Some Democratic insurgency,

The Republic hears that Gre
publican influences are CO. operating
with email coterie of Democrats
here In Washington and elsewhere
to make 'Bryanism' an issue. "
This reported movement to put
again at the front the Democratic
hero of three battles is referred to
as an attempt to handicap this party
both In 1910 and 1912. On the
same authority it is stated that
Eastern Democrats are opposed to
the plan to make Champ Clark
speaker because "Mr. Clark's
associations in Democratic affairs
and his personal sympathies have
been such as 10 put him IN very
close relation with Mr.. Bryan"
As speaker Mr.. Clark, it is pointed
out, might select for floor leader $50

James Of Kentucky" One report
has 1t that thirty five members OF
the House have agreed to oppose

Democrats should get majority in

The Hyde Case.

The trial of DR.. Hyde of Kansas
City, under charge of poisoning
Mr.. Swope a millionaire, dragged
its weary length CT Ave weeks along
to a final conclusion, and the first
of this week the jury reported
verdict of guilty as charged and
assessed the punishment as life
imprisonment.
This is a strange and fearful end
ing for a man Of bright iatellact,
wealth and high soeial standing.
DR.. Hyde married a niece OF
Col. Thomas Swope, Kansas City
millionaire. The colonel had made
a will bequeathiug most of his re-
naming property, after having
made large donations to Kansas
City in the way of parks, etc, to his
nephew and nieces. The colonel
seemed to grew dissatisfied with his
will and frequently mentioned his
) determination to change 1t, giving
the bulk of his property to charl-
table purposes.
The theory of the prosecution
was that DR.. Hyde wanted to kill
Col. Swope before he changed his
will. Likewise that he introduced
typhoid germs into the family of the
Swopes who would inherit under the
will, hoping to remove several OF
the heirs that, through his wife, he
might secure greater share of the
large SwoPe estate.
Typhoid fever broke out in the
family and one member died.
DR.. Hyde was experimenting with
typhoid germs during this time.
The case was hard tough on both
sides.
Every thing that money and
influence could do to clear the
doctor was done. Able and promi'
next lawyers were secured and every
effort made to casta doubt on the
minds of the jury. Public senti-
ment has been against the doctor
from the start.
The fact of his having typhoid
germs in his possession and of his
buying the deadly poison, cyanide
of potassium in capsules, and the
death of Col. Swope in convusions
soon after taking capsule adj
ministered by DR.. Hyde, has created
general sentiment of guilt. Added
to this the we'll defined motive OF
great wealth gave the people good
grounds for their belief. Howev4r,
the prevailing sentiment was that
with all these evidences of guilt the
Jury could never be convinced

The Weather.

The first of the week brought us
heavy rains again. The ground
was thoroughly drenched. We are
now ready to cry enough. The
weather is row cool and pleasant
with bright sun most OF the time.
The tail of the comet seemed TO
make no perceptible difference in
the weather or atmosphere.

DR.. Hyde was found guilty OF
murder in the first degree. His
punishment will be life imprison-
ment unless he can get the thing
reversed in seme manner. The ver-
dict meets the approval of most
people in this locality. He seems
to have got about what he deserved,
according to general sentiment.

INSOMNIA Leads to Madness, If Not Remedied In Time.
INSoM MIA

Experiments satisfied me- some : years ago. writes a Topeka woman. that coffee was the direct cause of the insomnia from which I suffered terribly, as well as the extreme nerv- ousness and acute dyspepsia which made life most painful thing for me.
 I had been a coffee drinker since childhood, and did not like to think that the beverage was doing me all this harm. But it was and the time came when I had to face the fact, and protect myself. I therefore gave up adopted Postum for my hot drink at meals.
 'I began to note improvement in my condition very soon after I took on Postum. The change proceeded grad of only a few weeks before I found myself entirely relieved-the nervous ness passed away, my digestive appa- ratus was restored to normal efficiency. and began to sleep, restfully and peacefully.
 These happy conditions have con- am safe in saving that I owe them en tirely to Postunn. for when I began to drink it I ceased to use medicines Wellville.' in plSgs.

 Beautiful Decorations
 It was apparent to everyone that much time and patience had been ex- pended by the decoration committee in working the marked changes in the drill shed. The steelwork under the roof was completely excluded at the ball. and there was no indication that 1t was there, so effectively had the bunting been used.

The 1910 ball had about 800 in at tendance, the armory being comforta- ply filled and allowing room for the dancers, although during the first half there was no more than was needed. The weather was propitious for the annual event and most attractive had been made the armory drill shed, a new style of decorating being em- ployed, with the result that it brought many compliments to the company of hcers and members. who worked inde- fatigably for the success it was. They deserved all the praise they received and more firmly established the well-s known fact that when the Third com pany attempts such an affair only a success can be anticipated.
