BRYAN WAS NOT PAID A CENT. Refused to Accept Anything For His St. Marv Speech. Topeka, Kan., Sept. 6.—The day after William Jennings Bryan ad- dressed tho Woodmen’s log roiling at St. Marys a story appeared in the republican papers to the effect that Mr Bryan refused to accept the in- vitation to speak at St. Marys until he had received a draft for $150. In reality, Mr. Bryan’s letter accept- ing the invitation reached St. Marys the same day the draft was sent. Not only that, but when he arrived in St. Marys he returned the draft to James Graham, chairman of the program committee, and the amount has been prorated to those who fur nished it. Mr. Bryan refused to accept a cent for his speech, and even insisted upon paying his own expenses. f Neither Mr. Bryan nor his friends care to go to the trouble to disprove every idle fake that appears regard- ing him. In this case, however, the falshood is wantonly vicious, and the unanimity with which it ap peared in half a dozen papers at once shows that it was inspired de liberately. Since then every repub lican organ in Kansas has used the fake asa text in editorials, abusing the democratic champion. In view of the widespread notoriety the St Marys inventien has gained, James Graham, who was chairman of the program committee at the St Marys log-rolling, comes foward with a statement setting Oolonel Bryan rightin the matter. Mr. Graham was the lieutenant colonel of the twenty-second Kansas regiment in the Spanish war and is a man of un- questioned integrity. BRYAN PAID HIS OWN EXPENSES. “Mr. Bryan accepted our invita- tion,” said Oolonel Graham before he had received our draft for $150, or before he knew that any amount would be tendered him. When we invited him notbing was said about taking care of his expenses. It was afterward suggested that since Mr. Bryan does not ride on a pass and pays full railroad fare, we ought at least to let him know he would be nothing out of pocket. Accordingly we wrote him a second letter incloe- ing a draft for $150. We explained that the money was not intended as payment for his speech, but to cover his railroad and incidental ex- penses to and from St Marys. The Same day that this letter was mailed to Mr. Bryan we received a letter from him telling us that he would accept the invitation. “When Mr. Bryan arrived here the first thing he did was to hand me the draft for $150. He said it was considerably in excess of his act- ual expenses, which were so small he could amply afford to pay them himeelf. That’sthe kind of a man W. J. Bryan is. I make this state ment because Mr. Bryan is being abused for something he never did. It is unreasonable to suppose that any republican organ will be manly enough to make this correction, but it may through other sources reach some of those who were prejudiced by the fake.” White's Cream Vermifuge is per- fectly harmless and will remove every worm.

Truly, imperialism is an expensive proposition. Can the people look with equanimity on a plan which carries with it the possibilities of an enormous increase of this burden of taxation to meet the tremendous ex- pense entailed by pensions’ From statistics furnished by the pension bureau, it is learned that since 1866, when the pension list began to assume considerable pro- portions, $2.370,000,000 have been expended in paying pensions. This isan amount not far from equal to the expenditures of the general government from its organi zation down to 1860. The pension outlay from 1866 almost equals the highest notch that the public debt attained after the close of the civil war. The debt reached its maximum Aug. 1, 1865, at $2,756,000,000. The pension expenditures since 1866 have been $2,370,000,000. The human mind is incapable of realizing the magnitude of these money val ues. The pension outlay was double the gross earnings of all the 182,000 mules of railway in the United States during the fiscal year 1898 Truly in calculating the cost of imperialism the minor expense of the present is not the only item worthy of consideration.—Chicago Democrat. PRESIDENT IS ARRESTED. W. W. Chandler, Head of Baird College, in Deep Trouble. Clinton, Mo., Sept. 7.—President W. W. Chandler of Baird College was arrested today on a warrant sworn out by Prof. Louis Thie!man, member of the faculty, charging him with obtaining $250 underfalse pretenses. School was to have opened Thurs- day, and many students were pres- ent, but Chandler failed to make his financial obligations good and his entire faculty left him. Prof. Baird thereupon announced there would be no school Thielman makes oath that Chan- dler claimed to have a lease on Baird college, when he had none in fact; that Chandler had pretended to have sole management and that the Baird family had no interest therein, whereas the Bairds were really con nected with the management, and that Chandler claimed to have $2000 to use in opening school when he bad no money. Thielman and other teachers had advanced Chandler money on his claims receiving notes and promises, and they, as well as many local cred- itors, aro very sore over the outcome. Prof. Ohandler came here from Humansville, Mo, where he was formerly saperintendent of schools. Does Coffee Agree With You? If not, drink Grain-O—made from pure grains.

New York Company Makes a Further Re- duction of 1-16 Cent Per Pound. New York, Sept. 7—The New York Sugar Refining Oompany, one of the independent companies, to- day made a further reeuction of one sixteenth ot a cent per pound in the refined grades, the net price now being 5.06c per pound. The selling agents for several other indepen dent refiners announced that they would allow a similar reduction to offset shortage charges and induce jobbers to withdraw sugars on time contracts. It is understood that President Lee, of the National Wholesale Gro- cers’ Association, yesterday submitt ed his plan to the. officials of the American Sugar Refining Company for the exclusive sale of “trust” sugar by the members of the associ ation. No action was taken andit is not likely that anything will be accomplished until next week, when the convention of the New York State Wholesale Grocers’ Associa- tion will be held at Saratoga.

City by a band of swindlers, seven men and two women, who have op erated from various points in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri. The swindlers secured their first money when a man appeared here from Iowa, stating that he had a herd of 1800 feeders in Iowa, but had not money enough to get the cattle in shape forthe market. The commission firm to which he appeal ed for financial assistance sent a man to Iowa, inspected the herd and loaned the man $5000, taking a first mortgage. A few days later a woman in wid- ow’s weeds appeared at the offices of another commission firm and se cured a similar amount on similar representations. The herd of feeders was rapidly moved through several counties in Kansas, and finally in Missouri, and repeatedly mortgaged, and it is stated that one commission firm was caught twice on the same bunch of cattle. The Journal withholds the names of the commission firms. There have been no arrests. Give The Children | a Drink called Grain-O.
