BRYAN NOFARMER
Tells Ohio Crowd He is aa Ag
riculturist. Republicans II Ml a EeTiral
Meeting at Portsmouth.
Portsmouth. O., Oct. 13. Mr. Bryan
concluded the first day of his campaign
ir. Ohi- in this city last night. He was
met at the station by a torch light pro
cession, consisting- of men both on ft
ani horseback, and escorted to a square
23 the center of the city, whet1? he spoke
f.'oni a platform in the open air. The
meet:.-? was by far the largest of the
day ani it was thoroughly enthusiastic.
The Republicans also had a torch light
J r-" i in the city with speeches in
apubho- hail by Senator Spooner and
W. D. Byr.um. As a cor.se-iuenoe the
city was fu-.l of red fire and political ra
tnusiasm. The lines of march of-the two
parties were sc. arranged as not to con
rict and there was c physical clash.
A majority o-f the meetings during the
day were not so laj-eiy attendei r.or
dt-monstrativ as those of the Illinois
und Indiana tour of last week. Rain
threatened during the greater part of
the day. and this circumstance doubtless
ita i a dampening- influence on the ardor
cf the crowds, as weii as upon their at
tendance. When Mr. Bryan was introduced at
Fprin.;5id. where he had one of the best
row-is of the day. some enthusiastic
admirer i the crowd shouted: Hurrah
for the farmer p-resient."
The exclamation attracted Mr. Bryan's
attention, and he said:
"I do not want to be elected under
false prefr-ses. I am not a farmer: I
am an agriculturist. You know the dif
ference between them. A farmer is a
man who makes his money on the farm
and sper. is it in totm. while an agri
culturist is a man who makes his money
in town and spends it on the farm."
This dhnit!'-a pleased the audience,
end all listened attentiveiv to the speech
thro-asho.jt. At this pofnt Mr. Bryan
devoted his principal attention to the
trusts, ad his arguments were along
the usual lines.
At Layton the meeting was held at the
fair grounds, and Mr. Bryan spoke from
an open stard erected on the race course.
Probably the most interesting feature
of this Eti-? was the fact that out
f.i a hundred vice presidents of the
raeerin twenty-Jour were German, and
tuner as Republicans or Ooli Demo-rata
opposed Mr. Bryan's election four years
nz'y. One of them was aa ex-mayor of
the city.
In intredtrcin? his speech at Dayton
Mr. Bryan charged the Republican party
Tcith using spurious argument to catch
particular classes cf voters. As to the
claim that the interests of the soLiiers
safest in the care- of the Republican
tarry. Mr. Bryan said:
"The soldier is in mora danger if his i
Interests are left to men who stand at 1
n head cf great monopolies than he is I
1. he leaves his interests to those who
bI'T g to the common people, I will
go further than that: I will sav that the
welfare-,-; the union soldier and his pen
sion are ?afr in the hands of a con
federate soldier than in the hands cf a
rreat monopoly, for the conf ed-rate sol
dier krows something about the sacri
fices cf war. while the heads of svn-ii-"it
only know war as an opportunity
for the accumulation of Tat fortunes
out cf the pe,Pie-3 sufferi'ngs. But, my
friends. the Republicacs insult the sol
dier when they assume that the sol
dier is not a citizen as well as a pen
sioner. He insults the soldier when he
assumes that a soldier has no interest
except in tae amount of his monthly or
Quarterly pension.
"The soldier is a citizen. He was a
citizen dance the war. when he was
willing to risk his life a ni3 nation s
defense. He is a citizen cow and if he
i willing to fight to have one renub'ic
instead of two he will be willinsr to vote
row to keep that one republic from be
coming an empire. If he was willing to
fight then in order to wipe out of the
Teclaration of Independence an excep
tional clause that excluded the black
man, he will be willing to vote now to
fceep anotherr excepti'Xial clause from
being put into the declaration excluding
the brown man. The soldier who did

be sold for a thousand dollars will not
be in favor of buying Filipinos in, a job
lot at two dollars and a half a piece."
Mr. Bryan defined his feelings about
his own election, saying:
"I am more interested in the result of
this election as a citizen than I am as a
candidate. I am more interested as a
father than I am as a Democrat. I can
live under a Republican administratioi.
better than most Republicans who vote
for the administration. If I can make
half as much as the Republicans say I
can I can make more criticising the ad
ministration than you Republicans can
make under it. If my farm does as well
as the Republicans say, I could live or.
my farm and I wiil not need office.
"The president says in his ietter of ac
ceptance that you must be careful not to
hurt the good trusts and spends more
time warning you not to hurt the good
ones than he does teiiingyou how to hurt
the bad ones. The Republican candi
date for vice president spends more time
denouncing those who denounced the
trusts than he spends denouncing the
trusts. But why sneak of what the
president says? Why speak of what
the candidate for the vice presidency
says, when I can quote you authority
from headquarters? Mr. Hanna says
there are no trusts. Do you think that
the P.epu'oiican party is going to destroy
the trusts?
"When election day approaches the
trust magnate says: 'Weil, we will wait
and see how you vote before we will teli
you whether we will give you your daily
bread or not.'
"Do you believe that it is safe to have
that condition in this country? 13 it safe
to make it possible for these great mo
nopolies to so control the laboring men
that they can threaten them with idle
ness and starvation if they do not vote
the Republican ticket. Suppose a man
has spent a life time learning some par
ticular industry and there is but one
man in, the cation to whom he can apply
for employment, if the industry is built
up and a monopoly established. Then if
he be turned off he loses the benefits of
his skill. He is an outcast and must
learn over. The duress that that mo
nopoly can place on that man is a duress
that ought cot to be supported in this
country."
During the afternoon Mr. Bryan made
ten-minute speeches at Xenia. Wash
ington Court House, Greenfield and
Waverly.
While Mr. Bryan was speaking at
Greenrieid he was interrupted by an
elder: y man in the crowd who asked a
question about race discrimination in
North Carolina and then partially dis
appeared behind other peopie standing
near him. The inquiry seemed to stir
Mr. Bryan considerably, and he replied
with some warmth, saying:
"Don't hide. I wan t you to stand
where I can see yon when I answer your
question. Now, let me tell you that an
educational qualification has been im
posed upon Porto Rico by the Republi
can administration which disqualifies S3
per cent, of the colored men of voting
age in that territory."
The old gentleman retorted that he
did not believe the statement, where
upon Mr. Bryan continued:
'Weil. I can show you a bulletin Is
sue! by your own administration as re
cently as the 2Sth of last August, in
which it is stated that S3 per cent- of
the colored population can not read and
write. And this educational requirement
deprives that percentage of the people
there of the right of franchise. Do you
know what percentage i3 affected by the
North Carolina law? I can tell you that
it is a good deal smaller percent, than
that affected by the Porto Rico restrict
ion. Don't you think you had better re
prove your own administration for its
acts in Porto Rico before you complain
of North Carolina?'
Mr. Bryan began his speech at Ports
month at 8 o'clock, and he had no
sooner commenced than a bugie call was
sounded upon a housetop across the
street. There were other noisy demon
strations and it looked for a time as if
there were to be unfriendly interrup
tions. Mr. Bryan caught the situation
promptly, and said:
"Perhaps this is simply a touch of
militarism."
This turned the laugh of the crowd
upon the bugler, and he was heard no
more for the time, though he sounded
his h--m at intervals during the entire
evenin-e.
Mr. Bryan spoke for about an hour at
Portsmouth, and at the close of the
meeung left for Chiliicothe.

Stories of, the Eailroad From
Far and Near.
Passeng-er and ticket men from all
over the United States will gather in
Buffalo, N. Y., next Tuesday, October
IS, for the purpose of attending the
forty-fifth annual convention of the
American Association of General Pass
enger and Ticket Agents. Every indi
cation points to a record-breaking at
tendance and to the accomplishment of
work which will be of benefit to the asso
ciation. Upon the docket are several
subjects of importance for discussion.
The proposition of C. E. E. Usher, of the
Canadian Pacific, that "no convention
rates be made less than fare and one
third between January 1 and August 31
in each year' is one of them. In the
matter of ' antl-scalping legislation,
which was left last year in the hands of
a standing committee, composed of the
chairmen of the several territorial pass
enger associations, and on the topic in
general interesting developments axe an
ticipated. W. J. Black, general passenger agent
of the Santa Fe. said these might be
called the leading topics before the con
vention. As to the proposed return to
the old standard of convention rates,
which would be a raise in comparison
with the prevalent one-way tariffs, Mr.
Black said:
"It is an important question. Of late
convention tariffs have been handled in
a very slipshod manner by the railroads.
There should be more stability put into
convention rates. But you see the boom
ers go to the passenger officials, and say
they wiil attract from MO to 5.000 dele
gates and visitors, and if they muster
200 it is doing weiL
"However, any action taken by the
general passenger agents at Buffalo
would not be final or binding. It would
be merelv advisory. They can only re
fer their conclusions on the subject back
to the several territorial associations.
Of course their conclusion would have
the weight of a recommendation with
the several associations."
Mr. Black left today for Buffalo to at
tend the convention.

Millionaire's Son Rousting It On a
Railroad Survey.
Bertrand Bell, a graduate of Harvard
university, who speaks haif a dozen lan
guages and who can. write his check for
a million dollars, is one of the toilers
with the surveying corps on the Balti
more & Ohio Southwestern railroad.near
Lebanon, 111. He works as hard as any
member of the corps and lives in the
camp with his fellow-workmen. He re
ceives $1.50 a day for his work.
Bell's father, who is dead, was a direc
tor of a number of large railroad cor
porations, including the Baltimore .4
Ohio Southwestern. He left an estate
which has been variously estimated at
from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000. all of which
was inherited by young Bell.
The young man is an interesting char
acter. He does not talk of his wealth,
although it is known to his comrades
that he was a millionaire's son and that
he spends each week a sum far in ex
cess of the wages he earns. Bell gradu
ated from Harvard several years ago.
He was a member of the famous Peary
relief expedition, and is greatly inter
ested in the collection of archaeological
and geological specimens. He is a mem
ber of several societies for scientific re
search. Shortly after the death of his father
young Bell came w-est to learn survey
ing. He did not wish to stand around
and watch how things were done, so he
willingly doffed his fine clothes and as
sumed the garb of a workingman, de
termined to learn the business from act
ual contact with it. He handles a pick
or a shovel when necessary with equal
facility of any man in the camp. One
cf his striking peculiarities is that bfe
does not wear a hat except in the most
extreme weather.
Bell seldom misses a day'3 work. He is
especially prompt on payday and pock
ets his $18 for the month's work with as
much pride as a small boy, who has just
earned his first quarter.
Bell recently went to St. Louis without
first doffing his working ciothes. When
he applied at one of the leading hotels
for a room the clerk was considerably
surprised, but at the sight of the large
roll of bills, which Beli produced, he
Quiciily recovered his composure.
FOR SANTA FE EHPLOTES-
Free Scientific Lectures Newest Pro
ject In Educational Line.
Scientific lectures, profusely illustrat
ed and free of cost to employes and the
public, is the newest project of the
Santa Fe management to provide educa
tion and entertainment for its employes.
The plan is an outgrowth of the reading
rooms established by the road some time
a-i-o at important points along the line.
The lectures are in charge of Superin
tendent Busser cf the Santa Fe reading
rooms, and he has just reported to Vice
President Paul Morton on a series of
five lectures recently given under the
auspices of the company. The plan was
to give the lectures ocly in remote
Places, where the employes and their
families would not be in a position to
avail themselves of lectures of that char
acter. During the last month Mr. Bus
ser arranged for five lectures at remote
places on the line by B. R. Baumgardt,
secretary cf the Astronomical Associa
tion of Southern California. The places
chosen were Gallup and Raton in New
Mexico, Dodge City, Kas., Woodward,
Okla., and PurceU, in the Indian Terri
tory. The canals on Mars, the craters of the
moon, the satellites of Jupiter, the rings
of Saturn and many other interesting
phenomena of the boundless expanse
were shown to men who spend their
days in making embankments for new
lines, running fast engines and breaking
on the top of freight cars. In the smaller
places the musical portion of the enter
tainment was provided by the em
ployes. Besides the music, the pictures
and the lectures there was always a
talk by Mr. Busser on "Undeveloped" Re
sources." In the talk he- tried to incite
the employes to better themselves and
their condition by striving to make tha
most of their opportunities. The lec
tures concluded with a social reunion of
the employes and generally a dance
Commenting upon the results ob
tained. Mr. Busser advises that the lec
tures be thrown open to the public upon
the theory cf benefiting the patrons of
the line, thus developing contentment
with locality and will to build and grow

The greatest Improvement, and one
which revolutionizes the water supply
at Woodward, was the building of the
two mile pipe line, which runs from two
miles north of Woodward-to the pump

under the North Canadian river. One
mile of this line was built under condi

Mrs. C. D. Powell. President Epworth League, also President Loyal Temper

years afflicted with that peculiar form cf chronic catarrh pervading the whole
system, involving the stomach, liver, and kidneys. It is to this form of catarrh
that Dr. Hartman has for a long time been calling the attention of the medical
profession. It is known as systemic catarrh. Peruna seems to be the only
specific for this phase of catarrh yet devised by the medical profession.
In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, Mrs. Powell says:
I have found Peruna to five satisfaction in cases of Indigestion, com

SACK OF LAWRENCE.
Massacre Discussed In a
Blooded Manner.
Cold
Claim That They Hare Been
Woefully Maligned.
Oak Grove, Mo., Oct. 13. A combina
tion of three circumstances made this
the biggest day in this town's history.
They were the street fair, the reunion
of Quantrell's men. and the presence
here of Frank James. And the greatest
of these, like charity, was the last.
The reunion of Quantrell's men brought
here forty-three of the grizzled old
chaps who went to Lawrence after Jim
Lane, and, failing to find him, burned
the town. They, with Tip Hay3' camp
of confederates, whose guests they were,
added much to the irr.portar.ct of the oc
casion. They wore red badges: the con
federates wore white ones, and many
of each still wore clothes of their beloved
grey. Nearly ail showed plainly the
signs of age. their beards, w hich almost
all wore, were streaked with gray, and
their forms were somewhat bent -with
the weight of years. But still they were
a hearty and hale set of old fighters, and
they were exceedingly glad to be to
gether again so near to where they made
the start for the sack '-f Lawrence.
And there was Frank James not the
Frank James that most folks know, but
the man among his friends, the jolly,
genial comrade, who greeted every one
with the greatest cordiality and never
failed to remember something of him.
his family or his history. It was Frank
James as he would have been, had he
wrought no such history as he made:
Frank James as he would have been If
he had been a regular soldier, not a
guerilla, a peaceful citizen, not an, out
law. It was as if he had jumped in
one bound from the time cf the war to
the present, leaving behind ail the mem
ories of the James boys' days.
He was a new figure and as such he
was greeted.
And that's why Frank James was the
center of the crowd, the cynosure, the
euest of honor. James came here from
St. Louis as the guest of Quantreii'3 men
and they were mighty proud of it. And
they immediately put him up on a pe
destal and made him an object of wor
ship not because he was a bandit and a
train robber in later days, but because
he was a guerrilla like themselves be
fore then; because he would not submit
to what he deemed unwarranted author
ity; because he defied the laws they has
tened to observe, and lived for years af
ter peace w a3 declared in open outlaw
ry tinder the government they r.ad
fought yet had sworn to support. And
so they made of Frank James a hero
for what he represented to them- not for
the deeds which male his name a terror
to railroads all over the land.
" This part of Jackson county Is filled
with memories of Quantreil and his
raiders. Many of that band came from
hereabouts and most of the survivors
live around here now. They have never
been "reconstructed" in their heart of
hearts and they never will be. Tby are
not ashamed that they fought under the
black flag of that proscribed band; thev
are proud of it, and instead of speaking
of it in whispers, they hold up thir
heads with much feeling and wear
badges to advertise their membership.
They are hardy, honest and d-ceintrthey
love the memory of their leader and re
vere him; they have thi strongest of ti
to bind tfc-m each to each, they shed
blood in a cause that is lost and they
have been, according to themselves. woe
fully maligned. This latter fact makes
them reticent, even today, but once in a
long time, one of them will break forth
and give utterance to the faith that is
in hirn and then one learns, in no un
mistakable terms, what a Quantreil man
thinks cf his leader, bis mission and
himself. One of tne old chaps. Hi George
did "cut Ux-se" today, and this is what
he said:
"They say of us that we pit f.re and
blew smoke from our noetnls. We did.
Ve were terrors. But we had to be; we
were fighting Jayhawkers. Ever read
about Jencison'3 Jayhawkers? Those
were our enemies.
"We raided Lawrence; we did Just
what we went there to do, except kill
women and children we never did that.
I don't care what they say we never
did. Quantreil always told us that we
should not fcarm the women, children or
non-combatants. With a soldier, fee
said 'twas ci.Terent.
"We went to Lawrence partly to get
Jim Lane, but we also went for revenge.
The Jayhawkers from there had been
raiding down our way; they killed my
father and burned my mother out of
house and home, and everyone else al
most can tell of near kinfolks who were

even with them. And we did."
That's the way the old chaps talk.
They are neither proud nor ashamed of
their course. They say it was a neces
sity of the times. Quantreil organized
his men for the Lawrence raid only a
mile and a half south of here. They
went to Columbus. Kas.. for rendezvous,
and after their work at Lawrence they
struck out south. Then came the Bax
tex Springs row, and they moved on Into
Texas, and the band went to pieces.
Some joined the regular confederate
army; some came back: some went to
Mexico with Joe Shelby.

Fort Scott. Oct. 13. On November 1
Fort Scott can again boast of a street
railway system, the city council, at a
special meeting, having given Grant
Homaday a five years' contract for fur
nishing the street light from the same
plant, thus enabling it3 operation with
out loss to the company.
The new company which has bought
the plant has not yet been organized,
but associated with Mr. Hornaday in tho
venture are St. Louis and Davenp-t
people. The plant was held at $ T,000
when Mr. Horp.aday finally obtained an
option on it. The only object was to ob
tain a lighting contract from the city
at a rate reasonabie enoueb to Jusri.'y
a purchase by the railway line. The
company will be formed and corporation
papers obtained at once. The plant w ill
be equipped with new modern machine
ry, both for street car and light service,
and the power house, cars and tracks
wiil be thoroughly overhauled. It will
cost $.:. "00 more to equip for street
lighting and repair of the railway lin-.s.

ACCOMMODATING JUDGE.
Judge- KcBride Adjourned Court to
Unite Loving Hearts.
W. T. McBride. judge of the district
court, performed his first marriage cer
emony this morning and was soon call
ed upon to repeat the performance, says
the Wellington Journal.
It all came about through the absence
of Probate Judare Staffeltaoh. who is at
tending a political meeting at Argonia.
W. H. Bennett and Miss Ona Johnson,
both of South Haven, applied for a mar
riage license, and. havmsr secured this
necessary document, inquired for the
probate judge to perform the ceremony.
They were told that the judge was out
of town, but some one sugjjsted that
Judge McBride could do it. This was a
happy thought. The court had just de
clared a recess and the jurors were
standing around in the hall stretching
their less and smoking. Judge McBride
was made acquatnt-d with the emergen
cy and he consented.
