County Ticket and state Conven-

WALLACE, Idaho, Aug 1s.-The dele.

Nearly all were nominated by acclama-
tion. The most interest centered on the
sheriff. There were four candidates in
ths field this morning. Mr.. Cunning.

The republicans regard him as an easy
man to beat. Argeyle is regarded as a
strong man. 1t is thought that Waite

Agnew was elected chairman OF the
central committee.
The platform was adopted after all
business was transacted. 1t was drawn
up by Alex Mayhew. 1t took careful
work-here for instance: The demo-
cratic party halls with delight the dignity
and glory of tie statehood so recently
conferred upon Idaho, and assumes its
share Of the burdens OF the state gov
ernment with confidence inspired by its
former belief IN the democratic doctrines
oil home rule. So long as the law-mak-
ing power insists upon legislation for
the protection of our industries, the tar
i'll will not be removed"
1t also calls Tor tariif reform and free
silver.
The republicans do not regard the
ticket as strong especially the legis'
lative. 1t is thought that Ex-Governor
Stevens will be nominated for governor
and John ii alley ior congress.
Frank Ganahl delivered an eloquent
speech. from which it could be inferred
that he would accept the United States
senntorship.
The delegates to the state convention
are instructed to work for Mayhem ioi
district Judge and Holleman, of Koo
tenai county, for district attorney.

the MISSOURI FARMERS.
A Protrscted Fight Over the Report
ON kesolutfonx

SEDALIA, Mo-. Aug. IT, The last days 5
proceedings of the Farmers and Labor
ers' Union did not end until 1880 this
morning There was protracted fgh
over the report Of the committee on
resolutions.
The resolutions adopted declare that
the alien ownership OF land be forever
prohibited; that all money should be
issued and its volume controlled by the
national government; in favor OF the
tree and unlimited coinage OF silver
that the national banking system should
be abolished; that option dealing, or
gambling in agricultural and mercan-
tile productions, should be prohibited
by law; that the civil service laws
should be enforced in all departments OF
the national and state govern
ments; that the government should
have the ownership and control of
all railroad and telegraph lines !;
and that the Australian system of vut.
ing should be extended to all the voting
precincts in the state.
On the tariff question the resolution 8
are strictly in line With the democratic
party policy. The tariff plank is as fol
lows: believing our government to be
founded on the idea that all men shall
have an equal chance In the race OF life,
and that no taxes shall be collected
directly, or indirectly. from the people,
except what are necessary to carry on
the government, economically and hon.
estly administered, We demand such a
revision OF the laws rs will lay the
heaviest burdens on tine luxuries and
the iigbtest on the necessities of life, and
that all tariffs be gradua reduced"
The resolutions conclude with this
declarations; I'VE will not support any
man Tor legislative office in any
political party who will not pledge him :
sell III writing TO use his influence for
she formulation of these demands into

THE NJ KINLES BILL.
Renewed Protestations From All
Parts Of France.

PARIS, Aug. l6.-The Mckinley bill
still exctes commercial circles in the
city and provinces. The recent consul
lar conference held in this city received
complaints from nearly thirty chambers
of commerce, pointing out the difficulty
of complying with the provisions of the
bill without almost destroying trade
The conference passed resolutions ie-
gretting that the delegation from the
chambers of commerce did not attend
the sessions, as it could have been shown
that the bill did not oppress
honest importers, that its only aim was
to protect tho revenues OF the Uni.ed
States, and that tho fines and penalties
imposed by the bill were chiefly re-
enactments of old laws.
The conference decided to forward the
com munications received from the
chamber of commerce to Washington
for the most favorable consideration that
the terms OF the law would permit. The
French press has magnilied the resolu-
tions into the promise TO waive some of
the most strongest requirements OF the
law. The papers appear TO believe that
the American consular body has the will
and the right to nullify acts OF congress.

DEATH IN THE LAKE.
A Draymaa Crippled and Drowned
mt Ceur d. 'Alene.

CGUR D'ALENE City, Aug. 16.-The
third fatality within the past two weeks
occurred nj this city at o +. NJ. to-day.
John NJ. Miller, who has followed drag.
ging and teaming for,the past three years,
was violently thrown into the lake and
had his back and leg broken, while at
tempting to turn his horses on the
Northern Pacific docks. Opinions as TO
his immediate death are varied, some
claiming that he was drowned as he Tell
under the wagon box, from which he
could not eXtricate himself The docks
here are very inconvenient for unload
ing freight when cars are on the tracks.
No blame is attached to anyone. as Nil
ler's team evidently..became unmanagea.
Bile. John NJ. Miller CAME to this coun-
try from Dayton, WASH, during the ex-
element of 1854, and was at one time
reputed to be well fixed in finances. A
too liberal heart and q taste for strong
drink reduced him in commercial stand
ing and for the past year his sons, OF
whom he leaves four, have supported
the family of seven. In a way he was
we'll thought of and his sudden death
casts gloom of sadness over the city.
Kind and willing hands are rendering
all the assistance possible. The funeral

by the Police.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1s.--A letter
from Guatemala states that PROPOSE
tion has been issued that all men who
were not ready Tor military duty would

"he will probably sack the town.
Americans arc safe for they receive
protection at the legation. All servants,
even those on the coffee plantations,
have been drafted into the war; and
there are not enough to supply food.
Provisions bring enormous prices. Bust
ness is at q standsttll, and the city is
under martial law. Twenty Americans
and as many Germans and French
offered their services to Barrilas. They
were refused. About 1900 soldie RS
have already left the city Tor the from
tier. Men are attracted TO public enter
talnments, and are there seized by the

that much excitement prevails in Hills

the discovery of farm hand named
Monroe, about 30 years OF age, lying

His face was In the dust, and when the
coroner examined him ho discovered
that rifle ball had entered his right
side at the waist, coming out the left
shoulder. The fatal wound was of such
II peculiar nature that it is scarcely
possible that he could have inflicted 1t
himself, either accidentally or with
suicidal intent. There are strong sus-
picions of foul play, and the tragedy is

THE rMPERoR's PERSONALITY.

Herr Ritter, free conservative, member
of the lower house OF the Prussian diet,
in speech to-day said that from per-
sonal observation in the state council
he had the highest appreciation of the
personality OF the emperor. No German
devoted himself so exclusively, with
every fibre of his being and all the
warmth of his heart, to further the ma
tional welfare. The conciliatory
power Of the emperor was modifying
the demands OF the workingmen.
Labor was beginning again to bow TO the
sacredness of tho law. The emperor
grasped what was lustihable in tho
workingmnn's demands, and protected
and upheld them. This the working
men themselves recognized, and became
willing to cooperate with the govern
ment to give Germany permanent in
ternational peace. The speech Will
draw the attention OF the whole country.
