ZANUSVILLE , 0. , Aug. 28. The demo
cratic stale convention was inaugurated Jo-
day by the arrival of John R. McLean In the
afternoon and tfoloncl James Kllbournc to
night and all the oihor candidates for gov
ernor and other places on the etato ticket.
Whllo the , attendance is unusually largo ,
there are not many delegations present.
They will como tomorrow with the visiting
cluba. The preliminary meetings do not
occur until 4 p. m. tomorrow , and the con
tention1 does not convene until Wednesday.
There has been no change today in the
figures. The arrival of McLoan has made
his frlonds nioro enthusiastic and the arrival
of Kllbourno has made some'of his friends
moro desperate. The other candidates for
governor are not doing much except shaking
hands , with the exception of Sherwood , who
corns to bo In line fdr second place. The
McLean men are so confident of not less
than seventy-six more than Is necessary on
the first ballot that they are 'figuring ' an
tholr running mates. They prefer Colonel
James Kllbourno for lieutenant governor ,
but so far neither ho nor his friends will
concede the nomination of McLean or accept
the second place. It the Kllbourno men
hold out , It la llkjiy that the ticket will
bo McLean and Sherwood. The McLean men
held a conference late this afternoon and
gave assurances afterward of a mr.Jorlty of
seventy-eight over ail ; together with claims
of seventeen-'suro and probably eighteen > of
the twenty-one congressional dlstrlcls. This
would nssuro thorn control of all the com
mittees tomorrow night and absolute con
trol of the convention.
I'lnnn for Orirnnlrntlon ,
Judge William Mooney will bo temporary
chairman of the convention , but ho Is not
wanted by the McLean men for permanent'
chairman. Congressman J. D. Norton will
bo the permanent presiding officer. The
candidacy of McLean has brought many
prominent men here who have not attended
conventions for many jo.irs. Some of them
are from other states. Nearly nil the "old
guard" that was in McLean's organization
In 1885 , when ho sought to succeed Sherman
as senator , are here and all of the workers
ho marshalled two years ago against Hauna
are hore. Ktlbouruo has not only the old
frlonds of Sherman , but quite an army of
now men of his following. All of the can
didates seem to have brought In all the
"rooters" available.
The Indications tonight are that there will
bo opposition to the adoption of the proposed
constitution lhat provides a more definite
plan of party organization and a uniform
system for selecting delegates to all demo
cratic conventions.
Autl-McLcan movement.
After the arrival of Colonel James Kll-
bourne 'tonight ' the friends of all other can
didate's except Ihoso for McLean rallied
around him and tboro was qulto an anti-
McLean movement and a demonstration in
honor of Kilbourne.
Colonel Kllbourno , , made a fine Impression
and proved a popular leader , but neither ho
nor his friends would give out any figures.
It was currently reported lhat Ihe McLean
men found they would gain less lhan Kil
bourne in Iho "breakaway" from local fa
vorites and for that reason they had de
cided to keep pherwood , , Hogkell , , Lenjtz and
Chapman in the fieldas tne , , JIcCean.mjjn
claimed Beventy-slx over all , and they"'dld
not < want the Kilbourne vote to roach 300.
There waa some color given to this report
( by the fact that Haskcll had been consid
ered out of the race during the day and
working in the Interest of McLean and to
night Haskell announced that he was in the
race again and would stick for a ballot.
The anti-McLean men said McLean found
he could not hold a majority of the vote in
Haskell's district and for the reason wanted
him to remain. All sorts of plans were
worked to prevent McLean from gaining on
his leader or from gelling Ihe nomination
without a hot fight or close balloting. Mc
Lean has held hie support up to midnight ,
but there is no report of any gains tonight
and all of the candidates have held their
own , including Haskell , who had at one time
said bo would' not have his name presented
to the convention. The anti-McLean men
feel confident tonight of carrying half a
dozen districts.
ADVANCE IN PRICE OF MEAT
Now York Butchers Connlder Projni-
.Itloii to liny All Their Cattle
from a TexnM Company.
NEW YORK , Aug. 28. The Now York
Retail Butchers' Mutual Protective associa
tion met tonight to consider the questions
arising out of the recent advance in the
prlco of meat. It Is believed they will take
steps slmirar to these taken Ly the Greater
New York Butchers' association , which re
cently decided to organlzo a corporation
for the purpose of lighting tbo big weatern
dealers. The Greater New York association
sent Louis A. Meyer , its financial secretary ,
to tonight's meeting.
The plan which Mr. Meyer presented
came through a letter from a company
known as the Capital company of north
western Texas. The letter claims that the
company has at tbo present tlmo 160,000 head
of cattle , which it will ship to New York
at once. It says It can supply New York
with 290,000 moro In a year. The price ot
cattle to butchers Is to be from $26 to $28
on foot. This prlco , Mr. Meyer claimed , Is
4 centa lower than the price now being
paid by the retailers and would enable them
to sen beef as low as before the latter ad
vance.
The letter further stated also that Ar
mour , Swift and Company , etc. , have been
buying their cattle for ten years and have
been paying so low a prlco that they are
hardly nblo to contlnuo In the business and
are willing to make a change at almost any
sacrifice. In order to confer with the local
retailers John B. Clarke of Port Worth , Tex. ,
has been In town for several days.
The man at the head of the Capital
company is James J. Sullivan , who signed
the letter sent to the butchers. The moot
ing tonight was presided over by George H.
Shaffer , president of the association. It
was decided at present not to accept the
plan offered by ihe Greater Now York asso
ciation. Tholr reason , as explained by sev-
craf members of the organization , Is that the
butchers wdll furnish meat to first class
families and they have not felt the advancu
sj freely as tha butchers of the west side
did. The butchers' state and national or
ganizations had representatives present.
The World tomorrow will say ; , "The ad
vance in boot has been checked nnd that In
some instances there has boon a silent re
action in prices. Two weeks ago the whole
salers called In their outslda men , who
travel about from one butcher shrp to an
other. Yesterday some of these men re
sumed their routes and stopped to talk
cheerfully of better times for butchers. The
butchers believe that the wholesalers are
awakening to the fact that other people can
go into buying cattle and the eale of beef ,
The butchers will meet Tuesday evening
for further consideration of plans for es
tablishing arblttolres and packing houses.
It is said the offers of capitalists to assist
the movement and offers of cattlemen to
furnish cattle * be considered.
The subscription from butchers alone ha *
re o1ie4 $1,000,000. , The publlo nill bo per
mitted to subscribe $2,000,000 nnd the re
maining stock , U Is believed , will bo taken
up by putildersi Is proposed to etnrt the
concern with a working capital of $5,000,000.
REV , TREF2 WILL ACCEPT
Able You UK Preacher to llpcomc Pnn-
tor ot Kotmtze Memorial
Church.
A telegram received from Rer. Edward
T. Trefz of St. Joeph conveys the informa
tion lhat be111 accept the call recently
extended to him by Kountzo Memorial
Lutheran church of this city and will as-
sumb the pastorate September 10. Ho hns
resigned "his position as editor of the St.
Joseph Herald , and will prepare at once to
move to Ills dew field.
While Rev. Trofz's acceptance vna not un
expected , It vus rccelvel with marked satis ,
faction by the members of his proopectUa
congregation and by others who are glad to
welcome so nblo nn addition to the ranks ot
Omaha's pulpit orators. Whllo "ho Is yet a
young man , Rev. , Trcfz has acquired an
enviable reputation In , two professions , and
during hs | temporary occupancy of the
Omaha pulpit ho Impressed1 those who heard
him as a pulpit orator of high merit. Aside
from this , his genial manner nnd eoclnl
qualltlca were subjects of the most favor
able comment , and , the members of the
church consider themselves especially for-
lunato In their selection.
lteTrefz was'educated nt Midland college -
lego at Atchlson , Kirf. , nnd later ho studied
theology , coupled with a post graduate
course , at Prluccton university. During his
student days he drifted Into newspaper ivork
as a means of defraying his expenses nnd
this led to his subsequent experience as
editor of n dally paper.
Immediately after he completed his col
lege course , Rev. Trefz organized the First
English Lutheran church of St. Joseph , ac
complished the erection of a handsome
church cdlflce an * built' the church up to a
flourishing stfnvJftrd.f'He wan ordained a
minister In 1894 and continued his church
work until Ifcte In 1897 , when ho was In
duced to accept * thor editorial management
of the Herald. His ne\vspaper work , how
ever , did not prevent him from preaching
almost as regulariy ns though ho had a
regular pastorate and his ability In the pul
pit created a continual demand for his pres
ence , which he seldom refused.
It was In accordance -with this custom
that he accepted an invitation to fill the pul
pit at Kountzo Memorial church after the
resignation of Rev. Turkic left the church
without a pastor , and the enthusiastic call
from the congregation followed. Ho
preached In Omaha Sunday , and after the
services ho said that ho had almost decided
to accept. Ho declined to give a final
answer , however , until after he had returned -
turned to St. Joseph , and the news received
last night confirms the general expectation
of the congregation.

Food.
People do not always
realize the r.er-
sonal interest that a flrst-claas grocer takes
In the articles of food which ho furnishes
customers.
Soroo people believe that the grocer la
influenced by .the . proflt he may derive , nnd
that hla
recommendations are governed en
tirely by a mercenary motive , but this Is
not always true. On the contrary , it Is be
lieved that a majority of the bolter class
of grocers ara thoroughly honest in their
desire to furnish tholr patrons -with really
pure and nourishing food.
The following from Jno.Vlallgren , a prom

Grape-Nute and my trade is still Increasing
I have been bothered with n weak stomach

remedies and patent medicines without help
I am eating drape-Nuta three times a day
and after using three packages I must ad
mit that I am relieved of my weak stomach
and feel like a new man. "
There la a reason for this. A weak

without the UBO of any sort nf drug or acid
whatsoever. On the contrary , all of the
processes are purely mechanical , using slm-
ply moisture , time ( in which to grow the
diastase ) and heat , but Uie work of the

the result that the food is ready for Imme

The flavor Is exquisite and delicate , the

hazy's handwriting to the same lists as
the prisoner's writing. At the same time
the draughtsman declared that even If M.
B rtlllon had done so the results would
not have proved nnj thing.
In brief , the rooming's session" may be
said to ihavo been a Held day for the hand
writing experts , who devoted themselves to
demolishing one another's evidence. Th
public followed the depositions listlessly ,
but the Judges and counsel listened with the
greatest attention.
General De Boisdcffro was not present in
cheerful today. Ho hardly eald a word to
General Gonse during the whole morning ,
but during the brief suspension of tin
court's sitting he and Generals Gonso and
Roget walked up nnd down the courtara
of the Lyceo engaged In conversation.
General Do Bolsdeffre was not present In
court today. Ho hae bcoa absent from the
last few aesslons and It is rumored here
that ho is desirous of leaving the sinking
Bhlp of the general staff.
Fr tnetter Center of Iiilerrnt.
The center of Interest In the courtyard
was Captain Freystaetter of the marine In
fantry , who testified so favorably to Dreyfus
in Saturday and who seemingly gave the ilo
10 Colonel Maurel , who was president of the
: ourt-martial of 1894 , In a most Important
feature of Iho letter's evidence. The cap
tain , dressed in a blue-black Tunis , Indigo
t > luo trousers and wearing his five decora
tions , held a veritable reception of his
friends , who pressed around him and shook
ils hand. These friends , however , were all
: ivlllans. Not a single uniformed officer
spoke to him , which Is the first fruit of his
frankness and a clenr Indication of the de
termination of the military clique to ostra-
: lso him.
When the two first witnesses had testified
ind argued against M. Bertlllon's system it
ivas the opinion of the sympathizers of Drey
fus that If the statements of the witnesses
tvere correc tthey had simply pulverized M.
Bertillon. The latter wished to reply , but
the president of the court , Colonel Jouaust ,
lecllned to allow the specialist to go over his
svldonceJagaln , 'taking the ground that the
nvldencowould never end If every export did
: he eamo.
An amusing scene followed. M. Bertlllon
pleaded that he had a personal statement
to make and mounted the platform , but ho
had hardly uttered half a dozen words when
Colonel Jouaust saw ho was merely regrlnd-
Ing his evidence , and , to the great satisfac
tion of the audience , curtly told the specialist
to leave the platform , which ho did , dis
comfited.
Expert Confcniirfi Hln Error.
M. Teeslonere's testimony against Dreyfus
then followed and then M. Charavay , the
expert who had previously declared Dreyfus
was the author cf the bordereau , was called
to the witness bar. His testimony proved
to bo of the greatest interest , as he came to
confess ho had made on error and said bo
was now convinced that Esterhazy and not
Dreyfus wrote the bordereau. This an
nouncement made a deep Impression on the
court and was greeted with a general mur
mur of satisfaction. The next expert , M.
Polletlor , also testified favorably to Dreyfus.
M. Couard. another expert , then deposed
lhat , as the result of his examination , ho
had become convinced that the bordereau
was not written toy Eatorhazy , but ho could
not say it was written by Dreyfus , because-
ho had not seen the prisoner's handwriting.
This witness kept the court In a continual
roar of laughter by the extraordinary modu
lations of his voice , misplaced emphasis and
gestures.
The final witness , M. Varinaud , maintained
the declaration he had made before the
court of cassation , that the bordereau was
not written by Eaterhazy.
Colonel Jouaust then announced that M , do
Freyolnot , who resigned as minister of war
May 6 of the present year and who was suc
ceeded by M. Krantr , who In turn was suc
ceeded by General De Marquis do Galllfet on
the downfall of the Dupuy ministry , would
be among the witnesses tomorrow and the
session was closed with the rwiuost that a
rogatory commission bo sent to Colonel Paty
de Clam , whoee Illness prevents his attend
ance In court , to which Colonel Jouaust
agreed.
This step does not satisfy the defense , but
they acquiesced to the convmlEuloii taking
Du Paty de Clam's testimony on the
principal that half a loaf is better than no
bread , '
Maltro Demange of counsel for the de
fense asked the clerk of the court to read
the evidence of M , Attballn before the court
of cessation In regard to the genuineness of
Esterhazy's letter , which M. Couard doubted ,
and Iho evidence of others showing how the
letter was seized and testifying to Its
genuineness , which was done.
M , Varlnard , who , with Mm. Couard and
Bolhomme , acted n expert In the Esterhar.y
case , waa the next wltneM. He adhered to
bis report that the bordereau was not the
work of Eaterhazy and said he persisted In
this opinion In epite of Esterbazy's state
ments to the contrary , D of ore adjourning
for the day Colonel Jouaust announced that
M. de Freyclnet , former minister of war ,
M , Gaintet and Colonel Cordler would be
examined tomorrow ,
The commissary , Major parrlere , arose and
said : "I have handed the court a letter re
garding the health of Colonel Du Paty do
Olam. It indicates that Du Paty do Clam
Is writing his evidence and that ho will
send It to us. That deposition bos not
arrived. I therefore ask the president of
the court to be kind enough to Instruct the
reporter of the second Paris court-martial
to have the evidence of Du Paty de Clam
taken by court commission , "
Colonel Jouaust assented to this and at
11:60 : o'clock the court adjourned for the
lay.
