came through Chicago, but stopped there

yer being the republican nominee for vice

Dolliver makes the s~econding speech and
wants to be the nominee for vice president,
IT is very probable that he will secure the

the senate, but II he should, 1t would be
gratifying to see him the nominee"
Congressman Smith expressed himself

lison's campaign, said today that there may
be no harmony banquet. las for myself
said Mr.. Quint, ut seems to me to be a
very excellent idea, but II any of the pro-

that 1t Is planned to make them eat crow
In public and Is proposed for the purpose

be dropped.
Charles Rocker. convicted Of the murder
of August Schroeder and sentenced to life
Imprisonment, must serve out his term.
The supreme court today affirmed his con-
viction. Rocker has been tried three times
for the murder and this is the second time
the supreme court has passed upon It,.
Rocker worked as a farm hand in Lyon
county for Schroeder. On June 20. 1900.
they attended a picnic and returned home
at midnight. Mrs. Schroeder arose and
because her husband was feeling bad
helped him to bed. He did not entirely I'm
dress and when she arose in the morning
she found hin gone. Later she discovered
him in the barn hanging by the neck and
dressed as he was when he lay down on
the bed. He was in his stocking feet and
his stockings were clean, though the barn
was 100 feet from the house. 1t was shown
that Rocker asked two saloon keepers for
doped whisky and finally bought some
chloroform. Mrs. Schroeder married Rocker
after the murder. but later testified that
in a drunken sleep he had confessed 10
the murder. The only claim of the de-
PENDANT was as to insufficiency of evil
dence.
