speaking at the court house the Mc-
Klnney Military band rendered a
number of excellent selections which
wore greatly enjoyed by all. The
speaking began in the district court
room at 1.30 o'clock. The rowm had
been appropriately decorated with
flags and bunting by the committee
of ladies appointed by the arrange-
applause and was forced to raise his
hand for silence that he might
be heard. In beginning his address
he said:
"Ladies and gentlemen: McGreg-
or standing on his native heath and
surrounded by his clansmen true,
never felt more at home than 1 do
among the splendid and honest dem-
ment committee, and presented j ocrats of Collin county." He then,
quite an attractive appearance. By | like Senator Gough, referred to the
In the read mission of the Waters-
Pierce Oil Co. Into the state, his
employment by H. Clay Pierce and
other matters, explaining them In
the same manner In which he has
at other places. He was very severe
in the arraignment of his enemies
and declared that while the rule of
turning the other cheek was a good
one for christians, it was not at all
times a proper method of procedure
by a Texas democrat. "My rule is,"
he said, "when my enemy smites me
on one cheek, to smite hint on both
cheeks."
He was given the closest atten-
tion and was frequently interrupted
bv loud and enthusiastic applause.

other young man, W. T. Barnes, a
cousin of W. G. Barnes, left his
home at Booneville for the gold

to Missouri and came on to Texas,
but Mr. Rector took up his perma-

Enloe says business In this line Is

solemn duty, he met a couple In tIn-

stajpped him to tie the knot. Then
after leaving the graveyard he met

public road while enroute home.
Thus perfoming two marriage cre-

Mrs. M. E. Caldwell died at 8.45
o'clock this mornlug at the home of
her son, Dr. J. A. Caldwell, No. 41
South Tennessee street, after a
lingering illness. Ml that medical
skill or careful, tender nurBlna
could suggest was exerted to restore
the sufferer to health and strength,
but at her advanced age she was un-
able to withstand the ravages of
disease and at last at the houi stat-
ed, surrounded by her two sons
and daughter, and other loved one?,
she quietly sank to rest "us calmly
as the moonlight greets 'nu sen."
Mrs. Caldwell, whose maiden
name was Mary E. CaldweH, was
born in Murray county, Tenn., No-
vember 20, 1831, and was there-
fore 71 years, 11 months and 9
days old. She was married to Al-
exander J. Caldwell in August 1834
and to them eeven children were

Mrs. Caldwell united with the M.

Lincoln, Neb., Ntiv. B.—William
J. Bryan spoke here on the subject
of "Dreams" Saturday night.. His
address was an answer to Republican
orators who have spoken in Nebras-
ka this fall criticising Mr. Bryan,
and more especially In reply to Sen-
ator Beveridge, who said in Lincoln
several weeks ago that Mr. Bryan
was a splendid man, hut in politics,
"an Impossible dreamer."
Mr. Bryan said Jefferson had been
called a dreamer and In his day they
had a Beveridge in the person or
Mexander Hamilton, one of those
pet Ideas was that Prseidents shouiu
he elected for life. "I do not like
that plan." said Mr. Bryan. "Roose-
velt Is only a year and a half older
than I, and he is In perfect health,
what chance would a man of my ag«
have to be President? If such a plan
were In vogue, you never would
have had Roosevelt. Orover Cleve-
land still lives, my triends."
Some of the dreams of Democracy
were described by Mr. Bryan as be-
ing the election of United State*
Senators by direct vote, tariff re-
form, arbitration and trust, regula-
tion. These were dreams, he de-
clared, which would In time come
true.
