GREAT NEBRASKAN
MOVED TO TEARS
Almost Entire Population Of Lincoln
Greet and Cheer Bryan on
His Return Home

Lincoln, Neb., Nov 3-The greatest
demonstration in the history Of Lincoln
was given in honor Of William Jennings
Bryan by his fellow townsmen last night
on his return to his city al the close Of
his campaign. NOn-parisan in character
it was participated in by democrats and
republicans alike, and the democratic
candidate was driven through the streets
cheered by almost the entire population
Of the city.
The reception was rendered TO Mr..
Bryan as a citizen of Lincoln rather than
as candidate, and in his speech he
avoided all reference to partisan issues.
In the parade which followed his auto
mobile from the Union Pacific station,
however, many political uansparencies
were carried.
Mr.. Bryan reached his home city at
$50 O'Clock last night on his special train
coming direct from Kansas where he
spent the day in final whirl of speech
making. His train was met at the Union
station by tremendous crowd, and as
the score of carriages and automobiles
forming his immediate escort started
across the viaduct from the railroad sta
ton the great parade fell in line behind
him.
The parade moved through the main
street of the city through solid masses Of
cheering humanity, and after circling
through the city returned to the Hotel
Lincoln, where Bryan spoke overlooking
the public square. A great shout rose
from the multitude filling the square as
he appeared He was introduced by F. c.
Sheppard. president of the Bryan Club,
and spoke for half an hour.
Mr.. Bryans speech was greeted with
vociferous cheers The candidate was
moved to tears as he made an affection
ate reference to his wife. and when he
closed the demonstration accorded him
was such as he rarely had experienced in
his three campaigns,
Il believe am going be elected, he
said. More than that, believe it is
going to be more than a bare victory. |
believe that there is a stirring of the con-
science of the American people; moral
awakening. an uprising that means a
sweeping victory,and will swear in your
presence that no one who votes for me
will ever have occasion to be ashamed of
the vote he casts"
4 shall not make political speech to-
night among my neighbors,' said Mr.
Bryan. "As the recipient of such gem
erous welcome shall speak to you as a
man to those who live beside him. There
are unpleasant features in public life, but
its rewards far outweigh its unpleasant
part, and nothing has occurred in my life,
that appreciate more than the cordial
reception that you have given me in my
home city at the close of this campaign.
my friends, am at the end Of my
third presidential campaign. Today 49,,
100000 of votes will decide whether /
am to occupy the seat that Washington,
jefferson. Jackson and Lincoln occupied.

(Applause and cries of you will.') You
will have your part in that victory, or in
that defeat. 1t may be that the election
will turn on Nebraska and it may be that
Nebraska viii turn on votes so few in
number that the city of Lincoln may de-
eide my fate.

OF aims houses, houses of correction
and homes for the friendless. Push
means a lift for a neighbor in
trouble. Push means a lift fol
yourself out of the slough of de-
spondency and shiftlessness, out of
trouble, real and fancied. Push
never hurts anybody. The harder
the push the better, if it is given
in the right direction. Always
push up hill-few people need a
push down hill. Don't be afraid
OF your muscles and sinews; they
were given you to use. Don't be
afraid of your hands; they were
meant for service. Don't be
afraid of what your companion
may say. Don't be afraid of your
conscience; it will never reproach
you for a good deed-but push
with all your heart, mind and soul
whenever you see anything or any
body that will be better for a good
long, strong, determined push.
Push! It is just the word for
6he grand elaar morning of life; it |
is just the word for strong ~pms
and young hearts; it is just the
word for the world that is full of
work as this is. If anybody is in

DESPERATE DEED
OF a Youthful Bride---Sang and
Prayed a Few Hours Be-
fore Shielding.

A few more facts have come to
light on the untimely death of the
poor little woman who shot and kill
ed herself last week while her hus-
band was at the barn feeding the
stock.
Mrs. Genie owen was laid to rest
on Sunday at Mt. Union, and all that
is left to tell the story of her sad
death is the new made grave and a
heart-brOken husband. Genie was
only sixteen years old, and two
months age she took the marriage
VOWS without the consent of her
parents. Disobedience had nreyed
on her mind until she was beside
herself At supper the day before
she died she told her husband to eat
all of the biscuits, as they would be
the last he would ever eat that she
had cooked. She sang sad little
song while cooking supper and asked
her husband to join her and help her
sing. She sang another and at her
repeated request he sang with her.
Then she asked him to pray with
her, saying she had never heard him
pray. At first he treated it as a
joke but when she became so in
earnest he knelt down with her and
they prayed together.
The next morning she arose cheer
full as ever and went about her
work, and he went out to feed the
stock. While he was gone she shot
herself through the right temple,
dying nstantly.-[Bowling Green Re-

HARD BLOW DEALT
To Bell Telephone CO.---Sale De-
clared Illegal and Hold
ings a Monopoly.

Chicago Feb. 3.--Judge Windes, in
the Cook County Circuit Court here,
rendered a decision of Importance to
the telephone industries of the coun
try. BY virtue of the courts decision
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, known as the Bell
company, is directed to return to the
original Owaers ADJ shares of stock
in the Kellogg Switchboard and Sup
ply Company. of this city.
The court declared that the holding
of the Kellogg stock by the American
company was contrary to law, in that
it tended to create a monopoly.
The Kellogg company was organ
lied in 1902 byM lies Kellogg, who
later went to California because of
i'll health leaving a power of attorney
with Wallace DeWolfe. The latter,
1t is declared in the court record,
ira lsfer ID all of Kellogg's stock to
the American company, and, as the
Kellogg company made a speciality
of manufacturing for Independent tel
phone companies, the effect on the
trade of the transfer of the stock was
severely felt.
kellogg disapproved of the transfer
of stock, and brought suit to have it
set aside. Minority stockholders Joined
in the suit, alleging that it was agains
public policy to allow one corporation
to hold stock in a competing company,
and also that the transfer of the stock
constituted a violation of the Sherman
antitrust law.
Judge Windes, in rendering his de-
cision said
"The transfer of stock was void
as against the law and the public pol
icy of the State of Illinois, in that it
tended to create a monopoly, although
not a complete one"
