RRYAN'S DOUBLE DEAD.

DALLAS, Tex, Jan. 18.-Chas. X
Wolf, known as the double of Will
lam J. Bryan, died of heart disease
at his home in this city. He was
sick less than ten minutes.
VOLTS physical, facial and vocal
resemblance of Bryan was so re-
markable that he frequently was
mistaken for the Nebraska states
man and often made catchy short
speeches that added to the decep-
ton. He practiced this to notable
extent at the national meeting of
Ells in Philadelphia last July.

This was the beginning of an as
ISOLATION that developed into some
thing close to personal friendship.
Corbett was clever and well-posted.
He knew all the local politicians
and officials, and was familiar with
the gossip concerning them. While,
in an effort to produce readable
copy" he took some liberties with
his subjects, he was perfectly
frank about it, and there never was
anything in his inventions that was
in the least harmful.
The reporter entertained Darnell
and Mason while they were passing
from hall to hall, and incidentally
he threw some strang sidelights on
various political characters. He
was inclined to be cynical, but
never bitter.
What do you suppose the Old
Man is going to do with you?" he
asked, one evening.

do with us!" repeated Mason,
recalling with some anxiety the
overtures that had previously been
made to him.
"Of course" returned Corbett.
"You don't suppose for minute
that he hasn't some plans, do you?
That isn't his style. Now, you," to
Mason, had him on the hip, and
he had to surrender; and you," to
Darnell, have been given free rein
to do about as you please; but
don't you ever take your eyes off
the old man. He hasn't played his
had out yet. and he isn't in politics
for his health. Some day, when
you're not looking, he'll try to put
the harness on you. Oh, know the
Old Man! It's a certainty he'd
land either one of you alone, but
well, coupled, don't know but I'd
put small bet on you myself"
well, we're coupled" laughed
Darnell, "and we intend to stay
coupled. So far as possible We'll
make it both or neither"
you can have my money as
serted Corbett, promptly. with the
start you have, and running easily
together, | believe you could win
now, even if the old man tried to
| head you Off"
Ryan was not exactly pleased
with all that Corbett said and did,
but he had too much sense to show
it. The reporter was doing good
work, and Ryan could not afford to
| quarrel with SO valuable a press
agent, when notoriety was desired.

Isn't he showing right now that

CHAPTER Y.
The Verdict of Society

| Inc Ferdlct OF society
| Society was uncertain how to
take the candidacy of Harold Oar
nell. Society is always fearful OF
making mistake in passing judg-
ment on anything out of the usual
line. Darnell could not very we'll
f, be ignored. Such a course would
not be safe. His social position was
too well established; his father was
too prominent; his mother was too
indispensable to the smart set. SO
| society chose to regard him as
champion, and to evince some pride.
in him, although, to avoid commit,
ting itself irrevocably it also joked.
This was at the beginning of the
campaign. Later it began to dawn
upon society that there was some
thing very common about politics,
and even a Darnell could not be
quite forgiven for being common.
He was associating with such dread
fully common people. Not only
that, but he bore himself like
common man. He treated the low
hest as his society, thus somehow
bringing discredit upon society,
which had accepted him as it's
equal. He had dropped society al
most entirely, and was associating
with people that society could not
countenance. He had been inter
viewed in Casey's saloon.
Just what society expected, So
ciety itself could not say, but it
certainly was not this. So society
began to shrug it's shoulders and
gossip. 1t was not prepared to con-
denim him outright, but it could
mildly and inferentially voice it's
disapproval. especially when he
was not present Society can be
anything but frank and straightfor.
ward.
Miss Hadley was quick to note
the change, but she said nothing. 1t
was not for her to defend him, and
she was not disposed to criticise.
AS a matter of fact, she was hurt
and offended. Since the day she
had expressed her views so strong
ly on mans duty to himself and
to the community, Darnell had
/
from her, and had given her no
more of his confidence. OF course.
she should have been gratified by
this evidence that he had taken the
| lesson to heart and was showing
| independence and strength Of char
acter, but she was not. In theory
it was all right; in practice there
was something lacking. She had
begun to realize how much satisfac-
ton she had derived from the
thought that she had inspired him
to do something. She would have
liked to feel that she still exertei
some influence
| Her pride made her resent his
sudden change Of demeanor. Their
friendship had been of long stand
ing, and she held that 1t was absurd
and childish for him to let so little
a matter make a break in their
friendly relations. Still, it was of
no moment to her, she told herself.
She had enough to claim her atten
ton, anyway.
But she studied the newspapers
as never before She followed the
campaign as closely as any of the
political managers, and she was
posted on every move that Darnell
made. Even a woman" she said,
by way Of excusing herself to her
accusing heart, Ought TO know
something about local political
question" Then, as If to show the
insincerity Of the excuse. she en-
tered into spirited defense of
Darnell when her father spoke

Besides. Cofbett helped out as
master of ceremonies. He was on
familiar terms with many outside
of the coterie with which Ryan was
intimate. He brought the little
party in contact with practically
everyone, and wide acquaintance
is not the least desirable thing in q
political campaign. especially when
the candidates have in them the
elements of popularity.

Alfalfa Mil for Kennewick.

Another new industry which is now
practically assured for Kennewick. is
an alfalfa mill. Sufficient capital
has been subscribed by local busi-
hess men to insure the completion
Of a $4,000 mill and 1t is expected that
construction work will begin as soon
as the details are submitted to the
stockholders.
It is the intention Of the promot-
ers to grind the alfalfa into various
kinds of meal for horse food, COW
food, hog food and. in fact, every
kind of stock food for which alfalfa
is known to be especially adapted.
The immense production of alfalfa
in this section leads the investors to
the belief that no better locality could
be selected in Washington than Ken
newick for such an enterprise. In
addition to being close to where the
seed is produced, the mill would
make an additional market for al

N0RMALS REPORT
WESTON SCHOOL LEADS
IN ATTENDANCE.
Detailed Report of the Secretary Of
the Normal Board Shows Flatter-
ing Progress for Eastern Oregon
+ SchoOl-Highest Enrolment for
Weston's Normal.

c. S. Starr secretary of the board
of normal school regents, last even
ing completed his report for the
fourth month of the first semester
of the school year, says the Salem
Statesman. The report gives COM
prehensive idea of the work Of the
normal schools OF the state and is
withai a very interesting document
II will be remembered that in 1907
an appropriation was made that was
designed to carry the normal schools
through until 1909, Recently a
change was made in the manner of
attending to the work of supervision
OF the schools, the details now being
in the hands of the board of regents
exclusively.
That the change will be beneficiai
is evident. as the board is now get
ting matters in such shape that 1t
will know at any and all times just
the financial and professional stand
ing of all normals. 1t is thought that
this new system of close supervision
will enable the schools to get through
the year 1908 without any deficit
The schools at Drain and Mon
mouth are conducted on donations,
tuition and other receipts of the
schools and the records of the board
indicate that there will be no diff
Guilty in securing sufficient funds to
operate the schools to the close OF
the year.
The report just completed by Mr..
starr and which has been submitted
to the board, of which the governor
is the ex-officio head, gives the fol-
lowing figures regarding each school:

ary /, 40; average number students

ance, SO; tuition fees collected, s776.-

This amount will be greatly reduced
by several outstanding claims. The
Weston school has spent several hun
dred dollars for repairs and large
amount for a two years supply of
wood, and will need nothing more in
these lines until 1909
The secretary's report has been
considerably delayed owing to the
fact that that data from the Ashland
school has been slow in arriving.

and that he would further show that
Donahue could not have shot Chaves

near the body and who Romero fol-
lowed but did not overtake; also
that there was row in the saloon
previous TO the killing and that he
would show who started the ow;
