DEMOCRATIC
 CONVENTION Bryan Nominated on First Ballot. Kern of Indiana for Vice
 President

For President-W Wn. J. Bryan, of Nebraska.
 For Niee-President-John N. Kern, of Indiana.
 For some time 1t has been known that Bryan would be nom- mated for president by the Dem- ocratic national convention, and the expected happened Friday morning at $40 o'clock after all all night session oI tIe conVeu- ton. It oalF took ole ballot to do the busness. Bryan receiving s92 votes, Gray of Delaware 595 and Johnson Of Minnesota 46. Gray received the entire vote of Delaware and New Jersey and a portion of the votes of Georgia and Pennsylvania. John son received the entire vote of Minnesota and portion of the votes of Connecticut, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, New Hamshire Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. New York's 7S votes were cast for Bryan.
 Mr. Bryans name was form
 
 ally presented to the convention by 1gnatlus Dunn, of Omaha, Nebraska. After the result of the roll call was announced a mo- ton was carried 10 make the nomination of Bryan unanimous, there being one dissenting vote, that of one of the Georgia dele gates.
 The convention adjourned at daylight until p. IT,, when It reconvened for the nomination of of d candidate for vice-preSident. Four names were presented, John W. Kern of Indiana, Charles \. Towne of New York. Archibald McNeil of Connecticut and Clark Howell of Georgia. Soon after the balloting began 1t was found that Kern was going to be the choice of the convention, and one after another the names of the other gentlemen were withdrawn and Kern received the nomina- ton by exclamation.
 At 4:50 P. Ill. Friday the con- yention adjourned sine die
 John Worth Kern, the nominee for vice-president, is practically unknown outside of his own state, but his nomination appears to be entirely satisfactory, other wise he would not have been nominated. He was born in Howard County, Indiana, Deeem- Der 20, 1S49, and he IS at present a resident of Indianapolis where he IS engaged in the practice of law. He was state senator from 1892 to 1890, and city attor- ney of Indianapolis from 1897 to 1901. He was the unsuccessful candidate for governor on the Democratic ticket in 1900 and again Ill 1904, and in 1905 re- ceived the complimentary vote of the Democratic members of the general assembly for United States Senator. Mr. Kern has a wife and three children, the old est child being daughter, Miss Miss Julia. The other children are John w. Kern, Jr., aged 9, and William, years of age.
 The platform adopted comes out squarely on every issue, and from an exchange We take the following eondensation:-
 Of most importance perhaps are the labor blanks, which con tam practically all the labor lead CTS demanded. While upholding the dignity and rights of the courts, the platform declares for limitation of their power to issue injunctions in labor disputes. It

The contract for the erection of the Government building at Fayetteville was let recently, but notice was received by the contractors last week that no building would be erected at pres ent, and their bid had been de- clared off. The reason assigned is that the last congress made an additional appropriation for the building, increasing the amount from S50,000 to So0, 1000, and 1t would be necessary to advertise for new bids. Fayetteville can afford to wait awhile longer, If by so doing she gets better building.

American EdueatIonaI Met hod,.

Here Is another tribute to the value
OF American educational meth DDS. In
paper read by Sir William Henry
Preece. formerly president OF the In
stitution OF Civil Engineers, before the
Royal Society OF Arts in Lon don, the
speaker mentioned the Difficult ty II not
impossibility OF making cor lparisoh
between English and America meth
DDS. owing to the fact that the Ameri.
can boy possesses the eneri; " and
smartness OF new race; tn Euro
pean boy mentally Is two years behind
him." This explained the differ ence n
curricula and examination papers.
But II Is American adaptation o these
different conditions which accou nts for
the success OF educational iethods
here. Sun further testimony to the
efficacy OF American ideas is found In
the proposition from Germany that the
conversational style OF teaching Ian.

LARGE SUM At STAKE
UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO AP.
PEALS CASE TO THE SU.
PREME COURT.

Denver.-The highest tribunal In the
state will decide whether a legacy left
to a state institution is immune from
paying an inheritance tax. An appeal
has been taken to the Su-
preme court by the regents OF the
University OF Colorado from the ruling
Of Judge Garrigues Of the District Court
of Boulder, which held that the state
could collect sl3,036.70 as inheritance
tax from the bequest OF $2l7,21O left
the university by the late Andrew J.
Mackey OF Boulder
Attorney General Dickson contends
that the university is charitable insti-
tuition in a sense and for the state TO
waive right TO the tax would virtually
be the same as appropriatinS money
to the college, power which belongs
to the Legislature alone. Judge Gar
rigues upheld this contention.
