SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM MR. BRYAN’S FUTURE. William Jennings Bryan in defeat has lost: nothing of that sincere esteem in ‘which we believe the majority of his countrymen hold him personally. Bryan the man has won in recent years the good opinion of the people; it is only as a presi- dent that the masses of the people object to him. Those who see in three disastrous campaigns some- thing of the ludicrous overlook the fact that these campaigns—if we except the free silver folly of 96— have had an undeviable influence upon the country. Mr. Bryan always has been the leader of an ageressive opposition and in a republic an ageressive opposition is most desir- able.” It requires little thought and less of wit to talk ot “Bryan in 1912.” Such sreculation is, of course, sheer folly. The personality of William H. Taft, the work which the people expect him to do and h's immense popularity throughout the land seem assurance—if anything four years in the future can be assured—that -he will succeed himself in the White House. It may be that for Mr. Bryan is reserved the fate of those other gifted Americans, Henry Clay and James G. Blaine, who, though they never realized their life’s ambi- tion, left, neverthel:ss, a lasting im- press upon their country and aided materially in the shaping of its affairs. Mr. Bryan, we believe, will always be a leading and admirable figure in our national life. He has grown migh4ly in the years since un- brideled eloquence won him a presi- dential nomination. He was little more than a firebrand then; he is an able man today with such a keen knowledge of affairs, such a mag- netic personality and so much abil- ity as an orator that he seems des- tined to be alway$ a force that must be reckoned with. Perhaps destiny has decreed that he shall remain a private citizen. As such we believe he will command the respect even of those who have voted against him, as well as the devotion of those followers who have fought with him in three disastrous campaigns. As to his future, we suggest that it is both foolish and useless to worry about it. Mr. Bryan is quite able to take care of himself. “GROWLER” SHOULD CHEER UP. Our old friend, the “Growler” of the Bemidji Sentinel, lamented as follows, last week: “This is a poor paper, but please remember that its editor has been paralized by the election. We did not land a single candidate, and we feel awful weak and lonely, so excuse this issue and we hope to be in our normal condition by Monday.” Cheer up, colonel. There’s another city election coming, next spring, and you can disinter “The Daily Sentinel” and lease it to zealous partisans who want to elect a mayor. “Every cloud has a silyer (or greenback) lining,” Brother. Brief, but Crushing. He was very badly in love indeed and had sat up till the “wee sma’ hours” composing the following lines: Beautiful one, with eyes so blue, Oh, how my fond heart sighs for youl Sweet spirit, listen to me now; Hear once again my ardent vow. He turned out about three yards ot this soul inspiring verse and sent it to the object of his adoration with a re- quest that she would express an opin- fon on its merits. This is what he re- ceived: “Dear Mr. Hopkins,” she wrote, “J do not like to hurt your feelings, but if you will read the initial letters of your first four liney’ downward I may say that they express my sentiments exactly.” Might Be Worse. An old woman was brought into a London hospital suffering from a pol- soned leg. The house surgeon made a hurried examination. He was a man of blunt speech. “It will have to come off,” he told her. “What, not all of it?” “The whole of it, I'm sorry to say,” growled the house surgeon. “Nothing else for it?" “No other chance for you whatever,” explained the house surgeon. “Ah, well, thank Gawd it's not my read.” Frost on the Moon. Changes on the moon’s surface, espe. clally at the point known as the crater Linnaeus, are recognized by some as- tronomers. It is concluded that the diminution of a white patch must be 2 melting of hoarfrost at sunrise and that the deposition and melting frost must be taking place In other parts of the moon.—London Chronicle. 2 PENDING APPEAL OF CASE Tobacco Trust Will Continue Business as Ueual. New York, Nov. 12.—James B. Duke, president of the American To- bacco company, has issued a letter to the ftockholders and bondholders. of that company calling their attention to the recent decisicn of the United States circuit court of this city tha the company was a combination in re- straint of trade. After reviewing the decision Mr. Duke announced that the business of the company will proceed JAMES B. DUKE. as usual pending an appeal to the su- preme court. [t was gratifying, he declared, that the court found that “our methods and success have not injured the consumers of tobacco; have greatly benefitted the producers of leaf tobacco by giving a larger market and higher prices and that we have not resorted to unfair or oppres- sive competition.” SPEAKERS CONTINUE T0 SCORE KAISER Debate on Interview Resume in the Reichstag, Berlin, Nov. 12.—The reichstag was again crowded when the debate on the interview with Emperor William, published in the London Daily Tele- graph on Oct. 28, was resumed. The house listened with undiminished at- tention while the constitutionality of Emperor William’s private interposi- tion in the foreign affairs of the na- tion was discussed. Chancellor von Buelow and all the other ministers, including Baron von Kiderlen-Waech- ter, the acting foreign minister, were present and the diplomatic and other galleries were crowded. Baron Gamp, Conservative, sald he thought that the anger and bitterness shown by Herr Liebermannn von Sco- nenberg, the Agrarian and Anti- Semite, was no way to treat such a sorrowful subject. It was tragic, he raid, that a sovereign with so many admirable qualities should find him- self in such a plight. His majesty’s trouble ought rather to be ascribed to his responsible advisers, who, since the time of Bismarck, never have been able to tell his majesty plainly his constitutional duties. Caprivi was a soldier who always defined his duty as merely to obey the Prince of Ho- henlohe, Baron Gamp continued. Val- uable as he was to the empire he never obtained a strong hold over the emperor. Chancellor von Buelow has at times exerted considerable influ- ence over his majesty, but we would like to know the basis of the convic- tion that the emperor will be more reserved in the future than in the past, Baron Gamp was followed by sev- eral other members of the reichstag, who reviewed the acts of the em- peror and complained sharply of the chancellor’s course in not resisting imperial excursions beyond the consti- tutional frontiers. Carl Scradier, Radical, said Em- peror William should be in Berlin at- tending to affairs of state rather than at Friedrichshafen watching the as- censions of the Zeppelin airship. LABORITE BECOMES PREMIER Deakin Ministry Defeated in Austra. lian Parliament. Melbourne, Nov. 12.—The govern- ment having failed to bring forward in the Australian parliament meas- ures sufficiently radical to please the labor element the members represent- ing that party in the house withdrew their support of the Deakin ministry and the government was defeated on a division. Mr. Fisher, a radical la- bor leader, will form a new cabinet. This is the second time the Labor party has been in power in the Aus- tralian federal parliament. J. C. Wat- son, another of the labor leaders, was premier for a short time in 1904. Only Regular Dividends Declared. New York, Nov. 12.—Directors of the Southern Pacific company de. clared a regular quarterly dividend of 13 per cent on common stock and 1 regular semi-annual dividend of 3% per cent on preferred stock. The Un- jon Pacific directors declared a reg- ular dividend of 2% per cent on com- mon stock. Break ‘if Harriman Stocks. New York, Nov. 12—A violent break in prices of the stocks of the Harriman. Pacific .railroads.caused a feverish and excited tone in the early stock market. - These stocks were un- loaded in enormous amounts. by spec- ulators, who bought them Tuesday 6n the rumors that dividends were to be advanced. . The rumors were dis- credited and the beliet preyailed that only the regular dividends would be declared. . et ELEVEN KILLED, MANY INJURED Passenger Trains in Crash Near New Orleans. Those Who Escaped Death in the Col- lision Compelled to Fight thé Flames and Little Aid Could Be Given to the Badly Injured, Several of Whom Died While Lying About the Smouldering Debris. New Orleans, Nov. 12—Fleven per- sons are known to be dead and a score or more injured as a result of & wreck on the New Orleans and North- eastern railroad at Little Woods, twelve miles from New Orleans: Between Slidell and New Orleans : i the tracks of the New Orleans and Northeastern railroad are used by the Great Northern railroad and it was a suburban train of this road from Cov- ington that crashed into the rear of a | local Northeastern train from Hattles- burg, Miss., telescoping the four rear coaches. Little Woods is a fishing and hunt- ing camp on Lake Pontchartrain and {8 so surrounded by swamps that the only approach to the scene of the wreck is by way of the railroad. It was some time before the news of the catastrophe reached the city, but as soon as it was learned a relief train was hastily made up and rushed to the scene. ‘When the relief train reached Little ‘Woods the wreck had caught fire and the first efforts of the passengers and the few fishermen and hunters were directed toward subduing the flames. In this way they had been partially successful, but little succor had been given to the badly injured and several of these died while lying about the smouldering debris. Rude bandages had been bound about their wounds in an effort to stop the flow of blood and in many instances the later ex- amination of the railroad surgeons showed that more than one life had been saved in this manner. None worked harder than the wo- men passengers in taking care of the injured. Tearing up underskirts they bound up wounds, thus stopping the flow of blood. Only one physiclan was among the passengers on the train, Dr. Henry Tartleton of Covington, La., who worked heroically in administering to the most seriously injured and dirsct- ing the eflorts of others in making the wounded as comfortable as possi- ble under the circumstances. JUSTICE FULLER IS DEAD Member of South Dakota Supreme Court Since 1889. Pierre, 8. D, Nov. 12—Judge How- ard G. Fuller of the state supreme court is dead after a lingering illness. He had been on.the supreme bench since 1889. Howard G. Fuller was born in Glens Falls, N. Y., in 1854 and when a child came to Jackson county, Ia., with his parents. In 1881 he was admitted to the bar in Iowa and in 1886 came to Dakota territory and in 1888 was elected as judge of the Sixth circuit. In 1839 he was appointed to the su- preme bench to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Bennett and has been twice elected to that position, the last time in 1904. SIX PERSONS MEET DEATH Thirty Cars Wrecked and Burned in Collision. Cheyenng, Wyo., Nov. 13.—Six per- sons were killed and three others badly injured when .an extra freight train on the Union Pacific road col- lided with an engine and caboose at Borie. Thirty cars were piled in a heap and the entire mass of wreckage took fire and was burned. The bod ies of Kngineer Schley and an un known man have been recovered. Four other bodies are still under the wreck age. The freight train got beyond control of the brakes and ran seven miles down a heavy grade to Borie where the collision occurred. Price War in Sugar Trade. New York, Nov. 12.—Price reduc- tion in refined sugar caused rumors to circulate in the trade of a renewal of the old fight between the Amer- ican Sugar Refining company and Ar- buckle Bros. These reports have been based on the scaling down of the mar- gin between raw and refined sugar which has been in progress of late.

The normal margin between raw su- gar and refined is about 90 a cents a hundred pounds. The gradual reduc- tion which has been in progress hs brought the difference down to 73 cents. DECISION BY BONAPARTE Declares Marine Band Not Strictly a “Navy Band.” ‘Washington, Nov. 12.—The Marine band will be free to play for com- pensation without regard to the stat- qute providing that navy bands ox members thereof shall not receive remuneration for furnishing music outside the limits of military posts when in competition with local civil- {an musicians. This is the effect of a decision rendered by the attorney gen- eral. Representatives of organized labor have taken the position that the government bands of the navy should not compete with union ‘musicians and the question was as to whether the Marine band is strictly a “navy band” in the meaning of the law. The attorney general cites many decisions to show that while the marine corps is a part of the navy yet it has fre- quently been held to be a separate institution so far as legislative enact- ments are concerned. Rear Admiral Miller Dead. Philadelphia, Nov. 12.—Rear Ad- miral James M. Miller, governor of the United States Naval home in this city, dled at that institution after a brief illness. Admiral Miller was sixty-one years old and was appoinded to the navy from Missouri in 1863. MARKET QUOTATIONS. Minneapolis Wheat.

SECOND APOSTLE PALL Minister Declares in His Appeal That if Nebraskan Would “Consecrate His Talents to God the Bryan of the Twentieth Century Would Equdl-the Paul of the First Century in Cause of Christ.” Burlington, Kan, Nov. 12.—Rev. French E. Oliver, who i3 holding a revival meeting here, has issued an open letter to Willlam J. Bryan urg- ing the Nebraskan to become an evan- gelist and predicting that he would Yecome an equal of the Apostle Paul. “Twelve years ago,” writes Rev. Oliver, “I wrote you a letter in which I stated my conviction that you should preach the gospel and added the statement that if you would conse- | crate your wonderful talents to God ' as an evangelist the Bryan of the Twentieth century would equal the Paul of the First century as a cham- | plon of the cause of Christ. “Personally your three defeats have | been three sources of sorrow to me, as I have hoped to see you elected to the presidency.

Oliver has been conducting a revival campaign in Kansas for sev- | eral weeks. He has done work as an evangelist in all parts of the country.
