Amid Great Confusion Ferris was Nom
mated and the Convention
Adjourned

Stormy scenes marked the close Of
the convention which nominated Mr..
Scott Ferris Of Lawton. as the demo-
cratic candidate for congress for the
fifth congressional district. Ferris
was nominated on the first ballot af-
ter the convention convened yesterday
afternoon, the solid Bond strength Of
SO votes being thrown 70 him giving
him lis votes, the exact number re-
quired to nominate. Weaver had 98
votes and Massingale Is on the last
ballot Amid pandemonium that
broke loose the Weaver forces raised
protest and after the convention adj
journed assembled, reorganized the
convention with the remnant Of dele
gates, claiming irregularities in the
proceedings, and nominated Weaver.
The Oklahoman this morning rsb-
lished strictly Weaver account Of
the proceedings which was grossly
misleading. The nomination Of Fer
ris was perfectly regular and there
are no grounds for the charges Of
fraud made by the Weaver contingent.
When the roll was called for the last
ballot, Grady county with her 10
votes was the first to break to Fer
ris. When Cleveland county was call
ed and the vote cast for Ferris, one
Of the delegates from that county
claimed the right 10 vote for Weaver,
but the instructions Of the delegation
we're read, calling for the unit rule
on all questions. and the chair ruled
that the instructions held good. The
same thing occurred on the Mcclain
county vote. Greer county voted for
Weaver but four 81 the delegates were
for Ferris and they claimed the right
to vote for him. but, the delegation be-
ing under the unit rule. the chair ng-
ain ruled as in the case Of the other

Il am not surprised at the action
Of the Weaver forces 1t had been
reported among the delegates since

AIgsr Melton Tells the Straight Story
No Grounds for Weaver's
Wall


Referring to the contention Of Mr.
Claude Weaver and the account Of
the convention in today's Oklahoman,
Alger Melton said this morning:
"The nomination Of Ferris was fair
ly made. The counties voting for him
were as follows; PottI 16, c5manche
20, Jackson II, ,Kiowa Is, Grady 49,,
Cleveland Is, McLain 10, making a to-
tai Of 115 votes.
"While the roll was being called
one delegate from Cleveland county
and one delegate from McLlain coun-
ty challenged the vote claiming that
the unit rule did not obtain after Bond
had withdrawn. Greer county voted
for Weaver and two delegates claim
ing they held proxies from Greer held
that if the unit rule did not obtain
they We're not bound and requested
that their votes be counted for Fer
ris.
sThe chairman held that under the
unit rule the delegations were requir-
ed to vote as unit on all questions.
and the vote was SO recorded. The del
gate from McLain county who chall-
4 enged the vote Of that county for Fer
ris appealed from the decision Of the
chair and on such appeal the decision
Of the chair was unanimously sus
tanned.

KOREA STILL REsELLlous.
The Hostility to Japan Was Empna- sized Tn Peculiar Manner by
 an Educator.

Seoul, Korea. July l, via Tokio, July 5.--At demonstration in cele- bration or the return of Prince Pax Ton Ho, a reformer and the most forcible of living Korean statesmen, who after twelve years exile, was fortnight ago welcomed by the em. peror as a possible Korean sa- vior, Chang Chain Ong, an educator, killed himself in the presence of 800 people to emphasize the subjection of Korea to Japan.
 Though administrative conditions have steadily improved the past six months, the suicide of Chung Chain Ong In public, also the recent assas- sination of member of the cabinet for his connection in the signing of the suzeraInty protocol and other evidence shows that Korean hostil ity to Japan is wholly unchanged. Marquis Ito's success in Korea is due solely to Japanese energy. No Korean has yet voluntarily partici- pated in the Japanese administration and no Korean statesman has yet consented to cooperate in Japan's programme.

BEER RECEIVERS TO REPORT.
The Breweries Want to Know Just What the Costs Are in Kansas
 Up to Date.

Topeka, July 5.-The question of al lowing s13.500 in fees to the receivers of the brewery companies was not de cided by the supreme court Wednes- day It will come up again Friday When the cases were called Charles Blood Smith, representing the An heuser-Busch Brewing association, asked that the case be not heard until the receivers had made complete re- port of all they had accomplished to date.
 Only incomplete reports have been made thus far The company asked that the full report be made so that it would be able to tell just how much the costs were. Under the order of the court in deciding the case the company has the privilege of paying all the costs and fees, removing it's personal property and selling it's real estate and leaving the state. MT. Smith said that the company might not appeal It's case if the matter of costs and the sale of the property could be arranged. The receivers will have their report Friday morning.

'uVE STOCK F|GHI EN||S
The Kansas City Packers Agree to Waive Post Mortem Rule on all
 But Dairy Cows.
GREAT VICTORY FOR COMMISSION MEN
The Agreement Was Reached After Three-Hour confere nee at Kan sas City Between Representatives of Packers and Commission Men Will be National in Effect.

Kansas City, Mo, July 5.-The packers Wednesday agreed to waive the post mortemv rule on all cattle bought in the Kansas City market, except dairy cows. The commission men regard this as com plete victory, as there are practically no dairy cows sold in this market.
 Committees representing the pack CTS and the Live Stock exchange held a conference Wednesday afternoon which lasted more than three hours. The meeting finally resulted in the surrender of the packers. c. w. Ar mour represented the Armour Pack ing company, D. A. Hartwell, of cago, represented Swift X Company, of which he Is treasurer, and s. H. Hymer, of Chicago, represented cse Morris Packing company. J. c. Swift Charles Dixon, l.. A. Lennon, Frank Cooper. J. W. Farrar and R. w. Nc Crpskey composed the Live Stock ex- changes committee.
 The agreement reached here prob ably will he ratified in few days by the National Live Stock exchange of Chicago and will then apply to 9 markets There may be some ob- jrction in Chicago to the rule makin dairy cows subject to post mortem ex- animation. as most of the dairy cows come from Wisconsin and Minnesota, and are sold in the Chicago market.
 'The packers conceded everything, as far as Kansas City is concerned, said Charles Dixon, of Dixon Bros. Commission company, Thursday. There was little trouble at the con ference. the packers seeming willing to come to an agreement. If the 'post-mortem rule had been in force 90 days longer I believe the commis- sion men would have been able to ge along without she sales, and not have felt the losss. There are 150 small slaughter houses in the Kansas City territory, and before long they would have been able to take every thing We offered.
 it iS DlObdDiE tl1uN tht dntAs WI" rule will be stricken out of the agree ment in Chicago. I understand the Chicago commission men are against it, and do not think the packers will stand out against them"
 The "post-mortem- rule, to which t,.S~ -So..4.nrssion men and producers objected, was put into effect six weeks ago. It provided that the con demnation of cattle by the packers should be determined after they were slaughtered. This was considered by the commission men to be unfair They wanted inspection on the hoof. Because of this rule the Kansas City commission men have refused to sell to the packers since it was put into effect.

The conareaatIon.

There is tiny church near the foot of one of the Western Grampians which has a congregation numbering, in the best of weather, not more than 20 people. On stormy days the mum Der is much less, as members have to travel considerable distances. A tour ist happened to come across this church early one Sunday afternoon. He listened for bit, but heard no sound. so went to the door of the church and looked in. The beadle was the only occupant. 'Is the service over?" he asked. "Ou ay, she will pc over replied the old man. Then. where is the congregation ?" asked the tourist. The beadle slowly pointed through the open door to man wend- ing his way down hill and said.

TURNED OUT sy NATURE.
Many Things of Use That the old
 Dame Manufactures.

Nature Is something of manufac- turer herself In the case of certain cactus marvellous natural pottery is produced Woodpeckers excayate nests in the trunk and branches, and to protect itself the plant exudes sticky juice. which hardens, forming a woody lining to the holes made by the birds Eventually the cactus dies and withers away, but the wooden bowls remain. As a weaver nature also pro duces fine work Certain tree barks and leaves furnish excellent cloth. as. for instant. the famous tapa cloth used in the South sea islands. Nature Is a glass-maker, too. By discharging her lightning into beds of quartz sand she forms exquisite little pipes of glass. She makes valuable ropes of various kinds in the shape of tropical vines and creepers. and she is even a lace maker, as witness the lace tree of the West Indies.-Indian Review.

MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Se- rious Consequences of Neg Iect.

"Fix me up something to knock the malaria, doctor" remarked sallow- faced, sickly looking man, entering a y-cminent physician's office the other .sy.
 The doctor stepped to his medicine case, took down couple of bottles, mixed a preparation which he handed to the patient with the customary advice to shake well and follow directions and resumed his seat.
 "Such cases are frequent, ," replied the doctor in answer to question. "The warm days and damp, chilly nights are certain malaria breeders and are most serious in those who have neglected to keep their stomach, liver and bowels in good condition. Such persons are full of the impurities on which the malarial germ thrives, and 1t is from this class that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim most of their victims whenever these dis eases are prevalent.
 The proper way to guard against the nalarial germ and the serious diseases which follow it is to get into good condi- ton by taking a reliable remedy that will keep the bowels clear and the liver healthy, and to continue with 1t at ire quent intervals during the sickly season.
 A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or four times week will do all of this, be- sides stimulating the digestion, improv. ing the appetite and keeping the bodily energy at the highest pitch.
 Prickly Ash Bitters is known every where as a system tonic and bowel regu- iator. It not only removes all traces of malarial poison from the system, but tones up the vital organs, gives new strength and vigor, makes the body strong and the brain active.
 'Prickiy Ash Bitters Is the best ail-around medicine for the family ever used. During the past ten years have always kept it iu my house Whenever any of my family show signs of maia- iia, kidney trouble, indigestion or Constipation few doses Is all that is needed to make them tickcriug, La.

There is strong trait of jealousy in dogs nature. A story is told of a Birmingham dog that had been a great pet in the family until the baby came. There was suspicion that he was jealous, but he could not be de- tected in any disrespect to the new conner. It always happened, however. that when the dog was left alone with the baby the baby began to cry No signs of trouble were ever to be seen upon entering the room, and the dog was always found sleeping peacefully before the fire. Finally one day a peep through the keyhoie disclosed the canine rubbing his cold wet nose up and down the baby's baek.-outing Magazine.
