ings, and wearing all of her jewels.

pearl necklace, and on her head she
had placed a rich diamond tiara. Her
breast was covered with sunbursts
and other brooches set with dazzling
gems, and her fingers were bedecked
with jeweled rings. This was prior
to her ordering her carriage to go to
the home of Miss DubarrN at Madi-
son.
Her husband believes she commit
ed suicide. She has been sufferer
rom headaches for nine years. and
had also grieved over the death of
her eldest son.

M'ALLISTER WILL
BE A CANDIDATE
POPULAR SUPREME COURT JUS
TIcE WANTS ANOTHER TERM
ON The BENCH.

NASHVILLE. Tenn. Sept A.
Judge W. X. McAlister. Justice Of the
Supreme Court. will be a candidate
for reelection next August year. This
is understood from friends Of Judge
McAlister who have heard him ex-
press his desire to serve on the bench
another term. The fact that the high
court will convene for the September
term at Knoxville Monday gives rise
to much interest in the race although
it must be remembered that the
judiciary viii not be reelected until
1910.
The recent race between Judge Bell
and Judge Lansden indicated the
strength of these two Judges and it
has been generally thought that they
would be candidates two years hence.
This is true, as both of them have so
expressed themselves. Rumor has it
that Judge Floyd Estill, of Winches-
ter, will seek election, but this has
not been substantiated. Judge Estill
was a candidate in 1902.
All of these aspirants and Judge
Estill are from Middle Tennessee. AS
it is provided that no more than two
Justices shall be elected from the
same grand division, there will likely
be lively contest Judge McAlister
is very popular, his conduct on the
bench having won for him the highest
esteem. His long career on the
bench has been one of great credit
and as Chief Justice Beard will not
stand for reelection to the bench, 1t
is freely predicted that Judge McAlis-
ter will be elevated to the head Of
the court.

COL. BRYAN POINTS OUT THAT
CONTROLLING PARTY ELECTS
THE PRESIDENT.

OLNEY, ILL.,, Sept. 10.--That the
next house of representatives will be
Democratic was the promise made to
w. ]. Bryan when he arrived here
today.
Congressman Lloyd of Missouri, the
chairman of the congressional cam
paign committee, after making his
first preliminary canvass. has come
to this conclusion and passed the
word along.
1t was also pointed out that in eV-
cry instance where political party
has captured the house it has elected
its president. This has been true IN
every national campaign, except the
Hayes campaign when the house was
Democratic, but in that instance II Is
still insisted by many persons thal
Tilden was elected president.

Shall the city own and conduct Its
own water, light and gas plant? This
question was placed square up to the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen Thurs.
day night when Attorney w. S. Elem.
ing, representing thee Water & Light
Company, submitted a proposition to
the Board to sell the entire proper
ty, consisting of water, light and gas
plants to the city at a price to be
hereafter appraised.
The proposition will doubtelss come
as surprise to the citizens of the
city, though the matter had been qui-
city discussed with members of the
Board during the past week by on
GERS of the Water and Light Co.. 1t
is question, however, that has been
discussed in past years and met the
approval of many, though the objec-
lions of others were equally as strong
on the grounds that politics and graft
would probably cut too large figure
in the conduct Of this important en-
terprise.
As is well-known under the contract
between the Columbia Water Compa-
ny and the city, the city has a right
to purchase the water plant at an
appraised value at itervals of ten
years. The next opportunity for pur-.
chase on the part of the city would
fall in 1910. The city has no con-
tract, however, whereby they can pur-
chase the light and gas plants, and
this is the first opportunity ever Of
fered for such purchase. There was
no discussion Thursday night follow
ing the proposition submitted by Mr..
Fleming. That matter was simply re-
ferred to the special committee COM
posed of Aldermen Dale, Hayes and
Chaffin for consideration and with in
structions to report back. This is
the committee appointed to conduct
the suits brought by the city against
The Columbia Water & Light Co. and
he fact that the matter was referred
o them may have some significance.
Superintendent j. S. Robinson, of
he Water & Light Company, was seen
)y a representative of The Herald
his morning and asked if he was at
liberty to state what prompted the
'ffer on the part of Mr. Bigelow, who
'wns or controls the majority stock
md practically all of the bonds of
he company. Mr. Robinson said he
lad not discussed the matter with Mr.
3igelow and could not say, but that
lie thought perhaps in view of the
act that the company had never paid
NY interest on the bonds and no div
dends on the stock, and that the re- |

Be NOMINATED
STRONG SENTIMENT AGAINST
GOVERNOR AND BITTER FIGHT
TO BE MADE.
ELIHU ROOT NAY Be CHOSEN
Secretary Will Be The Nominee "
Opposition Can Only Unite
on Him.

SARATOGA. y. Y, Sept. 1S.-Any
idea that the Republican State Con
vention, which will assemble here at
3 D. m. tomorrow, would be a cut and
dried affair was dispelled by the de
veIopment today Of a situation which
may provoke bitter fight and end In
the nomination for Governor, not of
Hughes, but of any one of the several
men about whom the opposition has
been trying to gather.
The name OF Secretary Of State
Root was on many tongues late today.
Mr.. Root arrived at the United States
Hotel this afternoon. He is to act as
both temporary and permanent chair
man of the Convention. Soon after
his arrival, Chairman Timothy l..
Woodruff, of the Republican State
Committee, went to Mr.. Roots room
and was in conference with him for
more than an hour. AS they left the
room together, Mr.. Root was told of
the rumors connecting his name with
the nomination as the choice Of the
anti Hughes forces. At first he de-
clined to say word on the subject.
Pressed for an answer to the direct
question. Mr.. Root at last said:
well, you know I am delegate to
this Convention from Oneida County.
The people up here are all for
Hughes"
The situation on the eve of the
Convention is apparently accurately
stated in the following words of a
county leader bitterly opposed to the
denomination of Gov. Hughes:
There are more than enough anti
Hughes votes in the convention,
pledges or otherwise certain, to pre-
vent his nomination, and they will pre-
vent it if they can be united for any
one else. The leaders opposed to the
nomination of Hughes are trying to
agree on some other candidate. 1t is
possible that they Will succeed. Inc
trouble is that they are intensely jeal
GUS OF each other, each fearing that
some other may III some way gain
from the agreement they are seeking,
some special advantage over himself. |
Slch advantage might be of logical
character, or it might be very impor- i
tant. For instance it might material !
ly affect for better or worse some can
didate for the United States Senator
ship which will have to be filed by
the next Legislature"
Beyond a doubt the anti-Hughes
forces outnumber those in the Cover
nor's favor, and all that is lacking APP
pears to be combination in support
Of some one else.
