Bryan's most intimate friends and
supporters are quite determined N the
situation. While they do not 'penly
criticise Johnson's candidacy thy are
very evidently displeased with tie fact
that he entered the race, and it 5 even
intimated that Bryan himself would
not favorably consider Johnson's candi-
dacy for the vice presidency.

Gray Entirely Acceptable

On the other hand it is know Judge
Gray will be in every way acceptable
to Bryan as candidate for secod place
and the position is generally conceded
to him if he will accept it. Ifshe nom

Urgent Need Of Reform.

Our present system, or rather no sys.
TEN, works dreadful wrong, and Is of
benefit to only one class of people-the
lawyers. When n workman is injured
what he needs Is not an expensive and
doubtful lawsuit. but the certainty of
relief through immediate administra-
tive action. No academic theory
about freedom OF contract" or "consti-
tutionnl liberty to contract should be
permitted to interfere with this and
similar movements.
Pending n thoroughgoing invostiga-
tion and action there is certain legis-
lation which should be enacted Mt once.
The law. passed at the last session of
tho congress granting compensation to
certain classes OF employees OF the gov
ernment should be extended to include
all employees OF the government and
should be made more liberal In It's
terms. There Is no good ground for
the distinction made in the law be-
tween those engaged In hazardous oc-
cupatlons and those not so en-
gagged. The terms of tho act pro-
viding compensation should be made
more liberal than In tho present
act. A years compensation Is not nde-

as they are already on the ground
and can for that reason figure closer
than the outside firms.
The local company now erecting
the foundation has made great head

overcome Three sides OF the foun-
dation are now about complete and
the remaining wall will be finished
before the end OF the week. The
basement is seventeen feet below
the surface and the seventeen-foOt

great depth Was necessary In order
to install the gravity system. which
will furnish power for elevator and

cost the expense is practically nil.

INCORPORATE CITIZENS BUILD
ING AND LOAN.
PROMOTERS ALLLOCAL MEN
Purely Mutual, and Stockholders
Only Will Profit by Earnings.
No High Salaried Officers.
Growth Of City Will
Furnish Business.

Another quarter-million dollar
has been formed in
Greeley. On Tuesday Attorney Jos.
G. Ewing sent to the secretary of
state articles of Incorporation for
the Citizens Building & Loan as
sociation, the capital stock of which
is $250,000. This makes two build
ing and loan associations in Greeley.
and at the present growth of the
city, there is no doubt room for both
of them, especially as both are local
affairs and operated entirely on the
mutual plan. This prevents the
earnings from going into the pockets
of high salaried officers.
OF the quarter-million capital
stock, 100000 has already been sub
scribed, and at meeting of the pro-
moters, the following men were
elected directors of the association:
c. Rugh, produce man; Chas. E. Car
ter, superintendent of city schools;
Edwin Starkey, president Farmers
Supply & Machinery Co.. c. l.
Moore, produce man; S. F. Martin.

The expenses will be practically no.

will be a secretary at about $25 per

the inclemency of the weather.
The first part of the evening was
enjoyed perhaps more than the la

piano. The audience was agreeably
pleased by the excellent technique of
these Greeley artists.
The vocal solo by Miss Davis. the
piano solo by Miss Mead and the
cornet solo by DR.. DUNCAN, were of
the most enjoyable selections, the
latter being the soloist's own com
position The piano duett by Misses
Graham and Dauer deserves special
mention. for these young ladies are
pianists OF unusual ability. The part
singing of the Ya-ha-ki-te club was
excellent, and said to be the hest
class singing ever heard in this city.
The club consists of sixteen young
ladies OF the Normal school. and un-
der the direction of Prof. Fitz. This
club will sing next Saturday after
noon at o'clock p. m. at the city
High school for the County Teachers
At the close of the musical pro-
gram. baptismal service was held.
A young lady who made the confes-

to be congratulated upon their
unique ideas OF entertainment and
success or welcoming the new mem
bers and guests.
