GALVESTON, Tex, July 17--At the Democratic convention here Judge John B. Reagan, the only surviving member of the Confederate States cab met, presented the name of Congress man Lanham for governor. In his speech he referred to the fact that Lanham probably would be the last soldier to serve as govern or of the state of Texas. There were no contests for any of the state offices. The only contest of the convention was the selection of a chairman of the state executive committee to serve during the ensuing two years. The platform says, "The Democrats of Texas in con vention assembled declare their faith in the principles of the party as set forth in the Kansas City platform" 1t is noticeable that neither Bryan nor free silver was mentioned specifically.

Hard Work in Store for Guard at Nj
 antic This Year.
 If reports being circulated in mill tary circles are correct, the members of the Connecticut National guard will Se given a taste of strenuous life at the annual encampment in Mantle next month.
 The plan under consideration by the officers, which it is said has been prac- tically decided upon, will include four days of active service. This will em- body the digging of entrenchments, sinks, etc, long marches and brisk en- agreements, and will effectually test the military calibre of the members Of the various regiments.
 The brigadier general and his staff according to all accounts, are not giv- ing much publicity to their plans. From some source, however, the fact has been gleaned that active service work is to be part of the program this year, and word is being passed along the line to get ready for the pick and shovel.

 estate of William l.. White. owner of the defunct Mammoth market. are two objects which almost scared the wits out of E. R. Perkins, who is in charge of the store. MT Perkins was looking over things in the basement of the market yesterday. There are so many things it took him some time. He finally came upon two long boxes re. sembling those used by undertakers. They were enough to excite the curi- osity of anyone much less curious CT inquisitive than Mir Perkins. There was q lot of truck to be cleared away before they could be got at, and when this was done the forbidding looklng boxes were pulled into the best light in the cellar, which was not good. The largest box was rather heavy, whicn further excited the curiosity of the keeper. It's lid was unscrewed and raised and lot of excelsior was re- vealed. But this material could not be the means that weighted the box; so the keeper removed some of the ex- celsior and to his horror what seemed to be human body was disclosed
