4 DENVER. COL. July 7.--Concession
on both sides. and success, or antago-
nism and defeat--this is the problem
still facing the Democratic convention.
AT the opening session the coolness
with which Mr.. Bryan's name was re-
iceived was so pointed that delegates
universally remarked on 1t. For ex-
ample. Temporary Chairman Bell, In
the course OF really great speech In
comparing Bryan and Roosevelt said:
why should tho people be in doubt,
when this convention will give the peo-
pie man who FOR the past twelve years
has been the embodiment OF all they
ask for?" At once great applause be-
gan, anJ1the reporters took the time.
expecting q demonstration surprising
tRoosevelt's ovation. The applause be-
gan at 1880 and ended at .1:32. The
same lack OF prolonged applause char,
acterized the whole session. This may
mean that Bryan's nomination Is SO
sure that all interest is lost, or It may
express apathy Of ofdelegates toward him
personally.
Certainly there was no. lack OF en-.
thusiasm over Chairman Bells spcech,
It was a mastery appeal to Democrat
principles, and a searching and power
ful arraignment OF Republican empty
promises and corrupt alliances. II the
platform Is framed on lines laid down
by Bell. the Democratic party will have
excellent chances for success. Indica.
tions are abundant that strong effort.
are being made to harmonize ali fac.
tions on the platform. With conser.
vatism Mr.. Bryan's chances are yer,
bright: with untcmpered radicalism re.
volt against him will be disastrous.
In anticipation OF 1912 the nationa
committee is organizing without regard
Ito Mr.. Bryan. Ordinarily the NOMINEE
selects the national chairman. It |.
stated this afternoon to your represen.
ttative as highly probable that Mr.. Bryan
would not be consulted unless HI.
choice is for Tom L. Johnson. This j.
not meant as an afrront to Mr.. Bryan
but as an effort to put the Democrats,
party in winning shape for this cam
paign or the next.
Both sides know that half-heartet
support or 4an open split means disas
ter to the Democratic party and con
tinuance in power to Republicans. Thi.
knowledge has healed many heart
burnings, and is harmonizing many
| differences. AS this paper has con
sistently said, It Is a case OF mutua
1 concession and good hope ofsvictory o
4 uncompromisIng demands from boil
1 sides and certainty OF defeat. The out
look Is bright for concessions.

TOXIC. June 2.--The action taken
by the American Congress in appro-
priattng $500. 900 for the Toxic grand
exposition In 1912 has done more than
anything else to convince the public
that the highest thought OF America

The expressions of those who We're
discouraged by the proposition to

their praise OF the United States. It
is believed that the lead now set will

has been done by America.

Last Days of An Old School.

With the raging of the Scott street school, one of the oldest educational buildings of the city will disappear al ter having done good service for more than a third of century. The Build ings and grounds Committee recently decided to have the building torn down and the material used in erect ing a warehouse for school supplies on the premises owned by the School Board at Eighth and Louisiana streets, in the rear of the present building.
 The raging of the old building will not commence until the first Monday Of the Christmas holidays and it will be torn down by the time the public schools open after New Years. The reason for choosing this time is that the high school is close to the Scott Street School and it was feared some student might be struck by the fallinC brick and timber.

Mrs. White Given Damages.

In the Crawford County Circuit Court at Van Buren Saturday morn ing, jury in the case of Mrs. Laura C. White of Argerta vs. the St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern Railway Company, returned verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of s7.500 or just half the amount asked.
 The suit was brought to recover damages from the defendant company for the death of the plaintiffs son, John White, employed in the capacity of brakeman, who several months ago was killed in a wreck between Van Buren and Little Rock. Failure or the railway company to equip it's en- zines with electric headlights was set up as the primal cause of the young mans death, and this, Col s. R. Chew, for the plaintiff. was able to establish in the minds of the jury.
 The case will be appealed to the Supreme Court.

Family of Ten Is Unhurt.

Related reports from the several sections in western Arkansas which were touched by the two tornadoes of last Monday afternoon make neces- sary a revision and reduction of the death list as first reported.
 Owing to the prostration of the tele- phone and telegraph wires the gath ering of authentic information has been difficult and the difficulty was in creased by the fact that the great est less of life was repOrtel into the towns by people who had heard only first reports.
 Richard Hill, who was reported killed near Mulberry, was in the woods when the tornado swept by, but was not hurt. The report that he was killed grew out of the fact that he was in the track of the storm and did not return home for many hours after the storm passed.
 The death list, unless augmented by the death of some of the injured or later reports from interior points, is as follows

College Correlation Plan.
VlIlP'

Friends of Henderson College ex- nress themselves as well satisfied with the action of the conference in the nlan of correlation of the three Metho- dist colleges in this state Hendrix, Henderson and Galloway Under the action of the Little Rock Annual Con ference Henderson may become jun for college after 1910, but it is to remain coeducational It was on this point that the opposition of Tender. son college was centered, as the scheme of correlation first advanced was taken to make Henderson a school for men and boys.
 Rev. W. F. Evans, one of the strong friends of Henderson college, said Sunday he was satisfied with the ac- ton taken by the conference. which provides that the rating of the school after 1910 shall be left to the General Board of Education of the Southern Methodist church. If the school can conform to the standards of this board for degree conferring institution, it will be allowed to confer degrees af- ter 1910, otherwise it will become a junior college, with power to grant di- plomas, but not to confer degrees.

Both bull lets took effect in Ford's back. Fatal iy wounded, he staggered, then turned, facing his slayer. Another bullet was fired and it lodged in Fords chest.
 Satisfied that his victim was fatal y wounded, the murderer cooly walk ed to where Ford was writhing in agony, stood over him for moment and then plunged into the underbrush going toward the river.
