State Miscellany.

Chicago5 June IA pathetic story
of a woman's love and her struggle TO
keep the affection of her husband was
revealed at the coroners investigation
of the death of Mrs. Nels Peter Sal
strom, of 351 Cornell street. Mrs. Sal
Strom committed suicide two weeks
ago by taking strychnine. but the inves-
tigation was delayed until this week
on account of the disappearance of her
husband. The testimony before Deputy
Coroner Weckler disclosed the fact that
the heart-broken woman had ended
her life because she did not have $40
to pay Hilma Sunberg, a pretty Saliva
ton Army girl, to whom SalStrom had
been attentive.
HeIma Gets the WidOwer.
The story told before the coroner by
Hilma was that Mrs. SalStrom had
promised to pay her $50 If she would
never speak to her husband. Mrs. Sal
Strom paid her $40. and in her misery
she learned that Hilma met her huS-
band clandestinely. Then she gave up
hope and decided to end her existence.
Salstrom disappeared after her death
and the neighbOrs notified the police.
The husband was traced to Mendoza,
Ills, and then to Holland, Mich. He
when the jury had rendered it's verdict
he walked out the East Chicago ave-
nue. police station a free man. Hilma
Sunberg was at his side.
Met SaIstrom in Church.
Mrs. Salstrom came to Chicago in
1888. She was then Augusta Peter
son. BY hard work in a tailor shop,
where she labored for ten years. she
saved 50 900. She was devout Chris
tian, and attended Moody's church.
There she met Salstrom in 1898. Sal
strom wore a Salvation Army uniform,
and made love to the humble shop girl.
They were married in January. 1899,
and with his wife'S money Salstrom
started a -four and feed store. He lost
all his wife's money. The loss of mon
ey did not worry her. but she learned
that her husband paid a great deal of
attention to Hilma Sunberg. She sum-
moned Hilma. and begged her to give
up the man she loved. Hilma agreed
TO do so for $50.

PHILADELPHIA READY
Her Convention Preparations Are
Completed and She Now
Awaits the Crowd.
NATIONAL COMMITTEE Is AT WORK
Settling the Tough Problems Growing
Out of Contests-SeveraI Demo-
cratic State Conventions
Political Field Notes.

Philadelphia, June 15.-With all the
work preliminary 10 the entertainment:
of the national Republican convention
and It's attendant throngs practically
accomplished. Philadelphia is now con-
tentedly awaiting her visitors. From
the big convention hall down to the
smallest detail, those charged with the
responsibility feel that they have the
situation well in hand, and the COM
pleteness of the preparations seems TO
Justify the belief. AS yet, however,
the hospitality of the city is by no
means taxed There were very few
arrivals yesterday and the lobby
crowds at the hotels were composed
principally of those persons interested
in the contests with which the ma
tional committee was wrestling on the
breezy tenth floor of the Hotel Walton.
The fakirS with badges, buttons and
souvenirs made their appearance in
scattering flights yesterday, and decora-
tions were beginning tOappear sporadi-
cally. The great mass of delegates
are not expected to arrive until tomOr-
row and Sunday.
Federal OfficehoIders Turned Down.
The most interesting event in the na-
tional committee yesterday was the
seating of the Yarmouth delegates
from Louisiana after u very spirited
contest occupying nearly all day. This
is an overthrow for the federal Of
ticeholders Of Louisiana, ten of whom
Were on the delegation headed by VIM
berly, the collector of the port Of New
Orleans. Although Wimberly is 4 mem
ber of the national committee and
made the strongest possible preSenta-
ton of the case the committee, by a
vote of % TO Is. declared i'll favor of
his opponent. Among the men thus
denied seats in the convention is Will
lam Pitt Kellogg, former governor and
a one time United States senator from
Louisiana, who has been L delegate to
every Republican convention since
1850.
Represent Sugar Planting Interests.
Yarmouth and his friends who were
successful represent the sugar planting
interests of Louisiana, and the claim
was made before the national commit
tee that recognition of this faction
WOULD make it possible to elect three
Republican members of congress in the
state. The Delaware case is i'll abey-
ance while Il Subcommittee appointed
Wednesday is endeavOring to have the
factions agree. 1t is understood that
the Dupont-Higgins delegates insist
upon absolute recognition of their en-
tire delegation. while the AddickS men
have shown disposition to make some
concessions.
Henry &. Payne for ScofIeld.
Henry &. Payne, member of the na-
tiOnal committee from Wisconsin, yes
terday sent the following dispatch to
the chairman OF the Wisconsin delega-
ton: Il am not candidate for vice
president or any other office. L hope

mort (rnVprnnr SnhnfialH This
in answer to Il letter which Payne had
received and which suggested that the

opinion is growing here that the i'm

port has reached there from Tien Tsln
to the effect that a foreign legation has

the report. Ii is further rumored here
that the international relief parties are
experiencing great difficulties in regard
to provisions and water.
Supposed Cause of the Delay.
1t is believed that the delay has been
caused by the fear that the force was
insufficient to overcome the opposition
that might be encountered and thus
precipitate massacre at the capital.
Ii is added that the Japanese have
sent two more cruisers and have land
ed 600 additional troops. \ telegram
received from Yunnan Flu says that
the English and French missions there
have been burned and that the for
e!gn residents have taken refuge in
the yiceroy's residence. The trouble,

due to French intriEues-

OF Great Britain'S disclaimer OF the

firm the news of the burning of the
