BRYAN & FOLK
IS The TICKET
Democrats at Jefferson City
Boom Nebraskan---Brya Next
President, Says Ex- Governor.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, June g.
At the Democratic convention here ex-
Governor Francis made d telling
speech, after which former State, Sena-
tor David Ball of Pike county was
called on. &aH
He pronounced William j. Bryan the
greatest private citizen in the world.
when | see Grover Cleveland in the
rear end of a train in Missouri talking
for Bryan I'll take back everything |
ever said against him." he declared. :
Former Governor Francis came out
very strong for Bryan, and the fact
that he was secretary of the interior
under President Cleveland and has
been a strong sound money man for
years caused his remarks to be listened
to with unusual interest.
He is declared to be the first close
political and personal friend of Mr..
Cleveland to join the Bryan ranks.
Former Governor Dockery was the
next speaker. He urged the convention
to stand by Governor Folk and every
thing he had done as governor, 'wheth-
err you like it, gentleman, or not" he
said. He spoke of Bryan as 1.-THE next
president" An invitation was sent to
the capitol asking Governor Folk to
address the convention.
Governor Folk responded and was
enthusiastically cheered. He declared
that Bryan would be nominated for
president in 1908 and would be elected.
He said the principles which Bryan
had advocated in 1896 were then con-
sidered anarchistic, but now are con-
sidered the acme of patriotism. He
concluded by speaking on law enforce
ment in Missouri.

PAID TRIBUTE !
TO ABSENT ONE
EuIOgy on Death of Justice Dixon
Delivered by Chief Justice
Gummere.

TRENTON, June 6.-Tribute was
paid to the memory of the late JUS
tice Jonathan Dixon, of Jersey City,
by the New Jersey supreme court
Iand the bar of the state at the open
ing of the June term of the court at
the state house yesterday. 1t was
nearly noon when the justices of the
court, in their black gowns, took their
places for the sitting.
A very large delegation of lawyers
from all sections of the state was
present. 1t included many of the
most prominent lights in the profess
sion.
After Chief Justice William S.
Gummere had formally declared the
court open, Attorney General Nc
Carter, on behalf of the bar of the
state, requested that the court APP
point a committee to prepare suita-
| BILE resolutions upon the death of JUS
tice Dixon. Chief Justice Gummere
replied by stating that the court had
| anticipated the request of the attor-
ney general. He thereupon named
the committee, as follows: Attorney
General Robert H. McCarter, former
Justice Gilbert Collins, Richard ".
Lindabury, Willard p. Voorhees,, and
Clarence l.. Cole.
This committee is to report the
opening day of the court of errors
and appeals, which will be Tuesday,
June 10.
Chfnf TnCfion ~ m ~. sold hn
would not speak Of the social quail
ties of the late Justice Dixon, as fine
as they were. Continuing, he said:
Though only 35 years old when
he left the bar to accept a place on
the bench, Justice Dixon already oc-
cupied the front rank in his profess
sion. A great lawyer when he went
on the bench, he soon became a great
judge, and his course led to a con-
stantly increasing respect and honor
for him. In many respects he was an
ideal judge, courteous always, and
absolute and answering in his de-
sire to see the right triumph and JUS
tice prevail.
Justice Dixon was a profound
lawyer, with a mind Of rare strength
and acumen. He was gifted with
great powers and was noted for the
directness of his decisions. He never
confused his premises with his con-
illusions. For the more than eleven.
years that I have been associated
with him / never knew him to fail in
the accuracy of his reasoning powers.
What errers he did make were always
the result of wrong premises.
Justice Dixon had no superiors
and few equals in his profession in
this state. In the conference room
the accuracy eof his reasoning and
his great legal learning made him of
immense value to the courts. His
opinions were always mastery and
exhaustive.
"This tribute will soon be forgot
ten, but as long as the records of our
courts shall last his opinions will re-
main an enduring monument to his
memory as a great iurist. New Jer-
sey has lost a great public servant"

Gas Made in Racine to be Sup
piled to People in kenosha
Within a Few Months
KENosHA co. TO CONTINUE

The work Of laying gas mains be-
tween Kenosha and Racine to make
it possible for the Racine Gas Light
Company to supply gas in Kenosha,
is now partly completed and it is ex-
pected that all Of the pipes will be
laid within the next month and half
At the present time the gas has been
piped to point three miles south of
Racine and the work is now being
started from this end. tt is emphatic
ally stated by the officials Of the Ke-
nosha Gas and Electric Company that
the company will not stop making gas
in Kenosha, but that the Racine main
/ is to be used wholly for emergency
purposes.
1t is stated that no contract has
been made with the Racine com any
in regard to the amount Of Racine gas
to be used in Kenosha, but it is under
stood that the company will get about
forty thousand cubic feet a day from
Racine. This will make it possible to
keep an even pressure during the
DASy 11OuL Ia 1AGuOSI4ds IlG KAC"
nosha company was confronted with
the alternative of spending fifty
thousand dollars for new holder or
getting gas from Racine and the sec
ond proposition was taken up. The
Racines Company has much larger
capacity than the Kenosha plant and
it is understood that plans are now
beingssmade for the enlargement of
the Racine plant so that practically
unlimited supply of gas can be fur
nished tosKenosha.
1t is'possible that the time will come
when sRacine plants will supply all of
the gassused for cooking and lighting
purposes in Kenosha.
The two com panies have worked to-
gethertin the deal and while the at
torneys forlthe companies hold that
it was not necessary to get per-
mits forathe laying of the big pipe
line, the men interested have secured
permits Efrom nearly every farmer
along the line. The farmers have re-
ceived noEdirect pay for the permits
granted, .butsmany Of them have been
glad to welcome the coming of the
main on account of the fact that it
will makeSit possible for them to in
stall gas in their own homes. Few
farming communities have been given
such an opportunity and it is thought
that many of the Racine and Kenosha
countyifarmers will avail themselves
of it.

A Doubtful Compliment.

An English clergyman was about to
leave his church one evening when he
encountered an old lady examining
the carving on the font.
Finding her DESTROYS of seeing the
beauties of the church. he volunteered

lady, much gratifed at this unex-
pected offer of a personally conducted
tour shyly accepted it.
By-and-by they came to a handsome
tablet On the right Of the pulpit.

tric Railway company, In explaua-
ton Karnes declared this morning
that he had 20 pass, but that hfe had

He stated that when the Humane So
ciety was formed Mr.. Frost stated
that he would give railway transporta-
ton to the agent to aid in the work.
but that no pass had ever been issued
Karnes further stated that he ,hadpaid
