t Bryan un Weekly Papers. The principal address at the recent annual meeting of the Minnesota Press Association in St. Paul was not Dn th? program. William Jennings Bryan was in town, and, as he missed a train, had some time to spare, and w as prevailed upon to make a speech to the editors. He said in part: ''I want to say a word about the weekly newspaper; I want to make a suggestion. Our great daily papers are becoming more and more busiaess enterprises and less political factors. The trouble is, they are owned mainly by rich men, and as a rule, the men who have enough business sense to accumulate tne money rejuired to own one of them haven't enough editorial ability to guide the editorial department. Hence these papers are edited by 'hired men.' Such editors almost necessarily lack the conscience and personality of the country edttor. Therefore they also lack his influence. A country editor, known personally to his public, wields more influence through his thousand subscribers thaiTdoes a city editor, personally unknown, through Qis 100,000 subscribers. In proportion as we put character behind the editorial position we shall add influence to the weekly press. "The public musl. place an increasing reliance upon (he country papers for leadership in political affairs. Each party should strengthen its country press." ix Concrete Telegraph Poles. Concrete has been used to make fence posts for several years, and is now being employed experimentally in the production of telegraph poles. After a few years' service these may develop faults wnicn nave not oeen foreseen, but a tendency to rot will certainly not be one of them. The trial is being made on the Pennsylvania Railway near Maples, Ind., on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago division. A mile of track is equipped with the new poles, which are from twenty-five to thirty-four feet in length. They are eight inches square at the bottom and six irches square at the top, but the edges are chamfered, so that the poles seem to be octagonal in section. Half-inch wires, running lengthwise, reinforce the concrete. The poles were set last autumn, and seem to have stood the winter well. They rest in a foundation of pounded stone, and reach down four feet from the surface. It Is reported that several trolley companies in the West have considered the propriety of using similar poles to carry their wires. VT, 1 Side Lines For Farmers. A Chester, Mass., letter says that the witchhazel industry has been active. Farmers of that section supply a local mill with hundreds of tons of the brush, which grows fast and returns $2 to $3 a ton. Last * year's crop produced 990 barrels of extract. Another use for formbr waste is in distilling from blackbirch brush a substitute for oil ofv wintergreen. For this the mills pays $3.50 a ton, and last season used 1558 tons of brush, obtaining nearly 6000 lb. of oil, which sells to druggists and confectioners for $2 a pound. Aside from being a substitute for wintergreen, it is used in rheumatic medicines, birch beer, and as a flavoring for mineral water. The mill has material usually to keep it running till June. Another oil which is Deing developed is distilled irom the ferns which grow in abundance an the hills. The properties are similar to those of witchhazel, with a pleasanter odor. It is called Fernia. ?The Country Gentleman. Fertile England.

DOCTOR'S FOOD TALK. Selection of Food One of the Most Important Acts in Life. A Mass. doctor says: "Our health . and physical and mental happiness are so largely under our personal con trol that the proper selection of food should be and Is one of the most im, portant acts in life. "On this subject, I may say that I know of no food equal in digestibility and more powerful in point of nutriinent than the modern Grape-Nuts, four heaping teaspoons of which is sufficient for the cereal part of a meal, and experience demonstrates that the user is perfectly nourished from one meal to another. "I am convinced that the extensive and general use of high class foods of this character would increase the term of human life, add to the sum total of happiness and very considex-ably improve society in genial. I am free to mention the food, for I personally know of its value." Grape-Nut3 food can be used by babes in arms or adults. It is ready cooked, can be served instantly, either cold with cream, or with hot water or hot milk poured over. All sorts of puddings and fancy dishes can be made with Grape-Nuts. The food is concentrated and very economical, for four heaping teaspoons are sufficient for the cereal part of a meal. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellvilio," in pkgs.

THE WHISKY STUPEFIED HER Victim of the Fatal Buggy Ride Tells the Story to Save Her Father's Life, Who is on Trial For the Murder. Houston, Va.?Miss Elizabeth Loving, forced to the alternative of sacrificing her reputation or sending her father to the gallows, has made her choice. She went on the stand at the trial of her father, Judge William Tinvinc fnr tVio miir/lor r*f HTVion dore Estes, and swore that JCstes had assaulted her. Judge Loving killed Estes because she had told such a story. Since then it has been asserted that the story was false; that Estes did not treat her as she told her father he did; that she became intoxicated, and that to excuse herself she told the Judge the story which caused him to kill young Estes. There has been much speculation whether she would go on the stand and admit that Estes did not treat her dishonorably. That speculation she disposed of by her testimony. Only once in a recital lasting almost an hour did 'Miss Loving give way to her emotion. That waa when she told the jury of her confession to her father on the day following the ride. She broke down completely, sobbed convulsively, and for a time it looked as though she would not be able to go on, but with an effort controlled herself and continued her story, and later gained . courage enough to even fence with the Commnnwonlth'a nttnrnAV Her father was on the stand earlier in the day, being the first witness called when court met. His recital was dramatic. He to*ld of his love for his children, and after giving way to tears, he told the jury without a 3how of emotion that he ordered his buggy and took his shotgun to put to death the man who had mistreated his daughter. The Loving case is strangely similar to the Thaw case. But while >the defense is the "unwritten law"- combined with emotional insanity, the country doctors who were put on the stand did not talk of brainstorms or exaggerated ego, but in plain English said they believed that several attacks of delirium tremens through which Judge Loving had passed had 30 weakened his brain that for the time being he was insane. As inthe Thaw case, everything hinges in this trial on whether or not the jury believes that Elizabeth Loving told her father the story which he says she did, and which resulted in his killing poung Estes. The truth or raisity or the. story is not material, according to the defense. Wood Bouldin, the Commonwealth's attorney, a courtly, dignified Southerner, who, while asking Miss Loving the most embarrassing questions, was skilfully leading her away from her story, and apologizing for it, announced that he intended to prove by the witnesses of the defense that Miss Loving's story is absolutely false and that Theodore L. Estes was never guilty of an impropriety toward her. v HURLED FROM AUTO; KILLED. Benjamin F. Lord Dies From Heart Failure Occasioned by Fright. "D/v?+/v?

Ten of the Mountaineers Were Killed in the Pitched Battle and Women n??iv?>n UVahi TTama Asheville, N. C.?In a pitched battle at Piedmont, a wooded and rocky pass in the mountains ten miles from this city, a small army of revenue officers routed 200 moonshiners, who were encouraged in the battle by their wives and daughters. Ten of the moonshiners were killed and thirty were taken prisoners, with several women and a half dozen children. Four thousand gallons of whisky were seized. The revenue army was led by J. Will Roberts, who had been planning the raid for three months. He received information that the moonshiners had gathered for the wholesale running of "mountain dew," and that the mountaineers were in such force they were prepared to resist j the revenue officers. Roberts gathered men from a dozen points and led them for the mountain. The moonshiners were intrenched, expecting an attack from the front. But under cover of the darkness Roberts led his men by a circuitous route up lue muuiudiu uuui ut? was auuve uue mountaineers. At dawn he sent a man under cover of a white flag demanding surrender, but the moonshiners, with derisive cheers, fired a volley over the head of the messenger. The battle at once opened, and from the first went against the moonshiners. They were bewildered at the heavy fire directed against them, believing that they had not more than a small squad of revenue men to deal with. At the sound of the firing women and children came flocking from cabins all over the mountainside, and the women were insistent that the position be held. It became untenable after an hour's hard fighting, and the main body of the mountaineers, comprising 100 men, succeeded in a quick retreat. The prisoners taken were isolated in an advanced post. Five of the revenue officers were wounded, but none was killed. In all fifteen wounded men were brought to this city and are now in the hospital. INHERITS FORTUNE, DROWNS.

J.?President Woodrow Wilson has Just instituted a most radical and complete reorganization of social life at Princeton University ?one that marks a departure from the other big universities and which will be studied with deep Interest as to its working out. In brief, It aims to absorb the various college clubs.Into what are termed "Residential Quads," where there shall be good fellowship and closer intimacy between faculty, upper class men and "freshies." The system will establish a real democracy, with each "Quad" occupying dormitories, dining rooms and rooms for social enjoyment in common. Instead of the rivalry and bitter feeling engendered by club elections and rejections, there will be unity and a desire for the common eood?true loyalty to the university." | President Wilson in one phrase summarizes the plan: "To associate the four classes in a generally or-1 ganic manner and make of the university a real social body, to the exclusion of cliques and separate class I social organizations to give to the i university the kind of common consciousness which apparently comes from the closer sort of social contact, to be had only outside the classroom, and most easily to be got about a common table, and in the contacts of a common life." The Board of Trustees of the university have adopted the main parts | embodied in the plan and it will probably be put into effect shortly. | COLLEGE SWEETHEART: Or.

Stanley Hall, professor of psychology in and president of Clark University, Worcester, Mass., has set out to find the solution. To this end he has taken a census of young lovers, with a view to learning what ia each case has most endeared to him or her the particular object of their affection. It was Dr. Hall who recently declared fifty .per cent, of college women failed to marry, thus contributing to race suicide. The complete result of this census of lovers Dr. Hall has not yet given to the public, but he has made known an abstract of what he has learned. With hundreds of lovers heard from Dr..

Club life, as it exists to-day at the university, is demoralizing, says President Wilson, "not because there is in the clubs any cynical indifference to study, but because the social activities into which their members are natural!? and inevitably drawn are very many and very delightful and very engrossing, and study has to take its chance in competition with them. "These influences," he continued, "are splitting classes into factions and endangering that class spirit upon which we depend for our selfgovernment and for the transmission of most of the loyal impulses of the university. Tho 'polities' of candidacy for membership in the upper class club not only produce a constant and very demoralizing distraction from university duties in freshman and sophomore years, and inforce all 3orts of questionable customs, but they cut deeper even than that. "Group rivalries break the solidarity of the classes. The younger classes are at no point made conscious of the interests of the university; their whole thought is cpncentrated upon individual ambitions, upon means of preference, upon combinations to obtain selfish individual ends. They strive against this when they become juniors and seniors, but they do not strive against it successfully, and when they are freshmen and sophomores they do not strive against it at all. "The present system of our life is artificial and unwholesome."
