BRYAN HAS TIE DELEGATES.

With the republican contest over
delegates to the party's national con-
vention to be closed during the present
week, attention is being conferred on the
democratic race. The southern and
western democrats, who were consider
ably abashed by the claim set up in be-
half of Gov. johnson of Minnesota
during his recent visit to the national
capital, have resumed business at the
old stand with claims that there is
nothing to it but Bryan" Following
the forceful claims set up by Senator
Stone of Missouri, Representative Hitch
cock of Nebraska, another close friend
of Mr.. Bryan, throws ashot at the
situation and a summary of his remarks
is that 'there is nothing to the johnson
boom but froth, no substance, all talk,
and no delegates" Among other things
Representative Hitchcock said: "Only
three other possible candidates have
been mentioned: Judge Gray is one,
and Delaware would be for him but he
has declined. Judge Harmon was one,
but Ohio has instructed for Bryan and
nominated Harmon for governor. Gov.
johnson is the third and his name has
not yet been mentioned in any state
convention except Minnesota. Ofcourse
he will have his own state, but | don't
believe his name Will be presented at
Denver. He may receive higher honors
some day. but not a presidential nomina-
ton this year. New York and New
Jersey are claimed for johnson, but IN
fact they are not for anybody at present,
except that many of their delegates are
avowed Bryan men, only restrained from
supporting him until the delegation
comes to a vote. The New England
states have "a votes: Bryan has at least
10, and probably rs, of these. Every
southern state that has spoken has de
clared for Bryan. The opposition clam
ed South Carolina. but the county
conventions instructed a majority of
delegates for Bryan. I don't believe the
opposition can muster thirty votes
against Bryan IN all the south. THE
opposition claimed North Dakota till it
instructed for Bryan. They claimed
Illinois till it did the anne Gntfey was
expected to carry the Pennsylvania
primaries against Bryan. He was de-
feated in his own district, and the Bryan
men elected 81 out of the 68 Pennsyl-
vania delegates. But as the state
convention has not yet been held the
opposition still claims the state. They
claimed Ohio for Harmon TIL one by one
the counties had instructed for Bryan,
and the state convention did the

Gone to His Last Reward.

MCkECHNEY-At the family residence in
Cavalier county, near Beaulieu, on
Wednesday, May 18th, 1908, John
months and thirteen days, death due
to attack of pneumonia.
John Mckechney was born in Erin
township, Ontario, January 1st, 1913,
where he lived until he grew to man
hood and married, and in 1882, he
removed to North Dakota and took up
land on the 'tirst mountain about six
miles from Walhalla, ana later added to
this land by the purchase of other farms
near him, and for the past ten years or
more, has lived on a farm one mile north
of the Beaulieu post office. He was a
successful farmer and was prominent in
all that was done towards building up
that section of country. Two weeks ago
he was taken sick and for a time his life
was given up, but on Saturday a change
for the better was apparent, until all
thought that he would soon be about
and strong as ever. This continued
until Wednesday evening, when he eX-
pressed a desire to get up, and was pre-
pairing to do so, when without warning
of any kind, the hand of death took
him. The suddenness of the attack is a
shock to everyone, but most of all to
those who were near and dear to HIM
and who we're about his bedside. Mr..
John Mckechney was a large hearted,
open-spoken man who had the courage
of his convictions, a devoted Christian
and beloved by his family and friends
among whom he had lived for a quarter
of a century. He was a man respected
for his earnest truthfulness and what
ever he undertook to do it was with the
idea of being right. These were reasons
to which he owed the love and respect
of many who will miss his presence in
their daily life. He leaves to mour his
death, besides a devoted wife, three sons,
0. H., of Ardoch, d. II. of Portal, and
Norman, of Langdon: and three daugh-
tiers, Mrs. A. johnson and Mrs. Neil
johnson, of Inkster, and Miss Bertha
McKechney, of Beaulieu. The funeral
was held on Saturday leaving the home
near Beaulieu at ten o'clock, the church
services being held at Walhalla, followed
by lnterment of the remains in the
Protestant cemetery on the hill.-Wal-

BOY FATALLY BURNED.
Little Son of Henry Lewis, at Gallo Loses His
Life Accidentally by Fire.


On Thursday last week, Louis. the
two-and- a-half years old grandson of Mr..
and Mrs. John Disher of Gallo was badly
burned. When DR.. Young of Munich
arrived he found that the injuries were
so great that 1t was impossible to save
the child's life and he died about six
O'Clock in the evening. 1t seems that
the child was out in the garden with his
grandma who was burning some weeds
and rubbish along the fence: becoming
thirsty Mrs. Disher went to the house
for a drink of water, thinking the little
fellow was following her. While drink
ing the water she was startled by a
scream and on running out found the
lower part of the child's clothing on fire
He had a heavy top coat on at the time
which confined the fire to the light
clothing underneath which could not be
extinguished or torn off before the lower
part of the body was burned almost to a
crisp. The funeral was held Sunday
afternoon at the house.
