TITS SIGNIFICANT.
One is Afraid and the Other
"DaSSent."

Case of True Love Between the
Democratic ana Peoples Party.
Planning for an Aggressive
County Campaign.
Local leaders Of the peoples party were
iubilant today over the strength that
seems to have been developed by the de-
termination Of the party to "play lone
hand" in county politics this fall. They
claim that while the democrats have not
taken official action on the fusion question
there is a slight leaning on the part of in
dividual democrats toward an endorse
ment Of the peoples party county candi-
dates.
Are there any men on the county
ticket Of your party that are particularly
obnoxious to the democrats ?" was asked.
II don't think so-as mass. OF course
there are individual democrats who don't
like individual candidates.
"Do you think they will switch around
and endorse any Of your men at the Sep
tember conyention2"
81 can't tell anything about it. They
couldn't do a better thing if they are anx-
ious to down the democratic party.U
And thus the matter stands. Reduced
TO its lowest terms it means that both
parties are in love with each other and
would like to enter into the holy bonds of
political matrimOny, but stand back wait
ing for "sOme sure sign that signalizes
success"
Plans have been partly formed for an
aggressive county campaign by the reform

A Bright New star.

SAN Francisco, August 1s.-Professor
Edward s. Holden telegraphs the Associ-
ated Press from Lick Observatory that the
new star, which appeared in the oonstella-
tion Auriga last February and which faded
so as to appear very faint through the big
telescope, was observed again last night
by Professors Schaeberle, Campbell and
himself. The star has increased in bright
ness in surprising manner, being now Of
ten and one-half magnitude. The observa-
tions OF the spectrum made during the
last spring left many questions unsettled.
The patient observations will throw much
light upon these and will enable us to
trace something like a complete history OF
the remarkable changes to which it has

San Francisco Jail.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 1s.-"Tex" Wore
has been landed in the county jail by
United States Secret Service officer Harris
and Deputy Marshal Wood. Wore is
charged with passing counterfeit money.
Wore is the last of the Virgil Jones band of
counterfeiters who during last year flooded

Jones, brother of Able Jones, was recently
sent to the penitentiary for stage robbery,
was the leader of the band but had able
assistance in Wore, who added to his
facility in circulating counterfeits with his
peculiar skill in making them. Jones is
now in the Oregon penitentiary, and the
evidence against Wore is said 10 be 50 clear
as to secure his convictions willows

LICK OBSERVATORY, Cal, August lS.-Up
to the middle of August many of the canals
Of Mars discovered in 1877 by Professor
Schiaparelli, were mapped here this year,
but no one of them was seen to be double.
On the night Of August 18th Professors
Schiaberle, Campbell made three entirely
independent drawings, each of which
shows the canal marked gauges on Schiap-
parellfs map to be distinctly double. Thus
the Lick observatory has the pleasure Of
confirming the discovery of Professor Schi-
apprelli in 1892, as it had already done by
its observations of 1890.

SAN Francisco, August 1s.-A Chronicle

1000 miles or more of track between Spo-

a ninety-nine year lease TO she Oregon
Short Line and the Utah Northern railway,

terms of the lease the Union Pacific guar
anteed the interest on the bonds aud per

which Hill can gain control Of the Oregon

that it may haYe sold enough TO lose its

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. Aug. 1S.-At the big
republican convention of state league clubs
Chairman Tracey called the body TO order.
After prayer by chaplin and preliminary
proceedings, Tracey spoke at considerable
length, giving a history of the organiza-
tion of the league four years ago, its object
and growth since that time, and its work
in the presidential campaign. He declared
that to the efforts of its IS 900 young repub-
licans in the last campaign a republican
victory in this state was largely due. He
said seven million under thirty-five years
Of age will participate in this campaign
and one million will cast their first vote
for president Of the United States. OF
these over 5000 will be cast in Illinois
alone. In the hands Of these young men
was the future destiny of the republican
party. At the conclusion of Tracey's ad-
dress a letter of regret from President
Harrison was read, and a message from the
Woman's Republican association of the
United States signed by ]. Ellen Forster,
assuring the Illinois republicans that the
homes Of the country we're with them in
this contest. After some routine business
the convention took a recess till 2:30, 50
