"Mr. Chairman" called Senator Cul-

from Mr. Hit suggesting that his

ernor Frank Black of New York, who
was to deliver the nominating speech
In behalf of President Roosevelt, i'm
mediately started for the platform
amid the widest enthusiasm on the
part of the delegates.
AS Governor Black reached the desk
of Chairman Cannon he was warmly
greeted by that gentleman. There
was succession of shouts from the
convention, chorus of shrieks from
the New York delegation, paroxysnl
of tossing flags, then silence and Mr..
Black commenced his speech In be-
half OF President Roosevelt.
Governor Blacks voice, though not
heavy, carried well and increased In
volume as he got fairly under way.
His epigrams provoked laughter and
the sharply turned sentences for which
he Is noted never failed to raise q rip

A Purgative Pleasure.

II you ever took DeWitt's Little Early
kisers for billiousness or constipation

These famous little pills cleanse the
liver and rid the system of all bile with

do not gripe, sicken or weaken, but give
tone and strength to the tissues and
organs involved. w. II. Howell OF

hind, shouting, laughing and cheering.
The New York delegation, catching
sight of Henry c. Payne on the plat
form, paid him brief and especial
tribute and then returned once more
to the cheering of the candidate, shout
ing Roosevelt" Roosevelt" "Roose-
velt," New York." over and over
again.
BY this time the applause had con-
tinued for twenty-three minutes and
Chairman Cannon raped vigorously
for order. 1t required fully five min.
utes and many more raps by the chair
man and the strenuous work of nu-
merous police and sergeants-at-arms
to get the delegates once more into
their seats.
When Chairman Cannon had finally
secured order the secretary read q
history of the flag which Mr.. Cannon
had been waving. Grasping the flag

when MIR. Cannon recognized Senator
Beveridge OF Indiana, who made the
first speech seconding the nomination
of Roosevelt.
Mr.. Beveridge spoke with force and
increasing enthusiasm, emphasizing
his points with a graceful gesture with
the right hand. The senator's voice
was probably the easiest heard of any
spoken which the convention has yet
heard. Shouts, cheers and catcalls re-
sounded through the hall when the
senator sarcastically said:

Long before the senator concluded
his speech his collar was a w;itcd band

down his face. but his voice lost none
of its carrying power and his manner
none of its energy.

COLORED DELEGATE MAKES
FINAL SECONDlNG SPEECH

Harry S. Cummings, colored dele
gate from Maryland, made the last
seconding address. Mr.. Cummings
made friendly with his hearers in his
opening remark that he had been ad-
monished to be brief and intended to
obey that advice.
A real ovation was given Mr.. Cum
mings as he closed after a few min
utes. Mr., Cannon then advanced to
the front of the rostrum and announced
the roll call for nominations for presi-
dent
The clerk began calling the roll by
states. When Alabama responded
with her entire vote for Roosevelt
there was a cheer. AS the states fol-
lowed in alphabetical order and each
response ended with the words ''Theo-
dore Roosevelt" the cheer was re-
peated
An effort was made by New Jersey
to suspend further calling of the roll,
but the convention protested loudly.
Senator Platt of New York had been
on his feet to make the announcement
for his state and when his state was
called next the convention became en-
thusiastic at the announcement Texas
also got cheer as C. A. Boynton
made the announcement for Roosevelt.
Chairman Cannon announced at the
conclusion of the roll call that Theo-
dore Roosevelt had received the en-
tire vote of the convention. 994, and it
only remained for him to announce his
nomination for the presidency by the
Republican party.
The enthusiasm following the an
nouncement of the chairman was of
much briefer duration than that which
followed the first call, the cheers not
lasting over two minutes.

Ex-Governor Bradley of Kentucky
was then escorted to the platform and
introduced by Chairman Cannon. His
speech was warmly applauded.

lowed Mr.. Bradley. Mr.. Cotton has a
voice and he used it. His was another

Mr.. Hundley of Alabama, as before
on the presidential roll call, announced
that his state desired to waive its right
in favor of the state of Iowa
This meant Senator Dolliver, who
was to deliver the nominating speech
In favor of Senator Fairbanks of Indi-
ana AS the tall form of Iowa's junior
senator was seen pressing toward the
platform the cheers and shouts broke
out and they were redoubled in violence
when Chairman Cannon led forward
Senator Dolliver and spoke few
words of introduction. The first men,

the signal for cheers. which were re-
newed when he formally presented the
name of the Indiana senator. When

Mr.. Depew seconded the nomination
of Senator Fairbanks. He reviewed in

CONVENTION EXPRESSES
ITS APPRECIATION.

Senator Beveridge's concluding
words, Indiana seconds the nomina-
ton of Roosevelt" released the wait
ing cheer, the bands and the flags. 1t
was short lived, however, and order
was soon restored.
When the convention had expressed
its appreciation OF Indiana's second to
the nomination Chairman Cannon an
nounced that George A. knight OF
California would second the nomina-
ton. Mr.. knight was introduced by
Chairman Cannon. He had a voice
which penetrated the furtherest re-
cesses OF the hall and rolled back In
echoes from the arched iron roof AS
he began a voice from far end shout
ed, Not SO loud" This was touch
which the convention appreciated and
gave itself up to a hearty laugh.

FORAKER SECONDS THE
NOMINATION OF FAIRBANKS

Chairman Cannon next introduced
Senator Foraker of Ohio, whose Sec
onding speech for Senator Fairbanks
evoked a warm tribute from the con-
vention. The Ohio senator's state
ment that the Republican party had
so far done well In its convention
work and by the nomination OF Sem
ator Fairbanks would end as 1t began
put him on excellent terms with his
hearers.
Governor Pennypacker of Pennsyl-
vania followed Senator Foraker. BY
this time the hall was thinning out.
Great gaps of empty seats appeared
In the galleries that all day had been
packed. A hum of conversation per-
vaded the hall and there were ap-
parent signs OF nearing adjournment.

Governor Black pronounced the
nominating words at just 11:06 o'clock.
AS he did SO he retired quickly from
the platform. But the words, "Theo-

End of Long Law Suit

Martin Ausland has settled John
Parker's suit against him by sending
HIM a draft for something over $500,
amount of the disputed county war
rant and interest.
This case has been pending about
seven years, and which with the coun.
ter suit by Ausland against Parker,
has been knocked about from court
to court to SO great extent that only
the interested parties have kept track
OF it at all.
Ausland sold Parker a county war
rant which it was alleged Ausland
knew was no good. 1t was one issued
on artcsian we'll matters and which
the county commissioners repudiated.
Pat Henry's clerk in the Bank of
Chamberlain bought the warrant in
the first place. When Pat came into
the bank and picked it up he told the
clerk to take it out on the street and
sell it to the first man who would take
it. That mar happened to be Aus
land. Afterward Ausland took the
warrent to w. II. Mckittrtck and the
latter told him it was no good, that
the county never would pay it. Aus.
land then wrote up to Mr.. Parker, who
buys that kind of paper, and sold it to
him. AS o as Parker lear ned par
ticulars he began suit against Aus.
land to recover his money. Before
this suit could be decided Ausland
turned around and began suit against
Parker for damages to his character,
but was defeated. Ausland evidently
became tired of fighting the case and
sent a full settlement.
The suite has cost Parker and Aus
land about $1,000 each.

a Railroad Straw

Oacoma Gazette: j. c. Love, divi-
sion passenger agent of the Chicago,
Milwaukee s. st. Paul railway at
Sioux City, was out on his homestead
ten miles northwest of Williams
creek dam the Fourth. 1t is the third
time he has been out on his home
stead. He is planning On taking his
family out there IN the course Of a
couple of weeks. 1t seems rather
singular that Mr.. Love should file on
land on the Milwaukee survey, being
a way-up employee of that road. He
could never be expected to go out
there OF that lonely plain for the mere
fact OF possessing a homestead. This
lie could obtain much nearer Cham
berlain and at less cost. He must
haye something up his sleeve but no
can imagine what it is unless the
Milwaukee intends to Cross in the
near future and the coveted land may
some day be the site of a city. At
any rate it looks very much as though
the Milwaukee is meaning business.
He was accompanied by w. Right, a
former employee OF the company.
