CHOLERA CASES IN CsAR'S Do
MAIN ARE INCREASING
EVERY HOUR.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 21.--
The hospital situation has reached
crisis in regard to the numer of
cholera cases, which are increasing
hourly. obuchoff hospital. located in
the center of one of the worst dis
tricts, is turning away patients, and
Kalinkin hospital, opened September
1S, is already full. Two new hos
pitfalls will be opened Immediately.
The government has given the city
the use of dormitories in the techno-
logical institute and two military
barracks for housing patients in ordi-
nary illnesses. This makes more room
for cholera cases. The situation is
complicated by large number of
typhoid fever cases in the city.

spond. He stood upon the platform

a platform of such remarkable
soundness. He contended that If

port the passage Of such laws as
would inure to the credit of the peo-
pie of this state. George Summer
field then mounted the rostrum and
was given hearty applause. He re-
ferred to his record in the legislature
and gave the evidence of his having
introduced and worked for the pas
sage Of the Union label, which the
workingmen of this state desired. He
had always tried to do his duty as a
good citizen and was a heavy tax
payer in several counties throughout
the state. Charles Wonacott was
called for and said that he endorsed
the platform and would do the best
he could for the people if elected.
Phil Chandler promised to carry out
the various pledges made by the con-
,vention in the platform. He had
ever been Republican and his in
terests were in the state of Nevada
and he would endeavor to do the best
he could for his constituency.

The Republican county convention
met at the Miners Exchange hall
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock and
placed complete ticket in the field
to be voted for at the coming cleo
tion in November The meeting was
called to order by L. A. Gibbons,
chairman of the county central COM
mittee, while w. x. Wise acted in the
capacity OF secretary
Nominations for temporary chair
man being called for Senator T. L.
Oddie and T. l.. Moore were placed in
nomination. Senator Oddie in neat
speech referring to the many compli-
ments paid him in the past. asked
the delegates to accept his declina-
tion as he desired to occupy the floor.
The nomination of Mr.. Moore was
then made by acclamation.
AS Mr.. Moore took the platform he
was greeted with applause by the
delegates. He is gentleman of dis
tinguished appearance, a clean cut
and forcible talker, Thorough par
liamentarian and from the tap of the
gavel to the close of the convention
he was in complete control of the
body, according the same respect to
the delegates as that which was paid
him. His address was word of ad
vice to the delegates. He believed
and in fact knew that this was Re-
publican year The Republicans of
Nye county were alive to the oppor-
tunities presented and Nye county
would be in the Republican column
with large majority. The platform
must not contain dead issues-the is
sues of sixty years ago. He insisted
that the platform should be of such
a character that it could be placed
side by side with the platform adopt
ed by the late Democratic convention
and then draw the deadly parallel.
There would be no stradling or get
ting under cover for this convention.
He closed by appealing to the dele
gates to place none but good men on
the ticket.
Hrebert Clarke of Tonopah was
then selected by acclamation for the
position of secretary.
The following telegram was then
read from the Hon. P. L. Flanagan of
Reno:
'Nevada's prosperity, even with her
wonderful mines, depends largely
upon the prosperity of the nation at
large. We are recovering from a
financial crisis due to flaw in our
currency system, with the least evil
results which ever before attended
a financial panic, owing to the cour-
age and wisdom of our party in
power. When the news of Taft's cleo
tion is assured, there will be an in
dustrial awakening such as well
coined the administration of McKin-
ley. The farmer, miner, wage earn
er, business and professional man is
vitality interested, Nevada cannot af-
ford to be out of the Republican col
umn Reports from every country
show that the state which went for
Roosevelt will go for Taft.

family at dinner, but Bentz replied
hat he did not care for any, and
O'Brien then turned to the woman
Florence, and asked her what was
the matter with Bentz. "O'Brien." said
the woman, I'm not going to live with
him"
At her words Bentz came striding
out into the Kltchen with q revolver
in his hand Going behind the chair in
