Chicago, Feb. 4—The Record-Herald says today: “] am not willing at this time to say what my attitude will be toward the democratic nominations in the next contest.” Thus spoke William Jennings Bryan last night in re- sponse to # direct question as to his willingness to lead the democratic hosts in 1908, and his reply ledsome of his friends to believe thathe might again be his party’s nominee, Mr. Bryan conferred yesterday with Mayor Harrison on national politics and it was admitted by the Nebras- kan that the situation confronting the democratic party was thesubject considered. “Reorganization,” said Mr. Bryan “must come through the people and not through the leaders.

Mitchell onanother charge of bribery, and had also in dicted State Senator Geo. C. Brown well, one of the foremost Republican polit'cians and lawyers in this state, on charges of subornation of per jury. The indictment against Mr. Mitch- ell alleges that, while a senator from this state to the federal congress, he accepted on several occasions sums of money aggregating $4200 trom a timber land dealer, named Frederick R. Kribes, for services rendered in, it is alleged, inducing Congressman Binger Hermann, then commissioner of the general land office at Wash- ington, to expedite, make special and approve certain applications for public lands, and reccommend the issuing of patents to the lands.

One Instance of Goughing Tariff. “The Southwest is paying a heavy tribute to the Steel Trust,” said a traveler fora Pittsburg firm. ‘‘Be- cause of the tariff on steel the people are paying 20 per cent more for steel bridges and buildings, and for that matter, for every other articles of steel fabrication used by them than they would if our ports were open to steel, “Steel as it comes from the Ameri- can rolling mills now cost $1.60 a hundred pounds. Years ago the same quality of steel mace a big profit when sold for $1 a hundred pounds. With the tariff removed the iron and steel masters of England, Belgium and Germany would have a chance to compete with the producers in this country. In such an event the price of rolling mill steel would be reduced at least 20 per cent, prob- ablymore.” “Under existing tariff conditions a bridge such as the people of Missouri, for instances, pay $9,000 for, can be built in Mexico for from $4,500 to $5000. In Mexico the steel trust has to meet foreign competition. Pittsburg steel that costs the Amer- ican people $1.60 a hundred pounds sold to thd Mexican people for about $1 10. “The tariff, some one has said, {s the father of trusts. The trusts will thrive so long as the tariff schedules rast as they now are.” Spoiled Her Beauty. Harriett Howard, of 209 W. 34th, St., New York, at one time had her beauty spoiled with skin trouble. She writes: “I had Salt Rheum or Eczema for years, but nothing would cure it, until ' used Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.”’ A quick and sure healer for cuts, burns and sores. 25c at Frank T Clay’s drug store. “Prairie hay {s the best kind of roughness for horses” said an old farmer in the Fulton Gazette. “For the last fifteen years I have been shipping it in from my farm in cen- trul Kansas and feeding it to my stock. It will stop heaves, and a horse will drive further on prairie hay than on any other forage. All the fast horseman use it, and the liverymen know of its good qualities preference to any other other kind. James Leavel had a heavey mare that he cured by feeding prairie hay he got from me, and T. H. Britt, of this place, straightened out an old horse that was ailing by using the same kind of feed. It costs more other hay here, the price in barn be- ing $10 per ton, but itis worth more.
