st. Louis, Mo-. June 27.-The ma
tional committee of the Peoples Par
ty met in annual conference here to-
day, delegates being present from
almost every state in the Union. The
gathering is for the purpose of dis
cussing the political situation. 1t is
said that possibly the members of
the committee will endorse a man
for the presidential nomination.
The conference was called to or
der by James H. Farris, of Joliet. ILL.,,
national chairman of the Peoples
party. In his address Farris said the
party was at peace within itself. THE
rate BILL he said, does not meet
the Populist demands, but it is a step
showing at least that statesmen desire.
10 do something for the country. The
Populists will push on for government
ownership of those industries pos
sessing public functions. Theodore
Roosevelt, Senator La Toilette and
Thomas Lawson, William j. Bryan,
Governor Folk and w. R. Hearst, who
are nicknamed PopulistS by their
Wall street despisers, are the great
men in their parties, and it is their
Populist tendencies alone that have
made them more highly esteemed by
the people than their ordinary parti-
sans 1t is now recognized by their
party managers, for Bryan, Hearst
or Folk will be taken to defeat Re
publican for the presidency; likewise
the Republican managers understand
they can defeat .the Democrats with
no other man than Roosevelt"
Wisconsin Democrats.
Milwaukee, June 81 The Demo
cratic state convention for the pur-
pose of adopting a platform to be

clusion. State Chairman H. H. Man

STANDARD MAN IS HERE
Reports That the Roswell Oil is Bet
ter Than the Average.-Boier is
Now in Place and Expert Garfield
Says Better Quality is Coming.

Four barrels of oil were bailed from
the prospect hole of the Roswell Oil
Company east of town yesterday af-
ternoon, and when several cans full
of the oil were brought to town last
night, interest in the oil field was
revived The hole had been idle for
several days while the new boiler
was being set in place. and the oil
had accumulated When tested it was
proven that the oil was of fine quail
ty, as it showed a specific gravity
of 222, which is far above the aver
age of the best oil fields of the coun-
try. Beaumont oil runs from Is to
20 in its specific gravity.
Isaac Garfield, the expert oil man,
declares that the quality of the oil
will be even better when the live
oil of the lower ground is reached.
This oil had come up through a hun
dred feet of gravel that had been
dumped in the hole in order to
straighten the course of the shaft.
An interesting item in connection
with the oil situation is that c. H.
McCready, manager for the Stand
ard Oil Company at Neodesha, Kan,
is in the city looking over the siua-
ton. 1t was he who made the test of
the oil brought in last night.
Drilling will be resumed at once.

cling it at his sweetheart She threw
up her hands as if to ward off dan
range. The first bullet entered her
heart, killing her instantly. Reinnardt
then fired two bullets into his own
breast and is not expected to survive
The cause of the tragedy is not
known The theory of friends of the
couple is that Reinhardt was excited
and temporarily irresponsible. The
families are among the best in the
and the young man and wo-
man were both highly respected.

A COMMUNICATION

BY c. n. Hale, Candidate for Demo-
cratic Nomination for Sheriff.
To the Democratic Voters of Chaves
County:
l guess nearly everybody in the
county knows that l am candidate

to say that if l should be nominated
and elected l will try to do my duty
as Sheriff the same as | have tried
to do it everywhere else.
l promise to enforce the law as
sheriff to the best of my ability. and
without fear of anyone or partiality.
Is If | am elected Sheriff | will be
Sheriff of all the people. including ali
that vote against me in the primary
election and all that vote against me
in the November election just the
same as for all that vote for me.
Of course l have got friends, and
friends that I would do anything for
that l honestly could do TO repay them
for what they have done for me; but
when it comes ito doing my duty
promise TO play no favorites. and
don't want anysof my friends to think
that / will not enforce the law just
as faithfully If the law happens to &c
against them as would if the Law

Moderation of Penitentiary Rules Due
to Maud Balinqton Booth.

Chicago, June 27.-The last vestige
OF the old order of 'iron-heel' disci-
pEne was wiped off the slate in Joliet
penitentiary yesterday, when Warden
Murphy ordered the discontinuance
of the ''lock-step" in marching the
inmates from the cells to the shops
and dining rooms. The moderation of
the rules which has been going on
for the past ten years was made pos
sibIe, it is said, through the influence
of Maud Ballington Booth, who led
the convicts to look upon their incar-
ceration as an expiation and to
withstand it heroically and in the
spirit of humility and Christian obe-
dience.

THE FAMINE IN NORTH JAPAN
STATEMENT ISSUED BY THE MA
 TIoNAL RED CROSS.
or the Most Terrible Starvation Emergencies of Modern Times.

New York, of the New York state branch of the American National Red Cross. Thursday, issued a statement as to famine conditions in Japan:
 The famine in Japan" the state ment says. which has been considered for some time moderately serious, is now known, as the result of reliable private advices received by the New York state Red Cross, to be one of the most terrible starvation emergencies of modern times. The failure of the rice crops, which at one time was believed to be limited 10 certain classes only, in the northern provinces, has been found to be general in these parts of Japan, and conservative estimates place the number of starving Japanese at from S00000 to 100000 persons. For these there is absolutely no relief in sight un- til next October, when a new harvest will be available.
 The sum of $16,000 900 will be re- quired to save the Japanese country people,
 A special meeting of the Japanese famine committee has been called for Monday The committee is now con- sidering whether it is wise to undertake the collection and transportation of food as well as money.
