Prisoners la Capitol Dome.
A boy and a girl, presumably' love sick,
narrowly missed being prisoner's of the
state capltol from early last evening until
this morning. During the day and early
in the evening the door to the dome is
usually kept unlocked for tbe convenience
of J hose who desire to take a bird's eye
view of Lancaster county and the rest of
the state. This boy and girl meandered
into the1 dome about 7:10 o'clock and evi
dently engrossed by he beauty of the
scenery thought . not of the flight of time
or what waa happening down bolow. Along
about 8 o'clock Janitor Bullard wandered
up-to the door, gave his customary shout
for all in to get out and then locked the
door. It was two and a half hours later
(' thht a mighty kicking and roaring and
yelling from the dome wakened him. The
boy and the girl were released and sen
on their wuy rejoicing, the Janitor refus
ing to take the cents the released lover
offered him. ,

" Defends President Roosevelt.
The propriety of ' President Roosevelt In
inviting Booker T, Washington to lunch,
dltfuuBHed by several democrats and repub
licans at the state house several days ago,
Lrought out the fact that In Judgo Wllber
1''. Bryant President Roosevelt has. a warm
defonaer and also one who can recall inci
dents somewhat similar. Judge Bryant is
sued this statement at tbe close of the dis
cussion ;
Borne time ago (the date Is not In my
intmoiy) Booker T. Washington, tli famous
culoreu college piesldent ol Tuskegeu, wus
, at tne thtie House In comerence with
l'luent Koosevelt. - Before their deliber
ations were finished the souk sounded tot
lunch. What followed eveiybody has heard
a thousand and one times, and of what
happened everyone will Judge according to
his peculiar sense of propriety. But 1 am
reminded of an Incident that took place
three years ago last month, for the truth
of which I vouch. During the month of
May. Mul, I wax attending the supreme
Council of Cahollo Knights of America at
Be. Louis as drirKafe for Nebraska. A
negro delegate . . nsred from Bouth Caro
lina. His seat v..s rontested. I know he
waa a negro, for i appeared for him as
counsel before the committee of privileges
and elections. Near the close of our de
liberations we were tendered a banquet at
the Southern hotel. That negro sat down
at that banquet board with all of us.
Every . southern state was represented
there, and the delegates from Maryland
snd Louisiana were of the bluest blood
descended from Lord Baltimore's colonlnts
and French creole families Everybody
was aware of the negro's presence, for a
delegate from New York mentioned It In
' open session. So far as I know, there was
not a republican In the council. 1 never
beard a word of protest, and (he IncMent
was not mentioned In the press dispatches
For the truth of this statement I appeal
to the personal knowledge of every mem
ber of that council. . ,

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., June 14. (Spe
cial.) Grand Island college has Just closed
the most successful year In all the eleven
of Its existence. One year ago It had con
fronting it a debt of $12,000, It was very
much In need of a new dormitory, Ita en

ments In buildings and grounds were
needed.
Today debts are all paid and there, Is
money In the treasury for current ex
penses, Hi, 000 on hand toward the dormi
tory for which the ground was broken
June I, about fZ.OOO has been added to the
productive endowment fund and some of
the needed Improvements have been made
on the campus.
Thus where a yearago the outlook was
anything but bright, we who are and have
been interested in the growth of Grand
Island college can see, and at no distant
day either, a brilliant future before It.
Still with our prosperity comes new
needs. A powery!011''0 should be erected
at once, a gymnasium la greatly needed
and a library building roust be had. Thus
the friends of higher education In Nebraska
see that there la still work to be done, and
there la still a call for help here for a
worthy, growing school In need of your
assistance and encouragement.
During the year the various departments
of the college have been more fully
equipped, the science department In Instru
ments and equipment, the mathematical de
partment In the purchase of a fine new
Gurley transit and surveyor's outfit, and
the library has added, through purchase
and doratlon, some 1,300 volumes and 2,000
pamphlets. The reference department of
the library has especially been strength
ened by the purchase of the'new encyclo
pedia "Americana," by the Increase In the
number of bound magaslnes. many of
which have been donated by friends In the
state, and by government reports, sets of
which have In a measure been filled, both
through the assistance of our congressmen
and various libraries of the state.
Finally, Grand Island college, In contest
with all the colleges of the state, the state
university Included, has received the great
honor of having a student In the Junior
class appointed to receive a Rhodes schol
arship of $1,500 per annum for three years
In Oxford university, showing that as a
school Grand Island colUge Is thorough In
Its classroom work, persistent In athletics
and the general Influence good. Thus the
future, with the continued good will of
friends, Is to be crowned with still greater
success.

SPRINGFIELD, III, June 14. William R
Hearst received from the democratic state
convention what the Hopkins faction
which completely dominated the proceed
ings, and what John P. Hopkins knew he
wanted. Mr. Hearst's campaign managers
who aspired to control the democratic party
In this state received what Mr. Hopkins
thought waa coming to them. The follow
ing ticket was nominated:
Governor Lawrence B. Stringer of Lin
coln. Lieutenant Governor Thomas J. Ferns of
Jerseyvllle.
Secretary of State Frank B. Doollng,
Sangamon connty.
State Treasurer Charles B. Thomas of
Mcleantoro.
Attorney General Albert Watson of Jof

University Trustees Mrs. Anna O. Solo

unviue, r u. Merriu or tst. Clair county.
Delegates-At-Largn to St Louis Conven
tion John P. Hopkins, A. M. Lawrence,
Ben T. Cablo, Samuel Alschuler.
The Illinois delegation wns lrfstructed to
vote for Mr. Hearst at St. Louis as long
aa his name remains before the convention.
Mr. Hearst's campaign managers, who at
tempted ride Into power by the aid of his
name, received absolutely no consideration
whatever from the convention.
The Harrison party came solely from Chi
cago, and was pledged to the support of
Congressman James R. Williams, who was
routed completely. Carter H. Harrison
was unseated as a delegate and took a
train for home without going near the con
vention. Both his faction and the Hearst
party were as nothing compared to the
strength and skillful management of the
convention exhibited by Hopkins.
At the same time It must be sold that
never before in Illinois has there been a
bolder display of ruthless gavel rule than
that exhibited by John P. Qulnn of Peoria,
who presided over the convention both
as temporary and permanent chairman. He
paid 'absolutely no attention to men or
motions when it did not Jibe with the Inter
ests of the Hopkins plans for him to do so,
and In one Instance at least he declared a
motion 'carried before the Hearst and Har
rison people had voted upon It
The committee on resolutions finished Its
work early, but It waa decided by the chair
man to withhold It until he knew what
action the Hearst people would take on
the report of the committee on creden
tials. ,
Coaventlon in an Uproar.
There was a long wait of two hours be
fore this body was prepared to report, and
as J. J. Kane of East St. Louis, who was
to read the report, came upon the rostrum
a line of police officers marched in and
suggestively formed a long line In front
of the speaker. They were facing that
officer and It was suggested to them that
danger was expected from the opposite
direction. So they turned and confronted
the delegates. The report of the committee
on credentials was brief and pithy. It sim
ply said:
"We believe everything done by the state
central committee In seating and unseating
delegates was Just and proper and we rec
ommend that Its work be endorsed."
Then came bedlam. The Harrison and
Hearst people shrieked "roll call," Jumped
up and down in their ohalra, yelled "rob
bers," "thieves," and a': few other things,
lees polite. ' ' ' 1
They were so wrathful that they could
not wait to listen to the' reading of a
minority report which recommended action
opposite to the repor first read. When
quiet waa Anally restored the ayea and noes
on the substitution of the minority for the
majority report was called for, and It wns
lost. The adoption of the report was
called for.
"All those In favor, say aye " shouted
Chairman Qulnn. ( .
"Aye" came In a thunderousjshout.
"Those opposed 'no.'" "Bang" went the
gavel.
"The ayes have It," said the chairman,
and "no" yelled the Harrison and Hearst
men. There were more frantic shrieks of
'roll call" and the chairman said:
"You can have a roll call on the report
of the resolutions committee. We will give
you anything you want after a while,"
and that was all the comfort the Hearst
people obtained from the proceedings un-

til thev were riven a chance to vote on the
question of endorsing their candidate In
the St. Louis convention.
ITave Rongh House.
Pending the arrival of the committee on
resolutions a motion was carried directing
the convention to proceed with the nomina
tion of candidates for state officers.
V'Before we proceed," said Chairman
Qulnn, "several of the candidates wish to
address the convention."
William Prentiss of Chicago, who was a
candidate for governor, advanced to the
front of the platform, his face, white with
wrath and his eyes biasing. He declared
passionately that he desired nothing from
the convention. It did not, In his opinion,
represent the democracy of Illinois and he
wished for nothing at Its hands. I de
cline to have my name submitted to this
convention In any - manner," he shouted,
and walked off the platform, followed by
the cheers of the Hearst delegates.
William C Crollus of Jollet' followed in
a brief speeoh,, endorsing the stand . taken
by Mr. Prentlss-ad also withdrew his
name from the convention.
Then came another long wait, during
which the wildest confuslory prevailed on
the floor and several fist fights took place
between the delegates. None of them
amounted to more than an incidental di

whereby the town could get rid of R. H.
Hlnes, who has at different times made
advances of a very Indecent character to
wards little girls of South Papllllon. After
some deliberations It was decided to call
upon the man at his home. The crowd
formed In double file and marched up the
road and reaching the Hlnes home called
the man out and requested him to leave
town within forty-eight hours or" run the
risk of being dealt with, by the cltlsens,
Hlnes said be was as anxious vo get away
from Papllllon as the cltlsens were to have
him do so and that he waa working as fast
as possible to get his things In proper
shape to move, but could not get out In
side of forty-eight hours, and asked that
he be allowed to remain until Thursday.
This request was granted after some little
parley among the crowd, a part of whom
were in favor of assisting In ousting the
man Immediately. The leader of t crowd
