K ern today explained that Bryan 's offer to share the White House with him in the event of the victory of the :;t was a joke. Bryan had made the statement in Indiana last winter. Keni had been hailedas the next viee-presi-dent and had replied that he could not run for office, because he was too poor. Bryan had jokingly replied that if elected on the tieket with Kern he would share the White House with him, an a man who is good enough to be vice president is good enough to live in the White House. Gompers staled after his interview with Bryan that he merely came to Fairview to assure the candidate of his personal support. EAT PEOPLE TO KEEP ALIVE ST. PETERSBURG, duly i:t. Dis patches received here today say that conditions in Yakutsk province, Siber ia aro daily growing worse.

Showing evi dence of a brutal assault, the result of fiendish motives, the body of Hazel Brew, a beautiful HI year-old girl of Troy, was found floating today on the Surface of Teal pond, ten miles from the eity. The whole community is shocked and astounded at the discovery of the revolting crime, which recalls the drowning of (iraee Browu by L'seh ter Cillette in Big Moose lake. She had been uiisiug from home since July 'I, ami a persistent search result ed in no Iraee of the girl. The skull is crushed, and physicians who made an examination of the body say that the girl was assaulted and hor ribly malt real I'd before her death. Excitement has been increased by the testimony of several persons living on the road which leads from the city to the pond that on the evening of the I'ourth they 'saw a big automobile, with no lights, . pass out toward the pond wilh two men aud two womeu. When it returned later it carried two men, but only one woman. This story is substantiated also by several persons who live at a hotel not tar from the pond. The police are following the automo bile (due and believe by putting sev- r:il friends of the- girl in the sweat box they can learn something. The body of the young girl was in bad condition after eights davs in the w iter of the pond. THE COPPER MARKET 18 STEADILY IMPROVING People who are most familiar with the coniier situation, both porducers and onsntners alike, now generally admit that the market, for the metal, although exceedingly slow, is gradually working better. Numerous large size sales of opper have been made recently at I 'J 7 K and Hi cents a pound and the Cuited Metals SeHing company has even declined an oiler ot Vi.XM cents for nearly 10,000,000 pounds of the red mntel; a fact that in itself is counted as I he best possible evidence of the strength of the present market position. A suggestive feature of the existing conditions is found in the fact, that in quiries are now more widely diversified than they have been in many months, and that while actual purchases do not ulways materialize as a result thereof, th increased solicitations lor ipiotalrons unquestionably means that consumers are gelt ing ready to eoine into t he market. Certain il is that consumers :ire gi-nerally in a better position finan cially to buy supplies than they have been in several mouths. It is likewise pointed out that the recent successful llot.lt ion ol several bond issues tore JiadowH the commencement of active improvement operations that will in cidenlallv bring about an increased de mand for copper. The slocks of copper now on hand are not excessively large and would disappear quickly on the de velopment of any aggressive buying movement. Daily Mining Record.

Ho ex;rsi:l t'lic belief however that many Atrer can I ( tung owners would fetch string! te England and race here in tin I'nl ure. Although Bclmout will remain iu the racing game, it will lose ouo of its foremost enthusiasts in the person of King Edward, who has declared that he is going to drop th-.1 sport. It is known that the king's stables have been deteoriating recently on account of poor management., and the fact that the king is tumble to give them bis personal at tent ion. it is probable I hat t he prince of 'Vales will lako over some of his fath er s youngest horses and ratne them j ui'der his own colors. Despite the fact I that he will not race his own horses,; ih.! king has announced that he will be a liequent spectator at the traek and that he will keep his stallion farm nnd iinilriugham. BINGER HERMAN TO BE TRIED IN OCTOBER Biuger Hermann, ex-congressman and ex-commissioner of the general land of lice, will be tried in Portland in October. Hermann will be prosecuted by Francis Joseph lleiicy in person. Although there are persistent reports that Hermann's case will never come to trial, the government otHcials at the fed I huilding assert that these reports are without foundation. For severul weeks past negotiat ions have ln-en in progress looking to the trial of Ringer Hermann. The evidence, documentary, to In; introduced in the (rase, is in the keeping of Thomas B. .Neuhaiisen, spe cial inspector of Ihe interior department. This evidence has been boxed up for more than three years. As soon as the dale of t he t rial is determined, Neu hausen will have to open the boxes of evidence and arrange it for the use of the prosecution. The tusk of tabulating and indexing the documents for Heuey will begin during the latter part of this mouth or in August. While the officials savs Ihev do not know the exact date for Ihe Hermann trial, they say that it 1 lake place iu the coming fall. The supposition is that the trial will occur some time iu October, or possibly early in November. Binger Ijermnnn will have two lawyers to defend him, former !' nit I'd Slates Senator John M. ftenrin Im ing one, and a Washington attorney '.. ing the other. WILLAMETTE VALLEY PRUNES FOR THE LONDON MARKET SALEM, Dr., July EI.- The Willam ette Valley Prune Association has en tered into u contract for about l!0i,oio pounds of Dalian prunes, for London delivery, October or November, upon Ihe basis of It', cents per pound, which is V-i cent above the contract basts of last year. This means fi cents per pound for the 40 .V) grade, notwithstanding the glut in the market of nil other varieties of canned and evaporated fruits. While the prune crop of the state will uot come tip to that of last year, the lutcst estimate being between 17,000,000 aud H.OOO.Ono pounds, as against about i-'.'I, OOfl.goo pounds last year, the quality will be par excellence, and the Oregon grower stands in a good way to realize a good profit for his product.

Chief En gineer Roberts and (Jonncihneu Merrick and Wortman are today examining an other proposition that has beeu made, the nature of which has been kept se cret. It is understood that the pro posal recently made by the Condor Wa ter & Power company is not seriously considered by the committee for the reason that it provides for & pumping system instead of a gravity system. Deal Not Complete. The deal for the Wasson cunyon wa rer has not been completed, and con flicting reports regarding it uro iu eir culntiou, indicating that it may be re jected if it has not already been. The fact that the committee has asked for other proposals when the supply was regarded as settled, would indicate that some such move is in contemplation. Councilman William Eifert of the wa ter committee stated that there was no change in the water situation; that mat ters were iu abeyance, nlthough accep tance or rejection would probably be determined upon soou. There was no quest iou, stated Mr. Eifert, but that Wnsson canyon was the best souero of supply, provided thero was sufficient water, which would soon be determined. Keeps Flow u Secret. Engineer Cummins, who a few days ago measured the water in Wasson can yon, refuses point blank to tell how much water is flowing thero now. Be said that us long as the water com mil lee followed the present policy ot secrecy, he presumed they did Hit want it known how much water there was in tie canyon now. Mr. Cummins stated that the supplying of the city with water was an engineering problem, that there were certain things for engineers to know aud not fur the public, and Ihat if Ihe engineers coudn't be trust ed, they Hhould be discharged and new ones secured. Dick Slinger, owner of t he Slinger ranch, was in Medford Saturday, and stated that M. E. Hun ley, with whom the city contracted for water, was sat isfied now Ihat he could not supply the quantity of water from Wasson canyon ontrncled for, and had withdrawn his proposal, the contract with the city hav-j ing expired, and Ihat (he watT com- mitlee had taken un option on Slinger s ranch which controls 1 80 inches of wa ter. Option Htory Deuted. Mr. Eifert denied the story of tul. ing an option on the Slinger ranch, and staled that Mr. Hanley had not with drawn his proposul. Mr. Hanky, who came iu Monday to go over the propo sal with the committee, denied that he had withdrawn it, Mr. Cummins hud heunl nothing of the withdrawing of the proposal, but stated that Mr. Han ley had, a week or so ago, served no tice ou the committee that a new con tract would have to be drawn up if j ihe ileal went through, as the present deal provided for payment to be made July 1. From other sources it was said that it is the intention of ihe water commit1 lee to supplement the Wasson canyon! water by purchasing other rights in the vicinttv, heiicn th option on the vicinity, Slinger ranch, All of the sessions of the water com in it tee are star chamber sessions aud the committee's movements and plans ate made a state secret, so that it is a difficult matter to ascertain just what is going on iu the search for a water svstem. i I ARCHIBALD COUNHKL8 I CUTTINO DOWN KXPENHKH : . . ) NEW YORK, July IX" People rnuit f slop spending money thoughtlessly.
