WILL GET KENTUCKY.
Endorsement of Roosevelt by
Convention Seems Assured.

Louisville, KY, July 15.-The morning
of the state Republican convention
finds the BellSnap forces still claiming
the LBS votes necessary to nominate
on the first ballot 1t is admitted by
many, however, that the opposition to
the leader gained somewhat in strength
yesterday and that if the supporters of
Augustus E. Wilson and Attorney Gen
eral Clifton J. Pratt are able to pre-
vent the nomination of Col. Belknap on
the first ballot they have a fair chance
Of nominating Pratt or Wilson with
former Governor w. o. Bradley and
Judge A. r. Burnam as possibilities in
the event of a struggle of any length.
The days work will begin with the
meetings by congressional districts to
select members of the convention COM
mittees. The convention will be called
to order at o'clock this afternoon, by
c. NJ. Barnett, chairman of the state
central committee The temporary
chairman will then appoint the mem
bers at large for the committees At
this point the Bel1nap supporters hope
to score by the appointment of two of
their number to the committee on ere
dentials, thereby assuring themselves
that 249 contested Belknap votes COM
prising the entire Louisville delegation
viii be seated. The reports of the conf
mittees will be followed by the per-
manent organization of the convention
and the adoption of the platform. Nom
nations will come last. and, on account
of the contests before the committee on
credentials, may not be reached until
tonight and possibly another session to-
morrow will be necessary.
Former L. s. Senator w. J. DebOe
will receive the Belknap backing for
permanent chairman and commissioner
Of Internal Revenue John w. Yerkes
will be chairman of the committee on
resolutions. There is not enough anti
administration sentiment to make
show of strength. The resolutions will
be of the stand-pat variety and an en-
dorsement of Roosevelt's candidacy now

to Support All His Wives.

Salt Lake, Utah. July 15.-According to
a decision of the state supreme court
man is under moral but not legal obliga-
tions to support his plural wives and edu-
cate his children by such unions The de-
cision was rendered on appeal from

of the Mormon church. the legal status
of marriage exists between parties who in
Utah before the enactment OF any statute

riage in which they mutually agree to as

that relation and in pursuance of that
agreement openly cohabit as man and wife
and hold themselves out to the public as
such. But in the absence OF such an agree

HOME INDUSTRY

Home industry talk is used for
arious reasons by various people.
ONE use it to give them a chance
b graft others use it to further
heir own ends in divers other
Fays, too numerous to mention.
Home industry talk is all 0 K if
is backed up by the proper acts
n the proper spirit.
If you want to buy pair Of
hoes, you ought to give your local
caller the first chance to sell to
Fou; if you want anything that
'Lny local man has you ought to
live him the first chance to furnish
It to you. The people of vicinity

Enterprises to manage the affairs

Will Wickenburg neglect these OBJ
Eious truths ? and will our citi-
ems waste their time in petty

IN theoretic objections and allow

Wickenburg Smelling Co,

Now that we have a smelter in
our town, just about completed and
ready for work, we want to bear in
mind that the interest of the smell
ter people is our interest=-it is now
part of the resources of the dis
trict of Wickenburg. The success
of this would be the biggest adver-
tisement that Wickenburg has ever
had. It is, therefore, the interest
of every one Of US to support the
smelter in any way we can. [ say
this without having dollarof stock
OF interest in the proposition, ex-
cept the Individual interest that |
think every one in the whole min
ing district Of Wickenburg ought
to feel. The corporation compos-
ing the Wickenburg Smelling Co.
are gentlemen of energy and prac-
tical experience, who are spending
their own money and pushing the
work earnestly, with good force
of men.
Nothing now remains but for the
mine owners to furnish the ore.
This, there may be some hesitancy
about, as people are generally skep-
tical as to whether they might get a
square deal, or not, which is natu-
raj, but unless we give the smelter
fair trial, we will never know.
Now let us all join in promoting
the interests of the district of Wick
enburg and every one of us who
has any suitable ore, even if only
FIVE or ten tons, haul it in and give
the smelter it's first run. There are
sufficient teams in Wickenburg
ready and prepared to do this work.
The smelter cannot start up unless
a sufficient quantity of ore is on
hand to make a run on. Have you
stopped to think what that run
would mean, if successful? That
run would mean a car of bullion
shipped from Wickenburg. Just
think of the advantage and adver-
tisement that this would be, not
only for our own individusl claims,
but for the whole mining and mer-
camille district of Wickenburg as
we'll. This would give our news
paper man something to talk about
and give ourselves something to
write about, something for us to
hold UP before the public as ma
terial substantial inducement to
capitalists seeking investments.

OUR CXHIBlT Or MINERALS.

Shall we let our mineral exhibit
go By default? The future OF
Wickenburg was never brighter
than today. The place has the
natural advantages that go to
make up a town and it has the
necessary conditions as to the loca-
tions of mining enterprises to
make it live and up-to-date city.
Let us not sit idly by and see
the golden opportunity for a big
lump of advertising 60 by and all
unimproyed. Some kinds Of ad-
vertising reflect badly, but the ex-
hibit of the minerals which form
our resources cannot help but re-
feet creditably upon the country.
We are anxious to see something
doing in this line. We have made
suggestions that have failed to
bring forth any results so far, and
now we hope some one who under
stands the conditions more thor
oughly than we do will make some
suggestions and we will get into
line and help carry them out.
Write out your ides for publication
and send them in and we will put
them in print over your name and
then you will get credit for al that
you do. Don't all come at once,
for you might overcrowd our space.
But talk it over among yourselves
and hand Us a good live article
each week by turns. Or suggest
the ideas to US and we will fix up
the articles.

Tar and Feathers Used

tarred and feathered by an angry
mob. Underwood loved booze bet
ter than he did his family. He
drank up all his earnings and mis-
treated his half-starved wife and
children. The citizens of his neigh
borhood only tarred and feathered
him. If he does not "cut out" the
booze and cruelty they will give
him more severe dose next time.
