a girl will find the fruit most inter-

may be used as a substitute for wa

this purpose is to put the fruit on

Many Nominations Made.

It was finally decided by an over
whelming vote that the II nominees
getting the highest number of votes
should be declared elected.
The convention then proceeded to
place men in nomination, and from
every precinct several names were
offered.
No Cut-and-Dried Affair.
1t was evident that there had been
no slate prepared in advance. A
democratic selection of representa-
tives to the state convention marked
this democratic county convention.
There was nothing cut and dried in
any of the proceedings. No slate
was offered; no creased program
was started a-going.
All the business of the convention
was done on the floor. and in the
open. There were no bosses with
programs fixed up-no men selected
to make this motion or that motion.
The convention was not a mere for
mality, such as the last republican
county convention. For three hours
the convention was in session. and
all that time was devoted to trans
acting business. There were spirited
discussions, but no i'll feeling. no
rank rulings, no out-of-place actions.
Good feeling prevailed.
Chairman Kluge was eminently
fair in all his actions. He makes a
fine presiding officer.
The following nominations we're
made for delegates:

Not Brought In.
No effort was made to bring the
Patterson-Speer Denver delegation
fight into this convention for action.
The Mesa county delegation will go
uninstructed in this matter, and will
use its best Judgment and act fairly
and according to the laws governing
the democratic conventions.
Election Spirited.
A recess was taken during the vot-
ing and for over an hour the bal
loting went on and many friendly
electioneering contests were waged.
II was 4:3O pm. before the count
ing of the votes was begun. This
was a slow and tedious job, owing
to the large number of nominees.
The count will not be completed be-
fore O'Clock, and then one of the
best political conventions in the his
tory of the county will adjourn.

DANGEROUS AUTHORITY.
1. i. + + + + + + 1. I. + 1. +

Nearly three years ago George
Bruce Cortelyou, then postmaster
general. exercised the perogatives of
his office by issuing fraud order"
barring the Peoples United States
bank of st. Louis from the privilege
of using the mails. This order wreck
ed the bank and ruined Edward G..
Lewis, its president.
Lewis conducted a big publishing
business that brought him in touch
with thousands of farmers. Sub
scribers were constantly asking his
magazine for advice in money mat
ters and for other favors. Lewis
conceived the idea of doing bank
ing business by mail. He organized
the Peoples company for that pur-
pose. Many well-established banks
have taken up the idea since. But
Lewis encountered the perils of a
pioneer. One of them was Cortel-
you's fraud order.
The rural stockholders held their
shares as worth twice their value.
When the company was barred from
the mails that value fell away. The
bank was forced to liquidate.
Though they have been unable to
use the mails in the process, the
trustees have realized 81 per cent.
on the par value and have paid divi-
dends of that amount to the stock
holders. The remaining 113 per
cent. of course is lost to them.
Lewis, besides losing his business
and all his money, has lost his busi-
ness reputation and has suffered un-
told mental distress. For the post
office department in its wisdom saw
fit 10 bring criminal prosecution
against him on charges of using the
malls to defraud. This prosecution
has just been concluded In st. Louis.
1t end d in a verdict, returned by d.
rection of Federal Judge Riner, find
ing Lewis not guilty on the ground
that there had been no fraud in in
tent or In fact.
SO Lewis was perfectly innocent.
But he is ruined man just the
same. He has no recourse. One de-
partmeut of the government, or one
man ut its head, was acting within
legal authority in destroying an in
nocent mans business and reputa-
tion. 1t looks like a very dangerous
authority to leave lying around loose

HALLICAN
ON TRIAL

Officer A. l.. Halligan was ar
raigned this afternoon before Justice
Sweeney on the charge of making an
assault on w. A. VanBuren at the
fair grounds last Saturday, while Of
ficer Halligan was on duty as special
officer at the grounds.
The officer entered a plea of not
guilty.
VanBuren claimed that Halligan
slapped him and struck him without
cause Admitted that he called Hal
ligan big dub when Halligan told
MIN to get out of the way. Admitted
that he had had a few drinks of
Deer.
VlnBuren had two or three wit
nesses who claimed that he only
callel Halligan "a big dub
Officer Halligan admitted tapping
VanBur with open hand. He said
that VanBuren would not get out of
the way of ball players when re-
quested to do SO; that he got insult
ing. called Halligan "a big duh" :"
questioned his authority; and then.
when Halligan took him out of the
field, VanBuren called him vile
name.
r. r. Vannetlsch and other wit
ness testified that VanBuren APP
peared to be intoxicated.
The officer declared that he made
no effort to hurt VanBuren, and only
slapped him when he refused to obey
his request.
There is very little ground for the
charge against officer Halligan. 1t
Is generally believed that VanBuren
gave the officer sufficient cause for
slapping him.
Judge Sweeney took the case under
advisement until June 10.
Attorney Rozzelle defended the Of
ficer, while Attorney Welsh repre-
sented the prosecution.

Most of the citizens of Pine Bluff consider that this city is rapidly be- coming metropolitan in character and that the days when the Indians war whoop sounded on her site and the buffalo trailed where now she stands are far cry backward. But those who hold such views would have been rudely shocked last night to have seen a 'possum taking stroll down Sec ond avenue in front of the Citizens bank Pine Bluff seems still a happy

DCN'TS FOUR OF THEM.

DCNTS FOUR OF THEM.
 Don't get out of your bed in the morning and go Immediately to the window and "brcathe deeply twenty times or ten times. Don't stand at all in front of the window just after you arise.
 Why:
 Because while you have been sleeping your blood has withdrawn itself from the skin surfaces and your nerve forces have concentrated themselves at inside centers. If you expose yourself under these conditions, unless you are very strong and robust, you are likely to catch your death of cold
 Don't take cold bath the first thing in the morning after you arise
 Why?
 For like reasonS-y0ur blood is not in the surface. It has not been needed there. The bedclethes have kept the skin warm. And a cold plunge at this time, unless you are quite strong, will do you more harm than good. If you take cold bath immediately after brisk physical exercise. which brings the blood to the outside. or if you take q cold bath following a hot bath. which produces the same effect you may get some benefit.
 Don't drink a glass of cold water as soon as you get out of bed" If you drink anything before breakfast, take f little sip or two of hot water
 Why?
 Because the stomach is not ready to do business before breakfast. The blood is withdrawn. If you douche it with cold water at such time. you chill that organ and derange it's func- tions; also, if you pour a lot of hot water into it, you wash out the gastric juices and impede digestion.
 Don't take violent exercise before breakfast nor Immediately following breakfast
 Why?
 Because your vital forces before break fast are low and need recuperat- ing from within. After breakfast the processes of digestion should not be interfered with until the stomach gets a chance to begin operations.
 But you say
