The Choice or the Patty Made
Unanimous. Ex-senator Davis
His Running Mate.

WI ~. aTbor WAS unanimously
nominated for president by the
Democratic national convention at
6:45 O'Clock this morning.
His nomination came after a
session of the convention lasting
almost ten hours. Judge Parker
lacked just nine votes when the
first roll call was ended, but before
the vote was announced Idaho
changed six votes to the New
York man and Nevada followed
with two. Parker then lacked but
one vste and West Virginia gave
him thirteen and Washington ten,
making total of $50.
Before this could be announced

delegates made break for exits.
All night long thousands sat
patiently waiting and watching the
waging Of a most extraordinary
battle. =.

the nomination of Parker. Mr..
Bryan made a fiery speech and
seconded the nomination of all can
didates except Parker. He named
each in his speech. These candl-

The scenes throughout the nj ght

There were first cheers for one

other.
Despite the long session and the
lateness of the hour no one seemed
tired and even in the galleries the
crowd remained till the session
was over.

HAIL CAUSES GREAT LOSS IN MARION
Dillon, July THE hail storm
on the afternoon of the Cd was
the most disastrously destructive
OF anything of the kind that has
ever visited this section. The de-
tails as they come in are simply
sickening. Hundreds upon hun.

corn and tobacco in the State are
completely ruined.
What the loss amounts to will
never be known. One of the lar

this. Others feel that they are

ed, put his pistol to crack in the
window and fred into the house
the bullet striking the girl square
ly in the forehead and going
through her head. She died In

A Horse on Senator Nelson.

Senator Knute Nelson went to Balti-
more some ten days ago and addressed
a meeting of bankers and merchants
who were giving banquet. The Min
nesota senator recalled in happy fash
ion how, during the civil war, he
marched through the city as a private
soldier, telling in humorous fashion
how he captured horse not far from
Baltimore. These experiences furn-
ished much amusement, but few days
after Mr.. Nelson returned to WASH
ington he was given an opportunity to
see the other side of the medal. The
man who owned the horse wrote, de-
manding payment for the property
which had been appropriated so many
years ago. The letter gives details
which convince Senator Nelson that
the writer was indeed the owner of the
captured animal. Red Lake Falls
