BRYAN REPLIES TO PAPERS. Deni' s Report of Ryan's Contrlbu tion-Vigorous Statement. Lincoln Nob., June 4.-In a state ment given to-night to the Asso ciated Press. William J. Bryan re plied to an article appearing a week ago in a New York newspaper charg ing that Mr. Bryan was t'ie beneflci ary of a campaign contribution made by Thomas F. Ryan. Mr. Bryan says: "I have just read the story charg ing that my brother-in-law, Mr. Al len, chairman of the Democratic State committee, had a confereuce with Mr. Sheehan in 1904 in regard to campaign funds; that Mr. Shee han, os? Mr. Ryan's attorney, secured from Mr. Ryan $20,000 for the Ne braska campaign; that Mr. Ryan made the contribution to secure my cpen and unqualified support of Jur'ge Parker; that to disguise the source of the contribution Mr. Ryan gave the check to Mr. Sheehan, and that Mr. Sheehan gave his checks to Mr. Allen. v "Chairman Allen and Mr.Dahlman, Nebraska member of the National Democratic Committee, have already denied the charges and stated that the only money received came from tho national committee, but I desire to add the following statement: "Mr. Allen say* that he never saw either Mr. Sheehan or Mr. Ryan, and I have no reason to doubt his word. If Mr. Ryan contributed to tho Ne 1 raska campaign it Was without my knowledge or consent. While I had but a remote personal Interest In the Nebraska campaign that year, I am Interested In Nebraska politics, and am also interested In national poli tics, and I am not willing to be in the slightest degree obligated to any favor-seeking corporation. If the newspaper In question will secure from either Mr. Sheehan or Mr. Ryan a statement, or prove In any other way that Mr. Ryan gave to Mr. Shee han, to any one else, or to the nation al committee, any sum whatever with the understanding that the sum was lo be used in the Nebraska campaign, I shall see that the amount is re turned to Mr. Ryan. "As to the charge that my sup port of Judge Parker was purchased. I need only say that I announced my support of Judge Parker immediate ly after the St. Louis Convention, and that support was open and un qualified from the convention until the polls closed. I had opposed his ..omlnatlon, but he had no more loyal supporter during the campaign. I was In correspondence with him, and both on the stump and with my pen rendered all the assistance 1 could. While the paper that points these charges was selling Its columns to the Republican committee to be Used in caricaturing Judge Parker, my pa per war urging his election." A man who ls In perfect health, so he can do an honest day's work when necessary, has much for which he should be thankful. L. C.

A hearer asked: "They rocked you, slr?" "Well-yes," replied the lecturer. "Resuming." he observed again, "An infant cannot flourish If fed on candy now and then Stich trash can never nourish. In later years we'll surely see The working cause ls ruthless, The child that eats the stuff will he A homely man, and toothless." One asked: "Did you eat candy, sir?v "Well-yes," replied the lecturer. "My friends," he now resumed his speech, "When children still are growing They should have books that only teach Good things they should he know ing. The fairy tales are Idle rot The standard should he higher; The child will be, as like as not, A cunning, crafty liar." Another asked: "You read them, sir?" "Well-yes," replied the lecturer. "Now, In conclusion," he declared, "A child should not be punished; From spankings lt may well he spared If lt ls well admonished. A child that's whipped for doing wrong Resents, but does not fear lt. And soon or late will have a strong And cruel, wicked spirit." A hearer asked: "They spanked you, slr?" "Well-yes," replied the lecturer. OA8TOXIXA. BMn th? J* N>8 Kind You Ham Always Bou^M MUST ?ELIKVE IT. When Well-Kuown Walhalla Peuple Tell it So Plainly.
