talk with the free silver champion
The talk was not so much political as
social. Bryan after a while turned to
little Gladys and said:
"They tell me that you can shout
for Bryan. Can you?"
"Yes." said Gladys.
"Well, let me hear you "
"Hurrah for Bryan," said the pretty
little miss.
Later in the day T. N. Allen, secre-
tary of the free homes league of Okla
homa, got into Bryan's presence after
a good deal of trouble and presented
him with a pen, made, Mr. Allen
said, by the settlers. It was a pen-
holder and pen made of black jack
with a silver nib on the end in propor-
tions of sixteen to one. Bryan .smiled

Wichita Eagle: The hottest man
who ever left Wichita, after a day sup-
posed to be one of juDilation, was J.
Y. Callahan, delegate to congress from
the territory of Oklahoma, when he
crowded on the train homeward
bound.
Oklahoma is a narticular friend to
Wichita. The city adopted the terri.
tory early in its career, and nothiug
has ever before interfered with the
hospitality always extended by Wich-
ita to Oklahoma until Congressman
Callahan struck the town.
Mr. Callahan was dressed in his best
suit of clothes. He is the free silver
champion of Oklahoma, and as such
he brought with him a crowd of ad
oring personal friends, wtio had been
given to understand quiet,y that Cal-
lahan stood very close to Bryan, and
in the event of Hryan's election would
certainly be given a place in the cabi
net. Callahan promised that "he
would see Bryan" and they could all
have a little talk with him, pledging
Bryan the support of Oklahoma in the
convention of 1U00. He extolled the
virtues of Bryan to his crowd of
adorers. Bryan, he told them, was a| affray took place at Buckeye

friend of the common people. He
loved to elbow with them and get
next to them. No man was so poor or
so badly dressed as to he refused a
hearing and a hand-shake by Bryan.
So Callahan and his retinue swept
into town. They had visions of taking
Bryan off in a side room and having a
quiet little love chat with him, while
the thousands of unpreferred and
common people were howling on the
outside of the door for a sight of his
face. When Callahan took his bear-
ings and found out where Bryan was,
he at once announced to the crowd
that the great and only was at the
Commercial club. So with Callahan
smiling) at their head, they set out
for the Commercial club. Once inside
the door, with the heavy carpets slid-
ing about their feet, the retinue shot
an inquir'ng glance at their leader as
much as to say: "And does the great
friend of the people seekrefuge from
the multitude in such palaces as
these?"
But Callahan smiled reassuringly
and led the way. He found what
room Bryan was in, but a guard at the
door raised his hand ominously and
said in a whisper:
"Mr. Bryan is res:ing."
"But 1 am Delegate Callahan from
Oklahoma and—"
' I am ordered to keep all people
out," said the guard.
Two or three of Callahan's followers
turned deadly pale. Were the great
common people excluded like this?
"But tell Mr. Bryan I am here."
"I cannot disturb him "
Callahan was mad. His jiws came
together with a smack and his skin
became chalky.
He led the disgusted crowd away.
A prominent citizen of the city met
him and accosted him just as he was
leaving the club. Callahan answered
glumly. The citizen took him aside
and asked him what the trouble was.
Callahan told him.
"Come with me," Said the citizen.
He went to the door of the sacred
room and knocked. There was no an-
swer. He theu pur, his knee against
the panel and forced ti e door and Cal-
lahan and his retinue approached the
throne. Callahan at once beamed and
proposed to Mr. Bryan that he give a
reception to the Oklahoma people in
Wichita.
Bryan was very, very tired and he
said so. He said that if he gave a re-
ception to the Oklahoma people,others
not from Oklahoma would crowd in
and he would have to go through the
formality of standing up and shaking
hands and he really has not the
strength to do it.
Callahan was crest fallen.
He soon left and that was the last
he saw of Bryan. He isn't half as en-
thusiastic over the great leader as he
has been.
The Oklahoma man who really did
get close to Bryan in Wichita was that
bright and able young attorney from
Kay county, Alonzo A. Byers. Byers
is genial and genteel in speech and
dress. He has known Bryan for a
number of years. He saw him imme-
diately upon his arrival and Bryan at
once set an hour with him. So for an
hour in company with Mrs. Byers and
Gladys Byers, 4 years of age, Mr By-
ers called on Mr Bryan and had along

The aches and pains of Rheumatism
become a constant companion to all who
are victims of this disabling disease.
Much suffering couM be avoided it the
first warning pains of RheuiiKttUm were
heeded and liie proper treatment at once
taken. But the people generally are
not acquainted with the cause of the
disease, though thousands know its tor-
tures. Those who use liniments and
ointments cannot understand why they
grow worse each winter, and find them-
selves gradually becoming unable to get
around as tlu-y once could; yet they
know that their trouble came 011 at first
as little aches and pains, which hardly
attracted their attention.1
Everybody should know more about
rheumatism; they should know that it
is a peculiar condition of the blood upon
which all the liniments in the world
can have 110 effect whatever. The
best bloo 1 remedy is needed—one which
is able to go to the very ^eat of the
disease, and force it out. Swi t's Specific
(S S.S.) is the right remedy for Rheu-
matism, because it is the only blood
remedy free from mercury, potash and
other minerals which inttnsify the dis-
ease, causing stiffness of the joints and
aching of the bones.
not openly opposing Judge Hainer's
appointment, is in favor of the ap-
pointment of a man from Oklahoma
City. He argues, that there are plen-
ty of good men in the third judicial
district who are eminently qualified
for the bench, and in his opinion, the
department in its selection of judges
should adhere as nearly as possible to
the principle of home rule even in ter-
ritories.

nose, and made the people dump their
valuables into it. Mr. Wood says
when his torn came he brought his
money out and the outlaw knocked it
with his gun into the bag. He had
his watch in his vest pocket, with the
watch chain hanging out without be-
ing attached to the button hole. He
gave it a quick jerk and dropped it
inside his pants, his vest being open,
and so got it out of sight and saved it.
Mr. Wood says that while the report
is out that the outlaws did not enter
the big money safe, the general belief
of the passengers is that they did. No
one was allowed to go into the car,

Swift's Specific being a real blood rem-
edy never fails to cure Rheumatism. It
reaches even the worst cases where the
doctors have made cripples with their
prescriptions of potash and mercury.
Mr. J). R. Johnson, an extensive lum-
ber dealer of Blackshear, Ga., writes:
4 My wife was for years a sufferer from
Rheumatism, and was treated constant-
ly, but could obtain no relief. The pain
was first felt in her left shoulder, and
extended in all directions, increasing
in severity. The doctors said the dis-
ease was liable to strike 1 he heart at any
time, in which event death would be
inevitable.
"Every kind of treatment recommend-
ed for Rheumatism was given her,
including many blood remedies, but
none did hi r any good. She was grow-
ing worse all the while, and was reduced
to a mere shadow of her foimer self.
"It was at this critical period that
Swift's Specific was given her; the med-
icine seemed to reach the disease
promptly, and she at once began to im-
prove. One dozen bottles effected a
complete cure, and she has had 110 touch
of the disease since."
Evtry one afflicted with Rheumatism
should take a remedy which can reach
their trouble. S.S S. will cure the most
aggravated case of Rheumatism,Catarrh,
J Cancer, Contagious Blood Poison, Scrof-
I ula, Eczema, or any other blood disease.

out the poisonous disease germs
which clog the skin, liver or kidneys.
It is simply a question of purifying

which doctors declare "incurable."
