CHEER BRYAN'S NAME
Illinois Delegates Apparently in Mood
to Endorse Nebraskan for President
No Matter What Outcome Of the
Fight On Sullivan.

Peoria, Aug. 21.-1The democratic
state convention met today for the
purpose of nominating candidates for
the state treasury, superintendent of
public instruction, and three univer-
sity trustees. In reality, however, the
convention is more of fight for con-
troll of the state party machinery be-
tween the factions headed by National
Committeeman Sullivan and the imme-
date followers of William j. Bryan
1t was 1880 when State Chairman
Bosechenstein called the delegates to
order. In replying to Mayor Tolson's
address of welcome, j. u. Terrin, Of
Bellville, predicted there would be no
discordant vote in the convention. The
delegates received this with an out
burst of cheers. Judge Carrell Boggs.
of Fairfield, and Edward Cahill, of
Springfield, were selected as chairman
and secretary, respectively. Boggs re-
ceived 1884 and Congressman Rainey
SO. Boggs upon assuming the chair.
plause. He promised all delegates
should have an equal opportunity to be
heard and that roll call would be
granted when asked for.
Among the business that will come
before the permanent organization Of
this convention continued Boggs,
the chair hopes, will be endorsement
of that native son of Illinois, that
great commoner, William Jennings
Bryan" Amid loud applause at the
name of Bryan, which closed his
speech, the chairman announced that
the convention was ready for transac-
ton of business. The motion that all
resolutions be referred to the commits
tee on resolutions without debate,
caused a furry, which was finally al
layed by Congressman Rainey, who as
sured the convention ample opportun-
ity would be given for debate on all
resolutions. At 1:40 the convention
took a recess.

NAVY PROBES NEW SCANDAL.
Court Martial Of Lieutenant Dunn
Nav be First of Manv.

Vallejo, Cal, Aug. 21-It seems like
ly that the court martial of Lieuten-
ant Dunn at Mare Island Is only the
beginning of a series of sensational
trials at the navy yard. The evidence
so far presented in the case Of Dunn
shows that for months drunken revel-
ries have been of common occurrence
at the yard, and on the receiving ship.
1t is freely asserted by some of the
officers that the arrest and trial of
Dunn are the result Of jealousy. It
has been learned that the navy de-
partment has ordered thorough in
vestigation of the scandal and the pun
ishment of the guilty.

100000 More Trees.

The Bagley-Gober Co.'S. peach
orchard, two or three miles north of
Americas and already one of the
largest and finest young orchards in

'chard Co.
After looking over their splendid

determined to increase it to the ex-

orchard a total acreage of 1900.
One hundred thousand additional
trees will be planted this fall,
bringing the total number of Sc
lected peach trees to near 400 00.-

She will permit her woman colo

colony. She will endeavor to obtain
from the Texas legislature permits
sion for women to exercise the right
of suffrage in her colony, and all

IRemember, I Remember.

/ remember, | remember
The house where l was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn.
He never came a wink too soon,
Nor brought too long day;
But how I often wish the night
Had borne my breath away!
l remember, / remember
The roses, red and white,
The violets and the lilly-cups-
Those flowers made of light!
The lilacs where the robin built,
And where my brother set
The laburnum on his birthday
The tree is living yet!
l remember, remember
Where / used to swing,
And tho the air must rush as fresh
To swallows on the wing;
Ny spirit few in feathers then,
That is so heavy now,
And summer pools could hardly cool
The fever on my browi
I remember, / remember
The fir trees dark and high;
l used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky.
1t was childish ignorance,
But now tbs little joy
To know I'm further off from heaven
Than when / was a boy.
