be.
He is one of the organizers of the
Reed Hollow North Pole Exploring
club, which is planning to fit out an
exploring fleet, consisting of three YES
sells, the flagship to be constructed on
the lines of the Gauss and the two
auxiliary vessels to be used as tend
ers.
The route will be by way of Ber-
ing straits. The point of final de-
parture has not been finally decided
upon. but probably will be somewhere
between Point Barrow and Banks
land, the plan being to take advan-
tage of the Japan current and to drift
as far north under its influence as pos
sible before sending out the several
exploring praties.
First the party will establish wire
less telegraph station at Cape Wash
ington, Melville Land, one at Franz Jo-
seph Land, one at Spitzbergen and one
at Point Barrow. They will also have
one of the vessels start from Point
Barrow and proceed toward the pole,
carrying as an aid in steering a
gyroscope of special construction,
which will enable the navigator to
keep his course regardless of the
compass, and will further indicate the
distance travelled by registering the
arc through which the vessel travels
in a given time.
specially constructed submarine
boat will be taken. fully equipped for
long journeys under floating ice 1t
will carry wireless outfit by means
of which the flagship may be always
kept informed of it's movements. The
flagship will be equipped with a spe-
cial telescoping mast of great height,
which can be used for observation pur-
poses and from which photographs
may be taken to indicate open water

Latest Kansas Events.


The Kansas tax commission has
completed its work of assessment, and
after all the items were totaled, it
was found that it had assessed prop
erty actually valued at s402, 996 ,446- sc.
In 1907 the total value of all property
in Kansas for assessment purposes as
finally fixed by the state board of
railroad assessors and the state board
of equalization was $436,454, 94S. Thus
the tax commission this year has
made assessments of it's own which
almost total the entire valuation in
Kansas year ago. The commission
under the tax law assesses railroads,
street railways, pipe lines, telegraph,
telephone and private car lines and
the valuations of these companies has
been increased from SIC, 600 900 in 1907
to S4O4 100000 in 1908. Some of the
companies assessed this year were
never assessed by the state board be-
fore This includes some of the tele-
phone, private car lines, pipe lines
and all the street railway systems.

Late Crops in Kansas.

The agricultural experiment station
Of the Kansas Agricultural college at
Manhattan has issued a bulletin on
late crops. 1t deals with the condi-
lions now existing of the foods and a
wet spring destroying crops and max
Ing replanting a necessity. After the
flood of 1903 experiments were made
with crops and it is on the result of
the experiments of that year that this
bulletin largely depends. In 1903 the
station raised an average of 40 bush
els an acre of the ten best varieties
from seed planted June II. In 1904
and 1905 the late crops suffered from
need of rain, and corn planted July
1, 1905, matured, but the corn pro-
duced only 20 to 80 bushels an acre.
Nebraska and Iowa seed, it says, give
good results for late planting, but. the
yield is not so heavy as that which
comes from Kansas grown seed when
it has time to mature.

blank.

TIE
General Demand

Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for q simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
eellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
ON the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Uniformed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.
