BRYAN BUSY
His Defense of William R. Hearst Was inc Topic of Ge1eral
 Conversation
DELEGATES ARRIVING

Lincoln, Neb, July 3.-That Will liam J. Bryan would have busy day to-day was evidenced as early as o'clock in the morning, when deie- gations en route to Denver began arriving on incoming trains. The delegates from many states are scheduled to reach here during the day and in anticipation of the large influx of visitors MT Bryan took ad- vantage of comparatively quiet evening to retire early and get good nights sleep.
 The topic which became of keen interest was MT Bryan's defense in to-day's Commoner of William k. Hearst and his independence party. While the article is not given moro than second page prominence it is considered significant by many hat he should at this time take up aad defend MT Hearst's attitude and sin cerity
 Delegates who are willing to ex- press themselves on the subject be- lieve that MT Bryan is not only wi!- ling to make peace with the New York man, but will go so far as to make overtures to that end in the event of his finding the independence party leader in receptive mood. One Kentucky delegate stated the be- lief that the result will be that the Independence party, when it holds its convention, will endorse Mir Bryan for the presidency, or possibly accept the whole ticket.
 The wording of the article, which is entirely of an editorial nature, leaves little doubt that MT Bryan is in sympathy to a great extent with the reforms advocated by MT Hearst and sums up the platform of Hearst in manner which many say is pmre- ly in the way of extending the olive branch to MT Hearst.
 The people of Lincoln are trying to give the reception to outside dele gations visiting the city a touch of non-partisanship, and prominent re- publicans, taking an appreciatlye pride in having for their chief pri- vate citizen the prospective demo- cratic candidate for president, are joining heartily in the movement to entertain the thousands who are making brief stops in Lincoln. Mayor Brown has asked the people of the city to aid in this entertainment. While there is a large reception con,- mittee which gives it's entire atten- tion to this feature. it's members will be joined during the next few days by committees appointed by the se- cret societies.
 The greater number of delegations to visit Lincoln will come Sunday. when delegates from no less than twenty states are expected to be in the city.
 Following a day and evening of intermittent showers, during which the democratic leader found it neces- sary to receive callers at a dogn town hotel, the weather cleared dur ing the evening and gave promise Of more favorable conditions for the en- tertainment of callers to-day. The road to Fairview was soon dried out sufficiently to make it easy going for carriages and pedestrians.

NORTHERN LIGHTS IN EUROPE,
Heavens Brilliantly Illuminated for
 Two Successive Nights.

Berlin, July 3.-Remarkable lights were observed in the northern heavens on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. the bright diffused white and yellow illuminations continuing throughout the night and disappear ing at dawn. Herr Archenbold, di- rector of the Treptow observatory. says that because of the phenomc- non's particular brilliancy he thinks it may be connected with important changes on the suns surface, caUs- ing electrical discharges.
 Herr Archenbold mentions a somc- what similar phenomenon in 1883, which was directly traceable to an outbreak of Krakatoa volcana in the Straits of Sunda. Reports from Copenhagen and Koenigsberg tell of the same great lights being visible in those cities and it is presumed that they were visible throughout northern Europe.

The Carnival.

Lincoln County's fruit and vege-
table carnival in session here is be-
ing well attended by people from
all parts of the county. The ex-
hibits, while not so many as at
some previous fairs, are as good and
in many instances far excells any
exhibits ever before displayed.
The largest display from any one
locality is that of Chitwood's, which
is of great quality and will carry off
many prizes.
The colt show yesterday afternoon
proved interesting. Several entries
were made and some fine colts were
exhibited. Andrew Nye carried off
the special prize of SO given by
Hall q Anderson for the best colt
sired by Mark Hanna.
The football game between Siletz
and Toledo High School resulted in
a victory for Toledo by score of
16 to II.
The speeches at Woodmen Hall
last evening delivered by Col. E..
Hofer, president of the Willamette
Valley Development League, and
Hon. Wallis Nash were instructive
and entertaining. Both gentlemen
are good speakers.
The school children's demonstra-
ton in the afternoon was one of the
best features of the carnival.
This afternoon at 2 o'clock will
be held the good roads meeting,
which will be interesting and well
attended.
Toledo and Siletz teams will play
ball this afternoon. This will be a
