The True Wife.

BY far too many Of our young ladies
marry without the remotest idea Of
the duties and obligations that must
be discharged by a wife; and what Of
the result? Neglect, arrangements
aud ruin. The true wife will not leave
her household affairs wholly to the
careless overseeing servants, nor
will the true, loving mother leave her
children to the care Of others. We do
not think any woman has the right TO
marry until she feels herself qualified
to take her place as mistress Of house
hold economics-queen regant Of all
that can make home pleasant and
bright, whether in parlor or kitchen
even As she should oe queen regant
in the one she marries. II young
ladies' were educated for the duties Of
life. instead Of its frivolities, there
would be far less unhappiness in the
world: they would not he censured az
the majority now are for marrying
for selfish interests wealth, am
bition, anything but love. Wives
would not seek for their dearest hap
piness in scenes Of fashionable gayety,
but would find it in the Frightening
and hallowing their homes; husbands
would not frequent the "club room"
and billiard parlor, as 50 many do
now, nor complain of extravagant ex-
penditure: and the public press would
not condemn fashionable women as
il does today.

 Not unlike the premature explosion of giant tirecracker was the demon stration at the first mention of Mir Bryan's name in the convention.
 The delegates started the tumult at a signal given by the blind Senator Gore of Oklahoma, who stood for an hour and twenty-seven minutes, an almost pathetic figure, on the verge of the platform, as 5000 men and women in dulged in frenzied tribute to the leader at Lincoln. The eighty-seven minutes that 1t continued leaves all l@,vious achievements very far in the rear. At Chicago the Republican convention indulged in fortytwo min. utes at the mention of President Roosevelt's name and twenty-four in honor of Secretary Taft. The figure was thirty-one minutes at St Louis four years ago when Judge Alton R. Parker was nominated and thirty-six when MT. Hearst's name was proposed in the same convention.
 The demonstration started when Sen ator Gore during n recess in the reg ular work of the convention referred to Bryan as the friend of Oklahoma. It was led by the galleries, and the delegates fell into line, hoisted their state standards and marched around the hall cheering madly. Every sort of noise making device was used to heighten the effect.
 "Fellow Democrats, the great .secre tary of war came to Oklahoma and waged war against our. constitution said Senator Gore. He asked us to give up our right of liberty and self government. But by vote of thou. sands upon thousands we rejected the advice of Taft and accepted the ad- tlce of Bryan"

 dercurrent already in motion toward the nomination of Kern for second place. On the call of states Indiana presented the name of Kern. Colorado, through former Governor Thomas, placed in nomination Charles A. Towne of New York; Connecticut pre- sented Archibald McNeill, and Georgia presented Clark Howell.
 The names of Judge Gray of Dela- ware and John Mitchell of Illinois were not presented, owing to the ex- plicit requests of these gentlemen not to have their names go before the con- vention.
 For a time it looked as though bal lot would be required. But the steady line of states which joined in second ing Kern's nomination soon made it apparent that the chances of all other candidates had been extinguished.
 The speech placing William Jennings Bryan in nomination was made by Ignatius J. Dunn of Nebraska, youth full orator of fire and eloquence, whose closing phrase stirred the vast assem- blaze into wild demonstration.
 As MT. Dunn proceeded almost ev- cry allusion made to the character of MT. Bryan was enthusiastically ap- plauded, although he had not yet men, toned the name of the Nebraska can- didate.
 When MT. Dunn declared that his candidate was the choice of the mili- tant Democracy of the country the convention broke in with wild cheers. The ever ready flags were tossed aloft,, and a roar of applause swept was at its height a white dove was let loose from the gallery, and it flew across the convention hall, while the delegates hailed it with great enthu- siasm and cheered as long as it was in sight.
 "'I nominate" exclaimed Mir Dunn, "as the standard bearer of our party the man who in the thrilling days of 1896 and 1900 bore the battle scared banner of Democracy with fame as untarnished as the crusaders of old America's great Commoner, Nebras- ka's gifted son, William Jennings Bryan"
 Mir Dunn brought out the name of "William Jennings Bryan with in- tense dramatic force, and the response from the great throng was electric. The delegates sprang up, the galleries followed suit, and the demonstration was under way.
 A few minutes after the cheering began an immense oil painting of MT. Bryan was lowered from behind a monster American shield which had reposed over the chairman's desk ever since the convention began. The ap- pearance of the picture raised the pitch of the outburst.

 Private Monopoly IntoIersbIe.
 "A private monopoly is indefenslble and intolerahle. We therefore favor the vigorous enforcement of the crim- inal law against guilty trust magnstes and officials and demand the enact ment of such additional legislation as may be necessary to make 1t impossi- ble for a private monopoly to exist In the United States. Among the addi- tional remedies we specify three-frst, a law preventing a duplication of d. rectors among competing corporations; second, a license system which will. without abridging the right of each state to create corporations or it's right to regulate as 1t will foreign cor porations doing business within its linn its, make 1t necessary for manufac- turing or trading corporation engaged in interstate commerce to take out a federal license before 1t shall be per mitted to control as much as % per cent of the product in which it deals the license to protect the public from watered stock and to prohibit the con trol by such corporation of more than 5u per cent of the total amount of any product consumed in the United States, and, third, n law compelling such IT, censed corporations to sell to all pur- chasers in all parts of the country on the same terms after making due al- lowance for cost of transportation"
 Theodore A. Bell of California was temporary chairman of the conyen- tion. One thousand and two dele gates were in attendance.
 In his address Chairman Bell at. tackled the record of the Republican party and the platform recently adopt ed in Chicago. He outlined the atti- tude the Democratic party should take on some of the leading questions of the day, declaring that the convention had something else to do besides talk ing the Republican party to task for the part it has played in creating and perpetuating abuses"
 After an hour of speechmaking the committee on credentials reported on the Pennsylvania and other contested cases. A minority report on the Penn sylvanla case resulted in an hours acrimonious debate, after which the convention rejected the minority re- port, favorable to the Guffey faction, by the decisive vote of e1 to 3S7.
 New York threw its full strength of seventy-eight votes with the Guffey faction, Chairman Murphy announcing 1t yea" under the unit rule. He said that the delegation had been boiled and stood Yeas, 6S; nays, 10.
 An interesting feature of the conven. tion that preceded the vote on tho credentials committee report was the speech of Congressman Richmond

BRYAN IS NAMED ON
 FIRST BALLOT.
NebraSkdn Nominated For President by Large
 Majority.

Denver, July 15. - The Democratic party, assembled in national conven- ton, nominated William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska for president on the first ballot. John w. Kern Of h. iiana was nominated for vice president by exclamation.
 The speech by I. J. Dunn placing William Jennings Bryan in nomination awakened a whirlwind of demonstra- jon that rivaled in intensity and dura- ion any previous record breaking trib- ute, the crowd cheering for an hour and twelve minutes, despite the ef- forts of Permanent Chairman Henry D. Clayton, congressman from Alaba- ma, to restore order in the Auditorium.
 The names of George Gray of Dela- ware and Governor Johnson of Mime sota were also placed in nomination with demonstrations of approval from their limited followings.
 The tide of sentiment was. unmis- takably and overwhelmingly in favor of the Nebraska candidate. The plat form approved by Mir Bryan was unanimously adopted.
 Bryan's Great Vote.
 On the ballot for president MT. Bry- an received S921a votes, the others being divided between Gray and John son, who received 6515 and 46 votes respectively.

lapel of his coat.

run You in. Whatter you dom wear

wrath Of the officer into a grin by re-
plying:
