THE EXECUTIVE
 COMMITTEE MEETS.

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Mont gomery, April 25-(SpeciaL)-The state democratic executive committee met again this morning. The first business taken up was the resignation of William M Selden | of Marengo, which was received by wire On motion the resignation was accepted and T. Y. Howell of Demopolis was elected to fill the vacancy.
 A petition was received from Dennis Tfd- well. Claude F. Drake and J. A. West of Morgan county protesting against the ac- tion of the Morgan county committee In the recent primary. It is charged that only the names of candidates for delegates to the county convention selected by the beat committeeman appeared on the ticket and no blank lines were left to vote for other candidates for delegates. For this reason the voters had no opportunity to express their choice for delegates to the county convention outside of the names printed on the ballot nor to express them selves for precinct committeeman. This matter was referred to the incoming state committee.
 The special committee appointed at last nights session to take up the Mobile con- test reported through MT. Lomax. The re- port found that the Mobile county conven- tion out of which the two delegations arose. was irregular, and recommended as a solution of the difficulty that both dele gations to the state convention be seated, each delegate to have half a vote. It was further recommended that the two Mobile county executive committees get together in the next thirty days and order new primary election to select another county committee, and that if this is not done, State Chairman Lowe issue call for such primary
 w. P. Pinckard of Birmingham was unanimously chosen temporary chair man of the state convention. The other temporary officers were elected as fol- lows: Secretary, Fillmore Garrett; assist ant secretary, H. H. Fitts; sergeant-at- arms, J. l.. P. Owens.
 Resolutions of thanks to Chairman Lowe and Secretary Miller for their faithful work and uniform courtesy during the life of the committee, both of whom re- sponded most graceful to the acknowl- edgement, after which the committee ad- journed.

BRYAN NAMED BY
 KANSAS POPULISTS
All Delegates Instructed to Vote
 for the NebraSkan.
THE LEADER WAS PRESENT I
MT Bryan Game on Special Train from Wichita and Was Escorted to the City Square, Where
 He Spoke

Clay Center. Kas., April 25-Kansas populists in state convention here today elected eighty-four delegates to the na- tional convention at Sioux Falls and in- structed them to vote solidly for William J. Bryan The delegates then adjourned and proceeded to the depot to greet MT. Bryan who came in from Wichita on q special train. Five thousand people es corted the Nebraskan to the city square and cheered him heartily as he spoke on the issues of the day.
 In the convention during the vote on delegates, George Easterwood of Kansas City said he had heard that democrats would spend $19,O00 in the Kansas City con vention to beat Bryan. Judge Pfost asked what the Kansas City delegates should do if there should be a move to postpone the | Sioux Falls convention until after the Kansas City convention to see who the democrats would name.
 w F. Greene of Wichita favored nomin- ating Samuel M. Jones of Ohio for vice president. He thought with Toledo's mayor on the ticket, Ohio and Michigan would be lost to the republicans. The proposition to endorse Jones for second place on the ticket was making rapid progress, when Albert Griffith declared that Jones was not eligible because he is not a native-born cit izen of the United States
 "If you adjourn to Kansas City, Griffith continued, you will do nothing but what the democratic bosses tell you to do. The populist party is in danger. If you be- come tail to the democratic kite this year the populist party is gone forever" Col onel J. J. Donaldson advised the convention to tell it's delegates to go to Sioux Falls and adjourn the convention to Kansas City.
 Then" said he, 'let them do the best they can, and may God help them.'
 The delegation was finally unanimously instructed for Bryan.

 TORY.

Although there have been five attempts upon the life of Queen Victoria, her oldest son and the future king of Great Britain and Ireland has been singularly exempt from the attentions of would-be assassins. This is all the more notable for the reason that Albert Edward, prince of Wales, has lived an open life not only at home but abroad and has been more accessible to the public at all times. than almost any member of the royal family
 Albert Edward, the prince of Wales, IS In his fifty-ninth year, having been born at Buckingham Palace November 9, 1S4l. He was created prince of Wales and earl oS Chester by act of parliament the month following. Other titles have been granted him until today he is prince of Wales, earl of Chester, prince of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, duke of Sax ony, prince of Saxe-Coberg and Gotha, great steward of Scotland duke of Corr- wall and Rothsay, Baron Renfrew, and lord of the isles.
 In addition to his numerous titles, the Prince of Wales holds high military rank at home and abroad being a personal aid- de-camp to Queen Victoria, field marshal of the British army, colonel-in-chief of the First and Second Life Guards and Royal Horse Guards, colonel of the Tenth Illus sars, and honorary colonel Of numerous regular and militia regiments. He holds the rank of field marshal in the German army and is colonel of the Twelfth regi- ment of Hussars in Austria.
 Yet with all his military titles the prince has never seen military service, his life being deemed of too great importance to the empire to be risked in the fortunes of war.
 The Prince of Wales has lived an un- eventful life, although he has travelled much, having visited Canada, the United

Warrenton April 25.lThe Boers having become emboldened shelled the village and the British trenches and it became neces- sary to give them lesson and to ascer- tain their strength.
 Monday night Colonel Paget placed sev- eral guns on the riven bank under cover of the darkness within 1000 yards of the Boer trenches, across the river. The horses and carriages were withdrawn beyond range, and at daybreak the British opened a heavy bombardment with shrapnel and Lyddite.
 The Boers were taken completely by sur prise, but they replied with five guns, in- cluding a forty-pounder, and heavy rifle fire was opened at the same time.
 The duel continued many hours, the Boers finally evacuating the position with, 1t is believed considerable loss. There were no casualties on the British side. During the evening the guns were safely withdrawn. The Boer laager has been removed far back to the eastward

 Resolution Committee
 When the chair announced the convention ready for business, MT. Sollie of Dale moved the appointment of committee of four from the state at large and two from each congressional dis trict on a platform and resolutions. The motion prevailed, and the chair announced the committee follows:

 First District-G. w. Taylor and Erwin Craighead.
 Second District-Chares Hall and F. M. Tankersley. r Farmer

 The chair announced that the next order of business was the nomination of a can ddate for governor
 John B. Knox of Calhoun placed in nom- ination Charles E. Waller of Hale; Judge Carmichael of Dale nominated Colonel w. J. Sanford of Lee; J. F. Stallings of But Ter was nominated by A. Steinhart Of But Ter, and General Charles M. Shelley of Jefferson was nominated by Captain Frank s. White of Jefferson.
 The name of each candidate was greeted with applause, Colonel Sanford having much the better of the others in this re- spect. It was evident from the demonstra- tion in his favor that Colonel Sanford had much the strongest following, and there were some who predicted his nomination on the first ballot.
 The balloting began, and as the chairman of each delegation announced the vote of his county he was cheered. At times, es- pecially when the larger counties were called, the roll call had to be suspended for several minutes. General Shelley's name was heartily cheered every time it was called.

Catarrh has been so generally thought to be disease confined to the head and throat that it is very difficult to get many people to understand that catarrh may affect any part of the human body. All the organs of the body are lined with mucous membrane; all the passages of the body are also lined with mucous membrane. Wherever there is mucous membrane there catarrh may exist.
 Peruna is not cure-all. It cures ca tarrh. This is all that is claimed for it.

S' Still there was no nomination, but it was evident that only few more votes would be required to give Sanford the nomination.
 When the result of the second vote had been announced, a motion to adjourn was | made and lost by a vote of 240 1-3 for, to 263 2-3 against. The vote against the mo- ton to adjourn came from supporters of Sanford, and there was hardly a further doubt of his nomination.
 The third ballot was never announced. 1 While the secretary and his assistants
 were casting up the vote, changes enough
 from Stallings, Waller and Shelley were
 made to give Sanford the nomination. When Clark county, which had been vot- l ing four for Sanford and four for Stall | ings, was called, the chairman cast eight for Sanford.
 Caused Stampede
 This was the first break and the Sanford men took advantage of it to create a stampede for their man. They yelled and shouted and stamped their feet on the l floor for two or three minutes, hurried consultations were held in all parts of the | hall and the greatest excitement prevailed. The Sanford men realized the time for a | stampede had come ,and supporters of the | others did all in their power to. stay 1t l for while. One delegate from Clarke l challenged the vote, saying the primary l of the county had instructed the delegates | how to vote and that the chairman of the | delegation had no right to cast the vote I contrary to instructions
 1 John B. Knox of Calhoun spoke in sup- | port of the challenge and John " Smith | of Russell, Colonel Samfords supporter, | spoke on the other side They consumed
 at least an hour and during the whole
 time the widest confusion prevailed.
 Finally the chair announced that Clarke
 would be pressed until the roll
 call was completed. When Dallas was
 reached Sanford was given eight of the
 sixteen votes instead of four as previously
