NEW CANAL COMPANY.
Il
The Nutmeg Reservoir Company Sup
plants the Weiser Reservoir, Land
& Irrigation Company.

The bench south of the Weiser
river will be irrigated under better
plan than 1t was to have been. The
water right reservoir and canal peo-
Pile have retired and local energy will
complete the work and the land will
own the water, as it should.
When the teams were pulled off
the work some time ago it was thought
by good many that Holms & Jar
Wis would do no more, and it has so
turned out.
The old company got into some fl
nancial difficulty and said they would
be glad to sell all their rights, survey
and improvements for $500.
A local company with A. G. Up
ton as president and Alex Johnston
us secretary was at once formed and
the property purchased. Upton,
Johnston, Chas Oleson, John Ayers
and c. L. Drake were elected direct
ors, and the articles of incorporation
have been filed with the secretary of
state.
The new company is capitalized at
50, 900 with 1870 shares of $50 each,
over 100 being now taken. Each
share will give about ten inches of
water with the facilities at present
calculated upon.
The Nutmeg reservoir is to be re-
built, where it washed out last spring,
with safeguards against a recurrence
of the accident. The other COM
pany's engineer claimed it would IT.
rigate $500 acres easily, or i'll other
words furnish $500 inches of water.
The new local company in placing
the limit of shares ut 1870 or an est.
mate of 1900 inches for that many
acres of land feel sure of never fail
ing on water.
AS new settlers desire to take VI
land and get water it is probable the
capital stock and number of shares
will be increased and the Cove reser
voir site taken advantage of to irri
gate a larger territory. Work will b.
pushed along as soon as convenient
The notes given to the old com
, pany by farmers for water right
: have all been returned. When TIN
| new works are completed each share
holders water will be turned out t
him without charge. The only an
nual cost will be an Insignificant as

ment is made of the resignation of G.

lieutenant governor. 1t is said that
George w. Gere, state chairman, wrote
him requesting him to do some speak
ing in Champaign, where Mr.. Gere re-
sides, and the invitation was declined.
1t is said that he is in favor of VIM. j.

take the stump in support Of his candi-
dacy and the Chicago platform. He is
the editor Of the Fair Dealer, In his
letter Mr.. Windle said
Believing the present financial dis
tress is, in great measure, due to the
single gold standard, can not consent
to be party to such o policy, but must,
in honor, do all / can against it, and
throw off the golden yoke of Wall street

Silver Sentiment Increasing.

Rochester,, N. Y, July 2O.-William
P. st. John, the New York banker, is
here to address the Monroe county de-
mocracy. He expresses himself as de-
lighted with the nomination of Bryan
and Sewall, and asserts that the demo
cratic ticket will carry New York, New
Hampshire, Maine and Vermont.
Mr.. st. John said today that he be-
came a silver man in 1884, when he was
appointed member Of the finance COM
mittee of the New York chamber Of
commerce to investigate the silver ques-
ton. After six years research he be-
came an advocate of the white metal,
and two years later was voted out o.
the committee on that account.
The Monroe county democracy, for
merly the Cleveland Legion, has rati
fed the nomination Of Bryan and Sewal
and the platform. This is important
because the democracy has been {
stanch supporter of Cleveland and hi
gold-standard theories.

Minnesota Silver Men Endorse Bryan for
President,


President.
Minneapolis, Mimi, July 1S.-The
state mass-convention of silver men this
afternoon, in the hall in which Gen.
Harrison was nominated for president
in 1892, was really remarkable gath
ering. 1t contained SO many of the old
wheel-horses of the republican party
that it set that organization to thinking.
Among the number were Lieut.. Gov.
Day, Congressman Towne, ex-Cong-
ressman Lind and Senotors Howard,
Smith and Morgan, 1t pointed out
clearly that old party lines in this sec
ton are to be obliterated this fall.
Lieut.. Gov. Day was made chairman of
the convention. William J. Bryan was
endorsed for president by resolution,
and thirty delegates were named to the
national silver convention at st. Louis.
The most important resolution adopted
during the day was the following:
Recognizing John Lind as man
not only prominently qualified for the
high office of governor of this great
state, but also, as already designated
by the spontaneous expression of @
large proportion of the people of Min
nesota, irrespective of party, as the man
above all others to lead in the impend-
ing campaign for humanity, justice and
good government, this mass convention
presents his name to the people and to
the party conventions yet to be held for
their favorable consideration as can
didate for governor of Minnesota.

John Lind has been a republican all
his life and has served three terms in
congress from the second district. 1t
is said he will be placed in nomination
by both the populist and democratic
state conventions.
The program for the evening included
a great mass-meeting at exposition hall,
at which addresses were made by Con-
gresham Towne of Duluth and John
Lind. The convention was attended
by about 500 delegates from all portions
of the state.

MR.. BRYAN 4 POOR MAN.

Mr.. Bryan is man of small means.
He was married Oct. /, 1884, to Mary
Baird, of Perry, ILL.,, who attended the
female ACADEMY in Jacksonville when
he was in the other school at the same
place, and who graduated the same
week that he did, and was also the
valedictorian of her class. She studied
law and was admitted to the bar with
out any idea of practicing, but simply
to be more thoroughly companionable
to him. She is year or two younger
than he. Three children have been
born to them-Ruth, 10 years DID,
William J. Jr., about and Grace five
years old. Mr.. Bryan is a Presby-
terrain, having joined the Cumberland
Presbyterian church at the age of ID,
He is now member of the First
Presbyterion church of Lincoln.
His father was Silas Bryan, who was
a circuit judge at the time of his sons
birth, and served in that capacity from
1860 to 1872, on the bench of Illinois
Judge Bryan moved on farm, shor'
distance from Salem, when his son was
6 years old, and from that time until h,
was 80 years old the younger Bryan
spent the summers on the farm. II

Mrs. Bryan is quiet-appearing little

black gloves, and a chip cap, trimmed
with purple flowers and black satin rib
bon. She was very self-possessed, and
when approached just after the an
nouncement Of Mr.. Bryan's nomina-

There is a noticeable absence Of the
boyishness seen in the pictures and
Autographs of him which have been
circulated. He is affable and kind in
manner, easily approachable, and does
not lack dignity. In appearance, he is
an illustration of the fact that some
men are never accorded justice by a
picture, which, in this case, does not
prepare one for the expression OF keen
ness shown in his face.
