THURSDAY, ATJCTUST BRYAN Sales r HOPE OF NEBRASKA LOST Willi Three Farms in as Many States, ex-Secretary Prefers Cli mate of AshevIIle, but Will Have Fight on Hand. WASHINGTON". Aug. 1G. (Special.) William Jennings Bryan is to leave Nebraska finally after the elections this November. He is to move his home to Ashville, X. O. and re-enter politics in that state, with the hope of being elected later to the United States Sen ate. This report was brought to Washing ton today by a Nebraskan .who asserts personal knowledge of the plans of Mr. Bryan. It caused something of a flurry among North Carolina politicians here because they have no Senatorship to hand over to him without displacement of a favorite son of the state. Since his defeat last Spring for dele-gate-at-large to the Democratic Na tional convention. Mr: Bryan has been considering the advisability of quitting Nebraska for new fields. He realizes that his popularity in Nebraska is at an end, and has been since 1912. His state was pledged for Clark, and Bryan bolted. This caused his defeat for dele gate to the convention. He has farms in three states North Carolina, Texas and Florida. He has shown a preference for the North Caro lina climate. It is reported that there fore he is to move from his present home, Fairvlew, at Lincoln, Neb., and go to Ashville to take up a permanent residence. He will remain at Lincoln until after the election this Fall, as he has made speaking engagements in the Middle West for the campaign and he can fill them more readily with Lin coln as headquarters. The report that Mr. Bryan is to seek a Senatorship from North Carolina Is taken here to indicate definite abandonment of the Presidential hopes he -has entertained since 1S96. 8-CENT BANQUET ENJOYED Illinois Governor Shares Fare of ' Guardsmen on Border.

Aug. 16. (Spe cial.) Much indignation la being ex pressed in Winnipeg over reports tel egraphed to American and English papers that tho wheat crop of Mani toba is ruined. Edward Brown, pro vincial treasurer of Manitoba, says: 'The report is quite untrue. 1 have personally examined the crop in sev eral districts 'and have absolutely un biased information obtained through most reliable channels that the dam age to the wheat crop in Manitoba is pretty well confined to the southeVn part of the province and, with a good crop in many other districts. I do not look for the yield to be much below the average. From reports received I would expect the deficiency in Man itoba to' be more than made up in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Yield of other grains is reported excellent." William Elevator Company and for many years chief, grain inspector for the Dominion Government, said the re liable reports he had would indicate that the crop would run from 12 to 18 bushels an acre. He also expects the deficiency in Manitoba to be made up in Saskatche wan and Alberta. Edward James, of the Imperial Elevator and Lumber Company, expressed the opinion that the damage reports were quite unjust ified. He said his company, which has extensive lines of credit out to farmers, had not reduced its credit by a single dollar as it was of the opin ion that the crop in volume and fi nancial return would be a most satis factory one. S. J. Smith, of the Smith Murphy Company, formerly president of the Grain Growers' Exchange, 1 said his company, which Is largely, interested in the export business, is laying their plans to handle at least an average crop.

There were just two or three little pim ples on one side of her face at first but they kept spreading till they covered her whole face. They were quite large and red, and when I washed her a watery matter came from them and they' would bleed. They itched and burned so 1 had to tie gloves on her hands so she could not scratch, and she kept me awake a good deal nights. . "Then I saw Cuticura Soap and Oint ment advertised and I used about a half a box of the Cuticura Ointment, and one bar of Cuticura Soap and she was healed."
