Primed with Cheers.

CHICAGO, July 27.-Primed to the
nozzle with cheers, which will be given
vent when William Randolph Hearst
appears on the platform to make the
keynote speech, the delegates to the
Independence party national conven-
ton swarmed into Chicago this morn
ing. Orches stra hall has Qeen elaborate
ly decorated for the occasion. Nearly
all the states have delegations, al
though the leaders of some Of them
admit that considerable effort was re-
quired to find a sufficient number Of
Hearst followers to make up the full
number. New York, Massachusetts,,
Pennsylvania, Illinois and California
have the largest and most enthusiastic
representation.
Men connected with the Hearst
newspapers in New York, Chicago.
Boston, San Francisco and Los Ange-
les, are much in evidence Among these
is John Temple Graves, the former
Georgia editor, now Of the staff of
Hearst's New York American, who
once became famous through a speech
in which he asked William J. b.yan
to retire from the presidential race in
favor of President Roosevelt. Another
prominent figure is Arthur Brisbane,
editor of the New York Journal and
said to be the highest salaried news
paper man in the world and who is
often called "the brains Of Hearst"
There is yet much doubt as to who
will get the presidential nomination,
as the party leaders appear to be back
ward about accepting the nomination.
Delegations from several states are
booming Hearst and Graves, but
Hearst has persistently stated that he
does not want the nomination. The
same attitude is taken by Thomas L..
Hisgen, the Massachusetts, oil refiner
who has been prominently mentioned
in connection with the presidential
nomination.
Among the active candidates are
Howard s.. Taylor, of Illinois; M. w.
Howard, Of Alabama, and Charles A.
Walsh, of Iowa. Dr. Taylor was city
prosecutor under Mayors Harrison and
Dunno and is now on the Hearst staff
Mr.. Walsh was former secretary Of
the democratic national committee.
Theodore Nelson, a leader of the Him
ois Swedish Americans, is also men
toned. Howard Of Alabama, was once
a congressman, having been elected by
TIE poruliets.
It is rumored that the men connected
with the Hearst newspapers are ar
ranging great demonstration for their
chief when he addresses the conven-
ton and that they hope to beat the
Bryan cheering record. The conven-
tion also expects to establish new
record for national political conven-

hypnotized.
W. ]. Kilburn. As years old,
wealthy contractor of Seattle, who was
here in high state of frenzy, is the
man who put the search in operation.
Kilburn and Mrs. Peterson were en-
gagged to be married tonight and she
has indicated that she would go to Sc
attic last evening. He went to the boat,
according to their arrangements, but
as Mrs. Peterson did not put in an ap-
pearance he boarded the returning
boat with the intention Of coming to
Tacoma to investigate the reason for
her failure to appear.
To his aston shment, when he board
ed the boat he found the woman in
company with a stranger, who repre-
sented himself to be Mrs. Peterson
lawyer and who. according to XII
burn, had her under such control that
she would have nothing to do with
him. When they reached Tacoma the
stranger and Mrs. Peterson suddenly
disappeared
Kiiburn, who had been sleepless since
last night, was certain that the mys-
terious man was a clever crook VINO
had hypnotized the woman with a view
to securing her fortune. He was well
nigh distracted and said he intended
to leave nothing undone until the mys-
terry was cleared.

Terrible Torture Undergone
BY Injured Man
MADE RECORD OF TORTURE
WITH BOTH LEGS BROKEN AND
SLOWLY STARVING WITH LIT
TIE HOPE OF BEING
FOUND, DYING MAN
KEEPS A DIARY.

HELENA, Mona, July 27.-After
living in terrible torture and agony for
16 days alone and without food. death
finally came to the relief of w. H. Gull
liver in the mountains near Olive sta
ton in Sanders county.
The only thing known about the
man is contained in a diary kept by
him while he was slowly dying.
The first entry reads: Notify my
people. My name is W. HI. Gulliver;
home, Birmingham, England; notify
wife, mother and child at X. E., South
street. 1 fell down the mountains and
broke my legs"
The next memorandum was made
the following day in which he said he
dragged himself through miles of the
wilderness with the broken legs dang
ling behind.
On the seventh day he wrote: Il
could see section men across the river
on a hand car; / yelled and am sure
they heard me-" ataakAa ,Ff}t
On the twelfth day he wrote: 'I'wo
young men passed me and promised
to go for help; they never returned"
1t is thought this last note was the
result of an hallucination. On the
sixteenth day he still had sufficient vi
tality to write: This is my last day."
The body was found in a state Of de-
composition. He was about thirty
years old.

FOR THIS MOTHER

Mrs A. G. Tuson, OF Livermore, Cal.
writes: Il picked up from my door
step one day little book in which
soon became very much interested.
My little girl of five years of age had
been troubled for a long time with
loss of appetite, extreme nervousness
and undue fatigue. She was all run
down and in very delicate condition.
This little book was very compre-
hensively written, and told of the new
method of extracting the medicinal ele-
ments of the Gods liver from the oil,
eliminating the obnoxious oil which is
SO hard for children to take.
Just the thing said I, for my little
daughter and Immediately went for
bottle of Vinol. 1t helped her won

nesh and strength, and she does not
