The money realized from the
sale of the state bonds authorized
by the last Legislature amounting
to $500, 900 has been paid into the
state treasury by the Chicago firm,
and the embarrassment caused by
the treasury deficit has been rellev-
ed. In a card explaining the causes
of the delay in getting the money,
Gov. Vardaman exposes some
rather low methods by unknown
persons in the state to discredit
the state and her officials which
had its effect upon the firm who
had bid on the bonds. When this
rottenness was exposed the firm
very promptly paid over the money.
Col. w. B. Montgomery one of
the foremost men and planters in

ALEXANDRIA NEWS NOTES.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, July PA SEN
sational meeting OF the police board took
place last night to investigate why Po-
Icemen Lyles and Arlington, upon re
ceiving a statement from Henry Wrenn
that he had purchased stolen goods and
had them in his possession. did not at
once communicate that fact 10 their
superior officers. but concealed il while
the lieutenant and other policemen made
a search of Wrenn's place, and Police
men Smith and Allen afterward stopped
a wagon in which Wrenn was carrying
the stolen goods down Prince Street
with the intent, he said, Of conveying
them 70 the station house.
Lyles and Arlington claimed that as
they were entitled 10 the credit Of max
ing the discovery. and Wrenn had prom
Used 10 deliver the goods at the station
house that night. they were under no
obligation to make known their knOwl-
edge. as the public interest would I'm
no wise suffer from the cOncealment.
An especially sensational incident Of
the investigation was the bringing Of
Wrenn from jail where he is serving a
sentence for receiving stolen goods and
allowing him 10 testify. He did so in a
sort Of speech In which he criticised the
course Of Commemorative Attorney
Brent, who had convicted him, and point
cd out that Mr.. Brent has blamed Lyles
and Arlington and commended Smith
and Allen when Lyles and Arlington
had never drunk beer in his place while
smith and Allen had often done so and
Smith had gone with him and Burnett
10 Washington ana got so drunk there
that they were obliged 20 hurry him &c
the car 10 keep him from being arrested
IN Washington.
What do you say 10 this, Sergeant
SMITH said the Mayor. 1T IS always
the way when ] convict a thief he pro-
ceeds 10 rail at me IN this way. said
smith. There IS not one word Of truth
IN IT,"
What do you say, Mr.. Burnett, as 20

Cheering for Roosevelt Lasted Over a Half Hour
The Finish Of the Gathering Rapid

Chicago, June 23.-The republican
national convention this afternoon
nominated Theodore Roosevelt, of
New York, for president, and Sena-
tor G. w. Fairbanks, of Indiana, for
vice president, for the term commenc-
ing March 5, 1905. Roosevelt was
nominated by unanimous vote at 1 :16
p. M, and Fairbanks was nominated
by acclamation at 2:04. The conven-
ton adjourned sin die at 2:25.
Half an hour before the time set for
the opening of the convention there
were as many visitors in the galleries
as witnessed the entire opening ses-
sion.
Cheers greeted the arrival of Chair
man Cannon upon the stage and the
band struck up the national hymn.
This was the signal for the conven-
ton to rise, and the New York del
egation was conspicuous, each of it's
members waving an American flag.
Ex-Governor Black of New York
nominated Theodore Roosevelt for
president. Like the crash of thunder
that follows the lightning, the enthusi-
asm began. Flags were in the air,
hats were thrown up, men jumped
onto their chairs, women stood and
shouted. So mighty was the volume
Of sound that nothing definite in the
