NOMINATION.

gov Yates Broke the DeadIOcIx-He
Combined with Deneen, Sherman,
uamIin and Observation-Disclosures
was Irresistible and Secured the
nomination of Deneen for Gov
ernOr by N Big Lead-The Nominal
ZION Was Then Made Unanimous.
Springfield, Ill.,. June By making
a combination with Charles S. Deneen,
: Y. Sherman. Rowland j. Hamlin
ond John H. Pierce, Gov. Yates to-day
broke the deadlock in the Republican
etate convention and brought about the
domination of Deneen for Governor.
The nomination was made on the sew
eptv-ninth ballot which stood: Yates
I. Lowden, 52215; Deneen, 9o719; War
rer, 81.
The combination was the result of a
mries of conferences held last night
and this morning. which were partic-
mated in by Yates, Deneen, Hamlin,
Sherman and Pierce. The agreement
bad not been consummated when the
convention met at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. ana the aus anu l)C1iCOlL pCOpiC
forced a recess until p. m. Then the
narties to the combination met and
finally agreed upon Deneen as the can
didate. When the convention recon-
vened Yates. Hamliu and Sherman
withdrew their names from the consid-
Grafton of the delegates and urged their
friends to vote for Deneen.

was ordered and Adams county led off
with lone vote for Yates and nineteen
for Deneen," the widest excitement
prevailed AS the call proceeded it be-
came evident that the new combination
in Illinois politics would win, but the
original Lowden men for the most part
remained firm and went to defeat with
him.
When the call was completed Low
den moved to make the nomination
unanimous and Chairman Canyon de-
clared the motion carried. All the
pent-up enthusiasm of the delegates
manifested itself as Deneen came to
the platform and briefly thanked the
convention for the honor. In response
to the demands of the assemblage, Col.
Lowden made an address, pledging his
support to the ticket.
The convention then took up the
nomination of a candidate for lieu
tenant governor, but the leaders of the
new combination were not prepared
for this and a recess was taken until
p. m.
At the evening session, the making
up of the ticket was rapidly proceeded
with. L. Y. Sherman, of Middleburg
was nominated for Lieutenant Govern
or, James A. Rose, of Golconda (pres-

MACK,s LUCK.
The Young Woman Reporters Story.

The following food tale, written by
a clever young newspaper woman, is
a true story that came under her
personal observation:
81 have been with the Ia pa
per in a California town for nine
years and Mac has been with us all
that time, and I do not know how
much longer Macs full name is Mac
Clellan. Before the linotypes came in
he was a good printer, and was one
of the first to learn the machine, and
is now, at about the age of AZ, one
of our very fastest operators.
Last winter and the winter before
Mac. probably from constant night
work and improper food, got badly
run down, could not eat much, what
little he did eat did not do him much
good and he always complained he
could not keep warm.
II missed him for awhile until yes
terday 1 overlook him on the street
going toward the office, and hardly
knew the man; had it not been for
the familiar walk should surely have
passed without recognizing him. He
was stout his face was round and
ruddy and his eyes bright as l had
never seen them before.
IT said, Mac, I hardly knew you;
what on earth have you been doing
to get so fat?' He replied. Grape
Nuts, nothing else. / started in on
Grape Nuts food three months ago
when l weighed 1875, and was feeling
miserable, but now l weigh 100 and
feel better than / ever felt In my life.
1 quit my old diet and went on Grape
Nuts, and that's the whole story
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
Exercise is necessary, but there's no
nourishment in it and proper food
alone can supply that. Grape Nuts
for ten days Is a pleasant trial and
proves big things.
There's a reason.

GUS little book, The Road to Well

Washington, Nov. 4.-Mr. Snyder,
the American charge at Bogota, cabled
the state department during the day
that President Castro of Venezuela
had issued an order again closing the
navigation of the river Zuba. This
stream affords access to the interior Of
Colombia and it's closing before by
President Castro almost involved Co
lombia and Venezuela in war. This
last action is taken to mean that the
good understanding which was report
ed between Castro and Marroquin
nearly year ago has not been pre-
served under the accession Of the
presidency of Colombia Of General
Reyes and friction between the two
countries is expected to develop.
There have been rumors for some time
past of considerable agitation in
Venezuela looking to revolution di-
rected against Castro and it is sur
missed that he closed the navigation of
the river to prevent arms and ammuni
tion from reaching the would-be revo-
