SCENIC EFFECT SUBORDINATE.

DENVER. June 30.-A desperate effort
will be made to have a plank declaring In
favor of prohibition placed in the demo
cratic platform. The movement will be
headed by Gen. James B. Weaver OF
Iowa, who demanded Of the recent demo
cratic convention in that state that II
declare in favor Of prohibition. Gen
Weaver and his followers were not sue
cessful In their efforts in their own state
but not daunted by their failure have
made arrangements to bring the matter
up before the democratic national con-
vention. They claim, moreover, to have
strong backing from a number of dele
recently passed prohibition laws, and it is
declared confidently by Gen. Weaver
adherents that II the democratic national
plank it will be only for the reason that
the hardest kind of fighting has been un-
able to secure its adoption.
The Anti-Injunction Plank.
It is now generally believed that the
anti-injunction resolution will not provide
for trials by jury in cases Of contempt OF
court, or favor in any way measures
which might be construed as interfering
with the prerogatives of the federal
courts.
The friends Of Mr. Bryan say that
such Of his critics as are already express
ing themselves in fear of a radical anti
, injunction plank are fighting the air. The
plank has not yet been written: 1t has
not been drafted, and it's form is still a
matter which is under deep and careful
consideration. 1t is said to be the desire
of Mr.. Bryan to consult as many of the
prominent members of the party as IL
possible before any decisive action in for
mulating this resolution is taken.
Few Seats In Contest.
Notice was today received by the ma
tional committee that the seats of the en-
tire delegation from Idaho will be con.

Seating Capacity Increased.
The committee on convention arrange
ments paid a visit yesterday to the audi
torium which was pregnant in results
as far as increasing the seating capacity
OF the hall Is concerned. but which
brought woe to Architect Wilson. That
the beauty and finished character Of his
work. had arranged the seating capacity
In such way as to produce the most
pleasing effect on the eye Of the specta-
TOR. In SO doing. however, he had left
considerable amount of vacant floor
space. much Of which was an extra width
given to the aisles. When the mem
bers OF the committee visited the hall
their eyes at once fastened upon this
extent Of empty floor. and Roger c. Sui
livan Of Illinois at once asked if more
chairs could not be placed.
1T would injufe the scenic effect"
replied Architect Wilson.
Mr.. Sullivan. in y single energetic
what the. committee desired was seats.

scenic effect could take its chances or
betake itself to any place it chose to go.
The other members of the committee.
whose lives are made burden by the
unceasing demand for tickets, cordially
supported the criticisms and contentious
Of Mr. Sullivan. and the net result was
that the seating capacity of the hall was
at once increased from the original num-
Der of 11,538 to mora than Il. TOO The
members Of the committee are now
porting over blue prints in the effort
to see If they cannot still further in
crease the possible number Of admis-
siOns.
The alterations suggested also resulted
In allowing seventy-f1ve additional seats
for members of the press.

sufferers from kidney trouble as
used them with the best of results.
Pains across my back annoyed me
for long time and would be so
stiff and lame in the morning that
could hardly get out of bed. also
had frequent dizzy spells sometimes
so severe that | would nearly fall 10

FREE HIGH SCHOOL FOR wABENo

/ The question of establishing a
Free High School for the town
of Wabeno will be submitted to a
vote at the coming election.
The establishment of such a
high school will impose no ad-
ditional expense upon the tax
payers as the school will be es-
tablished in connection with the
Wabeno Graded School and the
same force of teachers will serve
both the graded and the high
school. Indeed the School ex-
pense of the town will be con-
siderably lessened if the high
school is secured as the state will
then pay half of the salaries of
the high school teachers.
We are already furnishing in
struc tion ia the first two years of
high school work and next year
there will doubtless be classes in
the first three years Of high
school.
By organizing our high school
in accordance with the Free
High School law we shall OBJ
tain:
1. Substantial financial aid.
2. Definite supervision from
the state department through
the State High School Inspect
ors.
3. A recognized stan d in g
among the high schools of the
state.
4. A complete public school
system that will fit our children
either for the ordinary duties of
life or for entrance upon College
or University work.
We believe that this movement
will receive an unanimous sup
port from the voters of the town.
