Talks OF the Republican Conventions Says
Roosevelt Will Carry Nebraska.

Hon. J. F. Ailshie of Grangeville, who
was delegate to the national convention
at Philadelphia and left here on the 10th
of June, returned on today's steamer in
company with the Nez Perce republican
delegation, who were at the state conven-

TELLER reporter he said:
"The national republican convention
at Philadelphia was extremely harmon
ious, And, if indications are anything
in the eastern and middle states the ticket
will be elected by an Immense majority
over the Democrats. The people all along
the line of the Union Pacific were very
enthusiastic over the entrance of any of
the delegates through their towns.

with the results, as was everyone present
at the convention. Nothing on earth could
have stopped the enthusiastic demonstra-
tions for Teddy Roosevelt tor vice pres
ident and his appearance on the floor
of the convention hall was always
the signal of wild demonstration, be-
fore returning home stopped in Omaha
and was agreeably surprised at the popu-
larity of Roosevelt in the state of Ne
braska, he is considered a hero there and
the fact that number of his selections
for the Rough Riders" were made from
Nebraska, will be great benefit. He
also owns big stock ranch there which
/ gives the state claim on him.
Icame on to Boise to attend the state
convention, and will say that it was the
most harmonious and largest convention
ever held in the state, everyone is per-
fectly satisfied with the ticket and North
Idaho is exceedingly pleased with the
representation given them on the ticket
and I have every confidence that when
the day arrives for the ballots to be
counted that the republicans will be in
control of the state. While enrouts
home from Boise we received kilograms
from Pocatello concerning the Three
Hinged Circus, and will state that it is /

carried off with howls of triumph. Some
were already dead, having been shot by
foreign civilians. He says he saw Chi

PURNELL- -BATCHELOR.
NJ. starke Bachelor and Miss Lula Purnell
Married in Philadelphia.

A telegram received here yesterday
afternoon, from Philadelphia, an
bounced the marriage of Mr. Starke -.
Bachelor and Miss Lula Zevely Pur
nell. both of this city.
The marriage occurred at 1920
o'clock, in a hospital to which Miss
Purnell had gone for treatment. No
further particulars were given in the
telegram.
The announcement of the wedding
caused great surprise among the rela-
tives and friends of the two young
people as they seem to have confided
their plans to no one. Mr.. Bachelor
who is now travelling for an insur-
ance company, was in the city Sunday,
but seems to have told his purpose to
but few. The first hint Miss Purnel's
friends. outside of her immediate
family, had of the wedding was her
telegram yesterday afternoon.
The bride is the eldest daughter of
Judge Thomas II. Purnell, of the
United States court. The groom is
the son of Mr.. Joseph B. Bachelor, of
Raleigh. Both are popular young peo-
pie in Raleigh society and have many
friends who will extend hearty con-
CALCULATIONS and good wishes.
