 Beds Have Arrived.

Ahc NtW bttoFdteu IfOn ana Brass
 Beds Have Arrived.
 We want you to see these beds for they're the handsomest lot we've ever had the privilege of showing.
 The prices moreover are a little less than formerly and everyone said last year that our prices were a little less than any they had seen. These beds cost money, however-they're handsome pieces of work. But we're keeping the margins down. The new decorated beds cost from s10 to $35 for the bedstead and they're perfect gems of the latest ideas in bedroom furniture.
 These are the beds that are go. ing to help furnish some of the pret- tiest homes this spring Why not let us make yours into one of the prettiest homes?

RUSHING BELL FORWARD.

= Lincoln, July 6-Temporary Cair- man Theodore Bell. who together with Bryan had become almost hope less about reaching Denver in time for the opening of the convention on account of the high water which put the railroads in and out of Lincoln out of business, left this scene of washout for Denver at pm. The Rock Island lines are able by an un- usual effort to arrange a special train from the west side of the washouts near Rockby, Neb. Chairman Bell and the Associated Press representa- tives were able t. cross the swollen stream and board a waiting train which will reach Belleville. Kansas, in time to catch the Rock Island s fast Colorado express from Kansas City, which will be. held up for the purpose. It is due at Denver at s o'clock tomorrow morning. Unless further unexpected trouble arises, with the excellent facilities of the Rock Island, Bell will reach Denver prac- tically on time, ahead of the time set for the opening of the convention General Manager Melcher's instruc- tions are to get there in time even if the train has to split in two sec tiOns to do it"

 From his cell he gave out the follow ing interview tonight: T am not greatly surprised at the action taken in the matter by my party. In fact I am aware that they recognize me in. some way or another. I am particu- larly well known to the members of may party. and am a socialist from the ground up.
 'I have always been a defender and expounder of the principles of the socialist party and always will con tinue to be one. While I am not at lib- erty to make a statement covering my nomination, owing to instructions from my counsel, Judge O. N. Hilton. at the same time I am willing that my name shall remain at the top of the ticket as the socialist nominee for president of the United States. I recognize the honor conferred upon me and am proud of it.
 On the other hand, if Hilton desires I shall withdraw from the nomination I shall ask my name be taken from the ticket and some other substituted. I have not been officially notified of my nomination by the convention at New York, but probably I will receive it in due time. At the present time, as

THE SAILING TODAY
 OF BATTLESHlP FLEET
Nothing Now Remains to Be Done
 But Collect the Strag9lers Ashore.

San Francisco, July 6.-ShOre leave for the men of the Atlantic battle ship fleet came to an end at o'clock this morning but a few sailors were seen about the city streets today at tending to the last duties peculiar to the sailing of naval vessels.
 Patrols were out in force all day and are still on duty tonight, round ing up the last of the crews; but the majority of the work was done last night and there are few sailC1s who will be left behind when the fleet hoists anchor and gets under way at two o'clock tomorrow after noon. San Francisco will take no official notice of the departure. No holiday has been declared, but the' Q will be thousands posted on rhe cliffs of the Golden Gate and the ships Wiil not lack for cheers and good wishes when they head out into the Pacific on the way to the far east.
 It is probable that the fleet, with the Connecticut leading, will steam across the ocean in single file. This will string the sixteen battleships out over many miles and by the time the last ship swings out through the Gate. the Connecticut will be hull down on the western horizon.

AN UNEXPECTED BOOM
 IN THE STOCK MARKET
A Record Day For Transactions in
 Month.

New York. July 6.-The stock mark let today threw off the lethargy in which it was bound the last week and sprang into energy and animation. The days transaction rose to larger total than was touched for a month. This feature was most remarkable. For some time there has been a small amount of offerings of stocks which left the price level little affected fin spite of the absolute stagnation of de- mand. From this it was deduced that it would be easy to advance prices by courageous well directed efforts against a moderate accumulation of holdings. Such accumulation was evi- dent today. There was a sharp ad vance in London copper and mining and smelting stocks were conspicious in the days advances. The large re- sumptions of the steel mills in the Pittsburg district was a helpful factor. Bonds were irregular.

The MeXicali people fear the reYolutionistS will make an attack upon the town and attempt to capture the customs house and pOstoffice. The rurales and othey riders have been called from as far as Tia Juana to assemble at Mex icali Extra forces of rurales will pa trot Mexicali. All shops are ordered closed at 10 o'clock and Americans are warned that they had better go to CaleXico.
 Business places, customs house and post office are guarded. An at tack on the Mexicali postoffice by rob bers supposed to be revolutionists was repulsed recently The robbers escap- ed to the American side, but it is re- ported that they were reinforced and will make another attempt.

provoked probably

legheny county, provoked probably the most bitter discussion heard be- fore any of the sub committees. Charles Berwood Daily of Philadelphia appeared for the contestants and ar raigned Charles P. Donnelly and Thomas P Ryan, the leaders of the Guffey faction in those districts, in the bitterest manner. He charged that eight Guffey delegates were elected by the aid of republicans and that the rankest frauds were perpe- trated. Both Donnelly and Ryan, who spoke in support of the regular delegation, replied in kind to the Charges. After listening to crimina- tions and recriminations an hour and a half. the subcommittee took the contests under advisement and will report tomorrow.
 The leaders of several contesting delegations, incensed by defeat, charg- ed that the sub committees were packed against them. Little hope was expressed by the opponents of Sullivan, Guffey and. Murphy that they will win before the national committee.
 The matter whether the Oklahoma delegation should be allowed four teen seats as accorded by the na- tiOnal committee, or eighteen as claimed by the state, was passed along to the credentials committee. But fourteen, however, appear on the temporary roll call.
 The national committee adopted suitable expression of sorrow for the death of James K Jones of Arkan- sas, former national chairman

HEARING OF CONTESTS.
1t Generally Happened That the Con
 testees Were Sustained.

Denver, July 6-In record time to- day the democratic national commit tee disposed of all the contests be- fore it with the exception of two in the states of Pennsylvania and Idaho, which went over until tomorrow morning. The general result was to sustain the delegates who came here with credentials from state and dis trict conventions. A total of seventy six seats were involved in contests from Illinois, New York, Pennsyl- vania, Idaho, Ohio and the District of Columbia. The work was done by six sub committees, four of which reported today to the full body.
 Roger c. Sullivan of Chicago was an easy winner of twenty contested seats from Cooke county, which were disputed by Robert E. Burke and his associates. Senator Fred T. Dubois was sustained by the sub committee which heard the Mormon contests from Idaho, but the committee was not ready to make a report to the full committee before the body ad- journed Tom Johnson of Cleveland was a winner in the Nineteenth Ohio district, where he triumphed over the sub committee before the national committee. The Rockwell delegates were displaced and the two Johnson delegates were seated in their places. Tn the Ninth Ohio district the Garber faction retained two contestants over the protest of Johnson.
 Patrick McCarren of Brooklyn was practically ignored in his contest against Charles F. Murphy for twelve seats in Kings county, New York. Before the subcommittee he became so abusive to the Murphy -Coler men that he was not permitted to pro ceed, and the meeting abruptly ad- journed with a decision to take no further action in regard to the con tests. The full committee sustained that course without debate. In the District of Columbia contest where the entire delegation of six was in volved, the committee divided the seats between the two contesting parties.
 Joseph Howley of the Thirty-f first Pennsylvania district, whose right to seat was disputed by the Guffey people, was sustained by the sub committee. The Pennsylvania con- tests. which involved eight seats in the city of Philadelphia and in Al

His Defeat Was Possible if His Enemies Gould Have Found Starting Point
The Nebraskan Saved by the InactiOn of the New York DelegatiOn-- Hon. J. M Gufiey Triumphs Tempo rariy at Least Over the Bryanites.

Denver. July 6.-AbOve the hubbub of the last strenuous day before the democratic national convention, the main developments stand out promi- nently. The wave of Bryan sentiment increased to apparently overwhelming and irresistible proportions and the nomination of the Nebraskan seems now assured beyond any reasonable doubt. All efforts to unite on a vice presidential candidate proved futile and the convention will begin it's de- Alterations tomorrow with the contest for second place wide open. A ma iority of the Pennsylvania delegation, in caucus, named Col. James NJ. Guffy. national comnjttceman. in open defi- ance to Bryan's demand for his dis placement and on the heels of Guffey's stinging public arraignment of Bryan as "a hypocrite, an ingrate and a falsifier" A minority of the Pennsyl- vania delegation held a trump caucus which sought to depose Guffey from the leadership and install James Kerr, a Bryan man, as Pennsylvania lead CT.
 The New York delegation appointed a committee of ten to draft platform and named Judge Alton B. Parker. the democratic standard bearer of 1904, as New YorlIs representative on the platform committee. The New York caucus was silent as to the presidential and vice presidential situation. The democratic national committee held it's first meeting to consider the contests which resulted in the dismissal of Senator McCarren's New York conten- tions, and seating Roger C. Sullivan's Illinois delegates.
