BRYAN PASSIVE
when GIVEN LIE
BY OMAHA BOSS
Former Secretary Of State
Shows No Fear of His
Insulter.

Lincoln, Neb., March 21-The lie
was passed to w. j. Bryan this aft
ernoon by Col. John G. Maher, local
politician.
The insult was received by the
former secretary of state with becom-
ing meekness, no effort whatever be-
ing made to resent it.
The short, but ugly word, came as
the climax to an alteration, follow
ing an inquiry made by Colonel
Maher of Judge Samuel D. Weakley of
Birmingham, Ala, as to whether the
latter was being pad for his speech
at a mass meeting ton ght, held to
celebrate Bryan's birthday and open
the prohibition campaign in the state.
Mr.. Bryan heard the inquiry, and
coming forward said to Judge Weak
ley:
"Maher is the only man who would
ask that question. He thinks of moth
ing but money, and money will get
HIM to do anything"
"Mr. Bryan, that statement is u
lie," Maher retorted. "Any one thai
says I ever took money in a political
way utters lie, and you know it is
a lie"
Bryan merely replied that that was
shMr. Makers opinion" and, with
Judge Weakley, walked away.
A few minutes later Bryan returned
alone and said to Maher:
"You are the only man l know who
would insult a guest Of this city"
An exchange of words followed and
Colonel Maher flashed forth:
"Mr. Bryan, have never taken any
money in a political way, but what
have you done? You were a candidate
six times and every time you received
the support of the brewers. You are
Ged up right now with Jim Dahlman
lmayor of Omaha), who is friendly to
tie brewers, and with Others who
helped collect money for your cam
pa gn from the brewers."t
Il have your enmity and it is BEN
eft to me-" Bryan retorted, as he
turned away.

GETTING THE FACTORIES.

There was time not 50 many years
ago that the big manufacturing in
stitutions We're developed nearly ex-
clusively in the large cities. There
were exceptions, of course, as some of
the best known manufactured lines
from the beginning were made In
small ties. AS general thing, how
ever, the rule holds coed.
In late years, however, many manu-
facturers in the large cities are NOV
ing to the smaller cites. By doing
this they get away from the cramped
quarters in the big centers, they
reach cheap land, escape labor unrest
and are able to turn out their prod
ucts under better conditions.
Pine Bluff is eager for more fac
iorles. Its bus ness men act wisely
III doing everything in heir power to
encourage their coming. The smaller
cites have not received a square deal
III some respects, but in this trek OF
the factories to the open spaces they
have an Opportunity to grow more IN
portanf, and no opportunity should be
Overlooked.
Pine Bluff can offer advantages to
. the manufacturer possessed by few
cities. In the center of great and
growing country, most manufacturers

tation facilities are the best. and

five GENERALS URGE
Big CANAL DEFENSES
Army Officers Tell House Committee
Appropriations Should Be Nearly
Quadrupled.

Five generals of the United States
army appeared before the House Com
mittee on Appropriations yesterday to
urge large expenditures to extend the
fortifications of the Panama Canal
While the hearing was held behind CLOS
ed doors it is the understanding that
each of the generals declared 1t to be his
opinion that 1t was of the highest i'm
portance that the Notifications at Pan
anna should be so strengthened as to meet
any possible emergency. An appropria-
ton of sS.234.C00 was recommended for
the purpose.
The military officers who discussed
canal fortIfications were Gen. Scott,
Chief of Staff of the army: Gen. Goeth-
ais, governor OF the Canal Zone; Gen.
Edwards, who Is in command OF the
military forces at Panama: Gen. Wea-
yer, chief OF the Coast Artillery, and
Gen. Crozier. Chief of Ordnance.
Last year Congress appropriated the
sum of s., ,63e AS for fortifications at Pan
anna. The witnesses who appeared be-
fore the committee strongly urged that
the appropriation should be nearly quad
rupled in accordance with the estimate
forwarded TO Congress by the Secretary
of War The Secretary of War asked
for an appropriation in excess OF 5000.

IF KIDNEYS AND
 BLADDER BOTHER
Take a ulass of Salts to flush out your Kidneys and neutraiize irri-
 tating acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re- sult from uric acid. says noted au- thority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder. where it often remains to IT. ritate and infiame. causing a burning, scalding sensation. or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread. the wat CT passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again. there is difficulty in avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urina- ton. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one Of the most simple ail- ments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your phar- macist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, con- tinue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so ii is no longer a soure of irrita- ton to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again.
 Jads Salts is inexpensive. harmless. and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caus- ed by uric acid irritation. lad Salts is splendid, for, kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever.
 Here you have a pleasant, efferves- cent Whitewater drink. which quickly relieves bladder trouble

CANADIANS STRONG.
 IN CLOSE FIGHTS
Hand-to-Hand Battling of Ca. ns,dians Elicits Much Favor
 able Comment.
BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IT

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE. March 11.-(Correspond- ence of The Associated s.)-The Canadians have won a reputation as good fighters in hand-to-hand encoun- ters.. Their ability in this respect was lately demonstrated when an ex- hibition of twenty-five started out on a trench raid and returned with 23. having accounted for about double their number and destroyed two ma chine guns and a considerable DOT tion of trench.
 There has been a certain livelihood in the German trenches and a bomb attack was planned When darkness fell the bomb throwers crept forward, making slow progress. A false move. a cough or a sound of any kind meant instant death. The Prussian Guards in the German trenches were appar- ently in merry mood, and snatches of love song came occasionally from the trench.
 At last the barbed wire entangle- ments were reached. They were stout CT than had been anticipated It took a long time and the barrier was cut. There was a delay Another party farther along the line was not yet ready for the final runs. Patiently the party waited: they even joked in whispers. At length the signal came to advance; the other party was al- ready in advance. The Canadians bounded forward. A Prussian sentry started up to sound the alarm, but he was shot dead by the officer.
 The Prussians were now aroused. Flares burst out all along the line and revealed trench full of the Prussian Guard. The Canadians rushed in, throwing their bombs and bayonetting freely. Their leader was already wounded. The guardsmen had been taken by surprise and rushed in con fusion from their ,dug-outs. One of them held up his hands and shouted in English that he wished to surren- der. but a rifle pointing from be- hind through his upraised arms re- veaied the ruse. A revolver bullet settled the first mans account and a second went down with a bayonet in his chest
 Farther up the line a machine gun was just beginning to get dangerous when a we'll directed bomb sent it into space Hand-to-hand the Cana. dians exacted a heavy toll. They carried everything before them, and at thend could go no farther as a heap of dead bodies and demolished trench barred the way.
 The return journey to the British trenches had to he made across bullet swept area. One man was drag ging back the body of comrade. while another supporting comrade halted for moment while bomb was thrown. It was the luekiest shot of the whole night It fell right on the machine gun which was most disas- trous, silencing it.
