INNOCENT MAN SET FREE.
william Walton, Aged and Insane,
Was In Prison 20 Years for
Another's Crime.

Helena, Mont, June 24.-Gov. Toole
pardoned William Walton, convicted
20 years ago Of the murder Of Jonn
Edwards. near Deer Lodge, and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for life.
The pardon is the result Of the con-
fession of William Miles, made at
Kansas City. Mo-. June 13, when he ad-
mitted having killed Edwards. The
latter was a brakeman on a train and
the murder was committed while Miles
was stealing ride on the train. A few
months after the murder Walton was
arrested in Minneapolis. where he ad-
mitted the crime. Since then he has
shown signs of insanity and 1t is now
believed he was insane when he made
the confession. Walton is an old man
and, as he still seems to be mentally
irresponsible, he may be confined to
the asylum for the insane. No steps
have been taken to bring Miles TO
Montana for trial.

PUTS DANCE BEFORE LATIN.

Dancing should be taught In the pub

lessor Of modern languages in Harvard
university, and IL his ideas prevail We
may soon have classes in the polka, the
schottische, the gladstone two-step and
the emotional buck and wing perform
ing steps in the schools Of the land.
Prof. Grandgent makes his Offering in,
the number of the School Review issued
recently from the University Of Chicago
press, and says:
Even under the most favorable con-
ditions, the linguistic attachments Of
ordinary scholars are absolutely worth
Tess from commercial standpoint. The
plea that the possession of a strange
tongue is essential to the enjoyment Of
travel, or that 1t Is often convenient for
intercourse with foreigners at home. Is
too. frivolous to merit consideration. On
such grounds a better case could be-
made for dancing as high school study.

Of national ticket without dissent
ing vote. Theodore Roosevelt for
president and Charles w. Fairbanks
for vice president received every rote
in the convention. Regardless Of the
fact that the nomination of one had
been assured for months and the other
for days, the announcement of the
choice was accompanied by resound-
ing demonstration. The cheering was
led by figures known through the
breadth of the land and echoed By q
mighty throng Of enthusiastic men
and radiant women assembled in the
Coliseum to witness the GROWING fea-
ture rs we'll as the close OF the ma
tional convention that marks the semi
centennial of the republican PARTY in
the United States. No less than 10000
men and women participated in the
ratification of the party programme
and the consequent roar Of cheering
and handclapping was deafening. The
band stationed high among the girders
of the hall was drowned by the tu-
multuous unbounded demonstration.

told its appreciation of the conven-
tons choice for president The name
of Roosevelt came from every shout.
While the demonstration was at its
height Chairman Cannon stepped to
the front Of the stage. He held in his
hand the banner which was waved in
1860 when Lincoln was nominated and
which has been used in every conven-
ton since. The flag showed the wear
and tear Of many similar contests.
Pandemonium broke loose again
when the speaker announced that there
were S94 votes and 944 had been cast
for Roosevelt. A great picture of the
president was carried about through
the hall.
Senator Fairbanks was at his hotel
when he heard of the nomination by
reclamation of President Roosevelt
and he promptly sent this telegram:
THE President, Washington: am
pleased to extend to you my heartfelt
congratulations upon your nomination
amidst great enthusiasm. Later in
the afternoon the senator received this
telegram, dated white house, June %:
Permit me to extend to you and the
country heartfelt congratulations on
your nomination. need hardly add

dore Roosevelt" In reply the senator
teiegraphed the president: Il thank
you for your cordial congratulations.
To be named by the convention as
your associate in the great campaign
that is before us is n distinction which
I deeply appreciate"
The Indiana delegation marched in
a body to the senator's hotel from the
Coliseum and gave him a rousing
greeting. The senator and Mrs. Fair
banks left Friday morning for Indian
apolis, where they will be rendered a
reception. Hundreds of kilograms
were received by the senator from all
parts Of the country and Fairbanks
buttons were everywhere to be seen.

of representatives sent this dispatch
to President Roosevelt: "The men,
bers Of the Indiana delegation in the
