THAT LAND QUESTION.

WE NOTICE in the territorial papers that charges brought
that thousands of of land selected by the u land
board for the territorial educational institutions and supposed
contain valuable timber have been found be of no particular
value and simply good for leasing for occupation by goat herds
three or four cents instead of being worth from
three to five dollars per for timber charged that David
White of the board neglected his duty and did
make the selections properly and carefully this important
matter demanded Some of the democratic papers the territory
are trying show the responsibility for this upon the officials of
the board and in respects the responsibility of these officials
cannot well be shifted Mr. White their appontee but we
believe that the chief responsibility rests with this surveyor and
that the board should make thorough search and investigation We
hope Mr. White dpove the charge and show that has
his duty the selection of these lands During the last session
the Legislature he has been getting very handsome salary in
addition to getting his expense which times has not been
small we informed he be vendcaed we would like
to see this done this charge is the Land Board owes it to
the people and itself that the oense not forgiven and not
forgotten We believe that the board will look into and nves-
gate this selection business and that the people will be informed
the true state of affairs and of the truthfunes or fy of the
charges the investigation finishes The present

A Double Tragedy.

Detroit, Mich, Special.-A small pri-
vate Office in a suite on the eleventh
floor of the Chamber Of Commerce
Building, at the corner Of Griswold
and State streets, was the scene Of a
most thrilling tragedy, when Chas. A.
Swayse, an insurance agent, fought
with Miss Effie Alvord for several min
utes in an attempt to throw her out OF
the window, then shot her twice and
plunged himself from the window to
the brick pavement Of State street, be-
ing almost instantly killed. Miss Al
word was shot twice in the neck. and
badly beaten about the head and face
by Swayse, but her physician said to-
night that she Is not dangerously hurt
Every bone in Swayse's body below his
neck was broken by his fall Of 165 feet.
Despite the terrific fall, a faint flick
ering of life remained when he was
picked up, but it went out as his broken
body was being carried to the lobby OF
the building. Back Of the tragedy lies
a tale of intimacy between Miss AlVord
and Swayse. who was 81 years old,
married, and the father Of two young
daughters.

ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS
Republican National Convention Names Ticket
Amid Much Enthusiasm

, the recently-elected National Reubli-
can Committee would meet in the
Coliseum Immediately on the adjourn
nent of the convention.
Chairman Cannon at once announced
that the next order of business would
be a roll-call of the States for the
nomination of President of the United
States.
The clerk called Alabama, and imme-
6iately Oscar r. Hundley, of that
State, mounted a chair and announced
that Alabama requested the honor and
privilege of yielding its place oa the
roll to the State Of New York.
Instantly the convention was in an
uproar. The New York delegation was
on its feet like one man, waving flags
and shouting wildly. Former Governor
Frank Black, of New York, who was
to deliver the nominating speech in
behalf of President Roosevelt, imme-
diately started for the platform, amid
the widest enthusiasm on the part OF
the delegates.
AS Governor Black reached the desk
Ct Chairman Cannon he was warmly
greeted by that gentleman and escorted
down to the front OF the platform
Here Chairman Cannon, standing by
the side of Mr.. Black, in few words,
introduced him to the convention.
There was a succession Of shouts from
the convention, q chorus Of shrieks
from the New York delegation, par
cxysm Of tossing flags, then silence and
Mr.. Black commenced his speech in be-
half of President Roosevelt.
A SOUTHERN SPEAKER.
Chairman Cannon announced the
next speaker as "Mr. Stilwell, of Geor-

met at 1890 o'clock Thursday morning
with the expectation Of nominating
candidates, and adjourning in time for
afternoon trains.
The Coliseum began to fill at 9
o'clock with the thousands permitted
to hear the nominating and seconding
speeches.
The galleries were completely filled
for the first time and tiers of people
were standing in rear aisles.
A few moments before the assemb-
ling there was hurried conference by
the managers which resulted in agree
ment that Alabama, the first State on
the roll, would yield to New York to
nominate Roosevelt.
1t was also agreed that Alabama,
which was the first State to instruct
for Fairbanks, would yield to Iowa to
place the Senator's name in nomina-
ton for the Vice Presidency.
The delay in calling the convention
to order was due to the completion Of
, some resolutions that were to be pre-
sented But the music Of the band and
the evident good humor Of the crowd
made the time pass rapidly and there
was no manifestation Of impatience.
It was exactly 10:30 when Chairman
Cannon, welding the immense wooden
gavel IN his left hand, arose from his
high-backei chair and with a. 'resound-
ing whack on the table in front of him,
commanded the convention to be in
order.
''The convention will be opened with
prayer" he announced.
Rev. Thaddeus A. Sniveley, rector Of
st. Chrysostum church, was presented
and at Mr.. Cannon's suggestion ad-
vsnced to the front Of the platform AS
he spread forth his arms to invoke di-
vine blessing. the convention arose.
The animated hum of conversation
ceased and absolute silence prevailed.
At the conclusion of the prayer,
Chairman Cannon presented the fol-
lowing announcements through the
reading clerk:
"On the 9Th day of July, at Jackson,
Miss, there will be celebrated the 50th
anniversary of the birth of the Repub-
Hcan party. (Applause) The time when
and the place where it received its
name. Secretary Hay will deliver tn@

and others will address the meeting"
Then followed an announcement that
