SECOND PLACE EAST OR SOUTH
Vice President May Come from New
York or Kentucky, Says
Hitchcock.

The democratic convention IN Denver did
not possess attraction sufficient to hold
Congressman Hitchcock. who returned
Wednesday morning tired and glad to get
away, he says. The congressman had
charge OF the allotting OF press seats and
having finished his work, returned home.
He says he gave out tickets for S75 desk
seats TO the newspaper men and about 800
seats without desks.
1.-THE convention is all Bryan's and he
will unquestionably be nominated on the
first ballot" said Mir. Hitchcock 81 was
80 busy that l did not have time to talk
with many Of the delegates and know abso-
lutely nothing about the feeling of Tam
many or the McCarren or Coler factions
"Of course the vice presidency Is still
in g problematical state largely. but l
feel sure that the nomination will go to
the cast or south. Judge GRAY OF Delaware

HAY COOKERS VERSUS Gas
Alfalfa Burners Are Making a. Hit
with the Women.
CLABAUGH ADMITS 1T IS SO
Yet the Omaha Gas Company Has
Not Decided 40 Go Out OF
Business On This Ac-
count.

While the gas company has been dealt
a telling blow by the women OF Omaha
doing their summer cooking with hay the
ice companies have begun to feel the oe-
crease in demand for ice because the wo-
man have a system Of keeping meats with
fern leaves.
"Hay cookers are increasing in NUMBER
AT an alarming rate in Omaha, according
10 @. w. Clabaush, general manager OF the
Omaha Gas company, and while the women
,,se a little gas to give the food a start
thew then place the pots, kettles and oak-
ing mans in a box around which they have
hacked hay such as is fed to stock ana
worn on hats. Those who are using the
cookers declare them to be simply grand
ard Cook With Hay has become about
as common talk In the street cars as COOK
with Gas"
Mrs. Florence Carter, 1895 North Twenty
eighth street, has a cooking machine made
Of pine boards, hay and excelsior. She thus
describes her method Of cooking;
This hot weather-when II is hot-cook-
ing with a range is simply absurd; gas
stoves are a boon TO womarkind ana make
It a little better. electricity will do only foI
the poor-rich, while any one can be com
Portable II they cook with hay as a summer
kitchen is not even needed.
For instance, l wanted 10 cook a chicken
on the Fourth OF July. When It was cool

started chicken TO baking In my gas stove

ROUND MOUNTAIN
DECLARES DIVIDEND
HAS NEW ORE BODY

GOLDFIELD. June 1.-The first
dividend OF the Round Mountain Min
ing Co. was declared yesterday al a
meeting of the directors al the rate
of cents a share. which means a
disbursement of $4,000. Stock
holders of record on June / ) will be
able TO have their checks cashed
three days later. There was quite a
lengthy discussion among the direc-
tors as to the size of the dividend,
and AT what intervals il would be
forthcoming, but it was finally con-
cluded to establish "A quarterly divi-
dend. with a special dividend thrown
in II the receipts warranted. At yes
terday's meeting there were present
J. =. LOTUS, j. II. Davis, John S.
Cook. Louis Gordon and Harry c.
Mayer, the full board of directors.
\ report was submitted showing
that the affairs of the company were
in excellent condition. and with sur
plus cash reserve that would war
rant much larger disbursement, but
1t was thought expedient TO hold a
good strong reserve fund, as II is CON
templated to do some extensive i'm
provements and also desirable to ac-
quire other ground in the neighbor-
hood. Recently the company took
over the holdings of the Western
Co, and yesterday the property of
the Round Mountain Extension was
taken in for a consideration said to
be $4,000, This gives the company
a compact area of $50 acres. which
Is likely to be increased.
The mine has had a remarkable
history, and many stories have been
written about il that were not strict
ly true. About two years ago the
camp was discovered and some phe-
nomenally rich gold ore was found
on the surface. Some of the ore car
ried slabs and deposits of gold on
the faces that appeared as bright and
