Tie Representative convention.

The representative convention of
the Democrats and Populists of the
I24th district was held at Meade
Sept. 8. The convention met in
joint session and organized by elect
ing Judge P. F. Vessels, of Liberal,
Chairman, and w. S. Bergman, of
Meade, Secretary. Committees on
credentials and order of business
were appointed and made their re-
ports, which were adopted.
The next on the order of business
was the nomination of candidate
for representative. The names of
S. D. Adams, of Meade, and J. w.
King, of Plains, were presented.
On an informal ballot the result was
Adams 1S, King IA. On the formal
ballot the result was: Adams "a,
King 8.
The Populist convention then or
ganized by electing S. M. Bennett
Chairman, and S. P. Bunch Secre-
tary. Mr.. Adams was nominated
by reclamation. A committee of
five was appointed as representa-
tive committee, consisting of w. A.
Frush and T. w. Campbell, of Sew
ard county, and S. P. Bunch, J. H.
Randolph and John Blair, of Meade
county. No further business, the
convention adjourned.
The Democrats had convened on
the opposite side of the hall and Or
ganized by electing Judge Vessels
Chairman, and Don T. Edwards
Secretary. The name of S. D..
Adams was presented and he was
nominated by acclamation. A rep
resentative committee was appointed
as follows: o. T, Wood and w. H.
Martin of Seward and w. S. Berry
man, w. F. Fee and D. B. Stutsman
of Meade. The convention then
adjourned.
The joint convention again as
sembled and declared Mr.. Adams
the unanimous choice of both con-
ventions. The convention then
listened to few remarks from w.
A. Frush, after which it adjourned.
The delegation from Seward
county consisted of the following
persons: P. F. Vessels, w. H. Mar
tin, 1. N. Spencer, T. w. Campbell,
Chas. Calvert, Ed. Stevenson, o.
T. Wood, Orville Henline, Alb.
Harvey, Sam Jones, w. A. Frush,
and Chas. Thore.
Among the visitors from Liberal
were Chas. Summers, F. H. Murphy,
Al Blake and John Edmonds.
The gentlemen from Liberal are
all pleasant and courteous and went
home feeling that they had helped
nominate the winner, in which opin-
ion we all join.
S. D. Adams, the nominee, is well
known to every one in Meade county
and needs no introduction. Seward
county will also become acquainted
with him as the campaign progresses.
Mr.. Adams has been a resident OF
this county for nearly fifteen years
and his ability and integrity are be-
yond question. He was twice elect
ed sheriff of Meade county and was
always a popular officer. There is
no question but Mr.. Adams will
have a good majority in November
and be our representative in the next
Legislature.

SUDDEN ATTACK
OF ILLNESS
Mrs. Mary Garden Found on Spruce
Street Bridge Unconscious, with
a Fractured Skull.

Mrs. Mary Garden, of 213 South Iry-
Ing avenue, was found lying in an un-
conscious condition on the Spruce
street bridge about o'clock yesterday
afternoon, with blood flowing from a
large cash in her head. She was re-
moved to her home in the Lackawanna
hospital ambulance, and DR.. j. w,
Busch offered the woman temporary re-
lief. DR.. NJ. III. Quinn was later called
to treat her injuries. 1t was found that
she had sustained q fracture at the
base of her skull, concussion of the
brain resulted, and recovery is pro-
nounced very doubtful.
Mrs. Garden was in a stupor when
found, and continued in that state
throughout the night. The supposition
is that while crossing the bridge she
was attacked by a sudden fit of illness
and in falling struck her head against
the iron railing or the car tracks. 1t
was at first thought that she was
struck by car or run into by a wagon,
but DR.. Quinn gives as his theory the
first quoted above.
Mrs. Garden, who is about fifty-five
years of age, was seen walking along
the bridge, with tired, dragging step
and peculiar. weary look in her eyes.
Shortly afterwards she was found in
an unconscious condition.
Mrs. Garden was last night pro-
nounced to be in very precarious con-
dition.

VALUABLE DOGS
ARE POISONED
Vandal Scatters Strychnine About
the Court House Grounds, with
Most Disastrous Results.

Hewetts wagon yesterday morning
carted away the carcasses of seven
dogs found in alleys and other out
Of-the-way places in the vicinity of
court house square. All had died from
strychnine poisoning.
An investigation showed that the
dogs had eaten of poisoned meat on
court house square.
B. B. Megargee, of the wholesale
paper firm of Megargee Bros, owns a
valuable bull terrier. Sunday evening.
Richard Davis, chief of the court
house police, noticed the dog stagger-
ing away from the grounds and acting
as If about 40 go into spasms. Know
ing the dog and of its being highly
priced, he hastened to Veterinarian
Decker and directed him to overtake
the dog and care for him. The veter-
marian caught up with the dog as it
was nearing its owners home, and af-
ter working on him until 4 o'clock
yesterday morning, brought him
around all right.
Mr.. Megargee yesterday started out
to hunt down the vandal He began
his Investigations at the county COM
missioners' office, but all the employees
one after the other, stated positively
they knew nothing of how the poison
ed meat came to find it's way to the
court house grounds. They all knew
that the northeast corner of the plot
is favorite play ground for dogs, and
that on Sunday, when so many per-
sons take their dogs along when out
for a walk, that 1t is not uncommon
to see half a hundred CANNES sporting
about the grass. Why anyone should
want to go into such wholesale and
indiscriminate slaughtering of doggies
none of them would attempt to say.
Mr.. Megargee continued his investi-
cations in other directions, but as yet
has been unable to arrive at Il salts
factory theory of why such an act of
vandalism was committed.
Who the owners of the other poi
soned dogs are has not yet been dis
covered. Several of them appeared to
be well bred, and one of them, collie,
was judged by dog fanciers to be es-
pecially valuable.

The daily reports of disaster in the
Philippines, says the Philadelphia
Times, are not what arouses hostility to
the Administration. We could glory in
sacrifices made for liberty. 1t is be-
cause they draw attention to the I'M
justifiable war of conquest undertaken
in violation of all American principles
that these losses in a needless and
wicked military enterprise arouse an
indignation that is not to be answered
by the specious plea ofimperial destiny
or commercial advantage.
This is one of the pregnant issues of
the campaign. The other is presented
by the chief manager of the syndicat-
ed Administration who makes his daily
call upon the moneyed corporations to
swell the fund by which he expects to
purchase for them a continuance of
the unlawful favors by which they
have grown rich. This close connec-
ton Of the Government and the trusts
is indeed more appalling danger than
the other, since it is fundamental 1t
is out OF this corrupting power that
imperialism grows. Mr.. Bryan stands
as the representative of the people
against these encroachments on their
liberty.
