SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, July 23.-The Re-
publican state convention got to work
in earnest when it reconvened today, the
report of the three committees on perIna-
nent organization, credentials and reso-
buttons presented last evening, being
quickly adopted.
The resolutions endorse the ST. Louis
Platform and deplore what it believes is
the tendency of the Democracy toward
anarchy.
Nominating speeches for governor were
then begun, the following candidates be-
ing named for that office: Webster Davis,
r. E. Lewis, Major Brook, AIanzo Tubbs,
b. b. Cahuon and c. p. Waibridge. An
adjournment until 8 o'clock was then
taken

Fort Smith Scandal.

A scandal which has been existing
for the past year at Fort Smith
eliminated Friday night in the shooting
and possibly fatal wounding of Maud
Allen by Mrs. Pagan Bourland.
Bourland, who is young business man
of considerable property, became
infatuated with the Allen girl, who left
her husband. Mrs. Bourland has
several times tried to break up the
liaison, but failed. About year ago
she found her husband at the girl S
boarding house and shot at her with
out effect. Friday night Bourland had
an engagement to go riding with the
Allen woman, who boards across the
street from his store. Mrs. Bourland
learned of the appointment, and, dis
guised as a negress, laid in wait for
them. When the girl came up Mrs.
Bourland struck her several times over
the head with pistol and then fired
three shots at her, only one taking
effect, and that entering her abdomen.
During the scuff1e Bourland started out
to separate the women and the pistol
was accidentally discharged, the ball
grazing his leg.
The scene in the street just after the
shooting was most affecting. Mrs
Bourland, with her arms clasped about
her husband neck, sobbed hyster-
ically:
Pagan, darling, love you. l did
it all for you, love. did not shoot at
you. l love you too well for that .
She surrendered herself to Chief of
Police Surratt, who Immediately
released her on her own recognizance.
Maud Allen s maiden name was
Avery, and her mother lives at Seneca,
Mo. The scandal first became public
when her husband sued Bourland for
$40, 900 for alternating his wife S
affections.

Mr.. Will Hynes received a telegram
Friday morning from his mother saying
the lend has come. - This indicates
the death of Capt. r. S. Hynes who
was at his old home at Cleveland, Ohio
Nothing definite as to the interment of
the remains, but most likely they will
be inferred there by the side of his
mother and father. The PRESS and our
citizens generally extend their
sympathies to the wife and children in
this sad bereavement.
MARRIED-In Van Buren, at the
residence of the bride mother, on the
10th inst, by Rev. G.. N. Wall, Mr..
w. S. Mcdowell, of Coffeyville, Kas. ,
and Miss Midora A. Bourn, of this city.
The bridal party left the same day for
their future home at Coffeyville. THE
PRESS with many friends extends con-
CALCULATIONS and wishes the young
couple bright and happy future.
The congregation of the Christian
Church contemplate holding series
of meetings, to commence next week.
To accommodate the crowds anticipated
and insure the physical comfort of all
who attend these sultry summer nights,
large tent has been secured and will
be erected on the vacant lots near the
church. A pleasant and profitable
season of religious revival is expected
and everybody is cordially invited to
put in an appearance.
Business in and around the Missouri
Pacific depot, offices and yards is
livelier this week by reason of the
opening of the Valley road to Coffey
Vile. The Grand river trestle has been
repaired and all trains have been pass
ing over it since last Saturday. Work
on the rebuilding of the piers for the
steel bridge will be vigorously
prosecuted during the summer months
and when the structure is completed
there will be no interruption of traffic
by high water in the future.
The recent shooting of Maude Allen,
lewd woman, by Mrs. Pagan Bour-
land in Fort Smith has developed the
fact that our neighbors regard the
'unwritten law as applicable to an
injured wife as well as wronged
husband. 1t seems the Allen woman
had alienated the affection of Mrs.
Bourland' S husband and the action OF
the long suffering wife has been SO
heartily endorsed by public opinion as
to insure her immunity from arrest and
Imprisonment to the present day.

One more precious little one is taken

into everything. No one knows the
blank void her absence leaves in that
home. save those who have passed
through tie same experience.
