CHEERFUL IN HIS
HOUR OF]DEFEAT
Mr Bryan Finds Consolation
in Nebraska Victory *
and Others
LINCOLN. Neb.. Nov. 4.—While not
caring to discuss at this time the politi
cal effect of thq democratic victory In his
home state or analyse the causes, 'Wra.
J. Bryan this afternoon In an U.formal
talk to a number of friends who called
on him, expressed hla pleasure at the re
sult In Nebraska and the satisfaction it
afforded him to learn of the election of so
many of his political and personal
friends.
A delegation numbering nearly a hun
dred from Lincoln visited Mr. Bryan at
• Fairview to express to him their confi
dence and devotion and to assure him
that such was the sentiment of a majori
ty of the people of his city and state.
Mr. Bryan in responding said:
"I am highly gratified over the results
In this state. The national defeat has
not been such a disappointment when we
have had so many things to console ua
I hope I have convinced my friends that
running for office has only been an In-
cldent-to my work. My heart has never
been set on holding office, hut I wanted
to do certain works and It looked as
though the presidency might offer the
opportunity to do that work. I am sure
that In private life I can have the chance
to dp something. One Is not required to
hold office In order to do big things; one
le simply required to do those things
within his reach, nnd that much Is with
in the reach of each of us.
■ “Personally. I shall nnd as much Joy
being out of office. If the returns show I
must be. os I would lx in office. I hope
ctlll to be of Influence to bring about
needed reforms. I appreciate very much,
the confidence and loyalty of the people
near us. it has been the greatest com
fort that the election has given us. The
fact that those among whom we live
have shown this conlldence we appre
ciate more than I con tell you. It has
been very kind In you to come out here
and visit us on this day."
The defeat he sustained yesterday did
nm. weigh heavily on Mr. Bryan. He
was one of the most cheerful of thoss at
his home and laughed and Joked good
naturedly* with hts visitors. Tonight Mr.
Bryan was the guest of honor at the
banquet of the State Teachers* Associa
tion. where he made a short address. He
has no other Immediate plans than to
rest at his honfe. following his canvass.

Parties of sutomobllists from all over
the, state are booking sleeping car reser
vations for their accommodation to the
big automobile meet to be held In Sa

Mr. Jno. W. Blount, of the Central

Is expected that a large number of auto*
moblflsts will gather In Maoon.
Dr. Finn’s Testimony Interesting.
Dr. Thomas Finn, oft Boonsboro,
Mo., who .hits practiced medicine for
32 year*, says he has used every pre
scription known to the profession for
treatment of kidney and bladder dis
eases. and aavs he has never found
anything; so effective in both chronic
and acute tddney and bladder trouble
as Foley's Kidney Cure. .It stops
Irregularities and bulldg up tbe whole

RESUMES HER TRIPS
ON ALL WATER ROUTE
STEAMER SMALL LEAVES THI8
MORNING — RECENT RAINS v
BRING RIVER BACK TO
ITS NORMAL DEPTH.
The river steamer Emmett Small
leaves this morning at I a. m. from
the dock at -the foot of Seventh street.
The heavy rains of, the last fow
days have caused the river to come
back to Ita normal wlnte^ depth, and
now the river boats can continue their
way up and down the river without
much fear that they will bo delayed
on account of low water.
Capt L. E. Hallows says that tho
river, has been lower this summer than
he had ever seen It before, and re
membering the fact that he has been
working on steamboats for forty
years, the lost fifteen being on tho In
land rivers, it must have been very
low. At the present time it hu been
exactly two months and one day be
tween the time this boat left Macon
and returned.
The Emmett Small haa been in Ma
con since last Friday, when It brought
the largest load ever brought up the
river. This morning tho boat la heav
ily laden with cotton, which Is being
•hipped to several points north.
Men Past Sixty in Danger.
More than half of mankind over
sixty years of age suffer from kidney
and bladder disorders, usually en
largement of prostate gland. - This is
both painful and dangerous, and Fo
ley’s Kidney Cure should be taken at
the first sign of danger, as It corrects
Irregularities and has cured many old
men of this disease. Mr. Rodney 'Bur
nett, Rock Port. Mo., writes; "I suf
fered with enlarged prostate gland
and kidney trouble for years and after
taking two bottles of Foley's Kidney
Cure I feel better than I Ihave for
twenty years, although I am now 91
years old.” H. J. Lamar A Co. agents,

FEW GASES TRIED IN
THE SUPERIOR COURT
CIVIL CASES ONLY — DAMAGE
SUIT AGAINST THE CITY OF
MACON.
In the superior court yesterday only
civil cases wore disposed of. these for
the most part being of little public

The cases follow: ,

verdict for defense.

Dora Andrews; verdict for plaintiff In
sum of $65 and Interest.
Mrs. F. P. Yneger va, mayor and
council city of Macon; demurrer by
defense sustained. Thla suit arose over
the alleged fact that the plaintiff
stepped Into a hole at the corner of
Fourth and Poplar, sustaining serious
injury. The amount asked In the
complaint Is $5,000. City Attorney
Hal! made, a strong argument In bo-
half of a demurrer, snd, a* stated,

son of the hostess, infatuated with the
wife, make* love to her and Is repelled.
A detective Is brought Into the house
to ferret out the thief end fixe* the theft
on the son. because of Ms suspicions ac
tions. Appealed to bwthe wife, who con
fesses hfr crime to him, the boy takes
the crime on himself to save her spd the
father’s heart is broken In the son's dls
grace.
The husband's suspicions are aroused,
however, by finding some of the money
in his wife’s possession and he Anally
wrings from her a confession of the theft
which leads up to further suspicions of
the wife'* fidelity In which the offense of
the theft Is dwarfed Into Insignificance.
The denouement, la which the son Is ex

JAMAICA RACE TRACK, N. Y.»'
Nov. 4.—A little band of 600 “regu
lars” saw the Metropolitan racing sea-
■ of 1908 come to a melancholy close
today. Fubllo Interest In racing has
been on the wane alnce early summer,
when the law, which had permitted the
making of wngers In public at tho
race tracks, was replaced by another
prohibiting public betting and provid
ing for a severe penalty for violations.
Many wealthy owners have transferred
thdr best horses to sections where tho
laws governing betting are not so
stringent an here. A largo number of
horses have been nent to Europe by
their owners. There was lacking to
day among tho handful of regulars at
Jamaica any hopefulness for next sea
son. In fact the belief seemed gen
eral that for the “sport of kings,” tho
only oasis In the desert of uncertainty
lay In the near eastern, southern and
western tracks, and there was preva
lent a fefcr lest what seemed an />asls
In the south might turn out to be a
mirage, owing to the reform movement
there. Fortune smiled on the stable
of James R, Keene, who again this
year led the list of winners, his earn
ings having been $282,000.
“Smiling Joe” Notter led the Jookeya
this season by a comfortable margin,
with E. Fagan second, and the little
westerner, D. McCarthy, a close third.
The feature of the card today was
