NEW MAN JUMPS INTO A.O.H. FIGHT James J. Regan of Minneapolis Suddenly Appears as Oppo nent of Pres. Cummins WEST SWITCHES FROM ROHAN Milwaukee Being Discussed as a Contender with Atlantic City for Convention [Associated Press] PORTLAND, Ore., July 20.—There has been a switch of favorites among the western delegates to the forty- Hflventh. biennial convention of the An- < i.-nt order of Hibernians which is in ■•Mlon here. Up to this afternoon Prof. m. (;. Hohan of Milwaukee, Wls., seemed t<i be the strongest opponent of Matthew Cummins, Incumbent, in tho race for national president. Suddenly there was a change, and it became con spicuous that the delegate! actively working for James J. Regan of Minne apolis, Minn., Included several former Rohan men, Regan, while not believed to have been as strong among the western delegates as Rohan, has all along had a good following. MILWACKKK CANniDATK About the same time that the activity of the ilohan people ceased Milwaukee began to be talked of as a candidate for the 1012 convention of the order, tn opposition to Atlantic City, N. J. Whether there is any significance to this fact, nnd whether It means that Rohan, who Is a Milwaukee man, has bargained his support for president to the Regan people In consideration of the support of the latter In the con vention city race, cannot he stated. The eastern delegates are working as hard as ever for Cummins' re-elec tion, and they express confidence that he will continue In office for the next two years. Only one subject of Importance came up before the convention today, the proposition to organise a national in-1 surance society, with a clause com-' polling all members to insure. l-KiHT PBOMMKD It looks now as If the proposition te not point; to carry, but whether It does or not, there is going to be a flcht over j it. The Hibernians in Minnesota and Massachusetts already have state In surance societies, and In Minnesota there Is a compulsory clause. A large number of the delegates do not seen) to be greatly enthused over the Insurance Idea, and a still larger proportion balk at the compulsory I feature. Minnesota and Massachusetts degelatlons, two of the biggest delega tions on the floor, are strongly In favor nf the project. The annual reports of the president. secretary and treasurer, wore read to day, and all made highly favorable showings, The progress of thp convention is very slow. The presidential race seems to! be of more interest than other conven tion business. The election does not take place until the laHt day.

TAKES HIS LIFE IN JAIL NEWTON, Kas., July 20.—Julius Lialir committed suicide in the county Jail here yesterday, where ho was held charged with attempting wife murder. Ho removed the heads of a box of matches, dissolved them in water and drank the solution. Drinking Water Most rural dwellings depend for their drinking water upon "the old well." A wealth of ro mance has been weaved around the well in both song and story, but modern medical science has shown that, nine times out of ten, "the old well" is a breeding place for countless typhoid germs and other virulent bacilli. The cause for this is readily un derstood by the fact that the sew age from the outhouses and waste matter from the kitchen permeate their way through the ground to the well. The same is true, and in a larger t\vay, with the streams from which the villages, towns and cities draw their supplies, and it behooves every one to be care ful with his drinking water, es pecially at this time of the year, when so much is used. To keep the system in such good condition that these germs will be unable to obtain a foot hold, take Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, which as a tonic stim ulant and body builder is one 6f the greatest strength givers known to science. It aids in re moving disease, and by its build ing and healing properties assists in restoring tissues in a gradual, healthy, natural manner. As a nerve tonic it has no equal. It cures dyspepsia and biliousness, aids digestion, brings restful sleep, stimulates the blood, invigorates the brain and assists in freeing the entire system from the dread germs of malaria and low fevers. ' It is sold IN SEALED BOT TLES ONLY by dVuggists, gro cers and dealers everywhere or direct, $1.00 per large bottle. The Duffy Malt Whiskey Co., Roches ter, n. y.

A porter at the embassy, It seems, answered the ring of a tax collector who did not know he was at tho em bassy.

The argument which developed was not without heat, and when it seemed to be at Its height a member of the ambassador's house hold wished to pass the disputants. The tax collector, protesting that he was an official, refuse to stand aside. The report to the state department says the men "engaged in an uncivil conver sation of no importance," which re sulted in the tax collector seeking the arrest of the porter, for personal Insult. The German foreign office then asked the ambassador .to serve the porter.

The committee met, and Instead of apolo gizing there was further altercation, neither being willing to yield. The whole business was finally closed up when the porter went outside the em bassy grounds and accepted service.
