NO LIGHT ON SUICIDE.
Friends of Thomas Gilmore Cannot
Account For his Act.

Thomas Gilmore. jr., who killed him
self in lodging house Thursday night
by taking strychnine, Will be buried
at o'clock today from the A. o. U. W.
hall on Main street. For some unac-
countable reason his wife did not ar
rive yesterday as expected from Tfntic.
Nothing has developed that throws any
light on the case, unless il is his state
ment TO a friend Thursday evening
that he had no money. He evidently
felt the need of coin, but at the same
time Gilmore talked cheerfully of GO
ing to Park City from here to get
work
He was drinking very heavily and
had at the time of his death only 20
cents in his pocket. His friends can
see no other reason for his rash deed
than that he grew respondent while
under the influence of liquor.

Evanston, Wyo., Sept. 29.-Mrs. Helen
Cougar of Indiana, spoke here last
night to a good audience. In marked
contrast to the great blare of the brass
band, the blowing of the whistles and
the efforts Of the Union Pacific Rail-
road company to show its bias in favor
of the Republican ticket by turning
orr the shop force to hear Roosevelt on
last Saturday, Mrs. Cougar came al
most unheralded. and the results of
the two meetings were just as dia-
metrically opposite.
After the Roosevelt meeting, moth
ing but disgust appeared on the coun-
tenances of even the Republican man
ayers. On the other hand, this morn

ing but praise unstinted is heard con-
corning the speech of Mrs. Cougar last

UTAH SOLDIER DEAD.
Herbert Auer, Formerly of Fourth
Cavalry, Passes Away.

Word reached this city few days
ago from New York of the death of
Herbert Auer, one of Utah's volunteers
in the Spanish war. Mr.. Auer was
clerking in the store of T. Auerbach &
Bro. at the time of the first call for
volunteers. He enlisted at Fort
Douglass and was assigned to troop z,
Fourth cavalry, seeing active service
in the Philippines and staying with his
troop until discharged for physical dis
ability early last spring, returning
home mere shadow Of his former self
He stayed here for a few weeks and
then went to New York, where his peo-
pie live, with the vain hope of regain
ing his health.
News of the young soldiers death
caused profound sorrow to all who
knew him, and many were the express
sions Of regret at his untimely end.

The Sweetest Words arc His.

No words ever spoken have had
such a history as the words of
Jesus. They have thrilled and con-
solcd the hearts Of bcrcaved men
and women, in the chamber of
death and at the gates of the ccmc-
terry, as 10 other words ever did or
could. In millions of cases they
have been the first words which
lisping infancy has learned in the
mothers lap, and in as many more
they have been the last words which
the aged and the dying have fcndly
uttered, as they closed their eyes in
all earthly scenes, and stood in the
presence of God. They have had
a power to administer consolation
in trouble, to raise the fallen, to
cheer the helpless, to awaken hope
in death, and to dispcl even the
gloom of the dying hour, that has
not belonged to any other written
or spoken words. Interior.

Montana started the tuneful old song
My Old Kentucky Home and one
verse Of it was sung with vigor, the
singing being followed by great cheer
ing as the young governor resumed
his seat.
Chairman Richardson announced
that he had been informed the plat
form committee would he ready to re-
port at $3.50 o'clock %. m.
T~hereupon a motion was agreed TO
adjourn until hat hour and the vast
audience filed out of the building amid
enthusiastic shouts for the favorite
leaders, and the enlivening music of
the orchestra.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
BY $3.50 o'clock nearly all of the del
egates were ready for business and
waiting the arrival of Chairman Rich
ardSon, who was a trifie slow in MAX
ing his appearance. The delegates
seemed anxious to get to work and
complete the business of the conven
ton and when at 1885 o'clock the Chair
man made his appearance there was a
ripple of applause. Many of the dele
gates had come prepared for the nom
ination of Mr.. Bryan. Dozens of them
carried small flags and numerous
plumes of bright colored pampas grass
were visible in various parts of the
floor.
The crowd rby $40 was the reates
that has attended any session of
the convention. The gate keepers
were for once rather lax in denying ad-
mission to people, and there were hun
dredS who had no tickets of admission
who were allowed to enter the build
ing. They swarmed in upon the floor
until it seemed impossible that there
could be room for n more.
At 3:46 senator Hill, of New York,
who had been absent from the two pre-
ceding sessions, came through the del
egates' door by himself. He was not
recognized at first n had nearly
HILL" Hill" broke forth. 1t was
coupled with considerable applause,
but the demonstration in honor of the
senator when present lacked several
DEGREES of warmth shown yesterday
afternoon and this morning. 1t was
not until 4 clock that Chairman Rich
adSon turning from a conference with
Governor McMillin and Senator White
picked up the gavel and brought the
convention to rder.
The Platform committee. headed by
Senator Jones, d. j. Campau, Senator
Tillman, and Judge VanWyck, had just
pushed their way through the dense
throng and, proceeding to the platform.
had taken seats thanking the chairman.
Mr.. Richardson appealed long and
vainly for order. The portly form of
Senator Jones, silver heaired n seri-
Gus, advanced to the front of the stage.
He held a roll of manuscript in his
hand; III it was useless to ak against
such a tumult n he dropped back
into his seat until order was restored.
At last the noise subsidized and Mr..
Jones in a clear voice announced: Il
am authorized by the committee on
resolutions to present the platform
agreed upon n 1 will yield TO the
senator from South Carolina, Mr.. Till
man, to read the document.
