Bryan at Dodge City Saturday
April 4th.

William Jennings Bryan, the great
com -noner, the idol of the western
Democracy. will speak in Dodge
City, Saturday afternoon, April 4th.
Mayor Reeves received the word
Sunday that makes the date and the
speech certain.
Without regard to his political
afiliation, Mr.. Bryan has come to
be one of the most admired men in
the nation. AS an orator he is
without peer. He has never spok-
en- in the Short Grass country be-
fore, and Dodge City must be pre-
pared TO entertain a record breaking
crowd.
While his talk will be along poll
teal lines, it will be worth a two
days journey to those who have
never heard him to attend this
speech. Mr.. Bryan will again be
the nominee of the Democracy for
the presidency. He is the biggest
Democrat in the country today.
When first nominated on the silver
issue he was little known. He has
grown in intellect and popularity
ever since. His lecture, "The
Prince of Peace" is pronounced
one of the best expositions of re-
ligious thought, and it is hoped
that he may be induced to tarry
over Sunday and deliver the lecture
here. This will give the people of
this community two opportunities
to hear this remarkable man.
The rink has been secured for his
Saturday afternoon speech, though
it is possible that the meeting may
be held out of doors.
Spread the good news, the idol
of Democracy at Dodge City the
afternoon of Saturday. April 4th.-
Dodge City Democrat.
A large crowd is expected to go
from Meade and it is hoped that the
Rock Island will run a special train
ON that day.

To The Farmers of Kansas

Kansas is the greatest wheat-pro-
ducing state in the Union, and is
therefore vitality interested in bind
ing-twine. AS result of the ex-
tortions of the binding-twine trust
the legislature of this state, in 1898,
made provision for the establish
ment of binding-twine plant at
the Penitentiary. The capacity of
the plant was small, and for the
first few years the quality of twin
produced was not very good, but in
the last three years new and inn
proved machinery has been put in,
the capacity of the plant greatly
increased, and the quality of the
Irvine improved, until it is now as
good as the best on the market.
Other states have followed our ex-
ample. Missouri has a similar
plant, and manufactured about one
million pounds of binding-twine
last year. North Dakota has a
similar plant, as has Indiana.
Michigan is just installing a plant.
Minnesota has made greater strides
than any state in this enterprise,
the prison authorities up there con-
fidently expecting to manufacture
nearly three-fourths of the Irvine
used ia that state this year. Kansas
in good wheat years. when headers
are not much used, needs about ten
million pounds of Irvine, and every
pound of it ought to be bought at
our Penitentiary. The capacity of
our plant is not as yet that great,
but if the patronage will justify its
enlargement it will be enlarged to
meet the demand. Oklahoma also
buys extensively from Kansas.
Since Kansas engaged In the man
ufacture of Irvine tie price has been
reduced more than one-half, and
the farmers in all these wheat-grow-
ing states are saving hundreds of
thousands of dollars by reason of
this successful attempt to compete
with the great binding-twine trust.
Our twine is now as good, if not
better, than any Irvine on the market
and the price has this year been
reduced to ~ cents per pound on
amounts of 5000 pounds or more,
and to cents for amounts less
than 5000 pounds, F. o. B. Lansing,
Kansas. This is the lowest price
ever made on binding-twine in this
state. If the farmers of Kansas
will give their support of this state
enterprise the binding-twine plant
can be made to pay nearly all the
expenses of the State Penitentiary,
and appeal to the farmers of the
state to give their patronage to this
state Institution. The price and
quality make it to their financial
interest to do so, and patriotic con-
siderations should prompt in this
direction.

Comments on Opponents Statement About Corporation Contributions.

Comments on Opponents statement
 About Corporation Contributions.
 Lincoln, Neb., July 2o.-"We well come Mir. Taft to this advanced ground and bid him come farther and announce that he favors making pub lie all campaign contributions above a reasonable minimum before election"
 This was William J. Bryan's com ment upon the statement of his Re publican rival that the Republican ns- tional committee would not accept campaign donations from corpora tions.
 The Democratic candidate referred to the joint pledge he and MT. Kern and the Democratic national commit tee had taken to receive no financial help from combinations, industrial or otherwise, as having apparently moved Taft to follow suit.
 Declaring that society has not given to the producer his equitable reward and that the administration of the government should be changed to rem edy this condition, William J. Bryan from the lawn of his home delivered one of his most important utterances in the last several years. The occa- sion was the visit of several hundrei teachers and students of the Fremont (Neb.) Normal school After shaking hands with the visitors Mir. Bryan was introduced by Professor W. H. Clemmons, principal of the school. Mir. Bryan spoke in part as follows:
 T think the teachers of this eoun- try are not overpaid. I am sure you will not accuse me of flattery when I say you earn all you get in the way of compensation.
 "Now compare your compensation and your work with the compensation and the work of those who have se- cured privileges and favoritism. Con- pare your work and your reward with those, for instance, who have secured control of some great industry and who by means of this control are able to reach their hands into the pockets of s0.00000o of people and by fixing arbitrarily the price of that which they sell and which the people must have are able to gather a reward larger than they earn"

TURKISH TROOPS
 ... RISE IN REVOLT.
Outbreak Follows Assassination
 of General 0Snan.

Constantinople, July 20.-It is rumor- ed that 7,C00 Turkish soldiers in the Monastir district are in open revolt and that 32,o00 troops have been or dered to the scene of the outbreak.
 It is also reported that a number of officers of the Third army corps have threatened that unless the officers now awaiting court martial on the charge of assisting the young Turkey" agita- ton are immediately liberated all the generals in Macedonia will be killed and the army will then march to Con- stantlnople and demand the re-estab- lishment of the constitution.
 General osman Heydet was assas- slnated in the barracks at Monastir by an officer who Is connected with the young Turkey" movement.
 The general had sent out a notifica- ton that amnesty would be granted to all Turkish officers who were compro- mised fin the recent mutinous disorders in Macedonia. His murder, following so closely upon the assassination of General Shemsi pasha in the same city under similar circumstances, has creat- ed great sensation.

figures did not last long, however, for when the other competitors got going the record moved up rapidly, until in the final Martin Sheridan won with throw of 124 feet 8 inches, with Horr second, with l2a feet 51a inches, and Jaeryenin third, with 119 feet SIX inches.
 The Olympic exhibition committees agreed to make reduction of 30 per cent in the prices of most of the seats in the Stadium, beginning today. Other concessions were made with view to attracting pS5lic support.

JACQUES
THE JACQUES.

The Poli summer stock company is offering this week at the Jacques David Higgins very popular play, "At Piney Ridge" which is one of the sure fire attractions of the theat- rical world. It is only about ten years ago that MT Higgins made his name as writer of simple appeal ing dramas and he did it with his first effort "Piney Ridge" as it is popularly called. Without and spe- cial dramatic technique and with few of the brilliant touches of the literary play builder he secured a striking appeal by telling vivid story simply and rapidly. There are no heroic speeches in the piece no elaborate stage settings and scarcely any attempt at theatrical ism. What there is though is plenty of wholesome comedy, un- dulterated love interest and genuine pathos coupled with an uncommon strength. The climaxes are not lab oriously reached but grow easily out of the action which is never de- layed for an instant. The big scenes at the finish of the second and third acts are written without the slight est attempt at affectation but are splendid examples of natural dra- matic execution. David Hartford has MT Higgins old part and Miss Nordstrom the role of Azalea the tender hearted beautiful girl whom he loves and finally wins against the most powerful obstacle, the suspi- cion of having negro blood in his veins. The cast is perfectly balanced and a delightful performance is in sured. Tuesday and Thursday after moons there will be souvenir photo graphs and Friday afternoon a car nation festival. Polls popular prices prevail. ..
