playing fireman with his sister Myrtle
on one of the fire escapes of their
home at No 4S2 West 15Oth street late

and Myrtle, who is year older, slid up
and down the stairs to the fire escape
of the first floor below, while their
mother was busy in the kitchen. His
sister grabbed him by his shirtwaist as
he went over the edge of the grating.

CRUSHING BRYAN DEFEAT
Not One of His Friends or Ideas
Won in Nebraska.
by Telegraph to The Tribune.


Omaha, Aug. I-William j. Bryan sur
fered more of a reputation in the Demo-
cratic state primaries yesterday than he
cid last month. when he was turned down
ir, the state convention. Every Bryan
friend, every Bryan candidate and every
Bryan idea was defeated and the candl-
dates whom Bryan fought were nominated
by large majorities.
The most conspicuous example of the de-
United States Senator, in which Metcalfe,
Bryan's closest friend and editor of his
newspaper, was defeated by Hitchcock
three to one. Another case was that of
Shallenberger for Governor, who was de-
feated by Jim Dahlman. Shallenberger
had agreed to sign q county option bill
in return for Bryans support, Dahlman
ablcs
The Democratic Congressional nominees
are four against Bryan, one neutral and
one Bryan man. The state Senatorial
ticket from the Omaha district is with
the exception of one man composed of
Bryan undesirables
On the Republican side insurgency is
defeated all along the line. unless possibly
for Governor, where Cady, stand -patter," g"
and AIdrich, insurgent, are running neck
and neck with the indications for Cady as
winner Burkett, at the head of the ticket,
