Mr.. BRYAN's POSITION.

ment that the distinguished Ne
braskan will accept the democratic
nomination for president if it
should come to him without a
contest. He does not seek this
honor and puts the success of the
party above the ambition of any
man, or set of men, suggesting In
his statement that the first thing
to be considered is whether his
candidacy would strengthen the
democratic ticket. II the conclu-
sion should be reached that an
other would be more available the
same would meet with Mr.. Bryan's
approval. He is not one of those
who sulk in their tents. W. j.
Bryan always Submits to the ar
bitrament of the national conven-
ton" He has decided convictions
upon all matters Of public policy
and possesses the courageto express
them. The trimmer and time-serv-
er have no place in his vocabulary.
The plain straightforward way in
which Mr.. Bryan states his posi-
tion upon the subject of a third
nomination is receiving the warm
est commendation of his millions
of friends throughout the country
and has greatly strengthened him
with the people everywhere. The
absence of even a semblance of
selfishness in the extended an
nouncement of Mr.. Bryan's feel
ings, with reference to the presl-
Dental nomination next year, was
to have been expected. He is a
great big man anyway you take
him.
MI. Bryan expresses the belief
that the chances for democratic
success next year are fattering.
With the apparent division in the
republican household upon the
question of tariff reform and the
existing harmony that seems to
peryade the democratic atmos-
phere there is cause for hope, to
say the least And the availibil-
ity of MI. Bryan is recognized by
every Well-informed person, upon
political conditions. in the count
ry. He has twice received a great
er number of votes for president
than any other democratic candi-
date ever did. ''The proof of the
pudding is in chewing the bag"
The democratic party has no
stronger leader than William Jen7d
nings Bryan and the nomination
should go to him shy unanimous
consent" And it will.
Mr.. Bryan is optimistic upon
the subject of party success. In
a speech recently delivered at La
fayette, Ind, he said: "We. are
full of hope and enthusiasm and
cannot fail this time. We want
volunteers. We want every mem
Der of the party to be a volunteer
and missionary. The people &C.
cept democratic doctrine readily
when they understand it. It is
only ignorance of the real princi-
pies of the party that keeps us
from power" Maybe so, to a
considerable extent, but paltry
dollars has, also, played an impor-
tant part in the calculation. Enor-
nous corruption funds have twice
defeated Mr.. Bryan for president,
in our opinion. Perhaps the pur-
chasable vote it attracted largely
from the ignorant classes of peo- J
pie. IF so, there Is nlentv of

answer to an invitation of the board of Trade to visit this vicin- ity. MT. Garfield expressed his appreciation of the invitation, but stated that lack of time would make his acceptance impossible. But it is interesting to note in this connection that the people of Santa Cruz county and the Board of Trade have at least gotten their name before the secretary in con- nection with irrigation matters.
 Among the matters of new busi- ness coming before the board was request from the management of the Irrigation Congress at Sacra- mento for an exhibit from this sec- ton of products of irrigated lands. Owing to lack of time in which to prepare such an exhibit 1t was decided not to send one this year.
 After some interesting discussion of irrigation possibilities in this section and a discussion as to the possibility of the boards ability to induce the Government to stock the county with Chinese pheasants, the meeting adjourned.

SUNDAY TRAGEDY.
Harry PeIton, the Painter, Killed by
 Accidental Discharge of Shotgun.

Last Sunday Mir. Harry Pelton was almost instantly killed by the accidental dischage of shotgun. Mir. Pelton, with his wife, was member of picnic party and was driving out to the Santa Cruz river when the accident occurred Seated on the front seat of the wagon, with the shotgun between his knees, Mir. Pelton leaned forward to put on the brake as the wagon was descending a slight incline on the road. As he leaned forward the gun slipped and was discharged, the load of shot striking him on the right side of the head, almost tearing off the back of the head, and penetrating the brain. When picked up it was found that he also had a wound on the thigh, but whether it was caused by the shot or whether the flesh was lacerated by the iron handle of the brake as he fell forward against it, seems to be question.
 The picnic party at once re- turned to town, bringing the body with them. An inquest was held, the jury returning verdict of accidental death. The funeral was held Monday afternoon.
 Mir. Pelton was a Kentuckian by birth and resided in Nogales for more than nine years, coming here in the winter of 1898. He was painter and decorator by trade. Soon after coming to Nogales he married and leaves a widow, but no children.

 Vice-President Corral granted an interview to The Herald represent ative yesterday afternoon. He looks in splendid health, the ill., ness caused by overwork which he had been suffering from, and which caused him to take a two months rest, has entirely disappeared.
 Mir. Corral expressed his pleasure at being able to visit Sonora, and while his trip was not for business, but only for rest, he could easily appreciate the enormous progress made in that state in business way.
 Mir. Corral made a short visit to Cananea, and found the conditions there as satisfactory as can be. The people there are working and mak- ing money, and the camp is progress ing in the best shape. There is nothing left of the troubles which occurred there last year, and the vice-president firmly believes that there is absolutely no ground to fear new labor troubles. He said five or six undesirable persons, who had been responsible for the labor agitation, fled from Cananea on the days following the strike, and at present the workmen are all satisfied. He studied the con ditions of the workmen, and thinks that they are better than the aver age among laborers in the republic, and not inferior to that of miners in some foreign countries.
 Speaking of the mining develop iuent in Sonora, Mr. Corral said that the progress has been great, and that the future of mining enterprises in that state is assured. All along the Sierra Madre, pros pecting has been very successful, and the number of properties ac- quired and in operation, is increas- ing very rapidly.
 The. only trouble is caused by the Yaqui Indians. While there are only little bands of five or six Yaqui bandits scattered over great distances and now being pursued and captured by the troops, they appear sometimes on the high roads, causing alarm to the inhabi. tants of those sections. The con dition, however, has improved to a great extent. The pacification of the Indians has been successful, notwithstanding the wide area that it is necessary to protect and the fact that the Indians are scattered and, therefore, can easily conceal themselves. Mr. Corral hopes that the day is not far distant when the i Yaqui troubles will be matter of the past. The local authorities, aided by the federal government, have things we'll under control, and the cases of assault and murder, that some years ago were frequent, are becoming more and more rare.
 The trip wonld have been very pleasant for Mir. Corral throughout, had it not been for the death of his little son, which occurred while he was in Standardization Herald.

DON RAMON CORRAL.
Vice President Corral on Return to the City of Mexico Tend cred Most Cordial Reception.

The yice-president of the repub- lie. Mir. Ramon Corral, arrived in this city yesterday morning at 6:30 o'clock, over the Mexican Central, after a two months trip to the northern states, Sonora and Sina- loa.
 Mir. Corral was met at the sta ton by President Diaz, and by many of his friends, as we'll as the officers of the department of in- terior, of which he is the head.
 While in Sonora and Sinaloa, he received many demonstrations of high esteem from the local auth critics as we'll as on the part of the people. He is a native of Sonora, where for several years he was at the head of the government, until he came here as governor of the federal district, and a short time later the secretary of the interior. Since that time he had been absent from the state.
 Mir. Corral returned via Guay- mas, San Bias, Topic and Guada- laiara, and everywhere he was heartily welcomed. From Guay- mas he went to San Bias, stopping at Mazatlan for a short time on board of the steamer Ramon Cor ral' of the Pacific Navigation com pany. General Francisco Canedo, governor of the state of Sinaloa, was among those who came with him to Mexico.
 At San Marcos, the end of the Guadalaiara branch, he was met by his son, Ramon Corral, Jr.; Captain W. L. Mix, and Ignacio Vidaurreta. A car of the presi- dential train was there awaiting for Mir. Corral and party. Manuel Cuesta Gallardo. Lie. Enrique Tor res Torija, and Lie. Manuel Urru- churtu joined the party at Guada- lajara. Lie. Rosendo Pineda, Lie. Miguel Macedo, Lie. Pablo Macedo, Lie. Roberto Nufiez, Ricardo Otero Francisco Monteverde, Lie. Carlos Garza Cortina and Ignacio Carran- "a started from here on Thursday and met the party at Ocotlan
 All along the road, especially at Guadalajara and Queretaro, Mir. Corral's friends gathered at the stations, to salute and greet him.
 At the Buenavista station the police band was sent by Col. Felix Diaz. The band played a number of selections.
 Besides President Diaz, who was the first to shake hands with Mir. Corral, were present: Minister of Finance Jose Ives Limantour, Minister of Fomento Olegario Mo- Ina, Lie. Joaquin D. Casasus, Lie.

BOARD OF TRADE.

i4N AN 6 hAAi HRthi AbtNbllIE O1 the Board of Trade was held Tues day evening, Agust 18th, there being seven directors present, among them Mr. k. D. Miller and Mir. Jos. E. Wise, two of the new members of the Board.
 The meeting was called to order by Mir. E. Titcomb, who moved that Mir. H. M. Chapman be elected temporary chairman of the meet ing. The motion having carried, Mir. Chapman took the chair, and announced that the first business before the new Board would be the election of officers. MT. Schuck- mann nominated Mir. E. Titcomb for president, which nomination was seconded by Mir. Miller. Mir. Schuckmann moved that the secre- tary cast the unanimous ballot of the board for Mir. Titcomb, and upon the secretary announcing the casting of the vote, the new presi- dent was received with applause by the other members, and taking the chair, called for nominations for secretary. Mir. Rathbun was nominated, and there being no other nominations, the former secretary was elected for the en- suing term. Nominations for 1st vice president were then called for and Mr. Bracey Curtis, the former incumbent, was unanimously elected to succeed himself, as also was Mir. H. NJ. Chapman, the retir- ing 2nd vice president. The elec- ton of officers was completed by the choice of Mir. H. NJ. Clagett for a second term as treasurer, and the president then proceeded to ap- point the standing committees for the ensuing year. Following is the list of committees:
 FINANcE-Wm. Schucl;mann, chairman, Con O'Keefe, H. w. Kelsey, Jos. E. Wise, NJ. Escalada.
 ADvERTIsING-H. NJ. Chapman, chairman; c. M. Rathbun, E. D. Miller.

 TowN IMPRovEMENTs-H. W. Kelsey, chairman; Con O'Keefe, I. Surgeon.
 IRRIGATIoN-H. NJ. Chapman, chairman; Jos. E. Wise, c. NJ. Rathbun.
 Following the appointment of permanent committees, the secre- tary read the minutes of the last regular meeting of the Board of Directors and followed with his report for the two weeks last past. This report showed number of letters sent out and several in- quiries received from outside parties. The secretary also read his report on the Santa Cruz Gaug- ing Station for the month of July, which showed the station to be in good shape financially and other wise.
 Under head of Unfinished Busi- ness the matter of sending two delegates from this section to the Irrigation Congress, to be held in September was taken up and Mir. Chapman and Mir. Wise were chos- en as delegates to represent the Board at that convention. Under the same head letter was read

FAuLT.FlNDlNG IS EASY.

While we are not essentially a
kicker, we cannot but commend the
spirit of the following, taken from
the Stephen Leader:
We want to hear just one sermon
from the man who can beat the
preacher preaching. We want to
witness one days teaching by the
same fellow who can beat the
teacher teaching. We want to watch
the fellow do a days blowing who
can beat the farmer farming. And
there's the fellow who knows more
about medicine than all the doctors
in the universe; we want to see him
practice his art on himself for just
one day. And then there is the
fellow who can beat the editor ten to
one in getting out paper. We
want to see what kind of a sheet he
would issue from the press. The
trouble with such fool characters is
that they cannot attend to their own
business, and therefore think they
know all about that of other people"

EGGS.

The egg is an article of commerce,
where once it was an article of food.
AS the boys of years ago used to
begin their essays: There are many
kinds of eggs.
There is the boiled egg, the fried
egg, the poached egg, the scrambled
egg and the omelet with cheese.
Napoleon once observed that you
cannot make an omelet without
breaking some eggs-but he did not
have the latter-day wisdom to add
that until you break the eggs you
cannot decide whether or not to
make an omelet.
Twenty years ago none of us
would have thought of taking an
egg and putting it on ice until prices
went up. If prices were high we
blamed it on the weather and looked
accusingly at the hens. Now when
the price of eggs goes so high that
we begin seriously to think of set
ting them in marquise rings, we
know that some astute person has
clamped the door of the storage
house.
The Chinese are said to eat eggs
that are five or ten years old, and to
consider them delicacies. We dc
the same, but not because we sub.
scribe to the sentiments of the land
where there are no laundries.
Eggs is eggs-and yet, but then,
so to speak.

OBSERVATIONS.

It's reasonable to expect a dark
man to be light on his feet.
It's a waste of time to get angry
if you have anything else to do.
AS lawbreaker the lawyer has
the rest of US beaten at the start.
Some men seem to think that long
hair will make up for brain short
age.
It's usually the want of opportun-
ity that enables man to boast of
his honesty.
Subtract the bigotry, egotism,
prejudice and self-interest from
many of our great men and there
wouldn't be much left.

PUBLIC WORKS BOARD
List oi Streets That May Be
 Paved This Year.

The board of public works met last night, Mayor Thoms presiding. Su- lperintendent Kilduff of the street de- pertinent submitted list of streets
 which he thinks ought to be paved
 this year in case the $200,000 paw ing bonds should be authorized They
 include Main and Chapel streets in Waterville, West Main from North Willow to the river, and portions of
 South Main, East Main. North Main. North Willow, Benedict. Elizabeth, Cooke. Cherry. Brown. Phoenix ave-
 nue, Canal, South Riverside, South Leonard, Bishop, Leavenworth, Grand, Dublin, Farm, Mill, Washington ave- nue and East Liberty. The engineer was instructed to submit estimates for each street. The superintendent
 also submitted a list of ASA streets where signs are to be placed. A con-
 munication was received from J. F.. Charters offering to furnish street signs for posts at $4.50 each and ones
 for poles and sides of building at
 s2.75.
 It was voted to buy new steam drill at an estimated cost of $225.
 A communication from the engineer
 stated that the cost of laying out the Meriden road from East Main street
 to the Mill Plain school would be
 about $8,000.
 The contract for repairs on the
 City hall, including new floor, was
 awarded to J. s. Goodwin for $845
 he being the lowest bidder. A check for $338 was received from the Bene- | dict & Burnham Manufacturing Go for wood bought from the city on the
 sewage disposal tract. The Misses
 Phoenix complained that owing to
 the condition of Fuller street their
 tenants cannot have mail delivered | at their homes. This matter will be taken up soon and the street worked to grade and walks laid thereon.
