Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1900-07-06


almost instant departure for the home
of him who is to be this conventions
nominee for the presidency, fairly
dazed the most astute political lead
ers. While, apparently, nobody here
knows why Mr.. Hill was summoned
to Lincoln, all thoroughlyar realize
that his visit is more than significant.
Harmony in the convention, for which
all the leaders are striving SO vigor-
ously, may depend upon it and it
may mean that Senator Hill, after
ALL will sink his personal desires and
become the party's candidate for the
vice presidency.
The suggestion that Mr.. Bryan's
nomination for the presidency be
made on the Fourth of July, at the
first session of the convention, has
met the approval of very many of
the leaders and delegates already
here. Arrangements are being made
to carry the plan into execution. AS
it now appears, the one obstacle that
may arise to prevent the nomination
from being made on the anniversary
of the nations natal day, will be the
inability of all elements of the party
to agree upon the platform to be
adopted. Even that may not prevent
Ut.
The statement is made, apparently
upon good authority, that Mr.. Bryan
will come to Kansas City before the
close of the convention. His pres
ence here, it is urged, will be not only
Inspiring, but immensely beneficial
TO the interests of the party. Should
he be nominated on Wednesday, it is
said that he will come to Kansas City,
his coming being corollary of the
proposition to nominate him soon
after the convention meets.
With respect to the planks on elm
perialism" and expansion, a note in
a minor key has been sounded from
the western part of the country, es-
pecially from the Pacific coast. Both
Mr.. Bryan and the leaders of the
party in Kansas City have been urged
mot to make the anti-expansion plank

THE RESERVOIR BURST.
Ono Hundred Million Gallons OF Water
Turned Loose q Thicklv-POpulated
District ut Grand Rapids.

Grand Rapids, Mich. July 3.-The
reservoir of the city waterworks sys-
tenn burst Monday, letting loose a
deluge of more than Zoe, OOO, 900 gal
Ions. of water upon a thiclzly popu-
lated district on the hillside imme-
diately beneath it. The damage is
estimated at hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Houses and barns were
washed away, others were badly
damaged and district three blocks
square was partly wrecked. None of
the houses in that district escaped
damage. Many are filed with sand.
The Grand Trunk railway tracks were
undermined Sc that trains had to be
sent around by the Pere Marquette
Mrs. William Cooper, aged 80, was
swept away by the flood and buried
in a mass of sand and wreckage. Her
injuries may prove fatal. Her hus-
band was also badly injured. A num-
Der of others sustained minor in
juries. The district swept by the
food is occupied by the houses of
workingmen, and the losses are. con-
sequently more deeply felt.

MIsHAP SAVED A FORTUNE.
Two Burglars Who Used Dynamite on q
Chicago Laundry Safe Were Badly
Mangled and Ran Away.

Chicago, July 3.-A bold attempt
by two masked men to loot the safe
in the Office of the Globe Laundry
company early Monday was frustrated
by an accident that may prove fatal
to one of the marauders. In explod-
ing dynamite to batter the lock of
the inner door of the safe one of the
men had his right hand torn away and
his arm shattered, while the other
thief was struck in the face by a
flying fragment of steel. The in
jured men fed, leaving gagged and
bound on the floor three men en-
ployed by the company whom they
had surprised sleeping in the room
adjoining the Office on the second
floor. The mishap saved large sum
to the company, the officials intimat-
ing that the safe contained thousands
of dollars, but refusing to disclose the
actual amount.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 3.-Monday
was really the first business day of
the democratic convention. Soon
after ten o'clock the democratic COM
mittee assembled at the Kansas City
club to consider the claims of contest
ing, delegations, formally to select
temporary officers and transact some
other preliminary business. The
United States Monetary league at the
same hour began its first session at
the Auditorium theater, and at night
the new Convention hall was opened
with a promenade concert.
The one distinct topic of converse
ton is the visit of ex-Gov. Hill to Mr..
Bryan at Lincoln. The governors

ton with the republican party he
was now ready to hand in his adhe-
sion to the democratic party. He
charged that the republican party had
violated its promises on financial
questions. He said the republican
party had now taken the place of
Spain in the Philippines, and was
shooting down the patriots of the
Philippines. On motion of Mr.. s'Coin''
Harvey a committee was appointed
to prepare and report to the league
a declaration of principles. The
committee consists of w. 81. Harvey,
John P. ST. John apd James B.
Weaver.

too strong, lest the declaration injure
the party's chances in the western
states, where, it is understood, ex-
pansion is strongly favored. 1t is
Aelieved, however, that no comfort
was given those who urged such ac-
ton by either Mr.. Bryan or by dem
ocratic leaders generally.
NA3osity Favors q General Affirmation.
I Kansas City, Mo-, July ga poll
of the delegates who arrived in adj
vance of the full delegations shows
that coz of the total delegacy of the
convention will favor a general af-
Armation of the Chicago platform.
There will be 1O2 who will insist on
q specific repetition of the silver
plank. Two hundred and thirty are
not yet represented in Kansas City
and cannot be counted, though a
great majority are known to agree
with the plan of general affirmation.
Notwithstanding this preponderance,
there is feeling that Mr.. Bryan
may force his own opinion upon the
convention.

UNCLE SAM THEIR FRIEND.
Scenes Accompanying the Inauguration of
Havana's Mayor Showed the Masses Are
Friendly to the United States.

- Havana, July 3.-The Inauguration
yesterday of Gen. Alexandra Herman
DEE, as the first Cuban elected mayor
of Havana, and the parade have been
the subject of much local comment,
especially in the case of the parade,
as it showed that the feeling of the
masses of the people towards the
United States was exceedingly friend
ly. Though the parade was not COM
posed of big landowners, bankers or
lawyers, or of rich business men, still
there was no question that it repre-
sented the majority of the people.
Every organization, as it passed the
balcony where Gov. Gen. Wood and
his staff stood, uncovered even dur
ing the pouring rain. The last hour
was made the occasion to give an inn
mense ovation to Gen. Wood, person
ally, and before the paraders passed
each body gave loud '@vivas" for the
United States.

TWO HUNDRED LOST.
Havoc In Its Wake-Property Destroyed
Will Aggregate About d, 100000.

New York, July 3.-Although it is
still impossible to tell how many
lives were lost in the great fire that
swept away the piers of the North
German Lloyd Steamship company in
Hoboken on Saturday, and destroyed
three of it's ships, the best estimate
that can be obtained is that 100 MEM
bers of the crews of the burned ves>
sells persisted. Some Iongshoremen
lost their lives, but the agent OF the
company thinks that the number was
much less than so. OF the visitors
who were aboard the ships he knows
nothing, but inquiries have been made
at Hoboken for 33 persons not MEM
bers of the crews, who are reported
to be missing. The property loss is
believed to be between $4,000, 900 and
$1,000, 900.

Kansas City. Mo-, July 3.-Gov.
Theodore Roosevelt was given a re-
markable reception in this city Mon
day. The governor, on his way from
New York to attend the annual re-
union of the rough riders, which
takes place this week at Oklahoma
City, Ok, arrived here about $3.50 a.
M, and for half an hour democrats
and republicans alike united in giving
him vociferous welcome and in shak-
ing his hand until he was glad to
quit. The Santa Fee overland train
on which Gov. Roosevelt was travel
ing was due at $50 a. m. At that
time about 1000 people had congre-
gated in the union depot sheds to
get a glimpse of New York's gov
ernor, but by the time the train
along the platforms, sitting on the
roofs of the train sheds and clinging
to the iron Orders. Shortly before
Gov. Roosevelt's train arrived big
delegation of Kansas democrats and
few delegates from that state, all
carrying huge sunflowers, arrived,
and they also waited to see the re-
publican leader. When finally the
Santa Fe train slowly backed into the
shed, and Gov. Roosevelt, smiling and
specialized, was seen on the platform,
a perfect roar of cheers went up.
s'Hello, Teddy" 3'Teddy, stop off and
talk to the democrats" yelled enthu-
iastic members of the crowd. The
governor laughed at the last remark,
but refused to talk politics. The in
slant the train stopped a rush was
made for the platform to shake Gov.
Roosevelt's hand, and it took the
united efforts of a score of policemen
stationed around the car to keep, the
crowd from degenerating into per-
feet mob. For 20 minutes the gov
ernor was kept busy shaking hands
with enthusiastic men and women
who succeeded in crowding up to the
car platform. Several members of the
rough rider regiment attired in khaki
were among those at the station, and
to these the governor gave an espec-
tally cordial greeting. The crush
during the struggle to shake Gov.
Roosevelt's hand was terrible, and
several women tainted in the crowd.
No one, however, was seriously hurt. !
Continuous Ovation In Kansas.
Lawrence, Kan, July 3.-Gov.
Roosevelt swept across the Sunfower
state greeted by a continuous and
hearty ovation. The stops between
Kansas City and Topeka were very
brief and the governor refrained from
any extended address. At every point |
the crowds were clamorois for a |
speech but were compelled to be |
satisfied with bow and smile and |
a brief expression of the governors |
pleasure at meeting them. With as |
many as could be reached he invaria- |
bly, shook hands. The applause was
without limit and it appeared to
come from people of all degrees of
politics. It was not so much for |
Roosevelt as a candidate for vice |
president as for ''Teddy," the rough |
rider and the man. A number of the !
most prominent citizens of Kansas |
the governor across
their state. Among them were Gov.
William e. Stanley, Senator Lucien
Baker, Congressman Chester I. Long, |
Congressman Charles Curtis, Con-
gresham j. d. Bowersock, J. r. Bur-
