lican convention of this (The FOURTH con-

day. will probably result in a long dead
lock. Each of the five candidates has his
home delegation instructed for him, and
Greenwood county is the only fighting
ground in sight. None OF the delegates
will admit having second choice, and it
has so far been impossible to effect COM
bination against Charles Curtis of Topeka,
who has forIy-'hree votes pledged tor the
first ballot, lacking only eighteen of
enough. to nominate him. J. w. Moore
of Marion county has strong and loyal
following. His delegates number twenty
two. Lou Finch also has II loyal delega-
tion, although there is some talk of their
breaking away. Candidate Buck of EN-
poria, who WAS supposed to be in the race
Tor the iun OF the thing seems now to be
dead in earnest. Milton has a following
of eighteen.
Marsh Nurdock is the only guberna-
toTlal candidate present. bat Farmer

DESPAIR AND SUICIDE.

ST. LOUIS, May 10-A corpse in the
morgue and wife to identify revealed a
pathetic story today. Mr.. and Mrs John
Williams were married at Warrensburg,
NO, two years ago. Coming here. the
husband secured work, but recently he
was discharged. Finding it impossible to
secure work again, their little money
was soon exhausted and they resolved to
die together They went to the river, but
chose different routes. After murmuring
prayer the wife jumped in, but, she
was sinking Tor the second time, she was
rescued by 5oatmau. She was sent to a
hospital When discharged she sought
her husband, and, being unable to find
him again, attempted to drown herself,
but failed, as she WAS rescued for the
second time.
Thinking after all that her husband had
been drowned, she went to the morgue and
there found his body. There she told her
story to a reporter and then disappeared.
AS the police cannot find her, it is believed
that she sought the river for the third
time in the effort to join her husband.

that is, majority of the Peoples party,
with the exception of DR.. McLallin and a
few others who have gubernatorial ex-
pectations. If nominated. Ives will be
elected beyond the peradventure of a
doubt. Elder and Vincent are the only
candidates who will have any show in the
nominating convention"
Congressman John q. Otis of this dis
trict will, in tomorrow's Advocate, an
nouDce himself as candidate for re-elec-
tion. He has written letter of half a
column To the Advocate, in which be de-
nounces the circulation of the report that
he would not stand for denomination as
maliciously false, and compares it 10 the
thrusting OF knife into mans back
when he is engaged in performing his
legitimate duties. He says that be is not
a candidate for denomination in the sense
OF packing the convention and engaging in
other political trickery, but that he will
seek spontaneous Endorsement at the
hands of the convention.

its pastor, j. G. Jacob, is entirely re-
sponsible. A year ago he began to agi-
tate the building Of the structure, but

erty as it stands is worth nearly s, 900.

have resented too close an inspection of
the dead body, but the informant hap

coffin was taken in. 1t was by this time
growing dark, and the person who was

his investigations. He rode boldly up to

occupants of the house were too busy to
notice his arrival. He then walked to
the house and looked through the win

crowd of mourners busily engaged in
taking out small tin boxes of opium from
the cadaver and piling them on the
table. The observer, feeling that he al

the corral, saddled his broncho and de-
parted.

however, that the procession was com
