son is ready TO stump Illinois
for Bryan and free silver. This
announcement was made to-
day by the chairman OF the

For some time the attitude OF

doubt. Scores of reporters
ihave asked him how he was
going to vote, and he has told
them that that was nobody's
business but his own. Prior
to the State democratic con
vention Mr.. Morrison was
spoken of as a good man fol
the gubernatoriaf nomination
and it looked as though h'
could have the place for thu
acceptance. Then he uPse

Arthur McKenna's Death
From Quick Con-
sumption.
BURIED By COMRADES.
Their Noble Endeavor to Help
the Lad During His Last
Illness.
A PATHETIC HEADsT0NE.
1t Has Been Erected by the Boys of
the American District Tele-
graph Company.
Messenger "23" is dead.

Messenger .'23" is dead.
Excepting the sorrow in the hearts of
his little comrades and the kind words
spoken of him by his immediate superiors
there is nothing but plein headstone in
HOLY Cross Cemetery to indicate that a
frolicsome lad has passed away.
No crepe was strung in graceful festoons
over the entrances to the various Ameri-
can District 7 Telegraph Company's offices
when Arthur McKenna died. Displays of
that kind are made when some of the big
ones breathe their last and the doors of
the offices are closed, giving the employees
an opportunity for an extra holiday, the
penaltv OF which is only dollar or two
for each mans shcre of some magnificent
floral piece
1t is so different in the case of Messen-
ger "23. -
His coffin, simple affair, was laden
with flowers, it is true; but they were tiny
punches of roses. hyacinths, sweet peas
and nasturliums, purchased with nickels
and dimes. Each bunch was an individ-
ual offering, given with friendly hand and
watered with a tear There were no
mammoth pieces with inlaid sentiments,
which the florist is supposed to know how
TO frame according to the size of the note
with which the purchase is made.
The messenger boys OF the American
District Telegraph Company had better
use Tor their money than to make dis
play. Their little comrade had died an
orphan, without means and no one to look
ont for him but themselves and his
brother William, whose devotion at his
bedside during many tedious weeks
of illness proved him to be possessed of
that strong and feeling nature that makes
q man.
This death of Arthur McKenna has
brought out one phase of the messenger
bov that has not attracted much attention
heretofore. He has generally been re-
garded as a harnm-scarum, shiftless lad,
whose love OF self. cigarettes and yellow
backed novels were divided in equal parts
at an inverse ratio 10 his ability to be slow
in delivering messages.
Well, il he will smoke cigarette, if he
will read trashy novels, and if he will dis

General Freight Business Will Then

On Friday next the Valley road will be
thrown open for general freight business
as far south as La Grand, about eighty
miles from Stockton. Yesterday Traffic
Manager John Moss left for trip along
the road to arrange for final details. He
expects to be back by Friday, and the
general freight tariff will then be issued.
This will be according to classification,

per cent compared to those in effect from

The new road has now ten locomotives
ready for service and has also all the cars
that are necessary TO handle the business,

sderably farther distance but that there

10 China.

Yesterdays session of the Baptist Min
isterial Society was signalized by ripple
of excitement seldom permitted to disturb
the smooth waters of their discussion. At
one time, in fact, the ripple threatened to
swell in volume and become storm wave,
but little verbal oil was poured upon the
surface of the deep and the impending
calamity was averted.
1t all came about on account of the orig
inaI and startling statements in paper
read by Rev. T. G. Brownson, the new
president of the California Baptist College.
The title OF the paper was, "ought the
Bible to Have a Prominent Place in Bap-
tist Schcols2'
President Brownson introduced his sub
iect bv noting that in every Baptist schoo
the course of study covers three or four
wears. He thought that the Bible ought
TO have at least full year as complete
study. and that to graduate from Bap-
tist school of whatever grade full year of
Bible study should be required.
In proof of this he went on to say that a
careful study of the word stimulates intel
lectual development, that as book of
Thought II is masculine and vigorous, and
tEat in every century ana every COM
munity those men who have studied the
Bible have attained higher intellectual
development than those OF more auVahceo
education who have neglected such study.
The Scriptures he also believed to assist
The student in acquiring clear, succinct
and forceful English style.
With regret he mentioned the dense
ignorance of the average person OF the
beauties contained in the Old and New
Tesfameuts and the intellectual as well
as spiritual good they lost thereby.
Then it was that Dr. BroWnson began to
dissert on the subjects that aroused many
of his brethren to dissent. Ihey were IN
connection with the competency of divines
to elucidate the Bible and its use IN sec
ular and religious schools.
"The public Schools" he asserted, "give
the pupil a smattering of everything and
teach him nothing.
"He can neither read nor write and is
seriously defective in arithmetic, while
spelling is worse to him than a foreign
tongue.

appoint the message-sender by not using
wings, there is one thing in which he is
not slow and that is in letting his heart
go out to his comrade, especially Ii he Is
suffering and is in need.
Many months ago, Arthur McKenna,
fatheriess, mGtherless, contracted the hrst
cold that paved his way 10 the grave. Re-
turning from delivering message,
orenched By the rain and no tender hands
to care for him, he lay doNn in his little
cot in dingy room in one of the dark
alleys of this City. The next day he was
stricken with pneumonia.
His brother, William, only couple OF
years his senior, nursed him through that
illness, the other messenger-boys. in the
office furnishing the sinews of war to meet
the doctor and the medicine bills.
When Arthur was convalescent the boys
collected $40 among them selves and each
gave his mite with will to send him to
Vacaville. Subsequent subscriptions were
raised to keep the boy in the country for
three weeks and furnish him with all the
necessaries of life. But the disease had
made too great inroads on his system.
Consumption came next. Quick consum p
ton 1t was AT that and there was little
hope that he could recover.
The boy was brought back and placed in
a private hospital IN this City, where he
died last Friday morning.
Immediately the little fellows IN the
messenger Office got up another suDscrip-
ton to bury their comrade, and out OF
their scanty earnings they raised $40 25.
Colonel O'Connor, the undertaken, took
charge of the remains, and had the amount
been three-fold that, the remains of the
motneress child could not have been
better cared for.
It's not likely that those people who have
from time to time left the extra dime in
tie palm of messenger hand will
regret their donation when they pass
through Holy Gross Cemetery and read
this headstone:

At the other points the telegraph oper.

construction of the road will be instructed

There is no immediate prospect of the
Fresno trouble, which is blocking the
progress of the road, being settled soon,
and the energies of the company will be
devoted to putting IN sidetracks at all the
stations which are now witho ut them as
soon as work on the main line is sus-
pended, and other Improvements will be
pushed so as to get the entire length of
road to within half a mile of Fresno in
