the purpose Of selecting thirty-eight
delegates to attend the state conven-
ton at Sioux Falls on June 4.
c. NJ. Seely was chosen chairman of
the convention, and after the prelim-
mary work was done resolutions were
enthusiastically adopted.
This gives George w. Nash the solid
support of the entire delegation, which.
with the strength he has shown in 9TH
er counties, practically cinches his
chances for the nomination of super
intendent Of public instruction. The
resolutions were in part as follows:
AS republicans, we favor the cleo
ton of United States senators by a
direct vote of the people; and as a
means to that end, an expression of re-
publican choice for that office should
be made at the state convention, and
respected by all republicans OF the next
Legislative assembly.
We heartily approve the record OF
hon. "A. Is. kittredge; we pledge hin.
our support for reelection and believe
he should be recognized and Endorsed
by the state convention as the repub-
lican choice for United States senator
and elected by the coming legislature.
RESOLVED, That we heartily indorse
and earnestly recommend to the state
convention Professor George W. Nash
the candidate of Lincoln county, for
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton. We know him to be eminently
equipped and well qualified for the full
and satisfactory discharge of all tho
duties pertaining to that important Of
nee, and we pledge our DEF gates
chosen at this convention to Use all
honorable means to secure his nominal
ton; and also to fully carry out al
sentiments herein expressed"

They further say that when it ripens
the stalk withers and that the out

with sort of wool. which they use
instead OF fur"

counsel for Roland r. MolineuX, on
trial for the alleged murder Of Mrs.
katharine j. Adams. have prepared
surprise for the prosecution in the per-
son Of an absolutely new witness, who
will swear that man totally unlike
Molineux in every particular purchased
the bottle holder which was sent to
Cornish with the bottle Of poisoned
bromo seltzer
This witness is Adrian Il. Holmes,
manager of the WoolwOrth store in
Newark. from whom man endeavOred
to purchase bottle holder on the day
the one which contained the poison
package was purchased. Holmes has
seen MolineuX and is positive he is not
the man whom he saw and directed to
the store where the article was bought.
An interesting feature of the days
proceedings was the statement by DR..
f. Styles Potter. on cross examination
by former Governor Black, that he had
received from the state $l,96O for his
services as a witness in the former
trial.
