As I have been so successful as to complete the work which I undertook four years ago, and which was from time to time carried on through many, as it seemed, impassable difficulties, I feel that I owe the most of what I have attained to my many friends, who were so kind to me as this, especially, needed time. As a list has been kindly forwarded to me, I will endeavor to show each one my appreciation. I have also received many hearty congratulations and best wishes. During these four years I have been often made to feel that God had turned His back upon me. I had no financial backing, and that made it rather hard to work mentally and physically. I found those whom I believed to be true friends only prove to be the bitterest foes. I now believe that all these things were only means to bring me to realize and know that God has a work for me to do. I now feel more anxious and determined to get about doing my work, which God has shown to me that I MUST do. I know that I am to live and to work to elevate and uplift the standard of my race. All the years that I have been here I have entered every discussion in which I could have the opportunity to show the steady and rapid progress of the Negro amid so many obstacles. Although this is a white institution which I have attended, yet I feel greatly benefited, as I have found many things which will help me in my work. I have found many opinions which the whites hold against the blacks. It is evidently known that I do not wish to try to be WHITE. I feel very confident that I will fall in that attempt for several reasons. 1. Color will not permit. 2. I talk so much in favor of the Negro. 3. In my graduating oration I came forth on the question as never before, knowing I would never more get a chance to show the love for my race. I spoke of the past conditions, showed the CITY NEWS.

BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA King of all Hair Tonics, " OZONO " Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics.

THE SUNDAY BIBLE SCHOOL Lesson in the International Series for July 10; 1904—"Jerepoam's Idolatry." [Prepared by the 'Highway and By.] [President's Researches.] [Copyright, 1904, by J. M. Edson.] LESSON TEXT. 26. And Jeroboam said in his heart: Now shall the kingdom return to the house of 27. If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam, king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah. 28. Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them: It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 29. And he set the one in Beth-el and the other my be in Dan. 30. And this thing became a sin; for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. 31. And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the jowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. 32. And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth-month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Beth-el, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made; and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places which he had made. 33. So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Beth-el the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel; and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense. THE LESSON includes besides the lesson text the thirteenth and fourteenth chapters of 1 Kings, wherein are recorded God's warning and retribution upon Jereboam. The fulfillment of the prophecy of the prophet of Judah against the war between Beth-el and that of Ahijah the prophet against Jereboam and his family, recorded in 2 Kings 23:15-16 and I Kings 15:29-30, should be read. GOLDEN TEXT—"Keep yourselves from idols."-1 John 15:21. TIME—Common Chronology, 975 B. C. PLACES—Jereboam's capital, at first Schechem, and later Tizah, among the hills a few miles north of Schechem; and Bethel, and Dan, where the two golden calves were placed. Events in Israel During Jereboam's Reign. Prophecy against altar at Bethel.—1 Kings 13. Ahljah's prophecy against Jereboam and Jereboam's house--1 Kings 14:1-20 Defeat of Jereboam by Abijah, king of Judah.—2 Chron. 13. Events in Judah During Jereboam's Reign. Death of Rehoboam, in about the eighteenth year of Jereboam's reign.—I Kings 14:31. Abijam (called Abijah in parallel passages in 2 Chronicles), son of Rehoboam, made king.—I Kings 15:1-7. Death of Abijam in twentieth year of Jereboam's reign and beginning of reign of good King Asa.—I Kings 15:8. Comparing Scripture with Scripture. "Jereboam said in his heart."—Compare words in verse 33. Instead of taking counsel of God he searched in his own heart for the solution of problems of his kingdom. "Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David."—Comp. prophecy of Ahijah in 1 Kings 11:21, 38. Had Jereboam believed God's word from what sin would have he been kept and what punishment he would have been spared. Jereboam acted on expediency, but expediency is worse than folly if it be at the sacrifice of righteousness and truth. "He who trusts in his own heart and takes his own way, is a fool. To run before God is to sink knee-deep into the swamp. We must make all things after the pattern shown us on the mount, and take our time from God's almanac. What a contrast to the course of Jereboam was that of the Son of Man! He would do nothing of Himself. His eye was always on His Father's dial plate, and thus He knew when His time was not yet fulfilled. He was always consulting the movement of His Father's will, and did only those things which He saw His Father doing. Similarly make God's will and way thy pole-star. Oh, to be able to say with our blessed Lord: I seek not mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me!'"—Meyer. Jereboam's Three-Fold Inquity. "Made two calves of gold."—Idolatory. "Made priests of the lowest of the people."—Sacrilege. "Ordained a feast."—Godless Presumption. Idolatry.—Jereboam broke the second of the ten commandments and paved the way for the breaking of the first and third, under later kings, notably Ahab. In this day we need to remember that covetousness is idolatry (Col. 6:5), that idolatry is one of the works of the flesh or the natural man (Gal. 5:20), and that we must flee from idolatry if we would escape this sin (1 Cor. 10:14, and 1 John 5:21). Sacrilege.—The Levites had been set apart by God for the priestly office (Num. 3:10, 12), and for Jereboam to assign to the sacred function those from among "the lowest of the people" was a great and awful sin. Godless Presumption. — Jereboam changed the feast of Tabernacles from the fifteenth of the seventh to the fifteenth of the eighth month. God's appointments cannot be lightly set aside.—See Mk. 7:13. Seed Thoughts. Unbelief lay at the root of Jereboam's mistakes, and it lies at the root of all sin. Jereboam's scheme of worship was one "he devised in his own heart," and the very same thing may be said of many of the modern schemes of worship. "God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth." Jereboam sought self-glory rather than God's glory. A ministry purely man-appointed will never prove anything but an abomination in the sight of God. For the Most Popular Lady in the Western States. Winner to Receive a Gold Watch and Chain.

Frank Hattman, aged 20, wanted in Kansas City to answer a charge of murdering Clarence Myers, was arrested at Walla Walla, Wash. HE WOULDN'T QUARREL Husband Wasn't "Firm" Enough, $4 His Wife Left Him-He Gets a Divorce. Do women, as a rule, prefer that their husbands occasionally disagree with them? From the testimony given in the divorce suit of Howard Bryning against Jessie Bryning, in Judge Clover's court, in Kansas City, it would appear so. Mr. Bryning, who is a traveling passenger agent of the Northern Pacific railroad, with offices in Kansas City, testified that his wife went to Denver on a visit and that he accompanied her a part of the way. He fully expected her to return, but she did not, and she has still refused to do so. Another witness, a woman, an intimate friend of Mrs. Bryning, was called. She was asked if she knew of any reason why Mrs. Bryning had refused to return to her husband. She said that Mrs. Bryning's particular complaint was that he was not firm enough with her. "He always agreed with me," Mrs. Bryning said," testified the witness, "and there was never any chance for any kind of an argument." The testimony further showed that Mr. Bryning was a kind, considerate and thoughtful husband. Mr. Bryning obtained a divorce on the ground of desertion. They were married in 1898. Receiver for Tontine Company. The supreme court in banc reversed the circuit court of Jackson county and directed the circuit court to appoint L. S. Hickman, supervisor of building and loan associations of the state, receiver, to wind up the affairs of the Preferred Tontine Mercantile Co., of Kansas City, which the supreme court says is in an insolvent condition, and has not followed the law since it received its charter from the secretary of state. The decision of the court in the this case inflicts a death blow to all companies doing business under charters granted by the state who fall or refuse to foldw out the letter of the law. Dement Was Demented. William Dement, aged 25, of Memphis, Tenn., was saved from death beneath the wheels of a passenger train', in St. Louis, by Policeman Eddie. Dement was taken to the city hospital, where the physicians decided that he was mentally unbalanced, and he was placed in the observation ward. Colored Methodist Officers. The following officers were elected by the colored Methodist church convention at Mexico: President, E. B. Thompson, of Asbury chapel, Kansas City; secretary, Miss Mattie B. Hicks, Sturgeon; assistant secretary, Mrs. Stella Robinson, Columbia; treasurer, W. K. Wheeler, Kansas City. His Last Dive. George M. Lorenz, aged 19, died from the Eads bridge at St. Louis. He was an expert diver, but the strong wind blowing at the time turned his body over and he struck the water on his chest and abdomen, being rendered unconscious. He was drowned before aid could reach him. Mistaken Identity. Many visitors at the Missouri building at the World's fair mistake the bell which is to be presented to the battle ship Missouri for the Liberty bell. They can not understand what has become of the famous crack. Congress of Colored Masons.

Beard, of Tipton, visited friends at Sedalia, and, shortly after their arrival, surprised their hosts by getting married. Lasted Long Enough.

James Laughlin, president of the Bank of Rockville, was shot and dangerously wounded, it is alleged, by Charles Searls at that place. Jumped From the Eads Bridge. A man supposed to be Edward Sentinel Cheney, of Lockport, Ill., committed suicide by jumping from the Eads Bridge at St. Louis. Seven Hurt In Collision. Seven persons were injured in a collision between a switch engine and a Wabash shuttle train at St. Louis. None was seriously hurt. Reformatory Inmate Recaptured. Joseph Linnebarr, aged 15, an escaped inmate of the Boonville reformatory, was arrested by Detective McQuellan in St. Louis. Glass Broken and Crops Damaged.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fide subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The People's Choice for President. Theodore Roosevelt will be our next president. Every Negro in St. Louis ought to read The Palladium. Let the republicans get together in Missouri, for the victory is ours if managed right. Let every Negro in America go to the World's fair. One thousand each day ought to go. HOW IT HAPPENED. An Answer to a Scream in the Eagle. Palladium Man Ready for all Comers-- Never Rings a Barking Bell. An article in the American Eagle last week, headed "How It Happened," stating what occurred on last Saturday and Sunday morning, was a faulty misrepresentation in the whole matter. In this he says that the big Palladium Man got a calling down, when Dr. Fields pointed his silk umbrella at the Palladium Man; that the Palladium Man drew his 44-Bull Dog, but the doctor was too much for him. Well, when he did draw that revolver, it did its work in one way, for it landed on Dr. Field's head, and the blood flowed quite freely. That Dr. T. A. Curtis jumped between the two men is as false as the man that wrote it. After striking Fields over the head, Fields ran, calling Curtis, and dodging the Palladium man, when all at once some one, supposed to be Field's brother, clutched me from behind. Then Curtis and Fields closed in on me. Four of us men fell in the street. It was at this time that some inhuman fiend kicked me several times in LANDERS CO. the head and face. It was at this time Mr. Taylor, brother of Attorney Taylor, came to my assistance. We got up, and both of us walked from the southwest corner of Jefferson avenue and Morgan street to the northwest corner of Jefferson and Morgan streets, and it was at this time The Palladium Man offered his kindly advice to Dr. Fields, by telling him to go and get his head sewed up, while I will go and get the dust brushed from me. After doing this I left the drugstore and took the Morgan street car, going east to Twelfth street. The Eagle said: "The Palladium man was swearing at Dr. Fields and using language not fit to be printed." Such language might come from the editor of the Eagle. On Sunday morning I met game. Fields again. He started to run, but I told him I would not hurt him, but wanted to get my hand on him. He reached back for his revolver and I told him if he drew it what would be the consequence. He ran out into the street on Jefferson avenue. I again told him I would not hurt him. He then came back on the sidewalk. Up to this time I had not drawn my revolver, but all at once I drew it, and told him that I had a mind to shoot him. At this he started in Pickett's drugstore. I told him not to go in there. He then ran out on Lawton avenue. He then left, walking up Lawton avenue. So that is the last I saw or heard of the difficulty. Some twenty years ago white doctors would not feel the pulse of Negro patients unless he had on his gloves. We now think that great Dr. Fields needs a pair of rubber gloves to feel the pulse of his patients, especially those that work. Oh, by the way, what has become of Dr. Field's mother-in-law. We are of the opinion that he never thinks of the poor old lady. LANDERS CO. First Baptist Church. The lawn party and social entertainment that were to have been given by the Pleasant Workers' club at Madame Sophia Edwards' house, 3233 Rutger street, on June 27, was given on July 7 at the above number, and was a grand affair, Mrs. Mattie A. Gilree, and indeed all of the members of said club, spared no pains in making the entertainment a success. Mrs. Booker T. Washington will address the members of the First Baptist church next Sunday morning, after which they will give her a royal reception. The public is cordially invited. A. W. Washington, of 2011A Walnut street, poet, song and hymn writer and reporter, left last Tuesday night over the Mobile & Ohio railway for his old home down on the farm, near Enterprise, Miss, to spend his vacation with his relatives and friends. On his return he will write a four-act play, and will select some of the best talent that can be found in the city to assist him, hence the public may look for a fine treat. A. W. Washington, P. S. I., will leave to-night, and return next Thursday week, if possible. Sumner High School. Teachers and other persons who may be attending the World's Fair during the summer, are cordially invited to visit Sumner High Scohol building, Fifteenth and Walnut streets, and inspect the equipment. The Manual Training plant of this school is regarded as one of the very finest in the United States. The buildings are open every day from 8 o'clock a.m. until 6 o'clock p.m. Notice to Subscribers. The Palladium is mailed every Friday night, and the paper ought to be delivered in the first or second mail. You will confer a favor upon the manager of The Palladium by sending a postal card. Of course some papers and letters are lost, and we trust that you will consider this, and don't be too strict upon the non-delivery of a paper in a few instances. In the absence of the pastor, Rev. F. McKinney, who spent the day at Lebanon, Ill., Sunday, the 3d, Rev. Lewis Love filled the pulpit. He spoke from the fifth chapter of second Corinthians and the seventeenth verse. The speaker proved that he had studied well his subject, and if treasured up, we will become to be better men and women. Sunday, the 10th, is covenant and communion, at which time all members are expected to be present. Rev. R. H. Cool preached for the Tribe of Jude-last Sunday at 3 p. m., and not Rev. S. P. Anderson, as was told to the writer last week. The sermon was fine, and many good thoughts were brought out. The tribes are all now busy at work. Most every evening something is being given for the benefit of some of the clubs. The missionary circle will hold their regular monthly meeting, Wednesday, the 13th, at 7:30 p. m. Every member is requested to attend. Business of importance. A Standing Evil. One standing evil we observe is the posting of society or lodge bills in the windows of private homes. Any old club that gives a ball or picnic has its bills posted on the fence or in the windows of our people's homes. It looks bad; is in fact, poor taste. If they wish to advertise, let them put their ads, in daily or weekly papers. 4 Lincoln Institute Notes. The summer school now numbers sixty-two pupils, with prospects for several more. Prof. W. E. B. Dubois will begin a course of lectures on July 5 and will continue them for two weeks. Miss Caroline Smith, of Tuskegee institute, the head of the department of broom making, basketry and raffia work, is giving a similar course here. Miss Estalit Cole, Mrs. Mary Nero and Miss Estelle Cole, Mrs. Mary Nero and City (Mo.) public schools, are among the teachers attending here. Miss Laura Pearson and Miss May Johnson, two of the teachers of St. Joseph (Mo.) public schools, are attending the summer school here. Madison and Brooklyn News. We are informed that Dr. Arthur is being sued for salary, by his barkeeper. For the past two weeks they have been quiet in Madison. The Old Man is resting on his victory. Well, we will see. So watch out, Illinois. Next week we will speak of the two defunct Negro bodies which met in St. Louis this week. They seem to be following up the democratic convention, which is like the tail of a kite. We will give a pen picture of them next week. We will see who they are, and where they come from. INDEED SAFE We are just in receipt of a letter from the editresses, Miss K. Johnson and Miss Erahble Morgan, stating that they have arrived in New Orleans. They speak in the highest terms of the hospitable and courteous way they were received. They are stopping with one of the family in New Orleans. They are attending parties daily. They were invited to a whist party, and of course Miss Morgan won. Many sights they see. For instance, in St. Louis two seats on street cars are reserved for smoking; in New Orleans two seats are reserved for Colored patrons. As far as hospitality and sociability are concerned, New Orleans people are far ahead of our St. Louisans.

PLATFORM FAVORS GOLD STANDARD Democrats Say Gold Supply Insures Sufficient Volume of Currency ADOPTED BY SUB-COMMITTEE Vote Was 7 to 3, With Senator Daniel Leading in the Affirmative —Resume of Thursday's St. Louis, July 8.—The sub-committee of the committee on resolutions has adopted a final plank in the platform declaring for the maintenance of the present gold standard, on the ground that the increased supply of gold insured a. sufficient volume of currency. St. Louis, July 8.—Crowds began flocking to the Coliseum early Thursday morning, in anticipation of the second session of the national democratic convention. The reports of committees, several of which have involved strenuous fights, were presented, including the announcement of the proposed platform of the party. The latter was accompanied by a minority report, prepared by W. J. Bryan. Naturally, therefore, there was an air of suppressed excitement among the delegates as they assembled, and this feeling, in some mysterious manner, became communicated to the people in the galleries. The band was in its place by nine o'clock, and in contrast to Wednesday, when it was not heard until after Williams' speech was concluded. played various selections as the convention assembled. Galleries Filled Early. The galleries filled up more quickly than the floor. Even the officers of the convention were tardy. At ten o'clock, which was the time set for meeting, not one-third of the delegates had arrived. Many of them had been sitting up with the committees during the late sessions Wednesday night, and were disposed to take their time in reaching the hall. The Michigan delegation was present bright and early. The Texas people, too, were on hand in good season. It was 10:10 o'clock before Temporary Chairman Williams appeared. There was no demonstration, and apparently the crowd did not recognize him. Two minutes later he rapped for order, and the crowd cheered. It was several minutes before Williams could make himself heard. The delegates were not all in their seats, and the many late arrivals caused much confusion. Finally order was secured, and Archbishop John J. Glennon, of St. Louis, offered prayer, lasting just one minute. Philippines Cause Row. Immediately after the prayer, the committee on rules reported, and a hot debate followed on the question whether the Philippines were not entitled to votes in the convention, on the same ground as Porto Rico, as recommended by the committee. The announcement that the committee on rules had given the delegates from Porto Rico votes in the convention was received with cheers. State Senator South, of Arkansas, proposed an amendment giving the same rights to the Philippines. His statement that the Philippines were as much entitled to votes as Porto Rico was loudly applauded. A point of order was raised. Delegate South protested that the convention was the only judge of its own membership. This met with a yell of approval. Delegate South then moved to reject the report of the committee seating the Porto Rico members, and to withdraw, his own amendment, so that both would be excluded. State Senator Gray, of New York, chairman of the rules committee, denied that the committee had exceeded its authority. He argued that the courts had decided that Porto Rico was a part of the United States. "It will never be the part of any other country," he said. "The supreme court of the United States," he continued, "had declared that the Philippines are not a part of the United States. It was for these reasons that the committee had taken the action it had." South, of Arkansas, urged that the opinion of the courts had never been approved by the democratic masses of the country. That Porto Rico, the Philippines and Hawaii were all entitled to receive the same recognition. Handy, of Delaware, took the stand to argue the point, and when he said that the democratic party hoped the Philippines would in time elect their own president, the convention cheered justly. The question of adopting the report of the committee as made was put to the convention, and carried by viva voce vote, but Arkansas demanded a roll call. This demand was voted down, and the head of the delegation from Porto Rico, Senor Molina, proceeded to the platform and addressed the convention. Illinois Caused Delay. The report of the credentials committee was next called for, but the minority report in the Illinois contest was not ready, and the credentials committee agreed to allow Bryan further time in which to complete it. The committee asked for time until 2 p.m. It was also announced that the report of the committee on permanent organization was not yet ready, and the members were called to another meeting. Finally William F. Shaehan, of New York, head of the Parker forces, moved a recess until two o'clock, and this was adopted. Afternoon Session. The weather, which was cool in the morning, suddenly became hot, and the people gathered in the convention hall for the afternoon session were suffering from the heat. Pretty nearly every man in the galleries took off his coat, and every individual—man, woman and child—was armed with a fan, which they used vigorously. An increased number of water boys were appointed. As usual, the spectators gathered earlier than the delegates. At 1:43 o'clock there was not more than a third of the delegates in their seats. A large megaphone has been provided for the use of the chairman and the reading clerks, in order to minimize the complaints that have been made by delegates in the rear of the hall. When Bryan entered the hall he was given a great ovation. Delegates all over the floor jumped on their chairs, yelling and waving hats, coats, etc., and everybody in the galleries joined in the demonstration. Just 25 minutes after the demonstration began, Williams called the convention to order with the megaphone. Bryan advanced to the platform, and the cheering was resumed. His appearance was in connection with the report of the credentials committee, which was called for. While waiting for the report of the committee, some one moved that Gov. Beckham of Kentucky be invited to address the convention. Chairman Williams declared the motion carried, but Beckham refused to attempt to speak while the crowd was so disorderly. The band was, therefore, ordered to play. The band played a series of national airs, including "Dixie." Each tune was greeted with applause. Finally order was secured, and Chairman Head of the credentials committee read his report. State Senator Grady, of New York, moved that a separate vote be taken on the proposition to give the Philippines six votes, he declaring against such recognition. There was so much disorder in the hall that the sergeant- at-arms threatened to clear the galleries. Some man with a fog horn voice suggested: "Let everybody make a noise." The suggestion was acted upon. That part of the report relating to the Philippines was ruled out, on the ground that the Philippines are not a part of the United States. The Filipino delegates were allowel to keep their seats, but were given no votes. The majority report of the committee on credentials, which, in brief, supported the action of the national committee in every respect, announced that the respective cases could only be considered in a general way. Enough documents to the cases were filed to have occupied the committees more than ten days, sitting 12 hours a day. In view of the large increase in the population of Indian territory and Oklahoma, the report recommended that each territory be given six votes each in the next national convention. The majority report was adopted, with the exception of the part relating to Illinois and the District of Columbia. A motion was made to seat both delegations from the District of Columbia, giving each delegate half a vote. The convention voted down the motion to divide the vote of the District of Columbia delegation. Bryan Rends His Report. Bryan then read his minority report on the contested cases from Illinois. He was warmly greeted, but the Iowa delegation was the only one that attempted to renew the earlier demonstration. The minority report of the credentials committee charges that the state committee of Illinois, John P. Hopkins chairman, found itself in a minority in the late state convention and "deliberately planned to override the democratic vote of the state by intimidation." The report recited that the contests were brought, the credentials committee packed, and duly-elected delegations unseated. The report said that the national committee's credential committee had not given the Illinois case a full enough hearing, that the contestants brought hundreds of affidavits and complete proof, while the Hopkins people offered no proof except the statements of the convention officials. The report then went into great detail, reckoning all the history of the struggle in Illinois. The minority report concluded with the recommendation that the Hopkins men be unseated. The report was signed by John C. Ward, of Wisconsin, C. D. Caspar, of Nebraska. Bryan concluded with a motion to have 15 minutes' debate on a side and separate votes on the delegates at large and district delegates. Bryan said he hoped nothing would be brought in here that would prevent the adoption of a platform upon which a united democracy could stand. He hoped also that a ticket would be named which would have the support of a united party. He concluded by asking that they repudiate the action of "this gang." Congressman Menies, of Indiana, replied to Bryan, but there was great disorder. He said that Bryan's statements were not founded on facts, and he wanted to know what made him a court of appeals in a contested election case in Illinois. This gained applause from the Hopkins adherents in the hall. He said that Quinn was the properly elected chairman of the state convention, a statement which brought out conflicting shouts. When Mensies concluded, Senator Blackburn, who was on the platform, was called for. The appearance of Delegate Quinn, who presided over the Illinois State convention, to discuss the action of that convention, created a good deal of disturbance. The galleries were packed with representatives of the Hopkins and anti-Hopkins factions, and Quinn was continually interrupted. A reference Quinn made to a man on the platform who was "prompting Bryan" was roundly hissed. Finally Chairman Williams ordered that the sergeants-at-arms should proceed to the galleries and ascertain the cause of the apparently organized disorder, and having located the people causing it to put them out of the hall. Efforts to put this order into effect resulted in tremendous confusion and noise. Bryan, in closing the debate, declared that he had sat in the national committee until three o'clock Thursday morning listening to the evidence, and that he knew as much about this case as the gentlemen who preceded him who had "dared to impeach my right to speak." Bryan said that the men who had left the party would be welcomed back, but "God forbid that the democrats who had been true to the party should be forced to march between the soiled banners of the traitors." The minority report on the Illinois convention was defeated on a viva voce vote. Bryan demanded a roll call. Considered Blow for Heard. The roll call resulted 647 to 229, and the majority report of the credentials committee was finally adopted on a viva voce vote. The roll call was regarded as a test vote, and was taken by many to mean the death knell of Bryan and Hearst. The committee on permanent organization then reported, naming Hon. Champ Clark as permanent chairman. Senator Bailey, of Texas, and Bourke Cockran, of New York, were appointed a committee to escort Mr. Clark to the platform. Chairman Clark said in the opening of the speech that his business would be to run' the convention, so that its nominee would be victorious in November. After the speech, the convention adjourned until ten o'clock Friady morning. FROM SWALLOW TO BRYAN Prohibition Candidate Tells Mr. Bryan to Read Numbers, Tenth Chapter, Twenty-Ninth Verse. Harrisburg, Pa., July 8.—Rev. Silas C. Swallow, the prohibition nominee for president, has sent the following telegram to Wm. J. Bryan at St. Louis: "My Dear Bryan: Read Numbers, tenth chapter, twenty-ninth verse. Come." Following is the verse: "And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel, the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, we are journeying unto the place of which the Lord said, I will give it you; come thou, with us, and we will do thee good, for the Lord has spoken good concerning Israel." WATERSPOUT IN OKLAHOMA Six Persons are Reported Killed and Many Injured—Property Loss Heavy. Oklahoma City, O. T., July 8.—A waterspout, accompanied by terrific wind, passed through Clinton, O.

Reports from Arapahoe, Weatherford, Geary, Cordell, Anadarko and other points in western Oklahoma tell of great damage by floods. A GOLD WATCH AS A CLEW It Belonged to Margaret Steiner, One of the Missing In the Litchfield (III.) Wreck. Chicago, July 8.—A gold watch found near the scene of the Litchfield accident, is the only clew thus far to the fate of Margaret Steiner, of Chicago, one of a party which was going to St. Louis on the Wabash 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. He sent word to the parents of the girl here. It is thought she may be in a hospital in Decatur. MRS. ELSIE BIDDLE MAY DIE The Victim of Assault by Negroes Critically Ill as the Result of Her Experience. Burlington, N.

Address. AllenS.Olmsted, Le Roy, N.Y. U.S.A. Genuine bears above signature. It may not be known to everybody that in London there exists an exceeding! pretty cemetery devoted principally to man's best friend—the faithful dog. Near the Victoria Gate, Hyde Park West, stands the gatekeeper's lodge, attached to which there is a fair-sized garden, the last resting place of many a favorite pet. Several years ago a favorite dog ("Poor little Prince"), which belonged to the duke of Cambridge, was run over in the park, brought to the lodge and afterward buried in the garden. A marble stone shows the place where he lies. After this many who had heard of the event requested to have their dogs laid to rest in the same plot of ground, and thus it came about that the permission of the duke and the deputy ranger was obtained to allow the garden to become a cemetery for dogs. It has now been in existence 20 years, and there are about 300 or 400 graves, all beautifully kept. Some people pay a certain amount per annum to have the little graves properly attended to; some only pay when the dog is buried; many call regularly. The tombstones are pretty nearly all of the same size and mostly of marble. There are scores of interesting inscriptions, such as: "Toby was my friend, faithful and true to me;" "Jack the Dandy, a sportsman and a pal;" "Men cher Wee, mes pensees, Avril, 1895," and "To my dear Bob—He talked with soft brown eyes More eloquent than speech." —London Graphic The Sand Ridge railroad, a branch of the Illinois Central on the St. Louis division, has been opened to both freight and passenger traffic. WRONG TRACK Even the most careful person is apt to get on the wrong track regarding food sometimes and has to switch over. When the right food is selected the host of ails that come from improper food and drink disappear, even where the trouble has been of lifelong standing. "From a child I was never strong and had a capricious appetite and I was allowed to eat whatever I fancied—rich cake, highly seasoned food, hot biscuit, etc.—so it was not surprising that my digestion was soon out of order and at the age of twenty-three I was on the verge of nervous prostration. I had no appetite and as I had been losing strength (because I didn't get nourishment in my daily food to repair the wear and tear on body and brain) I had no reserve force to fall back on, lost flesh rapidly and no medicine helped me. "Then it was a wise physician ordered Grape-Nuts and cream and saw to it that I gave this food (new to me) a proper trial and it showed he knew what he was about because I got better by bounds from the very first. That was in the summer and by winter I was in better health than ever before in my life, had gained in flesh and weight and felt like a new person altogether in mind as well as body, all due to nourishing and completely digestible food, Grape-Nuts. "This happened three years ago and never since then have I had any but perfect health for I stick to my Grape-Nuts food and cream and still think it delicious. I eat it every day. I never tire of this food and can enjoy a saucer of Grape-Nuts and cream when nothing else satisfies my appetite and it's surprising how sustained and strong a small saucereful will make one feel for hours." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. True food that carries one along and "there's a reason." Grape-Nuts 10 days proves big things. Get the little book, "The Road to Welville," in each pkg. MET TO CHOOSE STANDARD BEARER The Opening Session of the Democ- cratic National Convention. THE PRELIMINARY WORK DONE John Sharp Williams,the Temporary Chairman, Evoked Considerable Enthusiasm In the Course of His Address. St. Louis, July 7.—The Democratic national convention opened here. It is being held in the old exposition building on Olive street. This monster meeting place, within the walls of which democracy's standard bearers are to be named, was the Mecca for all whose interest here centers in the convention. The scenes of activity have been transferred from the hotels to this one common point. The corridors of the former wherein for several days past all has been excitement were deserted soon after the morning hours. Long before the doors were swung open vast crowds thronged the streets in the vicinity of the main entrance to the exposition building. In the surging line were men and women, and visiting political organizations, eagerly seeking entrance. Those who have charge of the distribution of the tickets of admission have been deluged with requests for them, but as cards have been provided only to the extent of the seating capacity of the hall, many persons were disappointed. The preliminary skirmishes have taken place and the big contest for the nomination for president is now on in earnest. The Convention Hall. The decoration of the convention hall was undertaken on a most elaborate scale and the pleasing and effective general scheme has been carried out to the minute details. The great dome ceiling which rises high above the floor is covered with a fabric of solid yellow, with here and there floues of a white material carrying out the architectural design. Within each of the sections of the ceiling is the seal of one of the states and, a stand of colors, while in front of the gallery spaces are festoons of white cloth. The walls are adorned with the national emblems, forming a frame for the colossal color picture over head. The splendor of the vari-colored gowns worn by the large number of ladies occupying seats in the balcony and galleries and the ever-moving fans gave the finishing touch and completed a scene both spectacular and picturesque. Flowers were eliminated from the scheme. With the exception of the bouquets on the tables on the chairman's platform, plants and blossoms were not in evidence, preference having been given by the designers to more enduring decorative materials. An Immense Amphitheater. An immense amphitheatre. the hall is an immense amphitheatre, admirably arranged for a national convention, and especially arranged so that all available room may be utilized to the greatest possible advantage. The participants in the convention proceedings occupy positions on the main floor which forms an ellipse, the chairman's platform with ample seating capacity rising at the center in the rear. The section allotted to the delegates is directly in front of this platform. A large standard—a red, white and blue disc—designates the location of the various delegations by states and, incidentally, adds to the attractiveness of the spectacle. The day opened cloudy, with a comfortable atmosphere which has been tempered by frequent showers throughout the week. It was found necessary to turn on the electric lights in the coliseum. The Gathering Host. Among the early arrivals of persons of sufficient distinction to be awarded seats on the platform were a number of ladies, including Mrs. Charles Mercer Hale, daughter of Judge Parker; Mrs. Daniel Manning, Circuit Attorney Folk of St. Louis was also included in the list of early comers, and whether by accident or design he occupied a seat in close proximity to Mr. Jerome, of New York. The first ripple of applause that went across the convention, came from the galleries when the Texas delegation marched in bearing their flag of red, white and blue with the single star. A white silk banner bearing the inscription "Florida Democracy, Safe and Sound" was borne into the hall shortly after Texans had arrived and was also greeted with applause. This was five minutes before 12, and up to that time not a hand-clap had been offered to any man who had entered the hall. The platform was crowded with members of the national committee, but the crowd paid no attention to them. A Close-Wrapped Banner. The Philippine delegation came in with their banner, which was not floating free like those that had entered before it. It was an American flag of silk wrapped closely around the staff and tied hard and fast. This was done, according to one of the Philippine delegation "With deliberate intent" as if to show that the democratic convention did not recognize the Philippines as part of the nation. Chairman Guffey of Pennsylvania strode in closely behilful the Philippine flag, and was heartily cheered. CONVENTION CALLED TO ORDER. CONVENTION CALLED TO ORDER. Promptly at Noon Chairman Jones Rapped for Order. St. Louis, July 6.—Exactly at noon Chairman J. K. Jones of the national committee, called the convention to order. His appearance on the platform and the sound of his gavel brought forth a cheer from the floor and galleries. Chairman Jones directed the sergeant-at-arms to secure order. He continued belaboring the table with his gavel, but it was some time before quiet reigned. Chairman Jones directed the secretary to read the call for the convention. Applause followed the reading of the call. After quiet was restored, Chairman Jones announced that the NATIONAL CHAIRMAN JONES. convention would be opened with prayer by Rev. John F. Cannon, pastor of the Grand Avenue Baptist church, of St. Louis. During the invocation the convention stool. Dr. Cannon's voice was entirely inadequate to reach even the center of the hall. The prayer occupied several minutes. Enthusiastic cheering greeted the chairman's announcement that he was directed by the national committee to appoint John S. Williams temporary chairman, and C. A. Walsh temporary secretary, and John I. Martin temporary sergeant-at-arms. The chairman appointed Col. John M. Guffey, of Pennsylvania, and M. F. Tarpey, of California, to escort Mr. Williams to the chair. As the platform was inclosed by a railing it was necessary for the committee and Mr. Williams to climb over the railing. The committee lifted Mr. Williams safely over and the entire convention burst into cheers as he ascended the platform. "I have the honor to introduce to you John S. Williams as temporary chairman," said Chairman Jones, and again the convention cheered. Mr. Williams was attired in a light gray suit, and a white waistcoat. He delivered his address calmly and without gestures. Several cries of "louder, louder" interrupted Mr. Williams as he began, his clear but not powerful voice at first failing to reach all parts of the hall. As Mr. Williams proceeded his voice increased in volume, and the delegates listened attentively. The convention appeared considerably amused at Mr. Williams' humorously sarcastic references to the "Mutual Admiration society" of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Root, and when he read an eulogy by the president on Mr. Root the delegates laughed and applauded. Mr. Williams spoke in an ironical tone that caught the fancy of the convention, and he was interrupted time and again by laughter. Cheering was evoked by the speaker's statement that Mr. Roosevelt had found praise for only three presidents, "George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and himself," and when he asked if the "Hell Roaring Jake" Smith order was a sample of the moral sentiment for which the republic stood, a lusty cheer broke forth. A great part of Mr. Williams' speech was delivered under great difficulties, for the speaker and those of his hearers who were supposed to be most directly interested in his remarks. The aisles leading past the delegates were packed by dense throngs, who kept up a constant hum of conversation that smothered Mr. Williams' voice. Policemen who were stationed in the space around the platform to keep others away did it by occupying the space themselves to the exclusion of all others. Several times the speaker stopped and asked that the talking cease in order that he might make himself better understood. Mr. Williams drew a picture of the country's condition at the time of President Cleveland's first inauguration, declaring that much of the distress that came in the early nineties were due to Republican misrule that had gone before. Under Benjamin Harrison, he said, for three years, all hope but well-night vanished from the business world. He scored the attitude of the Republican party on the financial question, declaring that it had been full of inconsistencies and absurdities. He mentioned the name of Mr. Bryan in discussing, the price of wheat during the $f$st Bryan-McKinley campaign. The utterance of the name called forth a little applause and some cheers. A second later he mentioned the name again and the applause was not repeated. Led by the Tammany Hall delegates and alternates, the convention cheered the name of Cleveland, and when one of the men leading the cheering was ejected, the galleries joined with the delegates in hissing. After the long and hysterical applause, the convention quieted and sat down. When the speaker said that he had heard that Dewey, Schley and Miles were democrats; that a republican administration had snubbed the first, tried to disgrace the second, and insulted the third, the convention again broke out into shouts and applause. Mr. Williams' flow of oratory was uninterrupted for some time. A response of applause followed his denunciation of the republican claims of prosperity because of the tariff. Cries of "louder" were again heard in various parts of the hall. "I wish I had the kings to speak louder, but I cannot," answered Mr. Williams. Mr. Williams, with all the voice left, turned to the audience and with considerable heat upon the race question. When he referred to the incident at the republican convention when a colored child and white child were both on the platform waving flags during one of the demonstrations, there were cries of "This is a white man's country." So great did the noise become that the sergeant-at-arms went down into the hall and ordered the aisles cleared. But the police had difficulty in carrying out these instructions. Mr. Williams had by this time been speaking an hour and twenty-five minutes. "Now a few words in conclusion," said Mr. Williams. "And if you are as pleased to hear the conclusion as I am to conclude this will be the most delighted audience that ever existed." Mr. Williams spoke but a few words more, and concluded his address greatly exhausted. The perspiration was streaming from his face, his collar was a soft white roll of linen, his voice was worn to a frazzle and could not be heard twenty feet from where he stood. As he finished the band struck up a medley of patriotic airs, the stirring strains of "Dixie" calling forth the wild cheers that never fail to follow the song no matter when or where rendered. "The delegates are invited to visit the exposition," said Mr. Williams, "and the clerk will read the invitation." The last few words were lost in cries of "Bryan" "Bryan" that came swift and thick from different parts of the hall. Cheers mingled with the callis, and it was fully a minute before the voice of the clerk was able to rise above the tumult. Mr. Bryan remained quietly in his seat during the demonstration made by his friends, and gave no outward sign of his recognition of the aplause that had greeted his anme. Delegate Powers, of Michigan, was recognized by Chairman Williams to return the thanks of the convention to the exposition officials for the courtesy shown and made a brief speech of acknowledgment. The motion to accept the invitation with which Mr. Powers concluded was adopted unanimously. Sergeant-at-arms with bundles of exposition tickets were at once sent throughout the seats occupied by the delegates and alternates handing them to the chairmen of the delegations. When the ticket passers had nearly finished their task the chairman announced that the roll of states would be called, each state as its name was called to send up to the chairman's desk the names of its committeemen selected in caucus. While the roll call was in progress the spectators, concluding that the interesting scenes of the convention were finished by the day, streamed out by thousands. The noise of their exit and the talking throughout the hall was so general that the clerks could be heard with great difficulty. The announcement of Mr. Bryan as a member of the resolution's committee from Nebraska called forth a cheer from such of his friends as were able to hear the announcement. David B. Hill's name as a member from New York also brought a shout of applause." As the roll was finished, and the call began for those states which had not answered on the first call, Chairman Williams drew a cigar from his pocket, lighted it and commenced to smoke with great satisfaction, notwithstanding the fact that numerous signs prohibiting the indulgence were posted all around the building. After announcing the time and places for the various committee meetings a motion was made by Bourke Cockran that the convention adjourn until ten o'clock Thursday morning. The motion was adopted, and the convention adjourned at 2:50 o'clock. THE NEW NATIONAL COMMITTEE Numerous Changes Have Been Made in the Personnel.
