ACCEPTS HIS PARTY'S CALL
John (i. Woiille)- Formally Xotltleil of
II U .Vinnliiat Inn hy l'rn
lilliltioiilftla. CHICAGO, July 20. John G. Woolley.
prohibition candidate for the presidency of
tho United States, was formally notified of
his nomination at n meeting held tonight In
Central Music hall. The hall was crowded
with members of the party and the speeches
of Samuel Dickie of Albion, Mich., who
acted as chulnnan of the national conven
tion which placed Mr. Woolley In nomina
tion, nnd of Mr. Woolley wero received with
great enthusiasm. Oliver M. Stuart, chair
man of tbo executive committee for the
state of Illinois, presided and made a short
address In opening the meeting. Ho then
brought forward Mr. Dickie, who spoko In
part as follows:
The duty assigned mo tonight Is n purely
formal one, and yet ono which I am able to
discharge with tho utmost heartiness. Wa
nre here to give ofllclal notice to the presi
dential nominee of tho prohibition party
that ho hus been chosen to lead whut, to
many, Is Buro to seem a forlorn hope.
The speaker dwelt at somo length upon
tho humanitarian aspect of tho nations of
tho earth rushing to prevent tho outrage
In China and declared tho woes and havoc
created by ruin far exceeded those of the
"yellow terror beyond tho Pacific." The
speaker then declared that the nominee of
tho prohibition party was doing what the
nominee of no other party dared do and that
was to throw down tho gauntlet of detlanre
to the liquor power. The nominee of the.
prohibitionists stood, ht said, for all that
the church represented and yet It wob not
at all euro that the churches would stand
by him In the tight against tho rum power.
He concluded as follows
Our candidate represents In his person
and opinions nil those Interests that nro or
ought to bo dear to every American who
lovxii his home, his country nnd hU God,
nnd In behalf, not of tho candidate, but of
the cuto he champions, we have a right to
expert the support of tho choicest of Amer
ican manhood.
Mr. Woolley, In replying to tho notifica
tion speech of Mr. Dickie, spoko in part ns
follows
1 accent this nomination, not ns tho
leader of n forlorn hope, but us a color
bearer In the next und greatest forward
movement of humanity. For It seems well
In lino of tho most studious moderation to
bcllovo thnt organized conscience as repre
sented by the church nnd organized greed
as represented by the liquor trnlllc nlo
forming rnpldlv In Amcrlenn politics for the
grentest pitched battle of tho ages, and In
that fight ho Is tho chief of dullards who
cannot pick tho winner.
Our success depends upon the advance
ment of no candidate. If It were so wo
mlcht well feel discouraged at tho pros-
Ecct. Our Issue Is our real nominee, nnd If
ut 600,000 Chrlstlnn men be with It we will
elect It on tho 6th of next November.
Hut two errors confront us nil tho wny,
that which says, "Public sentiment Is not
ready; this thing cannot bo done," and that
which says, "It is right; wo shall win
quickly."
If nubile sentiment Is not ready wo must
get It ready, and that cannot bo done by
surrendering to tho enemy. Hut the sup
position wrongs tho people. Hut If they
but can have their attention drawn and
held to tho religious nrgument, ns opposed
to party expediency. They have been
drngced about In tho "bad lands" of poli
tics until they are discouraged and per
.verted In Judgment, so that they do not rea
son of righteousness nt nil. Wo do not need
to crcnto sentiment, but to collect It, and
that cannot be dono quickly. Our light Is
not against tho poonle, or even agnlnst the
saloon primarily, hut we light to sot up an
deal, and victory In such a matter neither
halts nor hurries.
I say, on tho ground of both good morals
nnd good politics,' tho next great business
of this country Is to got Itself upon a
strulght-out conscience busts, trusting any
civil service" thnt comes out of thnt to bo
reliable In minor things.
,,'y,. the, revolution of 1776 we set tip the
Iduul of liberty; by tho revolution of 1753 we
set up tho Ideal of social confederacy; by
tho revolution of 1S61 wo set up tho Ideal of
natlonnl unity. Not one nf these Ideals Is
yet renllzed In perfect fact, but they nre
coming on. Uy the revolution of 1000 we
shnll set up natlonnl righteousness, which,
providentially, Is ready, to loyal hands In
tho Issue of tho prohibition party.
DUBOIS WINS OUT IN IDAHO
Democratic State Convention Hp
vcrscH Stand ami Include Sen.
ntor In Apportionment.
POCATELLO, Idaho, July 20. Today tho
domocratie convention reveretd Its action
of last night, when, by a narrow margin
of four votes, It adopted a resolution declar
ing thnt It would not nominate a candidate
for senator. During the ulght earnest work
was done by tho friends of ex-Senator Du
bois. It was stated positively there could
bo no fusion of sliver parties unless Du
bois was nominated. This nrgument had
considerable effect among tho delegates and
when the convention met this morning It
was understood thero would probably bo a
change, this knowledge causing n ncrvoua
feeling to overspread the gathering.
As soon ns tho convention met, Delegate
Frazer moved to reconsider tho ballot.
Thcro wero two- points of order raised, one
that tho motion could not be entertained
becauso no notice had been given, another
that a two-thirds voto would bo required
to carry the motion. Both points were) overruled-nnd
the roll wan' colled, the vote belnc
120 to 125 In favor of the motion. The Du
bois men then referred nn amendment In
tho form of n substitute Instructing tho con
ferenco committee to apportion the office
of senator, but without roferenco to tho
nomination of n candidate.
This reiolutlon carried, 132 to 113. The
rcjult was accepted' as a complcto victory
for Mr. Duholt?. It being conceded that ho
would secure the ofilcc In the apportionment
nnd virtually bo nominated. It Is said,
however, that strong effort Is being mado
to secure the apportionment for the demo
crats and that tllere will bo another con
test In "the convention.. After tho morn
ing Besslon the "crfnycnt'lon did nothing, re
maining lh rcccMwal'tlng for a report from
tho conference fommlttce.
At 10:15 p. ' rY." thcTo Is still no report.
Tho populist's ar6 seeking to secure con
trol of tho Btatd' government nnd to this
end they proposed a division, giving them
almost everything, tho silver republicans
being accorded senator and secretary of
stato and tho democrats school superin
tendent, lieutenant governor and two elec
tors. Tho democrats later offered them
auditor, mine Inspector nnd congressman
and tho silver republicans senator ond sec
retary of rtate. Over these propositions
tho contest Is proceeding and there Is yet
no Indication of the outcome. Until tho
division Is disposed of nothing can be fore
casted respecting candidates. The populists
are willing to take governor and either sec
retary of state, auditor or both, the latter
with tho right to reject any nomination
for governor unacceptable to them. This
would glvo them control of the stato
boards.

JESTER KNOWN BY TWO NAMES
llvlilenee In Aetv I.oidIoii Trial llrlnus
Decided Victor)- for the
.State.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 20. A special to tho
Post-Dispatch from New London, Mo., says;
George W. Koudebush, one of the special
examiners of the pension bureau, was placed
on tbe stand In the Jester trial today. He
Identified the certificates and applications
for pension made by Alexander Jester, alias
W. A. Hill.
B. F. Wllklns of Normnn, Okl., clerk of the
Second district court, testified that he knew
tho prisoner as W. A. Hill and had assisted
him In getting a pension nnd also a divorce.
When Jester was first arrested at Shawnee,
Okl. i ho denied his Identity. He claimed he
was not Alexander Jester, tho man who
traveled through Kansas and Missouri with
Gilbert W. Gates. Attorneys for tho pris
oner made a light to keep out the pension
papers, as they' pVo-'b' 'conclusively thnt
Jcetcr has been known under two names.
Tho Judgo admitted tho evidence, nnd the
letters Jester had written to tho Pension
department and tho application ho raade
was read. It was' a decided victory for the
stato and mado tho old prisoner look very
sad.
Taken In connection with 4 divorce pro
ceeding In Oklahoma, It appears from tho
pension papers read that Jester was married
to Dollah Jester, probably In tho '50s. She
wont to Kansas and died In 187S. However,
on Juno IS, 1870, Jester swears he was mar
ried In Toxas to Julia Reynolds, who bore
him thrco children. From her ho secured
a divorce nt Norman, Okl.., on November
34, 1894. On May 21, 1S96, ho was married
to Mdrgarct E. Brown.
In n series of questions submitted to Jes
ter by II. Clay Evans, tho commissioner of
pensions, Jester claimed that he had no chil
dren, white, In fact, ho had at least night
living at tho ttmo the' statement was made.
In the samo scries of questlono he made
mention of only ono wlfo, whllo the court
records show him married thrco times at
least, and nt tbo time at his arrest ho was
engaged to bo married again.
In the following letter to the Pension de
partment Je3ter explains how he assumed
tho nnnio of Hill. He wrote: "Hill was
my own father's name. Jester was my step
father's name. I wns nbout IM years old
whon my mother mnrrled Jestor and I went
by tho name of Aleo Jester till after the
war closed, when 1 took my own name.
Respectfully W. A. Hill."
J. E. Roark, W. S. Copp and Charles Bates
ot Denton, Tex., testified that-Uhey knew
Jester In Texas under tho namo of "W. A.
Hill."
While traveling through Indiana, Jester
stopped at Losantvllle, Wnyno county, whero
George W. Johnson says ha saw him exhib
iting his buffalo calf. He had two teams
and wagons. Mr. Johnson looked at tho
wagons and saw blood on tho hounds near
the coupling pin. Jestor wore a dark blue
suit of clothes much too smnll for him. The
witness wondered how ho got them on. Wit
ness said from Jester's downcast look tho
peoplo thought ho had killed a man some
where, nnd when they saw blood on tho
hounds of the wngon they knew that he had
not obtained the wagon by fair menns.
Andy Crawford saw Jester nnd his team
at Losantvllle, Ind., InOSTJ. Upon exam
ining the wagon to ascertain .Its make ho
saw blood on the hounds and coupling polo
of the wagon.
When Jestor wnB preparing to lcavo Los
antvllle, Ind., with his sister, Mrs. Stcet,
and her children, John II. Howell went to
see them. Ho saw Jester tako a trunk from
under tho bed. Ho extracted a suit of dork
blue clothes, much too small for him, nnd
a lot of shirts for his aunt to wash. Ho
noticed a lot of letters tn tho trunk, site a
revolver. It1 appeared to witness' that til
tho -clothes' wche, tbo 3mall for Jester.
