The base ball benefit dance was
very successful in every way.
The promoters worked bard to

any fault to find with anything

The Dodge CITY Judge Republican Can
dldaie For Congress.

The Hutchinson News of last
night reports the result Of the
convention. as follows:
Judge Ed. H. Madison of Dodge
City will be the candidate
from the Big Seventh district.
He was nominated by reclamation
by the Seventh District Republican
Congressional convention, which
met at the Home thatre today.
Judge w. E. Hutchinson of
Garden City, who has been bis
only opponent for the nomination,
did not allow his name to 90 be-
fore the convention. At a con-
ference of his advisers this morn
ing it was decided not to present
his name, and, on his advice, the
nomination of Madison was
seconded on behalf of his sup
porters. Judge Hutchinson was
fofered the permanent chairman
ship of the convention, but said
that he preferred not to accept
the honor.
Not since 1895, fourteen years
ago has it been necessary to take
ballot in regular Seventh Dis
trict Republican convention on a
nomination for Congress. In the
special convention at Great Bend
three years ago, made necessary
by the elevation of Chester !.
Long.to the United States Senate,
a ballot was taken and Victor Muir
dock became the nominee. But
this was not a regular convention.
Mr.. Murdock's denomination the
last time in this district also was
by reclamation as were all the
nominatins of Mr.. Long, after the
convention of 1892. This does
not mean there was no contest.
Mr.. Long had opponents for the
nomination several times, but each
time the opposition iiattened out
before the convention met.

From the Bison Bee.
James Horacek. committed sui,
eide last Friday afternoon between
three and five o'clock. by shoot
ing himself in the breast with a
shot gun. No particular reason
can be found for the rash act.
Nothing strange was noticed in
the mans conduct until the day
previous to the shooting when his
brother-in-law noticed that he was
smoking an unusual number of
cigarettes and that he did not talk
much. No notice was taken of
this and or Friday, the day of the
shooting, he was seen in a pasture
in q bunch of grass, smoking. It
is supposed that the deed was CON-
mitted between the hours of three
and five o'clock, but the body was
not found till about ten o'clock the
next day by Frank SteiskaI and
Alex Kaufman.
The authorities we're notified
and jury empaneled whose yer.
dict was that the deceased met
his death by his own hand. Hav.
ing used a double barreled shot
gun. One shoe had been remov.
ed in an effort to reach the trigger
with his toes. This being difficult
he had loo iened one end of the
trigger guard and turned it to the
side. The right barrel had beer
discharged, the contents entering
the left breast and caused instant
death. The left barrel was still
loaded when found and the ham
mer was up.
The deceased was 90 years old
a native of Bohemoia and had on
ly been in this country about s
year.
