Entire Texas is represented at the

here to-day. Prominent men of the
State are directing affairs.
After considerable caucusing the
meeting was called to order at high

effected.
Speeches were made by silver ora
tors, and one and all were Of the most
determined type, declaring unquali-
fiedly for silver at 16 to 1. That will
also be the basis Of the platform with
out doubt, but it is yet uncertain how
they will handle the administration,
as some desire to denounce it in un-
measured terms; while others are
working for a mofe conservative ac-
ton.
No convention was ever held in the

than this one has, and a warm time is
expected this evening.

ance.
The convention will probably work
tonight.
After the convention adjourned the
Committee on Permanent Organiza-
ton decided to make the temporary
organization permanent. Then the
wedge which may end by dividing the
party in Missouri, was inserted in
the way of resolution providing for
an increase in the number of State
Committeeman. The resolution adds
one member from each congressional
district and four at large.
The Chairman is hereafter. to be
elected by the regular State nominal
ing convention. -. ...
Ihe resolution was unanimously
adopted in committee. The temper of
the convention will be tried on this
question, when it meets this after
noon. Nothing was done by the
committees on the resolutions during
recess.
The convention convened precisely
at2 o'clock and the temporary organi-
cation made permanent. The resolu.
lions for an increase in the State Cen
trail Committee were then read. OBJ
jections were quickly made from two
or three quarters, and call for a di-
vision de handed. The question. was
finally decided and vote on the pro-
position TO increase the committee
ordered. The vote resulted in an
overwhelming majority in favor of an
increase. The free silver men had an
easy victory. The reports as whole
were then adopted. The Committee
on Resolutions was not ready to re-
port. The convention took a short
| recess.

Picked the Lock.

Last evening about Z o'clock John
Owens, young man about Is years
of age, sent to the county Jail on
Monday for five days by Justice Hen
ley for selling whiskey to Indians,
picked the lock on the door leading
from the bedroom into the jail and
Nick Mccoy, who is waiting for trial
on the charge of attempting to kill
Sheriff Natter, walked out and came
down on the street and shook hands
with his friends.
Sheriff Natter was in the country
and Deputy Sheriff Watkins had come
down town on business just few
minutes before the lock was picked
leaving the prisoners. as is customary,
in the corridor of the Jail. Owens
did not leave the Jail and Mccoy, the
only other prisoner, came down on
the street as above stated, and accom-
panied the Deputy Sheriff back to the
Jail.
No blame should attach to the
Sheriff's Office for the break as the
big Yale lock on the jail door was sup
posed to be burglar proof and no one
expected a break from that quarter
The lock that Owens picked is the
one used during the terms of Sheriffs
Polk and Henderson and was sup
posed to be burglar preof. Now that
it has been proved to be an easy game
for an experienced burglar, the Com
missioners should devise some plan
by which this door can be made Sc.
cure. If this is, not done, serious
break may occur in the future.

The difference between Pills and
Simmons Liver Regulator is just this:
Pills don't go down very easy with
most people, and you feel them after

lator in liquid or powder is very
pleasant to take, and the only feel
ing that you have afterwards is the
great relief that it gives from Con-
stipation, Biliousness, Sick Head
ache and Dyspepsia. 1t is a mild
laxative and tonic. ,
