the loan was usually to clear up an

Charles; Preparing for Shade.
A car load of nursery stock was
-unloaded at Richfield this week, foI
M. P Johnson as agent for the
nursery. The stock was taken out
at once, and most of it is now in
the ground and growing into money
The trees for the city park arrive
the first of the week---some as fine
looking trees as any one would want
to see.
A number of the public spirited
citizens turned out and dug the
holes and are planting the trees as
expeditiously as the weather will
permit. The grounds, which were
graded last fall, are in the very
best of condition, and the sowing of
the lawn and the planting of the
trees need wait on only the doing.
Large enough trees were purchas-
ed so that even this year there will
be a rather noticeable shade. BY
another year, if the trees are well
cared for, there will be enough of
a shade to attract almost any one
who has been out on the treeless
prairie; and of course each years
growth makes it that much better.
1t will be but a few years until no
town in the state can boast finer
park than Richfield

And Nebraska Democrats
Face The Old Trouble.
His Friends Demand Com
nendali0n In Platform.
Other Faction Lays: mo Steam
Roller Can Crush Our Heads"

Fremont Neb., July 24.-After sever
al conferences lasting until late hour
tonight there was evidence that the
rival factions of the Democratic party
in Nebraska are anything but united
so far as concerns the platform to be
adopted at tomorrow's state conVen-
ton. The point at issue was the de-
mand of William J. Bryan's friends for
representation on the resolutions com
mittee and their desire that the plat
form contain commentator of the
thrice Democratic Presidential candi-
date. While every leader was talking
harmony it was apparent that the mat
ter was in no wise settled.
Those who have used their utmost
efforts to eliminate trouble tonight
predicted that unless Mr.. Bryan's sup
porters permitted the plans mapped
out by the parry leaders to go through,
split might occur tomorrow. Friends
of Senator Hitchcock were busy 70
night attempting to preserve the pro-
gram as originally arranged to AVOID
the mention of any persons which
would result In party dissension and
10 eonf1ne the resolutions to those ma
tional and state issues on which all
factions were agreed.
The followers of Mayor Dahlman OF
Omaha were mot looking for trouble,
as the mayor put II, but, he added, we
are here TO get in front of any steam
roller that comes our way and see
whether it can run over us"
Charles w Bryan announced that
the Bryan followers were for peace,
but that any attempt by the Dahlman
men to reflect on the former Presi
Dental candidate would meet with
vigorous offensive movement.
Perhaps the most significant feature
of the convention conditions vas
the prominence given by placards to
the candidacy of Governor Judson
Harmon of Ohio for the Presidential
nomination.
What we want to know" said May
or Dahlman." is whether Mr.. Bryan in
the event of Nebraska Democrats ex-
pressing themselves favorable to Har-
mon will support or whether he will
take the same position as a year ago,
