LIMIT IS SIO,OOO Democratic National Committee Will Not Accept Over that Amount FROM ONE PERSON Chairman Will Be Chosen at Chicago Later — Kern Goes Home Tonight Lincoln, Nebraska, July 14. —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The Democratic national committee were entertained today by William J. Bryan at Fairview Farm, at a picnic luncheon, at which were also present, several visiting delegations. The matter of choosing a national chairman to succeed Thomas Taggart of Indiana, was referred to a submlttee who will meet in Indianapolis within ten days or two weeks to select the officers of the committee. In the meantime Chairman Taggart will be in charge. At the luncheon today the committee adapted a resolution concerning the publicity of campaign funds, providing that no contribution be accepted from any one person or corporation for over >IO,OOO, and that all subscriptions for >IO.OO or over received on or before October 15, will b e published at that time. After October 15 all subscriptions received will be male public immediately as er their -e---ceipt by the national committee. At Mr. Bryan's request he will be notified of his nomination on August 12, the same to take place at this beaufiftfl country home, known as FairView. near Lincoln. The notification of the vice president will take place in Indianapolis later in the campaign, and a great demonstration is to be made for the event. John W. Kern, candidate for vicepresident, win leave here this evening, arriving at Indianapolis tomorrow evening.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July 14. — Samuel Gompers, president of Bhe American Federation of Labor and inferentially the head of three million voters or organized labor affiliated with the federation, will support William J. Bryan in the coming presidential campaign. In political circles here this announcement overshadow r ed all others, even the arrival of John W. Kern, the vice presidntial nominee. Reports gained currency that the labor leader would speak from the platform during the campaign, but he made no such announcement. At present it is believed there will be no need for Mr. Gomper's service in an oratorical sense. The Republican convention, he asserts, ignored the demands of labor, the Democrats acknowledged them j.n their platform. His course is clear; he will do'what is demanded of him in the interests of labor best expressed in the platform adopted at Denver. As the situation is at present, Mr. Gomper's efforts can be better expended elsewhere than on the speak er's stand. The and vice spresidntTal nominees, arm in arm. led the way to the Bryan home, followed by Abram Simmons, delegate at large to the convention, John E. Osborne, member of the state central committee of Indiana and U. S. Jackson,chairman of that committee. Mr. Jackson after talking with Mr. Bryan, declared that Indiana would go for Bryan by 10,000 votes. He based this prediction on a canvass which he said he had been making since the middle of January. He anticipated the enrollment of many Roosevelt Republicans on the Bryan list. Mr. Bryan told his visitors that It had been reported he would make a front porch campaign; he was by no means certain of this, but admitted that he had promised to make a speech in Chicago on Labor day. Aside from this date the candidate for the presidency had made no plans. Sears. Roebuck & Co. of Chicago appear to be in hard lines of late. The government pure food and drug laws compelled this firm to quit the grocery and drug business and now the firm is in a pickle on account of having sold train loads of cream separators to the farmers of the country which are infringements on the patents of the Vermont Machinery company, of Bellows Falls, Yt. The “New Style” and “Latest Model” separators have been sold extensively In this territory by the Chicago mail order house and the Vermont owners of the patents on the machines have obtained judgment against Sears. Roebuck & Co., In two courts for infringement.

Deputy State Factory Inspector Wib I liamson, of Anderson, i s concluding his work in Decatur, having b-sen here several days. He will go to Berne tomorrow to conclude his duties in Adams county. While here n e has visited each factory, bakery, printing office, mill, etc., has inspected every school and church and lodge room, suggesting, coaxing and demanding improvements that will add to the safety thereof. He has ordered sev-' eral fir e escapes, which will be put on as soon as possible and at a few of the factories improved devices have been suggested and may be added. Mr. Williamson say s he can see many splendid improvements in Decatur since his visit here last year and says the people have all treated him kindly. His work is by no means the most pleasant, especially when his mission js misunderstood. He is a state officer and as such must suggest and order such improvements as scorn to him necessary to protect life in cases of accident. The first official move made toward the selection of a successor to Dr. Edwin Holt Hughes, who resigned the presidency of De Pauw university at Greencastle, Ind., when elected to the episcopacy in the Methodist Episcopal church, was that announced yesterday by Hugh Dougherty, president of the Marion Trust Company, who as chairman of the general committee having the matter in charge, called a meeting of the members for Tuesday. July 28. in Indianapolis. At the meeting cf the board of trustees held in Greencas le during the commencement week in June Mr. Dougherty,who is president of a canvassing committee and given instructions to look over the entire country in search for a suitable new De Pauw president. He has been in correspondence with prominent Methodists in all parts of the United States, recommending different men as suitable for the presidency of the Greencastle institirfion.

J. Fred France and Milo Feightner arrived home from Denver, Colo., Sunday where they had attended the democratic convention. As all well know from the accounts printed in *he papers it w’as the greatest convention the worjd ever witnessed in regards to attendance and the good accomplished. If democrats were to start in now shaking hands with themselves and keep it up until after the election of Bryan and Kern this fall they would not be able to congratulate themselves enough for the good work done by the convention. Mr. France is a little the worse for the great demonstration which took place in the convention when Senator Gore, the blind orator from Oklahoma, sent the convention into the greatest demonstration for Bryan ever heard tell of qs some enthusiast stepped on his foot and injured the knuckle joint of his great toe. But Fred grins and bears it saying that he has no kick coming. Democrats .he says, are not kicking this year.—Huntington NewsDemocrat. During the severe electrical storm of Monday afternoon the large barn on the Ernst place, one-half mile west of Peterson, owned by Chris Beiberick, was struck by lightning, which caused a costly conflagration, the barn and its contents being completely destroyed by the devouring flames. It was a little before five o’clock in the evening that the barn was struck and before the deadly sweep of the flames could be checked an adjoining shed, together with its contents, a corn planter breaking plow and riding plow, had been rendered to ashes. The barn had been filled with hay and while a large amount of same was stored away in the structure, the loss sustained is but a meagre amount, insurance being carried on same. The barn was located on the farm which was recently purchased by Mr. Beiberich and fortunately there were no horses in same. The number one Washington township school house was struck by lightning Tuesday noon and as a result ‘he roof on each side of the eve is completely demolished, and the floor literally covered with plastering, which fell as the terrific stroke tore the roof and ceiling from its position. The damage done is quite extensive, with insurance covering same. —a -" Mother Gray’* Sweet Powder* for for Children.

A St. Louis chemist, after many years of careful experimenting and investigation, has discoverede a simple remedy that has cured hundreds of cases of eczema that had been pronounced incurable. This chemist believed that eczema and all itching skin diseases were of local origin and were caused by germs which attacked and fed on the skin. He began to search for a remedy that would destroy these germs, and found that by combining the active principles of certain well known vegeteable drugs, and applying them locally, the first application stopped th e itching and burning, and if used persistently would drive all germs and their poisons t othe surface of the skin and destroy them, leaving a nice, clear, healthy skin. He gave this remarkable remedy the suggestive name of Zemo, and since its introduction to the public Zemo has proven a very popular remedy and is today recognized the most successful and meritorius remedy ever produced for the relief and cure of eczema and all diseases of the skin and soaip. Mr. Falk, the druggist, recommends and endorses Zemo and says he believes Zemo to be an honest medicine and will do all that is claimed far It, H. B.

Now that the approach of dog days is near at hand and the epidemic cf rabies is likely to follow, it will be timely for people to take heed to the warnings given by the local docto’s of threatened hydrophobia. A simple home treatment for rabies is the floilowing interesting article given by a lady in which she says: “I wish to give my experence, hoping it may benefit some one. In 1904 I was bitten in the face by my pet dog. I had noticed for several days that he acted unusual, but that he was afflicted with rabies did not enter my mind. One morning I placed some rugs on the back porch. The dog commenced to tear them. I gave him a slap. He sprang and bit me on the cheek, making two deep lacerations. I immediately applied salt and washed the wound thoroughly with she blood and salt. I pressed and pressed, and kept on pressing for five minutes to cleanse the wound, then I washed the wound thoroughly with whisky. I then applied carbclated vaseline. I did this several times during the day and the day following, and every day for a week I used the carbolated vaseline. The first two days’ treatment was heroic, the lacerations were so deep. The dog died within four days. The dog had what is called the furious type of rabies. The dog also bit the cat. The cat died with rabies, but lam here to tell the story. I hope this may spread far and wide and reach those who cannot get medical aid immediately. I think immediate action is what saved my life.” o Mrs. Pifer and two daughter, Emma and Isabel, of Toledo, Ohio, have arrived in the city for a two weeks’visit with the former’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. W, J.
