by Each Party.

The Norris bill provides for a national

resentation would be based on partys
strength in the state.
Delegates to the convention would be
elected at primaries to be held the first
maries being certified by state officials
to the secretary of the interior, who
would canvass the votes.
Voters would express a first and Sec
ond choice for presidential candidates and
the candidate having majority OF the
first choice votes, as canvassed by the
secretary of the interior. would become
the nominee of his party. No action by
the convention in regard to the nominee
would be necessary unless none of the
candidates received majority, in which
case the convention would nominate.
The bill would not go into effect until
its provisions had been accepted and laws
in conformity with it passed by at least
twenty states.

Shooting at Webster
City Still Mystery

WEBSTER CITY, Ia, July 5.-(Special
Telegram-) )-The coroner's jury today
found no new evidence in the shooting
of William Reinhardt last night. 1t is
still mystery whether he was mur-
dered or whether it was the result of
careless shooting.
With his brother-in-law, Reinhardt was
driving to the city, when just over the
Bank street bridge three pistol shots
rang out. One struck Reinhardt in the
back and he died half an hour later
without having recovered consciousness.
Officers are inclined to think that
three shots indicate wi1ful murder. 1t
being the night of the Fourth, much
promiscuous shooting was indulged in
along the river. Not single clew. how
ever, has yet been obtained.

) Champ Clark was the victim of some
very bad advisers" said w. J. Bryan
when his train stopped for few minutes
was smiling as he stepped from the plat
form, and looked none the worse for the
ten days of strenuous work at the Bal
timore convention.
Il have nothing to say against Mr..
Clark he said, "he was merely the
victim Of bad advisers. If he had Joined
in the fight against Parker as Wilson
did. it might have been a very different
convention, for the chances in favor of
his nomination up to that time were very
good. But some of his advisers were
more anxious to humiliate me than to
nominate Clark They seemed to think
man could be Inundated by what
others do to him, whereas humiliation
must. come from the conduct of the man
himself if it comes at all.
THE resolutions against Ryan, Bel
mont, and the rest created such conster-
nation as was seldom seen in a conven-
ton. never expect to look upon such
scene again. 1t separated the sheep
from the goats. Possibly this statement
is not quite accurate because few Of
the goats slipped through at the last mo-
ment, but their names are known.
Wall Street Eliminated.
I'VE have a candidate for president. -
continued Mr.. Bryan, who was nomi-
mated without the aid of Wall street.
You can subtract all the crooked votes
from his vote and he will still have the
necessary two-thirds. He is under no
obligations to Mr.. Murphy and the finan-
cial interests back of him. And he will!
be stronger in New York for this very
fact than he would have had had his
nomination been brought about by
Murphy. The rank and file of the party
In New York is as much opposed to
the rank and file elsewhere, but in New
York they find it more difficult to ex-
press themselves In convention" e
II am only taking Mr.. Roosevelts word
for ~whats he Is sainss to do.s replied Mr..
Bryan in answer to a question.
Mr.. Bfyan's broad smile crept over his
face again when allusion was made to
the way the steam roller was used on
him in the first round Of the convention.
That, wasn't bad, however," he re-
marked.
He said he had no comment to make
on the selection Of national chairman
as thai would be left to the presidential
candidate.
AS to plans for the campaign Mr..
Bryan said he had nothing definite to
announce as he would now proceed to
h:s home in, Lincoln for a few days and
would then have two months of work on
the chautauqua platform. He said he
could not be present at the democratic
state convention as he would have chau-
tauqua engagements at that time.

Tea Drinking In Siam.

Tea is to be found in every tent and
dwelling in Siam. There is always O
kettle on the fire filed with tea and
prepared for drinking, which is done
by adding milk, butter and salt. This
is their way Of fixing this beverage
and is said to be pleasant after one
becomes accustomed to it. A peculiar
mode of hospitality is shown by these
people in reference to their tea. 1t is
always at the disposal of every stran-
ger and traveller. He need not ask for
it. Neither is it expected that he
should, but he must have his own cup.
This is imperative, and accordingly
every one carries II cup with him at all
times. Some of these utensils are mar
wells of workmanship and are highly
valued. They are generally made of
some fine grained wood and ofttimes
are lined with silver and gold.
