CONGRE SSIONAL
CONVENTION

The Democratic Convention for the
It'll congressional district, held at
| Dodge City on the 9th., inst was in
every respect the best held for a num-
Der of years.
The attendance was large, and
| harmony prevailed. 1t was, not cut
and dried affair, neither was it lack
] ing in interest, as the Republican
press tries to make it appear. The
| work allotted to the convention was
well done, an excellent candidate
nominate d, on progressive platform.
Hon. d. H. Rich was chairman, and
Henry Block secretary. A conference
committee was appointed consisting of
Geo. Pitts of Sumner, and H. J. Hag-
ney of Sedgewick, who conferred with
the populist committee, S. I. Hale. of
Rush and James M. Lewis of Ed
| wards. This committee wired Judge
Babb, the populist nominee, asking
j him if he would accept the Democra-
tic nomination, to which he replied,
that. being the chairman of the Peo-
pies Party State Central Committee,
he must stay where he was There
was then nothing for the convention
to do other than adjourn without
making a nomination, or to make a
nomination of their own, which they
proceeded to do. There were three
Candidates whose names had, been
presented to the delegates. They
were C. F. Clyne of Stafford county,
Jas. w. Clarke of Barton, and NJ. F.
.Belisle. When the conference com
mittee's report was received all three
of these candidates offered to with
draw their names, and have the con-
vention unanimously nominate Mr.. S.
l. Hale This was promptly agreedto
| by the delegates, but Mr.. Hale, who
was present firmly but courteously
declined the honore The informal
ballot was then taken, result
Clarke 81, Belisle 35, Clyne 80, scat
tering 10. After the first formal bal
lot, Mr.. Clarke's name was withdrawn,
and on the second ballot Mr.. Clyne
was. nominated.
The nominee is young and vieor-
Gus attorney of Stafford, a graduate
OF the university OF M1CnlSan, and
one who is well equipped to, make
strong campaign. He is a fluent
speaker, and will certainly arouse the
enthusiasm of the people.
1t is to be regretted that misunder-
standings have arisen between the
Populist and Democratic Congression-
al committees, and we hope fusion
and an agreement on one candidate
will prevail.
The platform adopted re-affirms the
Kansas City platform, declares for
the initiative and referendum, public
ownership of public utilities, placing
of trust made goods on the free list,
election of u. S. Senators by vote of
the people, and in-favor of organized
labor.

A VERY FINE MUM MMY.
Body of Priest Unearthed After Four
Thousand Years.

The German Oriental society has
been most successful in it's explora.
tions at AbuSir in Egypt, and most
Interesting finds" were distributed
among the Berlin museums during the
month of October. One of the most
important discoveries was a perfectly
preserved mummy of Jen EN- Jechvet,
the high priest of the temple, who
died about 1000 years before Christ.
The body was found in a family vault,
which also contained the remains of
his priest and reader and their wives.
Only three tombs of such an age have
been found in good preservation dur
ing the last century, and this is the
first time that the contents have been
brought safely to Europe. Jen lay in
his coffin enveloped in brown linen
shroud, just as he had been placed
there 1000 years ago. In accordance
with the fashion of the time, he has
small side whiskers, and longer tuft
appear unnaturally long by means of
the careful application of rouge. The
wig, which is large and parted down
the middle, has a blush tint verging
on green, and must originally have
been the color of lapis lazuii, in imita-
tion of the hair worn by Egyptian
gods. The mummy was lying slightly
on the left side, as Egyptians sleep to-
day, and the head rested on sup
port such as is still in use in the
Soudan. The eyes are turned toward
the rising sun. Two staffs were found
beside the body, and little wooden
statue.
