Little Fay had accepted an invitation
To dine with her lttle friend May,
And when dinner was done,
And they vert out to run,
Fay asked in an innocent way:
'What was it your papa was slyi' this noon
When you folded your hands, just 10.
And sat up 50 straight,
And lowed to your plate?
] couldn't quito hear him, you know"
Said May, "Hc Was just saying Thank you to
God
For giving Us food every day"
"Ohl'' sail Fay, with surprise
And with wide orcn eyes.

viding adequate punishment for defalca-
tiops o, public officers.
4 The republican party having al
ways been the friend OF labor and labor
ing men, deplores the frequent strikes
and conflicts between employers and
employed, resulting at times in the de-
struction of life and property and great
injury to those Immediately concerned
and the public generally, and favors the
settlement Of all questions of dispute
arising between labor and capital by le-
gally constituted arbitration by which
all parties interested shall be bound.
5. We believe the transportation cor
poratlons OF this state are the peoples
public servants; W oppose any and all
harsh or unjust legislation concerning
them, but we do demand such legislation
as will clothe the board OF railway COM
m%,ssioners Of this state with full power
and authority to correct evils, right
wrongs, and in general to prevent all un-
Just determinations, and to provide a
req sonable maximum tariff of passenger
and freight rates.
We recommend that each county con
v~ention of this state, for the nomination
Of members for the legislature, take such
action as will require all candidates
upon the Legislative ticket to commit
themselves upon the Question OF legisla-
ton to carry out the meaning and pur-
pose of this resolution.
g." We view with apprehension the
growth OF corporate power in his oun-
try, and especially are we opposed to
trusts and combines which during re-
cent years have steadily multiplied, seek
ing by unjust and illegal means to stitie
competition, and thereby, while lettering
the producer, to extort extravagant
prices from the consumer. We pledge
the party and its nominees for congress
and the senate to use all efforts toward
their destruction.
:. Whereas, complaints are made by
the people concerning the ~mana5ement
Of the grain elevators within the state;
Therefore, we demand that the coming
legislature make a thorough lnvestiga-
ton into the details OF such manage,
ment within this state, and by proper
legislation provide adequate remedies for
the evil that may be found to exist
8. We invite every voter who is a low
or of good government and who desires
the return of prosperous and good times
to join with US in the election Of the re.
publican ticket in county, state and ma,
ton.
In addition to the platform as above
quoted, the convention adopted also the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That since the assembling oil
the last republican convention Of South
Dakota the Supreme Ruler Of the uni
verse has removed from the active scene
OF earth our honored ex-governor. AR
thur G. Mellette; and that Ia his death
his family has been deprived OF a devot
ed husband and father, our state which
he so faithfully served a public benefac
or, the republican party OF u state &
champion OF masterful ability, fidelity
and courage, and the nation one of The
noblest works of God-an honest man.
Resolved, That in boiling the st. Louii
convention Senator Pettigrew has ceaset
to be in touch with the republican par
ty of this state, and that he has forfeit
ed it's political respect and esteem.

WELL TAKE THE STUMP.

Some of Those Who Will Advocate the
Populist Ticket.
ST. LOUIS, July 28.-Among the
speakers who will take the stump for
the Populist ticket will be Senator But
Ter and ex-Chairman Taubeneck, Bu-
gene V. Debs Of Terre Haute, Robert
Schilling of Milwaukee, Senator Allen
of Nebraska, Senator PETER of Kansas,
Gov. LlewelliRg of Kansas, Mrs. Mary
Elizabeth Lease of Kansas, Mrs. Roberts
of Georgia, and many others, including
Coxey and Carl Browne. Mr. Debs is a
strong supporter of the initiative and
referendum. The currency will be the
pivot around which the majority of the
speeches will revolve, and the women
who will be sent out will make that
their special point of attack. Mrs. Rob-
erts made a speech in the convention
seconding the nomination of Bryan, and
in the five minutes she was before the
convention won for herself the reputa-
ton Of being one Of the most forcible
and logical speakers that has ever ad-
dressed Populist gathering.

WILLIAM HENRY SMITH.
Late General Manager of the Associated
Press Dead.

Late General Manager of the Associated
Press Dead.
CHICAGO, July 28.-William Henry
Smith, late general manager Of the As
ISOLATED Press, died at Lake Forest, III.
Mr.. Smith was one Of Americas FORE
most journalists. He was also a student
of historical subjects and was the author
of 1.-The St. Clair Papers, two volumes,
Cincinnati, 1882. He was also the au-
thor of the Biography of Charles Ham
mond,'' wrote several pamphlets and
had contributed frequently to American
periodicals, and while secretary of state
of Ohio, he founded department of
archives, matter which has been
wholly overlooked since the ad-
mission Of the state, and he sue
ceeded in recovering many valua-
BILE papers which are now On file
in the state house at Columbus. By
his Investigations in the British mu-
scum, he brought to light many unpub-
lished letters Of Washington, by Col
onel Henry Bouquet, and has shown
that those which were published by
Jared Sparks were not given correctly.
Mr.. Smith also wrote ''Political His
tory of the United States,'' and life
of the late President Hayes, as the lit
erary executor of the dead president.
Mr.. Smith retired from the manage
ment of the Associated Press in March.
1898, and since that time, until his ILL
ness, had employed his time in literary
work.
The funeral will take place at 5 :l5 D.

Bird Hunters In Ceylon.

A more disagreeable object than a
scorpion Of Ceylon it would be difficult
to imagine. Although, as rule, it does
not measure more than seven inches in
length, there is species found in the
woods that are longer than foot. They
crawl out Of some dried wood, and tax
ing up their position on convenient
rock or stone, looking, as they hold
their great jointed sting curved over
their backs and their claws held aloft,
the very picture Of aggressive warfare.
Here they stretch themselves in the
broiling sun and await their prey.
These are the small, beautiful honey
birds that dart from flower to flower
and take the place Of the humming birds
Of the east.
As one approaches the scorpion seems
to shrink into the stone until it becomes
almost imperceptible. Suddenly the
great insect will raise its claws and
dart at its beautiful victim, which in a
moment is destroyed. Strand Maya

Several United States Consular
Officers Have Been Called on
!! to Resign
As a Result of Recent Hlyestiga-
tons Into the Consular
Service.
Reasons Not Given, But It Is Tn
derstood They Are Mostly
|. Personal.

WASHINGTON. July 28.--The state de-
partment has recently been giving much.
attention to the conduct of the United
States consuls, and in consequence it
has been found necessary to call for
designations in cases Of a few of these
officers. The chief of the consular
bureau, Mr.. Chiffon, has made a close
personal inspection of the consulates in
Mexico, and at present he is engaged in
a similar investigation of the affairs Of
the Canadian oonsulates. In the case of
the Mexican consulates, the effect of his
work was the removal Of several con-
sular officers The Canadian tour has
already resulted in the demand for
the resignation of United States
Consul Thatcher, at Windsor. Ont,
Henry G.. Smith, consul at Santos,
Brazil, has also been invited to give up
his commission, and other changes may
be expected as the result of close in
quiries making i1Bo many of the con-
sulates. A month ago, the United
States vice consul at Paris, Mr.. Shrop-
shire, was displaced, but as he was the
appointee of the consul general, this
was matter that did not directly
concern the state department. In
all of these cases, the department. has
declined to publish the reasons for max
ing changes, contenting itself with the
simple statement that the designations
have been requested for the good of the
service, but it is understood that the
reasons do not go beyond such matters
as inattention to duty, incorrect per-
sonal habits and failure to observe the
spirit Of the consular regulations.
