BRYAN Doing His Share.

The tour of William Jennings
Bryan throughout the West, in be-
half Of Governor Wilson, is being
made at great personal sacrifice to
the peerless leader from Nebraska.
After opening his campaign in Den
YER, on September IA, Mr. Bryan
whirls through Colorado. Utah, Mon
tana, California, Nevada, and Wyom-
ing. He will return to Lincoln on
October 2, and expects to devote the
rest of his time to the campaign in
the Middle West and the East.
"Mr. Bryan is giving up at least
$4,000 by giving all his time to the
campaign" said Congressman S. A.
Burleson, chairman of the speakers
bureau. Mr.. Bryan has written a
number of very gracious letters to
Governor Wilson and to members of
the national campaign committee
and said that he wanted to give all
his time from September IA to Nov
mber to Wilson and Marshall. Mr..
Bryan has also contributed $1,000
and his work in the, West is sure to
be most effective"
Some Of. those newspapers that
never miss an opportunity to slander
Bryan should make a note of the
above. Bryan is patriot and will
do as much for the success Of the
Democratic ticket as any Democrat in
the country. He not only made lib
eral cash donation to the campaign,
but is now giving his valuable time
by making speeches no other man
could make. What the Democratic
party needs is more men Of the Bry-
an stamp.

CONFESSES ROBBERY
FEARED OFFICERS WOULD SUs-
PECT his BROTHER.
I,ank Clerk Tells How He Arranged
Bogus Package and Took the
Money.

Money.
William Fl. Bell, 20 years old, a
bank clerk, Tuesday night confessed
thar he robbed the local First Nation
l! Bank, Tuesday, of package coa-
ta:nirg $4,000 of the Louisville and
Nashviile's payroll, and substituted a
bogus package in its place. Fear
that the officers would suspect his
brother is said to have caused Bell to
corfess.
The young bank clerk has been In
the employ of the local bank for two
years. In his confession to detec-
tiTes, he declared that he had plan
ned to secure the money a week be-
fore the payroll was made up. Last
Sunday he made a bogus package,
similar in shape and size to the pay
rel package Of money filed with
magazine slips.
On Tuesday afternoon, when the
Louisville and Nashville payroll was
being fixed for shipment he slipped
the package containing the $4,000
into his locker and substituted the
package of paper in its place. No
one noticed the change and the bogus
package together with a shipment OF
$4,000 was taken to the express Of
fee and receipted.
Tuesday night Bell took the pack
age of money to his home In a suit
case. Activities by detectives ard Of
Gcisls when the robbery became
known caused him to return the
money Saturday. He wrapped the
package in a newspaper and after
notifying the cashier of the First Ma.
tio, al Bank where the missing mon
ey would be found, placed it on the
back steps of the bank building.

WOMAN sues SURGEON FOR HIS
CARELESSNESS.
PERFORMED OPERATION
For Two Years Mrs. Ginther Carries
About a LINEN Napkin 8 Foot
SQUARE Before She Learns Truth,
and Then She Sues for Ten Thous-
and Dollars Damages.

The New York World says Mzs.
Charles Ginther Of Newark, N. J.,
not only has lived for two years with
a twelve-inch linen napkin implant-
ed in her side, but is well enough
aftel her unusual experience to get
angry about it and to sue for $4,000
damages.
The defendant is Dr.. Charles L. Ill,
head Of the surgical staff Of st. Mar
tins Hospital Of that city. He is one
OF the most famous surgeons IN the
country. He performed an operation
upon Mrs. Ginther in 1910 and SUIT
tired up his incision, It Is alleged.
without making sure that all the
surgical dressings had been removed
oy his attendants.
To Re sure, Mrs. Ginther didn't
know s1e was carrying the napkin
about with her until two months ago.
Who would? 1t is scarce,y to be sup
posed that, knowing she was toting
about foot length of linen, inter-
nally, she would let 1t remain where
it was.
But she decided, after finding It
ard getting over her first feeling
Of amazement-that she had suffer-
ed $4,000 worth. Of serious dis
con- fort.
It was grave operation that was
performed upon Mrs. Ginther in
1910. Dr.. Ill was assisted by several
Of the sister-nurses OF ST. Martins,
who are noted for their skill and
carefulness. The operation was
success and after G few weeks in the
hospital Mrs. Ginther was able to
return to her home at No. SIS Cot
tage place in better health than she
haa been for years.
She was perfectly we'll until the
latter part Of last July, when an ap-
parently trihing eruption appeared
upon her skin, close to the scar LETT
by the incision through which the
operation had been performed.
She did not pay very much atten-
ton to this until one day she saw
q bit Of lint protruding from the
enc Of the old incision. She pulled
this out and was surprised beyond
uEliel Hutu IL grew W OIL 10SA, IUo
inches, four inches and finally eight
inches in length.
Then she was afraid to go any
further with the linen, and hurried
back to St. Martins wnere she show
ed the strange souvenir to DR.. Ill.
Flo used the knife again and with
drew the rest Of the napkin. 1t was
intact, even to the red embroidered
laundry mark.
Mrs. Ginther recovered from the
shock and pain Of the second opera
tio1. within few days. But she felt
that she had gone through much
unnecessary Inconvenience, and so
she sued.
It is not charged in her complaint
that DR.. III personally was respon-
sihle for the napkin being sewed up
within the woman's SIDE, but since
he was in charge Of the operation, he
is blamed for the queer accident.
The record-chart Of the operation,
examined at ST. Martins, shows that
he nurses reported thvy had removed
every dressing placed in the incis-
ion. Physicians SAID that probably
no permanent harm had been done to
Mrs. Ginther by the presence OF the
big piece Of linen.
