The burglar leaped from a second story window and made good his escape. # Because she was unfortunate enough to be born on February 29, 1888, and therefore only four years bid if birthdays are taken into con sideration. Miss Ethel Lytle of New Yurk\ can’t marry, says her mother, until she has twenty birth day*. “So what am 1 going to do?” Miss Lytle asked. “1 confess to being twenty years of age, but moth er insists on saying 1 am but four, and while she knows I was bom twenty years ago, she can still prove I am-only four. With his leg broken in two'places, John Anderson,of Little Falls, Ore., was found on Mount St. Helena, in Oregon. Wednesday by a party of mountain climbers who, to save his life, carried nim to the summit of the mountain at imminent risk to themselve and in a inprovised stret cher made out of a sleeping bag, slid him down the north side of the great peak for 4,000 feet to camp, where medical attention was given him.

Praises Democratic Party in Speech of Acceptance-Extracts from His Speech. William .Jt*nnings Bryan was notified of his nomination as the democratic candidate for president yesterday’. In his speech of ac ceptance, among otln r tilings, he said: If the voters are satisfied with the record of the Republican party and 1 with its management of public affairs we can not reasonably ask j for a change in administration; if, however, the voters feed that the people, as a whole, have too little influence in shaping the policies of the government; if they feel that great combinations have encroached upon the rights of the masses, and 1 employed the instrumentalities of government to secure an unfair share ot the total wealth produced, then to have a right to expect a verdict against the Republican party and in favor of democrats; our party has risked defeat —aye, suffered defeat — in its effort to arouse the conscience of the public and to bring about that very awakening to which Mr. Taft lias referred. “Only those are worthy to be entrusted with leadership in a great cause who are willing to die for it, and the democratic party has proven its worthiness by its refusal to pur chase victory by delivering the people into the hands of those who have despoiled them. In this con test Iretween democracy one the side and plutocracy an the other, the Democratic party has taken its position on the side of equal rights, and invites the opposition of those who use polities to secure special privileges and governmental favorit ism. The Democratic party affirms that in this campaign it is the only party, having a prospect of success, which stands for justice in govern ment and for equity in the division of the fruits of industry. “We may • xpet those who have committed larceny by law and purchased immunity with their political influence, to attempt to raise false issues, and to employ ‘the livery of heaven' to conceal their evil purposes, hut they can no longer deceive. The Democratic p;‘rty does not seek to annihilate ail corporations; it simply asserts that a- the government creates corpora tions, it must retain the power to regulate and to control them, and that it should not permit any cor poration to convert itself into a monopoly. “The Democratic party-seeks not revolution but reformation- i have su<-h confidence in the intelligence as well as the patriotism of the people, that I can not doubt their readiness to accept tie- reasonable X'fonts which our party prop ses father than permit the continued growth of existing a,buses to hurry the country on to remedies more radical and more drastic. “The platform of our party closes with a brief statement of jthe party’s I irleiil- It favors such an admin istration of the government as will insure, as far as human wisdom can, . that each citizen shall draw from society a reward commensurate with hi- Contribution to the welfare of S' cifty. “(ioverments a'ro good in propor tion as they assure to each member of socbty, so far* as governments can, a return commensurate with in d ividual merit. “There is a Divine law of rewards. When the Creator gave us the earth, with its fruitful soil, the sunshine with its warmth and the rains with their moisture, lie proclaimed, as clearly as if His voice had thun dered from the clouds, ‘Go work, and according to your industry and your intelligence so shall 'be your reward.’ Only where might has overthrown, cunning undermined' or g: v'Miment suspended this law lias a different law prevailed. To conform the government to this law ought to be the ambition of the statesman; and no party can have a higher mission than to make it a reality wherever governments can legitimately operate. ‘‘Recognizing that I am indebted for my nomination to thg rank and file of our paijjy, and that my elec tion must come, if it comes at all, from the unpurchased and unpur chaseable suffe rages of the American people, 1 promise, if out rusted.with the responsibilties of this high office, to consecrate whatever ability 1 have to the one purpose of making this, in fact, a government in which the people rule —a govern ment which will do justice to all, and offer to every one the highest possible stimulus to great and per sistent efforts, by assuring to each the enjoyment of his just share of the proceeds of his toil, no matter in what part of the vineyard he la bors, or to what occupation, profes sion or calling lie devotes himself.” MEASURES PASSED AI THIS SESSION 0E EEGISIATURE.
