Three state Conventions on for Elec-
ton of Delegates.

Chicago, May 15.-Democrats of
Michigan, Tennessee and South Caro-

vors an uninstructed delegation.
The fourteen district delegates and
four at large from South Carolina may
be uninstructed. 1t has been conceded
the Wilson and Underwood factions
will be the strongest at the Columbia
convention.
With four presidential candidates in
the field and less than 20 per cent of
the 1851 delegates instructed, Tennes-

also will be uninstructed. All the can

on the delegation, it was said.
Republican conventions will be held
in eight Minnesota congressional dis

will be elected. The platform offers
the only feature of the Mississippi

Have Some of Fastest Amateur Players
In This Part OF State.

The crack Rock Island baseball
team of last year, which was disband-
ed recently has been reorganized- The
last years team was said to be the
fastest team in this section of the
state, barring none. Out of total of
Al games played but five games were
lost and these were lost to out of town
teams playing emi-professional base
ball
Practically all of last years play
will continue in the lineup this year.
so that with a years experience of
playing together they expect to beat
last years phenomenal record.
1t was generally regretted that the
team disbanded this spring and its
reorganizing will be welcomed by a
host of friends anr supporters. The
team last year was under the manage
ment of Arthur Hudson. At a meet
ing of the team last night Hudson re-
signed and Vincent Steele was chosen
as manager to succeed him.
The lineup of the team will be:
steele, catcher; Griggs, pitcher;
White, first base: Gibson, second base;
Myers, shortstop: Jones, third base;
Hudson, left field: Kepley. center field;
Downes, right field.
They are anxious to meet all corners
and say they will give any team a stiff
fight. For games address Vincent

BRYAN DENIES IT
Asserts That He Never Offered

Lincoln, Neb., May 16.-In an inter-
view here Tuesday w. J. Bryan declared
he never offered to put Governor Har-
mon in nomination but that he opposed
his nomination throughout The state
ment follows:
IT have read pres reports of Cover
nor Harmon's Wooster speech. He is
misiLformed on some points and evades
others. I did not offer to put him in
nomination at St. Louis. On the other
hand I objected to his nomination as
soon as his name was mentioned and
never withdrew my objection. did not
promise him a cabinet position in the
last campaign or at any other time.
HE does not answer my charge
against him, namely, that he has not
changed his sympathies since he helped
to defeat the Democratic ticket in 1896
He does not deny that he is the choice
of big business. He is not frank in
boasting of his own victories and my
defeats. To the first of my defeats he
openly contributed and he would not
be able to boast of his victories in 1e0s
and 1910 if he gave the public the real
reasons for his election"

FLEEING FROM FLOOD.
Hundreds of People Are Driven From
Home in Louisiana.

New Orleans, May 15.-Hundreds
of persons are fleeing before the flood
in the country just north of New Or
leans, on the opposite side of the Mis-
sfssippi river. The break that came
in the west levee last night is widening
and great fertile territory will be
added to Louisiana's thousands of in
undated acres. Thousands of persons
are in the path of the flood. The dan
ger. Of life loss is small, however, be-
cause government aid was at the
scene few hours after the break was
reported but the damage to towns and
plantations will be tremendous
Approximately 10000 persons will
be affected and probably half of this
number will be without homes until
the waters recede. A stretch of ter

throughout the interview. That's

didn't stay by her now. would ~" and
the grey haired man at the woman'S
side looked appealingly atNthe visitor.
The arrest of Mrs. Thomann has
caused a sensation in this county. The
woman is widely known here. She is
the daughter of Abraham Wuester,
one of the pioneer settlers in this sec
ton of the state. He is 80 years old
and quite feeble. For several weeks
Mrs. Thomann has spent most of her
time on her fathers farm near Beattie
and has made but few visits to her
home in Summerfield. WEBSTER not
only owns several hundred acres of
valuable land in Marshall county, but
his two sons, William and J. D. Wues-

ers. J. d. Wuester is cashier of the
Home City State bank, while William
Wuester is cashier of the Reattie bank
Not only is Mrs. Thomann's hus-
band wealthy, but it is rumored that
the woman owns considerable proper
ty in her own right. AS for Frank
Thomann, the husband, he is rated
as one of the richest men in the coun-
ty. 1t is Frank Thomann who is pres

it is Frank Thomann who owns and
operates the big red elevator, it is
Frank Thomann who holds clear
title to several of the best business
blocks in the little town in which ne
lives and who owns a valuable farm
near Summerfield in addition to 7OO
acres of we'll improved, rich, produc-
tive soil in Missouri.
The gossips in the little town held
their breath this week when Frank
Thomann went to Topeka and saw the
Frank Thomann came back to town
today and declared that he still be-
lieved his wife is guiltless, that the
sanctity of his home demanded that
he defend the woman he loved, the
scandal peddlers of the town gasped
again. And the attendants at the sew
ing societies were given new topic |
of conversation that will be kept
fresh and green for many days.
