While herding cattle, Harvey, the
S-year-old son of Henry FELTON,, a
ranchman who lives at Iona, was bit

hardest kind of work, extending over
a period of about twenty-four hours,
was his life saved.
The deadly fangs of the snake en-
tered one of the boys legs below the,
knee. At the time the lads father
was attending court at Gacoma, many
miles distant, and was telephoned to,
and instructed to bring a physician.
A doctor could not be found and
the father was compelled to drive to,
his home without one. The boys.

applied such remedies as We're known
to them.
The boy was kept under the infu-

the wound largely by applying pieces
of freshly-killed chickens.

st. Louis, July 1O.-Ex-Senator Hen

Democratic national convention at
LIB o'clock this morning. The con-
vention adjourned at 1880.
The democratic national convention
did not go into session promptly at the
time appointed, although the greater
number Of delegates. and altersates
were in their seats, keyed up to a high
pitch of excitement over the possible
event of the night.
The news that there would in all

All Night Session.

The convention was in session from
eight O'Clock Friday night until nearly
six o'clock Saturday morning. In that
time eight names were presented to
the convention. Nominating and sec
onding speeches innumerable were
made, and as dawn appeared it became
necessary to limit the %seconding
speeches to four minutes each. An
extension made in the case OF
William Jennings Bryan, who, in one
of the most dramatic situations ever.
witnessed in a political gathering, adj
dressed the convention, and concluded
by seGonding the nomination of Sena.
tor Francis M. Cockreli, THE faVohrite
o n candidate from Missouri. Mr..
Bryan received the third great oya-
ton accorded during the convention.
His speech was an impassioned APP
peal to the delegates to give the par
ty a candidate who had voted for 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 q triumph for one
faction over another. He suggested
Hearst, then Former Gov. Pattison, OF
Pennsylvania, and finally created q
surprise in the convention by declar-
ing for Senator Cockrell.

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

Fewer than half Of the delegates tc
the populist national convention at
Springfield, ILL.,, answered to roll call.
Oliver w. Stewart, chairman of the
prohibition national committee. made
a statement positively denying that DR..
Silas G. Swallow had declined the pro-
hibition nomination for president.
The democratic national convention
opened in st. Louis. listened to an ex-
tended speech from Representative John
Sharp Williams, its temporary chair
man, appointed the committees neces-
sary to perfect a permanent organiza-
ton. and took a recess. When Mr.. Will
liams mentioned in his speech the name
of Grover Cleveland the convention
cheered in a most enthusiastic name
the demonstration lasting for eight min
ntes.
The republican party celebrated the
fiftieth anniversary of birth under the
oaks at Jackson, Mich. Secretary Hay
dlivered the chief address.
The. second days session of the demo-
cratic national convention selected Hon.
Champ Clark. of Missouri, as permanent
chairman. Reports of the committees
on rules, credentials and permanent or
ganization were adopted. The feature of
the session was Mr. Bryan's effort to
overthrow the report of the credentials
committee and seat contesting delegates
Q Illinois. The controversy was end,
ed by the rejection of the minority re-
port OF the committee by a vote Of SAT
nays to 2s9 ayes. Mr.. Bryan was the re-
clplent OF the most remarkable demon
stration ever given to any one man.

Neglected by Dowie.

Miss Martha Bowker of Mitchell.
was taken to the Yankton insane
asylum. Miss Bowker for a number
of years has been associated with.
John Alexander Dowie at Zion City,,
H., and her deep religious feeling has:
caused her to become demented.
When her insanity was apparent to.
the Dowie people they placed her in
charge of an attendant and sent her.
to her family here. The family was.
unable to keep the woman and so,
notified Dowie's officials, but they
paid no attention to the matter.
When Miss Bowker joined the Dow
lie religious campaign she had some.
money that went to the general fund
and when she sent home there
was no money on her person.

lished at Leslie, sixty miles north

Last week L. Squirting cut his al
falfa for the first time since it was.
sown. 1t was sown last year and the
field was a fine one, the hay being
three feet high and thick on the.
ground. The only regret he has is
that he has not more of it. The field,
was the first sown in this part of the,
country, though a number of others.
have own fields of it since then. This.
is certainly proof enough that this
hay crop cal be raised here. and with
two crops a year it is a valuable prod.
