Nathan Hale.

There are a few historical charac-
tiers in the history of America that
VIII be used as examples to the COM
ing generations for all time and one
OF the greatest of these is Nathan
Hale. He it was that did as much
II not more than General Washington
towards the formation of this glorious
republic. and in doing so gave up his
life willingly n as he stood at the
foot of the scaffold spoke the words
tina will stir the blood of all true
Americans for all time to come, II
regret that I have hut one life to give
for my country"
The playwright. Clyde Fitch, has used
the dramatic incidents in the life OF
Nathan Hale for his play of that
name. he has taken no liberties with
the history but has faithfully followed
the incidents as they occurred, and
the result Ia a stirring drama that is
capable of making the blood of a YER
liable coward fairly burn with the
desire to do or die for his country.
IT is a lesson in patriotism that is most
interesting and does full justice to the
bravery OF Nathan's intended wife.

appeared before the delegates to voice their acceptance and to pledge their best efforts to the coming campaign.
 For several hours the big throng in the Coliseum had listened to a flow of oratory in nominating and seconding speeches in which the dominant note expressed the belief that victory would come to the new party in the Novem- Der elections.
 Raymond Robbins of Illinois pledg- ed a 100000 majority for the national ticket in Illinois, and Clifford Pinchot predicted a 300,000 majority for Roose- welt and Johnson in his home state of Pennsylvania
 The party formally christened itself the Progressive Party" leaving out the prefix national" by which it has heretofore been known, but provision was made for the recognition of reap Progressives in any of the state by whatever name they should be To- cally designated because of state laws.
 The convention adjourned, the dele gates singing the doxology in lusty voice. During the three days it was in session there was not single roll call nor ballot taken. The dele gates asked no such formalities either in placing their candidates in nomina- tion or in voting for them. There was not a voice of opposition either to Col. Roosevelt of Gov. Johnson. The delay in nominating them was due to the large number of seconding speech es allowed.

how deeply sensitive I am to the way in which the nomination has come to me and to tell those who proposed and seconded my nomination that I appre- ciate to the full the significance of having such men and such women put me in nomination; and I wish to thank the convention for having given me the running mate it has given.
 There was prolonged demonstra- tion as Col. Roosevelt concluded. It was renewed when Gov. Johnson was introduced. He said:
 Tt is with the utmost solemnity, the deepest obligation, that I come to tell you that l have enlisted for the war.
 'I enlisted long ago, and I enlisted in that fight which is your fight now, the fight of all the nation, thank God, at last. Humanity's fight politically all over the land.
 "Enlisting as I have in that contest for humanity that desired government ally to make men better rather than to make men richer, there is no ques- tion of course, but that necessity. I accept the place with grateful heart. and with the utmost singleness of pur- pose to carry out as well as I may the little that may be my part to do.

 Mexico City. - Thirty-siX soldiers and more than 20 passengers were slaughtered by Zapatistas in a can yon, one kilometer north Ticuman, no miles southeast of Mexico City. Mea- ger details, which indicate the savag cry displayed was not less and prob ably was greater, than that which characterized the massacre of troops and passengers on train between CuernaVaca and Mexico City on July 20. So far as can be learned only a part of the train. crew escaped.
 The first story of the assault was sent back to Mexico City by Conductor Marin and Collector Dominguez, who, although wounded, had managed to make their way to Yautepec, 12 miles away, They were forced to steal through the Zapatistas lines and did not arrive at the telegraph station until some time.
 After firing had ceased the rebels swarmed down the hillside and set fire to the three cars attached to a train. A few of the wounded had crawled out on the right of way, thus escaping the fate of those unable to leave the cars. They were burned. According to reports received, the leader of the rebels made absolutely no effort to restrain the men from acts of brutality greater than any that has marred the campaign in the South. The wounded, pleading for their lives, were struck down without pity by the bloodthirsty rebels, and even footing was held in abeyance until the slaugh- ter was complete.
 Not satisfied with robbing their vic. tins in ordinary manner, the fingers of men and women were chopped off with machetes in order that the rings they wore might be more quickly ob- tained. Ornaments were torn from the ears of women and their bodies otherwise were multilated.

OLD SOLDIER SPEAKS
Confederate Veteran Talks to Progress
 sives During Convention.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Chicago-Col. Lloyd, a Confederate veteran, addressed the Progressive convention here while standing along side of Gen. King of New York.
 Col. Lloyd said in part:
 q come from the far South to add the loyal voice of the Southern Con federacy to the general acclaim. For 40 long years the South has slumbered For 40 long years the insidious tongue of ignorance has whispered hatred in her dull ear For 40 years the pail of prejudice has hung like a dark cloud over our vast domain. Men of small minds have fostered and augmented hatred and prejudice, but I come to you bringing a message of peace and a message of friendship, message of brotherhood. Politicians in both the Republican and Democratic par ties have famed the flame of hatred between the North and South and be- tween the races living in the South The Republican party was a factional party. It existed in the South only for the purpose of keeping up preiu- dices and misunderstanding between the North and South, but the educated and liberal minded men living south of the Ohio river have long ceased to carry heartache and ill feeling be- cause of the war

The third annual tour will be made during the latter part of October, and will circle through eastern Kansas, Kentucky and western Tennessee. MT. Folsom has already made arrangements with the leading towns and cities and will close all arrangements by September 10.
 "The recent announcement that the Arkansas on Wheels would make it's third annual tour has caused great in- terest throughout the state" said MT. Folsom, "and this week l have con cluded arrangements with many of the leading towns and cities for rep resentation on the train. One of the exhibit cars will be devoted exclusive ly to showing the products of the towns and cities of eastern Arkansas in the St. Francis and Mississippi ba- sin territory with the view of oyer- coming the bad impression that has gone out over the country from ao. counts of the recent overflow. It has been advertised that Arkansas was practically ruined by the high waters.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 St. Louis.-Capitalist here have be- come interested in the construction of an electric railway to connect Little Rock and Memphis, Tenn. Sufficient capital has been raised to insure the project, and company will be organ ized, probably within few days, to begin the enterprise.
 w. H. Langford of Pine Bluff, Ark. a director in the Pine Bluff-Arkansas River Railway, who also is interested in public untility properties in Arkan- sas, was in St. Louis in conference with local financiers regarding the proposed railway. He departed for Boston to close the financial arrange ments. Surveys for the proposed in- terurban already have been completed.
 The new line will follow mainly the route of the Little Rock-Memphis line of the Rock Island by way of Lonoke, Des Arc and Forrest City, Ark, enter. ing Memphis over the new Burlington bridge, the federal charter for which provides for it's use by electric lines. The electric road will traverse a thick ly settled agricultural section, includ- ing the Arkansas rice district.
 The new company will be organized with an initial capital of at least $10,- 000,000. Owing to the overflow lands of eastern Arkansas, the construction of the line in this section will be ex- pensive. It is estimated that the road will cost about $2S,O00 a mile for distance of 40 miles out of Memphis.
 The interurban will be 130 miles long.

ERADICATION PROGRESSES
South Loses Many Millions Yearly
 From Cattle Tick.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-According to A. D. White, government representative of the tick eradication station for Ark ansas and Louisiana, acting in con- junction with state and county au- thorities, approximately 1,500 head of cattle we're treated and freed from this pest in Arkansas during July. This is regarded as an excellent showing, considering the present stage of de- velopment of this work in Arkansas The government estimates that the an- nual loss to the South from this pest is $40,000, ,000, of which $2,000,000 is in Arkansas.
 The most successful way of ridding cattle of this evil, especially in this section of the country, is by driving them through a vat filled with water, which contains solution of arsenic, deadly poison to the ticks. The cost of the vats averages around $50. The following counties in Arkansas have been released from quarantine: Ben ton, Carroll, Madison, Washington, Randolph, Clay, Greene, Lawrence, Craighead, Mississippi and Poinsett.

 Miss Jane Adams of Hull House, Chicago, was among those who second ed Col. Roosevelt and she was enthu- siastieally greeted. The new party formally placed itself on record as favoring equal suffrage and further recognized the suffrage movement by providing for four women members at large on the national committee.
