DELIVER FAMOUS LECTURE
The Nebraskan Put In Two Strenuous Days In this Part Of
The State and Thousands Traveled Ten to Twenty
Miles to Hear the Prince of Living Orators.
PASSED THROUGH REYNOLDSVILLE AND SPOKE
The visit of William Jennings Bryan
tothlapartof the state Thursday and
Friday overshadowed all other events
in popular Interest. Republicans and
Democrats vied In paying homage to
the great Commoner who for the time
was neither statesman nor politician,
'but a man honored above men for the
strength and purity of his character.
At the receptions given him in Punx
utawney, ClearSeld, Brookvllle and
uBols, thousands crowded to grasp
his hand and see face to face the man
DIB nao
greater In defeat than most men
lorlous. At each place the theatres
Vklh Tli-uan annlra were filled to
wu.wu ' J I
Vowing and In some Instances seats
It a premium of five times their
nal price after the board had been
out. Bryan is nothing II not ooug-
ing and regardless ol weariness or per
sonal Inclination consents to meet the
people In a public reception after every
lecture. To fill his numerous lecture
dates the Nebraakan baa to keep on the
move in little less strenuouB fashion
than In campaign days. Thursday ev
ening he lectured at Punxsutawney and
after a hand-shaking reception left for
DuBois, where he rested a few hours.
In the morning he went on to Clear
field and delivered a lecture at ten
o'clock to a large audience. At noon
he started for Brookvllle, spoke in the
Belvedere opera house at 2 30 and
Again took the train for DuBols. At
-the latter point he was eutertained at
the DuBois mansion, which had been
elaborately decorated for the occasion.
At 8.30 he spoke in the Avenue Thea
tre to a packed house. After the ad
dress Bryan -was the central figure at a
reception given by the Y. M. C. A. A
lunoh at the home of W. C. Pentz was
followed by another reception under
ithe auspices of the Acorn Club, and it
was far past midnight before the dis
tinguished guest secured a moment's
rest. At 120 he left on the B., R. &
J?, flyer for Buffalo, where he lectured
-Saturday night.
When passing through Reynoldsvllle
at 1.29, and again at 6.08, Bryan oon
eented to appear on the rear platform
-of the passenger ooaoh and speak a few
words to the people. On both occasions
large crowd gathered to oatoh a
glimpse of him. Reynoldsvllle was rep
resented In the audiences at Punxeu
tawney, Brookvllle and DuBois, large
-delegations going to the two cities first
named.
At each of these places the Commoner
-delivered his noted lecture, "The Prince
-of Peace." Viewed from a moral stand
point it is a masterpleoe. Delivered in
a" natural, conversational tone, the
speaker made no attempt at perfervld
-oratory or to excite the audience by ap
peals to passion or prejudloe. Gifted
with a voice of superb carrying power,
with enunciation as distinct as It is pos
sible to have, Bryan can sately dispense
with the usual gestures and oratorical
flights to Interest his auditors. With
-a subject that comes close to the heart
of every person, a discourse logically
arranged, with the simplicity of a clas
sic, and with his own masterful person
ality back of all, he commands the at
tention of the audience as closely as
though through a hypnotic spell. But
after all, it was the man Bryan that
the people traveled thirty miles to see
and bear. It was the man and hie per
sonality, that the people were studying
during the hour and a half he was upon
the platform. His message was neither
new nor wonderful; it was, if anything,
-a plea for the repudiation of most new

Every Accommodation Consistent with Careful Banking
theories In religion and a return to the
simple faith of our fathers. It was in
teresting mainly as the personal opin
ion of one of the world's most eminent
men. Bryan is impressive. There is a
subtle charm and magnetism about his
person that engages the affection and
Interest of all who meet or listen to
him, whether agreeing with hlB theor
lea or not. In the domain of morals
Bryan is supreme and no one will ques
tion the sentiment expressed In "The
Prince of Peace." When he so lightly
sweeps away certain scientific theories
concerning the origin of life and the
world, however, some might be inclined
to ask whether it Is exactly fair or
reasonable to ridicule the work of
scientists who in their chosen fields of
investigation are greater far than he.
But whether right or wrong, the man
Bryan is Intensely Interesting and his
stand on matters religious one which
will appeal to the bulk of the people.
In explaining bis preference for this
speech, which Is purely moral and re
ligious, Bryan stated that he was in
the church before he was in politics
and would still be active In religion
after he bad ceased to interest himself
in statecraft.
Punxsutawncy Gets
New Industry Habit
Is Now Trying to Land a Big
Silk Mill By Subscribing
$35,000 Stock.
The Chamber of Commerce at Punx
sutawney is now engaged in an effort
to land a big silk mill for their city.
The United Textile Corporation of
Allentown, which already operates five
mllU, has made a proposition to erect a
mill at Punxsutawney If the citizen
will subscribe for 135,000 worth of
Btock, the company holding the re
maining 1115,000 of capital stock. The
mill proposed will be capable of em
ploying from 250 to 400 hands and would
have a payroll of about 130,000 per year.
ftThls is the fourth stock-taking In
dustrial proposision whioh Punxsu
tawney has taken up within the past
year and her citizens seem deeply
Interested in building up their olty.
Clearfield Starts
A Moral Crusade
Serious Charges Made Against
Twenty-Seven Young Men
And Girls.
A moral crusade is in progress at
Clearfield and up-to-date twenty-seven
young girls and boys have been placed
under arrest on serious charges, mostly
of an immoral nature. Five of the
girls were sent to the House of Refuge
in Philadelphia. Six of the young men
were fined heavily and on failure to
pay were returned to jail. One of the
older men got a sentence of three years
In the "pen", and a fine of $300. It is
hoped by these measures to stop a wave
of Immorality that swept over certain
sections of C'earfield within the past
few months. ,

Local Parcels Post
Latest Proposition
Would Not Aid Large City
Mail Order Houses; Would
Be Boon to Farmers.
The parcels post hill now before Con
gress does not contemplate a general
postal express. It embraces only the
particular route on which the person
to be served Is local. For Instance, a
patron on a rural route out of Milton
would receive the' benefit of low postal
rates on packages sent by local mer
chants only. It would be a local postal
express. It could do no possible In
jury to a Milton merchant because be
alone would be permitted to use the
routes out of Milton for parcels post
purposes. Packages not mailed here
and addressed to a patron of a rural
route out of Milton could uot be ac
cepted. To make the parcels post
general, it is easy to Bee, would greatly
stimulate the business of the big mail
order houses in the large cities, and
would injure local raorchants pro
portionately. Milton Standard.
For a ocal parcels post every man
In the union can say a hearty amen. It
would be a boon to bith farmer and
merchant and In connection with the
rural free delivery and extension of
telephone service, practically bring the
rural home all the advantages of city
life.

APPLIES TO WEEKLIES.
Publishers Must Print Names of Owners
and Editors In Newspapers.
Harrisburg, Pa., Maroh 9. In an
opinion by the superior court Justice
Morrison holds that the act of 1907,
requiring publication of tbe names of
owners, lOffioers and managing editors
at tops of editorial columns applies to
weekly as well as dally newspapers.
The case Is that of the common
wealth against John F. Short, editor of
the Clearfield Republican. Mr. Short
was convicted of not obeying the law
but discharged by the oourt for the
reason that the act does not apply to
weekly newspapers, and that Mr. Short
in printing his own name compiled.
Tbe justice reversed the position of
the Clearfield county court and orders
Mr. Short to appear for sontenoe. It
is also held that If the paper Is pub
lished by a partnership or if by a
limited partnership it must give
names of such partners and officers, and
if a corporation the names of the offi
cers as well as of the editor must be
given.
Night on Bald Mountain.
On a lonely night Alex Benton of
Fort Edward, N. Y., climbed Bald
mountain to the home of a neighbor,
tortured by asthma, bent on curing him
with Dr. King's New Discovery, that
bad cured , himsolf of asthma. This
wonderful medicine soon relieved and
quickly cured his neighbor. Later it
cured his son's wife of a severe lung
trouble. Millions believe its the great
est throat and lung cure on earth.
Coughs, colds, croup, hemorrhages and
sore lungs are surely cured by it. Best
for bay fever, grip and whooping-cough.
