KENTUCK|AN PASSES
LIE AND YET LIVES
Ex-Gov. Brady Gets Excited i'm
the Republican State
Convention.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July ia sec
ond day of political maneuverS in the.
state convention of Kentucky Repub-
licans today failed to eliminate in the
nomination of dark horse. Col. Nor
ris r. Belknap, of Louisville, received
the nomination for governor on the
first ballot. The threatened stampede
to ex-Gov. Bradley was quelled by an
emphatic declaration by Mr.. Bradley
that he would not be a candidate.
The platform favors the continuance
of existing Republican financial and
tariff policies and the nomination of
President Roosevelt, and says:
I'VE denounce assassination and law
lessness, whether in Servia or in Ken
call upon the enlightened intelligence of
the state to employ remedies to re-
establish order and to punish crime within
our borders. We especially arraign the
present state chief executive for so eXer-
cising the pardoning power as to sub
serve political and. partisan purposes with
the certain effect of encouraging crime
by virtually rendering criminals of Demo
cratic political faith immune from punish
ment."
Just before the roll call on governor
was completed, Judge Pratt withdrew his
name and Mr.. Bradley reiterated that he
rupted by a delegate who tauntingly
cried: "Your beat now"
As soon as the Kisses which greeted
the interruption had died away, Mr.
Bradley turned to the point whence the
taunt had come. and shouted:
81 don't know who you are, and / don't
care but you are a liar,
The interruption subsidized. The re-
mainder of the ticket is: Lieutenant
governor, ]. B. Wilhoit; treasurer.
John A. Black; auditor. George Welsh;
attorney general, William Beckner;

WEED is A DEADLY
Triple FOR CATTLE
Loco Plant Makes Them Crazy
Fighters-SearCh for an
AntidOte.
Special to The Globe.


LIVINGSTON, Mont. July ia
search is being made by the bugologists
of Montana for an antidote for the loco
weed, which has in the past caused
great loss TO the owners of cattle. Some
time ago came a report from the South
west that a naturalist there had found
an insect, resembling the chinch bug
that destroyed the weed. Ever since
then the Montana ranchmen have been
hot on his trail. but thus far without
success. All over the prairies are scat
tered huge fields of the loco weed,
which is beautiful to.the eye but death
to the cattle and the horses that eat OF
it. The weed possesses an intoxicating
property that drives animals insane
and permanently ruins them.
In the vernacular of the Western cav
tie country. the word "locoed" means
crazed. The loco weed habit is harder
for an animal to break than is the
whisky habit for a human being. After
a steer has once eaten of the weed he
will travel miles to get it, and after
he gets it he will eat until he is
raving maniac, when he begins fighting.
Three or four DRINKS of this kind
drive the animal permanently insane.
and then he becomes a menace to the
other animals. He will fight on the
slightest provocation, and generally
ends by goring half hundred or more
other steers and then running until he
drops dead.

Stories They T ell

His hair was long-so long, in fact,
that it curled slightly at the ends
and he wore a dark blue shirt with
a white collar that showed indications
of having done service for more than
one day. Intelligence and alertness
were apparent in his countenance, but
childlike innocence was the predom-
inant expression This facial pro-
nouncement was borne out by his
conversation, for as he stood on the
rear platform of the interurban car
he talked so that all could hear him.
1t was not that he desired to attract
attention to himself, but rather that
he wanted to tell his affairs to some
one, and was unconscious that his con-
versation was so generally observed.
In clear and natural tones he told the
conductor that he had tried for posi-
ton as motorman and had worked for
a time on probation, but his eyes gave
out and he was forced to give that up.
He believed now he would try to get
a position as conductor.
After the conductor had stepped in
side the car to 5collect fares, one OF
the other occupants of the platform
turned to the youth and said:
81 should think you would try for
something better than a position in
the street railway service; that is the
sort of thing a man takes to when he
can get nothing else and you look
like a young fellow that could fill a
better position.",
And the answer came as does some
times the innocently apt remark of a
child:
well, perhaps Z shouldn't have gone
to the street railway company, but l
had a letter from Gov. Van SAINT to
the president asking him to give me a
job" 80.

Mr.. REEVES RESIGNS.

Announcement was made yesterday
that Alfred Reeves, secretary Of the EN-
pire City track, had rendered his resig-
nation to the Empire City Trotting Club
and New York Driving Club. Mr..
Reeves sailed or Florida on the S. S.
Iroquois yesterday, but will return within
a month. He has volunteered to look
after the tracks affairs until the first of
the year. Failure to agree on terms for
next year is given as the reason for Mr..
Reeves's resignation.
The season at Empie track is admitted
to have been the most successful in its
history. The grand. circuit meeting unt
der the new Empire plan inaugurated at
the track, furnished the fastest time in
trotting history; the New York Driving
Clubs matinees, under its own plan, re-
suited in the fastest time of any amateur
club in the country, while the course
at Yonkers is credited with the great
1.57 mile of Prince Alert, pacing; the
wonderful mile of 50 As seconds by Old
field and his automobile, and the 200
journey of Major Delmar.
