may see fit
The meeting also voted to increase the
number of members of the board of direc-
tors from five to seven. 1t was explained
that as this increase was merely in the
nature of filling vacancies existing on the
board, the two new members would be
chosen by the directors at a. subsequent
meeting F
President Barker said after the meeting
that the new members would The Edwin
Gould and James Hopkins, of st. Louis. 1t
is generally understood that the bulk of
the $4 ,000, 900 would be used in buying up
some competing plants and in wiping out
the floating debt of the company. Edwin
Gould, one of the new directors, is the
principal owner of the Continental Match
Company, for which it is said he is to re-
eeiye between s750,000 aud $1,000,000 in

bathing Beach Casualties.

To the Editor of The Times:
Every year Congress makes appropriations and
the Commissioners and superintendent make rules
for the safety and good management of the bath
ing beach. Still. notwithstanding life guards,
police supervision, and SO on, the drowning of
our boys continues, through negligence or failure
On the part of some to exercise proper ygi-
lance or supervision. 60
Close up the death trap OF have it properly
posted and patrolled The fact of boy being
drowned and his clothing found the next day
still hanging in the bathhouse is matter for
investigation.
/ understand the floats have also been removed
or changed, and that boys of tender years and
unable to swim are compelled or permitted to
incur improper risks l know OF one who Slid
in hole few days ago. and it was more by
good luck than skill or swimming ability that he
did not land in the morgue. When the beach
was established one of the arguments in its favor
was that it would lessen the risk OF drowning in
the river and at the docks and wharves On the
contrary there have been more fatalities in the
last few years than for many previous.

There was scramble for stocks in the
market this morning that resulted in the
most active opening yet seen during this
movement. The public was undoubtedly a
heavy buyer, in addition To the work OF the
cliques and some further covering of
shorts. Prices advanced rapidly from a
fraction 10 two and more points during
the first half hour of the day, the most ac-
tive issues being American Tobacco,
Brooklyn Rapid Transit, and Sugar,
though the railway list was by no means
duh or disinteresting. The highest price
of this movement, and in some cases the
highest of this year, were recorded. Be-
fore II o'clock the ardor of the buying was
over for the time being at least, and profit
taking began, though not apparently on a
very heavy scales Prices eased of frac-
tionally in the railway list and more rap
idly in Tobacco and one OF two others OF
the specialties.

AN ABSOLUTE Ass.

The San Francisco Post, in speaking
Of the antitrust crusade, exhibits its
ears to the world as follows:
But the Democrats are making d
great mistake in permitting Bryan to
lead in this crusade. Mr.. Bryan is in
some respects a ''chestnut, and the
facility with which he leaps from issue
to issue, and the sOphistry with which
he invests most of the subjects he dis
eusses are giving intelligent people
throughout the country an exceedingly
weary feeling. If he leads in the anti
trust crusade that movement will be
handicapped from the start. If the
Democrats desire to win on such a
platform they should put forward a
new man who will present a character
for sincerity as well as ability. Bryan
is a bad actor, a chestnut and undOubt-
eddy insincere.
In the Posts endeavor to convince ito
readers that Bryan is not the man tc
lead the antitrust crusade, it conclu,
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1899-05-30

slvely proves that ne is the man above
all others who can successfully vindicate
his claim to the position of leader.
1t IS simple enough. The Post is a
Republican paper and an advocate of
trusts. If it for a moment supposed
that Bryan would be a failure leading
the antitrust forces, it would offer no
opposition TO his being entrusted with
that important position. 1t is the
gloomy torebOding that he will win if
made the leader of the forces that is
giving the editor of the Post such So
hcltous concern. If the writer on the
PEST had the brains OF a Jersey clam.
he would keep to himself the unwelcome
belief that Bryan will win in 1900. IF
the editor Of the Post is not an absolute
ass then are &c absolute asses in Cali
foruia.

FORTUNE IN STORE,
n. Woodstock Man Is
Heir to Thousands
Of Dollars,
THE GOOD NEWS RECEIVED.
Frank Courtney Will Move
His Family to Boston
Soon.
THE GOOD NEWS RECEIVED.

Webster, Sept. 19-F'rank Courtney
a farmer residing on the outskirts of
North Woodstock, has suddenly bios
somed into wealthy man. He is today
changed from weary life of drudgery
to that of wealth and comfort and
never more will he have to toll and reap
the haryests on his little mortgaged
farm on the outskirts of civilization.
Hereafter he will be looked up to as
a man Of influence and means and it
all comes from letter which he re-
ceiNed few days ago from lawyer in
San Francisco, Cal.
Courtney is married man. He is
4S years old. He married young girl
in Fargo, N. D., IL years ago. Since
their union the couple has been
blessed with two children-a boy and
girl
Seven years ago Courtney came to
this section from the west and settled
in the rural district he now hives in.
He was then a poor man, with barely
enough to pay the TRANSPORTATION. but
for some reason or other which he
refused to state, he took up his hum
BILE abode here and has since titled the
soil
1t was hard scratching for him and
his wife, but they managed to stick it
out. Courtney knew that some time
he would be a rich man, as his uncle
had promised to leave his fortune to
him when he died. His uncle was worth
in the neighborhood of $50, 900, it was
estimated, but it seems that he had
either lost it through bad speculation or
that he was reputed richer than he
really was.
Last Friday CouRtney received a let
ter from the far west that his uncle
had died a few DAYS previous and he
had bequeathed the sum of $4,000 to
him. The letter stated that in few
days certain papers will be sent to him
for him sto sign. which win prove his
identity, etc. when the money will be
turned over to him after all of the legal
details are ssettled. That will consume
few weeks at hast, but the money
is as good as if 1t was now in his
hands.
When the letter was received at the
humble Courtney homestead, it is need
less to say what happiness it caused.
The family went into estacies over it.
They had all reasons for so doing, for
it means to them hereafter a comfort
able living.
Courtney says that he will at once
pay off the mortgage that is now upon
his farm and, if possible sell out and
move to Boston, where, he says, he in
tends to spend the rest of his days with
his wifesand two children. He is Of the
opinion that he has worked enough
curling the past days of his life to en-
Joystfle remaining days in comfortable
manner. He says that he will not for
get his ffiends who have helped him
When he has been in trouble and that
Y he can do anything to benefit them
ne will willingly do the same. He has
tAe best and sfncerest wishes of his

NUISANCE OF ITINERANTS.
Authorities Will Be Asked
to at Least Make Pack
Peddlers Pay License.

Spencer, Sept. 19.-Considerable trouble
is caused among local clothing dealers
on account of the freedom which ped
lers and fakirs of every description
are allowed to come into town to dis
pose Of their goods, without taking out
license.
The Spy reporter had an interview
today with all of the leading clothing
dealers of the town.
They all seem to have taken bold
stand against the privilege of these
people, on the grounds that they are
obliged to pay heavy tax for the privi-
lege of disposing of goods, while ped
lers from all over the country canvass
the town with packs on their backs or
drive around in teams.
A petition has been made out to be
passed among the leading clothing
dealers to see what can be done in the
matter.
