BRYAN DAY IN OMAHA
(Continued from page 1)
nearly two hours preached Democra
tic doctrines to a willing congrega
tion .
Mr. Bryan entitled his speech "A
Word of Encouragement," and deyot
cd his remarks to the producing of
evidence to show the growth of
Democratic policies - and principles
and the basis for Democratic hope.
He spoke in part as follows:
"Our trouble used to be to persuade
the Republicans to accept Democratic
policies; our work now is to expose
the imitation by them of Democratic
ideas and to point out wherein they
come short in their effort to appro
priate Democratic doctrines. Take
for instance the trust question. We
had difficulty 'convincing the Repub
Ecans that there were trusts. Now
they admit trusts exist We had dif
ficulty convincing them that criminal
law should be enforced against trusts;
now they admit it should be enforced
but fail to enforce it Insofar as they
have acted against the trusts at all
they have acted along the lines laid
down by the Democrats, but the
trust magnates are still at large, the
let It has made no effort to stop
gambling the fruitful cause of pan
ics; it has made no effort to furnish
government notes for an emergency,
and it has made no effort to protect
depositors;
"The Democrats face the future
Cave grown in popularity as the have
with hope and their hope rests on a
firm foundation. Democratic policies
have grown in popularity as the vot
ers have become better acquainted
with the evils to be remedied.
"Another reason for hope is to be
found in the fact that the Democratic
party is united while the Republican
party is divided. Third cause for
hope is to be found in the moral
awakening. Never within a genera
tion has there been such a stirring
conscience and the sense of justice in
herent in the people has been made
sensitive to the domestic appeal which
is essentially an appeal for justice.
POPULISTS FOR BRYAN.
OMAHA, March S.-The Populist
state convention here today decided

EASTER BONNETS ARRIVE.
NEW YORK, Mar. 5. New York
yesterday received its first consign
ments of this year's Easter bonnets.
They came on the liner Oceanic and
more than 100 customs inspectors
double the number that have beeiuat
docks during the winter season were
present when the steamer came along
side the pier. A large number of
New York milliners who have been
in Paris for some weeks, returned on
the Ocanic, accompanying the bon
nets. Inspection of the lot of fine
millinery was an impressing sight as
more than fifty large trunks contain
ing Paris hats and bonnets were sent
to the appraisers stores where a
special examination wijl be made.
LIFE-SAPPING PARASITES
WRECK HUMAN SYSTEM
The following remarkable
Bient was recently made by L. T.
Cooper. It concerns the preparation
which has been so widely discussed
throughout the country during the
past year, and has sold in such enor
mous quantities in leading cities:
"It is now a well-known fact that
wherever I have introduced my New
Discovery medicine, hundreds of peo
ple have brought internal parasites,
or tapeworms, to me. In many cases
these people did not know the nature
of the parasite, and were consequent
ly extremely nervous until I explain
ed the matter to them In some cities
to many have had this experience
that the public generally became
alarmed.
"I take this opportunity of ex
plaining what these creatures are, and
what I have learned about them in
the past.
.. "Tapeworms are much more com
mon than would be supposed. 'I ven
ture to say that 10 per cent of all
chronic stomach trouble, or what is
knowji as a 'rundown' condition, is
caused by them. An individual may
suffer for years with one of these
state-! great parasites and not be aware of it
"Contrary to general belief, the ap
petite is not greatly increased it only
becomes irregular. There is a gen
eral feeling of faintness, however, and
a gnawing sensation in the pit of the
stomach.
"People afflicted with one of these
parasites are nervous and depressed.
Their chief sensation is one of lan
guor, and they tire very easily. Lack
of energy and ambition affect the
body, and the thind becomes dull and
sluggish. The memory becomes not
so good, and the eyesight is generally
poorer.
"The New Discovery, in freeing
stomach and bowels of all impurities,
seems to be fatal, to these great
worms, and almost immediately ex
pels them from the system. I wish
to assure anybody who has the ex
perience just related with my prepa
ration, that there is no cause for alarm
in the matter, and that it will as a
rule mean a soeedy restoration to
good health."
The Cooper medicines are a boon
to stomach sufferers. We sell them.

LATEST m SUITKIGS
Having returned from San Francisco with a splendid stock of spring
and summer suitings of the latest style and having spent several weeks
in studying the fashions prevalent in that city, we are now more than
ever in a position to give thorough satisfaction to the most fastidious
dresser NOT IN WORDS, BUT IN DEEDS.

(Coattnucd from page 1)
of these led to the door in front, the
other to the door in the rear. It was
in this last place that the lives of
the little ones were lost while would
be rescuers stood helpless. The
scenes that were enacted in the front
hall will never be known. The door
at this side of the building was never
fully opened. But a pile of little
bodies that lay in the blackened
wreckage beneath this point, the feet,
hands, the limbs and the skulls that
were scattered about formed a com
plete index to the horrors that had
taken place. When the teachers were
informed of the existence of the tire
they promptly formed the pupils in
columns of march, according to the
fire drill, which they had so fre
quently practiced and started them
for the door. They had trained the
children to march always toward the
door in front and instanctively the
columns headed that . way and the
children unknowingly were by their
teachers hterally marched into the
very face of death. When knowing
nothing of the fire on the stairs be
low, kept pressing down and within
a few seconds there was a jam,
panic and struggle on the stairway
and behind the half closed front door
that nothing stop and which cost the
lives of all who were caught with
in it
A far worse tragedy, however, was
enacted at the door in the rear. This,
it is said by many people, opened like
the front door, toward the interior of
the building. In order to reach this
entrance the pupils were compelled to
march down a stairway, make a sharp
turn and then pass through the door
way. It was the lack of space in the
hall and the quick bond at the foot ot
the stairs that cost so miny lives at
this point When the first of the chil
dren fleeing from the front appeared
at the door it was closed. Later it
was opened, despite the terrifying jam
that took place behind, it. This would
indicate that the door opened out-
! ward, but the assertions to the con
trary are many and positive and it
will probably require an official in
vestigation to dctemine the facts.
Fleeing from a fire in front, the
children, tumbling down the stairs in
a frenzy of terror, blocked the pas
sage. The stairs themselves were
broad, affording passage to more chil
dren in a second than could pass
through the hallway and through the
narrow vestibule of the door in ten
second. At the bottom of the stairs,
right on the turn, somebody tripped
and fell.
In another instant others were
down and in less time than it can be
told the doorway, the hall and the
foot of the stairs were packed with
little bodies. They were wedged so
tightly that of those anywhere below
the top of the mass none could be
moved by the utmost strength of two
men combined. This was proven again
and again, for the rescuers struggled
and fought until their own hands were
scorched almost to cinders and still
they could move no children from
RECIPE FOR COLDS.
Mix half pint of good wills-
key with two ounces of glyc-
erine and add one-half ounce
Concentrated oil of pine. The
bottle is to be well shaken
each time and used in doses of
a teaspoonful to a tablespoon-
ful every four hours. The
Concentrated oil of piuc comes
in one-half ounce vials packed
securely in tin screw top cases
which are intended to protect
it from light and retain all
the oriuinal oxone. Don't use
bulk oil of pine or imitations
of Concentrated. They are in-
soluble and work havoc to the
kidneys. Any druggist has the
Concentrated oil of pine. It
will also be found a most ex-
cellettt remedy for lumbago
and all forms of uric acid
rheumatism. ( For this purpose
it is taken raw, a few drops
on sugar at night and morn-
ing.
Concentrated oil of pine is
the result of many years' ex-
perimenting by one of Phila-
delphia's foremost doctors
who after endless research at
last secured a truly soluble
oil of pine, so make sure to
get the' real thing. It also
makes an excellent salve to be
applied externally on the chest
or bruised parts. For this
purpose a teaspoonful of the
raw oil added to a saucerful
of hot lard.
M. MADELIN GOES HOME.
NEW YORK, Mar. S.-Louis Mad
elin, the French scholar and author,
president of the Society of Historical
Research, will sail for home to-day
on the Steamer Savois after a five
months tour of America extending
from Boston to San Francisco, as the
official representative and lecturer of
the Allicnce Francais. Speaking of
his impressions of America, M.
Madclin says:
"The west gives the foreigner the
best opportunity to see America in
its true state of devclopement grow-
, &
ing almost unuer onesa eye. san
Francisco is a striking picture of nat
ural beauty and of ruin. There is
occasional talk of war there ami it is
taken more seriously than in Wash
ington, where I noted that the best
informed quarters were most optical
to the possibility of war. The dis
patch of the American squadron to
the Pacific was undoubtedly an ex
cellent measure. Port Arthurs ex
perience showed the advisability of
taking precautions. San Francisco
is preparing for a magnificent recep
tion for the fleet. The yellow popu
lation of San Francisco is seen to
exist m the utmost tranquility anu
there is no apparent idea of renewed
outbreak against them."
. Unequalled as a Cure for Croup.
"Besides being an excellent remedy
for colds and throat troubles, Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is unequalled
as a cure for croup," says Harry
Wilson of Waynetown, Ind. When
given as soon as the croupy cough
appears, this remedy will prevent the
attack. It is used successfully in
manv thousands of homes. For sale

oeyond a lew tnat tncy removed irom ,
the top before the flames came roar
ing down. One man, Wallace Upton,
fought for the life of his daughter at
this point until he was so fearfully
burned that he may die.
The coroner's inquest was begun
this morning when a number of wit
nesses were examined without devel
oping any testimony that was beyond
mere opinion. The investigation held
by the Collingswood school board
which lasted far into the night
brought these facts: One of the doors
at the west entrance was locked. The
partitions narrowed the exits by at
least three feet. The flames came
from a closet containing lime and
sawdust. Three little girls had been
found hiding in the closet earlier in
the morning. There was but one fire
escape and its use had never , been
taught to the pupils.
The survivors among the teachers
estimate that only two or three min
utes passed between the time the
alarm was given until all escape was
shut off. The buildintr was a fair
sample of the kind of school construe
tion used in small towns. The hall
and stairways were closed between
the interior brick walls forming a
huge flue through which the flames
shot up with great rapidity. The
much mooted question as to whether
the doors opened inward or outward
was decided by the fire marshals to
day who after examination stated
that they opened outward. They were
unable to determine whether they
were locked or not, and the testimony
on this point varies radically.
