ment after considerable missionary
work had been performed upon the
delegation from Osmond. who had
come to the convention with the pur-
pose of "whooping her up" for Jim
Dahlman for the next governor of
Nebraska. They only gave in after
announcing that they were all going
to vote for Jim" in the primaries
anyway There were several sets OF
resolutions on the county option ques-
ton sprung on the resolution commit.
tee by the delegates. One delegate
wanted to declare against option and
in favor of Dahlman and adjourn An.
other had set of resolutions that had
a joker concealed, in that it opposed
county option but did not pledge or
instruct the delegates concerning the
same at the state convention. The
resolution as finally adopted by the
convention is as follows:
I'VE favor the submission OF a
proper amendment to the constitution
of the state permitting the people Of
the state of Nebraska full and unre.
stricted voice through the adoption OF
the initiative and referendum and
under it to settle economic questions
that do not properly belong to parti-
san politics. We do not believe that
any democrat should be required to
be tested as to his party fealty by his
views upon the liquor question and we
believe that the injection of the coun.
ty option question into our state plat.
form will be productive of only harm
/ and in nowise settle the question in
the proper regulation of the liquor
traffic within the state"

Como, June l7.-Although divers
sent by the Italian Government work

with the finding of anything that
would aid in solving the mystery of
Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charltons
murder or serve as a clue to the fate
Of the woman's missing husband,
Porter Charlton.
Many visitors. including Americans
have come here from outlying dis
tricts and from adjoining towns to
watch the divers at work, and they
seemed greatly disappointed that
nothing more gruesome was brought
up from the bottom of the lake than
a ragged hat, an old shoe, and SINH.
lar articles Of apparel which were
found to have no connection with the
case.
Nothing was discovered that in any
: way would justify the supposition
that Charlton's body is in the lake,
and the search has tended to streng-
then the belief, entertained all along
by the police that Charlton has made
his way out of the country and may
now be on board some outward
