St, Iiouis, July 7TOe subcommit

to business. Mr. Bryan and one or
two other members were absent, but
the committee decided to proceed in
their absence with the consideration of
questions in which they are not espe
cially concerned. Accordingly an irri
gation plank, presented by Mr. New

The consideration of the proposed

matlon of the minor workings of the
convention.
Chairman Williams was given a
round of applause when he appeared.
He had made allowanoe for the
weather by discarding his waistcoat,
but offset this a trifle by pinning two
extra-sized badges on the outside of
his coat. He carried a large oigar be
tween his teeth, which he rolled and
chewed nervously. The strain of his
long speech of yesterday was evident
In nis voice, which was weak and
hoarse.
Prayer by Archbishop.
At 10:15, as soon as he had pro
duced quiet in the hall by the use of
his gavel, he introduced Archbishop
John J. Glendon of St. Louis, who
delivered the invocation.
The prayer was brief, and, as the
prelate resumed his seat, a murmur of
approval ran thru the convention,
which in a few seconds deepened into
a roar of applause.
Immediately after the invocation,
Chairman Williams called for the re
port on rules and order of business.
Delegate Thomas Grady of New York
reported for the committee and the
report was adopted'without opposition
or discussion.
Mr. Grady next nead the report con
cerning Porto Rico and the Philippine
islands, acoordlng the delegates from
Porto Rico seats and* votes in the con
vention.
Demands to have the report read
were shouted from the Minnesota and
Wisconsin delegations. Chairman
Williams sharply reprimanded the
persistence of the demand, saying the
report would be read if the delegates
would allow it by keeping quiet. The
chairman said:
"This is a most important matter.
We are about to determine whether
the Philippine delegates shall be en
titled to votes in our national conven
tion, when at the same time we de
clare that the Philppines should not be
a part of the United States. I there
fore urge you to be quiet, that the
motion may have full consideration."
Include Fiiilippines.
Senator Jerry South of Arkansas
moved to amend the report, as soon as
It was read, so as to make it include
the Philippines.
L. Irving Handy made the point of
order that the Philippines were no
part of the United States and therefore
the amendment was not 9 germane.
Mr. South defended the rights of the
Philippine delegation, but finally with
drew his amendment.
Arguing for the adoption of the re
port, Mr. Grady said the national com
mittee had decided to include Porto
Rico in the call of the convention.
The committee had to consider the
question as to whether these delegates
had the right to vote: The supreme
court of the United States had decided
that Porto Rico was a part of the ter
ritory of the United States. The same
court had decided that the Philippines
was not a part of the United States.
The committee had followed the court
and had given Porto Rico votes and

point with an expressed desire to

took the platform. He declared that

committee's report
There were loud calls of "question,"
but the chairman again reoog
nlzed Irving Handy of Delaware, who
spoke in favor of the report and
urged its adoption. His expressed
hope\that the day would come when
the Philippines could select their own
president and hold their own national
convention called forth cheers.
There were renewed calls of ''Ques-
tion."
Porto Rlcans Seated.
"If the gentlemen will remain

can put it quioker."
On a viva vooe vote the ayes
in a strong majority, Senator South
asked for a roll call, but this was also
heavily voted down by a viva voce
vote.
"The roll call Is declined," said the
chairman with a thump of the gavel.
"The chair recognizes the gentleman
from Porto Rico to express his thanks
to the convention," called the chair
man, as A. W. Molina of that delega
tion took the platform. Mr. Molina
spoke briefly and received a ripple of
applause as he finished. Chairman
Williams endeavored to state that the
olerk would make an announcement,
but was interrupted by cries of
"Louder."
"When the angel Gabriel shall
stand on the highest mount of the
world," said the chairman, "and with
a megaphone announce the crash of
creation, there will be some one there
to interrupt him by orying 'louder.'
This ancient wittloism from the
chairman hit the humor of the con
vention and a prolonged laugh fol
lowed.
The secretary then announced that
the permanent organization commit
tee was not ready to make a report
and desired a conference of tha com
mittee at once.
Acoustics Wretched.
Because of the wretched acoustics
of the hall, Chairman Williams re
quested the chairmen of the New
Yory and Illinois delegations to re
peat all announcements. Mr. Wil
liams created great laughter when he
said
"So dreadful are the acoustio prop
erties of this remarkable meeting
place that my friend Ollle James of
Kentucky, who has a voice like the
bull of Bashan and in whose defer
ence that bull retired from business,
confided to me that even he could
not be heard in this place."
"The next thing in the order of
business," said the chairman, "is thqf
report of the committee on creden
tials. Will the ohairman of the dele
gation pass along."
"I suggest," said John Cadwallader
of Pennsylvania, "that the megaphone
be adopted/'
"Well, will you get the megaphone?"
retorted the chairman.
The clerk made a second announce
ment of the call for the credentials
report. That committee at once an
nounced that it would not be prepai ed
to report until 2 o'clock. The chair
then recognized William F. Sheehan
of New York, who moved that a re
cess be taken until 2 o'clock.
The convention was instantly in an
uproar of confusion as the delegates
and visitors rose to leave. The motion
to take a recess was agreed to by a
viva vooe vote and the morning ses
sion came to a close at 11:04.
Clark to Be Chairman.

NEW JERSEY GOES
ER TO PARKER
Hill Says He Will Make No At
tempt to Nominate on First
Ballot.
St. Louis, July 7.The Parker
headquarters lieutenants of David B.
Hill worked quietly this morning and
with confidence that bespoke a knowl
edge of sure victory. Senator Hill re
iterated his statement that he was
making no attempt to nominate Judge
Parker on the first ballot.
It was sufficient to know, he said,
that he could be easily nominated
without creating friction by shutting
out favorite sons. All the candidates
should be presented to the convention
and voted for in the first ballot, he
argued, and that will probably be the
course pursued.
The fact that New Jersey this morn
ing finally decided to cast its vote for
Parker, however, made it apparent
that Mr. Hill's program may be shat
tered, for that course left the opposi
tion with apparently less than a third
of the convention on the first ballot.
At Tammany headquarters, Mr.
Murphy jai that he still believed Mr.
Parker could not be nominated. It
was said that the opposition had
agreed to concentrate on McClellan of
New York. Mr. Murphy said: "I can
not say as to that, but I am in the
same frame of mind as yesterday and
the days previous as to the candidacy
of Judge Parker."
It was said about the lobbies that a
concentration on McClellan was being
suggested, but that only Missouri and
Wisconsin had shown any signs of as
sistance.

Wall Street Journal Warns Re

Profit by Its Mistakes.
New York Bun Speoial Servioe.
New York, July 7.The Wall Street
Journal, the leading financial paper of
the country, in an editorial today,
says:
"The activity and strength of the
stock market is an expression of the
financial satisfaction over the return
of the democratlo party to sanity, as
evidenced by the probable nomina
tion of Judge Parker. The party went
far astray and wasted its substance
and Its strength in an alliance with
populism and sooialism. Its alliance
with populism and its leadership by
Bryan has been a most disastrous ex
periment.
"But now the democratio party
proposes to turn its back on the free
silver heresy and the populistic
theories and nominate a conservative
oandidate on a conservative plat
form. This is a result upon which
It is to be congratulated and for
whioh the business of the country is
exceedingly grateful."
After stating the issues of both
parties it sounds a warning to the re
publicans by saying:
"While the revolution in the demo
cratio party does not in itself consti
tute a sufficient reason for returning
it to power, It does put it In position
to profit by any mistakes the repub
lican party may make in the future.
In a word, the party has been restored
to a condition of effective opposition."

The numerical strength of the anti
Parker movement is In the west and
it has been handled with notable
skill by B,. F. Pettigrew and Charles
A. Towne. The latter no longer lives
in the west, but in acquaintance and
influence is practically a western man.
He and Pettigrew have been relied on
for counsel and have been powerful
aids in the tremendous effort to weld
the Parker opposition. Bryan's influ

the real leading of the radical ele
ment in the west has been done by the

Michigan Unlike Minnesota.
The action of the Michigan delega
tion in caucus yesterday was in strong
oontrast to that of the Minnesota cau
cus the night before. The indorse
ment of Parker by Michigan was a
purely personal tribute to D. J. Cam
pau of Detroit, national committee
man and strong Parker boomer. The
majority of the delegation was not for
Hearst, but was anti-Parker In feel
ing but when it came to the caucus
under the unit rule, several delegates
came to the conclusion that it would
not do to turn Campau down. He
has held the party together these
several years of disaster in Michigan,
and there Is a strong feeling of loyal
ty to him. So the vote was 18 to 10
in favor of Parker, who will thus get
all the twenty-eight votes under the
unit rule.
Michigan democrats did not owe as
much to Campau as Minnesota demo
crats did to John Lind, but they meted
out a very different sort of treatment
to their leader.
Hill Charms Frank Day.
Frank A. Day is charmed with the
conversational abilities of David B.

view and discoursed eloquently on the
virtues of Judge Parker. Mr. Day

of voting for Parker.

LITTLE INTEREST
Silent Man at Esopus Fays First
Penalty of Being in Public
Eye.
Esopus, N. Y., July 7.Judge Par
ker was inaccessible to visitors today.
He spent the morning in his study
attending to business. His mail is in
creasing daily. The reports from the
convention at St. Louis were tele
phoned to Private Secretary McCas
land, who communicated the news to
Judge Parker, but otherwise there
was nothing to indicate the remotest
interest In the St. Louis convention.
It was said today that Judge Parker
has had no communication since the
convention began with any person
there.
For the six summers during which
Judge Parker has lived at Esopus he
has been In the habit of daily going
down the bluff to the Hudson clad in
bathing trunks. As the judge was
about to dive off the little pier yes
terday he saw a photographer with a
camera aimed at him. It was the first
time that this side of political life
had been brought so closely home to
him.
"You aren't going to photograph
me like this?" he asked.
"Those are my instructions," an
swered the photographer. "My paper
heard you took a swim and they
want a photograph of you doing it."
Judge Parker has cheerfully ac
ceded to the requests to be photo

on his porch for the purpose, but the
snap shot did not appeal to him, and
,if the photographers will not let him

CLUBS FOR LIND
Even the Anti-Hearst Faction
Lukewarm Toward Hint.
Hearst men in Hennepin county are
delighted over the snubbing their col
leagues at the national democratic
convention at Duluth have given John
Lind.
"If John Lind insists on being
elected as a delegate to St. Louis, in
spite of the united opposition of the
delegation from Hennepin county,
he'll be killed politically at home," is
the threat Frank Larrabee voiced for
the Hennepin delegation at the state
democratic convention in Duluth. The
first of the "killing" is the treatment
being accorded the former leader of
Minnesota democracy at the St. Louis
convention, where in the distribution
of official plums he has gone hungry.
And if Jonn Lind doesn't keep his
promise to now retire from public
office, Hearst democracy is ready to
give him a further dose. He. is being
pressed hard by leading democrats of.
the state to become a gubernatorial
candidate, the argument being made
that this is the ideal time for the
election of a democratic governor
again because of the growing feeling
in the republican party against R. C.
Dunn, the republican nominee.
But if Lind should consent, the
Hearst men are prepared thru the or
ganization which they have in every
ward of the city, to make further
trouble for the fifth district congress
man to bend every effort'to make the
vote at the polls look like 30 cents.
Lind is aware of the strong opposi
tion to him in his own bailiwick, and
those who know him say that for this
reason he is altogether too wise to
jpermlt any pressure or any course of
reasoning to beguile him into again
becoming democracy's gubernatorial
candidate.
Incidentally, also, Lind's action in
accepting a delegateship, even tho it
accentuated the party discord, has
caused him to lose ground with tine
anti-Hearst faction. They suspect him
of selfishness, and while not partic
ularly bitter, they do not feel under
obligations to get out and work for
him should he desire it.

Three Thousand Begistered at
Yankton Alone on Second
Day for Rosebud Tracts.
Special to The Journal.
Yankton, S. D., July 7.-A torrential
rain fell here all the morning, the
registration for Rosebud lands pro
ceeding under difficulties. A crowd
two blocks long stood in line at each
of the registration offices. Notaries
are reaping a harvest, one firm clear
ing $175 on the first day. The" busi
ness of making papers begins at day
break and is kept till late at
dozen gamblinupwheel opened
the streets yesterday and no action was
taken until evening, when Deputy
Sheriff Charles Wright arrested three
men. The rest stopped business im
mediately, but not until several lambs
had been sheared. The officials will
protect the public from gambling on
the streets.
The record of the opening day was
broken yesterday when 3,000 persons
registered. At noon rush lagged
for an hour, but on th^arrivai of the
regular Milwaukee train followed soon
by a special carrying 1,000, the work
at the registration offices and at the
numerous notary stands started afresh.
The number of visitors in the city is
estimated at 5,000. Many are staying
over a day or so to look over the sur
rounding country.
The notaries have been compelled
to sign an agreement not to charge
over 25 cents for the making and
acknowledging of registration papers.
This action, taken by the government
officials, will prevent much trouble.
So strong is the feeling against over
charge that no notary who has been
found guilty of the practice will be
allowed to serve further. The action
of Special Agent Hunt of the interior
department in requiring the city
council to demand regular rates at
hotels, lodging and eating houses is
having a salutary effect. Many pri
vate homes are open to the visitors
at very reasonable rates.
Many seem to be under the impres
sion that the Indians have the be^t
land on the reservation. This is a
mistake. The Indian, when he chooses
an allotment, looks for two things
wood without hauling and water with
out digging. The claims that the In
dians have taken are for the most
part along the creeks, on the foothills
and buttes, where springs are plenty
and wood is thick. The level, open
land, with the rich, black soil, has
no attractions for them. One farm
on the level is worthy two on the
sidehill, and these farms are open to
the public. Of the 2,600 claims to be
given away, 2,000 will make No. 1
farms under the hand of the enter
prising American farmer.

FLOOD DANGER
ALARMS KANSAS
Kaw River Overruns Armourdale,
Threatening to Repeat Last
Year's Losses.
Kansas City, July 7.One-half of
Armourdale, the packinghouse town,
is under water from the overflow of
the ICaw river. The water is still
rising at a rapid rate and conditions
approaching the great flood of 1903
are feared. The water is higher than
at any time since then. The lowlands
of Argentine and Rosedale, other sub
urbs, are also flooded and hundreds of
laboring people have left their homes.
West of Kansas City the Kaw is
bank-full and is doing great damage
at North Topeka, Lawrence and other
points. Its tributaries are rising. Rain
has fallen almost incessantly in this
part of the southwest for five days:
and for a month past heavy rains have
fallen intermittently. All last night
rain fell steadily here and in many
parts of Kansas, and today continued.
The first break in the Kaw came at
Armourdale at midnight, when water
began running thru a large dyke built
across a new channel made by the
flood last year. Families in the low
lands began to move. Later, leaks
appeared at three other places toward
higher ground, and morning found the
water still rising and spreading over
the town until one-half of the place
was under from one to five feet of
water. Today the water has reached
the Iiivestock Exchange and driven the
occupants from the basement floor.
Forecaster O'Connor predicts that the
Kaw will continue rising for another
twenty-four hours, but says that there
will hardly be a repetition of last"
year's flood.
Railway traffic west of here Is badly
demoralized.
Hundreds of wagons were busy all
day removing household goods from
the suburbs of Kansas City, Kan.
More than 3,000 people fled from
Armourdale, many of whom were
forced to leave their belongings.
Water In the packinghouses caused
an almost total suspension in these
plants, and packers stopped buying
stock.
The water is six feet deep on Kan
sas avenue, In front of the Western
Union office, and one and one-half
feet over the table tops at the Swift
Paoking company's office. It is still
raining.

Wichita, Kan., July 7.Wichita is

in its history. The dikes at several
places along the Little river gave way
before the rush of water which
poured down Waco avenue, one of
the principal residence streets, in a
raging torrent, becoming waste deep.
On Main street the Baltimore hotel
was flooded and the water Is flowing
swiftly within two blocks of Douglass
avenue, the main business street.
People living within seven blocks of

In North Topeka the water is run

heroic efforts to get property out of

TURNER LOSING
^r
Continued From First Page.
Interest of Adlal Stevenson for the
vice presidential nomination, but it is
too early to say whether it will
amount to anything or not. The
caucus represented a dozen states, and
was fairly formidable.
David B. Hill was seen today about
the vice presidency. He spoke rather
freely, and said he thought Turner
was all right. He was aware of oppo
sition to him, but thought it was like
ly to die out. Still, he had no par
ticular preference. Turner suited
him better than anybody thus far
mentioned, and he was willing to ac
cept him.
He was asked about Kern, and re
plied that Kern did not measure up to
vice presidential standard. "We
should hereafter select for second
place men with qualifications for the
presidency, and Kern hasn't these, as
I understand it. He is well located,
and if he were abler and a man of
wide experience, there would be no
objection to him."
Hill would not commit himself to
Turner, but it is evident that he re
gards Turner as the ablest yet men
tioned. Somebody mentioned Gov
ernor Beckham and Hill replied:
"Why, we can't go to Kentucky for
vice presidential nominee, Beckham

THIRD FAVORITE.
Bpecial to The Journal. "i-Sg^
Sioux City, Iowa, July 7.On July
4, the day set for her wedding to
Tabor Richardson, Miss Mary Partin
of Moville, gayly donned a wedding
gown bought for her by Richardson
and went to the town's celebration in
company with her new lover, Earl
Dewey.
This is the second jilting admin
istered in a heart-breaking fashion
by the young woman to suitors for
her hand. Two weeks ago, after Har
rison Worley had accepted her own
proposal of marriage, Tabor Richard
son lured her into a butchershop at
Moville and detained her until after
the departure of the train upon which
she was to go with Worley to be mar
ried.
Then Richardson hurried to Sioux
City and secured a marriage license
and announced that the event would
take place July 4. He even bought
her a trousseau, including a bridal
gown, which Miss Partin accepted de
lightedly. Instead of keeping her
tryst with Richardson, she donned her
bridal robes and went to the celebra
tion with Dewey while Richardson
spent the day husking corn.
GOLD WATCH, WRECK CLUE
Indication of Chicago Girl's Fate Found at
Litchfield.
Chicago, July 7.A gold watch, found
near the scene of the accident, is the
only clue thus far to the fate of Mar
garet Steiner of Chicago, one of a party
which was going to St Louis on the Wa
bash train, wrecked at Litchfield Sunday
night, and who has not been heard of
since. Philip Weber of this city, whose
wife also was of the party, and who is
now in a hospital at Litchfield, found the
watch. Today he sent word to the par
ents of the girl here. It is thought she
may be in, a hospital in Decatur.

An Admirable Tonio.
Mrs. Kassatt, 1309 W. 13th street,
Des Moines, Iowa, for over ten years the
manager of a plant furnishing ladies'
wear and employing hundreds of women,
writes: "Two years ago I felt that I must
take a long rest, as I had been unable to
work for over a month and could not re
gain my strength. I could not sleep and
was in a very nervpus, high-strung con
dition. I decided to try Peruna. I began
to improve very shortly and in less than
two months I was able to take up my
work again, and felt better than I have
for years."
Thousands of women have catarrh of
some character and don't know it. We
have thousands of testimonials like the
above touching the merits of Peruna as
a remedy for all catarrhal diseases. Do
not delay. Buy Peruna today, for a day
gained means a day so much nearer re
covery.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.

Recent experiments conducted by most
eminent scientists, prove that light is a
great remedial agent it is essentially
Nature's agent. It may be either sun
light or electric light, but it has a de
cided effect in helping nature to banish
disease and restore health. Other scien^
tific men have proved that oxygen elo
trifies the heart and can prolong life.
The people on this earth are susceptible
to some laws which govern plant life. A
plant cannot be successfully grown in the
dark., A man is seldom healthy and strong
who lives in the dark or in sunless rooms.
After all, Nature's ways are found to be
the best Nature's remedies are always
best for eradicating disease, and by this we
mean a medicine made of roots and herbs.
They are assimilated in the stomach and
taken up by the blood and ate, therefore,
the most potent means which can be em*
E
loyed for the regaining of lost health,
R. V. Pierce, consulting physician to
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
at Buffalo, N. Y., in many years of exten*
eive practice, found that he could pin his
faith to an alterative extract of certain
plants and roots for the cure of all blood
diseases. This he called Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Containing no
alcohol nor narcotics, entirely vegetable,
this "Discovery" makes rich red blood.and
is a powerful tissue-builder, giving the tired
business man or woman renewed strength
and health. Rapidly growing school-girls
ydthboys
often show impoverished blood
pimples or boils which appear on
face or neck. To eradicate the poisons
from the blood, and feed the heart, lung*
and stomach on pure blood, nothing 1
80 good as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Don't allow the dealer to insult your in
telligence by offering his own blood rem
edy to you instead of this well-known
preparation of Dr. Pierce's. Ten chances
to one he will substitute a cheap compound
