COMMONER HAS TAKEN
A LEAVE OF OLD STAT!
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 1.—As one ol
the results of the election, Nebraska
is to lose William J. Bryan. He has
dismantled his home at Fairview,
shipped a portion of the furniture to
his winter home at Miami, Florida
and is sending his large library, which
he greatly prizes, to his summer home
at Asheville, N. C., where it is sale
he will live and cast his vote. Fair
view is said to be for salo. although
Mr. Bryan’s brother, C. W. Bryan,
denies that Mr. Bryan has left Ne
braska for all time. Many Nebraska
Democrats believe he has his eye on
the Prohibition Presidential nomina
tion in 1!>20.
Mr. Bryan has been deposed as the
Democratic leader in Nebraska by
United States Senator (i. M. Hitch
cock, who was re-elected over Mr.
Bryan’s most determined opposition.
Furthermore, Keith Neville, a then
unknown young man from the west
ern part of the state, who was taken
up by Hitchcock, defeated Charles W.
Bryan for the Gubernatorial nomina
and afterwards was elected Governor
ever the opposition of both William
J. and C. W. Bryan and all their
friends.—Ex.
SEATTLE DRV SQL AD (JETS
ALASKAN STEAM SR IP 1*1’USER
According to word on the Tity of
Seattle, Purser C. H. Rutherford, of
that steamer, was arrested in Seattle
by the dry squad as he stepped ashore
on the last trip south.
Mr. Rutherford was bokked at head
quarters with “bringing in liquor
without a permit.” The police
claim that when arrested he had a
suit case containing a quart of
whiskey and a quart of gin, which he
was carrying ashore.
Mr. Rutherford was released on
$100 bail and his case had not come
to trial when the Seattle left there
last Monday. The victim of the ar
rest claims that he was taking the
liquor ashore to be used in his family
for medical purposes.—Ex.

PLENTY TRAVEL THIS WAY
»
Thursday last was u busy day in
Iditarod, because of the number ot
persons departing for the Outside
over the Seward trail. Several of
those departing were among the num-|
ber who usually take the last boat
out, but this year there seems to have
been a general desire to await the
opening of the winter trail rather j
than to suffer the discomforts and
perils of a trip in a small boat to St.
Michael.
The first team to get away was in
charge of Hob Griffis, the veteran
musher and former mail carrier, with
Charles Koss of the Mind's & Mer
chant’s Bank as a passenger. Mr.
Ross will go as far as Tokotna with
Mr. Griffis and there await the arri
val of Henry Riley, with whom he
will proceed to Seward.
Henry Riley ami Al Walsh got
away later. Mr. Walsh goes only as
far as Ophir at present, and Mr.
Riley, after transacting business at
Tokotna and Candle creek, will re
sume his journey to Seward.
Among the others who departed or
were preparing to depart were (lillie
Rates, Harry Johnson, Angus Mc
Kinzie and his son, Ernest, Joe Lor
enger and Chester Brink, and several
others. There promises to be plenty
of travel on the trail this winter, as
most if not all of the persons leaving
intend to return in February or
March.—Iditarod Pioneer.
