RUFNEX DEFEATED.

The game last Sunday, between
the Ely Rufnex, and a nine from
White River, was not much of a
game SO far as the local players were
concerned The Preston and Lund
combination rather put 1t over the
Rufnex. the final score being 10 to
Sin favor of the visitors. 1t is diff
ficult to locate the slump by the Ruff
mex after their brilliant defeat of the
Veterans, the week previous, unless
on the general principles that pride
goeth before a tumble The farm
ers did about as they pleased all
during the game, and Banged JAS
soy, the Rufnex pitcher. all over the
lot. recording Is safe hits. OF which
five were doubles. This unusual ex-
hibition on the part of the local
twirler was copied more or less by
other members of the team. while
the visitors were all in good form
and accepted about every chance that
came their way.
Weather conditions may have had
something to do with the results, as
the wind blew almost a hurricane.
However, the breezes and poor con-
dition af the grounds did not ap-
pear to have bad effect on the
White River aggregation. and the
wabbly exhibition of the Rufnex was
undoubtedly attributed to general
ly of day, such as comes to all
champion ball teams. The score by
innings was as follows:
II II Il
w. r. % l 3 % l IL 0-19 Is 6

The Rufnex are by no means dis
couraged. and this afternoon will
have an opportunity TO make good
again, as the Steam Shovelers from
Copper Flat. are coming to Ely, for a
game on the home grounds at 2:S0
o'clock. The visitors are a husky
bunch, averaging about 200 pounds
apiece, and their agility and ball
science will be clothed in brand new
uniforms, worn for the first time.

WILL PULL THE PULLMAN OFF.
Vice President and General Man

wee fIesluehL and 8Generals Man
ager L. G. Cannon of the Nevada
Northern railway returned last
night from a business trip to San
Francisco. While there he met the
traffic officials of the Southern Pa
cifie and took up with them the mat
ter of the Ely-Salt Lake Pullman SER
vice, via Cobre, with which situation
News readers are already familiar.
The result of Colonel Cannon s
conference with the Southern Pacific
was disappointment, as the Pullman
service is to be discontinued at the
end of two weeks. The reason as
signed is that the Southern Pacific
does not care to haul the car over
its line. for the limited patronage it
receives, resulting in financial loss
to the railroad, besides adding un-
necessary weight to already heavy
through trains.
This action on the part of the
Southern Pacific Is considered final,
and is not pleasing to the many
travellers to and from Ely, willing to
pay for the comforts and con-
yenienees of the Pullman service. 1t
is suggested that the Ely CONNER
cial League take up the matter with
the railroads, in an endeavor to have
at least a parlor car between the
two points, as the withdrawal of the
through service is going to be a de-
cided inconvenience that will tend to
work to Ely's disadvantage.

BALTIMORE, Md. June 29.-At
the conclusion of the twenty-sixth
ballot, the Democratic national con-
vention adjourned shortly before
midnight, until Monday, apparently
no nearer the choice of presiden-
tial candidate than when the ballot
ing commenced Wednesday Champ
Clark, the favorite since the open
ing of the convention, still led, the
vote at the twenty-sixth ballot
standing Clark 467 u, Wilson 405,
Underwood 1124, Harmon 20, Mar
shal 80, Bryan /, Foss 43. The
Massachusetts, and Vermont vote was
cast for Foss. Wilson's gain was the
signal for a fifteen minutes demon
stration from his supporters, and
it was with difficulty that order was
restored. Clark's followers also
commenced cheering for their can
didate, and in the mix-up of en-
thusiasm two men came to blows
near the platform. Wilson enthus-
iasm was given a fresh start when a
big banner, bearing Wilson's por-
trait and inscribed Our Next Presi-
dent" was brought into the hall.
Indications tonight are not eonsid-
cred favorable to Bryan, as the pos
slble dark horse of the convention.
There will be conference of party
leaders tomorrow, at which 1t is ex-
pected Speaker Clark will be present,
as he left Washington suddenly this
afternoon for Baltimore.
1t has been long, hard day, dur
Ing which the convention struggled
in the sultry heat, but struggled liz
vain to bring about nomination.
The final ballot of the session found
the delegates perspiring at their
task, many of them on the verge of
prostration. Clark lost ground dur

from 554 to sos votes on the twenty
first ballot. despite the fact that New
York remained loyal
Wilson's gain from 1858 on the
thirteenth to 395 on the twenty-frst
ballot, gave his stock a pronounced
boost and aroused the enthusiasm of
the Wilson supporters. The Clark
delegates were clearly worried. Kan
sas was the first important state to
desert Clark in body.
Bryan added to the heat of the
convention in a sensational speech,
in which he said he had deserted
Clark because Clark had accepted
the support of Charles F. Murphy
and Tammany Hall" He also said
he would desert Wilson If the latter
accepted the support of "the inter
ests."
When asked from the floor if he
would accept the nominee of the con.
vention elected with the help of the
New York delegation, he said in sub
stance Il am content to make pro-
test beforehand

tion now holding the public atten-
ton.
The Democratic, like the Republi-
can convention. has been split by
eontendihg factions, and while the
relations of the brethren assembled
at Baltimore, have not been quite SO
strained as the situation at Chicago,
not much has been accomplished in
the way of actual results.
The convention opened Tuesday,
according to schedule, and friction
developed at once upon the national
committees choice of Alton B. Par
ker, as temporary chairman. Parker
was openly opposed by w. j. Bryan,
who classed him as a "reactionary,"
and issued a statement that a PRO
gressive" candidate must be made
temporary chairman. The action of
the Nebraskan precipitated the first
fight of the convention and Bryan's
speech, when he nominated Senator
John w Kern of Indiana for the
temporary Craftsmanship, opened hos
tilities.
Chairman Mack called the conven-
ton to order at IL 16. The vener-
able Cardinal Gibbons, in his brill
liant scarlet robes. pronounced the
opening invocation.
The first cheer was for Woodrow
Wilson as the Texas delegation
marched up the aisle bearing a ban
ner inscribed Forty Votes for
Woodrow Wilson. the People J,
Choice"
Bryan slipped in at side entrance
and received a round of applause
Judge Parker entered just after the
opening.
Then Bryan rose suddenly on the
platform and was greeted by tre-
mendous cheering.
Senator Kern followed. He asid he
wished to take no action that would
prejudice Indiana's candidate for the
presidency, Governor Marshall. He
said he had appealed to Parker to
unite with him and support O'Gor
man, Culberson, Clayton, or one OF
n bar nf 4fb hA 10
said Il believe Parker is as earnest
ly desirous of democratic success as
am" He then nominated Bryan.
Bryan again spoke. He said he
had appealed to one leader after an
other to accept, without success. IF
no other progressive appears l shall
accept the candidacy" he concluded.
Theodore Bell took the platform
to second Parker's nomination. Great
disorder interrupted his speech. Rep
resentative Fitzgerald followed,
speaking in behalf of Parker. He
spoke amid derisive yells.
A squadron of police was brought
in and marched down the aisle3 to
quell the disturbance.
Parker was chosen temporary
chairman by vote of 579 to sos for
Bryan.
Parker in his speech of acceptance
of the chairmanship. characterized
the Chicago convention as a dis
graceful brawl and said the danger
of Roosevelt threatened the country.

He urged constitutional provision
against third term.
The choice of Parker as ternpor-
ary chairman seemed to indicate that
Bryan was eliminated as dominant
factor, but following results showed
that the man from Nebraska was
very much in evidence. for On We'd
nesday, Ollie James of Kentucky, and
progressive, was chosen permanent
chairman.
Bryan was again recognized as a
power in the convention when he
with O'Gorman was selected to draft
the platform.
The first ballot for candidate for
president was completed at 7:15 Fri
day morning, following an all night
session and the adoption of a reso-
luton presented by w. J. Bryan op-
posing "any candidate who is the
representative of Thomas F. Ryan,
August Belmont, J. Pierpont Mo-;
gan, or any other member of
the privilege-hunting, favor-seeking
class" This portion of the Bryan
resolution was adopted by vote of
$50 to 1876, not voting 2, absent 1.
Clark led on the first ballot, with
Wilson second, but as no candidate
was within a thousand rows of ap-
pie trees of having the required two
thirds of all the votes. an adjourn

What Is Americas
Greatest Sin?

Atlanta, March 5.-Not a single;
minister in Atlanta agrees with the
religious expert" Fred B. Smith,
who declared in much-heralded
address here, that Americas great

The local ministers who have
expressed opinion consider that Mr..
Smiths statement is irrelevant, be-
cause, they say, while ingratitude is
a great sin, it is in no sense pecul
lar to this nation and this time.
The majority of Atlanta ministers
consider that "materialism," with its
various phases including greed"
putting of gold above good" etc,
is really Americas greatest sin
because most widespread, most un-
usually developed in this country
and this time
A few Atlanta ministers consider
that impurity, in the sense of inn
morality, is Americas greatest sin.
but not a single one deems that
there is anything particularly strik-
ing in saying that Americas great
est sin is ingratitude.

Goddard was a highly respected

suicide except his worry over bust
ness troubles. He had a bakery at
206 Pulliam street.
Goddard got up yesterday morn

before breakfast.
