Illinois for McKinley.
, SI'fINGTIELT ) , Ill. , May 2.-1Villiam
: McICinley , of Ohio , is the choice of the
Republicans of Illinois for president
, of the United States. lie was so de
1 ckired at the Republican state eon-
; , vention here yesterday. lie was not
.only declared the choice , but the over-
whelining choice , of the people of this
state who believe in the principles of
the Republican early.
Every effort and scheme known to
; politicians tvas bronglht to bear upon
the delegates to induce them to name
.another elan , but all the schemes
failed. It was apparent the people
'cvhoin the delegates represented
wanted lleiUnicy , and the delegates
could not be induced to violate time
wishes of their constituents.

'T'hat the people of this State were
pleased with the choice was made evident -
ident by the 1.)00 ( ) spectators and visitors -
itors who gathered from all parts of
time State to attend the convention.
l ' l As soon as the name of Major McKin-
Icy was mentioned in the convention
there was an outburst of applause
t that surprised even the most ardent
admirers of Major llchinlcy. Nearly
every nman , woman and child in the
T vast throng arose at the mention of.
time name of the Buckeye statesman
and for nearly five minutes shouted
and yelled and cheered. hats were
thrown in the air by the more enthusiastic -
iastic , and for a tinge it seemed as if
p the vast crowd had gone raving mad.
The contest was between the Republicans -
publicans who believed Shelby M.
Cullom should be honored aS the
standard bearer in the presidential
Contest by the people of this State , on
the one hand , and the Republicans
who favored McKinley on the other.
Arrayed on the side of Senator Cullom
was that organization known as the
Cook comity "machine , " and a large
number of leading politicians and
statesmen of Illinois. Witm him were
veteran politicians , who , in years
gone by , have engaged in many a hard
fought political contest. They had to
t aid them one of time most perfect po
litical organizations that has ever
been formed in this State ; but all
their plans went wrong.
1Vhile Senator Cullom and his backers -
ers mimet defeat , they met it gracefully ,
and at the conclusion of the convention -
tion there was not the slightest ill
feeling on their part towards the vie-
tors.
tors.A
A motion was made to lay the Mc-
L/ Itmlcy resolutions on the table , and
wasdefeated by a vote of 503 to 83 _ .
lVhcu the uproar following the
adoption of time Mdiinley resolutions

TALK ON BATTLESHIPS.
Dir. Allen of Nebraskli , Makes Some Big
13
1'olltlcal Predictions.
WAS111NGT.ON , May 2.-The Senate
spent another clay on the naval appropriation -
priation bill without completing it.
Mr. ( , orman further opposed the item
of four battleships and expressed time
opinion that the appropriations already -
ready made would consume the balance -
ance in the treasury. A determination -
tion of the number of battleships has
not vet been reached. Mr. Chandler
has proposed substituting thirty large
and fast torpedo gunboats for two of
the battleships. Mr. White of Call-
fornia , spoke of the need of coast tle-
fense before further naval vessels
were built , andMr. Allen of Nebraska
made a speechh of over three hours arraigning -
raigning the two old parties.
Mr. Allen predicted that the Republican -
lican party would be victorious at the
next national election , and that the
Democratic party would go out of
power for a thir(1 of acentury. Three
months hence , he said , there would be
a great bolt in the Democratic ranks ,
one wing taking refuge in the Populist -
list party , and the rest becoming
"gold bugs. " [ 'lien turning to the
Republican party. Mr. Allen acensed
. , : it of "frying the fat" out of protected
t. ] ndustries , and said that party , too ,
would go out of power in 1900 , giving
place to a party of the people. Nr.
Allen spoke until 4 o'clock : consuming
over three hours.

SHAH OF PERSIA KILLED.
LONDON , May 2.-rime shah of Persia
was assassinated by a fanatic this
afternoon just as he was about to enter -
ter the inner court of the shrine of
Shah Abdul Azim , six miles north of
Teheran.
The assassin used a revolver and
time first bullet proved the fatal one ,
passing through the heart. The physician -
cian attached to the German legation
Was sent for in haste but before he
arrived the shah was dead.
In order to prevent public excitement -
ment from becoming too high , the
first report sent out was that the
shah was only slightly wounded , but
an hour later it was officially announced -
nounced that the Wound had proved
fatal almost instantly.
Immediately after the shah was shot
he was carried to hiscarriageand conveyed -
veyed to the palace in Teheran.
There he was attended by Dr. Thol-
gean , his chief physician , and other
physicians were hastily sent for. But
in spite of thcireiforts hismajesty cx-
Aired soon after his arrival at the
palace , or at about 4 o'clock this
afternoon.
'l'ime assassin , Who Was promptly arrested -
rested , is said to be a sayid from Ker-
trran or from the province of that
name. It is believed the murderer
has accomplices.
'I'he heir apparent , Muzaffer-e(1-Din ,
was imumediately advised of the assassination -
sination of his father and will leave
'rtbriz , where he was sojourning , for
Teheran as soon as possible.
TILL SIIAII'S CA1IiER.
Shah Nasred-Din was born in 1S29
and succeeded his father , Muhammed
Shah , in 1S48 , being the fourth monarch -
arch of the dynasty of the Kajars.
He was Proclnimed heir to time throne
some years prior to his accession , but
was absent at 'Tabrdz When his father
died and llad to fight for his rights.
The late Shah's first notable act
was the suppression of a rebellion in
Khorason and his nett time extermination -
tion of the sect of the Babis by sword
and fire.
In IS5G England declared war
against Persia on account of time lat
t ( is symmmhathy With Russia in the Cr1-
mr' < in war and also by reason of the
em' p .mire of ilerat a year earlier. After
a nut rt campaign under the conduct
of it James Outram on the part of
the English , the Persians were de-
tented and IIerat evacuated. Since
that tinge the relations between England -
land and Persia have been friendly
and the shaft's disposition of time same
character , as Ins recent visit to Eng-
laud would indicate. Nasred-Din had
ven previously visited Queen Victoria
i m an amicable spirit and had toured
extensively on the continent as well.
In 1872 the Indo-European telegraph
line from London through Teheran
a'td on into India was opened and time
Sitmne ycfw a settlement of the frontier
difficulties between Persia and Khelat
teas effected by Sir P. Goldsmid and
the Seistan mission.
Nasred-Din was successful in. most
of his Wars , but it is upon the record
of his civil acts that his reputation
must rest. He is universally conceded
to have been a humane and intelligent
ruler.
Time new shah will be time eldest son
of time deceased , Muzafer-ed-Din. It is
interesting to note that it is within
the power of the Persian monarclms to
alter or overrule time existing law of
succession and to leave in disregard
the claims of the natural heir or any
other member of time family.

I tell you I wish
Columbus
Hadn't heard the earth was a ball ,
And started to find new countries
That folks didn't need at all.
Now wouldn't it be too lovely
If all that you had to find out
Was just about Spain and England ,
And a few other lands thereabout ?
And the rest of the maps were printed
Withh pink and yellow to say ,
"All this is an unknown region
Wliero bogies and fairies stay ! "
But what is the use of wishing
Since Columbus sailed over here ,
And men keep hunting and 'sploring
And finding more things every year ?
Now show me the Yampalh river ,
And tell me where does it flow ?
And how do you bound Montana ?
And Utah and Mexico ?
Little Bobby Wanted to Know.
Little Robby-Is black a color , pop ?
Little Bobby's Father-No , Bouby ;
black isn't a color.
Little Bobby-But red's a color ?
Little Bobby's Father-Yes ; red is a

Little Bobby-Indians are red , ain't

Little Bobby's Father-Yes , Indians

Little Bobby-But Indians ain't colored -

Little Bobby's Father-N-no ; Indians

Little Bobby-Negroes are colored

Little Bobby's Father-Yes , Bobby ;

Little Bobby-Well , then , pop why-
Little Bobby's Father-I don't know ,

Railroad Repartee.
A very smart young man , wishing to
supply amusement for a group of young
ladies that accompanied him , accosted
the conductor of a railroad train as follows -
lows :
"My dear conductor , what-er-do
you call an up train ? "
"Why , a train that blows up , explodes -
plodes , goes to smash-anything of that
sort. "
"Ah , yes , to be sure. And-er-what
do you call a down train ? "
"Down train-why , that's a train
that goes down an embankment , or
through a trestle-work ; has some sort
of a fall , you know. "
The young ladies were laughing
heartily at these answers , which embarrassed -
barrassed the young man , and desperately -
ately pointing to the train they were
about to board , he asked , "And where
might this train be going ? "
"Oh , " replied the conductor , "we
never agree to answer those questions
beforehand.-Harper's Round Table.
Destiny in Trifles.
Glad Tidings relates a story that occurred -
curred during the revival meetings held
by Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman in Buffalo :
A lady-a member of one of the
churches , but worldly-sought to bring
her son to Christ. He was unmoved and
showed no anxiety for his salvation.
She wrote him a letter and told him of
her desire , expressing the fear that she
had , perhaps , been in the way. It was
true. Two years before , during special
services , her son had been interested.
He had asked his mother to go with
him to a meeting. She said , "Not to-
night. This is the regular meeting of
our whist club , but I'll go some other
nig' . " From that time there seemed
to be smitten out of him every thought
of the Holy Ghost. He read his mother's
letter , her entreaties. She watched him.
Tears came to his eyes ; but he put the
letter in his pocket , and never looked
at it again. Oh ! it is a serious thing
to be trifling when the souls of others
are depending on us.
A hero Convert.
A story is told by Rev. Mr. Adams ,
of the American Baptist Mission in
Central China , of a Mr. Tsen , formerly
a wealthy merchant , but who , ruined
by opium smoking , became a low fortune -
tune teller. He came afterward under
the influence of the Gospel and burned
his magical books , and sought to re-
form. The sufferings he endured while
seeking to break off the habit were intense -
tense , but borne patiently. The temptation -
tation to seek relief by returning to the
use of the drug was such as few could
have resisted , but he would not yield ,
though he died. And die he did , steadfastly -
fastly refusing to yield again to the seductions -
ductions of the drug which had blighted -
ed his life.
Look Pleasant.
In a volume entitled "Aspiration and
Achievement , " Frederick A. Atkinson
speaks as follows of the duty of cheerfulness -
fulness : Cheerfulness , pleasantness , a
bright and sunny temper-these are
some of the richest fruits of true re-
ligion. If our Christianity is worth
anything at all , if it has any potent
influence over our lives , if it is any-
I thing else but the feeble sentimentalism -
ism of a selfish and artificial nietr. then
it will make us "pleasant" It will
brighten our spirits , sweeten our manners -
ners and tame our tempers. Almost
the first Indication of the new life is
the desire to smooth over trivial but
ugly difficulties , to promote a general
feeling of kindness and simplicity , and
thus to rob life of its dullness and bitterness -
terness and monotony. * * * And
there is a certain kind of Christian effort -
fort which no committee can do , no organization -
ganization can accomplish , no code of
rules can help-it requires hunxmn
touch. It can only be done by a smile ,
a welcome , a handshake.
An Antl-Sian ; Society.
According to the Republican , of Vermillion -
million , S. D. , a number of young ladies
of that place have organized an anti-
slang society. The miss who was elected -
ed president , before taking her seat
said , in a clear , cairn , modulated voice :
"Really , girls , I am too much rattled
by the honor conferred upon nme to give
much gab. It is the first time I ever
tumbled to anything of this sort , and I
hardly know lionto catch on. however -
ever , I will try to be sutiiciently tip to
snuff not to let any flies light on me
while doing time presidency- of this
society. I am with you in the nmove ,
and we ought to extend an invitation to
time married ladies. Let our motto be ,
Shoot the Slangist. '
Made Money oa ills Nerve.
A numbem of men have made nice ,
snug sums at Rossiand this year upon
little capital , but a large amount of
nerve. One man from Butte , with a
good reputation as a rustler , but with
little money , remarks the Vancouver
( B. C. ) World , bougimt a property and
gave his check on a Butte bank far
$5,000. He took chances upon making
a turn by reaching Butte before the
clmeck. He ( lid so , made the deal , and
had time money in the bank when the
check arrived. This is one instance
wimere a slow mail service was a benefit -
fit instead of a loss.
Yosemlto's Earliest Settler.
The discoverer of Yosemite Valley
was John M. Hutchings. He settled
there and made his discovery known to
the world. There his wife and daughter -
ter died and were buried. Time Butte
( Mont. ) Inter-iliountain says it would
have been a cruel act to have evicted
the old man from his cabin , as was
contemplated when the government
took possession of time ground as a park.
The Yosemite commissioners evidently
took the same view finally , forr it is
now decided that the old man is to remain -
main in undisturbed possession of his
cabin.
A Young Lady Apiarist.
From the Merrill notes in time Lithe
Falls ( Minn. Tribune , it is learned that
Miss Nellie Cheeley has taken a homestead -
stead claim and is going into the honey
business on a large scale , starting her
apiary with fifty colonies of bees. She
is experienced , and will doubtless make
a big success of time venture. This enterprising -
terprising Minnesota girl will teach
school in winter seasons and care for
her bees during the summer months.
It has already been demonstrated that
there is good profit in both bees and
honey , and time business has many fol-
lowers.
Competition Was Aroused.
Usually when two little girls are
thrown in each other's company , it does
not take them long to get acquainted.
The other day , however , two young
maidens of Allegheny who were left in
the same room together , experienced
much difficulty in getting the conversation -
tion started. At last a bright thought
struck one of time girls , and shb remarked -
marked , cheerfully :
"My feet are bigger than yours. "
That broke the ice.-Pittsburg Chron-
icle-Telegraph.
It Scared the Bear.
A hunter riding through the woods
near Gray's Harbor , Wash. , the other
day , came to a big , fallen tree in his
path. The ground seemed clear on the
other side , and he leaped his horse over
the trunk. The horse landed squarely
on the back of a bear , which evidently
had been asleep there. The bear was
as much startled as the horse and
quickly made off , while the hunter was
thrown to the ground , the horse pitching -
ing him out of the saddle sideways in
its frightened leap away from the bear.

The Mandan ( N. D. ) Pioneer says that

Custer and his wife has forwarded a few
leaves gathered from one of the trees
planted by Mrs. Custer's own hands at
Fort Lincoln , and in the kind acknowledgment -
edgment Mrs. Luster expressed her
appreciation of the memento , and
auded : "Tt makes me grateful to find
my husband's frontier friends so true. "

lvaen ex-Senator Sawyer's daughters
were little girls their lather promised
to make them a handsome present when
they were able to cook him a satisfactory -
tory dinner. Ten years later they reminded -
minded him of time promise and served
him a dinner with which he had not
the least fault to find. That same day
the senator gave each one of the young
women a check for $25,000.

the comforts that money affords.'with
all the happiness that tunny loving
friends can give , the joy of Mrs.
Sntitim's life was blasted for years by
the terrible ravages of sickness. Time
story is most interesting as told to a
reporter :
"I was an Invalid for years ; suffering
first with one complaint and then with
another. The thing wlmklm caused me
the most discomfort amid made me offensive -
fensive to my family tvas the worst
case of indigestion imaginable. I had
time best physician uv could lied , and
occasionally his prescriptions relieved
rime temporarily. But ( lie pains and
misery n ould all soon r"turn again.
I became desperate , and started in to
t y remedies of which I read. Among
them were the fink Pills. I took the
pills and foil. % ved out the directions -
tions to the letter , and before
many days I began to feel like a different -
ent woman. For six weeks I tonic the
pills regularly , and I can truthfully
add after that I was as well any one
in the family. This change for time better -
ter in my condition has caured my
relatives and frlr'nds to take the phis.
We buy them from the drug store of
John Duryea , at time corner of DeKalb
and Sumner Avenues.
"I assure you it was impossible for
me to oversee my household for three
years. Now I visit my kitchen every
day , do my own marketing and shopping -
ping ; in a word , look after everything
connected with my borne and family.
"Oh , yes , I still keep taking th ' pills.
I take one daily after dinner. I'reverm-
tion , you know , is better and cheaper
than cure. I verily believe one hall
of the women who are suffering from
the ills whiclm our sex are heir to would
be up and well if they could be induced -
duced to give the Pink Pills a fair trial.
I certainly recommend them heartily
and amid feel grateful to the physician
who put them on the market. "

means and standing in the community
and , therefore , her testimony- will be
accepted without question by all

The latest scheme for good roads ,
that of laying tracks of broad steel
rails along country roads and city
streets , for the wheels of vehicles to
run on , thus greatly increasing the
traction power of horses and time general -
eral comfort and convenience of driving -
ing and trucking , was suggested by
Gov. Wertz , of New .Jersey , in his last
message. lie says a horse will draw
on such a steel track twenty times as
mnuch as on a dirt road and five times '
as much as on macadam. The unanimity -
mity with which drivers of all manner
of vehicles in the city streets take 'to
the car tracks clearly illustrates the
idea.

Would Not Eat the Flat.
An Englishman in Washington at
dinner declined to eat an ice frozen in
the shape and color of the American
flag. This he did because he held it to
be bad form to absorb the national em-
blem. The incident was significant as
showing the distinction and the differ.
ence between the British idea of patriotism -
otism and our own. Englishmen lift
their hats when their flag is carried
past and rise when the national anthem -
them is played in theatres and musical
halls. No true Briton , in trade or out
of it , would see the flag of his country
for advertising purposes.-Boston Gq.
