The Augusta Steam Laundry is
doing a big business in the wet wash"
department. The journal scribe step
ped down into the lower floor Monday
morning where the individual wet
wash machines are harnessed to the
power that moves them and separates
the dirt from the fabrics. Here you
see each wash by itself. There is
no mixing of clothes or washinss
but they can at one time, with
these machines, run through 20
different lots of family washings
What is gained by doing this exhaust
ing uncomfortable work, which makes
Monday a day to be dreaded, at home
when soc. pays the bill? Lots of colds
are incubated on the Monday wash
day with it's steam.

BRYAN READS MESSAGES
 AND CUTS HIS ALFALFA

Fairview Lincoln, Neb., July IT, There were few visitors at Fairview today, and none of importance in political way. This did not, however, mean that MT. Bryan was not busy. His day began early and before hIs breakfast was completed the special wire between his office and Denver was pouring In .telegrams which. required. replies.
 Although there has been a perma- cottage in close proximity to the Bry- an home, for convention purposes, d special wire was run to his office and at his desk, near which the telegraph operator had been placed. MT. Bryan spent most of his time here until the Denver convention adjourned this aft ernoon.
 Visiting delegations and calls of per sonages high in the councils of the party during the past five days had given the democratic leader but little opportunity to read his voluminous cor respondence, and much of his time to- day was devoted to that duty. With his continental stenographer he vert over his mail, stopping only to make reply to the numerous telegrams which were placed on his desk during the early part of the day.
 To the persistent inquiries as to whether he would go to the Denver convention. MT. Bryan replied that at present he had no thought of doing so and knew of

no contingency which might arise to take him to Denver. You cannot tell what the future will bring forth.'' said he, but I know now of nothing which will take me to the convention city"
 MT. Bryan watched the convention bull letins closely and those reporting occa- sions which brought forth applause from the big Denver gathering were read with evident satisfaction andAcantented smiles, but not with looks of surprise.
 News from the convention did not pre- vent hirs. however, from taking a lively interest in the harvesting of his alfalfa crop and he viewed with deep concern the prospects of Its being garnered be- fore another rain should come Patrick Ryan. who devotes his time to making the Bryan farm productive, began now ing the alfalfa this morning while two other hands raked it into haycocks.
 "A large sweet, juicy Guadaloupe Tri- umph" watermelon is on it's way from Seguin. Texas, to Fairview Notice of it's shipment came in a letter from Dr. J. H. Vaughan of that place, who mem tions eight other admirers of MT. Bryan who have taken a hand in the develop ment and shipment of the melon. Dr. Vaughan in his letter says:
 Tt Is our hope that it's flavor may be the sweetness of victory; that it's size may be Illustrative of the democratic vote in November and that each seed may represent a Bryan vote in the elect oral college.p
 The writer adds that the melon was raised especially for you by Y. A. Mad dox,' who Is great admirer of the dem ocratic leader.

New York, July "A smart southerly breeze that followed in the trail of mild summer storm today filtrated through New York's sun-baked streets tonight. and brought some relief from the tropical spell that has killed nearly two score of persons, prostrated hundreds and held the city's population helplessly in its burning folds for over a week.
 Twenty-one persons succumbed to the heat today, a total of 3S deaths from that cause within the last 36 hours. Scores were prostrated today.

INSPIRING SPECTACLE.
Short Session of First Day Is Notable For Spectacular Effects.

Denver. July With cheers from 15000 throats with the swell of political oratory and the inspiring spectacle of a vast null titude of people, the democratic national convention began its deliberations today. The session, lasting a little over two hours. was notable rather for it's impress sive magnitude and spectacular effects than for the business accomplished. It gave, however, the opportunity for awaS- ening the echoes of convention enthus- iasm tho keynote speech of the tempor- ary presiding officer. Theodore A. Bell of California, heated sldrmish incidental to the contest in the Pennsylvania deleea- ton, and finally unanimous tribute of homage and respect to the memory of the late Grover Cleveland. But the enthus- iasm of the opening session was compar- atively brief intermittent and tempestu- ous. with that long sustained and fren- zied clamor which is still reserved for the future.
 The day was devoted chiefly to the primary formalities, and the committees appointed are now at work perfectng the permanent organization to be presented tomorrow. Meantime the convention chafes over the two days delay which must intervene before their great pur- pose is accomplished-the nomination of a presidential candidate. The tide of bTydn sentiment sweeps OH, gathering force as it proceeds, and tonight the chorus of Bryan. Bryan" Is well nisn universal. With 1t is a steadily swelling undercurrent for the nomination Of Geogre Gray of Delaware as vice presi- dent. and this movement, at first intan- gible, has now assumed a deflniteness which promises to merge 1t soon with the seemingly overwhelming current nov ing toward Bryan. Tonight the opponents of Bryan are still seeking to unite then strength against him with the hope of ultimately accomplishing his defeat

Idaho Is First Taken Up By
 The Committee
NO DECISIONS ANNOUNCED
Contest of Idaho Delegation Consumes Nearly the Whole Night and When It Is Concluded Illinois Is
 Next Taken Up.

Denver, July 7.-The credentials com- mittee met at o'clock in Fraternity hall but was delayed for some time Tn stenographer.
 Christopher G. Callahan of Holyoke, Mass, was elected chairman and D. H. Linebaugh of Atoka, Okla, was made secretary.
 Five states and the District of Colum- on each was limited to 30 minutes, with unlimited time for presentation of evil dence. The state notices were received from Pennsylvania, Idaho, Illinois, Ohio and New York. It was decided that all committeeman whose states were in- volved in the contests should be ex- cluded from the room until adjudication was made in the fights in which they were interested.
 The first case taken up was Idaho. When the committee had been in session for three hours the Idaho case was still under consideration, and Attorney John r. Nugent of Idaho, who was conducting the. contest. was still busy with his sec ond witness. The limitation of 30 min utee d sue dpplyllB OIliy to the dTBu- ments, and there being no limitation upon the amount or duration of the taking of evidnece. it began to look as if the Idaho case might last all night, and indefinitely delay the hearing of the Pennsylvania and other contests.

 After an extended executive session, -ths- committee decided that it would be proper to hear the evidence offered by the contestees and the hearing accordingly began in open session.
 The vote of the committee as to whether the contestees would be heard was 8 to 19. The discussion was heated at tSnes, and the interest of the entire committee was aroused.
 AS soon as the open session was re. sumed Attorney Jackson opened for the contesteeN The members of the commit tee who were without dinner were grow ing impatient at the amount of time consumed by the Idaho people. MT. Jack sons argument tended to show that the Dubois faction had a clear majority of the Twin Falls convention, claiming 1951a votes to 1001a for the contesting delega- tion. He was interrupted almost every moment by questions of the committee.
 After an extended executive session the committee decided that it would be proper to hear the evidence offered by tn contestees and the hearing accord ingly began in open session.
 Former Senator Dubois made the clos ing arguments for the contestees. He denounced the Mormons in vigorous terms, saying that they are not and never have been democrats The con testants desired to offer further evidence but the committee refused to hear it, and at 11:15 the case was closed after the hearing had continued for exactly six hours.
 At u;30 the committee took a recess for an hour. It was determined to an- nounce no decisions until after all con- tests are heard. After the recess the case of Illinois will be taken up.
