| favorite son candidates. The Nebras-
kan gained recognition soon after the
Coclrell nomination, and in a speech
directed to an effort to defeat Parker,
made his elech flying plea for the anti
Parker forces to rally. He was given
the closest attention. The great con-
vention which the police and sergeant
alarms were powerless to control, list
ened as though every word were a per-
sonal message to each person, as if
hypnotic spell had been cast over the
thrOng. But when it was all over, the
Parker forces had not been shaken.
The ballot for president gave Parker
65S votes out of the 667 needed to
nominate, and before the result could
be announced. Idaho, Nevada, Wash
ington and others made changes to the
Parker column. Gov. Dockery of Mis-
souri, moved to make The nomination
unanimous and it carried, amidst in
creasing cheering. The result of the
ballot was never announced officially
and it is not likely that it ever will
be.
The convention took a recess yester-
day until eight o'clock last night for

THE THIRD DAY.
Morning Session.

ST. Louis, July 9.-The Democratic
national convention spent the morning
waiting for the report of the commit
tee on resolutions. A committee was
appointed by Chairman Champ Clark
to call on the resolutions committee
and learn when the platform would
be submitted to the convention. Just
before the noon hour the conventions
emissaries announced that the resolu-
tons committee would require until
eight o'clock to prepare its report, but
that the action of the committee would
be unanimous, and a platform submit
ted which, he declared would bring the
party a glorious victory"
The convention then took a recess
until eight o'clock. Chairman Clark
had TIE convention in hand from the
moment proceedings opened. He an
rounced, through a strong-voiced as
sistant, that the first person raising
row would be thrown out by the po-
lice" After the committee had been
dispatched to learn the pleasure of the
resolutions committee, the band gave
a concert of popular and patriotic Sc
lections Bourke Cochran was called
for to address the convention, but he
was not present. Former Senator
Charles A. Towne was next invited to
take the platform but declined. Capt.
Richmond Pearson Hobson was the
next choice.
Mr. Hobson accepted the invitation,
and, in a few moments, made his way
from the Alabama delegation to the
platform. He was greeted with round
of applause and the usual cries of
Louder" Whel chad uttered but a

eight names were presented to the con-
vention. Nominating and seconding
speeches innumerable were made, and
as dawn approached it became neces-
sary to limit the seconding speeches
to four minutes each. An exception
was made in the case of William Jen-
nings Bryan, who, in one of the most
dramatic situations ever witnessed in
a political gathering addressed the con-
vention and concluded by seconding
the nomination of Senator Francis NJ.
CockreH, "the favorite son" candidate
from Missouri. Mr.. Bryan received the
third great ovation accorded during the
convention. His speech was an impas-
stoned appeal to the delegates to give
the party a candidate who had voted
the democratic ticket in 1896 and 1900.
He spoke on behalf of the Nebraska
delegation, which he said had no can
didate to present or favors to ask, but
wanted a.candidate whose nomination
would not prove triumph for one
faction over another. He suggested
Hearst, if the convention thought best,
then former Gov Pattison, of Pennsyl-
yania, and finally created surprise in
the convention by declaring for Sena-
tor Cockrell.
One of the features of the long
drawn-out session had been the beauti-
full tribute paid to Senator Cockrell
when his name was placed in nomina-
ton by Representative Champ Clark.
1t was q spontaneous outburst, and for
that reason the more complimentary to
the senator. The delegates already
weary by reason of the tedious and try
ing session, paused in their labors, and
in the guise of a nomination for the
presidency which the senator's friends
knew to be beyond his reach, INDUCED
in a demonstration, continuing nearly
half an hour. Nearly every delegate
and spectator in the galleries or on the
floor had been provided with a flag and
the scene was far the most impressive
Of all the ovations given during the
session.
The thousands Of cheering persons
apparently converted Mr.. Bryan to the
belief that Senator Cockrell's chances
CT nomination were greater than other

THE FOURTH DAY.
Afternoon Session.

st. Louis, July 9.-The effect of last
nights protracted and harassing ses-
sion was plainly evident when the
hour arrived to which the recess had
! been taken. Chairman Clark was not
! present. Not over three hundred del
| egates were in their seats and the gal
| leries showed more empty chairs than
visitors. The pyrotechnics were over,
the red fire dying out, the curtain was
about to descend and the general in
! terest in the proceedings was compare
! lively gone.
For the first time since the conven-
toned opened it vas possible to walk
the aisles without treading upon the
feet of other people and fighting for
a passageway. The chairman arrived
at fifteen minutes after two. o'clock,
and that incident. which heretofore
has been the signal for applause, was
entirely unnoticed.
The prominent men in the party
were conspicuous by their absence.
Hill was in conference at the South
ern hotel trying to settle upon the
nominee for the vice-presidency- Col.
Guffey, of Pennsylvania; Hopkins, of
Illinois; Daniel, of Virginia, and nu-
merous others were absent long after
the hour set for the commencement of
the days work.
Chairman Clark resumed the gavel.
and at 2:4S O'Clock, began his effort
to call the convention to order. Be-
fore the formal opening of the session,
the band was signaied for tune, as
many delegates began to arrive, max
ing too much confusion for the chair
to be heard The rumOr of a recess
had spread, and everyone was anxious
to know the procedure. The delay con-
tinued, however, waiting for word
from the vice-presidential conference
at the Southern hotel. The band was
utilized again for entertainment, and
got a rousing cheer as it struck up
Dixie
Rev. John T. NJ. Johnson, pastor of
the Delmar Avenue Baptist church,
was introduced and pronounced the
invocation.
Gov. Dockery was recognized at the
conclusion of the prayer and read

platform. The telegram was from
William R Hearst thanking his friends
for their support and indorsing the

applauded.

few words. He complied promptly
with the request and revealed the best
and strongest voice thus far heard in
the convention. What president has
been brave enough to enforce the law
against the labor union violator of law.
1t was democratic president" he said,
and applause greeted the assertion.
He passed on to the color question and
declared that if when the black, or yell

suicide, it must remain absolutely dis

He urged the men of the west and
north to refrain from depressing the
south by advocating anything that
tended to obliterate the racial lines.
He deprecated the fact that in the re-
publican convention not one man had
risen to speak againsl the plank in that
party's platform which urged reduction
of southern representation in congress
because of alleged Acknowledgement of
voters in the south.

test were surrounded by friends and
heartily congratulated. Among these
were David B. Hill, of New York, who
has been in actual charge OF Judge
Parker's campaign. He laughed and
cried alternately.
In a section of the hall sat Mrs. Hall,
daughter of Judge Parker. With par
ty of friends she remained throughout
the night. She showed her happiness
with tears.
Mr.. Bryan left the convention hall a
few minutes before the nomination
was made unanimous, but not before
he knew that Judge Parker was nomi-
mated. To several correspondents who
were waiting for him at his hotel he
said that he had nothing to add to
what he had said in the convention.
which was that he would support any
candidate nominated on the platform
he had assisted in making.

men and to the democracy, in your ST.

The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1904-07-15

ST. Louis, July 1.-THE facts con-
nected with the past history of Mrs.
NJ K Dantes, a fashionably- dressed
woman, who was found dead in her
room at the Hotel Milton, Eighteenth
and Chestnut streets, Sunday, are
mystery, which SO far remains I'M
solved. She was registered at the no.
tel as Mrs NJ. Smith, of New York, as
she had been known in st. Louis for
four months. She died, believing she
had been successful in concea1ing her
true name from the public, but inves-
tigation has disclosed it. Nothing is
known of her life before she came to
st. Louis.
On the floor beside the bed were
found two bottles, both empty. One
without labels. One had contained
cologne spirits and the other alcohol.
Her real name is believed to be Mrs.
NJ. X Dantes, either of New York
or Washington.
Since coming to st. Louis Mrs.
Dantes has revealed her true name to
only one person, Rev. Allen K. Smith,
rector of Christ Church cathedral. At
her request he did not divulge her
name so long as he knew her to be
alive. Upon being informed of her
death, Dr. Smith gave all information
OF the woman which he possessed. But
even from the minister, to whom she
had evidently gone while labOring un-
der a great trouble, she concealed her
past and would tell him nothing eX-
cept her name and the name of her
mother.
Called Minister.
Dr. Smith remembers to have first
seen Mrs. Daates about Easter. She
called upon him, explaining that she
was an Episcopalian and desired to
make her Easter communion. She did
so, and several times after that she
called to gain his assistance in secur-
ing a position as trained nurse. Just
how the subject came up DR.. Smith
does not remember, but he became
convinced that - NAME which she
gave him, Mrs. NJ. Smith, was not her
correct name, and he mentioned the
matter to her She admitted she was
using an assumed name, but refused to
tell the minister her correct name,
although he asked her TO do so. He
from home and friends, and that some
accident might happen to her, and
begged her to tell her name so that in
case anything of the kind did occur
he could notify her relatives
COnfded Her Name.
Then, only upon the promise that he
would keep the name a secret, she told
that her correct name was Mrs. NJ. K.
Dantes. and that her mothers name
and address was Mrs Martha Virgins,
III K street, Northwest, Washington,
D. c. DIR. Smith kept the trust sacred
until notified of her death. He then
made the names public and stated that
he would inform the woman's motfer
of her death.
When pressed by DR.. Smith for her
reasons for using the assumed name
and some facts of her past life, she re-
fused to tell anything, remarking that
she had her personal reasons for not
whiting to be known by her correct
name
DR.. Smith finally became successful
in his efforts to secure her a position,
and she took a place as nurse in the
Episcopal Orphans home, 17O1 South
Grand avenue She remained there as
nurse until few weeks ago, when
the children in the home were taken
to Arcadia, Mo, while the building
was being repaired. She accompanied
them to Arcadia, returning to st. Louis
the first part of last week.

Night Session.

St. Louis, July 10.-Chief Judge AL
ton B. Parker, of the New York state
court of appeals was nominated at
about fifteen minutes to six o'clock this
morning for president of the United
States by the democratic national con-
vention. But one roll call, and so de-
cisive was the result of that one that
contrary states began to call for rec
OgnitiOn and the ballot finally resulted
in a unanimous vote for the New York
state man. The scene was dramatic
in the extreme. Darkness had wit
messed the gathering of the democratic
hosts, while broad daylight, the sun
paling the electric light, witnessed the
close.
The convention was in session from
eight o'clock last night until nearly six

WASTE NO WATER.

Fire.

Fire.
a. A watter.of which we have been
requested to make mention and
which is of vital interest to the
town at this season Of the year is
the limitation of'the water supply
and the necessity for its conserva-
ton, as much as possible, for
emergencies. 1t is pointed out
that the weather has been very dry
Of late and the water is used so
lavishly and SO constantly for
sprinkling lawns and streets that
the reservoir is kept at very low
cbh and is actually empty at times
a condition which is alarming
when one considers the possibili-
ties of big fire on windy day.
Under these circumstance a sue
cessful fight against fire could be
assured only by less extravagant
use Of water combining street END
lawn sprinkling to the evenings,
and by every citizen considering
the general welfare OF the town,
which is otherwise endangered.
