v.rERANs Al SAN FRARcIsco.
Denver, Salt Lake City and St. Louis
Seek Next Convention.

San Francisco, Aug. 18.--The mem
bers of tie Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, who have been arriving by every
train for the past week to attend their
thirty-seventh annual national en-
campment, were treated to a genuine
surprise lact night. AS they came
from tho east and south taoy had
noted that the city was in gala attire.
They had seen bu1inass buildings dec
grated in national colors and had cas-
ually observed the wires strung across
the principal streets. The twin Goth
ic arches erected in the center Of the
business section of the city also came
in for a share of appreciation. But
this gave way to admiration as dark
ness fell and the electric current was
turned on. Then, suddenly, as il by
the call OF a magician's wand, the city
was transformed from its daily COM
mercial aspect into veritable aspect
of delight Tho Gothic arches span
ming tho principal avenues, elaborate
in their decorations and crowned with
flags, suddenly burst into bloom. each
a marvel Of color and artistic design.
Possibly nothing finer had been seen
in America, certainly nothing of equal
beauty in this city,
The events of the day were OF the
routine order, nothing special being
on the program. Arriving delegations
were received and escorted to the
quarters assigned to them, old friends
exchanged greetings, and many excur-
sions were made to nearby points.
st. Louis and Salt Lake are the
chief competitors of Denver in the
contest for the meeting place of the
national encampment in 1904. All
three cities are making strong fights
but talks with many delegates indi-
cate that st. Louis stands good
chance Of capturing the prize.

MAY RATiFY THROUGH FEAR.
Colombian Senate, Afraid of Annexa.
ton, May Accent Canal Treaty.

Panama, Aug. 17.-Letters received
from Bogota say that up to Aug l
the Panama canal committee had only
held one meeting on account of the dis
gust of the members with the con-
duct of Senator Perez, who insisted
on recalling the treaty at the first
meeting. Senator Obaldia, a warm
supporter of the treaty, has had sew
eral conferences with President Mar
roquin and United States Minister
Beaupre. but Notwithstanding their eff
forts the committee could not be in
duced to report in favor OF the treaty
Both the house of representatives
and the senate are deeply impressed
with the persistent rumors which
reach Bogota of the possibility of a
movement for the secession OF the 18TH
mus is case the treaty is not ratified
The fear that such an eventuality
might follow failure to ratify the
treaty appears to constitute the only
chance for favorable action.

which recently left Alma, some to seek
homes in Washington and Oregon and
others in search Of health in the sunny
climate Of southern California:
eve had "A fine trip considering
the time of year. The special car we
had from Alma was very nice, but ow'
ing 10 the cold weather il had passed
through before it was given us, one side
was frozen and could not be thawed out.
When We got TO Montpelier, Ind, we
were three hours behind so we were
given another and better car and were
hooked on 90 a special team consisting
of the officials of the Pere Marquette in
a Pullman sleeper and our car and
treated to as swift ride as / ever took.
We would have gotten into ST. Louis,
Mo, on time, but at Decatur, III full
train was made up and Just before We
got TO st. Louis a drsw-bar was pulled
out Of one Of the mail cars and we lost
an hour and a half.
when we arrived at St Louis il was
discovered that the vestibule on our
car was broken so we we're given another
car. AS we left st. Louis we could see
the Exposition buildings and all of rs
got good view of the grounds and
buildings under construction. Owing to
the weather we were about an hour and
a half behind schedule time in getting
10 Kansas City and the train we were to
take was just pulling out as we pulled
in, but the conductor on our train
stopped the train we were to catch and
and we made the change without loss OF
time. On this train we had very nice
tourist sleeping car with stove in one
end TO make our tea and coffee on.
"Mr. and Mrs. Hsyt and Mr.. Hayt's
mother joined us at Ozage City. The
next morning Saturday we woke mp

egates, calls were made for Victor Murdoch
and when the young leader entered the
hall, and everybody recognized his read
curls, a demonstration followed that
would stir the blood in any man.
Victor maiden political speech was an
i1promptu one and he acquitted himself
in a manner that satisfied the expecta-
tions of his warmest admirers. 1t had IN
it that supreme element of worth, sin
certify and his thoughts were expressed
with that ooncisiveness that comes from
long experience in an editorial chair. He
grouped the essentials of his subject with
taste and he expressed them with mod
esty. 1t was speech from the heart to
home people-to those who were school
boys and playmates with him, to old men
who bought candy for him when he was
a little chap and to the men who nave
known him during his evolution from
youth to manhood-from a romping,
freckled-faced boy to a sedate man Of
affairs. He spoke with some emotion.
He first expressed mis- sincere gratitude to
the convention for the high honor paid
him and then recited his experiences in
local political life. They all believed
him, because they knew it was true, when
he said that he never had a thought of
asking anything from the Republicans
of this county but the privilege and the
pleasure of working in the ranks at cau-
cuses, primaries and in county conven-
tions. He referred pleasantly to his first
observation of partisanship, telling how
he followed a torch-light procession in
which was Col. Murdoch, who bore a
transparency charging that General Han
cock, then a candidate for the Presi-
dency wore corsets. He briefly outlined
his policy which is the essence of Re-
publican policies during the past forty
years. His reference to the splendid char
~,
and n statesman provoked a storm Of
applause.
Mr. Murdoch concluded by a handsome
talk about rival candidates in the room
Senator Charles Branine of HarySy
county and William Wallace of King
man county-and introduced them to the
convention. Both received a rousing re-
ception.
Senator Branine made an elegant adj
dress. alluding to Mr.. Murdoch in WY
complimentary terms. He is very
bright and able man and an orator of
more than ordinary ability. He spoke
of the record of the Republican party,
of its past achievement and present pur-
poses and brought them out in a light
that pleased the convention. He made
splendid impression and will be remeEl-
bered in the future years by Sedgwick
county Republicans.
William Wallace is always sure to get
what actors call "a hand before a Sedg-
wick county audience and when he was
introduced yesterday the storm Of APP
plause that greeted him would make any
man feel proud. He said he was mad
and that the cause of it was that Vic
called him Mr." Wallace for
the first time in his life. He wanted

always heretofore did before. Mr. Wal

A Conversation With a Climax.
When a Professional Man Talks It's

Several famous American physicians
and surgeons were recently dining to-
gether after a session OF national meet
ing held in New York.

remarked a surgeon present, whose name
as a specialist in rectal diseases is word
wide. My patient was woman, a deli
cate, nerve racked creature, who had
suffered so fearfully from the ravages
Of hemorrhoids. that the knife seemed
the only solution of the trouble, and yet
her heart was weak and her strength
so wasted by this fearful disease, that
we dared not operate.
Il had ceased my visits to her for a
time and had given UP all hope, when
one morning she entered my Office looking
like a new woman. the pallor had dis
appeared and the lines of suffering were
nearly eradicated from her face She
told me that she had purchased a proprie-
tory medicine. namely Pyramid Pile Cure
and that from the first insertion Of the
suppositories she had obtained instant re-
lief. I made an examination and found
the rectum in excellent condition, the in
fiammation entirely disappeared and the
