Illinois Republicans Declare For Him
After . Hard Fight.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, May 2.-William
Mckinley, Jr., Of Ohio, is the choice
Of the Republicans Of Illinois for presi-
dent of the United States. He was SO
declared at the Republican state con-
vention here after a bitter fight. The
contest at the convention was between
the Republicans Of the state who be.
lieved that Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom
should have been honored as the stand.
ard bearer in the presidential contest
by the people of this state on the one
hand and the Republicans who favored
Mckinley on the other. Arrayed on
the side of Senator Cullom was that
organization known as the "Cook
county machine and a large number
of the leading politicians and statesmen
Of Illinois. With him were veteran
politicians who have in years gone by
had many a hard fought political cor.
test. They had to aid them one Of the
Most Perfect Political Organizations
that has ever been formed in this state,
but all their plans went wrong, and,
while Senator Cullom and his hackers
met with defeat, they met it gracefully
and announced their determination to
lend their sincerest and heartiest CO
operation for the election of Major Mo
Kinley to the highest Office within the
gift Of the people Of the United States.
The candidates for state Offices were
all nominated with the exception Of the
trustees for the state university before
resolutions ~instructing the delegates at
large to the national convention were
brought up. This was in accordance
with an agreement reached between
the advocates Of Cullom and Mckinley.
The first shot was fred by Cullom men

toned there was o wild and enthust-
astic cheering from his friends and
followers. But when the amendment
substituting the name of Mckinley for
that Of Senator Cullom was offered the
outburst of applause was simply tire.

r:cto1z For The a1asaaehusetta,

We think that Ike decision of the ex-
ecutiyo ccuioil to present the battleship
Massachusetts with bronze statue of
Victory will be accepted as the most
fitting tribute that could be devised.
The figure, which will be life size, will
be placed upon the forward 10 inch turret
and will make an imposing appearance.
1t is far superior to q silver soup tureen
or something of that sort for the ward
room, because it is gift to the ship.
Poor Jack comes in for it as well as the
habitues Of the quarter deck; besides, it
is source of inspiration which will be
sure to tell CHI the fighting caliber of the
crew. The vessel carrying such token
will never strike her flag. Boston Com.

Independent Order Of
Reehabites
In NORTH AMERICA.
THE OBJECTS AND AIMS.
Information of Interest to Temper
ance Workers and Those Seeking
Refuge From the Tempta-
lions of Strong Drink.
In NORTH AMERICA.

THE more important object of this
4 Association is Mutual Benefit in
the exercises of Temperance. Forti-
tude and Justice, securing to its
membership sympathy and relief in
times of sickness and distress; and in
the event of death, the decent OBJ
servance of the necessary funeral
obsequies; and is based upon and
seeks, the extension of the principles
of Total Abstinence from all intoxi-
eating drinks.
The Order has three subordinate
branches, viz:
Primary Tents, composed of white
male persons between the ages of 16
and 55 years of age, who believe in
the existence and omnipotence Of
God and are willing to sign our pledge
of total abstinence, are eligible to
membership.
Persons over age may become hon.
orary members.
Female Tents, composed of white
females u years Of age and upwards,
Junior Branch of Boys from 10 to
JIG years, and Juvenile Tents, for
Children of both sexes between the
ages of 5 and 16 years.
Each branch has a service especially
adapted. 1t has been found that by
working in separate branches OF the
organization, there is more freedom
of action than when all ages and
sexes are thrown together. Each
branch of the Order is represented in
the higher body, and a fostering care
is exercised over all alike. Thus with
the men and women, girls and boys
all united under one head the l. o.
of r. is as an irresistible army NOV
ing on to victory.
The Order has, and will continue
to prove blessing to our country,
not only in proving an asylum for the
reformed drunkard, but by inducing
the sober and religious part of tho
community to unite in securing the
rising generation from the evils of
intemperance, and ultimately hand
down to generations yet unborn, the
benefits of sobrietY.

Ten or more persons are necessary
for the formation of new Tent,
larger number will lesson the costs to
each.

A Fierce Bull Dog.

Monday evening about six o'clock the neighbOTS in the vicinity of the race track were aroused by screams from the premises Of tue CrOgers, who lives near the race track, and hurrying to the place they saw wogirls struggling with a large bull dog, which had one of the girls by the left arm while the sister was trying to beat him off with ont effect. The young lady attacked was on the ground holding che dog by the throat while he was tearing her arm. One of the neighbors struck the beast on the head with hammer which broke his hold on the arm then another blow put him to flight. He was driven into room and shot. It appears the brute belonged to the family and during the afternoon got loose The young lady attackl,d was down town at the time and the brute kept the other sister in the house, the brothers being out on the railroad When the absent sister came home the brute sprang at her throat but missing It caught her arm. Her sister came to the rescue but without avail, crying for help which brought the neighbors to the rescue. It is said their shrieks were heard for a quarter of mile. The young lady's arm is badly bitten the brute having sunk his teeth into the bone several places from the wrist to the shoulder. Dr. WhitmOre was called and dressed the wound which is very painful. The young ladies showed courage and good fighting qualities or the result might have been much more serious. -[Tuc- son Star.

a Brand New Social Function.

From the Savannah News.
The wife of a prominent Savannah
lawyer away from the city on a visit
telegraphed her husband the other day
that she would not return home until
November 5, as she had an engagement
to attend an election returns party at
the residence of General Blank. Thus
we have the information of brand new
social function. The scheme, it seems, is
for the host to make arrangements with
the telegraph Office in his town to sup
ply bulletins of the election, and to in
vite number of his friends to gather
in his parlors and hear the returns as
they come in from the different states.
The telegraph operator and his instru.
ments will be the center of interest,
while con the side" there will be music,
promenades and flowers as at other So
eial functions. We are progressive

NEWS AND VIEWS,

The apple crop of New England this
year is more than ordinarily bountiful
1t is thought that hundreds of barrels of
apples will be permitted to rot in the
orchards, because it viii not pay to har-
vest and ship them, if other arrangements
to dispose of them are not made. Evan
geli't M pdv IN Boston the other dav
sug es55d that movement be started to
distribute the surplus apples among the
poor families of that and other cities.
The suggestion has been faYolably re-
ceived. The railroads have offered
to transport the apples for free distribu-
ton without cost, and certain charita-
Die societies have taken steps to procure
the gathering and shipment OF the
fruit.
In the Colorado desert they have rain
storms during which not single drop

can be seen falling from the clouds high

falling half the distance to the ground,
1t is singular sight to witness a heavy
down-pour of rain not drop of which
touches the ground. These strange rain
storms occur in regions where the shade
temperature often ranges as high as 128
degrees.
