MAY BE MIR. TOWNE.

Some time since it was promi.
nently announced that Mr.. Bryan's
choice for the democratic candidate
for the presidency in 1904 is Charles
A. .Towne. 1t is, however, more
than probable that Mr.. Bryan's
friends will not control the. national
convention. 1t is foregone con-
clusion that the last two national
platforms-the Chicago and the
Kansas City-will not be formally
endorsed and readopted. Whether
Mr. Towne is DESTROYS of being a
candidate upon single, money
standard does not appear, but 1T
seems very evident that he is in high
favorwith Tammany. as witness the
recent dispatch from. New Yorf:
ssProminent Tammany men are
discussing with much interest the
announcement from the west that
Charles A. Towne would be Bryan's
choice for president in 1904. Since
his residence was established in New
York former Senator Towne has
grown in favor with the Tammany
leaders. He was one of the Politi-
cal orators on the, Fourth of July,
and has been selected to deliver the
Grafton at the commemoration of the
centenary of the execution of Rob
ert Emmett, at the Academy of Mu-
sic, September 20.
"Mr. Towne has strong political
backing here and his friends declare
that they will shortly start boom
for him for the democratic presiden-
tial nomination. Tammany may
throw it's entire influence for him in
the national convention next year."

State Board of Equalization with its
presidency-an excellent selection
for more reasons than one. He is
a model presiding officer, having
served in that capacsty under all

excellent parliamentarian. Business
is dispatched with rapidity and acc,
uracy. Furthermore, he has years
of experience as a member OF the

the whole question of taxations as
it is presented in the meetings and

An Egg-rivating Question.

II. b. Kensel, of Granite, is the
lawful possessor of nine hens in
good working order, from which
he gets Ia eggs daily. A ques-
ton has arisen as to the owner
ship of the surplus fruit and in
trying TO solve the question the
legal editor of the Enterprise
hands down the following opin-
ion:
"The question which naturally
arises is whether it is a fact that
because a man owns nine bob
tailed, flea bitten hens, he is en-
titled to all the eggs laid in that
ward, and whether a hen s equity
in her egg is extinguished when
il passes from her poss ession.
This is ar extremely knotty prob
lem and one which at present is
agitating the entire community,
but as Mr.. Kinsel is a lawyer he
will probably settle the question
to his own satisfaction, at least.
The legal editor of the Enterprise,
however, after exhaustive delv-
ing into tones of henology and
lawology advances this opinion !:
"That because Smiths hen lays
in Jones' straw stack it follows
that the egg is the property of
the fellow who gets there first.
This only follows, however, when
the hen cackles three times in n
loud voice, thus giving due and
legal notice to the entire world
that she has laid an egg. If on
the other hand she fails TO cackle,
and deposits her egg in a sly and
secretive manner, it is presump-
tive evidence that she as agent
for Smith has not relinquished or
quit-claimed her vested right in
the property, and that she in
tends to set and thaw the afore-
said egg into a downy, fluffy,
'peeping' extract of hen fruit,
which would plainly belong to
Smith through her as agent"
