any other section in the state on its

KILL ALDERMAN
Peculiar Circumstances
Surround La Crosse
Mans Death.

A powerful drug, dropped into his
drink by one of trio of strangers
when his back was turned, was the
cause of a years illness and ultimate
death of former Alderman Carl q.
Forester, according TO the story he
himself told friend few weeks after
he claimed the drug was given him.
The motive for the administration
of the drug, Mr.. Forester believed
was robbery, he at the time having
more than $500 in cash hidden in two
cigar boxes which were concealed
among about fifty other boxes in the
cigar case. The attempt at robbery was
made in the saloon on Twelfth street
and Mormon Coulee road of which
Mr.. Forester was proprietor at the
time.
On Circus Day.
According to the story told by Mr.
Forester to friend on his return from
Rochester, Mimi, where he was taken
for treatment and from whence he re-
turned apparently cured, the crime
which resulted in his death was COM
mitted the day Barnum and Bailey
circus was in La Crosse last year.

friend, Mr.. Forester suffered relapse

 After the fifth ballot had been an- nounced Chairman James asked the people in the galleries to keep quiet as possible.

(By James J. Montague.)

NDy JdllltS J, NCHtiSuN'l
 Boston. June 29-One fertile ballot just after the eald gray dawn, four equal ballots between four o'clock andt twilight, everybody watching everybody, everybody guessing, every oody tired. That was the story Of the days sess on of the convention.
 When adjournment came at seven, the result was as much of conjec- ture as ever.
 On the first ballot which was taken after what descriptive writers would call a gruelling all night session, the vote stood:
 Clark, 440 1-2; Wilson, 324; Under wood, 117 1-2; Harmon, 14S; Mar shall, 31; Baldwin, 22; Bryan, l.; Sulzer, ?.
 On the last ballot, announced at dinner time, the result was:
 Clark. All 1-2; Wilson, 351; Under wood, 119 12; Harmon, 143; Mar shall, 31; Baldwin, O.; Bryan, 0; Sulzer, o: Kern, 2.
 It will be made observed that Pro- lessor Wilson made slight gains, that Clark held Il $ own, that Marshall held Indiana unmoved, that Kern appeared as possible dark horse and that Baldwin, Sulzer and Bryan Were rubbed out during the course of the balloting.
 To take up the day more or less 1T detail, the uprising interests of the candidates during the all night ses- sion had more or less reacted or the nerves of the delegates, and the trim and tidy appearance of the hall.
 Oratory was still in progress wher dawn began to shift through the | windows. But it was little marked by the weary warwicks who were gather ed in the hall. The first ballot was perfunctory.
 But presently Governor Campbell of Ohio, struck note that thrilled
