Death Of Francis BRAY.

The lNTELLIGENCER is in receipt Of a
copy Of the San Jose. (Cal.) Mercury.
giving an account of the death of Fran
els Bray athis home in Santa Clara.
May, 81,
Francis Bray was a son of John C.
Bray who with his brother, Gus Bray.
came to Lexington from New Jersey in
the 30's and went on to California, dur.
ing the gold excitement of 40. The late
Robert Taylor was a nephew Of the
elder Bray's; and Gus Bray married
the daughter of the late Col. Jas. Young.
The Mercury says, in part, as follows;
Francis Bray was born in Lexington,
Mo-, on June, 10, 1s40, His father, John,
G. Bray, before starting for California
was given the contract and constructed
the water works for the Mormons at
at Salt Lake. His father crossed the
plains and arrived in California in 1850,
and the deceased followed with his
mother, in 1851 by way of New York
and Panama After a short residence
in San Francisco the family removed
to Santa Clara, where they have since
resided.
Mr.. Bray's early education was Sc
cured at the University of the Pacific,
Then he attended the Santa Clara col
lege and finished his schooling at the
University of California, then located
at Oakland.
On April 20, 1870, he vas united il
marriage to Clara Kennedy at Los
Gatos.
In 1870 he disposed of his milling in
terests aud located permanently at tn
present home on the SCOTS lane, wher
he had resided to the time OF hi
death. Daring those years he devote'
himself to fruit and vine culture ant
was known as an authority on all sub
jects pei taining to horticulture.

ma BRIDGE AID TROLLEY uNE.

When the bridge and trolley line
proposition was frst made the people
we're distracted with city, county
and state politics. Then followed
the eacampment aud closing VI the
schoOls NV all these things are
passed and the time is st hand for
the pc pile To decide what they will
do with The bridge proposition
Everybody rs interested 10 il. The
farmers along the proposed line feel
sure that it will bring the coal undeT
their land into the market, and for
the most part they express a ready
willingness to give the r~ight-of-way.
Everybody knows Of the benefits ex-
pected to accrue TO Lexington. The
proposition carries with it the destiny
OF the place. 1t would sc once in-
crease property values by many times
as much as the bonus asked. It
would increase business. 1t would
attract small manufactures, 1t
would increase the values Of every
acre Of land in %thecountry. This is
the time for herculean effort.
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1904-06-04

The action Of the Jackson county
democratic committee Ia providing
that Mr.. Folk shall name the forty.
five Jackson county delegates to the
state convention is, to say the very
least, discouraging. The Jefferson
City convention 10 addition to select
ing a candidate for governor will be
expected to choose candidates for
Lieutenant Governor, Attorney-Gen-
eral, Secretary Of State, Treasurer,
Auditor, aud Railroad and Warehouse
Commissioners. There is nothing
inconsistent 10 the desire Of the origi-
nal Folk supporters to defeat the
nomination of all the present incum
bentS Of state offices, and If a ma
jerity OF the democrats of Jackson
county see fit to instruct their dele
gates for new men it will be per-
fectly right and proper. But this
thing Of allowing Mr., Folk or any
other man to choose the delegates
and practically name the rest Of the
state ticket amounts to a violation OF
the constitutional provisions which
co-ordinates these offices and make
them all the subjects Of popular selec.
tion. This action has been taken by
several counties, and II enough coun-
ties we're to adopt the plan, it would
be equivalent to permitting Mr.. Folk
to lame the rest OF the state ticket.
Why not permit him to name thC
legislature too? And even IL it were
a safe thing TO do this time, is it
safe precedent? Granted that Mr.
Folk would be guided by t he best
intentions in the selection OF the
Jackson county delegates, how would
the plan work practically? 1t is moi
at all probable that without reference
TO a directory MIR. Folk could name
twenty-five democratic voters in Jack
son county. Who will assist him IL
making the selection? And why can
not the people choose their delegate
as they have been doing for three
quarters Of a century? These ar
times when the state Of feeling il
the democratic party is such that Il
is best to avoid extraordinary course
Of procedure. There is such a thinI
as loading Folk down with embar
RAISING responsibilities.

The reports Of the battle Of Nan
Shan hill are perhaps untrustworthy
in detail, since reporters are not per-
mitted to accompany the armies.
But it seems safe to say that this bat
tie will take its place among the
greatest and most desperate ercount-
ers recorded since the invention of gun
powder. The loss Of life, according
to the latest reports, exceeds that OF
Gettysburg, and the unfalterlng
courage Of the Japanese surpassed that
Of the British at Balaklava.

The death Of Mathew Stanley Quay
removes one Of the best known and
least understood politicians Of recent
times in America. Everybody knows
him as an interruptions manipulation
and high-handed dictator. Few know
him as, a scholar and bibliophlle.
He was the warmest Of personal
friends. Vest loved him like q
brother 7He was a mar Of very:fev
words except In private conversation.
In politics his tactics we're Of the
most secret kind. Nobody, not ever
his lieutenants, knew what his OBJ.
jcctive point was in most instances;
but or one thing they never had a
doubt, -that he would be unfalter-
iDgly true to his friends.

The latest count Of delegates to the
democratic national convention Is:
Parker, 1853; Hearst, 1902; German, SO;
Olney, 49, WAL, 20; Uninstructed ,l75.
If Porto Rico is allowed representa-
tion there will be 1000 delegates, and
IL viii require 667 to nominate. So
it is not at all likely that a nomina-
tion will be reached On an early ballot
and some dark horse, Cockrell or GrayI
may come to the front at the last.
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1904-06-04

Elsewhere In this issue will be
found a letter ,from Judge William
Young upon the recent action Of the
Jackson County Democratic Com
mittee. He expressed the confident
belief that Mr.. Folk will refuse to
name the delegates. Mr.. Folk did
name the delegates for Cole county, ii
