Bryan will Also Declare the
Platform Of Party
IT NOW SEEMS LIKELY
Nearly Everybody Believes the Nebras'
kan Already Has Two-thirds of Con-
vention on the First Ballot--Gray
and Johnson Won't Unite.

Denver, July 2.---It begins to lool
like simple case Of arithmetic so fai
as the nomination of yice.president and
the determination of q Democratic plat.
form is concerned. Search fails to re.
veal more than three persons not viii
ling to wager that Bryan will have
more than the necessary two-thirdt
vote on the first ballot. These are
Frederick B. Lynch, custodian of the
johnson boom and the promoters of the
Cray candidacy.
The Bryanites claim at least $50
votes on thS initial roll call. 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that the, second man on
tie ticket and the platform must be ac.
ccptable to the Nebraskaii., A boost
was given today to the candidacy Of
w. G. Conrad of Montana, native Of
Virginia and Simon pure Bryanite by
reason of instruction by the Montana
state convention. His boomers expect
the South also to support him for vice,
president.
The arrival yesterday of the person
al representatives of Judge Gray and
Governor johnson, the only candidates
who are now expected to enter the race
against Bryan has failed to disclose
any common ground of agreement be.
tween them.
The Gray managers asserted that
they had no intention of entering into
coalition with the followers Of Cover
nor johnson and had not received from
them or made to them any overtures
for combination. The same disclaim-
er Of desire to pool issues was made
by the johnson people after their ar
rival last night. They said that they
had no other object in view but the
nomination of Governor johnson and
intended to make their fight for that
purpose only.
This attitude which the Gray and
johnson people have assumed has led
stp considerable conjecture OF a vice
pfesidentia1 character. The followers
of Mr.. Bryan profess to believe that
the refusals of the Gray and Johnson
men to make a combined fight against
the strength Of Mr.. Bryan means that
they are averse to occupying positions
in which they can avail themselves of
Bryan's votes for second place in the
event Of his nomination for the presi-
dcncy. On this point, however. both
Mr.. Lynch, for Governor johnson, and
Mr.. Marvel for Judge Gray, insist that
the Bryan people are utterly in the
wrong. Their men, they say, are out
for the first place and are given no con
sideration to the vice presidency.

That Peoples Gas Company
Extend Its Line
OR GIVE UP ITS FRANCHISE
Hearing Last Night by City Council on
Extension to Sixth Street Was
Deferred Until Next Monday
Evening.

The question whether the city council
shall require the Peoples Gas company
TO extend its main on North Main street
as far as sixth street, as the franchise
stipulates, was left undecided after
special hearing last night, at which
Treasurer Blanchard and Supt. Anker
requested exemption from the require
ment and Alderman Thurston had de.
manded that the company live up to
its charter or give it up. Aldermen
Alexander and Williams were absent,
and the council did not wish to take
final action without bull board.
Tne Peoples company admitted the
right of the city to compel the extension,
but pleaded that the business secured
thereby would not warrant the outlay,
while the managers said the company
was not flush enough with money to
bury it where there wouldn't be any
returns. On the other hand, the city is
planning to lay permanent street to
Fifth street, and wishes to have it per-
mament, that is, to have it dug up as
little as possible. Hence, the demand
that the gas pipe be put in at this
time.
Mayor Robins asked the gas company
representatives what the probable cost
OF the extension would be, and Supt.
Anker replied that it would be about
$500, as based on previous work. That
amount, the mayor thought, ought not
to be great handicap to the company,
and he considered it small thing to
kick about. The pipes are now Laid to
Third street, a point beyond which the
company expects that the returns would
be very light, as nine families is all
that the company thought it could figure
on getting down there,
Supt. Anker referred to the fact that
much OF the land betyeen Third and
sixth streets Is le-I. ~ NJ .e.ass ND
little likely to o,yston Da ,bst M ~ cav,d re-
poses; Which arseoh ehas he eouiu ie'
aI,larn., ~ time when there was only
:, house between the old Braley
! I'M IND the Thwing house, and the land
"a more swampy than the Third to
pIW
yxth street section, and now the terri
tory is covered with houses.
MIR. Anker also spoke of the fact that
the Peoples company is paying good
revenue to the city, the remark being
called forth BY the claim of Alderman
that the city gave away a
franchise six years ago and
that the stipulation for extension to
Sixth street had been oyerridden since
then til now. Make them live up to
their franchise or give it up" declared
the fourth ward alderman.
Treasurer Blanchard hardly believed
that the company would want to with
draw from the field, inasmuch as he at
least had faith in the chance for the
development OF a gas business in Barre,
although the returns thus far had not
reached expectations. lie said that the
OF gas per meter in Barre
IS at present only about one-haIf what
it is in other places of the same size;
but the month OF June Just passed had
been the best June in the history of the
concern.
After the pros and cons had been
heard, the council edcidcd to postpone
action until Monday night.

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.
PROMINENT MANUFACTURERS PREPARE FOR INCREASED BUSINESS.

In spite of the fact that this is a Presidential year we hear of many prominent manufacturers who are talk ing advantage of temporary Hull in business to increase their facilities rather than limit their operations. The latest report is that one of the largest watch manufacturers in the world, Robert Ingersoll & Brother, have just purchased the large factory of the Tren1 ton Watch Company at Trenton, New Jersey. Just as soon as the Lgersoll factory commences to operate which is expected very shortly it will employ between 1000 and 1,5O0 people. Such foresight on the part of the pioneers in the lowpriced watch industry is sure ly sufficient indication that the manu- lecturers throughout the country have every confidence in return of prosper ity on a solid basis.

The flowers that grow upon the brilliant rose bush are not all alike. Some more favored than others grow on the sunny side and by reason of this happy condition develop to the fullest extent possible into the beautiful blos- som, blossom most perfect in form, of the richest coloring and delicate tints burdened with the sweetest frag- rance and dainty perfume, a creation of great beautysand blessing earth. Others lot so favored grow upon the bush in places where the warm sun cannot send her rays and fail to reach them and they are dwarfed, ill-shapen, less bright in color and fragrance hard ly discernable, yet each contributes to the beauty of the parent bush. With out the dark shadows the bright lights are dim. And .so it is in life, those who are the most favored and have grown to maturity in the sunlight of happy surroundings, blessed with per- feet health and unknown to hardship and cares, have no right to look down upon or sheer at the unfortunate, or less brilliant ones, who, although seem- ingly worthless, yet may really be liv- ing quietly the purpose for which they were intended. Rather should those of t he greatest gifts and talents ever seek to encourage and help the weak that they may not fade and be lost but appear in their proper place in the Great Artists picture, and perhaps be of immense value forming a wondrous depth of background, upon which the great principle of love may stand out boldly, the gift which came to human ity on Christmas morn. Without the deep shaded background Qost human ity) there would have been no Christ mas gift.

DROPPED 5000 OUT OF CAR
 WINDOW.
BUT REC0yERS IT. THANKS TO THE HONESTY OF A SMALL BOY.

A New Milford lady, whose name is withheld out of consideration for her feelings, had an exciting and hair-lift- ing eXpereince when passing through Hawleyville, one day, last week. She had a small bag in which reposed $500 in money and bank books. On leaving BridgepOr Tt she had tried in vain to get the car window up, and other ladies tried to help her. Giving it up the bag was laid against the window. When the cars were rounding the curve above Haweyville, the window shotup with out assistance and out popped the bag on to the ground. She quickly notified a gentleman friend, who spoke to the Conductor Spencer. The train was stopped and the gentleman started back toward the station. M eanwhile tn bag was picked up by a lad, Ray Phil lips, who took it to the house of his uncle. 0. F, Terrill. Hawleyville's gen. ial marketman. Mir Ierrill, realizing the importance of the matter, started with the bag at once for the Hawley- vile depot and placed it in the hand of Agent J. A. James. The gentleman from the train came along soon, and MT James placed the $500 in his hands. To say that the lady was pleased is stating it mildly. The next day the boy was delighted with letter con- taining S5 from the lady whose proper ty he had so opportunely found.
