What will be the J opinion of the rank and file? I had a I most Interesting talk with one of the leading delegates from Nebraska, who, while not desiring his name mentioned, aid that If Bryan had not made his fight for a contesting delegation he would never have been able to force the majority to a realisation that he was still a power' among the privates of the democracy. If not among the officers. So Nebraska Is jubilant, the "peerless leader" has not been turned down, If temporarily sidotrncked. .' What Bryan Wrote.

July and August, Do your shopping In the Sixteenth and Douglas Stw of this many-sided pronouncement of the party's principles Bryan did write will probably be told In the personal organ of the sage of Lancaster. Now, why was not some reference made to the money question? Let me tell you what a delegate from Nebraska told me. "Bryan really did not want any refer ence to the currency, a he recognises that the money question Is a mere Inci dent of the approaching campaign. Then he did not want to be persistent In his de mand for a money clause, because he had things of more Importance upon which to balance with the conservatives. He argued that no reference to the money question would carry with It a tacit reaffirmation of the platforms of 196 and 1900 as to finance?. As he was In the midst of an unscrupulous opposition he decided to play Pant styles, worth $5. See window. new styles, all suits that have $6 to $7.50. out style of Suit wanted. VOTE But. tr ll Name. late. itftaftf atansiasmif asiatroma u the part of 'Foxy Qulller,' which be has done to perfection." Dabols nodsres. I asked Senator Fred Dubois of Idaho, who walked out of the St. Louis convention In 1S96, when he came out of the committee room on resolutions: "What did you do with the currency question T" "With what?" he asked. "With the currency question." "Why, I never knew of that." he an swered, with a smile that was childlike and bland. "What about protection?" I asked the suave, courtly John W. Daniel of Virginia. "Protection, sir. Is a robbery and getting worse every minute." So It went, from the heavy-hearted dele gates from Iowa, Nebraska and 8otith Da kota, who hsve taken soothing syrup to quiet their nerves, to the airy replies of the representatives from the, east and south. Opinions of Individual delegates are not to be had. for no one knows but the committee what Is In the platform: their first knowledge will be had whrn they read It In the papers In the morning, al though Chairman Daniel went through the motions of reading It to the convention to night. Make Tempting; Offer. Harry C. Evans of Des Moines, a son-in-law of General Weaver and a delegate to the convention, told one Interesting story of tha completeness of the Parker organ! . satlon. He said: "Iowa has eight sntl-Hearst men In the delegation. When the election of a suc cessor to Charley Wnlah as national com mitteeman cams up the Parker crowd in the delegation came to me with the sug gestion that I be a candidate for national committeeman from Iowa. They promised me their S votes and then named over members of the delegation of our pnrty who would support me as ognlnst Walsh. I told them It was out of the question, that I would stand by the friends of Hearst, who had elected amajorlty of the delega tion, and though Walsh might be unpopu lar I would not be a party to his defeat. Later the Parkerites held out a most al luring proposition. They said If I would stand for national committeeman and be elected the national committee would elect me Its secretary at a salary of J5.000 for four years, but, loyal to the Instructions of the state convention, I told the Parker ites that they could not buy me." E. C. S. FIRST GUN FIRED FOR PARKER (Continued from First Page.) men was so great that many persons with out tickets forced their way Into the hall. The first genuine reception of the evening was given to David B. Hill of New York, who made his first appearance In the hall. General Nolson A. Miles was also present for the first time. At 8 o'clock, there wns not a vacant seat. From platform to top most gallery was packed with delegates, alternates and spectators. Ths heat was Intense. On the outside the crowd was even greater than within tke Coliseum. Tickets sold so cheap that they were within the means of all. The only trouble was that the cheapest tickets were for seasons gone by and the buyer took his own chances on getting by the doortenders. The streets on the four sides of the Coli seum were Impassable. Street cars got through with difficulty and with danger to humanity. Ixng after the hall was filled ths crowd pressed against the entrance, loath to give up the hope of getting In. Convention Called to Order. A series of energetic thumps on the pre siding officer's table were given by Chair man Clark at 1:03 o'clock in an endeavor to call the convention to order.. The read ing clerk, ordered the floor officers to clear the aisles. As Mr. Clark stood at the desk Senator Daniel of Virginia, chairman of the resolutions committee, made bis way to his side with a copy of the platform. It was announced that the report of the committee would be received and at the statement the first demonstration of the night session ocourred. Senator Daniel began his announcement during the uproar "I am Instructed to make to the conven tion," he began, "thla unanimous report from ths committee on resolutions." The senator's persistence had the desired effect although it was several minutes before the convention composed Itself, and warning had to be given by the raUn l. quiet must be preserved. Daniel Reads Platform. Senator Daniel's exhaustion from his long session with- the resolutions commit tee was apparent. To the vast audience which faced Mm ha was but a silent fig ura with moving lips. Ten minute, went by with the same disorder, the reading of the platform not hfn h.. . - v. Limn I it n Clark demanded order Ineffectually. siuroanees resulting from cries for order from various portions of the hall exhausted the patience of. Chairman Clark and ha gave personal direction to have several persons hushed or put out. Sena tor Daniel refused to e disturbed. H proceeded with the reading of the plat form regardless of the tart ih.t . soul In the hall heard a word, except, per- nm menugrapner who stood at the tepa Just beneath him. Moves for Adoption. Senator Daniel said: "I am unanimously Instructed by your committee n to move the previous question and Its adoption, ana I now make that motion." It was adopted by a Viva VrwiA vnt. or three delegates voting In tha negative. apparently in a spirit of fun. Chairman Clark then put tha motion to adopt the report and another viva voce vote car ried It. Temporary Chairman Williams mounted the steps leading un to the V.i.., swung Ms hat around his head and the delegates, following his lead, roared their applause again and aaaln while tha h.r. played "Hall Columbia." "Tha clerk will now call the rrn r .,..,. for the nomination of a candidate president," shouted the chairman. A wild crjt or aeiignt came from the galleries, who seemed to think the whni hir, . show run for their entertainment. "Alabama," shrieked the clerk. "Alabama yields to the F.mptre state of New York," called Delegate Russell of Alabama, standing In his chair, one arm grasping the standard of his state marker. Nominations In Order. Martin W. Littleton of New York, of medium height and sturdy figure, with a full, clean shaven face, with a heaw m... of dark brown hair tossed back from his brow and ears took the stand amid rlnrlnv applause to place Judge Parker ef New i org in nomination. Mr. Littleton's manner of aneakin i calm and deliberate and he uses but few gestures. His voice Is full, resonant and of decidedly pleasing quality and could be heard further than that of any speaker who had preceded him. with the possible exception of Richard P. Hobson. Littleton Nominates Parker. Martin W. Littleton of New York said In part: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con vention We do not e&pect here that stupid peace which smells of chloroform. We do not wlh that unctuous unanimity which springs from the unconfllctlng emotions of a solitary man. We would not have our harmony In a single harness. We, too, love Che stir of strenuous life; but ws believe In equal strenuousnvss for sll and sperlal strenuousness fur none. Ws do not derive our power from the seats cf tha mighty, but the souls t the humble. We do not ask for liutue agreement spring ing from faithless fires; but rather out bursts of dissension Issuing from robust freedom. The country called upon New York for the best of its brain and blood, and New York answers with a man who cut his way through poverty and toil until he found the highest peak of power and honor In the state. The country called upon New York for a democrat and New York an swers with a man who learned the simple lemons of democrstlc faith In the fur rowed field, who took them with Increasing strength to the bar snd finally honored them by his exalted station on the bench, a man, who throughout his career from poverty to power never in fair weather or foul forsook the standards of his party faith or deserted the colors of his com mand. The country called upon New York for a democrat free from factional dispute and New York answers with a man friendly to all factions, but a favorite, snd afraid of none; a man who Will take counsel and courage of both, but who will take the bit terness of neither, a man who will not stir the hatred of the past nor share the (. r t m ii n r.t tha nr.i.nt hilt who Will lead us up toward the future Into a cloudless atmosphere of party peace. The country called upon New York for a man to fit this, the critical hour and place in our nntional life and New York answers with a man who puts against the strenuous sword plav of a swaggering administra tion, a simple faith In all the perfect power of the constitution: a man who puts against an executive republic a view of the constitutional rppubllc, a man who puts against executive usurpation a knowl edge of and a deep love for the poise snd balance of Its three great powers; a man who puts against the stealthy hunt "with the big stick'' a faithful observance of con stitutional restraints. The country called on New York for a man of stainless char acter In private and public life and New York answers with a man whose path leads from the sweet and simple fireside of his countrv home, where he enjoys ths gentle society of his family, to his place of labor and honor st the head of one of the greatest courts in Christendom. We appeal to every democrat everywhere to forget the bitter warfsre everywhere, forget the strife and anger of the older, other days; abandon all the grudge and rancor of party discontent nnd recalling with ever Increasing pride the triumphs of our fifty vears of a constitutional govern ment of liberty and peace In this spirit New York nominates for president of the United States Alton B. Parker. Mr. Littleton was given close attention. For the first time during the session .there was silence In the hall and his fine voice suppressed the fiend In the gallery with his cry of "louder." His speech was received with alternate cheers and outbursts of approving laughter, few points being lost on his audience. A terrific outburst of cheering followed Mr. Littleton's remark about Judge Par ker. "If you ask me why he has been silent, I answer because he has not attempted to be the master of his party, but Is content to be Its servant." Enthusiasm Follows Speech. All that had happened In the convention up to the time Mr. Littleton concluded his address multiplied many times was as al most nothing compared to the hurricane that broke out when he mentioned the name "Alton B. Parker" on the part of the Parker delegates. It was a revelation In the passion of politics. Like one man they sprang up In their chairs with everything thnt could be waved tossed high In the air. Screaming frantically and tossing high a silken banner Inscribed "Florida, safe and sound.". Indian Territory New Jersey, Maryland, Texas, Georgia and many other states fell In behind and with wild yells followed on. Michigan came next and her great blue banner was borne up the stejs of the p'atform behind the chairman's desk, where It was held high and waved wildly to and fro. ' American flags appeared magically and tossed flaming bits of color Into the scene. At the expiration of twenty-two min utes efforts were made to still the demon stration. A megaphone shout near the platform was begun for "Parker!" "Parker!" "Alton B. Parker!" however, and things again broke loose. The demon stration lasted twenty-five minutes. Bryan Was Qnfei. Throughout the enthusiasm the Nebraska delegation, Bryan at Its head, sat, the members craning their heads to see what was going on, but without rising. When the demonstration waa at its height Mr. Bryan sent a message to someone In the other part of the hall and aoon he was In conference with several anti-Parker men. Commanding the highest view of anyone on the floor of the hall were five boys In the New York delegation who were lifted on their fathers'' shoulders and from that height led the cheering of the delegation, keeping time with waving flags. "Arkansas!" shouted the clerk when quiet was restored. "Arkansas yields to Tennessee," answered the chairman of tne delegation. Senator Carmack of that state was recognised and at once took the platform and began a speech seconding the nomination of Judge Parker. Senator Carmaok concluded his speech at 10:15. The galleries seised the opportunity for a shout and disturbance reigned for some minutes, while Chairman Clark pounded with his gavel for order. "California." called the clerk. "Mr. Chairman' responded Delegate Tarpey, "California recognises as Its spokesman E. M. Delmas." . Delmas Nominate Hearst. "I recognise B. M. Delmss of California," sald the chairman, and a volley of cheers came from the audience, Mr. Bryan leading It by standing up and waving a small American. flag. Mr. Delmas. who took the platform to speak for William R. Hearst, while not possessed of a voice of the strong carrying qualities of Mr. Littleton's, could easily mako himself heard by the majority of the people In the hall. Mr. Delmas' addresa was as follows: 1 For the first time In history California presents as a candidate for the great office of chief executive of the republic one born and reared upon her soil. She bespeaks your indulgence while she sets forth the motives which animate her hopes and the claims which Justify the asplrstions of her son. California's candidate is no stranger to public life. He is today the representative In congress of the imperial state which Is now his home. Without New York it Is confessedly Idle to look for victory next November. Can he carry New York? Less than two years ago he ran for congress In a district which the year before had given the demo cratic nominee for mayor of Greater New York a majority of only 1.800. That district he carried by mora than 16,000. Buck a ma jority exceeds by over 1,000 that given In the seme district but a' few year's before to the learned and distinguished Jurist who was then elected chief Justice of the state, and It is greater by nearly (.000 than that given a year later to the democratic can didate fcr msyor, although he threw Into the contest the weight which posterity ac cords to sn honored and historic name. That majority represented tt out of every loo votes cast. In hours which tried men's souls others have deserted the ship. His democracy has remained stesdfast and con stant as the Northern star. His political practice and politics! creed finds fitting expression In his address ac cepting his nomination for congress, where, In words thst Jefferson might havs ut tered, he said: "I have always devoted my energies and abilities, whatever they may be. to the cause of the plain people and I shnll continue to do so. The laws must now be applied, and where neces sary must be strengthened, to protect the Brain Workers use Grape-Nuts "THERE'S A REASON." Get the little book.

Catarrh of 5tomach From Coughs and Colds, and Other Ills Cured by Pe-ru-na When Other Medicines Failed. Hon. M. C. Butler, of South Carolina, waa United States Senator from that state for two terms. In a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., from Washington, D. C, he says: "t can recommend Peruna for dyspepsia and stomach. I have been using your medi cine for a short period and I feel very much relieved. It Is Indeed a wonderful medicine besides a good tonic." M. C. Butlpr. The only rational way to cure dyspepsia Is to remove the catarrh. Peruna has won Its way Into thousands of homes and mil lions of hearts by Its marvelous cures of catarrhal affections. Peruna does not pro duce artificial digestion. It cures cstnrrh and leaves the stomach to perform diges tion In ft natural way. This Is vastly better snd safer than resorting to artificial methods. Peruna has cured more cases of dyspepsia than all other remedies combined, simply because It cures catarrh wherever located. If catarrh has fastened Itself In the throat o bronchial tubes, Peruna cures It. When catarrh becomes settled In the stomach, Peruna cures It, as well In this location as any other. Peruna Is t.ot simply "a remedy for dys pepsia. Penina Is a catarrh remedy. Pe runa cures dyspepsia because It Is gener ally dependent upon catarrh. A Most Wonderfnt Care of Dyspepsia Made by Pe-ra-na. A. C. Lockhart, corner Cottage Street and Thurston Road, Rochester, N. Y., writes: "Abont fifteen years aao I com menced to he alllngr with a species of dyspepsia nnd called on n physician, who aave she only temporary relief. "I consulted another physician with no better resnlts. I am now taklna; the fifth bottle of pain anywhere. My bowels move rca nlarly every day and I have taken on elahteea ponnds of flesh, my nsnal weight belna 14(1 ponnds. I was down at on time ae low as one hnndred and twenty-six ponnds." A. C. l.oek hart. The only way to cure a disease Is to strike at and get to the source of the Indisposi tion. A cold left to run on and on Induces catarrh and catarrh produces consumption. What Is catarrh but a consumption of the vital life forces of one's body? Many people die from consumption, when, if the caso were more closely diagnosed tt would be called catarrh. The speclfio cure for catarrh Is Peruna. people against that powerful and unscrup ulous criminal combination known as a trust." Unswerving In his devotion to these prin ciples, constant as the needle to the pole In Jila purpose, he stands before the Amer ican people today, a living monument to these principles. Mr. Delmas' address., which closed with the name "William Randolph Hearst," waa the signal for cheers, which, while en thusiastic, were much less In volume than those that followed the mention of Par ker's name. A six-foot portrait of Hearst was taker. to the platform, another of similar slse waa raised in the gallery back of the plat form. The parade around the hall, which had been carried cm during the preceding demonstration, waa quickly undertaken, California leading off with Its great ban ner of white and gold, Arlsona, Nevada, Iowa, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming joining In the order named, some of them carrying pictures of Hearst. The galleries Joined lustily in the Hearst ap plause, making perhaps a stronger demon stration than they had made for Parker. "The state of Colorado," called the clerk. I The response was Immediate, and Thomas O'Donnell was Introduced and began a speech seconding the nomination of Judge Parker. The quiet of exhaustion prevailed as Mr. O'Donnell proceeded, and approval of his utterances was confined to hand clapping. rppercnts by Darrow. At 12:01 o'clock Idaho was called, but made no response. "Illinois," shouted the clerk, and Clarence Darrow of that state was presented and be. gan a speech seconding the nomination of Hearst. He made this fact pluln at the outset and at the name of Hearst the galleries vented their enthusiasm. When he said, "It seems to be fate that the men who once scuttled the democrat ship shall once more be placed In power," there were cheers and hisses. "The democracy of Jefferson, the democ racy of Bryan," waa a phrase from Mr. Parrow which struck the convention. After the shout which followed, a voice from the gallery behind the platform rang out; "Three cheers for Bryan." The cheers were given with a will. Mr. Darrow's speech en livened the wearying crowd and he was frequently applauded. Mr. Darrow ooncluded at 11:18 o'clock. Indiana was called next and J. W. Kern responded to second the nomination of Judge Parker. lownn Wore Than Dnrrow. When Iowa was reached one of the dele gates arose and declared that he repre sented one of the "unpurchased and unpur chaaable delegates" of that state.. Here confusion became very great and an attempt was made to stop his speech. Tha chair rapped for order. Owing to the opposition In the Iowa delegation he went to tha Arkansas delegation, where he mounted a chair. The eoafuslon continued very great. Sara S. Wright of Tipton, tha delegate, rose to second the nomination of Parker. He was taken to the platform amid great cheering. Wright declared that he came from a section of Iowa which elects democratic congressmen and where democrats are not educated in "Coin's financial school." He seconded the nomination of Judge Parker. This developed great cheering. When he returned to his seat his fellow delegates from Iowa attempted to deprive him of his seat. Police had to quiet matters In thst section of the hall. He then went to the Oeorgla delegation, which accorded him a seat. COCHRAN RKIOLl'TIOl VOTED DOWN Offers as an Amendment Financial Plank of Senator HI1L ST.

Mayor Gilbert also wired Senator Long and Congressman Bower sock, asking them to assist In securing the aid requested from the government. . With the first signs of danger In the west bottoms hurried messages were sent for wagons and (die men on the streets were pressed Into service removing goods from the threatened district. ' Boon a string of vehicles began moving to and from the bottoms. Chief Hayes sent twenty additional patrolmen to assist the regular detail. They were Instructed to assist residents of that section In moving household goods In cases of emergency. In the business district there are several squatters. At the Wilson retail and whole sale grocery, the water had backed up Into the basement and goods were taken to the second floor. The Rldenour-Baker Grocery company moved goods from the basement. After midnight water began running Into the barber shop 'in tbe basement of the Blossom house, directly across Union ave nue from the Union depot. This came from the clogging of sewers and caused more activity among those who still had goods In basements. Along West Ninth street, three blocks from - the depot, water was beginning to Invest small houses, and houses near the Kansas-Missouri line and on Jules street the same conditions existed. Along both sides of this street wagons of every de scription were backed up to the curb, and men, women and children, unmindful of the pouring rain, rushed back and forth between the houses and the wagons In a scramble to escape with their property before the expected deluge arrives.
