Sober an 1 conservative residents are
beginning to think that burled treas
ure may be found on almost any old
street in the city or at least tales of
burled treasure, says the Salem States
man. Several weeks ago the attempt of
some unknown character to unearth
burled treasure in a lady's flower bed
near the river bank, below the big
steel bridge, recalled to the minds of
the old settlers recollections of a half
forgotten tale to the effect that de
cades ago when the town was yet In
Its Infancy, valuables amounting to
thousands of dollars had supposedly
been burled ln the vicinity of the
flower bed by a notorious outlaw
The excavations which are being
made for the D'Arcy building on Lib
erty street have brought from the
misty past another story of long lost
riches; this time the excitement being
created among the Chinese residents
of the town. The workmen who are
being employed on the excavation
were surprised the other day on re
turning to their work to find a group
of excited Chinamen busily engaged
In digging and burrowing on the lot,
hunting undoubtedly for something of
great value.
Heap muchee money! Heap
muchee gold burled long time ago!"
and such expressions were all that
could be gotten from them. How and
when this gold could have been lost
and why was a mystery.
After the arrival of the workmen
the Chinamen one by one gave up the
search and left the grounds.

Lincoln, Xeb., July 1 It was a
sweltering July night ln Chicago ln
1896. Delegates, spectators and
newspaper men were petulant and ex
hausted. The silver men were In con
trol of the convention, but the gold
men were putting up a fight. Every
thing seemed to indicate that "Sliver
Dick" Bland would be the democratic
party's nominee for tjie presidency.
The noise of the hall was so great
that It was hard for even trained
newspaper men to keep track of what
was going on.
In the midst of the confusion a
young, smooth-faced delegate from
the west stepped to the platform to
mak u few remarks. One of the
newspaper men turned to a veteran
Washington correspondent and in
quired: "Who the hell is that?"
"Oh, he's a dub congressman from
Nebraska," was the weary reply. "I
wish they'd choke him off and let us
go home."
A half an hour later these two men,
as well as some 10,000 others, were
cheering themselves hoarse over the
greatest speech ever delivered in a
democratic convention.
From OI-urlty to Leadership.
Within the space of 30 minute
William Jennings Bryan had leaped
from comparative obscurity to the
leadership of his party. He could
have had the nomination tha.t night,
but he declared that If his boom wa,
not strong enough to live 24 hours, it
would better die, so the nomination
went over till the next day.
Sitting down ln the front of the
hall was democracy's old time chlef
tia. David B. Hill, with part of the
N'ew York delegation. His friends had
Importuned him to leave, but he
leaned back In his chair with a scorn
ful smile on his face and watched and
listened. As the Nebraska orator
reached his eloquent climax and ut
tered the phrase that became so trite
In the campaign that followed: "You
shall not press down upon the brow
of labor this crown of thorns; you
shall not crucify mankind upon u
cross of gold" and even before that
evor-to-be-remembered parade of
standards about the hall. Hill turned
to one of his friends and said, "That
ends Bland's and every other boom ln
the convention."
Bryan lived a fairly successful or
dinary American life prior to that
convention. He had been a power In
Illinois In the small communities In
which he lived, and had removed to
Nebraska because he believed the op
portunities were greater there. As a
member of congress he had not shown
particularly blight, true, he was pop
ular among the western members, and
some of his friends yet relate with
cloe, how, when a democratic leader
wanted to end a debate In the house
he sidled over to the republican
"whip" and whispered, "If you don't
call this wind Jamming off, I'll set
that Nebraska cyclone loose and he'll
talk for a week." .Those who tell the
story always wind it up with the re
mark, "and there was a quick vote
on that bill."
An Authority on Eoonnmics.
He was recognized as an authority
on questions of political economy In
the early 90's and his editorials on the
coinage question had widespread pop
ularity which was added to when he
was named, but beaten, for the sena
totshlp of his adopted state.
Bryan's campaign of 18D6 was spec
tacular. He was the first candidate
for the presidency to tour 18,000 miles
to advocate his own election. He In
vaded the "enemy's country" twice
that fall. In Madison Square Garden
he defied Tammany Hall and Its
leaders. With his voice so husky that
it could hardly bo heard he dominat
ed the meetings with his personality,
and It Is now generally admitted that
had the election been held In Sep
tember he would have been elected.
Beaten nt the po'lls he devoted tho
next two years to lecturing on bimet
allism.. In May, 1898, with the Spanish-American
war In progress, he
raised the third Nebraska regiment!
of volunteers and was commissioned
its colonel.
Two years later, In 1900, he domi
nated the next national democratic
convention, wrote Its platform nnd
forced his own nomination. Ho It wus
who made Imperialism the "burning
Issue," and he toured the country In
behalf of this fresh child of his brain
only to be again defeated.
Steady Advance.
There had been a steady advance
in the man's development. Maturer
years had given Importance In his
mind to things he formerly deemed
less essential, and he was also real
izing that changed conditions In pub
lic affairs demanded new methods f
treatment. As a result there was
born The Commoner. It proved th&
foundation for Bryan's present for
tune, boosting his yearly Income from
15000 to approximately $70,000.
Up to the assembling of the lf04
convention It had been expected Bry
an would fight the eastern element In
the party and again force his own
nomination. But he did nothing of
the sort. His enemies within the
ranks now declare he was afiaid to
run against Roosevelt, but no matter
what the reason, he devoted his on
ergles to seeing that the pl.itform of
the party was not obnoxious to him
self and his friends, and then permit
ted the nomination of Alton B. Par
ker. Accusations of treachery In this
campaign are repelted by the Bryan
followers, who declare that the Ne
braskan supported the ticket loyally.
Bryan's Supremacy.
Parker's defeat emphasized Bryan's
supremacy In the party, and when
he left In 1801 for his tour of the
world, he was everywhere acclaimed
as democracy's leader. At Toklo, Ma
nila, Bombay, Cairo, Jerusalem, St.
Petersburg and in England, he was en
thusiastically greeted and he return
ed home to be met more as a "con
quering hero" than as a man who had
twice been defeated at the iolls. Ta
ken off a steamer at quarantine, he
was escorted by marching clubs and
mounted police through the streets of
New York, lined with cheering thou
sands. In his initial speech after his re
turn he hinted at the poslblllty of a
new creed for democracy govern
mental ownership and was at once
attacked by many of the big men ln j
his party, including such as Senator i
Daniel of Virginia. Steadily main-1
talnlng his own views In the face of
opposition, he said he was willing to
leave the matter to the people for'
their consideration.
Since his return Bryan has devoted
most of his energies to lecturing
throughout the country. This Is a
typical Bryan day: Up at 7 a. m.
from a long railway ride, greets a re
ception committee, eats breakfast,
makes a speech to a student body at
9:30, meets a party central commit
tee at 10, at 10:15 addresses a- big
audience ln a church or town hall,
follows this with a talk to an over
flow meeting, has lunch at 1 p. m.,
then away on a train for a 100 mile
Jump with a half dozen speeches en
route; speaks at 3:30 In the open air
to a crowd of several thousand, make.!
another railroad Jump of SO miles,
has dinner, is given a public recep
tion, talks to reporters, delivers a
church address, and at mldnlgh'. Is off
again by rail.
A Different Brynn.
The Bryan of today Is a much moo
serious man than that oi 12 yeurs
ago. He has devclopel and broad
ened out, but he never admits he was
wrong then. "Time has proven we
were right," Is the way he puts It
when asked why he abandoned frte
silver, imperialism, revision of the
tariff and other factors of the politi
cal equation, and he j quick to re
sent the charge thit the one aim ln
his life is to be a "perpetual candi
date." He Insists that he has dem
onstrated that a man can bicme In
fluential In politics without departing
from high moral standards, without
power to reward, money to buy In
fluence, or patronage to dispose.
In one particular it would seem the
Bryan of today differs more than In
any other from the Bryan of 1S96.
He is willing to. compromise. Years
ago he would not bend. It was then
"my will" or nothing. Now he lis
tens to others and sometimes admits
they know more about the subject
matter than he himself docs.
Bryan himself best explains he
change In his make-up. In discuss
ing public matters not long ago, ho
said: "When I started out In poll
tics, I used to think that all good was
condensed In my own party, and all
evil in the other; but as I have be
come better acquainted, I have found
so many bad democrats and m many
good republicans that I have become
more charitable."
