seems to be no doubt that Mr.. Bryan
will be named as the Democratic
candidate for president by the con-
vention today. That this is so
attribute very largely to the action
OF the New York delegation. If
they had stood out the result might
have been different. AS New York

they will do for his election in No

same politics in New York as they
have in Denver. Doubtless the plat
form will be framed to suit the
views OF Mr.. Bryan.

AUTHORITIES WILL
 GET WILKINS
The Penitentiary Poet Who Was Pardoned From
 State Prison.

Little Rock. June 8. Within short time Frank Wilkins, the penitentiary poet and acknow- ledged to be one of the smoothest criminals in the business, is ex- pected to again be in the tolls, as postal inspectors are closing 1 in on him in a far off state, thousands of miles from the seat of his crimes. Wilkins was con- fined in the Arkansas peniten- tiary on a charge of burglary,
 with several years Go serve. He wrote such touching poetry, with a more touching story of two children who longed for him at the old New York home. Rev.
 Ben Cox became interested in him, and not only secured his pardon. but provided the funds to take Wilkins back to his for lorn children. Instead of leaving to a place of reformation, Wilkins wrote to the father and aunt of David Maddox, convict, who lived in Midland, Ind, saying he was pardoned and needed $40 to pay an attorney before leaving for his old home, and signed the name of Maddox. The $40 was sent to Wilkins in Argenta, and there cashed by him. He later received several registered let ters sent to the convict by the relatives of Maddox, in St. Louis. and then disappeared, only to be followed by postal authorities. In each instance where money
 was paid out bv postal authori- ties on the money orders cashed for Wilkins, the clerks had to make good to the department for not requiring sufficient iden- tification, and all this made the postal authorities all the more eager to locate their quabby.

CARE OF BATHROOM.

II the family health is to be preserved
too much care cannot be taken in keep
ing a bathroom sanitary. Particularly is
this true in apartments where the rooms
are all on one floor and draught- carrying
tire place
If the bathroom is on an air shaft the
window should be kept open at the top
for at least four inches day and night,
and the shades should be rolled up out of
the way. This insures the escape of i'm
pure atmosphere. The bathroom door
should always be kept closed. but espe-
eially at night, when persons are breath
ing the same air for many hours at a
stretch.
The last person to use the bathroom at
night should have certain duties toward
keeping 1t sanitary. 1t ought to be a
fixed rule that the plugs in washstand
and bathtub shall be put in tightly and a
little water run In to prevent any gases
from coming through. When the basin
has vent holes near the top 1t is consid-
these with tiny corks. and there is no
doubt but that this precaution should be
observed when a washstand is In the
sleeping room. The lavatory lid should
be closed, and a very wise thing Is to
keep some sort of disinfectant in the
the lavatory. to remain there all night
This acts as corks In the basin holes-it
prevents gases from rising. or. strictly
speaking. neutralizes. making them
harmless.
II is taken for granted that this wash
ing but once a week some sort of disin-
fectant or purifier should be put into the
water This il particularly true as ap-
piled to cleansing around the lavatory,
