A Suggestion.

If you want to sell, list your prop
erty with the agent whom you
think will do business for you most
satisfactorily-one to whom peo
pie come to buy-one who adver-
tises literally, far and wide, for
customers, and treats them right
when they come, and one who will
show your property to the custom
ers.
If you want to buy, go to the
same one-he knows titles. You
want clear title.
1t your property or life is not
insured you are taking chances
long ones. Most of us can't af
ford to take them. If you can't,
go to the agent who knows the in
surance business and is response
BILE citizen. Don't fear you won't
get the lowest rates-he don't let
business get away from him by
charging more than others that
would be ridiculous.
Loans made when security IS
satisfactory.
Deeds, mortgages, leases and the
like, drawn skillfully on short no.
tice.
Notary public always in the Of

very dangerous disease If not at first, it

The blood is quickly contaminated by

was nothing to do but await their re-
| porls and the convention took recess
at 2:3O until 4. At 4 o'clock the commit
tees were not ready to report and an
other adjournment was taken until $3.50

bring the most remarkable demonstra-
tion of the entire day. For the first hour
the proceedings were formal, but when
a the close Of the speech of Permanent
Chairman Richardson he paid glow ing
tribute to william ]. Bryan, pandem-
onium broke loose and the historic scene
Of Bryon'S nomination at Chicago waS
repeated. The state standards were
wrenchei from their sockets and borne
aloft, battle of supremacy was waged
between the stand bearers. urged on by
the deafening applause Of fresh shout
ing and gesticulating of the multitude.
Outside OF the formal proceedings Of
the day interest has centered in the ac-
ton Of the platform committee. AS the
evening advanced it became known that
a determined struggle was mi progress,
involving not only the question of in
cooperating Specific 16 to declaration
in the party declaration, but to some ex-
tent involving the desire Of the pros
pective nominee to the terms of the plat
form. The result Is awaited with i'm
patience.
The contest over the question of the
monetary ratio, which has been brewing
ever since the deli gates to the conven-
tion began to assemble, found express
sion in the committee on resolutions
when it assembled. The committee was
called together soon after the first ad-
jOurnment Of the convention, but then
only elected its officers, adjournng to
meet again at $3.50 p. m. Senator Jones
of Arkansas was unanimously chosen
chairman and Mr.. Metcalf of Nebraska
secretary.
When the committee reassembled Mr..
Metcalf presented the draft of platform
covering all que stions of public inteie est.
which draft all the members accepted as
Mr.. Bryan's expression upon this ques-
ton. Mr.. Girard Of Georgia also pre-
sented platform as did Mr.. Van Wyck
of New York. All these documents took
practically the same ground upon all
qut stions except that Of finance. Mr..
Metcalfs declaration was for the Ie-
affirmation of the Chicago platform in
letter and spirit. and it emphas and
reiterated specifically the declaration
for the free coinage of silver at the ratio
Of 16 to l. Both the other drafts simply
reatiirmed the Chicago platform without
reference to the ratio. The reading Of
Mr.. Van Wyck's document brought Mr..
Ball of Texas to his feet with the sug-
gestion that the financial question should
be taken up and passed upon. He said
1t was apparent to all that there was no
division upon any other platform ques-
ton, and that with the financial plank
disposed Of the preparation of the re-
mainder OF the platform would be merely
a matter of clerical work.

b00NO men will be necessary to subJl-
gate northern China, and oven then 1t
will take two OF three years. The T, re =
of the Chinese empire have gath,rei i

equal to the task Of restoring order.

would be suicidal to attempt to reach

the face OF the colossal force of i'm
perial troops and Boxers occupying the
country between Tien Tsin and Pekin.
So far from taking the offensive tie
10000 international troops at Tien Tsin
and the 5000 others at Taku and inter-
mediate points can barely keep UP COM
munications, fighting ince ssantly with
overwhelming numbers, using far more
numerous artillery pieces than The allies.
This telegram has been received:
Shanghai. July 4, 1l:lO a, M, via Che
Foo.--Tien Tsin city fell between ard
8 o'clock on the morning Of June 20.
1t Is understood that Shanghai un-
doubtedly referred to the native city of
Tien Tsin.. from which the Chinese have
been bombarding the foreign quarter;
and the dispatch Is taken to mean that
the allies are more than holding their
own.
Other advices received by way Of
Shanghai aver that the Chinese losses
around Tien Tsin are between 7C0o and
1000. according to official estimates.
Official news rec, ived a Che Foo shows
that the Chinese have been guilty Of
horrible cruelty towards the wounded
and captured, subjecting them to tie
slicing process. Under this hideous rite
the bodies of the fallen have been mutt
lated. The Russians are retalia ting by
the Wholesale shooting Of natives.
The situation, according to The Ex-

drifting into barbaIism and savagery.
Revolving stories are told Of barba ritit.s
practised upon japanese and EuI opean

w. D. Oldham of Nebraska nominated
Mr.. Bryan in the following speech:
More than 100 years ago the Conti-
mental congress Of America adopted a
declaration which had been drafted by
the founder of the Democratic party,
and the joyous tones of the old liberty
bell which greeted the act, announced
to waiting world that a nation had
been born.
With hearts unchllled by the selfish
sentiments Of cold commercalism, you
have responded patriotially to each
sentiment contained in Democracy's
first platform as it was read to you at
the opening of this convention, and in
view of the radical departure which the
party in power had made from the prin-
ciples set forth in that historical docu-
ment, 1t Is meet that we--true believers
in the republic of old-should, when
choosing a field and forming our lines
for the bloodless battle of ballots now
impending. say In the language Of one
Of the loved patriots of long ago. Read
this declaration at the head Of the army,
and every word shall be drawn from its
seaboard, and a solemn vow taken to
maintain 1t or to perish on the bed Of
honor"
Much of the history of this republic
shall be either made or marred by the
u,
resentatives of the only party which Is
coeXistent with the nation itself; the
only party which ever had within Its
own ranks sufficient constructive states
manship to create a nation in which
each citizen becomes q sovereign, have.
true to the traditions you bear, In your
platform set out in simple language
with decided American accent, a plan
for the peoples redemption from each
a n for oh hx,x Lo II
publican party. The plan contains
nothing but the approved precepts Of
the elders and doctors of your faith. II,
on platform. you place candidate
whose devotion and unblemlshed life
shall stand as q pledge to the plain
people that he, In good faith, will carry
out the solemn covenants made therein,
then the hour of our ultimate triumph
Is at hand.
There is no greater honor reserved for
a citizen Of these United States than to
become the standard bearer of the DEM
ocratic party. 1t at once enrolls his
name on the scroll of the "immortals
who are not born to die"
This high distinction must not be un-
worthily bestowed. 1t must follow as a
reward for noble actions bravely done,
for unrequited. tireless toll, for sacri-
fees made and strength displayed, for
trusts discharged and pledges kept. We
must seek leader whose public and
private life most nearly exemplifies his
party's highest ideals, who stands un-
uualifiedly pledged to every issue we de-
clare who will carry the standard we
place in his hands.
He must not declare for free trade
with Porto Rico. and then. at the per-
suasive suggestion of the sugar and to-
bacco trust sign bill for a tariff on the
products of that island.
He must not denounce policy as one
Of "criminal aggression and then, at
the demand Of a power behind the
