PLATFORM ADOPTED.

The platform adopted at today's con-
vention congratulates the country he
cause of its success during the Roose-
velt administration, mainly due to his
application of the policies of William
j. Bryan. 1t asserts that the platform
adopted by the recent Republican con-
vention is sweeping indictment of
Republican party; ''ias it denounces
quarter of a century and promises all
the legislation for Legislative reforms
it has opposed in that time. " With
that preparatory observation, the plat
form adds 1--WE are for highest measure
of honesty and integrity in our public
officials and economy in the admins
tration of public affairs, and expulsion
of the lobby from the halls of legisla-

j. II. Kase, the invoice weight of coal

The committee on text books pre-
sented its report, which showed that
while many of the books in use need
ed replenishing no new series were re-
commended. The present is the first
time in many years that no change is
made in the series. A popularity in
the situation tfrfs year, therefore, lies
i'll the fact that the usual joint meet

slider the question of text books will
not be necessary and will not be held
Mr.. Fischer called attention to the
many overt acts committed about the
Fourth ward school building by un-
ruly boys. Glass are broken in the
tower and the grounds are constantly
the scene of disorder, which causes
much complaint among people living
near. On one occasion recently some
Of these boys kindled fire on one of
the rear porches and it is feared that
the building may eventually be set on
fire.
On motion of Mr.. Orth it was order
ed that the chief of police be apprised
of the conduct of the boys at the
Fourth ward building; that he be di-
rected to keep a close watch on the
building and that the first boys detect
ed doing mischief he arrested and dealt
with severely as examples.
The annual election of teachers took
place last night. No changes were
made in the corps, although the fourth
grade of the III i4'd ward was loft apo..
for the present. The application relat-
ing to this school was referred back to
the committee on teachers and certifi-
Gates, it to report at next meeting of
the school board. The salary of d. N.
Dieffenbacher was raised from $75 to
$50 and that of f. w. Magill from so
to $50.
The committee made it's recommend
ations, which were adopted and teach
ers were elected for the ensuing year

SAVED BABY LYONS LIFE.
Awful Sight from That Dreadful Com
plant, Infantiie- Eczema-Mother
Praises Cuticura Remedies.

"Our baby had that dreadful CON-
plant, infantile Eczema, which aftliot-
ed him for several months, commenc.
ing at the top Of his head, and at last
covering his whole body. His suffer
ings were untold and constant misery,
in fact, there was nothing we would
not have done to have given him re-
lief. We finally procured a full set of
the Cuticura Remedies, and in about
three or four days he began to show a
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in a year. In about
ninety days he was fully II ecovered.
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has
always been our greatest pleasure,
and there is nothing too good that we
could say in their favor, for they Ger
tainly saved our baby's life, for he
was the most awful sight that I ever
beheld, prior to the treatment of the

Tho Caravan Cure.

One of the many "cures'' favored by
fashionable people weary of London,
is the caravan cure" This simple
and enjoyable method Of renewing
ones strength consists in travelling
about Britain in a cart, such as the
Gypsies have, and camping out at
night wherever a haven can be found.
Lord and Lady Arthur Grosvenor
have spent the summer journeying in
this fashion through Exmoor, wild
and mountainous country, made
famous by the great romance, Lorna

Policeman Flynn hastily caught up
his helmet and departed.
AS they hurried along it was ex-
planned to the policeman that things
were IN a bad way at Flaherty's. The
Oldest boy had hurt himself, and the
neighborhoodf doctor who had been
called in wanted him sent to the hos

to do, but Mrs. Flaherty would not
hear Of it. She was going to have
her boy with her at all hazards.

then he added under his breath,
"whin he's in his grave or tn polls

But the woman won her point.
Even reason and sense must give way
before the assaults of a mother plead
ing for her child, and the doctor
eased his conscience with the thought
that it was not very serious case,
and the boy probably would come out
all right anyway. He knew taat she
was unwise, but love and wisdom do
not often go hand in hand. !
But she must have assistance" he
said. There is practically Nothing
in the house, and she has no money.
I'll report the case to the relief au-
thorities at once"
Others who had gathered expressed
approval of this decision, and then
left, feeling that the fact that the
matter was to be put in the hands of
the proper officers relieved them Of
responsibility. But Policeman Flynn
was not satisfied. His was a prac-
tical mind, and he wanted to do some
thing.
''I'll r-run ye-er ma-an in f'r ye, SOS

gested in the goodness of his heart.
