SULLIVAN IS INDICATED
ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO
GUST COMMITTEEMAN.
Nebraska Man Endorsed for the Pres.
idency-State Ticket Named
by Convention.

Peoria, III. - William Jennings
Bryan Endorsed as the demo-
cratic nominee for president in 1908,
and Roger G. Sullivan, of Chicago, vim
dicated and the demand for his resig-
nation as national committeeman
made by Mr. Bryan from Europe voted
down by 1,05S delegates to $40, was
the outcome of one of the hardest
political battles ever fought in the
state Tuesday. From start to finish
Sullivan and his cohorts completely
dominated the state convention. From
the election of ex-Justice Boggs as
chairman to the defeat of the resolu-
tons condemning Mr.. Sullivan there
never was moment of doubt as to
who controlled the gathering.
Incidental in it's Importance was the
nomination of slate of state officers.
These nominations were made just
preceding the Bryan-Sullivan fight and
were as follows:
For state treasurer-N. L. Plot
rowski
For superintendent of public in
struction-Caroline Grote.
For trustees state rniversity-D. r.
Cameron, ]. S. Cuneo, c. d. Bourland.
The feature of the platform that al
most ended in a riot was the indorse-
ment of Bryan in these words:
For president of the United States
In 1908 the Democrats of Illinois, first
and last, have but one choice, and that
man Is William Jennings Bryan"
This precipitated the one big row of
the convention.
The principal feature of the plat.
form is the Endorsement of William j
Bryan for president, in the face of the
Nebraskan's protest that he opposed
such Endorsement unless Sullivan was
busted as national committeeman.

TAFT WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT
Secretary of War to Decline Place on
Supreme Bench.

Washington.-Willi H. Taft, sec
rotary of war, will formally communi-
cate to the president in short time
that he does not desire the honor of
an appointment to the supreme court
bench. He will send notice in time
for the president to make selection
before the fall term of the supreme
court opens in October.
Mr. Taft's Endorsement for the pres
idency by the Ohio Republican state
convention is practically assured. He
has been considered one of the most
prominent possibilities by Ohio Re-
publicans, and in view of Speaker
Cannons reiterated declarations that
he would not be known as a candi-
date, the secretary's plan Of action is
considered most significant at this
time.
The Ohio Republicans have been
quietly booming Mr.. Taft for the pres
idency for months. BY every possible
method they have been advancing his
cause, even going so far, it is under.

NEBRASKA NOTES
BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR THE FAIR
The Attendance This Year Expected
to Be a Record Breaker-A POST
office Robbed Other Matters In
Nebraska.
All Ready for the Fair.

LINCOLN--Secretary Mellor of the
state fair board is of the opinion the
attendance this year will be larger
than ever before in the history of the
fair. This will be brought about by
several new attractions not heretofore
a part of the fair. One race of much
interest will be between two guidless
horses. The Guideless Wonder made
such a hit last year that the board
thought race between two horses
without rider or driver would be II
decided and novel drawing card. The
derby will be of great interest and VIII
be the means of attracting many peo'
pie.
Inasmuch as William J. Bryan will
return to Lincoln September during
fair week, this will also greatly in
crease the attendance as it is expect
ed thousands of strangers will come
here to attend the welcome reception

LABELS FOR MEAT PRODUCTS
Chicago Packers Confer with Federal
Officials at Washington.

Washington. - Representatives of
the meat packing interests, prin
cipally of Chicago, were in confer
ence Monday with Acting Secretary
Hays, DR.. Wiley, chief of the bureau
of chemistry, and Dr. Melvin, chief of
the bureau of animal industry of the
agricultural department, about the la
bells for their products which they will
have to use under the meat inspection
law and pure food law.
Both the meat inspection and pure
food laws provide for the use of labels
on articles which come under these
acts. The manufacturers desire to
make their labels fill the requirements
of both laws. The meat inspection
law will go into effect so far as the
labels are concerned on the list of Oc-
tober, while the pure food law will not
be effective until the LIST of next Janu-
airy.
1t was discovered at the conference
that the labels heretofore in use by
materially. The changes involve the
consideration of a great mass of de-
tails, all of which had to be gone over
at the conference. 1t was the opinion
of the packers that they would be able
to prepare their labels by October l
so that they would conform to both
the meat inspection and the pure food
laws, thus avoiding the difficulty of
getting out two sets of labels.

COST OF RUNNING NATION
MONEY APPROPRIATED BY THE
LAST CONGRESS.
Nearly a Billion Dollars Spent by
Lawmakers-Big Sum for
Pensions.

Washington According to state
ment issued by Thomas p. Cleaves
and James c. Courts, chief clerks,
respectively, of the senate and house
committees on appropriations, con.
gress, at its last session, appropri.
ated for the fiscal year 1907, $685. $780,.
1876, representing an increase of
$50 ,404, 5000 over the sum appropri-
ated the last session of the Fifty
eighth Congress for 1906. The largest
item is contained in the appropria-
ton for the post office department,
the amount allotted being $191, $685.
99S.75. The next largest sum was
given for pensions, the money appro.
priated amounting to $140,245,500, or
nearly twice as much as was allowed
for the support of the army and over
forty millions more than was granted
for the naval establishment.
OF the net increase of $50, 404, $50 20
over 1905, it is stated 42,447 POI, 08

ance being accounted FOR through the
appropriations for the carrying out Of

ance of contracts for river and harbor

matte and consular service, and the
extension of the rural free delivery

number, at an annual compensation
of $6,615,S70; and those abolished or
RENTED are 5,2S5 in number, at an
annual compensation Of $4,010,109, a
net increase CT 1,649 in number and
$2,605,761 in amount.
"Deducting from the net increase

ments, 1886 additional employees for
the postal service, there remain only
2S3 net increase in employments for
all other departments and branches
of the public service"

MINERS KILLED IN EXPLOSION
Heroic Collier Meets Death Trying to
Rescue His Corade.

Mahanoy City, Pa.-By an explosion
of gas in the West Buck mountain
gangway in the fifth level of the Vul-
can colliery of the Mill Creek Coal
company Tuesday, Charles Staukhus,
aged 25 years, and John Haruka, aged
80 years, were instantly killed, five
persons were probably fatally injured
and about dozen were overcome by
after-damp. Stukus was killed by the
first explosion and Haruka was killed
as he was preparing to carry the body
Of Staukus to the gangway.
There were two explosions at inter
walls of ten minutes. Both did much
damage to the mine, brattices being
ripped away and timbers blown out
along the gangway for distance of
several hundred yards. The fourth
lift of the mine was completely
wrecked.

FLAMES SWEEP MEsARA RANGE
Millions of Dollars Worth OF Property
In Danger of Destruction.

Duluth.-Lack of wind is the
only condition that prevents ter
rife spreading of the forest fires on
the Mesaba and Vermilion ranges.
The Mesaba is veritable furnace as
a result of the flames devastating the
parched ground. Millions of dollars
worth of property, including towns
and mines, is in peril, and all depends
on the direction and force of the wind.
People at various points are back
1rjlg" to prevent the encroachment of
the fires upon towns or mining prop
critics. Great apprehension is felt for
the newer towns, or those about which
the brush and forest still stand. Fear
is also felt for many of the home
steaders north of the Mesaba range
There are hundreds of these.
The Mesaba and Vermilion ranges
are covered with pail of smoke.

THE MACHINE GUN
THAT is THE PATTERN TO BE
USED BY CUBA.
BANDERA KILLED IN THE BATTLE
Death of Negro Leader Deals Heavy
Blow to lnsurrection-RuraI Guards
and Volunteers Sent Against Santa
Clara Rebels.

HAVANA-Font Sterling, secretary
of the treasury, late tonight, cleared
up in statement to the Associated
Press, a misleading announcement
made at the palace tonight to the effect
that the Cuban government had asked
the United States for eight rapid fire
guns manned by American artillery.
men to be used in the suppression OF
the instruction. The facts are, ac-
cording to the secretary, that the gov
eminent has ordered from an Ameri-
can arms company four rapid fire guns
and these will be manned by former
members of the artillery branch of
the American army now here. If these
guns prove to be effective four or more
additional will be ordered and it is ex-
pected that experienced gunners can
be procured to man them in the United
States. The United States has not
been asked to do anything in the
premises.
The subject of American interven-
ton is much discussed here and is re-
garded as remote possibility, there
being general confidence that the gov
eminent will be able to restore order
in short time.
The killing of the insurrectionary
leader, Gen. Quentin, Bandera, today
in an engagement between rural
guards and band of his followers is
regarded as dealing the Instruction
a heavy blow.
The government is acting with
energy in sending rural guards and
volunteers against the Santa Clara
rebels and in dispatching $50 more
men to defend Pinar del RE against
Pine Guarra. The capture of San
Juan Martinez by Guerra's band was
not a great surprise, though it was
not expected to occur so soon. The
place was protected by a very small
| detachment of rural guards, while
Guerra's strength was much greater.
The taking of Pinar del Rio will be
quite another matter, since there are
in that vicinity twice as many troops
as the insurgent Pine Guerra can
muster. 1t is regarded as more than
probable that the troops will take the
offensive and if possibly draw Guerra
into an open fight.
While government reinforcements
are being forwarded, Guerra's follow
ing is not believed to have been
greatly augmented by his occupancy
of the two Vuelta Abajo towns.
Public opinion appears to vary &C.
cording to locality from enthusiastic
adherence to the government to open
| rebellion.
