Missouri Republicans Assemble
to Nominate Judges.
Convention Is Addressed by
Senator j. r. Burton.

Joplin, Mo, July 15.-The Republican ju-
dicial convention, to nominate three can
didates for the state supreme court to
complete the ticket named at Jefferson
City, was called to order here shortly be-
fore noon today with 629 delegates. The
last time Missouri Republicans set about
nominating candidates for the supreme
bench they had to petition candidates to
allow their names to be used. Today there
are twelve canvaSseS in progress. State
Chairman Atkins and Richard c. Kerns,
national committeeman, have endorsed the
sentiment which is opposed to adopting
any platform political resolutions and
it is believed that the greatest length the
convention will go will be to reaffirm, in
so many words, the Philadelphia and JEFF
ferson City platforms Ben F. Russell, of
Steelville, decided upon last night by the
state committee, presided as temporary
chairman
The convention also will nominate a
man to fill the vacancy in the ST. Louis
court of appeals for which James T. New
lille, of Springfield. has no opposition.
State Chairman Atkins, introducing Mr..
Russell. said if there were any slatemakers
in the convention he wished to advise
them to make the best slate that ever
might be broken. 1.-The people will not
he declared, stand to vote for any man
pledged to any interest.
Chairman Russell talked of the election
frauds in st. Louis and said that Repub-
lican success this year would result in
lot and reduce the power of the governor
to at least that of United Monarchy
Samuel w. Moore and Richard H. Field,
from Kansas City, were finally dropped
from the race, leaving the following can
didates: Moses Wybark, of Ballinger; N.
A. Mosely, of Stoddard; James c. Kiskad-
dion. st. Louis; Henry Lamm, Pettis;
Sanford R. Ladd Kansas City and Ed
ward Higbee, Schuyler.
After the committees were named. the
remainder of the session consumed in
a speech by Senator J. R. Burton of Kan
q n ON a r c
there is any controversy between the sem

forty years has followed the suggestion

gress has followed the suggestions of
President Roosevelt.

The king was conveyed from Buck
ingham palace to the railway station in
an ambulance drawn by two horses.
The only other occupant of the ambu-
lance was Queen Alexandra. The We
hicle was drawn a walking pace. AL
though there was a small crowd at the
station there was no demonstration in
compliance with the express wish of the
king. The doctors and nurses awaited
the arrival Of the ambulance and a
party of blue jackets removed his ma

IN SEARCH OF PEARY.
Relief Ship Windward Begins
Her Voyage to Arctic Regions.

New York, July 15.-The Peary relief
ship Windward began her voyage to the
Arctic regions late Monday afternoon.
The Windward will stop first at Port
land, Me-. and then at Sydney, where
Mrs. Peary and her daughter will be
taken aboard.
During yesterday the members of the
Peary Arctic club and many guests WIS.,
tied the Windward, inspecting with
much interest the quarters which Mrs.
Peary and Miss Peary will occupy on
their northern voyage, and much more.
the little cabin in which they spent
eight long months imprisoned in the ice
at Payer Harbor. The little stateroom
was also the home of Lieut.. Peary
Jackson and Lieut.. Arnitage, much
smaller than the ordinary stateroom OF
an ocean liner, and was also the home
of Mr.. Jackson on his voyage to and
from Franz Josef Land. and in which
DR.. Nansen made his return from his
arduous and adventurous Arctic voy-
age. While the Windward cabin is
cramped, almost of diminutive proper
tions, semi-circular table in front OF
a transom of cushion, it will accommo-
date by careful packing half a dozen
people, but of course those on the in
side are unable to move until those
nearer the ends of the semicircle make
room for them. -Four people will fill the
cabin, while six crowd uncomfortably,
and therefore part of the time of the
visitors yesterday was allotted to the
oSSh anu " Tie new QGCkHOuS9 ne
forward decks of the Windward were
also busy yesterday, since stores for
year and additional supplies for the
Jenson station at Cumberland Sound
We're being stored, that the departure
might be effected at the earliest possi-
BILE moment. The little ship was all
hustle and activity, and she takes north
with her, besides the customary stores
and supplies large amount of mater
fal for the Eskimos presents from Mr.
Peary in recognition of their faithful
work and scientific instruments with
which to carry on deep sea work, and in
many respects is better appointed and
more completely equipped than any
ship which has ever gone to the north

Delegates to Wi eas.sin State
Republican Convention
Find Most of Their Work Al
ready For Approval.
SPOONER is PRESSED.
Strong Sentiment in Favor Of
His Reelection to Senate
Despite His Declaration That
He Has Had Enough.

Madison, Wis, July 15.-Everything is
in readiness for the Republican state
convention which meets in this city at
noon tomorrow. Candidates for various
places on the ticket were active through
out the day receiving their friends at
their headquarters where the delegates
and thousands of visitors who came In
during the day thronged.
The university gymnasium, where the
convention is to be held, has been fitted
up with chairs for seating about 3,0OO
persons. OF this number, 1,O65 will be
delegates.
Judge Levi H. Bancroft of Richland
Center will be temporary chairman.
The state central committee met dur
ing the day, settled all disputed contests
and made final plans for the gathering
Governor Robert M. Lafolette will be
placed in nomination bv H. w
Chynoweth of Madison and will receive
an overwhelming majority of the votes
cast An estimate of his strength gives
him about 800 votes. John NJ White
head of GAINESVILLE, leader of the so
called stalwart faction which is opposed
to the state administration, will likely
be placed in nomination and will re-
ceive the votes of the minority. For
lieutenant governor, Joseph o. Davidson
of Soldiers Grove is the only candidate
talked of.
There are several candidates for each
place on the remainder of the ticket.
For secretay of state Walter L. Houser
of Mondovi, is said to be in the lead
and will probably get the nomination:
He has for opponents Jos. r. Farr of
Phillips. Rock Flint of Menominee, and
Henry P. Schmidt of Milwaukee,.
Joseph G. Erd of Sheboygan seems to
have the lead for the nomination for
state treasurer. Other aspirants for
this office are Nels Holman of Dane, L..
N. Clausen of Washburn, John J.
Kempf of Milwaukee, j. F. Jardine of
Waupaca, Leander Ferguson of Bran
don and K. P Fuley of Hayward
In the contest for insurance commits
sioner q. M. Host of Milwaukee seems
to be leading by a long margin.
For railroad commissioner the name
of Nels Nelson of Washburn is the most
prominently mentioned.
Prof. Charles P. Carey of Delevan is
admittedly in the lead for nomination
of superintendent of public instruction.
About the only real fight, if any.

of John c. Spooner. While Mr.. Spooner
wrote letter two years ago unaltera-

that before Senator Spooner can be en-

MAKES HEAT RECORD.
This Is the Beginning Of the
Hot Weather.

The season for record breaking tenn
peratures seems to have commenced.
Last night was hot. There was very
little air stirring and the thermometer
only got down to II.
The hot weather in the west has COM
menced. At Yuma Monday the ther-
mometer stood at 108, at Phoenix no
and at Pueblo a. When it commences
to get hot in the southwest then it is
safe to look out for warm weather in
Kansas. Thes hottest day of this year
was June 10, when the mercury in the
government thermometer got up to 90.
The thermometer was on a fair way to
equal that today and at IL o'clock the
government thermometer had already
touched 92. The forecast sent out this
morning was: 'sGenerally fair tonight
and Wednesday," The wind this morn
ing was blowing six miles an hour from
the south. The hourly temperatures
recorded by the government thermom-

The firernen are not asking for an in
crease in salary but to be relieved of
certain duties in cleaning the engines.
1t is rule of the Rock Island that
each engine must be free from dirt and
grease in running into terminal sta
tions. The firemen claim that it is all
that one man can do to keep the engines
hot and that it is too much to ask them
to keep the engine clean. Some of the
smaller engines the firemen are willing
to clean above the running board but
when it comes to the large engines they
want them put in charge of entirely diff

The part of the city park which was un-

has left a heavy coating of mud on the
grass.
The emptying of the cellars at the
Wolff packing plant can now be accom-

have been ruined. No more damage Is
expected to the street car bridge.

THE TALE OF A BLACK PRINCE.
An Interesting Spot in Manahawken,
New Jersey.

The villageof Manahawken, in New
Jersey, situated few miles from the
coast, is one that can lay claim to
good old age. Upward of hundred
years ago it was quite settlement,
and houses are still standing there
that were built before the revolution.
A quarter of a mile back from the
main steet, surrounded by a dense
growth Of woods, is piece of land,
cleared and fenced in, which is known
as "the Cato lot" 1t you ask the old
residents of the village whence it de-
rived it's name they will tell you that
many years ago on this spot stood a
house in which lived negro who was
quite an interesting figure in the COM
munity.
About the year 1900 cargo of
slaves was brought to this coast from
Africa. and for some reason the vessel
with the blacks on board stopped in
the bay near Manahawken A resi-
dent of the village by the name of
Pidgeon, who kept hotel near the
bay-a building which is still there in
good state of Observation-Disclosures
one of the negroes and for long time
held him as his property. The slave
in question was splendid type of
physical manhood, tall and straight,
standing over six feet in height and
broad in proportion, with muscles of
steel and possessing an amount of
strength that was the wonder of the
villagers. This black Hercules re-
joiced in the classical name af Cato,
and claimed that he was the son of a
king in his own country. At the time
of his purchase it was said he was
adorned with gold rings on every
finger, in both ears and in his nose
Some time before Pidgeon died he
gave Cato his freedom and the black
married woman of his own color
and took up his abode in a small house
which was built on the lot referred to.
He appears to have been an industri-
GUS and peaceable member of the
community, and to have obtained a
comfortable living from the few acres
of soil which surrounded his home.
Stories are told of the strength and
endurance of the dweller of the Cato
lot" among them being this: Upon
one occasion two or three of the resi-
dents of the village met Cato walking
up the street toward the grist MILL
about mile from his home, carrying
four bushels of grain on his back in
two bags. The black giant was trudg-
ing along, apparently unmindful of his
heavy burden when the men stopped
him and engaged him in conversation.
Cato, without putting down his load.
Joined in the village gossip with them,
which they purposely prolonged in
order to test his endurance Time
passed, and the African stood in his
tracks, showing no more signs of
WEAKNESS than black statue. until
those who had accosted him left him,
and he went mis- way with as light
