MISSOURI STATE DEMOCRATS.
Their Convention at Per:Is Springs Over
Mhelnincly Erce silver.

PERTLE SPRINGS, Aug. 6-The state
Democratic financial, otherwise called
the silver, convention was called to order
at noon today. Some 450 delegates arc
in attendance. That the convention will
declare for the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver at a ratio Of IS to l admits OF
no doubt. The only question of uncer-
tainly is-will the convention depose the
state central committee?
Congressman = and has been working
hard to accomplish such purpose, and
Senator Cockrell, Governor Stone, Con.
gresham DE Almond, and dozen other
prominent Democrats have been helping
him. From indications compromise
will DO effected by allowing the conven.
tion to name new members of the com.
mittee; that is one for each congress
sional district and three at large.
The silver men are SO overwhelmingly
in the majority that opposition to any
programme they agree to would be
the height of folly. The old Con
federate element is talking har.
mony. 1t seems about certainty that
the state central committee will come out
of the fight badly singed, and that it will
have a great fight to have an existence
when the convention adjourns.

We do not get cent for cashing these

spattercd from one room to another.
Science aided the detectives where other
agencies had failed, and uncovered moro
startling evidence against Holmes and
Pat Quinlan that had yet been found in
the Castle" The detectives and medical
expert found in the Castle" trail OF
blood leading from the doorway of the
dining room of Mrs. Julia l. Conner to
the sink in the same room; from there
into the dark chamber where she and
Pearl formerly slept, and then to the in
side door opening into the bath room,
where the secret trap door was; on the
Dashboard OF that room above the trap
door, and down the secret staircase which
led to the false elevator shaft and thence
into the basement. The blood was human.
A cloth of blood mixed with human hair
was also found.

where the mother and child slept were
found some child's underwear stained
with blood; n pair of brown diagonal
trousers, stained at the bottom with
blood; the pocket of woman's dress,
blood.soaked; a handkerchief which had
becn used to wipe up the blood with, and
various cloths and parts Of undcrcloth.

the truth; both trunks belonged to Min.

- There are magnzinee- bearing date as

Minnie Williams was alive at that time.
The fact that one OF her trunks was
bought in Denver Is explained by the in.
formation that after she entered the en-

business in Denver. Chief Badenoch also

dence, positive proof that Benjamin +.

PRACTiCED ON CORPSEs.
Invention of a Humane Physician as n
Substitute for q Policeman's Club.


From the Hartford Globe.
DIR. Abiel w. Nelson, a practfcing
surgeon of New London, has invented
a humane police club, which The claims
may be used in subduing obstreperous
citizens. without INJECTING permanent
injuries on them. 1t consists of a rub
Der envelope over a wooden core-a
club with a soft rind, Stimulating the
bark OF "a tree. similar to the flesh on
the bones OF q fist. 1t il simply an
elongated arm and gives the police
man the advantage over the other man
without the necessity OF disfiguring
him for life or causing other perma-
nent injury. After securing the proper
patents and before the club was used
the doctor feared fracture Of the skull
at the base might result from blow
on the top of the head-that is. the
fracture might be transmitted to the
base of the skull instead of at the place
of contact. DR.. Nelson could not get
any dead bodies On the vicinity to ex-
pertinent on. so he got permission to
use subjects at the morgue in New
York.
He tried skulls by ahtting them on
the forehead and top OF the head, strdk-
ing with more than ordinary police
mans force. but did not lacerate the
scalp. and there was no fracture ait
the place of contact or base Of the
skull. The heads were opened, and
there was no apparent injury OF the
brain itself. The tests were made in
the presence of three reputable physi-
clans. DR.. Nelson wanted TO see the
actual effect on the living brain. so NE
selected calves as his subjects. His
first subject was an active, fierce calf.
weighing 200 pounds. IL was knocked
down and out. but got UP in a few
SEGA nds. somewhat dazed, but soon re-
covered muscular power and was then
killed. There were bloodstains under
the skin of the scalp and limited
bloodstafns in the inner membrane
over the front lobes Of me brain. There
was no injury to the brain itself.
Everything indicated that the calf
would have fully recovered.
