| SEDALIA, Mo, July 30.-The Popu-
list state convention met this afternoon.
! The roll cali developed two contesting
| delegations from the Twelfth district.
| After a sharp and bitter wrangle both
| delegations We're permitted to partic-
| pate in the temporary organization, and
| the contest was sent to the committee
! on credentials for settlement. The con-
vention took a recess until o'clock.
When the convention reassembled per-
| manent organization was effected.
The committee on resolutions came in
with a long address and declaration of
principals which were read to the con-
Vention but not acted upon. An ad-
| journment was taken until o'clock to-
morrow morning before a vote could be
| taken
The address presented by the commit
! tee on resolutions deals with the fusion
question and demands that the Populist
electoral vote in Missouri shall be cast
for Bryan and Watson. This question
will probably bring on a lively fight in
the conventio ntomorrow. The platform
as presented declares for a United
States note or greenback based on the
| credit of the nation, full legal tender
| for all debts and redeemable only in
| debts and revenues due the govern
ment" to be issued to an amount which
will increase the per capita ciculation
| to $50.
| A radical feature of the platform ia
vors the calling of a national convention
| to revise the federal constitution. In
addition the platform demands a leg
| islative system of initiative and refer
endum; the enactment of alaw providing
| that all evidences of debt shall be pre-
| scented to the assessor and be assessed
and have his stamp on them to be col
| lectabe by law; that no aliens shall
| own lands in this state and that no rail-
| roads or other corporations shall hold
any land not necessary to the exercise
| of it's duties as a common carrier.

A TALE OF MODERN LIFE
Deserted Husband and Chil1-Ths Mother q
tariot

Deserted Husband and Chilt-The Mother q
hariot
A sad story was related a t police head
quarters yesterday when thin, care
worn man leading pretty little girl of
about five years applied for advice or as
sistance in regard to his wife. He is
a lather by occupation, and came from
San Francisco, living happily for time.
Then his wife became acquainted with a
dissolute woman named Ella Rorick
who conducts a house of i'll fame at 419
Commercial street. Finally his wife de-
serted him and her child, and he found
her in the bawdy house. He pleaded
with her to return for the sake of her
child ana finally, under threats of ar
rest she came back to him. This was
last February.
Since that time they have lived to-
gether until about ten days ago, when
the woman once more skipped out ana is
once more an inmate Of the Commercial
street place. He found her and offered
her again the shelter of his house, which
she refused. a few nights ago the joint
was raided by the police during the pro-
gress of a free fight there. and the
woman, along with the other female oc-
cupants, was arrested.
The husband feels keenly the disgrace
his Wanton wife has placed upon him
and sought police assistance to compel
her to abandon the life she is leading
