Killing of Boom for Cannon.
The Cannon boom, started anew by
Gov. Odell, Senator Depew and Con-

The campaign is therefore ended, and
Fairbanks will be nominated with the,

The new national committee will. as,
usual, invite the President to name the.

the President will name George B. Cor

its kick and showed it's displeasure with
the President for making known his Sc

with the President as the real power in,

FIGHT FOR SECOND PLACE IS SETTLED
New York and Pennsylvania Decide to Cast
Votes for Fairbanks Which Insures
His Nomination


Chicago, Ill, June 21.-Theodore
Roosevelt will be nominated for Presi-
dent and Charles w. Fairbanks will be
nominated for vice president by the
unanimous vote of the Republican ma
tIonal convention.
The contest over the vice presidency
ended last night, when New York and
Pennsylvania Endorsed Senator Fair
banks and agreed to cast their solid votes
for him. Other states began to fall into
line behind the lead of the great eastern
states, until at midnight there were
enough votes pledged to the Indiana
senator to make his nomination sure on
the first ballot. The Massachusetts dele
CATION, which has firted with several
candidates in the field and attempted to
bring out new ones, is ready to go to
Fairbanks, and SO are Ohio and Iowa,
Michigan and Wisconsin.
Sole Doubt on Favorite Sons.
The only uncertainty now is as to
whether the states with favorite SONS will
present their names and insist on a COM
pllmentary vote. The proba bility is that
Mr.. Hits name will not be presented
to the convention, or that it will be pre-
sented and withdrawn, and the vote Of
llIIuOiS cast IOr senator FAIRBANKS. The
other states with favorite sons are trying
to find way to express their approval
of these conditions and at the same time
gel into line for Fairbanks
The following states and territories
have formally Endorsed Fairbanks: New
York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Connecticut,
Tennessee, Maryland, North Carolina.
North Dakota, South Dakota, Washing
ton. Maine, Alabama, Florida. Indian
Territory and Hawaii.
Triumph of Fairbanks.
The Indiana men have won a victory
in resisting the effort to push Senator
Fairbanks into seeking the nomination.
This he firmly refused to do, and the
Republican leaders in Indiana supported
him in that determination He stated
that he would accept but he declined to
be placed in the attitude of seeking the
nomination.
In holding this attitude Senator Fair
banks had to meet the popularity of
Speaker Cannon, whose name was used
to brighten him, as we'll as to dispose of
the speaker in a berth where he would
not be able to exert influence on legisla-
ton; the scheme to place Secretary of
War William II. Taft before the conven-
ton as rival; the reports that the Pres

TWO MEN CONFESS TO
A SINGLE MURDER.
Both Claim to Be the Murderer-One
Confesses After Twenty Years
of Silence.

Helena, Mont, June 21.-Gov. Toole
will not demand of the governor of Mis-
souri, the eXtradition of William Miles,
the 6O-year-old murderer, who, a few
days ago, at Kansas City, confessed that
ne killed a brakeman on the Montana
Union railroad north of Deer Lodge, in
1885, for which crime man Of the name
Of Waltham is now serving a life SEN
tence at the penitentiary. The governor
said that because of the mental condition
Of the convict who is now paying the
penalty for what may have been the
crime of another man, he is disposed to
pardon Waltham.
The case is most unusual one, for the
reason that in both instances the men
have confessed that they were the
slayers Of the brakeman.

My case was almost hopeless. ko-

has relieved me. Would not be
without it. Have doctored with
local physicians and also at Chi
cago, and even went to Norway
with hopes of getting some re-
lief, but Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is
the only remedy that has done me
any good, and I heartily recon-
mend it. Every person suffering
with Indigestion or Dyspepsia
should use it. Sold by A. R.

yesterday that after the first of

Attorney General Moody, upon
request of the President and the

an opinion upon two or three sam

holds that these contests, con-
Quoted by newspapers and maya
