OVERS NOMINATED
BY THE POPULISTS

Denver, Sept. 22.--The Peoples par
ty state convention met at the auditor
ium OF the Brown Palace hotel yester'
day afternoon and nominated Frank
W. Overs for supreme judge.
Chairman a. b. Gray presided. with
James J. Connell as temporary secre-
tary.
Frank w. Overs was put in nomina-
tion for supreme Judge by Mr.. North
cult. candidate for Congress on the
Peoples party ticket last fall. The
nomination was seconded by nearly ey-
cry county represented. There were no
other nominations, and Judge Overs
was made the unanimous nominee of
the convention.
The resolutions characterize the pres
ept Republican administration as Cor

famous and as a browning proof OF its
infamy we point to the condition In
Cripple Creek, where the militia of the
state have been farmed out like Hes

conspiracy TO break a strike. Al the
time the militia was ordered there. the
courts were In fun operation. crime of
all kinds WAS less prevalent than usual,

PRICE OF SILVER
TAKES A JUMP

Washington. D c. Sept. 22.-There
was another substantial advance In the
price of silver bullion yesterday, and
the small margin between the face val
tie Of the Filipino peso and its bullion
value was still further reduced.
Offers were received at the mint bu-
roau yesterday OF S25 ounces OF silver
bullion for Philippine coinage. FOR deliy-
cry at the San Francisco mint. at 59,s
cents per ounce
The price was so high that after con-
sultation between officials OF the Treas
ury Department and the bureau OF in
sular affairs In the War Department,
all offers were rejected.
The London quotation for silver bull
lion to-day was 1926 pence per ounce.
At yesterdays rate Of exchange, this
was equivalent 10 500 cents.
AS the bullion value of the Filipino
peso will be equal To It's face value N
silver advances to Gi,l cents per ounce.
the present difference between the bull
lion value as represented by yoster-
days London quotation. Is but a. cents
per ounce.
As the price of silver has already ad-
vancod over 10 cents since the pur-
chasos for the Philippine coinage were
commenced. there Is considerable anx-
ioty lest n further advance of half that

WV NSu'bSk i'SaouISV n0doSs
Assistant Attorney General Hersey
has filed suit agai,>,t Van Il. Rouse,
former treasurer of the st. Louis
Worlds Fair board, in the district
court at Denver. The complaint calls
upon Rouse to hand over to the st.
Louis Worlds Fair board the sum OF
$1S,466.63, the amount of the last
voucher which Rouse drew out of the
fair fund The complaint states that
the suit was begun under the instruc'
tons of Gov Peabody and John Holm
berg, state auditor,
Some months ago Rouse, when no
was treasurer of the board and mem,
Der of it, drew out this amount OF
money for the purpose of using 1t for
the building of the st. Louis Worlds
Fair board in st. Louis next year
This was done to keep the money
from reverting to the general fund.
In July when the changes were made
in the board by Gov. Peabody, Rouse
still had the money and he has re-
fused to give it up.
The suit is brought for the purpose
OF securing tne money from MN. IL
was at first believed that in the same
suit would be included n number of
vouchers which 1t was claimed were
illegally made out. But an examina-
ton of these vouchers revealed the
fact that they were afterwards APP
proved by the members of the board
in regular session. All of the vouch-
ers have not yet been examined, and
If 1t is found that any of them have
been Illegally paid then suit will be
brought against Rouse for the amount
of them also. Rouse denies that he
has been legally deposed from the
board
