on the first ballot. The vote as taken
gave boyd 129A, Mccarthy 90 1900,

half vote short of nomination, but
before the result of the ballot was an

Fremont, Neb., Aug. 16.-From a
staff correspondent: The convention
of the Third congressional district,
called to meet here at 10 o'clock today
to place in nomination a candidate to
succeed J. j. Mccarthy as representa-
tive in congress, was rather slow in
getting together and it was some time
after the hour named when Chairman
Fales sounded the gavel which called
the delegations to order. Jack Koenig
stein, secretary of the central commit
tee, read the call, and then the chair
man introduced Ross Hammond as
temporary chairman, with the an
nouncement that he had been selected
by the central committee to preside
temporarily over the deliberations of
the convention.
When Mr.. Hammond assumed the
chair, he made a speech in which he
sounded the key note of the campaign,
dwelling with earnestness upon the
fact that the republican stands today
for the people as against the cor
porations, endorsing the railway
commission amendment and declaring
for the anti-pass platforms that have
been adopted by nearly every repub-
lican county convention in Nebraska
After Mr.. Hammond's address, there
appearing to be no contesting delega-
tions, the credentials in the hands of
the secretary were accepted and the
delegates allowed seats in the conven-
ton.
Burt county moved that e. e. Taylor
of Tekamah be made permanent chair
man and he was elected without oppo-
sition.
Jack Koenigstein of Norfolk was
made permanent secretary.
Miller of Madison moved that a COM
mittee of seven be appointed on reso-
lutions. The motion carrying, the
chair appointed the following named
on the committee: Miller of Madi-
son; Lister of Cedar Ashley of Burt;
Stockwell of Nance; Gurney of Dodge;
Elliott of Cunning; Mote of Merrick.
After the permanent organization
was perfected, the convention took a
recess until l o'clock.
Promptly at that hour the conven-
tion reassembled and Immediately got
down to business.
Ballot was ordered on candidate for
congressman, and on the roll call the
several counties voted as follows:
For Boyd.

NEGRO DESPERATE
Journal Special Service.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 10.-The delay oc-
casioned by a contest of authorities in
Virginia and North Carolina for pris-
oners may result in lynching in Hert-
ford county, North Carolina, where
Jesse Ruffir, colored, alleged burglar,
firebug and assassin, now is held on
various felonious charges.
Officers yesterday went to Winton to
bring Rufin to Virginia, where he is
accused of burglarizing the postoffice
at Tuggles, killing Postmaster Crabbs
and app lyipg a match to his clothing
was fully identified, but the officers
were not allowed to carry him from the
state, since it seems the requisition pa
pers of Governor Swanson have not yet
been honored by Governor Glenn of
North Carolina.
Ruffin is accused of various crimes
and feeling of unrest is becoming in
tense. Officer Branch says Sheriff Gar.
rett of Hertz ord county will ask Gov.
ernor Glenn for troops if the situation
becomes more acute. There is no tele
graph office at Winton.

ON BRITISH SOIL

London, Aug. 10.-The battle Of An
tietam "without it's Mistakes was re-
fought yesterday on the banks of the
Avon as part of the maneuvers of
the British army and was won by
sheer force of numbers by the side rep
resenting the northern army.
No larger force ever assembled on
Salisbury plain than appeared for this
sham battle. The umpire was Lieuten-
ant General Ian Hamilton, and among
those present were Minister of War
Haldane and John Burns, president Of
the local government board. Thirty
five thousand troops, regulars and vol
unteers, were engaged. Major General
Franklyn commanded the Northern
army and Brigadier General Allenby
the Southern army. General Frank
lyn's forces outnumbered those under
General Allen by two to one. The
operations lasted four hours.
General Hamilton, in delivering the
verdict and referring to several er-

Journal Special Service,

Journal Special Service.
Washington, Aug. 1o.-It has leaked
out that, for the first time in thirteen
years, the treasury department has re-
sumed the purchase of silver. The
movement has been going on quietly
for two months, unknown to the pub
lie, and large amounts Of silver have
been bought or have been contracted
for. The bullion is to be used for sub
sidiary coinage. Part of this is for
immediate and part for future delivery.
The purchases have been made at
the current market prices, sellers not
being aware the government was deal
ing in the market. The treasury Off
cials will not make any statement, but
news that purchases have been made is
from positive and unquestioned sources.
The amount bought is not disclosed,
but based on present coinage, about
100000 ounces year is needed for
subsidiary purposes and from 100000
to 100000 ounces approximately are
said to have been purchased.
The government has taken this meth
cd of buying to prevent being held. up
and made to pay exorbitant prices
when it buys openly.

ABOVE THE
 FORD

Copyright. 1906, bg K. 4. Whitehedd

Ludlow sat on the river bank, with the dogs head on his knee. He was very tirel and very much exasperated. He had left the survey camp immedj- ately oa receiving Gretchen's letter, telling of her arrival at the De Ia Rio ranch aL-i had thought to cover the hundred miles between camp and ranch easily but Indian river had risen inc. .,licably and Kywak refused to swim the ford, so now, within five miles of the ranch, 1t looked as If he would miss seeing Gretchen after all, for she did not expect him and her visit was htt q tree days affair.
 Therefore Ludlow sat behind huge rock which sheltered him somewhat from the raw wind, and while getting his breath alternately patted the head of the panting dog and shook his fist at the distant figure of a horse calmly grazing on buffalo grass.
 ''Ha..s it.' repeated Ludlow. "Hana 1t! thought Kywak had got over her foolishncss about fording. Was l

The Mystery of the Heavens.

It may belt is not quite impossible-th that the tiny star has since those days actually left off shin ing, but still we see it In our sky be- cause the rays which started while it yet shOne are arriving moment by mo- ment, telling us the story of what the star was like hundreds of years ago, before 1t parted with it's brightness. Perhaps, again, we are examining through large telescope a faint and faroff nebula "a mass of whirling gases the light of which has taken, say, 10000 years to get there. We see what the nebula was like in prehistoric ages. It may since then have lessened In size and changed in shape. It may now wear Il very different aspect, and men looking from earth 10000 years hence will be able to see what that nebula was like in our days. All these things help us to understand what the immensity of the stellar system is, and, yet more. to imagine dimly what the measurement and extent of al, creation must be if any such star sys- tems float side by side throughout the vast domains of space. - Chambers Jo,rnaI

The Art of Not Hearing.

The art of not hearing should be learned by all. There are so many things which It is painful to hear, very many of which if heard will disturb the temper, corrupt simplicity and modesty, detract from contentment and happiness. lf q man falls into violent passion and calls all manner of names Ut the first words we should shut cur ears and hear no more. If in a quiet voyage of life we find ourselves caught in one of those domestic whirl winds of scolding we should shut cur ears as d sailor would furl his sail and, making all tight, scud before the gale If a hot, restless man begins to infame our feelings We should consider What mischief the fiery sparks may do ia our magazine below, where our tempe is kept. and instantly close the door

 The dog looked up sympathetically The ninety-fiye miles of racing after Kywak had been nothing to his long boarhound legs, but this wild herding of single clever Indian pony for three hours had been little strenuous. He had done his best for his master. but when he was not allowed to catch flank or throat in powerful jaws how was he to hold horse? Bismarck was a boarhound not a collie.
 Ludlow glowered at the cheerless heaps of rocks that guarded either bank of the river.
 Ut is cold enough" he said, for the river to be frozen. Just my luck to have it twice as deep as usual. Well, Bismarck, old boy, see nothing for it but for you and me to leave kywak to her cussedness and swim the river. And I'll be fine sight to Gretchen aft CT two years. Oh, well, who knows whether she'll care or noti"

 He picked his way carefully over the rocks Indian river was always cold and always swift, but doubly so today. after the early winter rains. The day was bleak, with half promise of snow in the air The plains on the far side of the river were as dim and hopeless as the sky. AS he paused at point where there seemed promise of a shelv ing bank on either side Ludlow shiver ed and half turned back toward the impish kywak.
 "What's the use?" he murmured. Gretchen half refused me once She will probably wholly refuse me this time"
 He stood in silence with one hand on Bismarck head Then he strengthened himself with q jerk.
 .'No, old chap. he exclaimed. "We'H see her again or drown in the attempt Now, then, I've no way to get my clothes across except to swim in them. I'm not up to the Swiss Family Rob- tnson stunt of carrying them across on my head. I'll leave my overcoat with kyWak. Come on, old faithful"
 He removed his shoes and tied them about his neck by the laces and walked down the bank into the rushing water then stood still, With the water swirl ing about his knees. The current was much swifter than he had imagined 1t would be. However, the siver was mar row at this point, so he took a rcSolute step forward and plunged in above his depth
