BRYAN AND KERN.
At last Democrats will have the
privilege of voting for a ticket that 1
democratic through and through one
hat is truly representative of deni
ocrntlc sentiment. In both his form
er campaigns Bryan had a heavy load
to carry in the vice presidential noni
inee; now lie lias a running mute
who Instead of being a detriment
will help to bear the banner of true
democracy onward to victory.
The head of the ticket is the best
known man now lit public life not
only In America but in the whole
world. For twelve years his life has
been an open book known and read
of all men and the better he is
known the more he Is loved and hon
ored.
Mr. Kern is a new man In natloual
politics and many are the Inquiries
about his antecedents. In our citv of
Bryan yesterday there were perhaps
half a hundred people who asked the
same question: "Is he a millionaire?"
He is not a wealthy man; on the con-
trary he gave as the reason why he
refused to seek the nomination that
he was too poor to stand for the ex-
pense. He Is a successful lawyer
but comparatively poor. Twice he has
been honored by the Democrats of his
State with the nomination for gov
ernor and though defeated he ran
ahead of the ticket both times. The
fact that he wai the choice not only
cf his own S'ate. Indiana but also
of Kentucky. Illinois and Iowa: In
fact of all the States of the Middle
West which is to be the battle
ground of this campaign shows the
wisdom of his selection. If other
evidence were needed his nomination
by acclamation without a dissenting
voice Is sufficient. Through all of
Mr. Bryan's national career. Mr. Kern
has been his faithful friend and ally.
The personal relations of the two
men are those of intimate friendship.
start was made at 5:15 a. ni. and a
brisk drive brought the party to the
camp of tho road graders near Prov
idence church where Mr. nob Mc
niuuuii me superintendent nnd a
good warm brenkfast awaiting for
which the fresh morning air hud giv
en euch of the party a good appetite.
The location of the camp was se
lected because of Its convenience to
construction work on the Jones
bridge the Providence and the Kop
pe bridge roads. Mr. McMahan's
force is now on the Jones bridge roa.l
which ho is grading and ditching in
the best approved style. The most
necessary work on each of the other
ronds has been done and Mr. Me-
Malum will continue the construction
until all three are put in the best
possible condition.
The late flood did. considerable
lamage to the Jones bridge. An Im
menae pile of drift lodged aguinst the
ty. A large force of United States
murines has been distributed over the
little republic to prevent threatened
disorders at the polls.
King Edward will formally open tho
great Olympic- stadium in Shepherd's
Uush Monday. The games will begin
next day and from then until July
the greatest aggregation of athletes
the world has ever seen will struggle
for the mustery.
During the week the officers an. I
men of the American battleship fleet
will be entertained on a magnificent
scale at Honolulu.
Commissioners representing the
United States and Franco will meet In
Paris to discuss the proposed new
commercial arrangement between the
two countries.
Canada will be Interested In the
completion of the preparations for the
Quebec Tercentenary celebration and

effort will be made to restore them
to their proper position but It Is not
certain that this can be done. The
approach to the bridge on the west
side was carried away bodily. A
trestle of false work made almost en
tlrely of rough timber from the for

as the water went down. It Is a flim

for heavy loads. As soon as practica-

of the long span of 280 feet was near

Before this occurred the trestle of the
eastern approach had been erected
but It had to be taken down and
new abutment will be built furthe
buck from the bank. Midway between
this and the twin piers at the eas
end of the main span a substantia
pair of concrete piers will be erected
livlding the eastern approach Into two
sections. The bridge will thus be
made secure even though the ont Ire
loosened section of (lie bank should
slide into the river.
When completed the Koppe- bridge
will be a grand viaduct and will do
much to promote the development of
the adjacent portions or Brazos and
Burleson counties.
The Eaglo man took advantage of
the opportunity to observe the grow-
ing crops. On the uplands the corn
is liiado and it is evidently one of the
best In the history of Brazos county.
Upland cotton looks all right but
there Is no telling what the boll wee-
vil may do to It. In the bottom the
crops are less promising. Indications
at present do not point to more than
half a crop of either corn or cotton

stories about the revolution in Mexi-

amusement for the people in San An-

matter of fact this revolutionary
movement has been brewing for three

in this city where several arrestF
have been made and trials held. The
revolution Is however confined to a
few discontented people and Is not
regarded seriously by those who ar
