| mention, while the Rockford Star is
engaged in booming Hon. Ben T.
Cable, also of Rock Island, for the
nomination. One thing is certain:
There is no lack of candidates and
the Springfield convention may prove
| to be as exciting as the one recently
held at Peoria.
IT is generally conceded that Mr..
Dunlap, of Jacksonville. will be re-
nominated for state treasurer, al
though in some quarters he is being
spoken ofasa compromise nominee for
governor. For attorney general the
names of Judge Rufus NJ Potts, of
Taylorville, Hon. Hanly w. Masters.
of Lewiston; Hon. E. w. Hurst, of
Rock Island; Hon. Free P. Morris, of
Watseka; Hon. John M. Niehaus, of
Peoria; Hon. Reed Green, of Cairo.
Hon. James a. Graham. of Springfield,
and Hon w. II. Grow, of Pittsheld,
have been most frequently mentioned.
Hon. j. Nick Perrin. of Bellville, ap-
pears to be favorite for lieutenant
governor. B. j. Claggett, of Lexing-
ton, who ran for state treasurer in
1894. is also spoken of for second
place on the ticket. The name OF
Elmer A. Perry, CT Mt. Sterling, is
mentioned with much favor.
For secretary of state, continues
Standard Opinion. number of names
have been discussed, although so far
none of them has avowed his candi-
dacy. Among those spoken off are:
Frank W. Havill. of Mount Carmel;
Charles Boeschentein, of Edwards
vile; G. S. Hearn, of Quincy; George
Miner, of Shelbyville; B. j. Claggett.
of Lexington, and Perry o. Silver, of
Freeport. although they do not by
any means exhaust the list of avail
able candidates.
For state auditor. Hon. George b.
Parsons, of Shawneetown, is recelv-
ing strong support throughout the
southern portions of the state. James
A. O'Donnell. of Bloomington, and
William Loeffier. of Cook county, are
also being spoken of among many
others in connection with this place
on the ticket. 1t may be stated, how
ever, that so far as any of the minor
places on the ticket are concerned,
much depends upon the disposition
of the nomination for governor.

BIGGEST MOVING PICTURES.
Over Three Miles of Film Required

Over Three Miles of Film Required
to Photograph "Wild West"
Arrangements are being made in the
Edison laboratory, in West Orange,
n. J., for the taking of the biggest
moving picture ever attempted. This
is to illustrate the entire performance
of Buffalo Bills Wild West. To make
this picture $4,000 feet of film will be
required, and $4,000 separate pictures
will be taken. says the New York Press.
The film to be used will be all in one
piece and will be the longest ever
made.
The films on which the Wild West
pictures are TO be taken are of a larger
size than is generally used, and the fig
ures. when thrown on the screen will
be life size. An experimental picture
of a part of the performance was made
in Philadelphia recently, with splendid
results.
In taking moving pictures it is the
practice to grind the film through the
camera by hand at the rate of about
40 pictures a minute; but, as it will
take an hour or more to expose the
49, miles of film, an electric motor will
be used to turn the crank and save the
photographers arm from paralysis.

PoasihIa Candidate.

Adam Ortseifen, the choice of the
party leaders in Cook county for the
nomination for governor, says Stand
ard Opinion. of Chicago, lis in every
way fitted for the position of chief ex-
ecutive of the great state of Illinois.
As a thorough representative of the
German-American element he would
undoubtedly poll an army of voters
not counted in the ordinary party
alignment. He is withal loyal dem
ocrat and a business man of sterling
integrity and splendid qualifications,
as has been demonstrated by his rec
ord in connection with vast business
enterprises and as treasurer of the
city of Chicago. In all these respects
Mr.. Ortseifen's reputation in the bus
mess world is without a stain, while
even the friends and hackers of rival
aspirants concede that he would make
an ideal candidate.
In the meantime, however, the
friends of the other candidates have
not been idle. adds the same gossip.
Mr. Alschuler has opened personal
headquarters in the Sherman house.
Gen. Orendorff is still adding to his
already large stock of delegates in
the southern part of the state and
claims the VIII county delegation, al
though this is denied by Mr.. Aischu
ler's friends. Judge Worthiugton
will go into the convention with 3
considerable following and may sur
prise the leaders when balloting be-
gins. Hon. Charles K. Ladd IS also
accommodating delegates to an extent
that may make him q formidable fac
tor in the convention. In addition to
these there is. of course, more or less
gossip concerning dark horses. The

! Career of Capt. McCarty, Who Once
Figured In a Celebrated Romance.
| The last page of a romantic story
| was finished the other day in the death
at Richmond of Captain Page McCar-
| ty, duelist, editor, misanthrope. Twen-
| ty-seven years ago he killed John Nor
| decai, once his fast friend, and was
himself almost fatally wounded. The
duel was fought because of a young
and beautiful woman, Miss Mary Trip
lett, known as the Belle of the South"
| says the New York Sun. Mordecai
| and McCarty We're in love with her,
and none knew which was the favored
one. At ball one night the capricious
| beauty sighted McCarty in so marked
a manner that he left the house in dis
| gust. A few days after there appeared
in local paper these lines:
When Mary's form divine press
In Strauss sweetest waltz.
Those lips I, too, would fain caress,
Although those lips be false
When Mordecai saw the article, he
became enraged, declaring McCarty
| had written it, although it was unSign-
| ed, and that he must answer to him
| for the insult to Miss Triplett. The
| two met later in a cafe. There were
some words, and McCarty was knock
ed down. 4 challenge followed and
| was promptly accepted. They met just
as the sun was rising near lakewood
cemetery, where sleep 10000 Confeder
ate soldiers. Mordecai's seconds were

Jackson's physician, was one of the

AT the word both men fired together.
McCarty's right thigh was shattered,
while the ball from his weapon pierced
Mordecai's abdomen. The latter died
the following day. McCarty was ar
rested, tried and sentenced to fine Of
$500 and to serve II months in jail.
He paid the fine, but was pardoned by
Governor Kemper. Before he recover
ed, Miss Triplett, the innocent cause of
the tragedy, married Captain Philip
Haxall. She died suddenly a few years
ago.
The last days of McCarty were bit
ter. He was desperate, caring not for
man and avoiding woman. He became
celebrated during the readjuster regime
as editor Of The Campaign. He made
many attacks upon General William
Malone. and his controversy with Cap
tain John S. Wise OF New York was
notable. He used every means to goad
the latter into n duel without success.
Captain Wise's letter declining to fight
became celebrated In it he said that
''McCarty went around with the blood
of Mordecai upon his hand and thirst
ing for more"

GOOD TASTE IN DRESS.

Good taste in dress is largely q
matter of educati IN, and no lady can
afford to neglect this, no matter what
her station in life may be. A dress
should accord with reason and good
judgment, bearing in mind that there
is such thing rs beauty of outline
of form that should be constantly
sought for and used so as to bring
out the results an artist would desire
and appreciate. In no other way
could these results be obtained, ex-
cept by careful education and train
ing in such matters.
There have been many attempts
made to get a correct system whereby
all kinds of clothing could be cut for
general wear. There have been paper
charts, models, scales, folding and
sliding devices of every conceivable
kind, but none was successful.
There was no system for general use
that could cut anything beyond a
plain waist lining and plain sleeve
until the invention of the Diamond
Garment Cutter, which was the first,
and is today the only practical and
successful method of cutting and tit
ting all kinds of garments worn. And
again, there is not an article in
America that has been introduced
into family use that gives as much
satisfaction, saves more time, trouble
and annoyance, and what is better
still-money-than the Diamond Gar
ment Cutter.

cePt no Pay Whatever, Not
Even When Cures are
Effected.
A staff of eminent physicians and
surgeons from the British Medical in
stitute have, at the urgent solicitation
of large number of patients under
their treatment in this vicinity, estab-
lished permanent branch of the in
stitute in this city at No. 1902 Second
avenue.
These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months (medicine ex-
cepted) to all invalids who may call
upon them for treatment between now
and June Is. These services consist
not only of consultation, examination
and advice, but also of all minor sur
gical operations.
The object in pursuing this course
is to become rapidly and personally
acquainted with the sick and the af-
ficted, and, under no condition what
ever will any charges be made for. any
services rendered for three months to
all who call before June Is.
The doctors treat all forms of dis
ease and deformities, and guarantee q
cure in every case they undertake. At
the first interview a thorough exami-
nation is made, and, if incurable, you
are frankly and kindly told so; also
advised against spending your money
for useless treatment.
Male and female weakness, catarrh
and catarrhal deafness, also rupture,
goitre, cancer, varicocele, and all dis
eases of the rectum, are positively
cured by their new treatment.
