it stood the same.
On the one hundred and fifth ballot II
seemed absolutely sure that Ergenbright
would get the two votes he needed and
this would probably bring a good many
more. Wheatley saw it He knew that
Campbell probably could not give him
enough votes to nominate him, even if
Campbell was so disposed. Wheatley
told Cherokee county to vote for Camp
bell.
The tumult which followed Sprouts
break to Ergenbrightswas trebled when
Cherokee county voted for Campbell.
For five minutes the Crawford county
delegation stood up and yelled. Other
delegations caught the spirit Of it and
joined in. There was a rush to get in
the Campbell band wagon Amid the
tumult Cowley county gave its solid
delegation, a votes, to Campbell. Craw-
ford followed with 81, and then Elk
which had divided its delegation be-
tween Ergenbright and Wheatley, gave
it all to Campbell. Labette and Mont
gomery stayed by Ergenbrights but
Neosho went back to Campbell, and so
did all but one delegate from Wilson
county.
The commotion kept up throughout
the ballot. AT one time J. H. Dana. OF
Montgomery, got up and moved that
Campbells nomination be made unani-
nous. but the tumult was SO grea
that the motion could not be put.
The last ballot stood: Campbell. 124;
Ergenbright, 81.

ed up Campbell, who was in the rear Of
the pavilion, had been seized by a
number of his friends. borne through
the jam on their shoulders, and literally
hurled on to the platform by them in
their enthusiasm. The crowd instantly
demanded a speech.

Wheatley was then called for, and he
said:

Mr.. Campbell had just made, but this

otherwise. I can truthfully say that

Hair Changed Color.

1t is said that a young girl has just
died in the asylum at Hamburg who
possessed the peculiar gift of changing
the color of her hair according to the
state of her mind. In periods of
sedateness" the hair was its natural
color; When excited it became reddish,
and her anger was indicated by a blond
color. Three days were generally re-
quired for the change to be completed,
and her complexion also varied in the
same periods and in thesame direction.
