The Nomination Made Unani-
nous After Roll Call Had
Been Completed.
4 CRAU DEMONSTRATION
Following the Announcement Of the
Nomination OF Bryan a Mighty
Cheer Went Up from the
Vast Multitude.

Denver, Colo, July 10.-William
jennings Bryan for president of the
United States, on platform which
pleases the leader of the ticket, and
which is declared to be such that all
former factions of the party are re-
united, and will make a memorable
campaign, were the two results of
the night session of the national
democratic convention early this
morning. Ignatius Dunn of Omaha
nominated Mr.. Bryan and great
demonstration followed.
The roll call was concluded at
3:40 the vote was S62 IL for Bry-
an. Before the full result could be
announced Minnesota and Delaware
and Georgia moved that the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Bryan be made unani-
nous, which was done with whoops.
Another tremendous demonstration
followed the announcement. AT 4
O'Clock the convention adjourned.
The total vote: Bryan S92 1-2

Dallas, Texas, July 10.-Dallas to-

JOY who will be here in droves of
thousands within the next few days,
attracted by the annual national as
semblage of the Benevolent and Pro-

good to the enthusiastic people Of
the North Texas metropolis and they
are preparing to make next weeks

fixed up a few high jinks that will

Already the streets of Dallas have
taken on a purple and white tint, in
honor of the visitors, and the work
of decorating has been well nigh
completed. Only few finishing

the people great dissatisfaction with
the record of the thirtieth legisla-
ture and the position of our present
governor. Whether this protest
against the policy of the administra-
ton Is justified or not is not my pro-
vince at this time to say, the record
is made and every man should decide
for himself. The cry went up not
from the politicians, but from the
people; Give us another candidate
for governor" Every prominent pub
lie man in the state had aligned him
self on one side or the other of the
Bailey controversy, or taking it for
granted that the people could not be
induced to break the two-term pre-
cedent were afraid to get in the field
A short time before it was too late
to get on the ticket, there appeared
in the papers about a stick and a
half article stating that R. R. Will
liams of Cumby, a mechanic a JUS
tice of the peace and an ex-member
of the legislature had decided to
make the race for governor. 1t was
looked upon rather as joke at first
and 1t was supposed that Williams
was some old fellow in his dotage
surcharged with more zeal than dis
cretion. Many have visited him and
newspaper readers know what they
have said. Believing that I could
learn something that would be of in
terest to the readers of this paper
by visiting Mr. Williams, l boarded

LIGHTNING STRIKES HOUSE.
FIRE Starts and the Building Is
Completely Destroyed.


During the rain storm Thursday
afternoon a small house in Bullard
Heights, owned by B. r. Moffett and
occupied by man named Humph-
reys. was struck by a bolt of light
ming. hre was started and the
building, together with nearly all itx
contents, was completely destroyed.
Mr.. Humphreys works at the flour
mill at night and was at home asleeI
when lightning struck the kitchen. A
five gallon can Of oil WAS shattered
by the bolt and the oil scattered
over the room. Ignition was fnstan-
taneous and in a few minutes the
building was In flames. The fire de-
partment responded to the alarm,
but could not reach the building in
time to save it from destruction. The
total loss is estimated at about ST.

to the inner voice of the soul which
is conscience. In 2:1e-20 we are told
that we are regenerate In Christ also
in order that we may become tenn
pies In which God may dwell. Every
christian is temple He is intended
to be the dwelling place of God.
We should offer clean temples for
the ,habitation of God All unclean
and filthy habits should not be in
dulged in for they defile the temple
OF GOD. We must also notice in pass
ing that, according to chapter 2:20-
II. Not only Is the individual chris
tian a temple, but the congregation
OF christians Is a temple Each chris
tian as living stone is used in the
formation of one larger temple in
which God dwells. This being so, the
church aggregation of believers thus
forming a dwelling place for God
must also be kept clean and pure,
not only from that which is in itself
sinful but from that which although
legitimate in its proper place is pro-
fame when exercised in sacred
place. We need to recall that the
Master, when here upon the earth
had to cleanse the temple from GER
tain business enterprises which legi-
innate enough outside were utterly
profane within the limits of the
temple. Is there not a need today of
similar cleansing? Have we not
turned the house of God into a busi-
ness emporium with our sales and
bazaars, into great big eating house
with our oyster and turkey suppers?
Let us away with these things. If the
church would realize her stewardship
and give of her means accordingly
such unnecessary means of money
raising would not only be done away
with, but held forever beneath the
dignity of men and women who pro-
fess to believe in a God who says

2:20-21. Not only is the individual
temple of God; not only is the ag-
