CAN MARRY oRIENTALs.

Anglo-Saxon women cannot be de-
tered, it seems, from marrying ORR
entails. Even the unspeakable Turk
is not excluded from the possibility
of winning an Occidental bride. A
woman writing to a London paper
tells of having been stopped in the
streets of Constantiiople by closely
yelled woman, d:.essed entirely in
black. She bent down her head a
moment to whisper that she was an
English woman married to Turkish
merchant, and begged the stranger to
save other of her countrywomen from
q like fate.-New York Tribune.

CARE IN DRESSING.

A woman who is well groomed can
not afford to be careless of her ap-
pearance. She must dress so as to
bring out her good points. To do
this takes time. At least half an
hour is required for dressing in order
that she may present that perfectly
prepared appearance which is the in
describable charm Of the well
groomed woman. Particular atten-
tion must be paid to the finishing
touches. Each hook and button must
be perfectly adjusted; her hair must
be as neat as possible, with no strag-
Cling, ill-kempt locks flying about,
and her hands must defy criticism.-

Thorough Churning.

In order to have as thorough
churning as possible, the tempera-

fifty-eight degrees. While the but

and wash, then butter and salt while

changes in the ministry, resulting
from the assumption of the premier
ship by MI. Asquith, had involved an
alteration of the attitude of Ireland
toward the Liberal party, and he did
not think that Irish voters could sup
port Winston Churchill in the ap-
preaching bye election at Manchester.
Continuing, Mr.. Redmond declared
that the attitude of Premier Asauith
and Secretary for Ireland Birrell to-
ward Hcme Rule was a direct chal-
lenge to the people of Ireland and he
warned Mr.. Asquith to remember the
fate of Lord Rosebery. Ireland herself
would have to force the Home Rule
question to the front at the National
lists from Westminster.

Grand Rapids, Mich. April 5.-Wil-

thusiasm here today by crowds along
the street and by large audiences that
gathered at Campus square and
crowded Bowers Opera house where
Mr. Bryan made addresses. Mr. Bryan
took an early train for Lansing this
evening. In his Opera house speech,
Mr.. Bryan said:
II dc not blame President Roosevelt
for the financial depression. If 1 had
been President I would have been
blamed for the trouble. Roosevelt says
he only turned on the light. l only
blame him for having gas fixture so
bad it has taken him five years to turn
it on. The Republican party sold the
country to Wall street in 1896 and de-
livered the goods. When a gambler in
Wall street gets cold today, the whole
world has to Shiver.
NO one in the United States gets
more pleasure out of what the Presi-
dent has done than do. / think I am
his greatest beneficiary. He has made
my ideas respectable, and the people
use me better, too. The papers speak
more kindly of me. The cartoons are
not so bad. They used to make such
horrid pictures of me that l was afraid
to have the papers come into the
house."
He said that the action of Gov.
Hughes in vetoing the two-cent fare
law in New York and his expressed
opinion that the levying of great fines
on corporations worked an injustice to
stockholders showed his sympathies to
be with the corporations.
Mr. Hughes has SAID that the in
dividuaI violators of the law should be
given Jail sentences" said Mr.. Bryan.
But we don't see any of the trust
leaders in Jail"
Mr.. Taft, he declared to be the heir
apparent to the Roosevelt monarchy.
All of the other cabinet officers had
been exposed to reform, he said, but
it did not take, and in Taft's case. he
believed it to be only variolold. TAFT

vor Of trust determination, said Mr..
Bryan, whereas Mr.. Taft stood for

FLOOD IN MONTANA.
Towns Wiped Out. and Other Places
Are Threatened.

Helena, April 15-With several
houses destroyed in the town of Craig,
46 miles north of Helena, hundreds of
head of cattle and other live stock
drowned and the Great Northern Rail-
road tracks were washed away for
miles. The loss by the floods caused by
the breaking yesterday of the 7O-foot
dam at Hauser lake is estimated today
at approximately 100000. which in
cludes the damage to the dam. The
dam is owned by the Helena Water
Power Transmission Co.
The indications are that the water
receded during the day sufficiently to
prevent any great damage at Great
Falls.
Helena, Mont. April 15.-An uncon-
trollahle flood is rapidly advancing to-
day upon Great Falls, a city of 1900
population and it is believed that the
Boston &. Montana Smelter, one of the
largest in the world, is doomed to
destruction. The smelter is built on
the river bank. 1t employs more than
1900 men.
The employees were engaged all night
in the construction of wing dam"
around the smelter. Preparations have
also been made so that the dam at
Great Falls from which the smelter
secures it's powers, may be dynamited
as a last resort.
Craig, Mont, probably has been
wiped off the map. although as far
as is known. all of the 400 inhabitants
escaped. Cascade, a town of 400 popu-
lation, g. miles from Helena and %
miles north of Craig, is now under
water and in danger of being swept
away. The river is thickly Strewn
with debris of ranch houses. Many
| animals are battling for their lives in
the flood.
A dispatch from Wolf Creek says
the town of Craig has been wiped
away by the flood. Warning had been
given to residents in time to reach
the hills but all their belongings were
carried away. Thert were from 80 to
40 buildings in the place. ,-
The Black Eagle dam across the
Missouri at Great Falls was today
blown up with dynamite in order to
prevent the destruction of the Bos-
ton and Montana Smelter. This ma
terially helped and serious danger
from the flood is now probably over.
A smelling workman, name unknown,
was drowned when the dam was dyna-
mited. being the second man to lose his
life in the floods.

has been adopted by vote Of 1926 to
SO and McCarren and his followers
left the hall.
! The following platform was adopt
ed:
1.-The Democracy of the state of New
York in convention assembled hereby
declares as follows:
I'VE believe that the Democracy of
the nation by the strength of its pO-
sition or question of great public i'm
portance and the blunders and ex-
travagance of the Republican party
has this year presented to it an un-
usual opportunity to return to tEs
control of the government of the coun-
try and to that end we believe that
every sacrifice which patriotism may
suggest or public sentiment require
should be made by all members of the
party in order to again put Democratic
principles into actual operation in the
administration of the affairs of the
government.
We believe that as the county is
greater than the party, SO is the party
greater than any of it's members and
therefore, personal ambition and in
dividual preferment must give way
to the good of the many, and the
triumphs of the cause.
I'VE hold that Democratic tradi-
tons bound up as they are with much
that is greatest in the history of the
country require the national cOnven-
lions should be gatherings of the best
intellect the ripest judgment and the
most unselfish patriotism of the party
protecting the needs and striving for
the welfare of the country at large.
And therefore, we, representing the
party in the greatest state of the union
a state whose electoral vote is essen
tial to Democratic victory with no
animosity or hostility for any candi-
date and animated only by devotion
to the principles of the party. call upon
the Democracy Of the country to send
to Denver in July next, unpledged and
uninstructed, the ablest, strongest and
most representative men to the end
that out of the deliberation and con-
sultation of such men there may be
then and there nominated ticket
which will rally to it's support the
judgment, conscience and vote of a
majority of the citizens of the country
After the platform had been adopted
and delegates named scene of wild
disorder followed the announcement
of the names of the new state COM
mittec, delegates from several dis
tricts protested that the names read
were not those selected. The chairman
replied that the question was whether
the convention. through it's own COM
mittee should be empowered to name
the new state committee. The aisles
were crowded with delegates denounc-
ing the proposition. Order could not
be restored men refused to be seated
ami the police for many minutes were
pcwerless to keep the protesting men
quiet. 1t was then past midnight and
the excitement was greater than dur
ing the McCarren excitement and while
it was at it's height the sergeant-at-
arms was knocked from the platform.
The committees report was declared
carried.
Harry w. Walker, one of Bryan's
most enthusiastic supporters in New
York, declared that he would issue a
call for another state convention to
send q eoHtesting delegation to Den
yer.
The convention adjourned at 1890.
