BRYAN ON THE TRUSTS.
Says Their Destruction Would Mean
 the Revival of Business.


 Lexington, Neb., June 4. In his speech here William J. Bryan eulo- gized Senator La Toilette for his oppo- sitlon to the emergency currency bill and said:
 Senator La Toilette is in sympathy with the masses and has made great fight against great odds. They put him out of the last Republican nation al convention, and can't predict what they will do with him in the next one. When the president picked up Mir, Taft for the candidate of his party for president, if he was looking for an honorable gentleman, he could not have done better, but if he was looking for reformer he made a great mis- take. Mir. Taft says to extinguish trusts means to extinguish industries. Every farmer and every man who la- bors knows better than that. Take. for instance, the harvester trust It does not care whether the farmer buys or not. It doesn't have a corner on everything the farmer buys, but 1t soon will have if left alone. If you were to extinguish that concern would it destroy every other concern that manufactures farm implements?
 Congress is vested with power over interstate commerce and could control these trusts. If the business of the harvester trust was reduced 50 per cent there would be competition, which would result in cheaper implements for the farmer. Business would be increased by the sale of more imple- ments, and more men would be em- ployed. Thus competition would help every element of society. When you exterminate trusts you revive busi' ness instead of destroying it."

LION SCARES CROWD

 Among Spectators.
ANIMAL HAS BAD RECORD.
Society Folk Among Frightened Audi ence Show Owner Offers Reward For Nero's Recapturs and He Is Caught by Lasso.


 ence = Show Owner Offers Beware
 For Nero's Recapturs and He |
 Caught by Lasso.
 Greenwich, Conn.,, June 4.--Nero, large lion with record of having killed three men in the seven years ol his life, angered by repeated jabbingi with stick and the firing of .blanl cartridges, leaped at its keeper and escaped from it's cage in side show oi circus.
 It was the fault of an assistant keep CT who failed to pull the iron door ir time, and he has disappeared, so fear full was he of being mobbed even after the lion had been caged again. The circus was exhibiting across the street from the high school on Havemeyer place, and In the circus crowd were hundreds of school children.
 Society People In Crowd.
 Around the cage at the time were society people of New York, amoge them Mrs. Frank Hastings, Mrs. Cliff. ford Harmon, the daughter of E. c, Benedict; Mrs. George Nichols, Mrs. Frank Gould, the children of Percy Rockefeller and Mrs. Rockefeller
 The keeper first worked the lion into a rage by teasing 1t with a stick and firing off pistol in its face. Then he stepped into the cage. The lion made fierce lunge at him. and he retreated. On the ground below stood the assist ant, in his hands a rope attached to the door. He was too busy watching the trainer escape from the cage to pull the rope quickly. and, with roar, the lion leaped into the crowd.
 A policeman pulled up the canvas and shouted Beat itr' as he pushed women and children out of it and fol- lowed. For time it was not known whether the animal had escaped from the tent or not. but circus men grab bed the guy ropes and held the canvas down to keep him close if he should be in the tent. while the alarm went through the other tents and into the main canvas, where the show proper was about to start. Meanwhile the crowds fled under tents, over stone walls. into adjacent buildings and up trees and telegraph poles.
 Hunted With RevoIvers.
 The circus proprietor told the police to shoot the lion. and they and every body else who had a revolver got ready. but soon the beast was heard growing in the tent and overturning cages of jabbering monkeys, and the elephants were trumpetinG.
 A reward of SlO0 for the capture of the lion was offered by the animals owner, and four circus men crawlea under the tent, spread out the canvas top ef wagon and tried to form n semicircle and corner the lion. One of the men succeeded In throwing n lasso around its neck. Others took the wheels of a wagon cage. laid the cage on the ground and by using meat as bait got the lion into it. There was a shout of triumph as this was accom- plished. and the circus tents filled up again with the crowd.

Samuel T. Blanc Given Two Years on
Probation After Confessing the
Forgery of Partners

Painting a pitiful word picture of the
helpless condition of his clients young
wife, who is totally blind, Attorney AL
fred j. Morganstern appealed to Judge
Smith to show leniency toward his client,
Samuel T. Blanc, who had pleaded guilty
to a charge of forgery.
The young wife's eyesight said the
attorney, was almost entirely gone and
her need for the husbands society and
help was great Blanc said he and his
wife came from the east some months
ago and engaged IN the manufacture OF
peculiar brand of biscuits. r. T.
Brackney became interested in their
work and offered to invest, providing they
would incorporate. This was done and
Brackney was made president of the firm.
Brackneys money was soon used up,
it is said and, according to the story
told by Blanc, he became the object of
much haunting by his erstwhile friend.
This became so onerous that Blanc de-
termined to raise money, hook or crook,
and borrowed 1920 from q money lender.
Blanc admitted having forged Brack-
ney's name to the note, but said the
money had been placed in the bank to
the credit of the company of which both
were members.

secretary except under orders of the Of
ficers of the corporation" declared Judge
Smith, and appealed to Deputy District
Attorney North for a suggestion Is to
whether Blanc should be placed on pro-
baton. Mr.. North believed this to be
the proper course, and Blanc was told
to report to the probation officer at fire.

Making Good.

There is no way OF making LASTING
friends like making Good" and Doctor
Pierce's medicines we'll exemplify this,
and their friends, after more than two
the hundreds Of thousands. They have
"made good" and they have not made
drunkards.
A good, honest, square-deal medicine Of
known composition is DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t still enjoys an i'm
mense sale, while most of the prepara-
lions that have come into prominence in
the earlier period of it's popularity have
vgone by the board and are never more
heard Of. There must be some reason for
this longtime popularity and that is to
be found in its superior merits. When
once given fair trial for weak stomach,
or for liver and blood affections, its supe-
rior curative qualities are soon manifest;
hence it has survived and grown in pop
ular favor, while scores of less meritoriOus
articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for a brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.
For torpid liver with its attendant
Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per-
haps dizziness. foul breath, nasty coated
tongue. with bitter taste, loss of appetite,
with distress after eating, nervousness
and debility. nothing is so good as DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It's
an honest, square-deal medicine with all
Its ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper
= no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug,
therefore don't accept q substitute that
the dealer may possibly make a little big
ger profit. Insist on your right TO have
what you call for.
Don't buy DR.. Plerce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion expecting it to prove rcure-all." It
is only advised for woman's special ALL
mentS 1t makes weak women strong and
sick women well. Less advertised than
some preparations sold for like purposes,
its sterling curative virtues still maintain
its position in the front ranks, where it
stood over two decades ago. AS an in
MIGRATING tonic and strengthening nerv-
inc it is unequaled. 1t won't satisfy those
who want BOOZE" for there Is not drop
of alcohol in it.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, the origt-
nal Little Liver Pills, although the first
pill of their kind in the market, still lead,
and when once tried are ever afterwards
in favor. Easy to take as candy--one to
three a dose. Much initiated but neUer
eQii0ted.

HYPERION PIER
NEEDS ATTENTION
SEA WORMS AND STORMS MAKE
INRoADs ON WORK
Vitrified Brick on Edge viii Line
Sewer Because of Fifty-one-
Foot Drop of Water
Near Ocean

city Engineer Homer Hamlin will
shortly study the situation at Hyperion
where the outfall sewer discharges.
He expects to prepare plans and esti-
mates for the proper repair of the old
pier, or construction of a new one suited
to tine locality, and report before the next
fiscal year to the board of public works
in order that the cost may be included
in the estimates.
In June 1904, the city constructed a
steel pipe at Hyperion from the separat-
ing chamber to the end of the pier, which
was also built at the same time.
on November g. 1907, the engineers de-
partment was instructed, i'm accordance
with its previous recommendation, to re-
place the old cast iron pipe and por-
ton of the steel pipe with a reinforced
concrete sewer of adequate size, which
would extend from the end of the last
tunnel to the shore end of the pier
Worn by Waters Rush
When the steel pipe under the railroad
tracks near the pier was uncovered dur
ing the repairs now under way, II was
found to be in bad condition. rusted and
worn by the rush of water from the drop
Of ffty-one feet which occurs there.
on account of the rapid wear thus dis
deemed necessary to line the new sewer
with vitrifed brick on edge, at an addt-
tional cost of $500.
City Engineer Hamlin has requested
that this additional sum be set aside for
this extra work as it is urgently needed.
Mr. Hamlin also calls attention to the
condition of the pier, This pier Is not
in the best condition. and during the
last storm four piles were washed out,
and showed destruction by teredo below
water level.
During low tides last fall the depart
ment made a thorough examination of
the piles above low water line and as
far below as possible, and at that time
all seemed to be in fair shape.
1t seems probable that the pier will
withstand the winter storms without
material damage unless debris from other
piers along the coast drifts into it. There
is no way to prevent this and the most
that can be done is to clear away the
debris as soon as possible
