SAN BERNARDINO

SAN BERNARDINO, May 2S.-The
city water supply has become involved
in the endless Lyle creek litigation, and
developments arose yesterday which
may necessitate the city going into
court to enforce the contract which it
now holds, and by which it should be
supplied with 100 inches daily, provided
SO much is required. BY a decision at
Los Angeles yesterday, the Lytle Creek
Water and Development company
holds that it is not under obligations to
deliver the amount sold by judge
Campbell to the city, and that instead Of
100 inches, the amount may be only As
inches
But the water at the Lord gate has
not yet been reduced to 95 inches. This
morning 109 was flowing, of which SO
came to the city reservoir and as the city
used but about 56 inches. the water in
the reservoir is rising slowly.
OF course the city will at once take
action against A. G. Hubbard, who with
Judge Campbell, will go into court and
ask to have the original order enforced
with reference to the present company.
Meanwhile the city has all the water it
needs for present purposes.

HE is A NOBLENIAN.

Omaha, Neb., July 21.-Upon the occa-
sion of his first visit to Omaha since his
nomination, the Hon. w. j. BRYAN was
this evening rendered n magnificent ova-
ton, entirely non-partisan in character
He left Lincoln at 6 p. M, accompanied
by a, couple of friends and half dozen
press representatives When the train
pulled into Omaha at 7:45 p. M. the large
assemblage of men, women and children,
whose vocal efforts drowned the music of
the First Infantry Band.
large platform had been erected at
Fifteenth and Douglass streets, decorated
with bunting and streamers Around it
was assembled crowd of people, the
wide streets for over n block in each di-
rection densely packed from wall to wall
while the roofs and windows of adjoining
buildings were filed with spectators. The
appearance of Mr.. Bryan was the signal
for hearty and prolonged cheering Judge
Doan introduced Mayor Broatch, Repub
lican, who delivered an address of well
come.
When Mr.. Bryan mounted table upon
the platform it was several minutes before
his gestures hushed the uproar and his re-
marks were frequently interrupted by
cheers. He said:
Mr.. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen: /
need not say to you, my friends that l
am deeply touched by the manifestations
of good will, which have been extended to
me since the nomination came to me. 1
understand that this is not altogether a
personal feeling, but it testifies as we'll
to this one great fact, that among the
American people, without regard to party,
without regard to creed, they love Amer
lean institutions and respect those who
for the time being represent them. / ap-
preciate the fact that | am the candidate
before the American people for the high
est office i'll the power of man to bestow
upon his fellow man. If you speak in
complimentary terms of myself I say to
every good word you say of me can re-
peat of my opponent, Major Mckinley.
IF you tell me that you believe that I
honestly endorse the principles in the
platform upon which 1 stand, Il tell you
that rbelieve my opponent endorses the
principles in the platform he stands
upon, and l tell YOU that any man who
charges the American people of another
party with being anarchists and disloyal
American citizens, 1 tell you that they
SANDER the bravest people who have ever
lived. But we are not dismayed at the
use of epithets, because J. know that the
great majority of Republicans and Popu-
lists, as well as Democrats, regard the
use of abusive terms without argument
as disreputable.
For all you have done and all''you have
said beg to thank you most heartily"
AT the close of his address Mr.. BRYAN
was subjected to the handshaking ordeal,
both hands being kept in diligent service
for nearly two hours. Mr.. Bryan will
visit Council Bluffs about noon to-mor-
row and return to Lincoln about p. III.
