MISSOURIS GOVERNOR
And will in the End Throw His In
flueuce for Him for President-sil-
yer Men Have Evrything Their
Own Way Thus Far.

Chicago July 1.-(Special. )-Governor
Altgelds friends profess to believe that
in the end Altgeld will favor the nomina-
tion for president of Governor William j.
Stone, Of Missouri. 1t matters not that
Governor Stone, is here working for
"Silver Dollar" Bland end that his state
is instructed for Bland. Governor Alt
geld's friends have it from the inside, the
say, that their chief has laid plans to
bring about the nomination of Governor
Stone.
There is little or no gossip concerning
the candidates upon whom the eastern
gold Democrats will concentrate their
strength, but from all that is known the
opinion is that unless something unfore-
seen changes the program, Ex-Governor
Pattison, of Pennsylvania, will be put
forward as candidate Of the eastern gold
democrats.
Although the national Democratic con-
vention will meet here week from to-
day, so far none Of the leading advocates
of the gold standard have put in an ap-
pearance and the silver people have had
undisputed possession of the field. To-
morrow, however, the former will begin
to be insevidence, and from then on the
battle between the silver majority and
the earnest, aggressive and unconquerable
gold minority, will wage increasingly until
the convention ends the struggle.
Senator Isham G. Harris, of Tennessee,
the chairman of the Democratic bimetallic
national committee, seems to be the pres
ent choice of the silver men for perma-
nent chairman. This is part of the pro-
gram of the silver men, which includes
the removal of the Democratic national
headquarters to Chicago, and the election
of Senator Jones, of Arkansas, as the
chairman of the national committee to
succeed William F. Harrity.
The national committee will meet
Monday to select the temporary officers
of the convention. Among the names
suggested for the temporary Craftsmanship
are those Of Senator Hill, of New York !;
Senator Villas, of Wisconsin; Senator Gray
of Delaware, and Hugh G. Wallace, Of
Washington.

The Oueerest OF Human Ailments.

If you will carefully read the statis-
tics of the late war between the states
you will find that according to the state
ments which have from time to time
emanated from the adjutant generals g
office 1919, 720 Union troops died Of dis
ease during the years 1861-5. OF the
199,270 who succumbed to various NAL
aides during those terrible years 81, 1877
died of disease that was not classi-
fed simply because of its varying symp-
toms.
The majority of readers have never
heard OF this malady, but that it exist
ed among the troops ON both sides dur
ing the civil war-and in all other wars,
for that matter-will not be denied by
any observer who took the trouble to
look little beyond the havoc caused by
shot and shell and the long catalogue Of
we'll known and we'll marked diseases
incident to warfare. We refer to the
malady known as nostalgia, which is
the medical term for "homesickness. T"
When this queer disease seizes it's vic
tim with strong grip, he is almost as
sure to die as though his malady were
cholera. Persons who die from nostal-
gia apparently die without cause for so
doing, but they die just as dead as
though their ailment had been charac-
terized by the eruptions Of smallpox OF
the black vomit of yellow fever
Nostalgia is not strictly an American
disease, but has been known in all coun-
tries ever since men first became able to
distinguish between physical ailments
and cases of literal pining and fretting
ones life away. Bismarck once said
that for every 100 deaths in the army 7
were due to nostalgia or inconsistencies.

He Does Not Consider tho Gold Causa a,
Lost,
CHICAGO, June 30.-Controller Eckels
has reached tho city and took up quart.
ers at the Palmer House. being the first
prominent opponent of the silver idea
who will attempt to influence the ap
preaching Democratic convention, to
reach the city. Mr.. Eckels says that he
does not consider the gold cause as lost
by any means, for the reason that he
cannot believe that the delegates will
refuse to listen to reason.
He thinks the southern delegates do
not yet fully realize the magnitude of
the position they are about to assume,
or how it will affect the business of the
country if they persist in declaration
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. This, he is Of opinion, can and
will be made so clear to them by the
business men of the country that they
will hesitate and sufficient number Of
them change their minds to alter the
result The gold men will, he thinks,

Strong Point For Cotell.

AKRON, o., June 30.-In tho cross
examination of Harry N. Hickey, a
newspaper reporter, and DIR. w. W.
Leonard. an insanity expert, in the
Cotell murder trial evidence was ad-
duced. which will make strong the plea
of insanity for the boy murderer. The
statements of the two witnesses were
very similar, that Cotell told them after
his arrest that he did not know that he
bad committed the crimes until ten
days after the murder. When asked
how he knew it then, he said: DE

ton, Pa.
WlLKEsBARRE, Pa, July 1.-The situ-
alton at the Twin shaft has undergone
no change. The rescuers continue to
work under great difficulties. The
squeeze is now general, and at the foot
of the shaft the loud rumbling noise of
falling rock in distant parts of the mine
can be heard.
Double timbering is now being re-
sorted to. 1t is very slow and tedious
work, and even under the most favora-
BILE conditions the workers could not
hope to clear gangway to where the
imprisoned men are in less than a
month.
The cavein at Evansville some two
years ago offers precedent for the off.
cials of the Twin shaft. AS long as
there is possibility of any of the men
being alive they feel 1t their duty to
continue the work OF attempted rescue.
In the Evansville cavein six men were
imprisoned in a breast of the mine for
10 days. On the 10Th day they were
reached Five men were dead and one
man was alive. The living man was
"Big Joe," q Polander. He is now en-
ployed as carpenter at Hazleton. He
has been interviewed on the probable
fate of the men in the Pittston mine,
and says if they are alive and the air is
pure where they are they will be able to
live for ten days at least. 1t is taken
for granted there is water where they
are, and all of the men carried good
supply of food, which could be used

WHAT WILL ALTeeLo Dor
Surprise Over the Action OF the Illinois
Delegation.

CHICAGO, July 1.-The fact that the
Illinois delegation postponed its de-

support in the convention has created
almost as much comment as the de
cision which the delegation reached
looking to the abrogation of the two.
thirds rule. The only explanation made
Is that it was considered desirable to
look the field over more completely
than has yet been possible before taking
position,
1t is intimated. however, that Gov
ernor Alleged, who is in complete con
troll of the delegation, has plans of his
own which are not yet sufficiently
matured TO be sprung. Those who have
talked with him say that he is espe.
cially concerned to secure a candidate
on the national ticket who will add
strength to the Democracy in Illinois.
