There was a great majority of girls
in the line. Little mothers, with the
baby of the family were much in evi-
dence. One little girl, scarcely 10.
years Of age, carried in her arms .
little tired brother, while at her skirts
hung another boy scarcely six. She
had a days work before her but her
face was all smiles az she took her
place in line and started to march.
The march was too long for her. She
bravely carried her burdens from the
Inn to q point opposite the Fidelity
bank on Riverside. She swayed in
the line but kept dosgedly on. One
of the onlookers, seeing her condition,
came to her rescue and carried the
little fellow the remainder of the
journey to the cars.
Two weeping Sisters.
Two little sisters, crowded cut
of line by the larger children, at on
the curb with their arms clasped about
each other and cried out their little
hearts. They saw their visions Of ice
cream and donkey rides vanishing.
A question BY one of the marshals and
all was serene. In triumph they took
a place in the line and still ciaspine
each others waists, marched to the
cars.

Mcclellan, surrounded by a horde Of

almighty God, our help In ages
past. our hope for years to come. we
thank Thee for Thy goodness to the
people Of this land. Our sins have
been many, but Thy mercies have
been great. Thou hast poured out
Thy gifts without measure. The
opening years of new century have
been freightsd with wealth for hand
and mind and heart. Best of all Thou
art. giving Thyself In a perpetual
offering of Thy life for the life Of
man. We do not forget that in the
hour of deep sorrow when the heart
of the nation was darkened by the
murder of the nations chief there
was no break in the march of Thy
purpose, the orderly administration
of our government or the faith OF
the people In their God. Under the
guidance of Thy Holy Spirit we were
brought by our national woes nearer
to Thee. Surely Thou wilt never for
sake this people. May no dominance
of greed. no riot of passion, no weak
ening of religious conviction or en-
thronement Of matter over spirit
cause the people to forsake Thee.
May the heritage of honor coming
to us from the fathers In memories
Of noble sacrifices and valiant deeds
be at once our glad possession and
our sacred trust. While we are grate-
full for the past may we remember
that today is better than yesterday,
greater than today. Wherever our
country's flag floats as the symbol
Of government, even unto the isles
Of the sea, may we cleave to the
righteousness that exalteth a nation,
and cast out the sin that Is a re-
snroach TO any people. Save our ma
elIon. we beseech Thee, from all the
esil things which defile the home, i'm
pair civil liberty. corrupt politics, or
undermine the integrity Of COM
mercial life. Bring to naught the
schemes OF men who would debauch
or oppress human life for the graft
ncation Of lust or for personal en-
richment or power. May exaltation
come only to men who dispiise the
gain of expressions and shake the
hands from holding all bribes. May
all sections and races. all creeds and
sentiments, all occupations and In
terests become united through the
Spirit OF the Highest into a citizen
ship with a passion for righteous
ness, wherein each Individual shall
look up to God as the Father of all
and upon every man as a brother.
I'VE pray Thee to overrule the de-
alterations. conclusions and Issues of
this convention for the good of the
American people and the welfare of
mankind. Bless Thy servant, the
chief magistrate OF our nation. May
he and all others clothed with au-
thority by the sovereign people be
protected by the powers Of Thy king

convention over two days. The ques-

entirely within the discretion of the
convention. Senator Foraker says he

FAIRBANKS FOR
SECOND PLACE

CHICAGO, June 21.-If there was
ever a doubt about the nomination of
Fairbanks for vice president, late de-
velopments have set it at rest. When
Pennsylvania and New York fell into
line the other boomlets did not have
any legs to stand on. Cannon's force
full pictures and queer expressions
on the subject of his candidacy set
tied the matter, so far as the New
York scheme to nominate him was
concerned.
President Roosevelt kept his hands
out of the fight, but Cornelius Bliss,
who represents the president. was
consulted and acauiesced in the pro-
gram. There will be no fight in the
convention, although there may be
Of others, whose enthusiastic friends
refuse to permit the withdrawal of
their names.
The rebellious talk against the Sc
lectisn OF Cortelyou as chairman Of
the national committee has almost
entirely subsided. Cortelyou is de-
tained in New York on account of
the Slocum disaster. but is expected
here Wednesday. His coming, how
ever. will have little effect on the
situation.
Platform Questions.
The hopes Of the tariff readjusters
for revision plank In the platform
are doomed to disappointment. But
little talk is heard foreshadowing the
slightest concessions on the part of
the stand-patters. The western dele
gates continue agitation against the
anti-polygamy plank, matter in
which the delegates from Utah, Ida
no, Colorado. Wyoming and other in
termountain states are standing to-
gether.
Another fruitful topic for the west
ern delegates is the statehood ques-
ton. Although the last two con-
crosses have refused to carry out
platform pledges looking to the ad-
mission of Oklahoma, Arizona ana
New Mexico. the statehood boomers
have not lost hope and the struggle
will be renewed before the commit
tee on resolutions.

Children rich and children poor;
children in their Sunday go-to-meetings
and children in patched and darned
ginehams, turned out in full force this
morning to attend the picnic given un-
der the direction of Captain Nc
Clelland Of Ondawa Inn. At o'clock
they commenced to gather around the
corner Of Front and Stevens. Each
minute the crowd grew and each
minute the troubles and trials Of
Captain McClelland increased.
The boys were boisterous and noisy,
as healthy boys should be. There was
continued buzz and hum Of eager
and expectant voices. At Q o'clock
the wagons backed up before the Inn.
1t took FIVE heavy trucks to carry
the good cheer for the children. Two
wagons, each carrying 10 freezers Of
ice cream were loaded The other
wagons were loaded down with cakes,
cookies, oranges, apples, bologna,
doughnuts, candy, sandwiches, ice, pies,

for lemonade and utensils for the grand
spread.
