of the boil weevil.
That tick hunter, from Coxburg, is
over in the delta hunting ticks, but he
says he can not find any. He stopped
over one night with the old Gray Eagle
and talked ticks so much until the old
Gray Eagles feathers turned up
wrong. The tick hunter claims his
medicine will cure all kind of diseases.
So the next morning he got out his
saddle pockets and began to show his
wonders and what they have done.
He went down in his pockets and pull
ed out two lousy pigs, one before and
one after dipping, so he talked on that
subject awhile, then he put his little
pigs back and got out two puppies
that had the mango, one before and
one after dipping, so he explained
what that did for dogs. He said if
Pap L. will dip his bear dogs they will
nab the next train that will come along
by his house aud pull it off the track
and tear it all to pieces, so he put his
puppies back in his pocket, then he
pulled out two old hens which had the
pop eye, and said to Eagle, if you will
dip your hens this medicine will cure
the pop eye and will make your hens
lay forged eggs. So the old Gray
Eagle got his boys out after the old
hens and like to have run the boys
down trying to catch the old hens, but
failed to catch them. The old Gray
Eagle wanted to dip them so he could
see a forged egg!
Best wishes to all,
GRAY EAGLE.

of the issues of the campaign.
The PRECEDENT promises a revision of
the tariff on a scientific basis so far
as may be necessary to keep prices

done by the continuance of the tariff

Hcans should be in control Of the next
congress.
Referring to the high cost Of living.
the president expressed an opinion
that American Workmen were very
much better off than those of Europe
Not only were they able to pay the
high cost of living, he said, but they

no more to do with advancing the high
cost Of living than the latest Atlantic
cable tariff, he declared

NeBrsskan Declares ROOsevelt's Atti-
tude Toward the Trusts Is Less
IoUicnI Than of Socialists.


Sacramento, Cal, Sept. 25.-Ushered
into the Democratic state convention
hall to the tune of 'Dixie,@ William
Jennings Bryan addressed a gathering
that had just chosen as its temporary
chairman Former congressman A
Caminetti. a man pledged to the pol
icies OF Bryan.
Col Bryan arrived but a moment
after the rout of the forces of Theo-
Baltimore. Caminetti won by q large
majority over mayor Owens. of Rich
mond, supported by Bell for the tenn
porary craftsmanship.
In his address Mr.. Bryan declared
that governor JohnsOn's speech at the
Republican national convention in Chi
cagO should be the gem of the con-
ventiOn," and that in his opinion the
claim of the contested delegates from
San Francisco (disallowed by the ma
tional committee) was Just.
Il thought the Progressive delegates
had a clear case" he said. THE pre-
ponderance of right was on their side,
and yet thought there was some right
in the position of their opponents, in
that California had changed the ma
tional system Of representation and,
as it seemed to me, changed it to disad-
vantage" He arraigned Mr. Roose-
velt's attitude toward the trusts which,
he said, was less logical than that of
the Socialists.
To the amusement of the Democrats.

convention before entering the Dem
ocratic convention hall He confined
his remarks to an expression of ap-
probation at being asked to speak be-
fore Republican convention.
