rivals were massed on the walks and
streets awaiting the signal to get in. The
street vendors did thriving business in
buttons and badges and a lively trade
was carried on in seats for the convention
at rates varying from So for a single ses-
sion up to $50 for the three sessions.
While these scenes were being enacted
about the convention hall, the political
managers and the delegates were holding
their final conferences and caucuses and
preparing for the work before them. Hi
nois, Ohio and 4 number of other delega-
tons held morning meetings for organiza-
ton. and felt the pulse of the delegates
on the e-presidential situation. Most
of the State delegations arranged to go
to the hall as bodies, many of them be-
ing escorted through the streets by their
marching clubs with bands and banners.
TO the leaders, however, these outward
demonstrations had little interest, and
they continued to spend most of their
time in the privacy of upper chambers at
the hotels, trying TO figure out the per-
picking questions presented.

CookreIl introduced to CLARK

Senator Cockreii of Missouri is one
of the Senatorial landmarks at the ma
tiOnal capital. Although he has been
in public life for long time he has
never thrown away either the habits,
clothing, or personal bearing of the
honest countryside from which he
sprang. Once, at political gathering
at Sedalia, the Senator was standing
apart from crowd in one of the hotels.
A number of the committee on enter
tainment saw him and concluded that
he was not being properly looked after.

1t is not always safe to put too much
trust in a dog. An Ellsworth man had
highly priced dog. and when neigh
Dor presented bill for two hens which
he claimed had been killed by the brute
the dog owner was grieved and posi-
lively refused TO believe the charge or
pay for the hens. A few days later
the Ellsworth man was driving by the
farm where the hens had been killed.
The dog was with him in the carriage.
He drove into the farmers yard to
prove to him that his dog was not
guilty. Let out your hens he said,

could be stopped he had killed four.

In the block northeast of the court

o'clock, and, borne by strong south
west wind, cut a diagonal swatch across
the court house square into the blocks
on the south and west. Both the north
and east sides of the court house are in
ruins; two other blocks cornering on the
square and one-half of the block west OF
the square are destroyed. In the vicinity
of the court house the path of the fire is
nearly two blocks wide and its area was
confined to that portion of the town only
through the most strenuous efforts of the
Bloomington fire department. aided by
re-enforcements from Springfield and Pc

Philadelphia Correspondence

Philadelphia Correspondence
Shortly after noon Tuesday the twelfth
national nominating convention Of the
Republican party was called to order in
Philadelphia, the same city in which the
first one met forty-four years ago. OF
these twelve conventions Philadelphia
has had three, Chicago five and Balti-
more, Cincinnati, Minneapolis and st.
Louis one each.
Tuesdays proceedings were of a purely
perfunctory character. Senator Hanna,
chairman of the national committee, call
ed the convention to order. A supplied
clergyman read lengthy prayer in a ST
lence which was truly remarkable in so
vast an audience. Then Secretary Dick
read the call. The delegates answered to
their names and Senator Wolcott was
installed as temporary chairman and
made speech, after which the commit
tees ON credentials, organization, resolu-
tons, and rules were selected and retired
for elaboration.

conhagration. Before the special trains
carrying aid from Peoria could arrive the
fire had encompassed the court house.
In the block west of the square the west
ern branch of the fire was checked by the
combined efforts of the departments and
with a liberal use of dynamite.
1t seemed that the court house square
split the confagration into two wings,
one circling to the blocks east of the
square and the stronger gathering into
its nav the blocks west and northwest.
AS soon as the western branch was rem
dered safe the departments hurried across
the burned district to the front of the
eastern wing burning fercely southeast
of the court house. At the critical stage
of the fire the water pressure was def
Gent and the departments were power
less. Business men were compelled TO sit
with folded hands and see their merchan-
disc destroyed with nothing to check the
onward march of the fire. Dynamite was
used with telling effect and the fire was
checked more through this agency than
with water.
