In some respects the reception to Gen-j ral Grant-upon his return from his tour round, -the world eclipses it, be cause it was a series of ovations throughout the country, with inter est wrought to white heat by one of the most fervid political campaigns in the nation's history. . But Mr. Bryan's was a hearty, sympathetic welcomer reaching, at times the pitch of wildest enthusiasm wben the multitude in the sweltering atmosphere of the great auditorium arose to its feet and wildly cheered. Democrats had come from far and near in special trains to pay him homage. He was surrounded by men who had been at each other's throats in 1896, variously supporting Bryan, McKinley and Palmer. All' were now united in the opinion that Bryan wai " the man to lead them. Democratic pomp and circumstance were assembled to welcome the Ne braskan. There were eighteen United .States Senators and ex-Senators, and twenty Democratic Governors and ex Governors. There were representa tives of every State in the Union: from Hawaii and from the Territor- At his first appearance on theplat- I frrm Tr Hrvatl WQ o VloATAf f fla i mm mm. m mmm mm. mmm. a mm. b a b.

The meeting was opened by Harry W. Walker, who spoke on behalf of I me Jjommerciai Travelers' Anti-Trust League. He said only a few words, and then Introduced Governor Folk, of JMissourl, who . spoke fifteen min utes. When Tom L. Johnson, Mayor of Cleveland, was introduced as the pre siding officer he received a warm welcome, which ' caused . Mr. John son to smile broadly. He got a round of applause when he said if a halt rwas not soon called the corporations would make the laws of the country and the people would be compelled to live under them. A Mr. . hnson then introduced Au gustus Thomas, the playwright, to make the speech of welcome. . Mr. Thomas has a voice of great power, and he was heard in every part of the hall. Then Mayor Johnson came forward again to remark that this was the happiest night of his life, and introduced Mr. Bryan. Then came cheering for the Nebraskan as he stepped forward. Mr. Bryan in his introductory re marks told how his love for our form of government had been quickened by his visit to other lands. He spoke of the progress of arbitration among nations, and coupled with this the hope that the United States would not adopt in its foreign relations the policy of collecting private debts by the, use of the Navy. Then Mr. Bryan set forth the issues for which he will contend in the next Presiden tial campaign. The most notable of these was the Federal ownership of trunk railroads. A synopsis of Mr. Bryan's recom mendations follows: 1. Arbitration treaties which pro vide for submitting disputes to The Hague or some other tribunal for in vestigation before declaring war or beginning hostilities 2. The Navy not to be employed for -he collection of private debts against other countries. 3. The Philippines to be dealt with after the manner of Cuba. 4. An amendment to the Constitu tion . providing that each new Con gress shall convene in regular session a few months after the election of its members, instead of thirteen months later, as at present 5. An amendmentto the Constitu tion providing for the election of United States Senators by direct vote. 6. An amendment to the Constitu tion specifically authorizing the Fed eral Government to levy an income tax.. 7. The compulsory arbitration of all labor disputes, but no compulsory acceptance of the commission's find ings. 8. An eight-hour day. 9. No "government by injunction." 10. The money question to be con sidered a closed incident. 11. Publicity as to campaign con tributions, and no contributions from corporations to political campaign funds. - " .'..' 12 The destruction and eradica tion of all trusts and monopolies: (a) By enforcing , the criminal clause of the Sherman law.

TRAINS GIRLS ' FOR WIVES Cleveland Starts a New Depart. ment in High Schools. r Scientific Cooking and the Care of Babies Taught Instructors Will Be Women. of Experience. ; . Cleveland, C.io. Girl pupils In the Cleveland high schools are to be taught scientifically how to become good wive?. Superintendent Elson and his assistant; Hicks, outlined their plans for a technical branch of the high school which would be de voted exclusively to the teaching of girls , In the arts of housewifery. whether they int. ad to, take up that profession later in life. The instruc tors will be women who have suc ceeded as wives, and will be much more practical than theoretical. The girls will be taugtt to sweep, to sew, how best 10 purchase household sup plies and how to care for babitj. They will have real babies to dress and care for under the watchful su pervision, of course; of the teachers who have gone through all these ex periences. Superintendent Elson said: "This is not a fad or an experi ment. We are going at this earnestly and scientifically. The average girl who marries to-day is woefully ignor ant of the duties expected of her, and therein lies a lot of domestic misery. and to this fact can be traced the wedge which has broken up many homes which should have been per manent and happy. We are going to fit our girls to be wives, not serv ants. The first year they will take up the arts applied arts and ele mentary sewing. The second year elementary chemistry in its -relation to household duties and a more ad vanced course in sewing and the arts that ability to make home beauti ful and attractive. . "The third and fourth years will be devoted to scientific cooking. With good cooking our divorce courts1 lose much business. We shall teach the girls how to care for the invalid, and especially how to care-for babies; how to deal with the butcher and gro cer and everything a wife should know. Even if. our girls marry rich men and have servants to do their work this training will put them in a position to know whether their serv ants are doing the work properly": One important feature of the training will be the teaching of the girls' to make their own clothing and millin ery." CRAZr OVER BANK FAILURE. Man Grows Violent Brooding Over Loss of $80. Chicago. Johann Kindler, eigh teen years old, became violent and alarmed passengers in -an Ashland avenue car while brooding over the loss of $80, wnich he had deposited in the failed Milwaukee Avenue State Bank.

In addition, three persons, Including a teller of the defunct bank have com mitted suicide, and one man fell dead following the flight of President Paul Stensland and the closing of the bank. TRAGEDY OF THE PLAINS. Dead Mules Hitched to Wagon Con taining Two Dead Men. Roswell, N. M. J. S. Mercham, of Portales, while driving across the des ert near Kenna, found a covered wagon, with two dead men on the seat, and four mules dead in their harness. Mercham made no investi gation, but hurried to the nearest telegraph office and sent to the Sheriff here the facts of his discovery. Officers started at once for the scene, carrying medicines and a small .supply of nourishing food, fearing that inside the wagon there might be women and children who are sick or starving. - THREE DEWEY PRIZES FOR $103. Inglorious End of Spanish Ships Cap tured at Manila. . Washington, D. C. Three Spanish ships captured by Admiral Dewey in Manila Eay on May 1, 1898, were sold by the Navy ' Department for $103. - These -ships were advertised at several Asiatic ports, the total cost of advertising being $28, and the Navy Department is quite well satis fied that the bids were sufficient to cover the expense of advertising. " The three ships are the Albay, Ma nileno and 1 Mindanao. They have been stripped of everything movable, and are simply old hulks practically useless for ny purpose of the. navy. Estimates of Canada's Crop.' The first estimate of the wheat crop yield issued by the Northwest Grain Dealers' Association is far short of that of the sanguine crop experts, who figure on one . hundred or 125,000,000 bushels. In their circular the erain men placed the average yield at 19.4 bushels acre, or an aggregate crop of 207,000 bushels. per 77.- Nebraskans Call on Hearst.

Grass-cutting machines of every size and shape, from tiny hand ma chines only six inches wide up to pony mowers of thirty-inch blades, meant for service on bowling greens and lawns of manorial dimensions, are now pouring into repairing shops for "fixing up" for the season. Most of them require the aid of the mower dentist, for their "teeth" are worn and blunt; many show signs of severe, usage and of having been out in. the rain for prolonged periods. A thor ough overhaul works wonders. The machine that looked so disreputable' nd "seedy" on entrance to Messrs. Green's .

It it remarkable what suffering some persons put up with just to sat isfy an appetite for something. A Mich, woman rays: "I had been using coffee since I was old enoush to have a cup 'of my own at the table, and from it I have suffered agony hundreds of times in the years past. "My trouble first began in the form of bilious colic, coming on every few weeks and almost ending my life. At every attack for 8 years I suf fered in this way. I used to pray for death' to relieve me from my suffer ing. I had also attacks of sick head ache, and began to suffer from ca tarrh of the stomach, and of course awful dyspepsia. "For about a year I lived on crack ers and water. Believing that coffee was the cause of all this suffering, I finally quit it" and began to use Postum Food Coffee. It agreed with my stomach, my troubles have left me and I am fast gaining my health under its use. "'No wonder I condemn coffee and tea. No one could be in a much more critical condition than I was front the use of coffee. Some doctors pro nounced it cancer, others ulceration, but none gave me any relief. But since I stopped coffee and began Pos tum I am getting well so fast I can heartily recommend it for all who guff er as I did." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.
