1t is reported that there is a plan
on foot to prevent the denomination
of Mr.. Bryan in 1900. If the Chi
cage platform is to be reaffirmed it
may as we'll be Mr.. Bryan as any
other ''l6 to 1" advocate. We do not
know that he is adding anything to
his popularity by the frequency with
which he is putting himself before
the public, but there certainly is less
demand among the people for the
enforcement of his financial ideas.
There is a strong force in the demo-
cratic party who believe in expansion,
and this element is not so favorable
to Bryan's denomination. The I'M
DERIVING sentiment of the country is
with those who are prosecuting the
war, because it thinks our countrv's
honor is involved in the affair as it
stands, but whether it wishes re-
tention of the islands after the war
is over is another matter.

Another Big Success

The theatre was crowded to the
doors again last night, extra seats hay
ing been put in to accommodate the
demand, and the Elleford company
was given a very gratifying reception.
The company gave d most excellent
presentation of 1.-The Ensign" the
plot of which affords many opportuni-
ties for patriotic scenes and expressions
and the author has interviewer wit
and pathos in an admirable manner.
In last nights presentation of this
interesting and clever drama the File
ford company won well merited ap-
plause. All the members who took
part are deserving of credit for the
able manner in which they handled
their respective parts. There was no
dragging or hating, and the interest
of the audience was maintained until
the final drop of the curtain. A better
performance has not been given in Car
son for a long time and Mr.. EllefOrd is
deserving of the success which he is
meeting here.
Tonight the comedy "a Nutmeg
Match" by the author of THE En-
sign" will be produced and a pleasant
evening is assured all who attend.

THE RACES
Good Sport and Heavy Betting
Features Of the Day

The second day or racing at the
Ormsby FAIR proved good sport. An
increase of attendance was a feature
whilr the betting was pretty hot and
left a good impression from the fact
that the races were won on the
square:
The first race was a SIS mile with
FL Rio, Skirmish, Baleric, Shannon
cite, Roulette Wheel and Washoe Ban
in the nix-up. The pools opened
with FL Rio favorite at $40, Roulette
Wheel S. and the field 81. The bet
ting changed toward the close, the
field being on equal betting with FL
Rio. There vas a long delay at the
post and killed off the chances Of the
favorite, When they finally got away
Skirmish immediately forged to the
front and remained there, Winning
handily i'll 1927, Baleric second
Roulette Wheel third and the favorite
next to last.
The talent took a heavy tumble and
the short end has money enough tc
play the rest of the week.
The second race, a trot and pace

An Old Steamboat

Prospectors are about to mike
another effort to discover the 'PegleS
Smith" NINE. supposed to be located
somewhere in San Diego county, says
the Scientific Press. Several men have
already lost their lives in the fruitless
search for This ignus fatuus, and now
others, no less ~foolbardy, are about to
attempt it. The "PegIeg'' story has
been printed and told for years.. and
there is little doubt that it originated
IN a newspaper Office, and has no foun-
dation in fact.
The editor Of the Minor-Index well
knew "PegIeg" Smith, whose habitat
was the corner of Montgomery and
Clay streets, san Francisco. This was
along in So. When Smith was good
and drunk he had a wonderfully rich
mine way out in the waterIcs5 and in
accessible wilderness. always ''betwecn

When Smith was sober he had no

any. In one of his drunken spasms
Thos. J. Ford got hold of him. The

as it we're.
Smith was a man of parts, one of
which was pine wood: hence "PcgIeg.''
He was an oleaginous liar. To him ly-
ing was food, drink and lodging. He
invented a rich mine every time he got
drunk, and scattered them all over
the coast. Deluded softies have been
hunting for them for forty years, but

A Saving in Time.

San Francisco, Feb. 10.--Postmaster
Montague, with the sanction of the post.
office department. has perfected plan
which in certain cases will save four days
time in the transmission of mail from this
city to Australia and New Zealand. At
present the mails are sent alternately
from San Francisco and Vancouver. 1t
takes four days for mail matter to reach
Vancouver from here. The loss of time
is to be obviated by arranging for the
transfer of mails al Honolulu. Mail will
hereafter be sent from here by any out
going steamer that can catch the vessel
from Vancouver at Honolulu. the time to
that port being one day less than from
the northern city. The government may
secure dock for transfer purposes at
Honolulu q
