A PRIMARY PROBLEM.
South Dakota Convention confrontsd
by Difficult Situation.

w SbhtS0s6 SisN&stONs
pierre, s. D., June 3O.-The repub-
lican convention at Mitchell on the 14th
of July, which under the provisions Of
the primary election law, was ex-
pected to be somewhat of a perfunctory
gather, now has a problem of diff
ferent character before 1t thru the
death of Congressman W. n. Parker. A
successor will have to be selected for
the vacancy caused by his death, and
the convention will no doubt be called
upon to pass to certain extent upon
the manner Of selecting a nominee to
be placed upon special ballot, which
will be presented to the voters at a
special election which will be without
doubt called upon the same date as the
general election in November.
While section 70 Of the primary
election law without doubt specifically
provides for the nomination Of candi-
rates in such case thru the workings
of the primary election law itself, and
takes such selection out Of the hands
Of the convention. the party leaders
gathered at that time will be called
upon to express their views as to the
manner Of selection of nominee. II
the party were united such q move
would be an easy one, as the conven-
ton would very likely decide to allow
an agreed name to go on the special
ballot by petition, and the provisions
of the primary could be avoided. Such
a selection would naturally be Charles
III. Burke, VINO received the highest
vote of apv of tha candidates for con-
gress in the primary election on the
9th Of this month. But with factional
differences in the party such a move
will probably be opposed.
The insurgents will probably have
control Of the convention, as they car
ried the largest number of counties;
but as the state delegations are split
in many Of the counties thru the in
dividual preferences Of the voters in
casting their ballots for personal
friends, just who will have control
Is yet a question.

SLAIN BY POISONED ALE.
Philadelphia Physician the Victim Of
Enemy Supposed to Be Q Woman.

Philadelphia Physician The Victim Of
Enemy Supposed to Be Woman.
Philadelphia, Pa. June 80 Cyanide
Of potassium, which had BEEN placed
with fiendish cunning In the ale he
slipped at dinner shortly before he was
fatally stricken caused the death Of DR..
William H Wilson, Of S1s North Sew
enth street. The details Of an amazing
crime were established late today by
the coroner's office and the police.
The bottle which contained the death
dealing beverage had been sent by ex-
press to the physicianS house three
days before he opened It, by man
and woman, the police assert, who,
actuated by revenge and hatred, de-
liberately plotted to destroy him, his
wife, and his beautiful 5-yoar-Old
daughter, Vera.
To throw their victim OF his guard,
the couple suspected Of having MUIR
dered him previously sent fraudulent
circular letter signed by a well known
Philadelphia brewing firm In which It
was stated that a bottle Of ale valuable
for its medicinal properties was being
forwarded to him as to other members
Of the profession In the hope he and
they might prescribe It to their pa
tients.
The coroner's Office and police at
once discovered that the brewing Arm,
the Schemm company, whose nams
was used by the murderers, not only
does not brew ale. but does not use
the form of circular DR.. Wilson re-
ceived
So carefully did the plotters lay
their plans to kill the physician that
they had the name Of the brewing
firm printed on sheet Of paper and
then used typewriter to fill out the
circular letter which they addressed
to DR.. Wilson.
The motive for the murder was as
strange as the method used to accom-
plish it. DIR. Wilson, according to the
police, had, besides his large and rep
utable practice, an irregular and secret
clientele. Some Of the richest and best
known women Of Philadelphia are
said to have been his patients. The
belief Of the police Is that the woman
Of the couple suspected told her hus-
band Of the operation performed and
in a rage the husband plotted to de-
stroy the physician's family, forcing
her to take part in the plot.
The boy who delivered the bottle "a
DR.. Wilson's house and the exprsss
office from which he was sent have
been located. The police have good
description OF man and woman who
left bottle at the express Office and
directed it be delivered at the phy-
sician,s residence at once, and the de.
scription has been recognized.
