COMMITS SUICIDE
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Henry Archer, Jr., son of Mr.. ard
Mrs. H. j. Archer, who lived in Con-
way for several years, shot and in
stantly killed himself at their home in
Little Rock at 80 o'clock last night.
Young Archer, who was only II
years of age, was married or. May
28 to Mss Agnes Fitzgerald, but the
wedding was kept secret until yester-
day afternoon, when the boy inform
ed his father The elder Archer OBJ
jected to the match and declared the
couple could not live together.
"If you don't, I'll shoot myself" re-
sponded the younger Archer. Think
ing his son was only joking the elder
Archer replied: well, there1l be
one fool less in the world if you do"
After his son had threatened to
shoot himself the elder Archer went
to his buggy and drove to the resi-
dence of Mrs. Fitzgerald, where he
informed her of the secret marriage
of their children.
While at the Fitzgerald residence,
621 Victory street, a young man
brought the news of the tragedy, and
the grief-striken father rushed home.
Not until he had viewed the lfeless
body of his son did the father realize
what had happened.
When he looked upon the body of
his boy who had killed himself rather
thau cause the name of his girl-wife
to become involved in a family affair,
the father suffered a nervous coll
lapse.
The mother of young Archer, to-
gether with his blind sister, Alma,
were on the second floor of the family
residence when the shot that ended
the life of the young husband was
fired. Rushing to his room they
found his body lying on the floor, a
, 38-calibre revolver clutched in his
right hand.

GOV. MARSHALL,
VICE-PRESIDENT
DEMOCRATS HARMONIOUS
MPLE e TICKET ADOPT
PLATFORM AND END LONG
CONVENTION.

Baltimore, July 3.-For president
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey.
Fer vice president-Governor Thos.
R. Marshall Of Indiana.
This was the ticket completed by
the Democratic national convention
at 1:56 o'clock this morning. The
nomination Of Governor Marshall for
vice president came partially as a
surprise, for when the nights ballot
ing for vice president began it seem
ed that the Bryan Wilson contingent
in the convent on had settled definite
ly upon Governor John E. Burke Of
North Dakota.
There was not much of a fight,
however, and when two ballots dis
closed Marshall easily III the lead
Governor Burke's name was with
drawn and Marshall was proclaimed
the nominee by acclamation A min
ute later the convention had adjourn
ed sine die
Governor Wilson was nominated at
the afternoon session on the forty
sixth ballot and his nomination, like
that Of Governor Marshalls tonight,
was quickly made unanimous.
The best of feeling pervaded both
sessions.
Mr.. Bryan had announced his in
tention of introducing resolution in
effect discharging the national COM
mittee from the conduct of the COM
ing campaign and allowing Governor
Wilson to appoint his own campaign
committee. He was dissuaded from
this course, and instead Of making a
move that might have stirred up
strife, he made little speech which
he termed his "valedictory' and in
happy mood turned over the mantle
Of his former leadership as a presi-
Dental candidate to Governor Wilson.
He pledged his faithful support to
the pres dental nominee and ended
by urging that either Governor Burke
or Senator George Chamberlain of
Oregon be nominated vice president.
The Nebraskan was understood par
tcularly 10 favor Governor Burke as
type of the modern progressive.
The platform, hewn out in commit
tee several days ago and warmly
praised by Mr.. Bryan, was adopted
with a whoop.
At the end of the long bitter fight
members of the convention reunited
and were unanimous in predicting
success for the ticket. Bryan was es-
pecially well pleased, issuing a state
ment in which he predicted a Demo-
cratic majority of two million in No
vember.

Illinois held caucus before the

the subject of breaking to Wilson
but decided to "stand pat" for CLARK

The twenty-seventh ballot was en-
livened by an attack upon William ]
Bryan by John B. Stanchfeld of the
New York delegation, who declared
that mo candidate can go from this
convention stigmatized with Bryan
ism and come within a half million
votes of election"
The deadlock in the convention
seemed more complete than ever
when adjournment was taken al
12:43 o'clock a. m. until noon today
Woodrow Wilson had made steady
gains throughout the Monday ballot
ing, until he reached a high water
mark at SOL 1-2 votes on the 39th
ballot He remained stationary on
the fortieth ballot, but began to lose
ground. The last ballet was the AID
when Governor Wilson polled 494
votes.
Speaker Champ Clark reached the
lowest ebb of his candidacy on the
ballot where Wilson reached crest

time, but Immediately began to pick
