The Stomach is the Man.

A weak stomach weakens the
man, because it cannot transform
the food he eats into nourish-
ment. Health and strength can
not be restored to any sick man
or weak woman without first re-
storing health and strength to the
stomach. A weak stomach cannot
digest enough food to feed the
tissues and revive the tired and
run down limbs and organs Of the
body. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure di-
gests what you eat, cleanses and
strengthens the glands and mem
branes of the stomach, and cures
Indigestion, dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles. Sold by Opera

An Interesting Letter.

Editor Oil Review:
Dear Sir:-Active prospecting
for oil continues undated in the
Far West. Another good well has
been brought in in the Northern
Montana field, and preparations
are being made to prove good or
bad the indications in Carbon
county, Mont. Several new and
splendid producing wells have
come in since July l in the cen
trail Wyoming field and new gas
discoveries are reported in all
three States Montana, Wyoming
and Utah. AS natural gas is a
fairly good sign of an oil field in
the vicinity, there is scarcely a
doubt as to the actual existence OF
good-sized oil deposits in several
places in the Rocky Mountain
States. Unquestionably the larg
est, most extensive field lies in
Utah. | state this Judging solely
from the extent of the indications
on the surface. After a year o.
trials and tribulations the GuHey
& Galley well at Pennington,
Utah, has attained a depth of lit
tie over 1000 feet, and on Septem-
Der 7, according to reports said
to be authentic, the dri ] broke
through the limerick into Il strata
of OF bearing sand The quantity
o.: oil contained in the sand is not
sufficient to lend the belief that
the real pay strata is reached. ".
p. Rumbaugh, superintendent Ct
the well, states that he is ira>
mensely pleased with the appear
ance and quality Of the oil sand
and that he fully expects to make
this first well a good producer =
something that is scarcely ever
done when drilling in prOspec-
tive field. He further says that a
genuine field is there, and that
the formations containing the
main deposits are strong enough
to hold the oil in the channels and
reservoirs where it belongs. lie
now knows the ground and con-
ditions against which he must con-
tend in drilling and declares that
he could sink another well fully
as deep as the present one inside
of three months. Intense interest
is manifested in the progress of
the Guffey & Galley well, and
great rejoicing will follow the an
nouncement that a large body Of
oil had been struck. According to
report from Salt Lake, local
company has struck oil within
the city limits, but at this writing
details of this strike. can not be
obtained. The Jones well, near
Cisco, is again going down, the
broken parts of the drilling APP
paratus having been replaced. n
good grade of asphaltum oil has
just been struck at a depth of 10
feet at Promontory Utah. Withal
the Utah field has a brigh; future
and we believe it will not be
dimmed by subsequent events.

STILL AWAITING TIDINGs
OF MISSING LIFEBOATS
Second Officer of the Wrecked Steam
ship Norge Tells of the Fight
to Reach Land.


LONDON, July 9.-Latest informa-
tion points to the conclusion that only
one boatload of survivors Of the
wrecked Danish steamer Norge was
picked up yesterday. A dispatch from
Leith. Scotland, says that nineteen
survivors had been. landed at Thor
haven, Farce Islands. A dispatch from
Glasgow saying that a boat containing
eleven passengers, eight sailors and
one child had reached Shetland Islands,
probably referred to the same boat.
The second officer Of the Norge. who
landed at Thorhaven. says that on the
night of June 80 his boat sighted a
large steamer and that he made all the
signals in his power, but his boat was
not observed. All hands then lost hope.
For five days thereafter storms. fog,
sunshine and calm were the only

HEADQUARTERS CALIFORNIA
DELEGATION, ST. LOUIS. July g.
Contention is marking the last hours
OF the official existence OF the Califor-
mia delegation. The anger OF NJ. F.
Tarpey over the easy manner in which
the Parker forces disposed OF his op-
position may be responsible for this
condition. One thing is certain. The
Jewel of consistency has ever glittered
from the banner OF the Californians.
They have Quarreled without cessa-
ton. No riffs OF peace have appeared
IN the black clouds OF strife. With
true Democratic love Of contest they
have kept woes caIdron bubblinE.
At o'clock this morning after the
defeat Of Hearst had been recorded,
Tarpey said:
The odds against US were too great
10 be overcome. but we enjoyed the
friendship Of Bryan throughout the
fight and this is a source Of great sat
isfaction. He is the greatest man in
America and il is better to 90 down
70 defeat with him than TO go TO vic
tory against him. A lot of these polit-
ical lice that opposed US will soon
meet their reward, hope. These YER
min that oppose principle and betray
trust cannot run the country. The
people will prevent them"
TARPEY DISTURBED.
Tarpey was in this amaible frame Of
mind when he was approached by the
south Of Tehachapi delegates with a
proposition TO give James II. Budd
the complimentary vote of California
for Vice President. Tarpey didn't
care TO hear the scheme. In his opin-
ion California had already gained a
large suficiency of prominence If not
notoriety in the convention. Again
Tarpey was not quite sure that all of
the Californians would be willing to
give Budd the complimentary vote. 1t
is conceded that in this Tarpey should
be the best judge. at least so far as
one vote is concerned.
Later in the day it was said that
some OF the northern men favored
giving Tarpey the complimentary vote
for Vice President, but this suggestion
split the delegation into two factions
Of wildly differing ideas. The result
OF the wrangle was that when the del
egation met this afternoon il decided
10 forego the pleasure of naming a
California man for Vice President and
TO plant its standard beside that of
West Virginia in its fight 10 nominate
Il G. Davis. Tarpey again jumped the
traces when the delegation sought TO
tie him down TO Tom Taggart of In
diana for chairman of the National
Committee.
Although Tarpey had proposed and
demanded until turned down by bal
lots that the California delegation
adopt the unit rule. he refused to ad-
init the right Of the California dele
cation 10 tie him to any one or sug-
gest for whom he should vote. The

Bryan Makes Hard Fight to Defeat
Nominee, but His Efforts Are
Without Any Effect.

ST. LOUIS, July 9.-Judge Alton B.
Parker of the New York State Court Of
Appeals was nominated at 5:45 o'clock
this morning for President of the
United States by the Democratic Ma
uonal Convention. Only one rolf call
ensued. and so decisive was the result
or that one that contrary States began
to call for recognition. and the ballot
nnally resulted in unanimous vote for
the New York State man The scene
was dramatic In the extreme. Darkness
had witnessed the gathering OF the
Democratic hosts, while broad daylight.
the sun paling the electric light. wit
messed the close.
The convention was In session from
o'clock last night until nearly 8 o'clock
this morning. In that time eight names
were presented to the convention.
Nominating and seconding speeches in
Vulnerable were made, and as dawn ap-
preached 1t became necessary to limit
the seconding speeches to four minutes
each. An exception was made in the
case OF William Jennings Bryan. who
In one Of the most dramatic situations
ever witnessed in a political gathering
addressed the convention and conclud-
ed by seconding the nomination of Sen
ator Francis M. Cockrell, the "favorite
son" candidate from Missouri. Bryan
received the third great ovation ac-
corded during the convention. His
speech was an impassioned appeal to
the delegates to give the party a cam
didate who had voted the Democratic
ticket in 1896 and 1900. He spoke on be-
half Of the Nebraska delegation, which
he said had no candidate or favors to
ask, but wanted a candidate whose
nomination would not prove a triumph
for one faction over another. He sug
gested Hearst If the convention thought
best. then former Governor Pattison of
Pennsylvania and finally created sur
prise in the convention by declaring for
Senator Cockrell.
One Of the features of the long drawn
out session has been the beautiful
tribute paid to Senator Cockrell when
his name was placed in nomination by
Representative Champ Clark. 1t was
spontaneous outburst and for that rea-
son the more complimentary to the
Senator. The delegates. already weary
by reason Of the tedious and trying
session, paused in their labors and in
the guise of nomination for the Presi-
dency, which the Senator's friends
knew to be beyond his reach, indulged
in demonstration continuing about
half an hour. Nearly every delegate
and spectator in the galleries or on the
floor had been provided with a flag.
and the scene was far the S1nost i'm
pressive of all the ovations given dur
ing the session.
