Brocaded silks are not so much worn

Satin duchesse is fashionable and

DOUGLASS, WYO., August 1.-THE Re-
publican State Convention, after two re-
cesses, was called to order at 2:90 p. NJ,
and the report of the Committee on Reso-
buttons was read and unanimously adopt
ed The resolutions reaffirm in general
terms the national declarations made at
st. Louis in 1896. The financial plank is
as follows:
1.-THE financial policy of the Republican
party having brought prosperity to the
entire country and given US place
among the nations of the earth and en-
abled us to conduct successfully a foreign
war, We unhesitatingly reaftirm the finan-
cial plank Of the platform as expressed
by the national convention at st. Louis
That platform endorses the twin mea-
sures' OF the Republican party, protection
and prosperity; approves the Dingley
tariff law, supports the administration in
it's vigorous prosecution Of the war against
Spain; praises the country's heroes; APP
proves Hawaiian annexation, and favors
construction Of the Nicaraguan canal"
Upon the territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT the
platform says:
I'VE congratulate the country that
President Mckinley is fully able 10 pur-
sue a policy upon the declaration Of peace
with Spain which will at once maintain
the dignity and honor of our nation and
bring prosperity to the islands which will
come under our control or protection"
Following the adoption of the platform,
+. w. Mondell. for Congress, and De-
Forest Richards, for Governor, were nom
mated by reclamation.

THE QUESTION OF THE FILTER.
Important to Determine Whether
Alum Is n Safe COagulant.
PrOVidence JOurnaI.)

iIIONllFllNt JOhAApisl
The necessity of improving the water
supplies of the cities is emphasized In
the annual address Of the president OF
the American Society of Civil Engineers.
His observations of filtration are of ex-
ceptlonal interest. The statement that
further developments and added expe-
rience evidently will be needed" to deter
mine the merits Of mechanical filters IN
which coagulants are used will appeal 70
conservative people. No community
should adopt any system hastily. Sand
beds and mechanical filters should be
investigated with the utmost care. IL
is conceded that clean sand. properly
handled, will remove impurities from
water and will not introduce injurious
elements. The principal objection to
mechanical filtration is that alum Is en-
ployed as coagulant. We are assured
by the filter men that no trace Of alum
can be detected in the water. Expert
testimony substantiating this assertion
has been submitted. But, after all, the
real test is in daily service. Let us have
testimony from cities in which alum has
been used for filtering purposes a year
or longer. What effect, IL any, has IT
had on water consumers? What do ply
sicians say concerning II. Laboratory
tests are valuable, but 1t is well to re-
member that they are not always conclu-
sive II will be a serious mistake not
to make thorough inquiry In cities
having mechanical filtration as 10 whe-
Their or not alum is detrimental 10 health.

CLARKE CAVALRY.
Reunion of the SurviyOrs-The Pro-
posed Monument.

BERRYVILLE, VA, August n.-(Spe-
cial.)-The fifteenth annual reunion Of the
survivors of the Clarke Cavalry was held
yesterday at the residence of Mr.. Thomas
]. Russell, near here. The Indictment wea-
ther prevented many from attending, and
only eighteen of the forty-five survivors
answered TO their names at roll-call. Be
sides the Clarke cavalrymen, there We're
present about forty others. who served
in other commands, and the guests of
the host.
The committee appointed at a previous
meeting for the purpose Of soliciting con-
tributiOns to be used In erecting monu-
ment to the memory Of the dead MEM
bers of this cavalry troop was asked to
make report. This report showed that
$500 had been subscribed, and the pros
pect of getting additional contributions
was good. 1t is proposed to erect this
monument in the courthouse yard here,
and over $1,000 will be needed 10 cover
the expenses
A sumptuous repast was served the old
soldiers by the host. Every delicacy OBJ
tainable was served.
A pathetic incident of the day was the
calling of the roll of the dead. The grim
old soldiers stood with uncovered heads
as names Of their comrades who now fill
heroes graves were uttered, and the
tears cOursing down their cheeks showed
how deeply they were moved.

HObsOn's Kiss.
Chicago Record.)


Lieutenant Hobson performed a gallant
and heroic feat when he sunk the Merri-
mac under the Spaniards' fire. and every
loyal American rejoices 10 see him hon
ored. But the war has had other heroes,
too. and so far as history has been re-
corded not one of these has yet been
publicly kissed by a beautiful young
woman as a tribute to his valor. To
be sure. Hobson is not to blame for this.
He merely took what the girl at the
Long Beach Hotel offered him. But why
should there be any discrimination In his
favor. as against Dewey and schley and
Wainwright? Why hasn't somebody
kissed Theodore Roosevelt yet?
IL would be wholly unlike Robson TO de-
,nand especial honors. In sheer gall
lantry and politeness he could not refuse
10 comply with the young woman's re-
Quest. He couldn't run away. because
he IS a military man, and he had no
subordinate officer at hand whom he
might have ordered 90 receive the salute.
He had no time for delay. especially after
tho Young woman had ascertained his
range and cleared for action. There was
nothing for II but to sail In under So
capa battery OF two bright eyes and open
fire.
Hobson being thus acquitted of any
purpose TO moropolize hoBors. IL remains
10 be seen whether American girihood Is
10 ignore its plain duty In making due
amends 10 the other heroes Of the war.
Let Judgment be suspended until all the
men who sunk Spanish fleets or stormed
Spanish forts have come home and placed
themselves within firing distance OF the
patriotic American young woman.

bagging, was lynched here this morning
by mob, and his body is swinging from
a telegraph-pole on Fillmore street. in the

assaulting Charles Dazelle with SAND
bag about three miles south of town last
Wednesday, since which time Mr. Da-
zeue has been in a critical condition,
and his life despaired of.
