Hookmakers tonight talked of nothing else but the story of the defalcation of the note teller of the First National bank. Bvery beokmaker at the Saratoga race track knew him. For them his nod was sufficent for a bet of thousands and never during the season did they have to wait for the collection of his wagers. Alvord's great bulld made him a marked figure on the race track and at the Saratoga club. Though Dick Canfleld says ho never saw him and does not know him, many men who played roulette or faro remembered Alvord as the mhn who bought $500 stacks and played to the limit and almost invarlably lost without the slilghtest show of emotion. “He always bet the cagh," Frank, a Saratoga bookmaker. “So, I never knew much about him. I never paid him A bet, for he never won one. He was the best loser I ever saw and would come around chipper the next day and bet me again. He could have all the credit he wanted, but he never bet me more than $100 on @& race and always handed out the money." n 8 for the First said Sam Drove Fast Horses, “He drove the finest trotters in Sara- toga,” aald another bookmaker, ‘‘and soowed to like the attentlon he attracted He did not seem to care for women and 1 don't think I ever saw him with one. He had several friends in Saratoga and drove them about the village and down to the lake, where he had expensive dinners.” He had no hesitation in betting trom to $1,500 on & race and his nod was A8 good us another man's money. He was the most regular loser that I ever saw. He alwaye lost. In fact, I never knew him to cash a bet. He had a stable of horses, or at least was credited with having them, but they were run in the name.of a trainer, ‘They never won during the Saratoga meet- ing. He was & marked man at Saratoga, owlng to his slze. Everybody knew him and his position in the First National bank was well understood. Knowing that he was living on a salary, there was consider- able comment on his action, but book- makers do not pay much attention to such things so long as a man makes good his loases," — Aflorm _Dlfihor ; To assist digestion, relieve distress after eating or drinking too heartily, to prevent constipation, take Hood’s Pills | of Chicago electriclans and telegraph opera- aug- | | ess L] ) ek moving, frequently fine Nilks and every sort afford unmatched wances for the woman who de- who has an eye for economy. xtra good quaiity.

BOARD OF TRADE OI.ITWITTEIS Which Outside Brokers Got 1 Chicago Quotations Revealed in Court. MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 23.~The mys- tery surrcunding the manner {u which tl outside brokers and commission men were ablo to secure quotations of the Chicago Board of Trade from August 1 to October 16, was dispelled today when he testimoney tors was filed in the United States court. The secret was revealed by Oscar M. Stone in an examination conducted before Com- missioner Harper in Chicago. In brief, it Is to the effect that the quotations were secured by a system of messengers who went to varfous blackboards and tickers and got the quotations. Then thoy hurried to a convenient telephone or else to a place whero signalling could be done. Then an operator In a room opposite A La Salle street broker's office, with the ald of a fleld glass, read off the quotations ax fast as they wero posted to an operator presiding at @ telegraph instrument. In this way the Chicago and outside citles were turnished the quotations. The telegraph lines used in Chicago were old abandoned wires that were not used by | the telephone company. Mr. Stone had | three telephones in his offices and they were in uee almost constantly during business hours, and six men were employed to get the quotations. One man would get one option on wheat and another man would secure another option. The men were given a list of offices where blackboards were posted, but were cautioned mnot to go to the open board of trade. Mr. Stone refused to reveal his system of eignals. They were the product gf his brain, he sald, and valuable. The signals were worked by men in the alleys by a combination of the points of the compass. The system did not work well on fractions. George F. Hoyt corroborated the statements of Mr. Stone concerning the telephones and signals. Stone ceased operations on October 10, the date of the injunction.

Imme- diately after the organization Right Rev. T. U. Dudley, bishop of Kentucky, dellv- ered tke address of welcome.

The big tent at the corner of Capitol ave nue and Fifteenth street was the acene of another big republican rally last night, the | occasion being an address by Gencval Dan- lel E.

Greene, Hon. C. H. Dietrich, County Clefk Haverly, J. N Westberg, W. W. Bingham, Hdward Rose- water, Captain M. E. Palmer and many other prominent republicans, Judge Strawn #l80 accompanied him as commander of the veterans, who presided at the meeting The Rough Rider quartet of York put the audience in proper tone'hy a topical song each verse concluding with the melodious that “When the votes are counted Nebraska will be fu line." In presenting General Sickles JTudgé Strawn paid a tribute to his valor in the fleld and his continued efforts ever since to perpetuate the leseons then inculcated General Sickles spoke sitting, with his left arm tbrust through his crutches. As a Justification for comiug to Bryan's state to speak he dwelt upon the breadth and vital importance of the lssucs favolved to the entire nation and he came to speak to Americans rather than Nebraskans. He came to speak to republicans and demo- crats. He had always been a democrat, ex- cept in 1861 and 1596. He need not apolo- €ize for his action in 1896, In that year the democrats had no candidate. It has none now, but one harrowed from the popullsts. Bryan as a Monopoly. One reason why I am_ opposed Mr. Bryan is because he {8 a menopolist, Not- withstanding his pronounced opposiilon to the monopoly he i trying to monopolize the nominations” of all political parties. With his two feet he is endeavoring to tand on three platforms. - 1f he could have secured the middle-of-the-road nomination he would have tried to stand on four. But the mid- die-of-the-road populists disclaim Bryan as a fusionist. The old-time Jacksonian and Jeffersoniun democrats cannot claim him because he opposes everything that demo- crats want and advocates evervthing they don’t want. The speaker recalied how his grandfather, as a Jeffersonian democrat, extolled Jefferson for the Loulsiana pur- chase and his father, as a Jacksonian dem- ocrat, commended a'similar course in that democratic patriarch. Mr. Bryan is the first candidate who eyer claimed that the democratic party was op- osed to expansion. All other candidates have been gifted with its successful ud- voca Referring to Bryan's support of the treaty and his having favored the war, the speaker fuquired what epithet could be ap- plled to a man who does a thing and then sneaks out of it. Presldent McKinley's dealing with Spain, whom this country would have been justified in’stripping of all ‘her possessions, was highly com- mended. Having driven them from the American continent, the president looked out across to the Philippine island and #ald that those islands are consecrated to liberty and must remain under the Ameri- can flag and so he instructed the peace com- mission to demand them. A volce was heard: Sulus?* The speaker paid no heed to the inter- ruption, but a moment later, whon a policeman was seen ushering the man out, General Sickles sald “0, dou't mind that bother me a bit, this fool.” General Sickles sald that the difference between McKinley and Bryan is that the former accepts responsibility for his own acts, while Bryan does not. Referring to militarism, the speaker re- viewed the careers of Washington, Jack- son, Lincoln and Grant, all of whom had beeen decried as dictators, but who at the end of their careers had retired to private Iife and ncbody was hurt, But there was a time when this country was really threatened with militarlsm That was when Bllly Bryan jolned th army, But the war was ended befo Bryan learned to put on and take off hls uniform or to walk without tripping over his sword. And in that the Lord was iw‘ to us, for if Bryan had ever got in battle and out of it with credit we would have had a_genulne militarist. = He would have moved upon the White House and taken possession and there he would have remained. Has Never Fought a Trust. Generul Sickles denied that Bryan had ever avalled himselt of his years of op- portunity to lift a hand to save the people from the trusts, about which he now says 80 much. In one plank of his Kansas City platform he refers to government by injunction, By that he means that he would deprive the courts of their ancient function of re- straining the commission of a wrongful act. If that were done, he would like Mr. Bryan to tell how he would ever stop the operations of a trust, as the injunction is the only means of stopping a trust. ‘What does Mr. Bryan stand for? 1 am sorry to may it here, among the people of Dis own state, but It 18 my duty to arralgn him as l(f)uh\lr enemy, because the w)lu‘§ns tenor and trend of &1l of Mr. Bryan's #pecches have been to array class aguiist class, nelghbor against nelghbor, employer agalist employe, commoner against capl- tallst and one section against another, to disseminate {1l feeling between us and ‘our English cousins on the other side of the Atlantic, all tending to discord, enmity, hatred and destruction, The speaker said that all of the great statesmen o the country had endeayored to bring together the people of the various sectlons of the country and President Me- Kinley has done more in that direction than any president since 1861. If it were not for the race question he would receive the electoral vote of more than half of the southern states. In terms of unmistakable earnestness and with patriotic fidelity he mentioned the conditions that have been brought about under McKinley's administration, the sound financial polley, for the first time in its history a creditor nation, the balance of trade overwhelmingly in bur favor, with the natlons of the old world coming to us to borrow money—not paper or flat money, but gold. Under the administration of McKinley we have the gold to lend them. Under the McKinley administration there is employment for the laboring man at better wakes than he ever recelved beforo and ho gets his pay in gold. No Reason to Change, General Sickles ridiculed the plea for the election of Bryan because he can do no harm, as his adversaries have him muzzled He said that the people are endowed with common sense and when they look around them upon the prosperous and happy con- ditions prevalling, with all our Interests to magnanimity in ““How about the man.

He directed attention to the fact that during his recent visit to New York Bryan had glorified Croker, which would the support of the his defeat element. “Now, when you Bryanism together,” sald General Sickles “and offer that fusion in one cup, I don't like to tell you the number of thousands by which they will refect the dose. In closing, General Sickles spoke with pathos and earnestness of his great love for the old soldiers, especlally those who put Crokerism and | had served under his immediate command of whom he had met many in Omaha.

T e —— SHOWED THE MINISTER And Got Him fn L In a minister's family In Los Angeles where I was visiting some time ago, the wite complained of serious indigestion and dyspepsia. She admitted that she used coffee and said she more than half believed that was the trouble. I told her that I knew it was the trouble, for I had gone through with the experience my- selt and had only been cured when I left off coffee and took up Postum Food Coftes “She sald she had tried the Postum, both for herself and her husband, but they did not like it. With her permission I made Postum next morning myself, and bofled it full fitteen minutes after the real boiling of the pot began. Then when it was sery- ed it was @ rich, recp brown color, and had the true flavor and food value that every Postum maker knows. It is all folly to talk about trylng to make Postum with one or two minutes steeping “You can’t get something good for noth- ing. It mast be bolled, boiled, boiled, and to keep it from boiling over, use small lump of butter, perhaps twice the size of a pea That morning the minister and his wife Iiked Postum so well that their whole lives were changed on the question of diet aud they abandoned coffee at once and for all time. Now after a hard day's work, they are comforted, refreshed and rested by a cup of well made Postum for supper. They are both enthuslastic in its praise. The wife has entirely recovered from her dyspepsia I will not go Into the details of my own case, except to say that I was a desperate sufferer with dyspepiia and dlscovered by leaving oft colfee that coffee was the cause of it. 1 quickly got well when 1 took up Postum Food Coffee.
