Spite Of HIS Alleged
Protests.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio. Aug. 21.-The
democratic state convention assembled
today under peculiar circumstances, con-
tests being on between rival delegations
for seats; between fighting factions for
platform planks and between other ele-
ments for almost everything except
places on the ticket. The silver men
realized yesterday that they were in the
minority, but when the committee on
credentials, during the night reduced
their number materially by seating the
"Brice Boilers" from Cleveland, the sill
yer men resolved to make trouble on the
report of credentials, resolutions and
everything else. This morning ex.Gov.
Campbell gave out the statement that
he would decline the nomination for
governor rendered him. Ex.G Governor
Mcmahon. Congressman Sorg, Col.
Kilbourn and others mentioned for
standard bearers, also said they would
not accept. Campbell presented the
name of Judge Hiram ID. Peck for gov
ernor, He was interrupted by DR.. Jas.
A. Morton, who moved to suspend the
rules and nominate James G. Campbell
by reclamation. Ia spite OF the ener,
getic protests of Campbell, the motion
was carried with a whirl- wind enthus-
iasm. Campbell accepted reluctantly.
| John B. Peasley, of Cincinnati, was nomi-
mated for Lieut.. Governor; William II.

Leaning Out to Sec signals
From the Rear.
Was One of the Pioneers nf Great
Falls-Leaves a Wife and
Three Children.

f. W. Dahlgren, who had been a resi-
dent of Great Falls for the last eleven
years, and who had been employed in
the capacity of fireman on the Great
Northern for several years, was killed,
probably instantly, about lao a. m.
Tuesday rs the train on the Neihart
branch, en- route to Great Falla, passed
the first bridge north of Riceville.
The engineer, G. Fl. Wilson, Fireman
Dahlgren, and two young ladies, by per
mission of the master mechanic, were
occupants of the cab. The engineer re-
ceived a signal from the fireman just be-
fore the bridge vas reached, ard at that
time Dahlgren was standing on the
gangway of the engine, the space be-
tween the cab and the tender, leaning
out to catch the conductors sig
mails. The end of this gang
way is at least four feet from the
sides of the bridge. AS soon AS the
bridge was passed the engineer noticed
that Dah]gren was not in the cab, but
thought he had probably gone ahead to
the pilot OF back to get "a cup Of coffee
He said nothing until Arlington wac
reached. when the trainmen declared
that they had not seen Dahlgren since
leaving the bridge.
The engine and baggage Car were run
back to the bridge, and there i)ahlgren'e
lifelesa body was found. 1t lay on grid
ers about two feet below the rails, with
the head in the direction in which the
train had been going, and about 20 feet
in from the end of the bridge. a bruce
extended from the end of the nose to the
hair, where a long cash began. The
skull was fractured, so severely as to
cause death, and blood had been flowing
freely from the ears. The body was
placed on the train and brought to Great
| Falls yesterday afternoon, and was taken
to Cooks Undertaking rooms, where

THE RUSSIAN THISTLE.
Cart Loads Of Them Are Destroyed How
the Pest Got Here.

Tuesday Paris Gibson started out
to investigate the extent to which the
Russian thistle had gained q foothold in
the city, Driving over the south side
he found patches of ground below the
wool warehouse wholly covered with the
noXious weed. 1t Was very evident that
here was the starting place Of the pest,
and it is in that vicinity that the goods
and effects Of a good many Dakota cml-
grants have been unloaded. From this
point t. the river in the direction of the
Bnclter the Wiads have carried the seeds
and they are now growing in greater or
less quantities in IA belt eight or ten
blocks wide running iH thiH direction.
Outside Of this belt no weeds WcI" found.
The present crop is undoubtedly pro-
duced from a small number of weeds
that were allowed to ripen last year. In
this connection an amusing story is told
on w. y. Benson who has quite u taste
for horticulture, and Wno it is alleged
has been carefully cultiVating a epeci-
men Of the weed, not knowing ih'
peetilent character, but thinking he
had discovered a now variety OF
ornamental shrub. After learning
Just tho character and extent Of the
invasion made by the thistle Mr.. Glib
son get several men at work grubbing
up the weeds on the south side aud
burning them. Amy person knowing OF
their existence should not only see thai
they are pulled up by the roots but that
they are burned. ae otherwise the seeds
may ripen and the winds scatter the
weeds on their tumbling trips, scattering
| the seeds over a wide extent Of country
| Where they get any foothold in tht
country organized effort should be made
to exterminate them.

Drains Versus Cattle.

Editor Morning News: Many citizens
Of Chatham county heartily indorse the
the recommendation of the superior court
grand jury for the December term "a
(Which in itself was but a reiteration of
that made by previous juries), which urges
the adoption of those provisions of the
law which viii necessitate the keeping CT
animals in enclosures and consequently
give protection to the drains and bitches
which are being intelligently located and
well constructed in different sections of
the county.
The great damage wrought to these
drains and bitches by the cattle roaming at
large has been frequently brought to pub
lie attention. In some instances we have
had recitation of the character and extent
Of this damage, defeating the purposes
for which the drains were constructed, as
also a citation of the cost in dollars i'm
posed by the necessity OF restoration.
But so far despite all effort to prevent
It, the evil continues, and we now learn
that another check has been put upon
progress upon the important work of
drainage by a requisition upon the con-
Wet force for gang to clean out the
smaller drains and bitches adjacent to
the city. only to be again subjected to
animal depredations. How long are the
patient people of Chatham county and
the business comprehension Of the citi-
zens Of Savannah going to submit TO the
continuance Of the existing conditions? Is
there no process Of protection2 Is there
no redress? The remedy rests with the
people themselves and A. IS only necessary
that the move in the manner provided by
law TO apply It.
Let some intelligent and energetic citi-
gems take the matter in hand 10 the end
that the question be submitted TO a vote
Of the people this coming summer.
In the meantime we beg respectfully 10
commend this subject 70 the earnest con-
sheraton Of the existing grand jury OF
The superior court. Naquero.
