the following story is vouched for by one
of Lancaster's prominent business men.
The firm of Myers & Nissley, of Lincoln,
Neb., were involved in a lawsuit, and by
some misunderstanding their attorney was
absent when the case was about to come
to trial. In this predicament they called
upon lawyer William Jennings Bryan, ana
asked him to have the suit continued until
the attorney returned. Mr.. Bryan left the
office, and in twenty minutes returned, in
forming his new clients that their request
had been granted. They asked Mr.. Bryan
for his fee for the service.
Five hundred dollars he replied, bland

They demurred, contcnding that it was
excessive.

answer that L had come to believe 1T wise
for every nation of the world to recognize

a Misleading Ticket,

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Oct. 1.-THE
Secretary of State, who is a candidate for
reelection on the Democratic ticket, de-
clined to-day to file the Silver party ticket
on the grounds that the ticket under the
caption Silver party ticket" with Demo-
cratic-Populist fusion electors, and the Re-
publican State ticket, would be misleading
to voters. The sound-money Democrats
have filed their ticket, with Judge Brace
for the Supreme Court as their candidate.
Brace is also the nominee on the silver
Democratic ticket. 1t will be seen, there
question which may prove more serious
than anticipated. If the Supreme Court
sustains the Secretary of State in his posi-
ton it will, it is said. be bound to rule
that there is but one legal ticket filed.
breckenridge Now Sure of Election.
FRANKFORT, KY, Oct. 1.-THE Seventh
district Republican committee met here to-
day, resolved itself into a convention and
nominated w. C. P. Breckenridge as that
party's candidate for Congress-. This means
that the name of Colonel Breckinridge, who
has already been nominated by the Ma
tional Democrats. will go under the Repub-
lican device on the ballot. 1t also prac-
ttcally insures the election Of the ex-Con-
gresham, after one term of private life
following the disclosures of the famous
scandal that defeated him in his race for
reelection two years ago. BY a remarkable
steadfastness of purpose Colonel Breckin-
ridge has lived down the disgrace that in
volved his honored name, and the story of
two years ago is seldom referred to by his
political opponents.

II such promises were made by parties un-
authorized by your company the fact still re-
mains that such assurances were naturally
implied that the previous transfer system
would be continued on Kearny street when
the change to the electric line was completed
When lines operating from Kearny up 10
Paclhc and Broadway to Mason, along Mason
TO North Beach, were stopped and material
saving was effected thereby, the transfer priv
lIeges, which were previously en- joyed by the
!ocallty In question and which had become, as
IL were, part OF the value OF the property and
OF the business houses this street were
taken away without explanation or compeusa-
tlon therefor. Under these circumstances we
are firmly convinced that your ccmpany

10 North Beach, as previously enjoyed by that
thoroughfare.
With reference to the other transfers men,
TONED in our communication we will be glad
TO confer with you further, and in that con-
nection assist In having the traffic in transfers
legally abolished
The following statement appears in your
communication: Viewed from our standpoint
this proposition involves the unfortunate
feature OF placing this company under per.
petual obligation to grant year after year Ger.
tain concessions OF a nature which have not
been imposed upon any street-railway COM
pany anywhere, by the laws OF this community
or any other, and this notwiths tanding the
fact that experience may prove these conces-
SionS to be exceedingly disastrous to our inter.
ests." We cannot understand how you arrive
at the conclusions stated in the foregoing
paragraph. 1t is not clear to us how it follows
from the simple proposition submitted in our
communication that your company will be
placed "under perpetual obligation to grant
certain concessions year after year."
We should like very much TO have this ex.
planned to us, well your assertion that
the request in our communication for transfer
privileges heretofore existing along Kearny
street will bind your company perpetually
and iTretrievably to policy the results Of
which are SO uncertain.
