finance committee and the committee
on permanent headquarters discharged
owing to their inactivity. and il WAS car
red. The chairman then appointed Asher,
Carnes and Dyer as new committee on
I permanent headquarters, and Jacobs,
Mullen and Young as a committee to fiji
vacancies. he announced that he would
take "a hours to consider aud appoint the
new finance committee.
III. Steffans then suggested that as the
Democratic party was lecturiug in the
various precincts and explaining the
working of the Australian ballot system TO
citizens. the Republicans should do the
same, as the major portion of the people
were entirely ignorant of the system and its
methods. w. A. s. Nicholson supported
the suggestion in vigorous and compre-
hensive speech. "They must think we are
asleep" said he, land 1t will never do
to let our opponents keep this opinion"
A long and general discussion followed.
Finally the chairman was empowered TO ap-
point some one to make all arrangements
for instructing the whole of the committee
men on the Australian system. Then they
were TO be deputed TO instruct the officers
Of the various political clubs in their re-
spectlve districts who would in turn lecture
to the voters. The meeting then adjourned.

The Burns County Committee met last
night at 1OlS Market street In executive ses-
sion and discussed the outlook for the local
campaign. 1t is understood that they
decided to nominate a full municipal

doing SO they will consult with the
various elements who are dissatis6ea.
Among other things il is anticipated that
they will join hands with the anti-diye
people and pledge their nominees to work
TO that end. They will also, it is expected,

Some time ago William Kenny, who said
he lived at 4lo Ellis street, hired horse
and buggy from X. Leggett. livery-stable
keeper, by the month. but failed to settle with
the latter at the end OF that time. Leggett
found him al the Bay District track yesterday
afternoon and pres, n ed his bill, amounting
TO S32 and demanded settlement. Kenny
not only refused to pay but added insult to
injury and called his debtor hard names,
when the latter struck him and badly dis
figured his countenance. Policeman Ma
honey stopped the fight and booked Leqgett
for battery at the New City hall station.

Fair Crops and Good Prices Making the
Grower Happy.


Grower Happy.
A. T. Hatch, the pioneer fruit-grower,
who is now a guest at the Palace, says the
prospects for the industry were never bet
ter. The pear crop is a good average, and
peaches are as good. Almonds will give
the largest crop yet, on account OF the
young trees coming into bearing. The
prune crop is light. Plums show pretty
good crop in some places. The apricot crop
was very light, except in a few localities.
The grape crop is going TO be light except
possibly the raisin grapes, which will yield
fair crop; the wine grape crop is exceed
ingly light.
Concerning prices he says that though
not as high as two years ago, they are yet
high enough to leave a good margin Of
profit for the grower. lie received advices

NJ. F. Tarpey, member Of the National

turned from the East yesterday full Of en-
thusasm and firm in the belief that Cleve-

RaineY Hard at wnrL

The Democrats who have allied their for
tunes to those OF the Reorganizers are con-
siderably disgrunted over the action Of
Sam Rainey and his associates who are
seeking 10 get control OF the organization
of the party. As before intimated Raipey
IS making an active fight for control of the
Board OF Supervisors and the outlook
seems favorable TO his success. Another
office which Rainey would like to control is
that of Sheriff. and he is boosting Jim
O'Brien for the place. IL the latter pulls
through it will be an evidence Of the fact
that the old Buckley gang is in the saddle
again and ready for business.

Traffic Associations Sustained.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. S.-The argu-
ments in the case of The United States vs..
the Trans Missouri Association were closed
this afternoon, but the decision will not be
rendered before October. The prevailing
opinion is that the United States will lose
the fight. The trial clearly establishes the
legal right to the existence of freight and
traffic associations. both because of their
compliance with the interstate commerce
law and the benefits from their workings.

that the meeting will occur. White has
quite a reputation, but his best friends
know that at best he is entirely superb cial,
and they are looking for the fur to fly from
the Los Angeles man when they get to-
gether. The fact is that Estee is one of the
best-informed men on the tariff question in
the State, and the belief is general that he
will make White hunt his hole before the
camDaign is oyer.
