declaration against polygamy than against declaration of bigamy. Senator Shoot thinks that any declaration on the sub ject would be used to his advantage in the senate. Also, 1t is felt that the prop osition that any declaration might mate rially injure the republicans in several states where there is a large Mormon vote
 Several other suggestions not now con- tained in the prepared draft of the plat form will be made. One of these declares for international arbitration. Another urging that the interstate commerce commission be given more power to en- force it's decisions, will be offered The territories are in a turmoil about the declaration as to admission: New Mexico and some Oklahom men want a declara- ton in favor of the bill which has passed the house and is pending in the senate providing for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as one state and Okla homa and Indian Territory as another.

 No action was taken at the caucus of the Kansas delegation beyond organiz- ing. Such questions as the vice presi- dency and the platform were not con sidered, but will come up at another caucus to be held tomorrow.

 Resolutions thanking R. B. Hawley for his services as national committeeman were passed by the Texas delegation.
 While no formal action was taken by the Utah delegation on the question, the members will oppose any insertion or re- ference to the Mormon question in the platform.

ALABAMIANS GET
 MANY GOOD PLACES
CHARLES H. SCOTT OF MoNTGoM- FRY IS UNANIMOUSLY SELECT ED FOR NATIONAL COMMITTEE. MAN WITHOUT A RIPPLE.

Chicago, June 20.-(Special )-Senator Fairbanks of Indiana. will accept the nomination for Vice President if the place Is rendered him by the republican convention and there seems to be little doubt now about his nomination although some of the eastern men are fighting him. The Alabama delegation to the conven- tion paid respects to Senator Fairbanks at the Auditorium annex last night and was courteously received A member of the delegation called upon the senator today and was personally assured that MT. Fairbanks will accept. The member was asked how the Alabama delegation stood on-the proposition. The delegates from Alabama are a unit in favoring the nomination of the distinguished senator from the Hoosier state and mutual un- derstanding has been reached in the mat ter.
 The delegation held caucus at the Hotel Metropole ..Is afternoon and the most striking thing about 1t was the ap- parent harmony in spite of the fact that there have recently been dissentions.
 Charles H. Scott of Montgomery was unanimously selected for national com mitteeman without a ripple. Oscar R. Hundley was elected chairman of the de- egation. Dr. J. w. Hughes received distinct compliment by being selected as honorary vice president of the conven- ton from Alabama. J. W. Davidson who is by the way the only representative of the genuine original lily white faction on the delegation was given the place on committee on rules and order of business. Referee J. O. Thompson is to be on the committee to notify the nominee for President of the action taken by the con- vention.
 L. Bryan of Montgomery was chosen as member to notify the Vice President of the conventions action.
 The Alabama members of the commit tee on credentials will be Nathan H. Alexander of Montgomery; A. N. John son, negro of Mobile is to be on the committee on platform and resolutions. Alabama will be represented on the com mittee on permanet organization by G. B. Dean of Mobile. The whole caucus lasted less than an hour All of the members of the delegation are well.

I INcURABLE" HEART DISEASE
SOON CURED.

During the last two or three years
very great Improvement has been made
in the treatment of diseases of the
heart Cases formerly considered in
durable now rapidly yield to new REM
edies. The well-knoWn specialist,
Franklin Miles, M. D., LII. b., will
send $3.75 worth of his new Special
Treatment free to our afflicted readers.
This liberal offer is for the purpose
of demonstrating the unusual curative
powers of his new Treatment for heart
troubles, such as short breath, pain in
the side, oppression in the chest, irreg-
ular pulse, palpitation, smothering
spells, putting of the ankles or dropsy.
They are the result of twenty-five
years of careful study extensive re-
search, and remarkable experience in
treating diseases of the heart, stomach.
liver, kidneys and nerves, which often
complicate each case.
The Treatments are prepared ex-
pressly for each patient, as the result
is very much more certain and satis-
factory.
Few physicians have such confidence
in their remedies. And there is no rea-
son why all afflicted persons should
not avail themselves OF this liberal of
fer. No death comes more suddenly
than that from heart disease. Thou

cause most physicians do not UNDER

Every demand it makes has been ap-

Wherever populist is found,
whether in Maine or Texas, Oregon or
Florida, he believes in, supports and
works for the enactment of these prin-
ciples into law These are the doctrines
proclaimed in the Springfield platform
and are held to be true, not only by
members OF the peoples party, but by
hundreds of thousands belonging to
other parties In many communities,
they have in great part been enacted
into law. so far as minor divisions of
government could enact them
We look forward with confidence to
the coming of the time, not far in the
distance, when these principles shall
guide the rulers of this nation. The
adherents of the peoples party come
from all classes. wherever a man is
found who loves mankind and believes
tndt governments are instituted among
men, nol for the purpose of enabling
a few TO gather gold and pile it up
mountain high, but for the purpose Of
advancing the human race, bringing
gladness to the hearts of all the peo-
pie, enabling them through the de-
velopment Of the mind to enjoy the
delights of the intellectual world and
lay up treasures that all the cycles Of
time can not cOrr0de. To this work
more than million men have conse-
Grated themselves. They are found
among the wealthy and in the ranks Of
the prOietariat, among the professional
classes and among the wage earners.
wherever heart yearns to see our
mountains and valleys, our cities and
plains inhabited by people whose
heads are clear, whose hearts are low
ing and whose hands are adept at all
things useful. They seek not the adj
vantage OF one class, but of all classes.
They believe that the principles enun-
ciated in our platform will furnish
foundation for the building up Of such
a nation and such a people.

Manager Was Deeply Touched"

Philadelphia Record.
A man in high shipping circles
tells an amusing story at the expense
of the president of local shipbulld-
ing company who is fnancier rath-
er than a practical shipbuilder. One
of the men intimately connected with
his office came into possession OF
a hollow steel cane, which a New
York firm got out some time since to
advertise certain tubing, and a
number of them conceived the idea
of presenting this cane to the presl-
dent along with speech in which it
was to be described as part Of the
shaft of the first ship built by the
company and offered as slight tes-
timonial of good will and affection
by the company assembled. The
favored fnancier was naturally deeply
touched-more deeply than ne real
lied. After gracefully expressing
his thanks in a neat speech he OPEN
ed champagne by the case. Before
retiring the spokesman of the party
said that unfortunately the cane had
no ferrule and begged permission to
have one put on. The magnate
cheerfully acquiesced. A week later
the entire delegation again appeared
with the cane plus ferrule. Again
the compliments of the occasion
were exchanged to the accompani-
ment of popping corks. During the
festivities the handle came loose and
the liberal donors simply insisted
upon taking it away for repairs.
When this thirsty crowd appeared
the same program was carried out.
But when they suggested taking it
away again to be properly engraved
the recipient said "Nay, nay" he pre-
ferred to economic by paying for
it himself.

In the Great Western Wheat Belt.

One square mile Of wheat. Ever
see it? Transcontinental trains
used to stop in the Smoky Hill val
lev of Kansas to allow passengers
view of such a wonder. 1t realized
all the travellers dreams of agricul-
tural splendor. Hundreds such
visions now mark the great grain
area of the plains, but their beauty
is none the less. Six hundred and
forty acres of wealth.! 1t shimmered
beneath the perfect opalescent blue
of the sky, the tall straws bending
with their weight of grain. Standing
on the seat of the reaper one might
see in the distance a gllmmer OF
green pastures and catch glimpses
of rustling filds of corn, but here was
the heart of summer.

Southern Moss.
Globe Democrat.

ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
Poets have written fetchingly about
the long gray festoons Of Spanish
n,oss; word painters have told how
it seemed to mourn over the solitary
graves in south >rn woodland, tour
lists have strained after sentimental
phrases to express the feelings the
sight of great oaks draped with 1t
has awakened in their bosoms, but
down in the country where it grows
they stuff horse collars with it.
The sweeping moss of the south
ern forest is linked with commerce. It
fills mattresses for beds and cushions
for buggies. 1t is useful for packing
and it is gathered as any other crop
is gathered by people who are paid
by the day. Moss is ginned as cot
on is ginned; the outer cuticle Of the
fibre is removed and leaves it much
like horse hair. 1t is then good for
anything that needs stufhng.
In Louisiana instead Of merely a
detail of swamp scenery, it is the ba-
sis of an industry. Bales OF it are
shown as part of the Louisiana fores-
Try display.
1t still waves in the gulf breezes
where it is unmolested, and the mock
ing bird, perhaps. wells itself from the
moonlight behind it as it thrills OUT
it's full notes to its mates; it still
gives that funereal aspect to the
banks of hundred of miles of bayous
and makes distinct from any other
landscape in the world the scenery of
ou1 southern states, but the utilitar-
ian eye, sees in it only so many bales
at 50 much per bale, f. o. b., delivered
al northern furniture factories.

Money Dating From Ninth Century.

English Country Life
That money, in the form of coin,
should be comparatively recent in
-vention, if we may use the word,
seems too odd to be true. But we
are reminded of the fact by the news
sent from Turkey in Asia that a
German archaeologist has just OBJ
tanned the oldest coin in existence,
which only dates from the ninth CEN
tury before the Christian era.
Tt was from the mint, if the ex-
preston may be used Of such an early
date, of an Aramean king of Schamol.
This oldest known coin is, we believe,
about twelve centuries older than the
Oldest existing book. But coins, be-
ing made Of precious metal, are enor-
mous1y durable Some Of the ear
liest and best coins of the Mediter-
raneon basin on the Hellespont, and
probably the oldest existing piece OF
metal work in which date is known
is the tripod, made to celebrate the
victory of Plataea by the Greeks over
the Persians. The golden ball which
1t supported is gone. But the tripod
Itself, designed to initiate twisted
-serpents, is still kept in the mosque
- Of St. Sophia at Constantinople.
