UNITED PARTY BEHIND BRYAN.
Presidential Candidate Is Assured OF
Hearty Support.

For the first time in IL years the
Democratic party is united in hearty
support of its presidential candidate.
Alton B. Parker, who ran for presi-
dent four years ago. is making
speeches on the Pacific coast in favor
of Mr.. Bryan. He made one last week
in Los Angeles, and now it is an
nounced that he will address the PEG
pie of San Francisco.
-Four years ago Mr. Parker had only
Bryan's nominal support, and Bryan
men did not even make a pretense of
supporting him. The result was that
he carried only the southern states
and was Overwhelmingly defeated. Ii
this year he had refused to take part
In Mr.. Bryan's campaign he could not
have been blamed.
But Mr.. Parker, and with him prob
ably that wing of the party which
heretofore has opposed Bryan, now
forgets the past and takes off his coat
for the party candidate. He will do
all in his power to elect Bryan, which
is more than several candidates
against Mr. Taft at the Chicago con
vention are doing for the Republican
nominee.-Chicago Journal (Ind)

DREAMS OF $1,000
STRANGE VISION COMES TO MRS.
RANCIPHER THREE TIMES.
Washington Woman Then Consults
Lawyer and After Two Years
Litigation Gets Mothers
Insurance Money.

Tacoma. Wash.-Dreams have been
worth 81 900 to Mrs. Clara Rancipher,
living at 445 St Helene avenue, to
whom the supreme court. at Olympia
awarded a judgment for that amount
on certificate of insurance issued
by the Women of Woodcraft. From
psychological standpoint the case is
one of the most curious that has ever
come up in the county.
In January, 1904, Mrs Minnie Sulli-
van. of Seattle, the mother of Mrs.
Raneipher, died. A short time before
her death she had increased her insur-
ance and changed beneficiaries, leaving
81 900 to Mrs. Rancipher. After her
death Mrs. Rancipher not knowing
she was a beneficiary, paid but little
attention to the insurance But later,
being in Seattle and knowing that her
mother affiliated with the Woodcraft.
she visited the secretary and asked
if there was any insurance. She was
assured that there was none for her.
Two years passed and she had forgot
ten all about it. Then she dreamed
that her mother had left her 81 900 in
surance in the Women of Woodcraft.
The dream was SO strongly impressed
on her mind that she made another
inquiry of the Woodcraft. only to be
told there was no insurance in her
name.
A short time later the same dream
came again. And a week after the
second dream she dreamed it a third
time. This decided her and she placed
the matter in the hands of an attorney.
He heard her story with doubt, but be-
gan an investigation and was sur
prised to find that she was the bene-
ficiary to the amount she had dreamed.
There were technicalties in the way
of the payment, the application for the
change of beneficiaries and the in
crease of the insurance having been
made but ten days before the death of
Mrs. Sullivan. However, the bylaws
of the Woodcraft hold that an appli-
cation for a raise of insurance was as
good as the delivered policy Never
theless. the Woodcraft refused to pay
and lawsuit lasting two years com
lower courts bat were successfully set
aside until the supreme court put a
Quietus upon the litigation by its de-
cision.
A peculiar feature of the litigation
was that in May of last year Mrs Ran
cipher dreamed that the superior court
here would give her a judgment for
$1,000. The case was then in court
with but little prospect of settlement.
Two months later the superior court
gave her the decision just as she had
dreamed it.
And to cap the climax" said Mr.,
Raneipher, the husband of Mrs. Ran
cipher, Il was coming in from Stella
coon on a trolley car. A man across
the aisle was reading a morning pa

The Harvester Trust.

That bueking a trust is uphill bust
ness may be judged from the report in
the New York Journal of Commerce
that:
THE hemp-growers' combine, formed
several months ago to fight the har-
vester trust. has proven failure, and
the latter is now buying hemp at its
own prices"
What is known as the "hemp-grow-
ers combine" does not deal in real
hemp or fax, but in such grasses and
fibers as are used in the manufacture
of binding Irvine.
Paragraph 566 of the tariff law
places all such grasses and fibers on
the free list, which shows now other
trusts and combines would fare if not
protected by the tariff Competition
has broken the power Of the hemp
growers combine. but its competitor.
the harvester trust, which is protected
by the tariff on the agricultural ma
chinery it manufactures, is flourishing
like green bay tree II the harvester
trust was not protected by the tariff
We might expect to see the price OF
agricultural machinery much less than
it now is.
1t will be interesting OF see if the
harvester trust, having forced the
shemp-growers' combine to reduce
the price Of the raw material. will sell
Irvine any cheaper to the wheat grow
ers.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, tho
brillance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the check
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

STEALS TO HUNT TREASURE.
Youthful Dime Novel Reader Caught

careful perusal of Captain Kids Re

his own.
Young Mr. Katz started an expe-

excavations in the square. and for
more than an hour they dug, While

Burglar Shot at Weyerhauser

Frank Daniels, bartender in the sa-
loon of Chas. Dale at Weyerhauser,
was awakened about O'Clock Saturday
morning by hearing someone tampering
with the cash drawer. Through hole
in the door separating his bedroom from
the bar room he saw man behind the
door taking the cash from the drawer.
Without warning he picked up shot
gun and fired. The charge struck the
burglar in the side, penetrating his arm
and breast. Six shot lodged in his
heart and he lived but two hours:
The burglar gave his name as John
Perkins, age 25, home Oconto. An in
quest and post mortem were held Satur-
day, and the officers not being able to
locate his relatives, the body was buried
at Weyerhauser.
Daniels is being held on the charge
of manslaughter and will have his hear
ing tomorrow. Two years ago this sa-
loon was robbed, but the thieves took
the precaution to chloroform the bar
tender. Daniels says he did not intend
to kill the man,
