JUDGE PARKER EXPLAINS.
Thought the Country Knew all About
His Views.

Esopus. y. Y, July 12.-An explana-
tory statement of the long silence of
Judge Parker was given by a close per-
sonal friend of the judge this afternoon
to the Associated Press.
As a judge. said the authority. Judge
Parker had kept silent on political
questions. He believed 1t was not
compatible with the dignity of judge
on the bench to discuss such ques.
tions.
When he was prominently mention
ed as candidate for the presidency
Judge Parker thought the people of
the country knew his full views. He
realized that the Democratic party
would be composed of two elements
when the national convention assem-.
bled-radicals and conservatives. He
knew that he was regarded as the
candidate OF the conservatives, and
became convinced that It was not
necessary for him TO make any state
ment of his views.
Judge Parker had voted for Mr..
Bryan In 1896 and 1900. and he had
done so not because of, but In spite
of the silver plank. He did not think
that any one had any doubt as TO
where he stood, and had hoped to
maintain his silence through the cam.
paign preliminary to the convention.
Judge Parker had no intimation OF
the subject matter OF the platform un-
I'll after he had been notified by the
Associated Press OF his nomination,
said the authority When he had gone
for his horseback ride he realized that
II he allowed the convention 10 adjourn
without knowing his financial Views.
the people would regard as true Mr..
Bryan's statement that the Judge was
tricking the convention and the party.
He was not willing to profit by trick.
cry, II was then, said the informant.
that Judge Parker decided to send
telegram to the convention. He re.
turned from his ride and. without con.
sultlng any one. wrote the telegram TO
MIR. Sheehan. which was filed at ESQ
pus at II 80 a. m. Saturday.

Of w. S. Taylor's little son Is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one OF the most wonderful

Last September. my little boy had
Dropsy: his feet and limbs were

the best in the country told me he
would not get better. stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. gave him three Pills

eighth day the swelling was all gone.
but to give the medicine justice,
gave him eleven more Pills. used

ferences held Saturday night by mem.
bers Of the executive committee OF the

Democrats who are dissatisfied, not so
much with the platform as with the

line OF action during the coming cam

al treasurer of the Peoples party, who,
with several members OF the national
executive committee of that party, has
been in st, Louis attending the Demo

Mr.. Washburn, when asked to di.
vulge the names OF some of his asso-
ciates in the conference, declined to
make them known. The extent OF the
movement and the names of those en-.
gagged in 1t, he said, would be made

conference. Mr.. Washburn said were
Missourians, while others were from
Parker's own state.
Commenting on Judge Parker's nomi-
nation, Mr. Washburn said:
Next to Cleveland, the Populists
most desired the nomination of Par
ker. His nomination emphasizes the
parting of the way OF the allied forces
and will help Immensely TO restore the
Populist party to its former strength
and effectiveness"

OIL LAKE BURNED.
Immense Fourth Of July Blaze at Lam
der, Wyoming.

On July 4th the owners of the Muir
ply oil wells, near Lander, caused
large lake of oil to be fired, the OIL
having increased in quantity upui
there was danger Of it overfowing val
liable meadow land and running the
hay crop. July 4th was selected as the
time for firing the oil, because 1t was
thought the blaze would form an ap-
propriate part of the Independence
Day celebration.
The oil burned rapidly and soon the
fire reached the proportions OF CON
fiagration. The flames shot into the
air a distance OF over 100 feet and
great clouds OF dense black smoke
raised and foated away. The fire at
tracted widespread attention. being
seen by ranchmen and others from
great distances.
Before the deposit OF oil on the lake
had been destroyed by the flames
high wind sprung up and the fire was
communicated to another lake short
distance away. This oil was burned
also.
No other property was destroyed,
and the loss is absolutely nothing, for
the oil was valueless. as there Is no
refinery on the ground nor means OF
transporting the product to the Casper
refinery.
The burning OF the lakes of oil gave
rise to all sorts of sensational reports
which were sent throughout the coun.
try. One report had 1t that represent
atives of the Standard OIL interests,
fearing competition. had fired the res
ervoirs of oil, and other absurd stories
were circulated.
The lakes will fill with oil again, as
there is no way of taking care of the
natural flow from the springs, and 1t is
expected that the product will be
burned again, as it was on July 4th.
