Richard Yates, the Re- publican candidate for governor • • of Illinois, has this to say to the ' * German-American, voters of Illi- £ nois: '"The Democrats are claiming J that they -will carry the state ' * this fall by appealing to just one «. class of our fellow-citizens, the • • German-Americans. They say the German-American citizen is going to vote the Democratic ticket this year in spite of Dem­ ocratic extravagance in the state in the past, and they are going to accomplish this by appealing to you to vote against the Repub- J lican party because of tfliat party's attitude In national af­ fairs. "Now. I want to say to you here today, regardless of your descent, that I do not care wliether a man is "born In Ger­ many or born in this country, I know that when he comes to this country and makes his ar­ rangements to live here he does not think of the country from which he came when he goes to the polls to vtfte. I know that there is in the state of Illinois no class of men more true, more loyal Americans than the Ger­ man-American citizens. Ger­ man-American citizens are in the first place economical men. They are men of thrift and know how to save. He knows the value of an honest dollar and will never vote to tiring about a dishonest dollar. He does not want to be paidlnaSO-eent dollar and is too honest to pay his debts with a 50-cent dollar. He is In favor of stability and solidity in money affairs, of a standard that does not Change, and for a dollar worth 100 cents the world over. "He Is in favor of stability in government, of a government that is a government in fact and not only in name. When they tell me that the German-Ameri- cans are going to vote against men because Mr. McICInley is trying to whip Aguinaldo into* subjection I think about thetime when eleven states said that Ab­ raham Lincoln was a tyrant and they would go out of the nation. "In that time, when the call came from the capital and Illi­ nois sent her 250,000 brave and lusty and loyal men to dare and die on glorious battlefields for you and for me for liberty and for union and for the eternal right in that dread hour, no citi­ zen of foreign birth did more to bring those eleven states back into the union, without tfheir con­ sent, than the German-American citizen. In every battle for the honor and glory of that flag, in all our wars, the German-Ameri­ can has given us his aid and his blood. Is he going back on us now?" | 'TTT Where to Locate ?

The report Of the comptroller of the currency for the last year, as com­ pared with that of 1898-99, shows that the people of Illinois have increased their deposits in these banks by near­ ly $14,000,000 in one year, and that the deposits in the savings banks of the whole country have increased more than $220,000,000. In this state there was an increase of more than 25 per cent, in the number of depositors in the savings banks and also in the amount of the deposits. In the coun­ try at larga there was an increase of 10 per cent, in the depositors, and the same increase in the amount of de­ posits in the savings banks. The fifty- four savings banks in Illinois report­ ed an Increase in depositors from 164,- 210 in 1899 to 208,992 in 1900, and an increase in amount of deposits from $50,898,665 in 1899 to $04,777,036 in 1900. This statement shows that there are 44,776 more men with deposits in sav­ ings banks in Illinois this year than there were last year, and that they have increased their savings deposits by $13,878,381. In the country at large there was an increase of 514,961 depos­ itors, and an increase of $220,197,336 In savings deposits. These official fig­ ures are regarded as a very substantial answer to the Democratic complaint that the prosperity of the laboring man is not genuine and material. Traveling Men Organise. Preeport commercial travelers have organized a McKinley Traveling Men's club, with a large membership, the officers being W. E. Boyington, presi­ dent; J. A. Clark, vice president; Charles 8. Serfass, secretary; A. C. Kennedy, treasurer, and II. B. Smith, captain. Freeport is the home of a large number of knights of the grip. They remember what a tough time they had of it during the last Democratic administration and are all shouting for McKinley, Roosevelt and Yates wher­ ever they go. Hollanders for McKinley, Mr. Henry Massman, president of the Cook County Holland Republican club, says: "We are meeting with gratifying success in forming Holland Republican clubs. I am safe in Say­ ing that 85 per cent, of the Holland vote will be cast, this year, for the Republican ticket, and when I allow the Democrats 16 per cent, of our vote, I am giving them every vote they will receive. Never before have our peo­ ple been so aroused and thoroughly In line for Republicanism as they now are." THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE. Bryan's Unusual Behavior a Study «n» Physicians. Mir. Bryan's unusual behavior to­ ward the party which nominated him Is an interesting psychological study to physicians. Mr. Bryan scorned to feel Instinctively that the issues for which he stamls could not survive dc- lil>erate consideration. So he added the arbitrary, coercive factor of a strong and dominant self-will. Such a d'!splay of imperial temper and fan­ atical determination is rather incon­ sistent with the role which he is play­ ing a» defender of the poor, the ignor­ ant and down-trodden. But fanatics always exhibit this nar­ row, self-contradictory, but iron and relentless policy. They see only one thing and are rigidly bent on that ex­ clusive of all else, and rej^mlless of results. Fanatics always believe them­ selves infallibly right. While they may not realize it, they esteem them­ selves as gods--infallible judges of right and wrong. Consequently, to cross their will is to cross the manifest will of God, and constitutes the on® unforgivable sin. Mr. Bryan has a touch of paranoia, as experts call it. lie is the supreme Boss and the most dangerous crank the country ever produced. His earn­ estness, sincerity and determination give him a delusive appearance of hon- esrty. which passes with the multitude, and the force of his will enables him to impress and hypnotize the suscepti­ ble and unstable, while it silences the clear-sight<§d but weak men of his party. ^ • Mr. Bryan's very crankiness at­ tracts the mentally diseased, men of dissatisfied and impractical turn of mind, who believe things can be bet­ tered by simply turning them upside down. Revolutionists, innovators, - crack-brained reformers and the like, will fvote for him. Also a great many intelligent men, under the influence of party prejudice and affiliation. But these will be fewer than evty- before. The force of regularity has lofet much of its power to blind men and govern them like machines. The paramount issue In the present campaign is 16 to 1. This is proved by Mr. Bryan's action in compelling his following at the Kansas City Popocrat- Ic convention to insert this financial vagary in the platform against their better sense. To claim that the silver fellacy is subordinate to the imperial­ ism issue is absurd. Did not Mr. Bry­ an journey to Washington to make his followers vote to ratify the treaty which purchased the Philippines? If actions speak louder than words, the plank about imperialism is mere bun­ combe; The extent of Mr. Bryan's nerve is shown in Ills calling himself a Demo­ crat. He has, in Ms nature, none of those qualities which go to make up a Democrat. It is an insult to the party of Jefferson, Tilden and Cleve­ land, for him to call himself by the name to which their lives and teach­ ings gave glorious meaning. Mr. Bry­ an is the most radical of anti-Demo­ crats. Truly, extremes meet. In office he would rule all those associated with him with rod of iron. The character of a man will find expression. An auto­ cratic, despotic nature, in a position of high authority, can subvert the freest of governments. Mr. William Jennings Bryan is such a man.--Medi­ cal Brief. itecrultft For Republicanism. In Iroquois county, which is strictly an agricultural region, the change from Bryamism to Republicanism is much greater than in the campaign of 1896. The recent price of 40 cents a bushel for corn has furnished food for thought to farmers who have all their lives been voting the Democratic tick­ et and asking no questions. The first prominent Democratic farmer to an­ nounce himself for McKinley and Roosevelt was Samuel Belcher. He was soon followed by Thomas Ward, Frank and Charles Levie, John Bush- mnn TV J, Wa-tkins, A! Meinhard and John Brooke, all large land owners. All voted for Bryan 1n 1896. While the above named are all outspoken, there are a score or more Democrats in and around Gilman who are known to have experienced a change of heart, but do not wish their names made pub­ lic, as they have always been identi­ fied with the Democratic organization and do not wish to call down upon their heads the ridicule of the Demo­ cratic politicians. The most radical of these former Democrats is Frank Le­ vie, who writes long denunciatory let­ ters of Bryan's 16-to-l platform every week to the local Republican paper, and devotes a great deal of his time to missionary work among his neigh­ bors. He dates his letters from "Prosperity Hollow" and signs him­ self a "Jeffersonian Democrat who la going to vote for McKinley." Forty cent corn is doing the business for the Democrats in the great corn belt Roosevelt in Illinois. Governor Roosevelt will reach Illi­ nois about the 1st of October from his western trip. He is to make a num­ ber of speeches in the state, one of which will be at Springfield, on Oct. 8. While he is at the capital he will be presented with a gold-mounted cane, made from a limb of the tree under which Abraham Lincoln stood while making his first public speech. Around the handle of the cane will be a heavy wide band of solid gold in­ scribed "Roosevelt." At the head of the cane will be imbedded a solid gold piece inscribed: "With malice toward none, and charity for all." The stick will be presented to Governor Roose­ velt by the Sangamon County Yates Phalanx clnb. Towns along the route over which Governor Roosevelt is to go will be notified as soon as the ex­ act time of his arrival In the etate is known. • Will Spend a Week In Cook. The last week of the campaign will be devoted to Cook county exclusively by Judge Richard Yates and the Re­ publican state candidates, which will necessitate a number of changes In the original itinerary. The itinerary for the closing week in Cook county will Include every district and ward in the city, speeches being made by Judge Yates and the county candidates In each stopping place. Tires of Democracy. W. J. Jordan, a fom.er franker of Fana and once elected mayor of that city on the Democratic ticket, has grown tired of the vacillating policy of the Democratic party and will vote tor jgr asperity this fall.

"I have found this out by my intercourse with salesmen. They come into the of­ fice, stand at the little counter, and when the proprietor is not in they en­ tertain me a weary while with ac­ counts of their business skill and mer­ ited success. Having nothing to do, I watch their mouths--their mouths that cannot be stationary. "Up to the age of 28, 1 have learned, a man's mouth closes and opens like a child's, and what teeth are displayed are the upper ones. At 30 the lower lip becomes loose, and the lower teeth are as much shown as the upper teeth. At 32 the tops or edges of the lower teeth are blunt, but they are still white. At 34 the upper teeth don't show at all. The lower ones' edges then are a pale brown. . "And so on, as the years go by, the lower lip droops more and more, the lower teeth become shorter, and their edges grow blunter, thicker and dark­ er. I have often wondered why It is that the lower teeth wear down in this way, while the upper ones don't do it, and why only the upper front teeth de­ cay."--Philadelphia Record. Thsrc 'Warn Sorrow Then, The colonel halted his horse In front of a Dakota dugout and uttered a vig­ orous "Hello!" and after a vninute a towheaded girl of about 16 years of age showed up and looked him over and said: "Now, then, what; ye whoopin fur and who be ye?" "Can I get anything to eat here?" "Not a thing." "Any water for my horseV "The spring's gone dry." "How far is It to the river?" "Dunno." "Please ask your father to step out" "Pop's bin on a drink for a week." "And your mother?" "She's got the toothache. That's her cryln." "Haven't you got a brother?" "Yep, but be got snake bit yesterday and don't feel well." "Well, what about you?" persisted the colonel. "You seem to be all right" "Oh, but I ain't," she replied as she made ready to disappear. "I was to git married yesterday, but my feller got shot by an Injun, and it'll take two weeks to ketch on to another.

A United States soldier was out riding a bicycle, and he was coasting dowiLhill, when he ran over a man. They promptly arrested him, and he was taken before a magistrate. We all went up from the transport to Bee how things went with him. The magis­ trate heard the case and fined him $5 for running over a blind man. " 'What!' said the soldier; 'was the man blind? Here, give him $20,' and he pulled out a $20 gold piece and band­ ed It over to the magistrate^ "And what do you think the/ did? They were so pleased that, they remit­ ted the whole fine, or would have done so. only the soldier would not take It back, but insisted on its being given to the blind man, and then they gave him a diploma setting forth what ha had done."--New York Tribune, STOVES!
