church, offered prayer, after which
Mayor Reed made an address Of well
come. The chairman then introduced
Gov. Thomas, Of Colorado, rs tempo
rary chairman.
When Chairman Thomas Ind con-
cluded his address Michigan was rec
ognized to present a resolution pro-
viding for the reading Of the declara-
ton Of independence. The galleries
and the floor broke into cheering.
The band struck up america" and
because Of patriotic motives all the
delegates and the cheering thousands
stood up in their places at motion
from John /. Martin. While they SO
stood, cheering, waving hats and
handkerchiefs, n flag draped pedestal
was taken to the platform and an
other object, also wrapped in flag,
followed It. When the bust was UNI
yelled, behold, Bryan, absent in Lin
coin, faced the convention with mar
BILE countenance, rs II his image had
been set up for worship.
Chairman Thomas announced that
the committee on credentials was not
ready yet to report.
Instead of following the programme
that previously had been arranged and
proceeding Mt once to the other bust
ness Of the convention, Josephus Dan.
iels, OF North Carolina, was recog-
nized by the chairman for q motion
to adjourn until $50 o'clock Mt night.
Amid considerable confusion, Chair
man Thomas, at Ash. declared the
motion carried.
The scene presented at the night
session OF the convention was one Of
brilliancy and beauty. The vast audi.
torium was splendidly illuminated
At s:35 came the first command OF
Chairman Thomas for order. He said:
1.-THE delegates will be seated" Order
was obtained in few moments, when
Mr.. Gunnell, OF Colorado, claimed the
floor and was recognized by the chair
man. Mr.. Gunnell said: ut seems
to me that the committees are not
now ready to report, and seeing Gov.
John p. Altgeld on the stage, ! move
that we hear from him." The motion
prevailed by an apparently unanimous
vote.
Gov. Altgcld went to the platform
and was greeted with cheers. During
the early portion Of Gov. Altgeld's
address the hum Of conversation in
the galleries and among the delegates
WINS SO loud that not much OF what
he said was audible, except to those
close TO him.
Chairman Thomas then called for
the report of the committee on per-
manent organization. When 1t was
announced Hon. ]. d. Richardson, Of
Tennessee. had been elected as per-
manent chairman cheers swept over
the great audience.
When Chairman Richardson closed
his address by predicting the tri-
umphant election Of William Jennings
Bryan as president of the United
States delegates seized their states
guidons and raised them aloft. Twen-
ty human pyramids were formed in
order that guidons could be raised
higher and higher. The band added
to the hysteria, for hystcria 1t had
become, by playing "Dixie." The sit
untion was becoming dangerous.

distinguished guest and grasp his

army men and rough riders were his
constant attendants throughout tho
day. The weather was extremely hot
and dry.
The reunion was fairly inaugu-
rated by the civic and military parade
in which Gov. Roosevelt was given
the place of honor. During its prog
ress through the streets the rough
riders and their famous commander
were greeted with extraordinary
demonstrations Of enthusiasm from
the throngs which lined the streets.
Col. Roosevelt's address was the
feature Of the day. Five thousand
people packed the grand stand and
below were assembled the Indians,
cowboys and rough riders who had
participated in the parade. He spoke
alternately from the front and back
of the speakers stand and his voice
was thus clearly heard both by the
crowd on the ground below and that
in the grand stand. His address was
punctuated throughout by applause
and by answers to his rhetorical ques-
tons.

But 1t Has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands.

N0luC TO I0OuSauO9s
Common sense would suggest that If
one wishes to become fieshy and plump
1T can only result from the food we eat
ana digest and that food should be al
luminous or fleshforming food, like
eggs beefsteak and cereals; in other
words, the kinds of food that make
flesh are the foods which form the
greater part of our daily bills of fare.
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much. the
stomach, from abuse and overwork,
does not properly digest and assimilate
it,s,which is the reason that so many
people remain thin and under weight.
the digestive organs do not completely
digest the fiesh-forming beefsteak and
eggs and similar wholesome food.
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, altho they
may have no particular pain or incon-
venience from their stomachs.
If such persons would lay their preju-
dices aside and make a regular practice
of taking. after each meal, one or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the food
would be quickly and thoroughly di-
gested. because these tablets contain
