Died at Cook HOSPITAL.

Miss Lulu Loar, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lawson L. Loar, of Grafton,
died at Cooks Hospital yesterday af-
ternoon of appendicitis. She was
brought to the hospital little over a
week ago and operated on. A second
operation had to be performed We'd
nesday. and this, of course. was great
ly against the chance of recovery.
When first operated on the little girl
was found to be suffering from one of
the worst cases of appendicitis ever
operated on in this well known hos
pital. and while everything possible
has been accomplished by the most
eminent physicians and surgeons of
this and adjoining States the case
seems to be one that baftIed their
most skilled efforts. Mr. and Mrs.
Loar were with their daughter from
the time she was first brought to the
hospital, and Wednesday evening, in
response to call from the bedside of
the patient, the children, accompanied
by their aunt, Miss Lucy Wright, of
keyser, and their uncle, Mr. George
Loar, of Grafton, came here and re-
NAMED until she died. She was Il
years old and one of the most prom
inent young people of Grafton. The
remains were shipped to that place
last evening.

PARKER WATCHED
THE BULLETINS
ASSUMED AN AIR OF INTEREST
IN NEW RAILROAD, BUT
KEPT EYES ON ST.
LOUIS.

ESOPUS, N. Y, July THE pros
5pect of a new railroad station at ESQ
pus outweighed the doings of the
Democratic national convention in the
mind of Judge Alton B. Parker, if one
mi ght judge from his conversation
1t is a fact, however, that he watched
the bulletins telephoned to his home
from Kingston to-day with an interest
which even his extraordinary calm
demeanor could not quite conceal.
Division Superintendent ChriStieS,
of the Dest Shore Railroad, stopped
at Esopus this afternoon and definite
ly announced that Esopus would have
a fine new station within two weeks.
He admitted that the probability of
Judge Parker's nomination had good
deal to do with hurrying the work on
the station.
Judge Parker last night discussed
the new station, but maintained his
usual reserve when politics was men
toned.

THINGS ARE QUIETING DOWN
NOW AND CONCESSION is
ORDER OF THE DAY.
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN is
STILL THE HERO OF DE-
MOCRACY.

ST. LOUIS, July s.-Alton B. Par
ker, of New York, will be nominated
for President of the United States
by the Democratic convention, either
tonight or tomorrow morning. At
tonight platform signed by every
member of the resolutions commit,
tee, including David B. Hill, the leader
of the conservatives and w. J. Bry-
an, the leader of the radicals, Will be
reported and adopted.
The platform Will neither repudiate
nor rea firm any former principle of
the Democratic party. No reference
viii be made either to the Kansas
City or Chicago platforms
The money question will not be
mentioned. There will be a tariff re-
vision plank and strong antitrust
plank.
Bryan will not bolt the ticket
In fact it would not be surprising
if he would announce to the conven-
ton that he will support it.
He told Scripps-McRae man to-day
that he would stand on the platform
as agreed upon.
''It is not just what we (meaning
the radicals) wanted he said, "but
it is the best we could get"
The fact is that Bryan got good
deal more than the conservatives
wanted to give him, and a good deal
more than anybody expected he would
get
The conservatives came here saying
that Bryan was dead one, and that
they would give the corpse as decent
a burial as was possible in hurry.
To their dismay they found that the
man from Nebraska was the liveliest
corpse on record, and that he was far
and: away 'the most popular delegate
at the convention. The remarkable
demonstration given him at yester-
days session gave the conservative
leaders a pause. They not only want
to nominate Parker, but they also
want to elect him, and David B. Hill
was far too shrewd a politician to
ALLEVIATE from his candidate the Bry-
an strength. The figure of Bryan
1oomed larger than ever and concilia-
tion took the place of determination
as the watchword Of the conservatives.
The result of the battle in the reso-
lutions committee in which Bryan
forced hostile majority to leave
a gold plank out of the platform show
ed his remarkable power over men.
Parker will be the standard-bearer
of the Democratic party this fall, but
Bryan is the hero of the party and his
praises are on the lips of friend and
foe alike

SOME ETH|NG. MUST
BE DONE AT ONCE
OR MARION COUNTY MAY BEiN-
TESTED WITH THE DREAD
SMALLPOX CONTAGION.
THE TIME FOR ACTION is AT
HAND AS WE CAN TAKE
NO RISKS.

The necessary precautions, we fear,
are not being taken in regard to
smallpox in this county. First, the
disease broke out at Monongah, and
we got one case from there. From
Fairview we received another case
few days ago. Warrington got one
how many we will get because of the
immense gathering on the Fourth, but
if we believe the following story, and
it comes from reliable people, which
was told the writer this morning, we
are almost certain of another case.
We do not refrain from the use of
the names of the parties because, if
true, something should be done.
It seems that the family of Koon
Toothman, of Fairview, was exposed
to the smallpox patients at the Statler
home. The family was placed under
quarantine, and Sunday, July 3, the
quarantine was lifted, all danger
thought to be past. July 4, Art Vim
cent, of Fairmont, went to Fairview
and brought Miss Francis Toothman,
member of this family, to this city.
While here they stopped at the Ma
rietta Hotel. In the afternoon they
went to Traction Park, where some
spots were noticed on the lady's face,
but nothing was thought of the mat
ter. Monday evening the couple drove
back to Fairview. Tuesday morning
Miss Toothman was taken to the pest
house, afflicted with smallpox. Miss
Toothman is a half sister of Mrs. J.
S. Morris, of the Fifth ward but did
not visit that home while here.
Mr.. Vincent is running at large in
our city, liable to take the disease.
The matter should be investigated and
the proper steps taken by the authori-
ties. If this kind of thing is going to
be kept up. it would be well for us to
quarantine against both Monongah
and Fairview. If this had been done
in the first place, the chances are
that we would not be nursing two
cases of the disease with the chances
of having a dozen more as soon as
they have time to develop.

What the Archbishop of Manila Says.

Rev. ]. ]. Harty, Archbishop Of Manila.
declares that he frankly favors the cleo
tion Of Theodore Roosevelt to the presi-
dency of the United States. The arch
bishop, who has just completed an ex-
tensive tour of the Philippines within
his ecclesiastical jurisdiction, was every
where received affectionately, thousands
of persons fiocking TO greet him and
bringing children for confirmation in great
er numbers than ever before known in the
history of the insular church. He stated,
in referring TO the situation there, that
Aglipayism had been routed and the au-
thority of the Church of Rome re-estab-
lished thoroughly. He added that the in
surrection was dead and that the inde-
pendent church or Agilpayism, being in
surrection under clerical cloak, was also
dead.
Continuing, the archbishop said: Il was
impressed during my journeyings by the
progress of American institutions among
the masses OF the people, the general hap
piness, the security of person and prop
erty and the supremacy OF order and JUS
tice. I believe that under Divine guild
ance the benehcent rule of America is
destined TO ultimately place the Christian
Malay race on a moral and political plane
that as yet has never been attained by
an Oriental people. This task that the
Americans have assumed they cannot
shirk or abandon. This work that Gov
ernor Taft so auspiciously began and
that Governor Wright continues must be
carried 10 a triumphant conclusion"
Perhaps Archbishop Harty who has
lived among the people. travelled alone
unguarded even in the remote provinces,
who has inspected parishes and visited
people in their own homes, may be as
we'll qualified to judge of conditions in
the islands as the coterie OF stay-at-
home anti-imperialists, who stayed at
home during the civil war and who have
repeated their tactics while kicking
against the administrations of recent
years.
