Cleveland's Mayor the Domin-
mating Spirit at Sandusky.
DICTATES THE RESOLUTIONS.
Ohio Democratic Convention Today is
to BE Opening of His Campaign for
Presidential Nomination - Wlscon.
sin Democrats Meet.

D Sandusky, o., Sept. 3.---Mayor Tom
L. Johnson OF Cleveland won a deci-
:siye victory in the meetings prelim-
mary to the Democratic state conven-
ton, which meets here today. Ever
since he was selected as chairman of
the convention by the state central
committee it has been the general
opinion that this occasion would be
made the public opening of his candi-
sdacy for the next Democratic nomi-
nation for the presidency In that re.
spect his success has been phenom.
enal. No oEOhio candidate for the pres1.
ency ever had more unaninity of
sentiment in his favor among the dele
gates at state convention than was
shown at the meetings last night by
congressional districts for the selec.
ton of officers and members of the
various committees. The committee
on credentials, permanent organiza-
tion and rules and order of business
are almost unanimously with him for
anything he wants. One of them
gave him the double honor at once Of
agreeing on report to make perma.
nent the temporary organization OF
the convention.
When the roll of the committee or
resolutions was called the members
from the First, Third and Eleventh
districts opposed the endorsement OF
Bryan and the Kansas City platform
and other Johnson planks, but the
johnson platform finally carried with.
out changes and will be so reported to
the convention tsday and adopted
without any minority report. In ma.
tional affairs the last national plat.
form and standard bearer are strongly
endorsed.
Ovation followed ovation at John
sons headquarters last night. The
delegates called in greater numbers
than ever after the results OF the even
ing. meetings became known. John
son repeatedly refused to respond te
serenades, saying that he wanted tc
save his voice for the convention.

SITUATION GROWING CRITICAL.
Skirmish Between Strikers and Guards
May Have Serious sequel-Fire In
Pocahontas Mine Has Been Prac-
tically Extinguished.

T. .Li
Bramwell, w. Va, Sept. 3.-The sit
uation in the Flat Top coal field is
extremely critical and the skirmish
between the strikers and the guards
at the Pocahontas collieries yester.
day, after the firing of the mine by
the strikers, has. greatly enraged the
miners, from the fact that number
on their side were severely Injured
It is thought here that before night
troops will either be in the Flat Top
region or en- route. The fire In the
Pocahontas mine has been practically
extinguished, but that company has
doubled its force of guards, as another
attack is feared at any hour. Many
shots have been fired from ambush
toward the direction of nonunion
miners going to and from work in the
Flat Top field.

The land Office this week rendered

Chief of Police j. w. Johnson VS..
James c. Hunt and Hattie L. Hunt,
who made timber and stone filings
on lands near Dayton creek, south
west of Kalispell. Johnson protested
against their making final proof, upon
the ground that the land was mineral
in character. Much expert testimony
was heard from mining experts of
Butte and other mining camps who
examined the land. Johnson sought
to prove the land mineral and intro
duced many witnesses to show that
the land had been prospected by him
self and others and that much money
had been expended for development
purposes. The register and receiver
find that Johnson failed to show the
land mineral in character and recon-
mend that Mr.. Hunt and wife be al
lowed to complete their entry.
A decision was also rendered in the
homestead contest of Joseph H.
Hodge VS.. Oscar j. Scheibe. Hodge
contended that Scheibe had aban.
doned the claim, and evidence was
produced to show that Scheibe had
been absent from the land a consider.

sickness was the cause and that he

A BRILLIANT SUCCESS.
Devine-Pittwood Musicale Fully Re-

Devine-Pittwood Musicale Fully Re-
paid Large Attendance.
After Lent passed in trying to
give ones higher nature the suprem-
acy-not in breathing in moral at
mosphere too rare and high for one,
but in a simple, human way trying
to make ones own small corner of
the world a little happier, if not a
little better-one feels rested and
frightened and ready for enjoyments
of all kinds.
The largest, most discriminating
intellectual and enthusiastic audi
ence that ever greeted a performance
of any kind in this city congregated
at the opera house Monday night to
listen to the concert given by Miss
Devine, pianist, and Georgia Carey
Pittwood, who is one of the leading
vocalists of Montana.
Miss Devines personality is charm
ing and her playing superb. Her
technical mastery of the keyboard is
simply marvellous, few if any have
exhibited more power and endurance
in finger and wrist movements or
more delicacy or softness. She for.
gets her audience and plays as she
feels. Her encores were so well rem.
| dered and received that the audi
ence took advantage of her gracious
ness and expressed their apprecia-
ton by recalling her many times.
blue Bells of Scotland, annie
Laurie" and "The Robins Return
are such favorites with the public
that they received more than the
usual share of applause. The climax
came, however, when she played the
Anvil Chorus" from "1 Trovatore, y
the audience was carried away and
the applause was deafening.
Too much cannot be said of Mrs
Pittwood's voice. She is one of the
very finest vocalists in the west. She
began to study when quite young
and has studied with some of the
best instructors in this country.
Her voice register is three octaves
o mezzo soprano quality, of great
sweetness and sympathy. IL is
| strong and mellow and her greatest
charm is her perfect articulation
Her encores were well chosen and
vociferously applauded. Just Keep
Cool, from the 'Burgomaster, was
so well received that she sang an.
other selection from this popular
| opera. Waiting" by Millard with
You" by Adams, and the beautiful
contralto solo of White, "My Love
Has Returned were the favorites
of the evening.
Both ladies were the recipients OF
| beautiful floral tributes.
Mrs. Pittwood and Miss Devine are
to give a series of concerts at differ
ent places in Montana
After the concert an informal re
ceptlon and dance was held which
was enjoyed by all. The people could
not hear enough of Miss Devine's
playing and she was prevailed upor
to play cold Black Joe," an arrange
ment of her own.
We have so few opportunities Of
earnestly hoped they will return il
the near future. They are sure tt
be heartily welcomed
