LINCOLN. July C (Special.) There are
over 2,000 cases now pending before tho
supremo court, which has a capacity of
not over 300 decisions and dismissals per
year. Criminal actions and state cases
have precedence over all other classes of
litigation and they still further delay the
consideration of tho civil cases. The plan
for reinforcing the supreme court, which
was suggested by The Ueo some months
ago, meets with popular favor among law
yers and other persons who have legitimate
business before the tribunal for settlement.
Numerous plans bavo been suggested and
Judge Crltes while In ths city recently re
marked that he would be willing to have
tho numbers of all the cases placed In a hat
and then drawn out by somo disinterested
person, all odd numbered cases to bo af
firmed and all even numbered cases to be
reversed.
No better Illustration of the necessity of
reinforcing tho supremo court can be
found than In tho filing In tho court clerk's
olllce today of an appeal In a case where the
nmount of money involved Is only 114.73.

KANSAS CITY, Ma, July 5. When tho
silver republican national convention was
called to order by Temjorary Chairman
Teller this morning the subcommittee ap
pointed at the meeting of tho committee on
resolutions last night to draw up a plat
form was till far from an ngrcement. Tho
subcommittee held another session this
morning In an endeavor to decide on tho
disputed question of imperialism. The In
sertion of an antl-lmperlallstlc plank was
strongly opposed by western members of
the subcommittee, many of whom are aM.cd
expansionists and who favor tho Ignoring
of the Issues altogether. Up to tho tlmo
of convening, however, this point had nut
been decided, and It was stated that the
platform probably would not bo compleiod
until late this afternoon.
The delegates struggled Into the audi
torium hall very slowly this morning and
when Chairman Teller called tho conventl.n
to order at 10:30 a. m. not more than half
tho delegates were present. Chairman
Tallar watt dTtromnlv hnarin an n rnAlllt nf
his long speech yesterday and yielded tho
chair to Frank T. Hansom of Nebraska
Immediately after convening the report
of tho committee on credentials was ca led
for, but it was not ready and a recess was
mUon until Its ri-nort was enmnleted

Auditorium today with thc determination to
force tho nominations of Bryan and Tonno
the first thing after permanent organization.
rinWates Insisted that tho silver renub
llcans had left the old party as a matter
0f principle, and as Bryan and Towne rpre
sentcd thc views ot the silver republicans
there was no need to delay proceedings by
waiting on thc platform.
After a short recess the committee on
credentials reported. Tho delegates present
were reported as follows:
Nebraska 250, Idaho 12, Wisconsin 3a,
Washington 20, Indiana 97, Kansas 28 1,
Illinois 61, Arkansas 12, New Jersey 20,
Utah 15, Louisiana 5, Iowa 160. California
24, Ohio 100, Minnesota 100, South Dakota
10, North Dakota 25, Colorado 47, Texas 2,
Montana 6, Oklahoma 10.
The report was adopted,
Thc commlttte on permanent organization
then reported the selection of Judge L. W.
Brown of Ohio as permanent chairman of
tho convention nnd H. A. McCreary oi
California as permanent secretary. Judge
Brown received hearty recognition from thj
convention as he took the cbalr. He said
hat as the cat turned to tho wet In tlie
time of Lincoln, so It again turned to the
weflt and found a leader In the person of
Wlillam Jennings Bryan
Tho mention of Bryan's name gavo tho
convention an opportunity of showing Its
loyalty
to the democratic leader. The
chairman's further allusion to Charles A.
Towne as thc candidate for second place
caused more emphatic applause than that
accorded to Bryan. The chairman reviewed
the history of financial legislation.
"Tho money question will not be eettled
until the national banks aro anven out or
nnwer." he nald. The Questions of money

as ho took his seat.
Former Congressman Hartmnn of Mon
tana announced that the committee on reso
lutions probably would not be ready to re
port for two hours. The report of the com
mittee on rules and order of business was
then adopted. It provides for the nomina
tion ot presidential and vice presidential
candidates immediately after the repqrt ot
tho committee on resolutions. A delegate
from Missouri Introduced a resolution ot
sympathy with the Boers. This was re
ferred to the resolution committee.
Cries for Joseph G. Waters of Kansas
then went up from tho delegates and Mr.
Waters was Introduced.

Someone called upon the delegates present
who voted for Abraham Lincoln to stand up
and the convention yelled wan enthusiasm
as nearly 200 white-headed men arose.
Major John Brown (colored) of Kansas,
who saw service In Cuba, was applauded
when he proraUed tho negro voto to the
sliver republican party. There was ap-
parontiy no pr0Spect of a report from tho
committee on resolutions and an adjourn
ment was accordingly tnken until 3 p. m
A subcommittee from the silver republican
conferenco committee called on Senators
Tillman and Jones today to arraug.) for n
conference of the
full committee with
committee from the democratic convention
ln n"sard to the placing of Charles A. ToA-no

expected conference before proceeding to the
nomination ot a vice presidential candidate.

When tho convention reassembled at 3:20

committee on resolutions would not be ready
to report for several hours, although the
platform had prattcally been agreed upon
Tho names ot the national committeemen

wero then read, R. A. O'Hara of Montana
and C. J. Bassett of Idaho being reported In

but after a short debato It was referred to

were apparently ln a humor to listen to
speeches and shouts went up for Altgeld
Pettlgrew and Hartman. The latter re
sponded briefly. Congressman Shafroth of
Colorado followed him in a short speech
He aroused enthusiasm by saying that the

make a speech, but after talking a few min
utes a Kansas delegate yelled "Sit down"
and for ten minutes the convention was In
an uproar. The Minnesota delegate positively
refused to sit down and rolled up his sleeves
to lend emphasis to his refusal. It looked
for n time as If a few fist fights would occur,
but tho angry delegates quieted down and
"Foghorn" Worsley of Wisconsin, a member
of the populist conference committee, made

The Cause of Many
Sudden Deaths.
There Is a disease prevailing In this
rountry most dangerous because so decep-
. tlve. Many sudden
' deaths are caused by
lit heart disease,
1 pneumonia, heart
! failure or apoplexy
' are often the result
of kidney disease. If
kidney trouble is al
lowed to advance the
kidney-poisoned
blood will attack the
vital organs or the
kidneys themselves break down and waste
away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles most always result from
a derangement of the kidneys and a cure Is
obtained qutckest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy.
It corrects Inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain in passing It, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times durlnp the nlpht. The mild and the
