A Curious Condition.

The acquittal on technically OF
Rep. Bunting on a charge of certify
ing TO a fraudulent bill of expenses
for Rep. Anderson has uncovered a
curious state of affairs. Bunting was
acquitted on the ground that the
house had not authorized the junket
for which the expenses were paid TO
Anderson, although he never left
home. and 1t has been learned that
numerous other junkets have been
held for years past without any au-
thorization, and at least $4,000 paid
out under this head.
Attorney-General Bird is consider
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of suing the mem
bers who drew this money, but 1t is
improbable that he will take such n
step in view of the fact that in most
cases the money was for actual ex-
penses honestly incurred. The fail
ure of the Bunting case will not affect
the case against Rep. Anderson, for
the same technicality does not apply
in his case. 1t is thought that even
If the charge against him falls
through action will be taken to re-
cover the money drawn by him.
At the next session of the legisla-
ture steps will be taken to prevent
the possibility of such state OF
things arising in the future.

Temporary Chairman Bell as wielder
of the gavel. exclaimed that William
Jennings Bryan needed no defenders,
and ELECTED tremendous applause.
The opening session lasted three
hours and brought about the comple-
ton of the permanent organization of
the convention, with the resounding
address of Congressman Clayton of
Alabama. permanent chairman of the
convention. When the session opened
at night, every formality of organiza.
ton had been accomplished and the
decks were clear for the supnS.,ue
work of adopting the platform ana
naming the candidates.
Clayton Delivers His Address.
The scenes within the convention
amphitheater repeated those of previ.
Gus days in the magnitude of the gath
ering and the eager enthusiasm of the
throngs. There were frequent dem
onstrations as the names OF party
idols or Jeffersonian principles were
pronounced, but there was no repeti-
ton during the early session of the
tumultuous record-breaking demonstra-
ton of Wednesday.
The address OF the permanent chair
man, Mr.. Clayton, proved to be a caus-
tic arraignment of the failure of
Roosevelt policies, and an enunciation
of Democratic doctrine. The ringing
voice of the orator and the emphasis
of his gestures stirred the listening
thousands to frequent demonstrations
of enthusiastic approval.
At 1880 o'clock the platform com
mittee was not Jet prepared to report,
and the convention took recess until
evening, so that all remaining differ
ences of detail on the platform could
be reconciled and the document be
ready for adoption and the presidential
nomination be reached before the ad.
journment Of the night session.

Grand Island lighthouse has been
solved. Nearly a month ago Assist
ant Keeper Morrison, of Detroit. was
found dead in a sailboat. Genery
was missing and there were rumors
OF foul play, but it was decided by a

was found in Lake Superior 20 miles
from Munising. He had been drowned
but in what manner is unknown. r.
c. Mckenzie. of Munising, had gone
to that locality near the Pictured

Probably no minor league first base
man is more earnestly sought after
by the big leaguers that Warren Gin,
first basefnan OF the Grand Rapids
team. Gill has been playing a sensa-
tional game for the locals this sum
mer He Is big and husky and fields
his position IN clever style. The great
est point in his favor. however, is his
base running, Time after time he has
won games for Grand Rapids in the
late rounds by sheer nerve. Opening
an inning he has gotten to base by
some hook or crook and often stolen
his way to third to score on a dinky
infield out On two occasions he won
games by steals home. Gill is a
steady hitter and can be relied upon
to give good account of himself.
There will be no doubt as to which
big league club will get him. It's
Pittsburg. for he is the property of

him badly right now but can't land
him until the Grand Rapids manage
ment is willing to let him go.
