The Hon. C. c. Maffitt. chairman
of the state central committee called

utes to IL o'clock, and in doing 81 an

sion, it had been announced that the
convention would meet al
III o'clock. He then in
introduced Judge Norton as temper.
airy chairman of the convention.
Judge Norton, in accepting the
honor. made few telling remarks.
scoring the tariff robbery of the re.
publican party. He spoke eloquently
Of the principles of democracy, and
referred to the administration Of Gro.
yer Cleveland as compared with that
of Benjamin Harrison. The mention
of Cleveland's name called forth loud
applause.
Mr.. H. L. Gray was made secre
tary.
On motion the different districts re.
ported their committeeman who will
meet at the following place: Credentials
committee at city hall; committee on
resolutions, room Sc, Sicher's Hotel ;
permanent organization, parlor Of
Sicher's Hotel.
All credentials are to be turned
over to the committeeman from the
respective district.
On motion the convention adjourned
until 2 o'clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The convention convened according
to adjournment a, 2 o'clock. but as
the committee on credentials was not
ready to report numerous calls were
made for speakers to fill in the inter-
val.
Col. Martin Clsrdy was loudly
called for, but did not respond.
"Wallace, Wallace" yelled number
Of delegates, and above the confusion
arose the voice of a delegate who asked
that Col. Jones address the CONVEX
ton. His motion was met by numer.
GUS yells of "No," bat the motion
finally prevailed and the chairman
introduced Mr.. Jones to address the
convention.
Col. Jones as prelude to his re-
marks, thoroughly denounced the re.
publican party Of Missouri which he
termed worm-eaten mossback insti-
tuition. He expressed himself as
hopeful that the convention would
take no backward step as to the re.
moniiization of silver. The people he
thought had practically decided as to
a leader, and while there had prob
ably been more magnetic men, there
had been but few who stood closer to
the people than Grover Cleveland.
Loud calls were made for Hon. w.
II. Wallace, of Kansas City, who ad.
dressed the convention. Mr.. Wallace
made stirring democratic speech and
was applauded throughout. ITO hell
with strategy" he said, sin fighting
the battles of democracy" He hoped
to see the day when democracy's BAN

The Jones Maffitt sit
uatiOn-A RevOlu-
tiOn Ahead.

The state executive committee met
at Slcbers this morning. The tempe
rary organization decided upon is as
follows:
Ex-chief Justice Eli al H. Norton
of Platte county, chairman.
II. L. Gray, Boone, secretary.
Judge w. A. w. Wood, Caldwell,
sergeant at arms.
Mont Carnes, Pettis, doorkeeper.
This organization will in all prOba-
bility be made permanent.
There is a sentiment which prevails
among nearly all of the delegates
outside of st. Louis, that St.
Louis have one delegate at large
to the national convention
and the state the other three. To this
end a resolution will doubtless be Of
fered to the end, that, whereas there
is split in the city of St. Louis which
should rot be permitted to disharmonize
the democracy of the state; and that
whereas, there are two candidates
from that city. both Of whom have a
following, and it being conceded that
St. Louis should be allowed by the
convention one delegate and no more,
Be it resolved, that the st. Louis
delegation retire and by ballot decide
upon one or the other Of the two con-
testants from st. Louis for delegate
at large, and that the choice of the
delegation be submitted to this con-
vention for ratification.
Should this resolution 60 through
Col. Maffitt will be the delegate.

MORNING APPEAL
A Clean Minded Woman.

OF all the frauds under the sun a
prudish woman suits the devils idea
of what woman ought to be, better
than anybody else. If Satan were
to marry he would hunt prude for
a wife. Prudes seldom have either
brains or chastity. 1t is certain they
never have both.
Miss Kate Field, both clean
minded and brainy, thus aptly scores
the crowd who turned Miss Ballous
nude picture of Morning" to the
wall in Sacramento. She says:
Miss Ballou has the hearty SYM
pathy of all men and women whose
minds are clean enough to realize
that the noblest work of God de
serves serious contemplation aswellas
admiration when ably portrayed by
artists worthy of the namel

Feed, the fraudulent Messiah, ha.
been sued by a husband whose house
hold he has broken up. 1t turns out
that his extraordinary hold ON woman
comes from the fact that he makes
them believe that six of his most
devoted followers will go with him
to heaven, and one of them will
come back as the Goddess Minerva
and rule over the world. Nice pro-
gram, but hard to carry out. He
has found women foolish enough to
believe in the plan, and they stick to
him like wax.
The silver States and territories
should unite in one headquarters at
the national conventions. They will
be led by prominent and eloquent
leaders, men of national reputation
and if united and backed, as they
will be by the Pacific coast States,
they will be an important and potent
element.-Denyer News.
British gold, it is shown, was used
to buy an American congress to de-
monetize silver Now there are peo-
pie claiming to be intelligent who
pretend to believe that British bank
ers will join the United States in an
effort to remonetize silver. Bosh
The Chicago Times;says there is oil
indistinct impression that when the
Louisiana lottery stops selling tickets
in Chicago the incomes of certain
gentlemen not wholly unconnected
with the police force will suffer a
serious reduction.
Now observe the Farmers Alliance
in Missouri make the Cleveland poll
tlclans IN that state sWeaV anu aance
to the tune of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
Bland knows how difficult it is to
get Congressman to do their duty
by their American constituencies,
when British gold stands in the way.
Neither of the Comstock papers
dare come out fat footed for free
coinage. But the miners will speak
on Saturday evening.
Spring seems to have slid out of
the lap Of Winter and behaving her>
self in respectable manner.

mother had her soul passed into the omin-
Gus bird at the death of her little one.
The pitch OF the terebonthine tree, as /
nave since learned, is prime death medi-
cine. 1t is in the medicine bag. All the
mortuary customs of Indian tribes may be
summed up in the tale of the pine tree.
Inc burial of the dead among the Nav
alos Is peculiar to themselves. A resem-
Diance only TO their mortuary customs is
20 be found among the Round valley Indi-
ans OF California, the kagonlas and Bill
loxis OF Louisiana and the Indians of Vir-
ginia. The Navajo, however, is the more
unique. The house is the grave. The
body is buried just where it dies. AS soon
as death takes place shallow grave is
scooped in the center of the hogan. In
this grave the body is placed by the near
est relatives, who previously smear their
bodies with tar from the pinion tree
IN order to protect themselves YES
devils work. This is no sooner done
than the hogan is levelled to the ground
and the spot abandoned. If the deceased
has no relatives or is not q person of i'm
portance In the tribe, no grave is dug, but
the hogan simply pulled down over the
body. Navajo would sooner freeze than
kindIe a fire with the logs OF
fallen hogan. / have seen these mortu-
airy hogans in the mountains. The sur
vivors smear themselves on the forehead
and under the eyes with tar as a sign of
mourning. When it wears off it is not put
on again, and the name of the dead IS
never mentioned. In case for any reason
the body be removed from the hogan
it is buried in clefts OF rock,
and stones piled over it, and the
hogan and all in it are burned up. Old
people, when all hope is gone. are often
abandoned in the brush and left to die of
starvation alone. The only instance of
burial in tree is stiiIborn child. This
custom among the Nayajos accounts for
the absence of any architectural develop
ment In the construction OF their houses.
They are built to be brought down or
burned
The Eastern Indians. as gensral rule,
buried their dead in the ground, often on
the tops of hills, with stone encircled
mounds raised siightlyover shallow graves,

times carried the dead body OF person
with them on their journeys. The most
cruel mourning is practiced. The squaws
hack themselves to pieces with stone
hints until they are covered with
blood. The braves run sharpened
sticks through their flesh until the scene
is fairly sickening. A single scalp
avenges the death and stops the mourn
ing. While they mourn they never
laugh, wash or comb their hair. They
also have what is known as the
GHOSTS gamble" The Minnatarree In
dians of Dakota cut off their fingers for
the dead till the whole ground is strewn
with them. They are invariably buried in
a green blanket, though they never wear
green when living.
The mortuary custom of the Utes Is
cave burial. Ouray was but lately
dragged off secretly to one such rock cave
and buried. The deathbed scenes, the final
preparations. the journey to the grave, the
place of deposit are all with the Ute
profound secrets. lie will not talk or tell.
1t would be a very dangerous thing for a
white man to be In a Ute camp hen any
one died, for they would lay it to his evil
influence. No white man ever saw Ute
buried. They bury in a rock cave, seal it
up carefully and cunningly with stones
and steal away, even taking care to cover
their tracks ana erase their footprints

dead horizontally in the grave and level It
with the ground, so that you cannot lind
il. They paint the body and put orna-
ments in the grave, and also food to feed
the departed on his journey. A
wake, with lighted candies, fol-
lowed by supper precedes the June
raj. The PuebIos howl over the
body. mourn for one year, have high mass
said for the repose of the soul and are
happv. The Wichita Indians Of the tat
tooed eyelids cry the town at death, ride
the corpse to the grave on pony, build a
palisade of poles around the grave ana
shave off the grass within. The relatives do
not as a rule go to the grave. The Cad
does. or Timber Indians, leave their dead,
If killed in battle. to be devoured by birds
or beasts OF prey. Outside of this In
stance they follow the foregoing custom.
The Parsee towers of silence on NAL
abar hill. filled with dead and crowned
with q circle of living vultures, wait
ing to glut their greed upon the bodies
below, are a type OF this. They nave
in a rude way their followers among the
Indians. though their exceptions are few.
The Trinity and Klamath Indians OF the
Northwest coast bury IN grave with
circular stone coping, on which the BIRDS
sit.
The Dakota Sioux paint corpse red
across the mouth. the hand black. with
the thumb on one side of the mouth. A
Sioux never cries with pain and never
exhibits alarm at death or shows fear
OF any kind. The medicine bag is placed
or the heart. There is little or no prepar-
alton for death. The corpse is bIanketed,
boxed and buried with the head to the
south, whence they believe they origin
ally came. A person who has been muir
dered BY ore of their own tribe is always
buried face down, with fat piece of pork
or bacon in the mouth to prevent
the spirit of the murdered person from
soaring the game from that section. ket-
tie of food is sometimes placed at children's
graves. Girls eat the food out of it at
girls graves ana boys at boys. The scalp
lock is cut oil, hung up in the lodge and
considered keeping the ghost" Form
eriy these Indians buried in tree or on a
platform and burial in the ground
was a disgrace. They even some
