Sculptor Found Perfection.

In speaking of the death of Anna
Haverland, the German actress, Ores
den paper says that "she was beau
tiful, had an imposing presence, a
musical voice, possessed all the quail
tiles of great actress and had a right
arm Of perfect form" The writer
adds that when Prof. Schilling was
modelling the gigantic statue of Ger
mania which stands at Niederwald on
the Rhine he sought for months for
model for the right arm Of the figure,
and hundreds of women were anxious
to pose, for the right hand was to
bear the imperial crown of Germany.
"One evening" SO goes the story,
"Schilling went to the royal theater to
see Haverland as 'Thusnelda,' and
when, in one scene, she raised her
barred right arm over her head the
sculptor rushed from his box to the
stage and said to the actress: You
must give me your right arm-it
must hold high the German crown
Consent was easily obtained, and so
long as Germania keeps her watch on
the Rhine the name of Anna Haver-
land will be remembered"

iagly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component

THE FLEET SAILS
Leaves San Francisco On Its Long
Cruise Around the World.

San Francisco, July S.-With the
turn of the tide yesterday, after the
hour of noon, the Atlantic fleet of
sixteen battleships hoisted anchor
and, led by Rear Admiral Sperry's
flagship Connecticut, turned their
prows toward the Golden Gate and
the open sea and their long voyage
to home port in the Atlantic.
The last calls were made, goodbys
were said by officers to their families
and friends, and when the sun peeped
over the Berkeley hills, "Big 49,"
the backbone of the American navy,
were ready to get under way.
There were many thousands of San
Francisco's population gathered on
the high hills to watch the fleets de-
parture, but there was no official re-
cognition of the event. A few bay
craft gave shrill blasts of their whis-
ties as parting salute and the
watching crowds silently waved
adieus. Beyond this there was moth
ing to mark the sailing of the great
sea force more than the arrival or
departure of other fleets.

Longevity in Iceland.

Those who wish to live long might
well consider the advisability of emil
grating to Iceland The earthquakes
there are occasionally nerve racking
but on the whole the lives of most Of
its simple and Industrious inhabitants
slip along with few incidents that un-
duly stimulate or depress the pulse.
The island enjoys many of the ad-
vantages of civilization and avoids
most of its drawbacks. The result is
that probably no part of the world
beats Iceland in the average length
of life of it's inhabitants. On an av-
erage they live to the age of 61.S years,
which is very nearly double the mean
duration of human life as it was COM
puted a generation ago.
Sweden and Norway are regarded
as very healthful countries, but Ice
land takes the palm for longevity, the
mean duration of life in Sweden being
5000 years and. in Norway 1924 years.

LOSES HANDS AND EYES
Fourth of July Accident Terribly Grip.

Central City, s. D., July S.-Throw-
ing dynamite caps into bonfire
which they had built may cost the
life of liver Rudd, twelve-year-old
boy of this place, who were celebrat-
ing the Fourth with his companions.
Rudd first threw in the caps singly
and then to make more noise threw
in the whole box. The resulting ex-
plosion, while the boy was standing
over the fire, terribly mangled him.
If he should recover he will be help
less cripple for life, as he lost the
sight of both eyes, and both his
hands will have to be amputated. He
received score of other injuries.

cided that nothing shall be done to
weaken any advantage that corpora
tons have gained in labor disputes.
The charge that the courts are being
assailed is simply made for the pur-
pose of diverting attention from the
real issue. Heretofore it has not been
considered treason or an unwarrant
able attack upon the honor of the
courts to define their jurisdiction, pre-
scribe their procedure, restrict their
processes and generally to fix the
bounds within which judicial functions
shall be exercised.
1t makes mo difference whether the
courts are acting in excess of their
jurisdiction or strictly within their
delegated powers. In either case the
people have right to throw addition
al safeguards around human liberty.
There can be no reflection upon the
honesty of the courts in the passage
of a measure that will confine the
equity powers of the federal judiciary
within such bounds as the people of
the United States, through the legisla-
lative branches of their government,
may determine. This Democratic con-
vention must formally and unequivoc-
ally pledge itself to such legislation as
will prevent the writ of injunction
from being converted into an instru-
ment of oppression.
We have something to do in this
convention besides pointing out evils
and taking the Republican party to
task for the part it has played in
creating and perpetrating abuses. De-
mocracy is once more called to the
front to battle for the sacred princi-
pies of Self-gOvernment 1t must wage

WIFE WON
Husband Finally Convinced.

Some men are wise enough to try
new foods and beverages and then gen.

fit of their experience.
A very conservative" Ills. man,
however, let his good wife find out for
herself what a blessing Postum is to
those who are distressed in many
ways, by drinking coffee. The wife
writes:
"No slave in chains, it seemed to
me, was more helpless than l, coffee
captive Yet there were innumerable
Misunderstanding from troubled
sleep with a feeling Of suffocation, at
times dizzy and out of breath, at
tacks of palpitation of the heart that

Common sense, reason, and my
better judgment told me that coffee
drinking was the trouble. At last my
nervous system was SO disarranged
that my physician ordered mo more
coffee

to this our family had tried Postum,
but disliked it, because, as we learned

boiled it Is minutes after boiling COM
menced, obtaining dark brown liquid
with a rich snappy flavor similar to
coffee. When cream and sugar were
added, it was not only good but de-
hcious.
Noting its beneficial effects in me
the rest of the family adopted it-all
except my husband, who would not adj
NIT that coffee hurt him. Several
weeks elapsed during which drank

The public eye is keenly sensitive to

proceedings here will be approved &C.
cording to the degree of sincerity ap-
pearing in the work of this conven-
ton. There is widespread belief,
founded upon evidence of a convincing
character, that the party in power
has not been true to it's trust, that it
has betrayed the common interest into
the hands of the enemies of good gov
eminent, thereby FORGETTING its right
and destroying it's ability to rule in
the name of the people.
Apparent to everyone is the fact
that way down deep in the heart of
the Republican convention at Chicago
there was feeling of anger and re-
sentiment over the popular clamor for
reforms; and it is equally patent that
there is no bona fide intention on the
part of the Republican party of grant
ing any reforms, If the machinery of
that party can be retained in present
hands. It's paper platform, divided
like ancient Gaul into three parts
barren promises, makeshifts and eva
sions-it is hoped will make a good
campaign transparency; but no one
seriously believes the Republican par
ty indorses that neutral manuscript
which held the convention together
until it could ratify the nomination of
presidential candidate
Among the great evils that aff1ict
the country at the present time is the
abuse of corporate power. At first
the advancing aggressions of the cor
porations are not discernible to the
common eye, for every move is care
fully covered up until sufficient politi-
cal strength is attained to defy the
protests of the people. Thus the con-
slant and inSidious invasion of the
peoples rights finally results in a spe-
cies of arrogance and defiance so for
midable in its appearance that the
body of the people, in fear of even
worse aggressions, hesitate to exer-
else their rightful authority over these
colossal enemies of the common
wealth. And so we behold a subver-
sion of our free institutions, a govern
ment voluntarily subordinating itself
to selfish, private ends, special priv
ilege, resorting to cunning, bribery
and intimidation to maintain it's un-
holy power, while the masses timidly
hope that when avarice has at last
reached the point of safety it will
then benevolently permit the people to
resume their rightful share in the gov
eminent of themselves. Whenever
the mutterings of the people become
too threatening the cry of confiscation
goes up and appeals are frantically
made to the sacred rights of property.

while the message was being read;
while over in the house of representa-
tives they refused to suspend the roll
call of the house to receive the COM
munication which had been sent there
from the White House.
The Chicago platform points with
pride to the passage of the child-labor
law for the District of Columbia. Let
the Republican party go further than
the enactment of penal laws and in
the name of humanity use it's vast en-
ergies for the removal of the condi-
tons that are forcing our children into
the labor market.
1t is the reign of monopoly that is
emptying our schoolhouses and fill
ing the sweat shops with child labor
and this same system of monopoly is
fast limiting the opportunities for in
dependent livelihood among those
who are forced into the industrial
field, and thus it is doubly blighting
that hope of youth which in former
stages of our national growth opened
an avenue of honor and independence
to every child reared upon our soil.
The fact is that all our citizens,
without respect to station or occupa-
ton in life, have genuine respect for
the courts and desire to maintain their
integrity.
The most palpable instance of the
insincerity Of the Chicago platform is
found in its declaration respecting the
issuance of injunctions. 1t would
have been entitled to more respect if
it had omitted all mention of it. At
session after session of congress labor
has pleaded for relief from the abuses
of iniunctions. but appeals have fallen
on deaf ars and there has been no
indication that remedial legislation of
any character would be enacted. The

The pupils of a distinguished pro-
fessor of zoology, man well known
for his eccentricities, noted one day
two tidy parcels lying on their in
structor's desk as they passed out at
the noon hour. On their return to
the laboratory for the afternoon lee
ture they saw but one. This the pre-
fessor took carefully up in his hali
as he opened his lecture.

an uncompromising war for the return
of the government to the hands of the
people, and this means that the
phalanx of special interest must be
broken. The triumph of the people
can come only through the Democratic
party, for the life of its chief political
opponent is so absorbed into the ar
tificial life of the monopolies and
trusts that it excludes the hope that
the Republican party will ever be able
or willing to regain a separate exist
ence where it can honestly discharge
it's duty to the people.
The Democratic idea is that where
the tariff enables the trusts to main
tain a system of extortion the duty
should be removed from all trust-made
goods, so that competition from abroad
may compel reasonable prices to our
own people. There is vast difference
between the protection of American
industries and the protection of GRIM
inal monopolies.
The expenses of our government,
even when most economically admins
tered, will always require substantial
tariff rates, for the customs duties will
always be our chief source of revenue.
The amount and distribution of these
rates must always be delivered along
equitable lines, keeping in view the
greatest happiness to the greatest
number and particularly Withholding
the shelter of the tariff from those
who use it, not for legitimate self-pro-
lection, but for the criminal purpose
of extorting the last dollar from the
American consumer.

money in political campaigns is large

THE CARNIVAL SPIRIT BREAKS
OUT AND DELEGATES EN-
JOY THEMSELVES.
Crowds Cheer Johnson's Picture and
Raise Hullabaloo When it Rivals
Bryan's. Streets Illuminated and
Congested.

Denver, July S.-Denver's exuberr
ance over the convention took on the
life and color of midsummer carni-.
val last night. The brilliantly illum-.
mated streets were filled throughout
the evening with throng that over
flowed from the wide sidewalks into
the streets and practically blocked
all traffic at the intersections, where
the ebb and flow of the passing null
titude caused congestion. The lob
bies of the downtown hotels were
fairly choking with visitors and sight
seers.
Everywhere a spirit of gaity pre-
vailed, and while at times there was
a decided political aspect to the cele-
bration, it was in the main merry
making of the people as whole. The
music of score of brass bands filled
the air with crashing martial music
and the melody of the popular songs
of the day.
Gaily decorated trolly cars fairly
dazzling the eye in the brilliance of
their vari-colored illumination of
electric bulbs, made their way over
the downtown streets with bands on
board playing for the crowds. The
revelry lasted until well into morn
ing hours.
Political marching clubs, catching
the spirit of the gaity, formed i'm
promptu parades, and, carrying BAN
ners, marched through the streets to
the cheers of the multitudes.
In the hotel Hobbies there occa-
sionally would be conflict of inter-
ests. In one a huge banner bearing
the picture of Gov. Johnson called
out great cheering, which broke into
a veritable whirlwind of opposing
demonstrations when large banner
bearing larger picture of Mr.. Bryan
was carried into the midst of the
throng by an enthusiastic crowd Of
admirers of the Nebraskan.

For half an hour or more the cheer.
