] Baltimore, Nd, June 26.-"Dark
4 horse" talk was more general today
about the convention than at any time
/ This was partly due TO the fact that
I the New York delegation had deter
mined to vote for mayor William J
Gaynor on the first ballot. The evident
purpose of this was TO get test on the
first ballot, though some said it showed
that he would be doomed for second
place.
Clark Has Advantage.
With the nominating session expect
ed to be held tomorrow, presidential
gossip filled the air. 1t seemed to be
admitted by all that speaker Champ
Clark would go into the convention
with a distinct advantage over all the
candidates.
Bryan advocates do not consider him
out of the running. They said his de-
feat for the temporary Craftsmanship
yesterday was in no sense a test OF
what his strength would be as the
presidential nominee. The Bryan fol-
lowers were hopeful that the nOmina-
alton fight might go to a fourth or
fifth ballot and thought in that stu
alton many of the delegates would go
to him.
Stampede Not Feared.
The Wilson people, who stood by Mr..
Bryan almost to a man in his fight for
the temporary Craftsmanship, expect his
support in return when 1t comes to
nominating and apparently based their
hopes of success upon some such action.
1t was realized by all that the two
thirds vote necessary to nominate in
the convention could be secured only by
a combination of some of the candidates
or by a stampede" of the delegates.
The leaders were in the belief that
there would be no stampede and said
they did not even fear Mr.. Bryan him
self in that respect
Friends of FOss Active.
Friends of Gov. FOss, Of Massachu-
sets, "papered" the Baltimore armory
this morning before the hour for the
assembling of the convention, with an
appeal TO the Democrats to nominate
the Massachusetts governor.
Thousands of copies Of a pamphlet
giving Gov. Foss's record and a circular
headed "Foss, the only Democrat who
can win" were distributed to call the
attention of the delegates as the time
arrived
Bryan Says He's Down.
Mr.. Bryan was told today that many
believed the vote indicated the cOnven-
ton was progressive and that he would
De able name the candidate for the
presidentil nomination.

that the convention would have tie re-

JUAREZ EXPECTED FEDERAL
ATTACk WEDNESDAY MORNING

The presence of Gen. Sanjines and
other federal commanders in FL PasO
during the last few days gave rise to
the rumOr in Juarez Tuesday night that
there would be an attack early in the
morning. The rUmor had the effect OF
having the rebel officers throw an ex-
ira guard throughout the streets and
the increasing of the mounted patrolinS
parties but the attack by the federals
did not occur.
The rebels are taking many precau-
tons against any surprise by the fed
erals and the least little rumor as to
the nearness of federal forces is be-
ing run down by the order of the COM
manders

$4,000 bales per year. The crop last
year. which, by the way was an un-
usually short one was approximately
$4,000 bales. A large portion Of this
vast amount of cotton is handled and
exported through Mariana.
Another very important and valuable
product of Jackson county is sugar
cane, and, naturally, the products from
this staple article are handled to a
great extent through the city Of
Mariana At Grand Ridge, a few
miles from the town, is one of the
largest sugar plantations in the state.
From this single plantation, to say
nothing of the others (of which there
are many, can be found syrup in al
most every state in the Union.
There are already a number of
Satsuma orange groves in the county
Of Jackson and the orange industry,
which Is one of the latest is fast be-
coming one of the largest Industries in
the county. It has been demonstrated
that oranges can be cultivated at
handsome profit In the county and
within a very few years this industry
bids fair to become a gigantic one.
All Of these facts have been potent
ones in encouraging and aiding the
growth and development of Mariana
and Jackson equity, but perhaps the
greatest of them all is the progressive
spirit of the citizens of Mariana,
which has recently asserted itself in
the Reorganization of the Mariana
Board OF Trade, which is composed of
the leading citizens Of the town and
which is doing all that IL caIr for the
upbuilding of the town and county,
and which is rapidly showing re-
suits.
Since its reorganization, the Board
of Trade has already assisted in
getting one new railroad to come to
the city and is now working for a
modern hotel and a large cotton mill
These are only few of the visible re-
suits Of the efforts put forth by these
progressive and ever alert citizens,
there being enough evidences OF a
lesser degree Of Importance to All this
entire paper.
The town Of Mariana is indeed to
be congratulated upon this splendid
Board of Trade and upon the secre-
tary and board OF directors, through

the remainder of West Florida and the
state, and some other roads are now
practically assured.
The depots in the city are better
than the average, while the connec-
tions and train service, both freight
and passenger, Of the roads operating
into the town are satisfactory and are
doing a splendid business.
Professional Men.
Nowhere can a more able, congenial
and contented body OF professional
men be found than here. In fact, this
town has contributed fully her share
of the leaders in the state in all Of
the professions.
If the stranger within her gates de-
sires the services of a lawyer, ply
stefan. a minister. an educator, an
Mariana is fully equal to the occasion
and can furnish as good as can be
had in most places.
There are at present engaged in &C
tual practice in Mariana fifteen law
yers, seven physicians, two dentists,
enc editor, four white ministers,
number of teachers and men in the
various professions and all Of them
are prosperous and are among the
ruos+ ardent boosters Of their town.
Her Enterprises.
Resides the business institutions al
ready mentioned some of the assets
of Mariana from a business stand
point are: Three hardware stores, two
furniture stores, four buggy and wagon
stores. three sales stables, two markets.
four drug stores, two department
stores. twelve general stores, one
wholesale business. one ice plant, one
fruit stand. one restaurant two gar
ages. two auto sales garages, six re-
pair shops, two bottling works. one
hardwood mill. one novelty works. one
saw mill. one planer one sash door and
blind works, two cotton warehouses
and one of the Invest boards Of trade

The Reasons.
There are a number of reasons why
Mariana is one Of the best moral,
religious, social, educational and in
dustrial towns in the state of Florida.
TIC begin with, as has been mention
ed it is the county site Of one of the
best counties in the best section of the
best state in the best country in the
word.

the Efforts and vigilance of it's citi-

count Of the fact that it is such a fine
structure, but because the building of
it marked the beginning Of an era of
progress for the county. AS soon as
this building was erected the people
of Jackson county began to realize
that in order to bring the county up
to the standard of the new court house
1t was necessary to make improve
nents along other lines, and since that
time many forward steps have been
tdken by her citizens and the value
of the county property has been raised
to a considerable degree.
Among the most recent actions of
tnis kind was the bonding of the
county for $500, 100000 for hard roads.
These roads are being built at this
time and by the time the $300,00000
is expended Jackson will be one Of the

all Of these years, while keeping
abreast of the progress of the times
and gaining rapidly in population and
wealth, it has lost none of its innate
culture and q pleasing air of re-
finement is particularly noticeable
among it's people. And, in this connec-
ton, it may be said that no place in
the world can surpass Old Mariana
when it comes to hospitality
The county of which this city is the
metropolis exports more raw cotton
than any other three counties in the
state, the output being from $4,000 to

comes to good roads.
Hotels and Boarding Houses.
Nobody goes to Mariana and has
trouble in finding adequate hotel or
boarding house accommodations. There
are two of the incest hotels to be
found in any town the size Of Mari
anna, besides three splendid private
boarding houses. The rates at all of
these places are reasonable and the
accommodations good. In fact, trav-
cling men and others who have ever
stopped at one Of Marianna's hotels
always want to go back.
Churches.
Mariana has four white churches
and an equal number of negro churches

the town IS of a degree rarely found
anywhere and is perceptible to the
