NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS
' DECLARE FOR BRYAN
Laudatory Resolutions Passed Favoring
the Peerless One Platform Built by
Bryan Necessarily Incomplete So as
to Have New Planks Framed.
i'.uaiia, .Mann 7 The democratic
state convention, which adjourned yes
tonlay, adopted the lolliiwinj,' rosolu
turn:
"Tin- IVmocrutic inrty of N'..lrask;
iiKaiii declares eontulenco in and ml
rut ion for William .1. llrvau. In
linn we behold tlie ideal American citi
zen, tlie iileal democrat. We rejoici
that the principles which he lias ad
vocatod have lieen (jladly received and
are now generally accepted liy tin
American people.
"Kesolved, That the delegates liy
this convention chosen lie and are
hereby instructed to vote as a unit for
the nomination of Bryan for the pres
idency. '
Platform Built by Bryan.
The platform ns a whole was largely
Mr. Bryan 'h own work. That it re
fleeted the leader's views as to what
should form the issues upon which the
party should go lietore the country next
summer was not denied. Mr. hrynn.
however, said that the declarations of
he platform were necessarily incom
plete; that, some subjects which would
undoubtedly lie included in the na
tional platform were omitted, while
others were treated' in the Nebraska
document in a purposely brief manner
so ns to allow nniplification at Pen
ver.
The platform advanced little that
was new. The Fowler and Aldrich
currency bills were condemned. F.mer-
geney curr y, il was declared, should
be "issued and eont rolled by the fed
eral government. " Immediate revision
of the tariff was enudiasized ns a
necessity, the " standpal " ' policy being
ridiculed in terms that made the dele
gates shout with laughter. A straight
declaration in opposition to Asiatic
immigration and a clause favoring the
eight hour working day were decided
ly popular. So. ton, were the para
graphs favoring extension of irrigation
and reclamation projects.
No Mention of Ownership.
An indorsement of the llrago doc
trine, insofar as thai doctrine applies
to the I'nilcd Stales navy, and a dee
laration that jury trials should be
granted defendants in contempt cases
where the alleged offense was commit
ted outside the presence of the court,1
caused some notice. One of the well
appliiudcd clauses was that dealing with
anarchy.
There was no reference to govern
ment ownership in the platform;
neither was there a "personal liberty"
clause therein.
Ilryan reeeivnl n tuiniilt uous ovation
at the hands of an immense audience
when lie delivered his speech.
Johnson, Peter Potersteiner and Harry
I'orpron, during which Mr. Johnson re
ceived the wouud in his right eye which
lid to his death, occurred in the Klam
ath saloon. The wound was probably
caused by a broken billiard cuo pene
trating the eye, but whether inflicted
by Petcrstciner or Corpron or by him-
sett, through accident was a point verv
hard to determine, and the evidence has
not been sufficient to convince the jur
ors, who have for tn weeks heard the
evidence, first in the rurpron case and
then in the l'etersteiner case, that either
of these men inflicted the mortal wound,
though inuny witnesses were exumined
and the attorneys on both sides did per
sistent and able work.

AMUSEMENTS.
"The Black Crook.
The HtiDouuvemeiit for the Medfonl
Opora House for Thursday, March V2,
is "The Muck Crook" production by
Messrs. Miller and l'lohn, a spuetaeu-
lar melodrama which was first pro-
hi cod in the year IStitf at Xiblo's gar
Jen, Xew York, under tho management
f Jarrett & Palmer, and which had at
that time a phenomenal run of 475 eon
utive performances. It was after
wards revived a number of times, the
most notuble revival being that of Eu
gene Tompkins, when "The Black
Crook " had another phenomenal run
in Xew York at the Academy of Mu-
wheru it was given for 316 times
succession. It was also played at
one time by tho Kiralfy Brothers, who
were very successful with it, but it is
u new version that is now being used
by Messrs. Miller and Plohn, In this,
the piny is divided into three aets, and
Pportunity given for a greater quan
tity of scenic display and an ontirely
new production in promised.
Fait the Magician.
A. crowded house greeted Fait the
Great at tho Opera House last night,
and tho audience got the worth of its
money, for they witnessed many clover
feats in legedermain and mind-reading.
Both Prolessor Fait and his wifo are
skilled entertainers and rank at the
top notch of thoir profession. How they
lo the things that they did puzzles not
only the audience but the committed of
investigation as well. Nothing quite
so clever has been seen in Medford be
fore.
Ip night there will be a special pro
gram ot teats in hypnotism and the
est program of the course will be
given, entirely different from that of
previous evenings, and well worth witnessing.
MINING NEWS AND NOTES.
(Ashland Tidings.)
The Ashland nal M itiiug company
has begun active devrlnpnifiit work on
its property, situated four miles east of
Ashland. Tlie lower incline tunnel, in
which a live foot laer of lignite eon
Iwas being opened up, was abandoned
last tail on .lecmmt of an excess of
water. This incline has recently been
drained and the coal measures will be
blocked out ready for extraction.
The mines ' manager of t he I 'het l;o
Copper i'oinp:iiiy returned from the
property last week. He reports that the
tunnel, being run into the steep nimni
tain side on the trend of the vein, is
being steadily pushed forward. The
tunnel is in all-ore that averages 11 per
cent copper and gold. At tlie
inner end of the tunnel February a
cross cut was started hi order to ascer
tain the exact width of the on1 body,
which on the surface shows to be fully
1MO feet wide. Judging from the many
reliable reports regarding Hie richness
and extent of the ore bodies, the ( hetko
copper is destined to become one of the
great cupper and gold producers of the
west. It being adjacent to a good sen
port on the Pacific ocean and having
an immense wnterpower of its own, are
two points that will enable the r.Hnp.ui.
to produce copper cheaply.
The Star Cold Mining company,
which owns L'l lode claims adjacent to
the "old Ashland mine" to the south
west, is about to begin further exten
Hive development of its properties.
C. W. Kvans nf the Ashland mining
office reports a decided activity in min
ing matters in and about Ashland.

developing good showing prospects, ami

Peudletou Lawyer Agreed Upon by Or
egon Delegation as Bristol's Suc
cessor Went to School to Hawley
and Practiced Under Ellis.
WASHINGTON', March 7. John
McCourt of Pendleton, who was a stu
dent at Willamette university under
Representative Hawley, who practiced
law before Kepresentative Ellis, as a
judge, who is a warm personal friend
of Senator Fulton, but who is ubso-
lutelv unknown to Senator Bourne, was
unanimously recommended by the Ore
gon delegation for United States dis
trict attorney. His nomination is ex
pec ted next Monday aud, if it material
izes, he will be promptly confirmed.
Mr. Fulton endeavored to get the
delegation together to call on the pres
ident and discuss the district attorney
ship. Mr. Bourne declined to go and
Mr. Hawley was unable to go, so Mr.
Fultoii and Mr. Ellis went alone. The
president was verv anxious that the
delegation act promptly in submitting
its recommendation, so the meeting
was held in Mr. Fulton's room. Mr.
McCourt 's selection was the result.
Mr. Bourne did not have any can
didate, but, us anticipated, undertook
further to postpone action. In this he
was unsuccessful, for his colleagues
were as anxious ns tho president to
huve the matter cleared up, and they
very quickly agreed upon Mr. McCourt
as a man thoroughly competent to fill
tho offico and ouo who, it is believed,
meets nil requirements imposed by the
president. Mr. Bourne 's acquiescence
was purely formal, fur, as stated, he
does not know M r. McCourt. If he
had other preferences, he did not make
them known.
The recommendation of Mr. McCourt
not only prevents Chris Schuebel's ap
pointment ns successor to W. C. Bris
tol, but ulso makes it impossible for
him to become assistant district attor
ney. Had T. J. Cleeton been appoint
ed, Mr. Schuebel would have been his
assistant. Xow he gets nothing.

NEW FRATERNAL SOCIETY
IN SOUTHERN OREGON
Grand Secretary Moorehead, assisted
by Mr. Lovelace, who has been work
ing up the matter, organized a branch
of "The Stupor of the World" at
Grants Pass a few nights ago. There
are 55 charter members, comprising res
idents of Jackson and Josephine coun
ties, aud the new order starts out un
der promising auspices. It is not an
order for mining men alone, but all
persons who are directly or indirectly
interested in the mining industry are
to have a part iu its work. Among
other laudable aims, it will propose to
do away with all " wildcatting ' and
such harmful practices.
