in ON III The Democratic Presidential Candidate Begins a Series of Speeches in Nebraska. TRYING TO RECOVER HIS OLD DISTRICT. - * i He Chargee the Government with Deceit in All Its Policies and with the Intention of Fastening a National Debt Upon the Necks of the * People. Auburn, Neb., Aug. 23.—W. J. Bryan made the first speech here of u series tjyheduled for the day iu the First congressional district of Nebraska. The meeting was held in the courthouse grounds, and in spite of a light rain which was falling, a good erowd was present. The First congressional district was represented by Mr. Bryan in congress and has, since his retirement, been represented by a republican member. A Pica for Berger’s Election. Mr. Bryan made a plea for the election of Hon. G, W. Berger, the democratic candidate for congress. Fol- ' lowing this, he made an appeal for the support of the whole democratic ticket, comparing the government to a corporation. He said all citizens were stockholders, as such they owed it to themselves to look well after the conduct of the directors of the corporation. Charges of Republican Deceit. . He charged the republican administration, the government directors, with deceit in all its policies. This deception had, he said, been practiced ‘ in regard to the financial system, the trusts, and the foreign policy of the country. He charged the republican party with the intention of fastening a national debt upon the people. Enlargement of the Army. He devoted himself especially to the enlargement of the army, saying that if “We could take the Philippine islands, we could subject any weak people.” .The republican party was building its policy upon the plea that “Might makes right.” They were asserting that the financial question was this year the paramount issue only because the republican party regarded the dollar of more consequence than the man.

Liberty u God-Given Hlght. He dwelt upon liberty as a Godgiven right; saying the Filipinos were as much entitled to it as we are. In promising them a good government , we are only promising what kings promised under similar circumstances. We have, he .asserted, no title to the Philippine islands according to the Declaration of Independence. Spain Had Ko Title. In the first place Spain had no title, and, in the second place, we can not buy people nor was it any more profitable than wise to wage foreign conquest. Already more had been spent in the way in treasure in the Philippines, to say nothing of blood, than the profits of trade with those islands for many years would amount to. * The Spirit of Militarism. “The same spirit that carries you to the Philippine islands will lead you into some other places, and make you hold their people, and make them subjects against their. will. The same spirit of militarism and imperialism that carried you to the Philippine islands will carry you wherever you can find a people weak enough to be whipped by the United States. The doctrine of imperialism is the , doctrine which takes people under the pretense that you are taking them for 6 their good, and you reach your hands in their pockets and rob them, while you are taking them. i

AS to F1«k Fnrllng. “Republicans, your papers tell you that the Filipinos are savages. You dare not say it, because you do not arm savages and turn them out to tight people. They say we can not haul down the flag in the Philippines, onee it is raised there. Even this administration does not find any trouble or difficulty in hauling down the flag in Alaska. What the Fl«g Represents. “I suppose they contend that in a cold climate you can haul it down, but that you can not in a hot climate. g The American flag represents the pur- . pose of the American people. Nobody can haul our flag down against our' will,but the American people have the right to put it up where they want it, and to take it down where they desire. The flag is the servant of the nation, the people are not the servants of the flag. How About Pelcln? V “If that is true, how are you going to bring the American troops back from Pekin? They planted the American flag there. I want the American flag to come down from the Philippine islands in order that the flag of a republic might rise in its place. I would rather that we have two flags representing two republics, than one represnting an empire.” --- -- Acquitted, but Thought to be Guilty. Havana, Aug. 32.—All the persona accused of complicity in the Havana customhouse frauds were acquitted yesterday. The president of the court—consisting of three judges— has inserted in the decision a clause to the effect that he thinks four of the accused are guilty, and.these may be taken before the supreme court. The decision holds with regard to inaccurate appraisements that it is impossible to prove that goods have been wrongly appraised where the goods can not be brought into court

EVAPORATING CORN. Al Effective Arrangement W'htek Aar Man or Bor Handy with Tools Can Mnke. Aa the time to put up gTeen corn for winter is at hand, I will JJrive my way. If the corn is gathered at just the right stage, that is when it is perfectly tender, it is nicer than any brand of canned corn I ever bought. Gather the corn early in the morning. so that a lot of it can be got ready by noon. Put a wash boiler or ' - _ . rr-i

COMMON SENSE EVAPORATOR. ft large-sized lard can half full of water on the stove. Husk the corn and pick very clean of silks. When the water boils put in th« corn, letting it remain for 15 or 20 minutes; or just as soon as the milk is set take out quickly. Put in more corn, adding more water from time to time as is necessary. The water should cover the corn; only be sure the water is boiling when corn is put in. When cool enough remove corn from the cob by first cutting the thinnest possible slice off the ends of the grain with a sharp knife; then scrape with a dull knife until all the pulp and chit are scraped out. This leaves all the husk of the grain on the cob. The corn is now ready for the evaporator and will dry ^in 24 hours if proper heat is kept up. If covered tightly until cool and then placed in paper meal bags that have been subjected to heat in the evaporator, and put in a tight bljx or drawer, or some other dark, dry place it will keep until corn comes again. No worms will get into it. T will give plans for an evaporator which any man or boy handy with tools can make. If the evaporator cannot be made the corn can be dried In the sun, but it must be subjected to heat before putting away. Get a goods box two feet square and three feet high. Take out one end and one side. Bore six two-inch holes in top and tack on screen wire. Nail .cleats 2ya inches apart on sides to hold up trays, which should be. made iya inches shorter than box, ao that every other tray can be pushed back, and the others pulled forward, so as to give a chance for distribution of heat. Then a door is jnade of the boards that come out of the side of the box so as to close all up tight. Now set four posts 7ys feet above ground, just far enough apart to admit box; next build a furnace as per plan. Then board up inside posts and°set box on top. A layer of rock or 'brick must be laid between the furnace and the boards to prevent them taking fire. Use an old stove door to close up front of furnace, propping it up about an inch at the bottom for draft. This evaporator can be used for drying all kinds of fruit.—Rural World.

THE MARKET GARDEN, Remove the seed-bearing tops from asparagus to prevent added plants from seed. For new beds, fall planting answers, on sandy or well-drained soil. To make a wet garden dry, and get rid of a surplus of coal ashes: Dig a trench across th;e upper end and down one side two feet deep, fill to within ten inches of the top with coal ashes, level down the ground. To get choice egg plant seed, select a few of the finest plants in the patch, pick off all but two or three of the best fruits and let these grow until they are dead ripe. Keep all new bloom on these plants from setting fruit. All garden varieties of beans in a ripe state are much superior to white field beans for the table. Gather and dry immediately they are* ripe. Sesalting down the surplus for winter use. Select , for seed the largest pods that are-the lowest on the stem, or if some chills have been left for seed take only the best.—Farm Journal. ' Plant More Penck Tree*. There should be more peach orchards, and ^he sections in which peaches have not given good results may now prove suitable, as the abandonment of the peach for several years also obliterates the diseases. In some localities, where the peach formerly failed, good results are now reported. Peach trees may be planted closer together than apple or pear trees, and they come into bearing when three years old, some varieties earlier. It is claimed that if a peach orchard gives but one good crop in four years it will pay for the Experiment. cure late green bean9

RULINGS OF THE COURT.

A. 326, without restoring the consideration received for tho property, when it is not in his possession or control upon arriving at full age, but has been dissipated by him while still a minor.

PITHY AND POINTED.# A young man may die but an old man must. Continued cheerfulness is a manifest sign of wisdom." j Maids of honor are those vrho do not indulge in flirtations. From the mother’s point of ■view an ugly baby is an impossibility. The woman question for .centuries has been: “What did she have on?*’ It is no credit to a man to keep his word because no one will take it. When ghosts walk they probably enter houses with the aid of skeleton keys. It may not hurt a joke to crack itbut some of the crackers ought to be hurt. “Love is. but a transport,” says a poet. Yes, and so is a canal boat, for that matter. A lady who has been a widow three times says a good place to get a husband is by the ear. Only after a public favorite becomes a “has-been” does he begin to realize the emptiness of applause. Wise is tire man who does of his own free will that which he would otherwise shortly be compelled to do. It is related of Midas thsit whatever he touched turned to gold;; nowadays If you but touch some men with gold they will turn to anything.—Chicago Daily News. THE LIGHTNING AT WORK.

IT GOT HIM A LICKING. Am Okioaa’e Hard Lack When Start* las Oat aa a newspaper Reporter. Col. N. S. Jones. rho presides over the matrimonial bureau of the probate court, had his newspaper aspirations chilled in a moment when he was starting out in life. He was living in the little town of Genoa, O., and the proprietor ef the country weekly asked him if he would not write a “squib’’ occasionally, says the Toledo Bee. The colonel promised, as he saw an opening in the newspaper held, and had long yearned .for a chance to secure a place in tne profession which seemed to him to offer many inducements. Consequently be wrote up several items. Hard luck came at the start. Among the first of his items was the followinf,': } “Our esteemed friend and fellow townsman, Seth Bennett, is the greatest man in the world. He licked his wife the other night and came out without a scratch.” Hardly had the paper appeared on the street- before Seth was on the lookout for the colonel, and found him. Now all that the colonel remembers of the fray was that he gave Seth a harder fight than Seth’s wife had done. But he severed his connection with the paper immediately. He carried •ears for weeks to remind him of his first and only experience as a molder of the public Blind. Dainty Dessert* Can be made with Burnham’s Hasty Jellycon.

THE DEWEY HOMESTEAD.

The above picture shows the house where George Dewey was born December 26th, 1837. It was occupied by the Dewey family until after the death of the Admiral’s father. It then came into the possession of Captain Edward Dewey, who sold it to its present owner and occupant, T. R. Gordon, Esq., in the summer of 1889. M r. Gordon moved it to its present site in the following February 1890, and has occupied it until the present time. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon are unfailing in their courtesy to the thousands who visit this shrine, the birthplace of Admiral Dewey. A recent letter from T. R. Gordon to the Peruna Drug MTg Co., Columbia, O., reads as follows: “ It is with great satisfaction that I find myself able, after an extended trial to write you in this emphatic manner of the good your Peruna has done my wife. “She has been troubled with catarrh from childhood, and whenever she has a cold, or any unusual condition of the weather it was worse than usual, and seemed more than she could bear. The dropping in her throat at night prevented refreshing sleep, in fact, we had come to look upon it as incurable, and from the many remedies used in vain, we had reason to. •‘We are thankful and happy to say that your “Peruna** has been of great' benefit to her, and 1 confidently look for a complete and entire cure. High praise is not too much to bestow upon your remedy.” T. R. Gordon. Address The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, 0., for free book on

He things he lives, but he's a dead one. No person is really alive whose liver is dead. During the winter most people spend nearly all their time In warm, stuffy houses or offices or • workshops.

As a rule it is not sound ^weight, but means a lot of flabby fat ^ and useless, rotting matter staying in the body when it ought to have been driven out.
