While in Occur d'Alene Monday eve
ming the scribe learned of an attrac-
tive and thoroughly enjoyable little
set-tO which occurred in front of one
the leading saloons of that city on the
evening before, between two or three
prominent citizens and several SOL
diers. From the evidence we saw and
what could be learned from lockers
on it seems that what was lacking in
science was fully made up in "get-up-
and-get- THAR" and that the soldiers
got decidedly the worst of the deal.
There has been i'll feelings between
these parties for some time and last
Sunday the matter was brought to a
climax by one Of these citizens speak
ing too plainly in regard to the SOL
diers. 1t seems the soldiers were in
the habit of monOpolizing the social
hops given in the city, greatly to the
displeasure of the young men citizens.
Recently some of the citizens organ
lied themselves into a social order
styled the :Owlets," and soldiers
were not admitted to their hops. This
embittered the already strained feel
ings between these factions, and
when member Of the new club an
nounced publicly that "Soldiers and
all but the best dogs are barred" from
the hops given by the Owlets, matters
came to crisis and the above set-to
resulted.

The dramatic entertainment given

is obvious that THE SILVER BLADE

double its present size. This improve

the next two months, and will peces-
state the purchase Of a larger press

know themselves to be indebted to US

SOMEBODY WAS MISTAKEN.
For the Michigan Democracy Comes Ont
in favor of "sound Money"

For the Michigan Democracy Comes Ont
in Favor at "s"ond Money"
DETROIT, April 80 Sound money" had
won complete victory when the Michi-
gan Democratic state convention ad-
journed shortly after o. clock last night.
On the questions which were most closely
contested this victory was accomplished
by the narrow margin of 5s majority out
of n total of some 800 votes. The admin
istration men obtained the organization.
adopted their resolutions entire and elect
cd all their candidates for delegates at
large and alternates. The free silver con-
tingent took its defeat hard, but there Is
no anticipation of any bolt to speak of, al
though such talk was INDUCED in by q
few OF the radicals. They assert that had
the delegates all acted Independently, ac-
cording to their convictions, without so
much assistance from federal office
holders" and also without the use Of the
unit rule in many counties, the conven-
ton would certainly have gone on record
for free silver
The administration men are jubilant
over the results, which were reached with
out being attended by bolt Of their OPP
ponents There was considerable disorder
at times and much hot personal debate
but nothing approaching an actual row.
Not only did the sound money men get
the delegates at-large, but they also got
the district delegates in seven districts
and one of them in an eighth, giving them
fifteen of the twenty-four.
The delegates-at large are: Elliott q.
Stevenson, Thomas A. f. Weadock, r. r.
Blacker and Peter White. The finance
plank of the platform is as follows: ION
the finance question we recognize that
this administration stands upon and has
consistently carried out the national
Democratic platform of 1Sg2,
which decided that the parity of the
metals in our currency shall be main
tanned. The platform Of the national
convention should be the doctrine Of
Democrats until q new platform is formed

Cripple Creek Has Another Fire Accompa-
ined with Loss Of Life.
CRIPPLE CREEK, April 30-This place
has again been the sport Of the flames
and at this writing the fire has burned
itself out and there is not a building left
standing in the business section of the
city; only a few residences on the out
skirts remain, and thousands are home
less. But this latest blaze has the addi-
tional horror Of loss of life, one person
being known to have persisted while
nearly a score have been wounded, some
perhaps fatally.
Buildings in advance of the fire were
blown up in a futile attempt to check its
speed. All about the burning blocks the
streets were damned. Charges of fifty
pounds and more Of powder were put in.
One explosion threw debris high into the
air and its falling felled men right and
left. When the smoke cleared away the
streets were covered with men unable to
rise Others rushed to their assistance.
Before the unfortunates could be dragged
back a second charge went off and half a
dozen other men were added to the list.
The crowd surged forward and all were
taken away as the flames began TO con-
sumo the building.
George Griffith's head was blown nearly
off and he died in half an hour. The
others, while seriously hurt, may all re-

CULLOM FORCES SURRENDER,
Move to Make IL Unanimous for Mckinley
Woman on the Ticket.

Move to Make 1t Unanimous for Mckinley
Woman on the Ticket
1t was so plainly Mckinley that a mo-
tion came from the Cullom side-said to
have been prompted by Cullom himself
that the resolution indorsing Mckinley be
adopted by reclamation. Upon hearing
this motion from the Cullom forces the
Mckinley followers broke out again
Martin b. Madden, in behalf Of the dele
gates from Cook county, seconded the mo-
ton, which was put and carried with the
widest scene of enthusiasm.
When the uproar following the adop-
ton of the Mckinley resolutions had
ceased the committee OH delegates-at-
large reported the names of r w. Patter-
son, editor of the Chicago Tribune; Will
lam Penn Nixon, editor of The Inter
Ocean; Joseph w. Fifer, of Bloomington,
and ID. L. Littler, of Springfield. Samuel
Raymond, Of Chicago, offered minority
report substituting the names of ex-Gov-
ernor Richard j. Oglesby for that of ID. Il.
Littler, and that of Mayor Swift In place
OF William Penn Nixon. The convention
agreed to drop Littler, but retained The
Inter Ocean man. So that Ex-Governor
Oglesby is one of the delegates -at-large.
Alternates are as follows: G.. M. Pep
per and j. w. Ellsworth, of Chicago;
Pleasant p. Chapman, johnson county,
and the Rev. Jordan Chavis (colored),
Quincy The presidential electors-at-
large are: Rabbi f. G. Hirsch, of Chi
cago, and Hon. Horace ID. Clark, of Mat
toon.
The following are the state university
trustees nominated: Mrs Mary Turner
Carried, Jacksonville; f. NJ Mckay, Chi
cago; T. J. Smith, Champaign.
The platform is a standard Republican
declaration. 1t approves the Monroe doc
trine, expresses sympathy for the Cuban
rebels, denounces the Democratic admin.

per the plank printed yesterday, demands
tariff protection, favors the amendment of
the state constitution so that three amend
ments may be voted on at one election,
arraigns Governor Altgeld, and favors
state constitutional amendment to permit
the enactment of laws to regulate the re-
iations of capital and labor.
At the conclusion of the state conven-
ton delegates from the three supreme
court divisions of the state met In three
separate conventions and nominated
clerks for the supreme court and appellate
court. The nominations were az follows:

SHAH OF PERSIA ASSASSINATED
Caught by His Slayer He Was Entering
Shrine and Shot.

LONDON, May "A dispatch from Te-
heran, Persia announcing that the shah
had been assassinated has been confirmed.
1t appears that he was just entering the
shrine of Shah Abdul Aim when Say
yid from Norman sprang forward and
shot him, instantly killing him. The as
sassin was arrested. Master Ed Din, the
shah of Persia, was born April "a, 1929,
and succeeded to the throne on Sept. 10,
lS4S. on the death of his father.
1t is known that the shah was arrang-
ing for great celebration of his acces-
sion on Mayo At the Persian legation
in this city the opinion is expressed that
the murder was the deed of IA fanatic, and
was not the outcome of an especially de-
signed movement. But according to a
dispatch which has been received here

sassin was n member of the Babi secret
society; a criminal association which has

that is the way the Endorsement was made
by very enthusiastic reclamation, too.
At Wednesdays session John X. Tan
ner received the nomination for governor
on the first ballot and w. A. Northcott
was nominated for lieutenant governor.
The first thing when the convention re-
sumed its session yesterday was the filing
of the ticket down to and including at

Then came wight was to be the tug of war,
but what was in fact too easy" for one Of
the conference.-the question Of instruc-
tions. Fuller offered the following reso-
luton; ''That the delegates elected by
this convention 70 the national conven-
ton at St Louis be instructed to present
and support the Hon. Shelby NJ. Cullom
for president" This raised the roof, in
the matter Of applause, which was up
roarious for five minutes.
The Great Issue Made Up.
Fuller spoke to his resolution, with
great eloquence telling why Illinois
should stand by Shelby NJ Cullom. Sol
Bethea, of Lee county, then moved that
the name of William Mckinley be sub
stituted for that of Cullom. Then the
McKinleyites got in their lung work and
made it wild and uproarious for four min
utes actual time. w. j. Calhoun spoke
in favor OF this and painted Mckinley in
glowing colors. civilian Mckinley" he
concluded, 'is the leading man of the
hour" The uproarious cheering was re-
newed as he ceased to speak. Delegates
and visitors in the galleries got upon the
chairs, threw their hats in the air and
yelled like madmen
Madden of Chicago offered an amend
ment in the following words: And in
case the Hon. William Mckinley fails to
be nominated the delegates-at large from
Illinois to the national convention be in
structed to express their confidence in the
ability of Thomas b. Reed, of Maine or
w. b. Allison, of Iowa, and that either
would be acceptable as the standard
bearer Of the party" This raised. prin-
cipally, objections. Some more speeches
were made and debate closed. A motion
to lay the resolution on the table was lost
and the temper Of the convention was in
dictated in the vote

CLEVELAND, May Aside from the
episcopal address, which was read by
Bishop Warren, OF Denver, there was
nothing Of especial interest in the second

bone of contention. continued to occupy
their seats and vote the same as male
delegates. A committee has considered
their case and the fight of the conference
will be precipitated by its report The
committee on eligibility" as it is called,
devoted the entire afternoon to consider
ing this matter and the women were OPP
posed very warmly.
One argument against permitting the
women to keep the seats they occupy was
that IL would be in violation of the con-
stitution; doubly SO because at the last
general conference an amendment had
been proposed to the constitution, that
amendment having been submitted to the
annual conference in the meantime and
defeated. The committee met again at
night, and it was learned that the vote
was taken and resulted 20 to II in favor
of the women.
