TRUDGES THROUGH CITY
 UNNOT|CED
GREAT PACIFICIST, HERE FOR REST, RECOGNIZED BY FEW; WILL SPEAK FRIDAY NIGHT.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

\ tall, Well-Dullt man WnOSc ndil!c is familiar to every man, woman and
 child in the United States, walked Up and down the streets of Prescott yes tcrday and, in spite of his striking ap- pearance and familiar face, was all most unnoticcd. The man was Will liam Jennings Bryan, ex-secretary of State, several times candidate for the presidency and the most popular Chautauqua lecturer and temperance advocate in the country.
 A few persons who glanced at him in passing recognized him, some from having seen him before and others from having seen his photograph. But the "great paciicist' was in the main just human being, and managed to saunter through the town without be- ing generally discovered
 Bryan arrived in Prescott Sunday and spoke that night at the Congre- gational church. He will remain here until Wednesday, when he will go to Phoenix and Tucson, delivering speeches in each city. He will return to Prescott Friday and speak that night in the Elks' theatre.
 Bryan has changed little since he was here last He is the same husky giant and, while trudging through the streets, reminded one of a tame grizzly. In spite of his turbulent po- litical career during the last few years he seems to have lost none of his old time confidence. And his dark, curly hair still insists on cropping out from under his hat and waving around in the breeze. He will rest in this city until Wednesday visiting with his son, William Jennings Bryan, IT,, assistant United States attorney, who is at tending the sessions of the Federal court.
 When Bryan was asked what sub jcct he intended to speak on Friday night he grinned humorously and re piled, Tt will be a campaign speech
 Whether the speech will be a real campaign speech dealing with the dominant issues before the American people at the November election or whether Bryan will deliver one of his | famous orations on humanity, peace, | grave ir-cc CT other subjects is a mystery, ever among the Democrats. | for the cx-secretary, since his resig ! nation, has caused many of his most | staunch followers to lose faith in him and these are now wondering why he is out stumping for Wilson.
 At the Congregational Church.
 At the close of very brilliant ad dress at the First Congregational church, given Sunday evening by Rev. J. K. Browne, D. D., of Turkey, William Jennings Bryan, who waa present, was asked to make a few re- marks.
 He spoke of his experiences while making a tour of the world, in which he came into very close touch with many of the great mission stations. During this tour he became an ardent of the wonderful work being done by them for the civilization of the world IL was a pleasure for him to sec in the tremendous missionary an evidence of the fact that America leads the world, so far. at least, as philanthropy is concerned. Wherever America is known, in Ori- cntal lands, by her missionary repre- sentativcs, she is respected and loved, but wherever the native idea of Amer ;ca is gained from the grasping and corrupt lives of the commercial repre- of our land she is apt to be held in disrcputc. He believed SO in the work of the mis- Sions that he had provided for thc of various native children in several Of the mission schools, I1 Egypt, India and elsewhere.
 Mir. Bryan is an active and loyal of the Presbyterian church, and the splendid influence he has eN- crted for righteousness in public life is parallclcd by his keen interest in Christianity and all 1t stands for. DEVELOPMENT IS
