Lincoln, Neb, June when the
bulletins announcing the nomination
for vice president of Hon Adlai Steven
son, Mr. Bryan expressed his pleasure
and soon afterwards dictated the fol-
lowing;
"Mr. Stevenson is an excellent man
for the place. He supported the ticket
in 1896, and can defend the platform
of 1900. Towne would have strength
ened the ticket in the states where
there is fusion between the Democrats,
Populists and silver Republicans, but
the support given Mr.. Stevenson shows
the convention thought Mr.. Stevenson
the more available man. The choice
has fallen upon one who is in every
respect worthy of the position"
Mr.. Bryan then sent the following
telegram:
Lincoln, Neb, June 6.-Hon. Adlai
E. Stevenson, Bloomington, Ill..Ac-
cept congratulations upon your nomi-
nation. 1t was deserved recognition
of party service
wv. ]. BRYAN"
All through the day kilograms of
of congratulatlon poured in. Among
them we're messages from o. II. P. Bel
mont, w. R. Hearst of New York and
representatives of colored Democratic
leagues. Among Mr. Bryan's morning
callers were II. B. Paul and j. S. Smith
of New Jersey, who came in from Kan
sas City Friday morning. They told
him the Democrats were hopeful OF
carrying that state for him, and they
believed New York without doubt
would be Democratic. Mr.. Bryan def
initely decided not to go to Kansas
City after he had conference
over the telephone with members Of
the national committee at Kansas City.
Mr.. Bryan received the following tele-
gram;
Minnetonka Beach, Mimi, July G.
Accept my congratulations upon your
unanimous nomination.

OCEAN POINT IMPROVEMENTS.
Water System More than Meeting the Pro
moters' Expectations.

j. w. Harlow has returned from
Ocean Point where ne has been for
several days, and in the optimistic
spirit with which he views everything
predicts that it will be but few years
before this will be the summer resort
of the Atlantic coast.
During the past six months many
marked improvements have been made.
DR.. l.. J. Croker has been at work for
some time having cottages built He
had four built, last fall, and is now at
work on two more, this being the rea-
son why his steam yacht, Grace, is
making so many trips back and forth
between this city and that place.
Each of the cottages is finished in an
ideal manner, having an open fire place
and furnished and finished in fully as
good style as many houses in the city.
These cottages will be completed by
the time the summer season opens and
will then be ready for occupancy 1t Is
in hauling lumber for these cottages
that the yacht Grace is kept so busy
going between the two places.
In addition to that work the water
system is almost completed. This is
lions Of DR.. L. j. Croker, DR.. Giddings
and Capt. Cole, the promoters. a shalt
10 inches in diameter and 50 feet deep
has been sunk in the solid rock and
the water supplied resembles that from
d mountain spring, being soft, pure ana
sparkling.
An idea of the supply it furnishes
may be gained when it is known that
steam pump was started to pump the
well dry and work as fast as the pump
could it was not able to suck all the
water out
\ stand pipe is erected a short dis
lance away, that is 50 feet above the
well and the pressure is sufficient to
give d good head into the tower Of the
cottage Of Hon. =. q. Nickery. Tie
wind mill used will be on the grounds
in a short time and with this system
water enough will be furnished to more
than meet the demands of all the peo-
PIE in that place.

STATE HOUSE.
Good Prospects Of An Abund-
ant Crop of Hay.
Interesting Rumor About Augusta
Togus Electric Road.
Georges Valley Railroad Withdraws Petition
for Land Condemnation.

Reports received at the State agricul-
tural department, show that the grass
crop this year, will be unusually heavy.
While the rainfall all over the State
has been a serious disadvantage to the
farmers by staying the progress of the
crops, on the other hand, it is z decided
advantage to the hay crop, and unless
there should be a marked change, there
is no doubt that the hay crop will be as
heavy as has been for several years
There seems to be slight prospect that
the abnormally low prices of a few
years ago will be reached, for the hay
barns in all sections of the State are
well cleaned out, and in some sections
there has been 50 little hay that the
farmers have not been able to feed
their cattle as usual. In one particular
locality, complaints have been made at
court, that the farmers fed SO little
that the animals We're almost subjected
to cruelty. While that is an unusual
case, yet it shows that the price of
hay has been high, the advance being
caused by short supply. In some
cases the hay buyers have been unable
to get enough hay to meet the de-
mands from their customers, and
rather than pay the high prices de-
mandcd for Maine hay, have bought
h J. f.om the West.
~ reports received from some sec
tions seems to indicate that the other
crops are backward. One man in writ
ing, reported that he had planted the
seed for one crop three weeks ago and
had not yet seen any evidence Of his
work 1t is feared, therefore. that in
many sections it will be necessary to
replant some crops, especially on low
ground.
Secretary Il. Walker McKeen has de-
cided to again carry out The field day
idea that proved to be 50 successful in
Camden last year. The State Board Of
Agriculture will unite with the Patrons
of Husbandry in arranging the event.
and have the meet, June 6, in Camden.
There is every reason to believe that
the event will be fully as successful as
that Of last year. when over 1000 people
We're in attendance.

1t was not a surprise to those who
know our laws to hear that the
cases against the alleged Japanese
procurers had been thrown out OF
Court yesterday by Judge Frear.
While all good citizens hoped to see
the men convicted it was foregone
conclusion that the impracticable
methods of our local Parkhursts
would end in a fiasco. No steam
ship company would have under
taken to carry men forcibly deport-
ed. The Cranstoun case which cost
the local government about $4,000
is still fresh in mind. The lawless
men ought to be punished and that
end is not difficult to gain through
our regular procedure Of law. No
Jury will favor those vile men and
our judges will give them short
shrift. The heroic measures adopt
ed by Richards and his lawyers are
useless.
