He did It In order to help Bryan and the democratic party. No ,doubt Taft. from a capitalists' standpoint, Is re ore desirable than Bran.

It Is not certain that the pas eenger service Into Wallowa county is to be Inaugurated with a popular ex cursion, two weeks from yesterday, Officials are unable to state definitely If such wllr, be the case. All available .V.'.l.-.i stock is now handling the colo nist travel and as there are other reasons why it should not be done, it possible that the- excursion . plan will be dropped. There will be, how. ever, a visit again by the offllcals who will go over the road the day before the service starts, and, as they did yesterday, Inspect evxery detail care fully. It Is the general opinion that the excursion will be supplanted- by the officials' tra(n of final Inspection. Shoots Ills Wife. Palo Alto, Sept 7.
