BIC CROWDS
CELEBRATE
THE FOURTH AT RIVERSIDE
PARK-WAS A PRONOUNCED
SUCCESS.
CREDIT DUE TO A. L. BLOCKER
FOR HIS ENTERPRISE.

All roads led to Riverside Park on
the Fourth, and both day and night
programs were largely attended.
While the amusement features were
not numerous, they were all good, es-
pecially the splendid display of FIRE
works at night, and Mr.. Blocker de-
serves great credit for his enterprise
and energy. He brought the crowd to
Columbia, and every merchant who
had good days business owes large
part of his success to Mr.. Blocker. If
this wide-awake citizen had not TAX
en- hold and gone to work, the Fourth
would have been a dull day in Colum-
bia, and mighty few people would have
been on hand.
The refreshment stands did good
business, the music was fairly good,
but the feature most generally pat
ronized by the fun-seeking crowd was
the automobile course. Three large
machines were in use and from early
morning till late at night they were
never idle AS soon as one party had
taken a ride another was In waiting.
and several hundred dollars were TAX
en- In by this feature.
The first thing on the program was
the sham battle by the c. NJ. A. Cadets
which went on smoothly. and which
furnished a very pretty scene.

Scientists were in the city today. Six
services were held to accommodate the
vast throngs, but even then thousands
were unable to gain admission to the

Chicago Elevated Railroad Com
pany Announces a New
Schedule Of Pay.
SPECIAL p1spArcH TO rue CALL

CHICAGO, June 10.-The Southside
Elevated Railway Company yesterday
of it's own volition pfacarded a new
wage scale for its men. The wages. to
go into effect at once. are the highest
paid to electrical operators in the
world. President Leslie Carter was
entreated. it is said, by the managers
of the other elevated roads to post
pone the announcement until agree
ments with the union had beerf signed
by their respective companies.
The action of the South Side manage
ment was with the object of preventing
the organization of its employees by
the union and If high wages and good
treatment can avail to hinder such
consummatfon they will be forthcom-
ing.
The raise placarded yesterday means
an increase of about $3.50 weekly in
the wages of first-clas motormen while
other advances are given all along the
line. The advance of 2 cents an hour
to first-class motormen means that the
company recognizes that they are the
prime essential to be fastened to the
railway with hooks of steel.

WASHINGTON. June 1o.-The Demo,
Gratis of the House have come under
the spell of the Bryan boom. which
seems to be sweeping the country. A
movement was started among them to.
day to select a committee of Demo
cratic Congressman to go to New York
and join with the other party leaders
in welcoming the Nebraska traveller
upon his return to this country. The
men engineering this project are
Champ Clark of Missouri, Ollie James
of Kentucky and Billy" SuIzer of New
York. They found that practically
every Democrat in the House was will
ing to serve upon the reception com
mittee. Everybody approached said he
would be on the dock when Bryan's
ship arrived. provided he could ar
range his plans to be in New York at
the time
And they all took it for granted that
Bryan IS TO be the next candidate OF
their party for the Presidency Even
such rock-ribbed. conservative gold
bugs as George Washington Taylor of
Alabama are now for Bryan. although
they were against him in 1896 and
again in 1900.
Bryan will be nominated in 1908
beyond any doubt declared Suizer.
Every Democrat in the House is for
him and l do not believe any other
name viii be presented to the nominat-
ing convention
This optimistic opinion is shared by
ex-senator James K. Jones. formerly
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, the man who managed Bry-
ans last race for the Presidency
i am not at all surprised at the
great outbreak of Bryan enthusiasm
throughout the country" said Jones
today There has been no doubt in
my mind for the past six months that
Mr. Bryan would be nominated for the
Presidency in 1903. His hold upon the
people has never been shaken in the
slightest degree. Mr.. Bryan has earned
the confidence and respect of the publiA

heretofore. Ny opinion of Mr. BRYAN
is what it was always-that he is one
