ED BY HER AFFINITY THEY

About five months ago, according to
Chief Bailey of the police, George Nc
kinstry came to the home of William
Hoover in Benton Heights and asked
to be taken in as a boarder. He had
no money but out of sympathy Hoover
took him in. McKinstry, according to
Chief Bailey, repaid Hoover for his
kindness by alternating the affections
of Mrs. Hoover, who, the police aver,
eventually left her husband and seven
children to live with McKinstry as
his wife.

morning.
McKinstry and Mrs Hoover were
arraigned in the city court each charg-

of not guilty and asked the hearing
of their case be postponed until they

prepare themselves for trial
Chief Bailey states that after Nc
Kinstry left the Hoover home Mrs.
Hoover went to the home of a Mrs.
Stakebake to be nursed for an ailment
from which she had been suffering.
He states that McKinstry then rented
room at the Stakebake home. When
Mr. Hoover learned of this he com
planned to the police who ordered Nc
k1nstry to leave. 1t is stated that
when he left, Mrs Hoover went with
him and her husband lost all trace of
her until just few days ago.
He then learned that she was living
with McKinstry at the home of Harvey
Sego, north of the city. The couple

NOTIFICATION IN CHICAGO.
Bryan and Kern May be Told of Nom
ination There.

Denver, July 14.-William ]. Bryan
and John w. Kern in all probability
will be formally notified of their nom
ination for president and vice presi
dent of the United States at the Celi
scum in Chicago shortly after Aug. 1
There is strong sentiment among
the members of the national commit
tee for such program, with the in
tention of making it the greatest cam
paign meeting on record
Roger Sullivan is instrumental in
urging demonstration of this kind in
connection with the official declara
ton of the two nominees of the action
of the late convention and has agreed
to produce the biggest crowd that can
be jammed into the Coliseum, provid
ed the tentative plans of the national
committee are ratified by Mr. Bryan
and Mr.. Kern at Lincoln today.
Great Meeting Promised.
If the notification is to be made al
Chicago, democrats from all over the
middle west will be expected to attend
and an even greater meeting than was
that at Madison Square Garden in
1900 is prophesied.

Alleged They Promised Him to
Ask Relief From Govern
ment inspection.
STOLE is THE SUFFERER.
HE HAS NO INSPECTOR. WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF CITY Off.
CIAL AT HIS PLACE AND APPAR-
ENTITY CAN'T GET ANOTHER.

This morning City Attorney T. J.
Study stated that he did not know
whether the government would restore
federal inspection to the butchering
establishment of Stole e Son He said
that Mr.. Stole had informed him that
he had asked to have the government
inspection withdrawn from his estab-
lishment, because he had been the vic
tim of conspiracy formed against
him by other local butchers not en-
gagged in interstate business.
The city attorney said that Mr..
Stole had informed him that these
butchers had come to him with a prop
osition to have all butchering estab-
lishments in the city, with the excep-
ton of the Richmond Abattoir apply
to the Agricultural department at
Washington to be relieved of federal
inspection. Mr.. Study stated that
Stole had informed him these butch
ers suggested that Stole & Son should
first apply for relief and that in the
event the government acted favor.
ably upon his application all the
other butchering establishments would
act in similar manner.
Mr.. Stole agreed to this PROPOSE
ton, Mr.. Study stated. and the gov
ernment at once withdrew federal in
spection from his establishment, but
the other butchers failed to live up
to their agreement, forwarding no SIM
liar applications as promised. Mr..
Stole, according to Mr.. Study. has lost
considerable business as a result OF
the action he took. because many con-
sumers refuse to use any meat that is
not inspected by representatives of The
government.
Il feel sorry for Mr.. Stolle. but he
should not have been such an easy
victim" said Mr.. Study. He said that
he had done everything possible to
have federal inspection restored to
the Stolle & Son butchering establish
ment, but that up to the present time
his efforts had been unsuccessful.
Its up to the Federal Inspector Wag.
oner. | don't know whether he will be
able to have federal inspection re-
stored to the Stolle plant or not"
said Mr., Study.
The local butchers wanted to be re-
lieved of federal inspection at the time
the old meat inspection ordinance was
declared invalid. but since it has been
amended to permit farmers not en-
gagged in butchering as regular busi-
ness to sell their meats in this city,
the ordinance is regarded as valid
and local butchers not engaged in in
terstate business are contented TO have
federal inspection. having no desire to
contest the ordinance as it now stands.
1t is probable for this reason that they
did not initiate Stolle in asking to be
relieved of federal inspection

JAP PANESE GUARDED
Comment on the Democratic
Plank Against "Asiatic
Labor"
BRYAN RANTING AGITATOR.

Toxic. July 1.-THE Japanese
press comments guardedly upon the
exclusion plank introduced into the
platform of the democratic party at
the Denven convention. The plank is
generally construed as directed
against the Japanese. although its
wording, as received here. is some
what general, referring simply to
,"Asiatic labor"
That there is not a more general
manifestation of violent displeasure
at the introduction of the plank may
be attributed to the general belief
here that the democratic party in the
United States is not particularly sin
cere in this pronouncement. and that
the clause was thrust into the platform
mainly for the purpose of satisfying
the clamorings of the labor party.
The Nippon Shimbun in an editorial
says it regrets that Bryans repeated
defeats have turned him into a mere
ranting agitator.

MATTER is CONSIDERED.

Washington, D. c., July 1.-THE
possibility of Intervention by the Unit
ed States and Mexico to restore or
der in Honduras and thereby show
that revolution in that part of the
Western hemisphere will not here af-
ter be a profitable business is under
consideration by President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root. President Diaz
is also giving thought to the subject.
1t is impossible to say at this time
whether anything will come of the
thinking. The dispatch of the cruiser
Albany to Amapala on the Pacific side
of Honduras was a step to put this
government in a position to make ef-
fective any Intervention that might be
decided upon. The revolutionists ap-
pear to be headed in that direction. So

CHICKENS ARESTOLEN

Losers by Thieving Night
ProWIerS.
ONE PERSON SUSPICIONED,

Chicken thieves have again made
their appearance in the vicinity OF
Spring Grove and north of there. Sew.
eral farmers lock the coops at night
and in many instances in the morning
they find a number of chickens miss
ing. The people are up in arms and
if the culprit is found he will be
dealt with severely.
Two nights ago one of the victims
of the chicken thief lost over seventy
chickens. At other places ten to fif-
teen have been taken. Some of the
people claim they have a clew to the
guilty parties and are having suspects
carefully watched.
