TIED TWO BINDING KNOTS
Police Justice Morrison Performs the Marriage
Ceremony With EcIat

Police Justice Morrison yesterday af-
ternoon united two loving couples in the
bonds of matrimony on the short order
plan, that is, each ceremony occupied
about two minutes or less in the pro-
cess. Shortly after o'clock party OF
four entered his court room, the justice
at the time being absent at the city hall
They made it known that two of the
and the justice was speedily telephoned
to come at once and tie the knot
Arriving, he was informed that John
Bremen and Minnie Lehman were the
contracting parties, the other MEM
bers of the party being f. T. Kussman
and Mrs G.. Horst, who had come along
to see their friends undergo the trying
ordeal. An adjournment was taken
to the judges chambers where, in the
presence of Clerk Kinsey and reporter,
the short but impressive ceremony was
performed.
After speaking a few words to the
bride and groom, impressing upon their
minds the seriousness and lasting obli-
cations that they We're about to take.
he commanded them to join hands, asked
the usual questions and pronounced
them husband and wife. The justice
blushed like a peony while pronouncine
the binding words and at the conclusion
instead of kissing the bride, stepped for
ward and took first the lady and then
the husband by the hand, wishing them
a long and happy married life. Con-
gratulations We're extended by all and
Mr. and Mrs. Brennan departed.
Within a half hour afterward his
honor was again called upon to perform
d like ceremony for Walter w. and
Serena Niece, who were united in the
presence of Clerks Everett and Kinsey
in the same manner. Here again the
Justice failed to claim his prerogative
of kissing the handsome and blushing
bride. but Clerk Everett did the honors
in distinguished and graceful manner
saluting the bride in the customary way.
Mr. and Mrs. Niece were the recipients
of many congratulations and well wishes
for long continuance of their welded
existence.

WEST END POPULISTS
Weekly Msetlng Of the Propaganda Club.
Sneeches Delivered

At the weekly meeting of the West
End Peoples Party Propaganda club a
number of new members were in attend
ance. 1t was decided at the previous
meeting that arrangements be made Tor
open air meetings. The committee ap-
pointed for that purpose reported, and
an encouraging feeling of cooperation
was made manifest as the different
members proposed the share of work
which each one willingly assumed to
take upon himself.
w. C. B. Randolph donated quanti-
ty of lumber, sufficient to erect plat
form.
A. Bourke proposed to furnish the
light.
a. L. Barr offered the services of his
horse and wagon. and others their work
in erecting the stand, and next Friday
everything Is expected to be in readiness
for the delivery of the first open air Pop
ulist speech.
After hearing the committees report
Rev. Mr.. Heming made speech, saying
in substance that it is not a usual thing
for minister to talk politics in public,
but when the economic conditions of
people assume the dangerous propor-
tions which ours are assuming, even
minister may be allowed to express him.
self openly. He was surprised, he said,
by the dense ignorance displayed by the
average business and well-to-do man,
and he did not hesitate to assert that the
average workingman is great deal bet
ter informed on all questions that agi-
tate the country from one end to the
other. and the reason for this is to be
found in the fact that the business man
is wholly wrapped up in his business
matters, and the well-to-do mans
thoughts are absorbed in devising ways
and means to increase his possessions,
while the enforced idleness of the work
ingman and his embarrassment in find
ing the way of making both ends meet
has sharpened his perceptions, and he
is and has been for some time, restless
" investigating the cause for his many
discomforts.
Mrs. Valdez said that the effrontery
of the money power was beyond any or
dinary understanding. They do not
| grant the great mass Of the people the
credit of knowing what will best pro-
mote their welfare and prosperity, but
are magnanimously willing to sacrifice
| $500. 900, 900 to prevent these blind masses
! from bringing wreck and ruin upon
| themselves, and they will not undertake
it single handed either. but will implore
i crowned foreigners to come to their as
! sistance.
| Prof II. T. Berra said he was proud
, to belong to the Populist party the
much -despised young party which today
enjoys the exalted honor of having been
! instrumental in applying the searchlight
| md the club of truth on the hard shell
of corruption of the old political par
ties until they split and broke up. ant
good remains of them will no doubt en-
list on the side which deserves every
patriots support
A. Barr read an article from Wash
ington paper describing the enthusias
tic demonstrations at the nomination o
Mr.. Bryan as president by the Popu
lists at their national convention
The next meeting will be held on tn,

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT HIMSELF
HuntIsg for Ground Squirrels and Gets q
Pistol Ball In the Knee

c. n. Truman proprietor of the Cen
trail avenue laundry, at No. SIS Central
avenue, met with a severe accident
yesterday afternoon shortly after 8
o'clock, receiving a 32-calibre revolver
bullet in his left knee joint from wea-
pom in his own hands. Mr. Truman drives
his own delivery wagon and once a
week makes a call at residence some
six or seven miles out on Seventh street
on the Soldiers Home road.
Yesterday afternoon he was going
out there, and, knowing that the trip
was a monotonous one, he borrowed a
hammerless, self-cocking revolver from
a friend TO use in shooting at ground
squirrels as he drove along. When he
got out back of Westlake park free of the
city streets and where he was likely to
see squirrels he drew the revolver from
his pocket oS as to be in readiness to use
it. In some unexplaied manner the re-
volver was discharged, the ball entering
the knee joint on the inside of the limb.
being DETECTED by the bone and passing
upward toward the thigh.
Truman Immediately turned back to
the city and sought the services of Drs.
Still and Merrill, who probed the wound
and located the ball. The wound, while
not dangerous unless complications en-
sue, is very painful and Will conf1ne the
patient for some time to come.

The second days session of the con-

California was one filed with interest
and excitement The president present
ed a report and an address, which were
both referred to special cominlttee.
The committee on credentials submitted
their report, and, after some little nc
ton, it was adopted.
Out at Pasadena the colored folks are
divided. There is regular, stralsat
Afro-American league and a Douglas
league. Both sent delegates to the con-
gress, and the delegates were on hand TO
demand admission Both sets claimed
that recognition should not be given to
the other. The congress settled the
matter by admitting both delegations
and thereby preserved peace.
SESSION OPENED.
Rev. C, H. Anderson opened the
morning session yesterday by invoking
the Divine blessing, after which the re e
mort of the committee on credentials was
called for and submitted. 1t gave Ala
media 81 delegates; Los Angeles, "a; San

ladies were admitted as delegates, ana
proxies were allowed. Each delegate,
before he was allowed to vote was as
sessed 81 to defray the expenses of the
convention.
The ball opened directly the reading Of
the report was finished. A. d. Jones
moved that it be adopted. A. A. Collins
moved to lay it on the table, and for 4
time motions came in thick and fast
Finally the chair got an opportunity 10
get in word edgeways, and the motion
to table was defeated by a two-thirds
majority.
Then an unfortunate delegate made an
objection to that portion of the report
seating ladies as delegates. The presi-
dent promptly sat upon him with great
decision, force and vigor.
Delegate Jones of Fresno thought thae
the dollar assessment proposition was
stiff, and he wanted it knocked out, but
he failed to accomplish it.
Delegate Collins then submitted mi
nority report denying seats to the Doug
las league of Pasadena. 1t was tabled,
and then the majority report was adopt
ed amid wild enthusiasm and after long
debate, which sorely tried the president.
But he was equal to the occasion and dis
played rare ability as a presiding officer,
On motion committee of seven was
appointed on rules, as follows: j. g..
