An attack was lately made on C. F. Col
her, OF Cherokee, Iowa, that nearly proved
fatal. 1t came through his kidneys. His
back got SO lame he could not stoop with

him until he tried Electric Bitters, which
effected such a wonderful change that he
writes he feels like a new man. This
marvellous medicine cures backache and
kidney trouble, purifies the blood and
builds up your health. Only SOC at WIG

lowed another wild demonstration. Up
went the delegates upon their chairs,
over their heads went the flags and above
them all scared and rang the cheers for
Bryan. The band loyalty performed its
snare, but the noise of its creation was
but drop In the torrent. The men from
the state of Nebraska flung up large
banner bearing a likeness of Mr.. Bryan
upon one side, and upon the other the
word Nebraska" and a smaller por-
trait.
Then came Texas with its long pole sur
mounted by steers horns, and further back
some of the New York delegation, carving
their little flag bearing the words: Don t
think there are no 16 to 1'ers in New York. =
Round and round the hall went the march,
ing column between two walls of cheering
men, who stood beneath cloud of futter.
Ing flags. 1t was a demonstration fully
equal In fervor to anything that had pre-
coded. When the enthusiasm had run for
l912 minutes Chairman Richardson COM
menced to pound vigorously for order He
was lost beyond all power of hearing for
several minutes, and it was not until "
minutes had elapsed from the instant that
Mr.. Oldham had mentioned Bryan that
the cheering had subsidized and the conven-
ton was in order once more.
Mr. Bryans nomination was seconded by
Perkins, of Texas; Hill, of New York; Lo-
max, of Alabama; Moore, of North Caro-
lima; Daniel, of Virginia; Overmeyer, of
Kansas, and many others.
Bryan Nominated.
After the call of states was completed
the secretary began to call the roll on the
ballot for the presidential nomination. AS
the roll call proceeded the shouts Of ap-
prevail of the unanimity of the vote seemed
to increase. All of the large states Were
cheered heartily as one after another they
cast their votes for Mr.. Bryan. The list of
states and territories was completed with
the calling of the territory Of Hawaii. The
announcement by Chairman Richardson
that Mr.. Bryan had been nominated for
president of the United States unanimous
ly was received with great applause
After the nomination of Bryan the con-
vention adjourned until to-day TO noni-
nate the candidate for vice president. There
was fear of lighting the convention hall
when 1t was packed with people.

MAY NOT BE TRUE.
No Confirmation of Report of Massa-
ere of All Foreigners
at Picking.

London, July 6,-The story that all
foreigners in Peking were murdered
on June 30 or July / appears to be
circulating simultaneously at Chefoo,
Shanghai and Iientsin Yet, as it is
not confirmed by official dispatches,
and is not traceable to the southern
viceroys, who are still in certain com
munication with Picking, there is ba-
sis for the hope that it is untrue.
Cautious observers at Shanghai recog-
nize that even though these reports
are rejected events in Pelfing must be
galloping to tragic end. Corresponds
ents of the Express at Shanghai
gather details from Chinese sources,
which, pieced together, relate that
when the foreigners ammunition was
exhausted the Boxers and imperial
troops rushed the British legation and
poured into the courtyard with IA
natieal fury. The foreign troops we've
SO hopeiessly outnumbered that their
fate was cef4ain The moment the
mob broke, the courtyard was con-
verified into a snambles.
