 A QUESTION OF VERACITY.
 J. H. Carpenter of Yuma moved the appointment by the chair of commit tee of thirteen on credentials, one mem Der from each county. Judge J. H. Kibbey desired to amend the motion by allowing each county to select its own member, and Jerry Millay supporting the amendment, described the terms of a compromise by the conference com mittee the night before. Those terms, he said, had already been violated, but his side had restrained itself in the interest of harmony. It was proposed, though, that a stand should be made against this last attempted violation.
 It now appeared that the compromise of the night before was not compro- mise, but misunderstanding such a. might be expected to arise among gen- tlemen who speak different languages and have to resort to signs.
 J. C. Adams said there had been no agreement at all. He was member of the conference to which MT. Millay al luded and had submitted proposition to the Christy people which was n0t received in the same Christian spirit in which it was rendered. The olive branch had been rejected. The Christy folks replied that MT. Adams olive branch was withered and useless; that the whole matter should be settled i'll the convention and, said they: "If we are strong enough we will organize it; if you are stronger, the organization is | Yours." MT. Adams said that he car ! ried away from the conference no recoI- lection of any other understanding. ! Judge Kibbey said that the Murphy | committee had, 1t was true, submitted ! a proposition for harmony. but 1t in- volved the absolute surrender of the | Christy side. "But what's the use' | said he, "of talking about harmony 1 among republicans? They're always in l harmony unless too much is said about ! harmony"
 | The k!1beX amendment was defeated by vote of 47 to 8 as shown by a di- vision, none of tho proxies and some of 1 the delegates not voting. Though 55 was less than a majority or tho: cop veniOn this vote left no doubt of the nomination of Governor Murphy. Herbert B. Tenny of Tucson moved the appointment by the cnair of a com ! mittee of seven on permanent organi- 
 lay arose again in full realization of ! the hOpelessress of his objection to the one man power provided for in Mir. 1 Tenney's motion, and amended il by
 allowing the counties to choose thah l own members. He desired that his previous remarks upon the Carpenter
 motion be considered repeated. The
 amendment was lost.
 The following committees were ap-
 pointed and a recess was taken upul o'clock:

THE COMING TOGETHER.
Something Which Democrats Might
 Proftah'y Copy.

Doris theater would have been judged by one who had not heard of the convention. that it had been laid out for a republican battleground. One would have known this if he had ar rived there in advance or everybody else. even if the portraits of Lincoln, Mckinley and Roosevelt haG been put somewhere out of sight. There was general air of patriotism and propriety which belongs only to republican conventions. Two great flags concealed the foot of the stage for it's whole length and the folds of another beautf- ful banner were draped over the rear. The stage scenery was carefully ar ranged and there was a profusion Of roses, pottad plants and pampas grass of many colors.
 By 10 o'clock all the delegates were in their seats. There. was no pulling and hauling; no emissarres sent from one delegation to another. There was none of that ostentatious presence on the floor of unimportant delegates who act as if they carry the weight of half the party on their shoulders and try tn impress the crowd with n sense of their importance. Everything that could be done had been done, and there Was nothing else to do but await the result.
 While the convention waited the h. dian school band was playing in the gallery. When The Star SranpIed Banner" was struck up the delegates and audience arose. Some waved their. hats, others marked time; ladies waved flags and handkerchiefs. 1t the close of the tune three mighty cheers wer, given for the flag.
 THE BEGINNING.
 Chairman Drake of the territorial central committee called the conyen- toin to order at 1O:3O. He merely statcl tn@ business for which the dcleratos mad come together and said that in the absence of Secretary J. k. Corbett by Illness. J. Ii. Carpenter of Yuma would act. MT. Carpenter read the call. which was adopted and the convention pro- ceeded to business.
 Attorney-General Ainsworth nomf- mated A. J. Doran of Yavanaf for tenn porary chairman and he was escorted to the stage by Burt Dunlap of Ora ham and J. I. Roberts of Yavapai. Mr. Doran was introduced by Chairman Drake as The Noblest Roman of them aH.' He briefly addrescd the convon- ton upon the proud record of the re- publican party, which from it's incep- ton had committed n act of which it should be ashamed. Particularly with in the last four years it's career had been glorious. When il came into power it had found a bankrupt treas ury degraded citizenship and a lack Of prosperity. Within four years the country had been brought 10 the high est financial standing II had ever known. An American citizen had cone to be respected everywhere by reason of his citizenship and the America T flag victorious on land and sea was tho foremost of the banners of the world. Prosperity, largely the result of the wise administration of President Me Kinley. was smiling upon the country throughout its whole extent.

HIS GOLDEN JUBILEE.
Father Gaffney Celebrates
This Notable Event With
Beautiful Ceremonies Large
Fund For an Altar.

The celebration of Father Gaff-
ney'S Golden Jubilee, which took
place in st. Johns Catholic
church on Sunday last, was most
elaborate and imposing. The
spacious editice was crowded to
the doors and the beautiful service
intently followed by all.
Lovely fall flowers added their
fragrance and beauty to the scene
and to this was added the splen-
dor of electric illumination. The
entire community of the Novitiate
participated in the ceremony.
Father Gall'ney himself sung
the High Mass, assisted by Rev.
w. 5. Singleton, 5. j., deacon,
and Rev. j. II. Smith, S. j., sub
deacon. The scholastics sung
the Mass with full orchestral ac-
compartment. Rev. j. ii. o.
Rourke, S. j., rector of the No.
vitiate, delivered a most eloquent
and pleasing sermon, and paid q
highly deserved tribute to the
aged priest, whose energy and un-
taltering zeal has done SO much
for the cause Of his religion in
this section.
After Mass a reception was held
in the library adjoining the,
church, where hundreds flocled to
congratulate the jubilarian and
assure him of their well wishes.
The fund to build an altar in
commemorati0n of his noble work
received many additions and now
amounts to over a thousand dol
lars.

MILLIONS IN JUDGMENTS.
Doctor Wagner. the Famous
Litigant, Appears Again
With a Batch Of Suits
Against Prominent Citizens.

DR.. Harrison Wagner, who has
won great lotoriety for his suits
against this county, reappeared
in the United States Court in Bal
timore Monday with ~ more of
his peculiar suits in which he
claims millions of dollars on
thousands of magistrates .judg-
mentS.
DR.. Wagner brought numerous
suits against residents of this
county some years ago. All were
instituted before the late John
Haynes, a justice of the peace of
the county. The persons sued
generally paid no attention to the
suits and the results was that in
each case DR.. Wagner obtained a
Judgment by default for 800 and
81 80 costs.
In 1897 DR.. Wagner sued the
County Commissioners of the
county in the United States
Court in Baltimore to recover
about $4,000, 900 on II, 900 magis-
istrate's judgments. The judg-
mentS in that case were on
printed forms and had evidently
been prepared with great care.
Judge Norris threw the case out
of court on :he ground that the
judgments were not properly
proved. 1t was ordered by Judge
Morris that the trunkful of judg-
ments be retained in court, as
they had been filed in the case.
Since then DR.. Wagner has
filed three other similar suits in
the court and they are now pend
ing.
Twelve suits were docketed
Monday by this judgment-crazed
man, and the defendants, includ-
ing the County Commissioners
whose account is something over
two million dollars, are we'll
known residents of this county or
their estates.
1t is certain that these suits
will go the same way as their pre-
decesSOrs and the wonder is that
Wagner continues so persistent
after repeated defeats.

How often those words are on a

uttermost the nerve racked condition
of the body which makes life daily
martyrdom.
If this condition had come suddenly
1T would have been unbearable. But
the transition was gradual. A little
more strain on the nerves each day. A
little more drain each day of the vital
ity. Any woman would he glad to be
nd of such condition. Every woman
