MISSOURI DEMOCRATS.
They Are Trying Hard to Avoid Serious
Differences.


Differences.
KANSAS CITY, May 15.-The time set
for opening the Democratic state conven-
ton was IL o'clock, but the hot fight
in the state central committee,
which remained in session all
the forenoon, set things back a
bit 1t was proposed to settle in
that committee all the differences which
it was thought would crop out in the
convention. How they succeeded, sub
sequent developments show.
When the convention was finally open
ed Temporary Chairman J. Med. Trim
bic tried to smooth matters over. He
said state conventions did not
decide national issues; the con-
vention had not assembled to
nominate presidential candidate
nor to create a presidential possibility,
which IN a measure was slap at Con-
gresham Bland
When he had concluded the Democrats
yelled themselves hoarse for Bland, but
Chairman Trimble raped them TO order.
The convention then appointed the
various committees and took a recess I'M
til 3 o'clock.

A DOCTORS BLUNDER.
Sends Water for Chemical Analysis in
Dirty jug.

Sends Water for Chemical Analysis in a
Dirty jug.
DIR. L. M. Powell of this city is the
state chemist, and some water was sent
to him by Dr. E. Swarts, ii member of the
state board of health, to be analysed.
The water was taken from the wells of
the Metropolitan Water company, Kan
sas City, Kan. 1t seems that the jug
that it was sent in was not clean, and so
the analysis showed that the water was
not fit for use. DR.. Powell told DR..
Swarts. that it was not a. fair trial, as the
Jug was contaminated.
DR.. l. NJ. Powelrs report said: =.
"No free ammonia present, but fifteen
parts per million of albuminoid ammonia
in sample"
Until the discovery was made that the
Jug wasn't clean one, there was consid-
cradle talk in Kansas City over the con-
dition of their drinking water.
