CHICAGO, April 29. William Jennings
Bryan will npt be a candidate for the

Chicago he declares in most positive
terms that bis name shall not go before
'the next National-Democratic convention.
He says: . " , ;
"I shall not be a candidate for presi
dent in 1904. This is positive. My present
attitude toward the' administration Is
identically as It was six years ago. The
administration la but a replica of the
threatening attitude of Great Britain to
the American colonies a hundred years
ago.,;-. ...
"Money is still the essential issue with

the stomachs of the misguided people
who elected men who. could thus make

of things. . ,
"This administration Is but one huge
trust, and when the beef trust scandals
subside, either by force of law op satiety

KNOTTY QUESTION
Irvingtoil Residents "Kick" Ovei-Water-supply.
The residents of Irvlttgton Addition are
divided on the water supply question, One
side prefers Bull Run water, the other
prefers the mains to be connected with
the Albina system. The present supply
is drawn from the Albina plant.
Recently some of the cltlxens of Irving
ton represented to the water committee
that the pressure of the Bull Run water
was too light, for those who happened to
be so fortunate as to live in two-story
housea, .wlth the bath upstairs; and those
who have lawns to sprinkle saw a water
famine for. next summer.
Acting .on this showing, the water com
mittee granted the request to connect Irv
lngtbn with the Albina water works, and
believed that the vexed water question
was settled: But, Judging from the mur
muring of discontent that are wafted In
from the-r Peninsula, -the committee has
misjudged, . and those at Irv'ington w"ho
live in , two-story houses and have lawns
are not .. the ., "whole show." Those who
live on the ground floors and have not
onough yard to convert Into a lawn are
dissatisfied with the change. They sigh
for the dw, sparkling Bull Run water.
They any the Albina distillery turns out'
murky goods; the humble housewives are
accused of making bad coffee because the
water 1 full of sediment. Then, those
who live In upper stories don't realise
that 4he sediment settles down from the
higher compartments, and leaves an al
luvial deposit below.
What will become, of the question is not
easily ''foreseenr'. The water committee
members are disposed to please their pa
trons, and would like to connect Irving
ton With both systems, but for the. sake
of the order and -dignity ;of the commu
nity, they are afraid to mix he 'drinks.

GOOSE HUNTING
How It Proved Expensive for L
R. (iorham.
7 . -
A really good story Is told on L. B.
Gorham, the commercial agent of the
Rock island and ex-chlcken ranch man.
Whether It Is true or not makes little dif
ference, because some of his co-missionaries
In the freight traffic field Insist
that It Is true, and Gorham wouldn't
think of such a thing aa placing himself
on record as disputing their word.
The story-reads to the effeot that once
while Gorham was up In the - Patouse
country a boy came rushing Into, a coun
try etore where the ranroad man was sit
ting enjoying himself with the proprie
tor's cob pipe and some free-for-all to
bacco. ."There's a flock of geese down
yonder in the pond," exoltedly shouted
the tow-beaded urchin whose : trousers
were held hp by one suspender, kept in
place with a shingle nalL
'Where.7" Inquired ! the Rock Island's
commercial agent as he quietly borrow
ed some of the tobacco In. the cigar box
For a smoke some other time. The store
keeper banded Gorham a gun, as the boy
repeated": : " . . .
"Down yonder In the pond. Come 'long;
rtl'show yer." '
Regardless of the fact that he was pil
ing up dust on his patent leathers, the
man who has so succesfully shot tariff
sheets into pigeon holes before the days
of the Interstate Commerce Commission,
started off at a stiff pace.
The .pond reached, Gorham swung . the
fowljng-plece Into commission and pep
pered away. Seven birds felL ' Then, so
the story goes, the constable of the town
appeared ' and piloted the astonished
freight man to a Justice court, where he
was fined J15 for discharging firearms
Within the village limits. Then the own.
er of the geese, which , happened to be
tame ones, came along and collected 17
more for ..the loss of his fowl.
It Is said that Mr. Gorham always
uses a pair of ffeld glasses now when he
a-oes out gunning and. also "squares him
se;if in advance with all local constables
and justices of the peace. ' . . y
