BRYANOATS.
Democratic Candidate For Pres
ident Gives His Experience
As a Farmer on the Plains of
Nebraska.
OPENS THE CAMPAIGN
In Maryland With Senator Wei
lington at Cumberland.
The Senator Accuses the Presi
dent of Breaking Promises.
Cumberland, Md., Sept. 5. The open
ing- of the Democratic compaign for the
states of Maryland and West Virginia
at this place last night as rendered
memorable by the appearance on the
same platform of the Democratic na
tional standard bearer, William J.
Bryan, and United States Senator
George Wellington, who was elected as
a Republican. Both, these distinguished
gentlemen were in good voice, and both
Bpoke with their accustomed force.
Senator Wellington's speech, marked
tils formal renunciation of party ties on
account of the issues growing out of the
war with Spain. He had for this reason
prepared his speech with care and he
read it from typewritten manuscript.
Mr. Bryan spoke without notes, and
ne appeared at the meeting almost im
mediately after the arrival of the spe
cial train which had brought him
across the state of West Virginia and
thus far into the state of Maryland.
The Journey had been an arduous one,
covering, including the trip from Chi
cago, about 24 hours of railroad riding.
Still Mr. Bryan appeared in excellent
good torm, and he spoke with nia cus
tomary vim and vigor.
The journey of the presidential candi
date across the state was not devoid of
labor for him, for though he left the
train but once on the journey, he made
a number of brief addresses from the
rear platform of the hindmost car. This
car was especially adapted to Mr.
Bryan's purposes, being a composite
coach, including sitting room, sleeping
berths and kitchen. It was one of two
coaches comprising the train supplied
lor the tour of Col. J. T. McGraw, Dem
ocratic national committeeman for West
Virginia. The train was boarded at
Benwood Immediately after crossing the
Ohio river about noon, and on it, to
receive mm, Mr. Bryan found Mr. Mc
Graw and Col. L. Victor Baughman, the
personal representative of Senator Gor
man, national committeeman for this
state.
Good time was made across the Alle
grhanies, and, notwithstanding the nu
merous stops, Cumberland was reached
at 7:45 o'clock.
Beginning at Benwood, Mr. Bryan
spoKe in succession at Cameron, Man
nlngton, Fairmont. Grafton. Deer Park
and Piedmont. He also made very brief
remarks at a few other places. At eoch
place there were good sized crowds and
the candidate was cordially greeted.
The speeches of the day manifested a
somewhat greater tendency to discuss
economic questions than had been shown
on former occasions. At Cameron he
referred especially to the Republican
plea of prosperity, saying that the work-
ingman wanted not only a "full dinner
pail" but much more beside. He
charged significantly that the cost of
articles necessary to the existence and
comfort of the workingman had been
put out of proportion to the increased
Trice of labor.
During the day Mr. Bryan's attertion
was called to an extract from a New
York Republican newspaper saying
that Mr. Bryan had made more money
out of the oat crop raised on his Lin
coln farm the present year than the en
tire farm had cost him, putting the re
sult at $1,400 on 120 acres of land. Com
menting upon this statement, Mr. Bryan
said:
"The entire farm contains only 30
acres and cost me nearly $4,000. al
though the land is not worth that much
today. Instead of having 120 acres in
oats, I had only five acres in oats, and
the oats have not yet been threshed.
They will hardly yield 40 bushels to the
acre. Oats, instead of being 30 cents a
fcusbel in Nebraska, are worth 21 cnts
In Chicago. My oat crop will not bring
me over $40. The five acres upon which
the oats were raised cost me a little
more than $100 an acre, so that the
gross income this year will be less than
8 per cent on the original investment.
After taking out the cost of seed, culti
vation, harvesting and threshing the in
come will be reduced to less than 5 per
cent. The Republican papers use my
farm to illustrate the prosperity of the

farmer. If my experience Is a fair Illus
tration of what is going on in, the coun
try, it is not strange that the Republi
can party is losing votes among the ag
ricultural classes. The Republicans
point to the farmer when his crop is
good, but make no mention of the fact
that when his crop tails tie not only
loses hi3 ineome, but loses the money
put into the crop.
At Grafton Mr. Bryan said: '
"The Republican party 13 drifting
away from the people's interest. Tou are
at liberty to decide whether the condi
tions are such as you like, ana if not,
what reforms can improve Hiem. I be
lieve the Republican party is more clear
ly than ever placing the dollar above the
man, that Instead of regarding the man
as a man and deserving of what consid
eration the government gives, the Re
publican party is giving aid and encour
agement to organized wealth, measuring
men not by their natural rights, Dut Dy
their financial standing."
WHAT WELLINGTON SAID.
Senator Wellington in his address at
this place said that the nation was at
the parting of the ways and must decide
for all time for weal or for woe, and toe
believed the present tendency of the Re
publican party was full of inevitable
dangers ana disasters.
Senator Wellington did not believe
there was any danger of material
changes in the tariff and financial laws
in case of Bryan's election. "In the last
congress," he said, "the money measure
became a law. These questions are set
tled for the present at least. There i3
no immediate danger of an attack upon
the tariff, notwithstanding the fact that
the Republican party has surrendered
the idea of protection. And there is not
at issue in this campaign any direct leg
islation upon the money question, for
there is no possibility that there should
be within the next four years, after Mr.
Bryan's election, united majorities in
both nouses or congress."
At the mention of the probability of
Mr. JBryan s election the hisses which
had for a time been growing in volume
became ferocious. The senator stopped
.snort in nis speecn ana said:
"Did you ever hear that there were
three things that hiss now and then?
The first is a serpent, the second a goose
anu me imru a luoi.
This sally brought out a roar of ap
plause which was followed by a still
larger volume of hisses. These soon sub
sided, however, and afterwards the in
terruptions were for a time neither so
frequent nor so pronounced.
Continuing, Mr. Wellington referred to
Admiral Dewey's "bloodless victory."
"Embroilment with the natives follow
ed," he said, "and went on, "they were
jealous of foreign power. They hoped
for treatment as allies, they longed for
ireeaom, tney demanded the right to es
tablish their own government. It was
denied. The policy of equivocation upon
tne part or our administration began
and an outpost skirmish, for which no
responsible party has yet been found, was
made the pretext of tierce, cruel and re
lentless war. It has lasted two cam
paigns. It has cost us many precious
lives and nearly five hundred millions of
money of the gold standard bv this time
Yet what have we accomplished? At the
end of the first campaign the Filipinos
were witnin nve miles of Manila. Since
that time we are regaled frequently by
reports that the war is almost over. But

xveierxing to nis position upon the Paris
treaty Senator v, inymn m k.
voted for it because he wanted to bring
the war to a technical as well as to a
real close. He had. howemr nniv ..re

president's assurance that it was not his

and protect them in their liberty against
the world. But, sir, that intention faded
away against the malevolent influences
that have pursued his administration and
made themselves felt. Gradually the

adjourned: the treaty had been adopted;
the stipulated price was paid: our arm

As Senator Wellington proceeded the
signs or. disapproval oegan again to min
gle with the applause. There were occa
sional cries of "Put him out." One voice
yelled "Benedict Arnold," and another
called for "16 to 1."
Referring to Porto Rico, the senator
called attention to the attitude first and
last of the president on this subject. He
reiterated his charse of a secret alliance
with Great Britain. After a summary of
other events Mr. Wellington said:
"Such in bripf are the events which rtv
led up to the present campaign and have
iasnionea tne policy or tne teputncan ad
ministration under the leadership of Mc
Kinley., Such has been his vacillating
conduct and his policy. Weak In its na
ture, it is worse than that of the tyrant.
It leads to the same end. It commits our
country to the doctrine that we should be
free ourselves, but vet enslave other peo
ple. It commits the American republic to
the English system of colonization. I, for
one. register my antagonism to the prop
osition, i Believe that It is detrimental to
the best interests of our whole well being,
to our financial, commercial, intellectual
and social advancement. Further, I be
lieve that it is a menace, dark and strong.
to the existence of self-government among
us. '
Mr. Welllneton declared his conviction
that "President McKinley is but the pro
consul of the English oueen in the man
agement of American affairs."

RAILROAD MEWS.
Bock Island to Shorten Chicago
Kansas City Line.
lied net ion of 35 Miles to Be
Made by a Cut-OrT.
MUCH FASTER TRAINS.
Cut In Mileage Will Mean Pro
portionate Cut in Time.
At Present Bock Island is Long
est Route Between Cities.
Plans are being perfected by the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad
company for shortening the line of this
road between Chicago and Kansas City
thirty-five miles. This is to be ac
complished by building a cutoff between
Eldon, Iowa, and Trenton, Mo., and by
the elimination of a number of curves.
Work on the important Improvement
will be started early next spring and
officers of the company expect to. have
it finished by midsummer.
The distance between Chicago and
Kansas City by the Rock Island) is now
518 miles. This will be cut down to 483
miles. By this reduction in mileage
mucn. faster passenger and freight time
will be possible. It is figured that it will
allow passenger trains to be operated
tween the two cities in at least twelve
hours and will enable a corresponding
cut in freight time.
For years the Burlington and Rock Isl
and have been very close competitors
between Chicago and Kansas City. So
far as mileage is concerned the Bur
lington has had a shade the better of it,
its distance being 489 miles against 518
of the Rock Island.
Following shows the present mileage
of the four principal roads between, Chi
cago and Kansas City:
Santa Fe 458
Chicago & Alton ,4S8
Burlington 489
Rock Island 518
During the past five or six years the
roads between the two cities have been
operating their passenger trains under
an agreement which provides that none
of the lines shall cover the distance in
fewer hours than fourteen hours. This
combination was brought about by a
time war in which the short lines dem
onstrated their ability to make the run
in as few as ten hours. The longer
roads, threatened to reduce rates unless
their competitors agreed to lengthen
out their schedules so that the time via
all lines would be practically the same.
It is said that officers of one of two
of the roads are tired of this agreement
and desire to shorten their time between
the two points. With the Rock Island's
mileage reduced to 483 miles, all of the
roads would be practically placed on an
equality so far as distance is concerned.
Railroad men look for some fast run
ning in the territory named next sum
mer.
MEMBERSHIP IS SHORT.
Railroad T. EL C. A. Managers Will
Hold Important Meeting Tonight.
The committee of mnaagement of the
Railroad Y. M. C. A. will meet this even

It is eiiected that some disagreeable
truths about membership will be given
out at the meeting tonight. While ev
ery one supposed that the membership
was large enough to support the work.
it is found that there are only about 300

CHAIRMAN WALKER TALKS.
Says Business of Joaquin Valley Has
Been Surprising.
Aldace F. Walker, chairman of the
board of the Santa Fe, passed through
Topeka yesterday afternoon in private
car No. 219. He was accompanied by his
son. Mr. Walker has been looking over
the western terminal of the road, the
San Joaquin Valley line. He said:
I am very well pieasea with every
thing I saw while west. The affairs of
the San Joaquin Valley road are in first
class shape and everything is running
smoothly. The road has done an excel
lent business beginning with the first
day since its opening. In fact more
business has already been done on that
road than we had expected to do in a
year."
Mr. Walker was looking well and is
now en route to New York. Upon his
return to New York he will attend a
meeting of the board.
NEW ASSOCIATION A GO.
Transcontinental Roads Will Combine
For Mutual Advantage.
Glenwood Springs. Col.. Sent. 5. The
Transcontinental Passenger association is
now an assured tact. The general pas
senger agents, who have been in session
since Inst Thursday morning, concluded
their labors and the results e-o to the
presidents and managers of the respective
lines, wno meet in .New York city Septem
ber IS. There appears to be no doubt
in the minds of the agents that their work
win ne ratined Dy their superior officers.
The scope of the organization covers all
passenger traffic west of the Missouri
river destined to California points onlv.
The business to the northern coast points
will not be covered by the association.
Although it is firmly believed that the
railroad lines to the north will later come
into tha organization, none of these lines
was represented at cma meeting.
OLDEST ENGINEER.
James Ball Has Retired After 48
Years of Service.
Fort Scott, Kas., Sept. 5. The Kan
sas City. Fort Scott & Memphis rail
way has taken formal cognizance of
the railroad career of Jas. Ball, an. en
gineer who retired from its service. He
has been running on a locomotive for
almost a half century not auite forty-
nine years and he tendered his resigna
tion to take effect September 1. Until
recently each engineer on this road had
his own engine, but now they take the
engines as they come. Mr. Ball has
been running on the road thirty consec
utive years and was devoted to engine
No. 88, which he ran for years. The
company arranged to allow him his en
gine for his last trip, and he brought
the "passenger train in from Springfield
with it on time. There was romance in
his last run. If any man is void? of
sentimentality it is "Jim" Ball, but.
while his permanent leave-taking of his
engine at the Memphis depot platform
was very informal, it is impossible but
that the veteran engineer should have
been moved by the solemnity of such
an important incident in his life's his
tory. If he was touched by the occa-

ENGINEER JAMES BALL.
slon, however, by the thought that he
was parting from the path, he had
trodden so regularly and so faithfully
for nearly fifty years, there were no out
ward indications of the fact. He dis
mounted, took a glance at the old steam
horse and walked off home.
Mr. Ball is the oldest locomotive en
gineer in the United States in point of
uninterrupted service. He is 68 years
old, but when the company, a few weeks
ago. required all its engine men to
stand a certain test of vision and hear
ing the oculist reported him to be the
most perfect of all the engineers he has
examined. His retirement is voluntary.
He i3 in perfect health. At the age of
20 Mr. Ball began Bring on he Cleveland
& Pittsburg road, and it was on June 5,
1855, three years later .when he pulled
his nrst engine out or a siding at wena-
ville, Ohio. His run was between
Wells'ville and Cleveland. That engine
weighed 25 tons and burned wood. The
one which he left today weighed
tons. In 185S Mr. Ball went to the New
Orleans & Great Western, and in 1861
he entered the government service. He
pulled the last train of Union soldiers
out from the scene or the second battle
of Bull Run and almost lost his life
there. This was on the Orange & Alex
andria road. In 1862 he went on the
road now known a3 the Erie, and later
he went to the Central Pacific on the
Pacific coast. In 1878 he came to the
Memphis road, and he has been run
ning on it ever since.

HOW TO MAKE JAMS.
At this season of the year the careful
provider begins to consider future needs
and protects himself against the scarcity
of fruits and such perishable food that
can not be obtainedn winter.
Fruits play quite as Important a part
In the winter dietary as they do in
warm weather.
SELECTING THE FRUIT.
This must be done with care, and be
of the best and in the right condition. It
must not be over-ripe or crushed; for
if more than barely ripe it will not keep
so well. And the fruit should be gather
ed in dry weather.
MAKING JAMS.
Use only the best kind of sugar, gran
ulated. The common rule is equal
weights of sugar and fruit, but this is
not always necessary, as the proportion
of sugar must vary somewhat accord
ing to the kind of fruit used, some re
quiring much less than others to make
them palatable. If too much is used it
will cause candying of the fruit If the
air is excluded entirely after the fruit
is thoroughly cooked, it will keep with
out sugar, but will not be relished.
THREE METHODS USED.
There are three methods employed in
making jams. The first is to boil the
crushed fruit for fifteen minutes, and
then add the sugar (heated), three-quarters
of a pound being allowed to each
pound of fruit. " Cook from ten to thirty
minutes after putting in sugar. The sec
ond method is to make a syrup and then
boil the fruit in it, allowing pound for
pound for acid fruits. The third is to
allow equal proportions of fruit and
sugar. Crush the fruit and cook both
together over a slow fire until it jellies.
Each method is good for its kind.
WHAT FRUITS TO USE.
Jams are usually made from fruits
that contain a quantity of juice, such
as strawberries, raspberries, currant3
and blackberries. The fruit butters and
marmalades are made from the harder
fruits. -
TO TEST WHEN DONE.
In order to know when Jams are suffi
ciently cooked, drop a small quantity
on a saucer, and when it looks dry and
glistens and no juice or moisture appears
it is done.
THE COOKING.
The closest attention is necessary in
order that it does not burn, as this
would ruin the flavor. A steady but
moderate fire is required to keep up a
regular boiling. Agate or porcelain lined
kettles should be used and wooden pad
dles for stirring.
SEALING AND STORING.
The jam should be put up in clean
glass or small stone jars, and sealed or
covered same as canned truits and
then stored in a cool, dry, dark place
that can be frequently aired. If you
do not possess a dark closet for pre
serves, save all the paper bags in which
you get your grocery supplies and cover
the jars with these.
CURRANT AND RASPBERRY JAM.
This makes a delightful combination.
Use one-third currants and two-thirds
raspberies. Pick the stems from the
currants, wash thoroughly, but do not
mash. Pick over the raspberries, but
do not wash them. Mash them and
add to currants. Add three-quarters of
a pound of sugar to one pound of fruit.
Let stand a few hours; then drain off
the juice, bring to a boil and add the
fruit. Simmer until it la thick as de
sired. THE MARMALADES AND BUTTERS.
Almost all kinds of fruits are used for
these, either singly or in combination,
and the proportions are about the same
as regards sugar and fruit; but the
fruit is cooked to a firmer consistency.
It must be remembered that in mak
ing jams, jellies, etc., it is the fruit uid
not the sugar , that requires thorough
cooking. In many cases it is best to
boil and skim the fruit before putting
in the sugar.
THE ECONOMY OF HOME-MADE
JAMS.
Much depends on how the supply is
obtained. When the housekeeper has
her own fruit the cost is very little if
one does not count the hours spent over
the fire In midsummer. And there is
a great deal of satisfaction in having
a well-stocked preserve closet. How
ever, It is a doubtful question whether
the housekeeper who must buy all her
materials shows the most wisdom in
mitring ud her own fruit or in buying.
Many city houses are not well provided
with pantries and cupboards wherein
to keep more than the stores that are
necessary for immediate wants. To
these it is a relier to know tnat tney

There are
never any ex
ternal signs of
Cancer until
the blood is
polluted and the system thoroughly con
taminated by this deadly virulent poison.
Then a sore or nicer appears on some
part of the body; it may be email and
harmless looking at first, but as the can
cerous cells form and are deposited by
the blood near the sore, it increases in
size and severity, with sharp shooting
pains. No matter how often the sore is
removed by the surgeon's knife or flesh
destroying plasters, another comes and is
worse. The real disease is in the blood,
and the treatment must beein there. The
poisoned blood must be invigorated and
purified, and when this is done cancerous
cells can no longer form and the sore will
heal naturally and permanently.
