At POPULIST MEET
EFFORT OF COMMONER'S MEN
TO ADJOURN TEMPORARILY
IS A FAILURE,
THREAT TO BOLT SESSION
HURLED At COMMITTEES
Nevertheless, Convention Opens in 9t.
Louis, J. s. coxey Being Selected
as Chairman-Each State to Be
Represented on Committees.

St. Louis, Apr. 3.-The Populist ma
tional convention, which was called for
Thursday, was somewhat behind in
commencing proceedings. The chief
cause of this was the renewed efforts
of the Bryan men to secure an agree
ment for an adjournment until after
the Republican and Democratic con-
ventions. They made strong argu-
ments before the members of the ma
tional committee and also before the
committee on credentials, but with no
apparent effect save to delay the pro-
ceedings. They backed up their de-
mands for an adjournment by the
claims that some of the delegates pres.
ent had been improperly chosen and
that the entire call for the convention
was illegal.
Watson Men Are Firm.
They cited the case of Pennsylvania,
which has 70 votes in the convention,
while Watson in 1904 did not receive
q single vote in the state. Other al
legged inequalities in the system of
representation were mentioned, but
the Watson men stood firm and re-
fused to listen to any proposition for
an adjournment. The determination
of Nebraska, Minnesota and Michigan
to bolt the convention if the program
of making nominations is carried out
was unaltered Thursday. E. A. Wal
rath, secretary of the Nebraska state
central committee, said: I'VE do not
propose to be trampled on and we are
going to fight for our rights. We
claim to represent more simon-pure
Populists than any other state. We
will not be party to any nominations,
and If they are made, and if an ad-
journment is not taken, we will leave
the convention"
Three Hundred Delegates Present.
The convention came to order at
last, about 900 delegates being pres
ent. After an invocation by Rev.
Thomas WadswOrth of Indiana, the
formal proceedings were begun by
James H. Ferris of Joliet, the chair
man of the national committee. Fol-
lowing the address of Mr.. Ferris, ia

Doing Him a Favor.

S''9 Sbsb q
A famous pianist, while strolling in
the country, came upon an inviting
tavern. Being thirsty, he entered, and
ordered glass of beer. As he was
about to raise the glass of refreshing
beverage to his lips he spied a piano
In the next room. Releasing his glass
without touching its contents, the
artist stepped into the piano room, sat
down before his favorite instrument
and, being in the mood, began to pour
out his feelings in soul-stirring melody.
Just as he was in the midst of his
inspiration, a gruff voice in his ear
stopped him abruptly. Looking up in
surprise and indignation, the pianist
beheld the bartender standing over
him with a glass of beer in his hand.
Say, mister" the server said, earn
estly, "here's your beer; it's gittin'
fat!"- illustrated Sunday Magazine.

Hem the Ends Of a Veil.

Az rule it is no easy matter to
hem a veil, as the flimsy ends have
a most provoking way Of slipping out
Of the fingers and from under the
needle. It is really easy, however, II
done in this manner: Basic an inch
hem In each end of the veil and then
haste piece of paper under the hens.
When this is done, stitch the hens on
the sewing machine through the pa
per. The paper then may be carefully
torn of. The veil should be pressed
with warm iron and special attonr
ton given to tho beme.

Reopen Red River Lands.

ssSSPoss ssO0 e0s0os
Washington.-Representative Stee-
nerson has secured favorable report
on his bill to restore to entry and
settlement q large tract of coded Red
Lake land which was withdrawn two
years ago pending investigation, with
. view to the establishment of drain
age works thereon. The investigation
was made, and it was found that re-
elimination by drainage would cost
more than 81, 000, 900, which congress
was not disposed to provide at this
time, even though the appropriation is
made reimbursable from the sale of
reclaimed land.
There has been . demand from that
section for the reopening of this land,
some of which can be cultivated with
out drainage, and the bill was intro
duced in response to that demand.
It provides for payment in accord
ance with the terms of the Red Lake
treaty, with the addition of cents an
acre, to cover the cost of the drainage
survey.

include the Schuman Carnival. a Con.

He Is also greatly gifted as a. violInist.
He began his studies while yet too
