WOOLLEY FOR PRESIDENT.
Defeats swallow In the Prohibition
Convention on First Ballot.

CHICAGO. June 29.-The Prohibition
convention has adjourned sine die
after having placed in nomination for
president John q. Woolley of Illinois and
for vice president Henry b. Metcalf of
Rhode Island. The nominations in each
instance were made on the first ballot.
Only two candidates for the presidential
nomination were balloted for. Mr.. Wool
ley and Rev. Silas c. Swallow of Penn
sylyania, Hale johnson of Illinois with
drawing his name at the last moment and
throwing his strength to Mr.. Woolley.
This undoubtedly had a great effect on
the result, as the convention earlier in
the day had been nearly stampeded for
Swallow by an eloquent speech of Homer
l.. Castle of Pittsburg and had the
friends of the Pennsylvania parson forced
ballot at that time the result might
have been different
For vice president three candidates
were balloted for. II. B. Metcalf. Thorn
as X. Caskardon OF West Virginia and
Rev. +. l.. Eaton Of Iowa, Mr. Metcalf
receiving an overwhelming majority of
the votes cast.

PROFIT IN A TRADE DOLLAR.
Hou an Indignant Michigan Man
Lost His Indignation and
Gained 8o Gents.

A man who came recently to Chica-
go from Michigan received trade
dollar in Chicago when he paid his
fare to the collector of a bus line at
the Park row station. IT was dark
when the transaction took place. and
the Michigan man did not discover
the character Of the dollar till the
next day. when he wanted to pay his
hotel bill. He was indignant.

manager Of the bus line and tell him

with an up-to-date dollar. am no

bill I gave him
The more the Michigan man
thought about the matter the more
his indignation grew. He had tried
10 pass the dollar at cigar stand
earlier in the day for 80 cents The
clerk refused to accept IL at any
price. Finally the victim of the bus
collector resolved TO forego letter
writing and 90 10 the bus manager

display Of gold coins in a window.
Guess I'll go in and see what the
thing is worth, anyway" the Michi-
gander said to himself. He went into
the store where the coins were dis
played and threw the trade dollar
onto the counter, asking: "Whatll
you give for it?"
The dealer examined the coin a
minute and replied: "I'll give you
s165."
IT'S bargain" said the farmer"
and with the s1.65 iingling in his

rived. Col. Roosevelt represents the
very best brains, pluck, push and
principle in the young blood of this
country. He is the prototype of the
twentieth century American. Nothing
could be more fitting than that such a
one should be Vice President to Presi-
dent Mckinley. If, as has been re-
marked by some, the Vice Presidency
has sunk into state of insignifcance,
Col. Roosevelt is just the man to raise
it again into position of significance
and importance.
These two men, standing on a plat
form that is worthy of them, are the
