MEET T0FORM
A NEW PARTY
CBy United Press)


Chicago, July 10.-Many and varied
are the ingredients of the political pot
which began to sizzle here today and
out of which third party is expect
ed to be taken.
Leaders in various lines of liberal
thought and activities, progressives,
former Populists, single takers, Farm
ers' Alliance men, army and navy ser
vice men, sutfragists, government
ownership leaguers, non-partisan
leaguers, representatives or labor or
ganizations and many others were
among those gathered as delegates or
sympathetic spectators when the meet
was assembled at the Morrison hotel
Notwithstanding the diversity of
thees elements there was every indi-
cation that when the convention went
into session its deliberations would
result in the adoption of compre-
hensive platform upon which most Of
them could unit and the nomination
of candidates for president and vice
president whom they could support in
the November election.
Four separate conventions are
scheduled to be held simultaneously,
the Forty Fighters" the Single Tax
party, the Labor party and the Amer
lean Constitutional party. The first
three, although they may not be
amalgamated, are expected to run
along co-ordinately.

ON ADJUSTMENTS
Strong Minority Report
Submitted to the Gen
eral Conference.

The majority report Of the commit,
tee OF "amusements" Of the Methodist
General Conference now in session at
Des Moines, Iowa, tayors the retain
Ing Of the paragraph Of the discipline
which provides what course is to be
pursued toward members who violate
the amusement restrictions while the
minority Of the committee made a re.
port also which evidences a distinct
division Of opinion. The majority re,
port asks that the paragraph stand
as it Is and that the conference vote
upon it without delay.
Paragraph g Of the Methodist dis
clpline advises very strongly against
dancing, card playing, theatergoins,
horse racing and certain other amuse'
rlents and the majority report recon-
mends that this stand as the pro
nouncement Of the attitude Of the
church on this matter. 1t is the opin.
ion OF the minority that paragraph 81
sufficiently defines the attitude Of the
church as being against such diver
sions and asks that paragraph 2so,
which defines the course to be pursued
toward members who violate these re.
strictions, be amended by striking out
the words dancing, playing at games
Of chance, attending theaters, horse
races, circuses, dancing parties, or
patronizing dancing schools"

Yesterday the Interstate Commerce commission or
dered the five railroads centering at Galveston to unload
21OO cars Of grain in the yards at that point and restore
the cars to service. The dispatch from Washington tell
ing Of this has something to say about the lack OF CO
operatiop on the part of shippers. But the Galveston
incident does not furnish a text for a sermon upon the
shortcomings Of shippers although it is admitted that
these shortcomings are many and have contributed not
a little to the Jam that exists. When grain stands in
cars at a port like Galveston it is a sign that the ter
minal facilities are inadequate or that the railroads are
not keeping the check upon traffic conditions that they
should.

aMadge Evans Hats
for Little Girls

We haven't said much about these popular
modes lately but nevertheless we are selling lots
of them right along.
"Madge Evans" Hats are exact duplicates Of
those worn by the pretty little movie star IN her
pictures. They are made Of soft, durable straw
in shapes especially suitable for pretty little
girls heads. They are made for plenty Of ser
vice but the element Of comfort has been carefully
considered and 1t may be said that 'Madge Ey-
ans" Hats are really the most satisfying Of 81
hats for girls from three to a dozen years old.
The colors are black, white and navy blue
and each Hat is trimmed with an attractive NIB
BON band or streamer Of very good quality.
Little girls in Fairmont should ask their
mothers to look at our "Madge Evans" Hats
we know they will like them because they are
very good and also because they are enact
" like those little Miss Madge wears.

is CALLED BY DEATH

Mrs. Clara L. Gordon, widow of the
late DR.. Joseph, c. Gordon, died a few
minutes past Z o'clock Friday even
ing with Ill Der children at her bed
side. She did not suffer in her last
hours, but gradually passed from the
deep sleep in which she rested into
the sleep of death.
A beautiful life is ended, always
the same CHEEKY, pleasing, manner.
To know her was to love her, and
profound sorrow fills the hearts today
Of the entire community.
Her life was course marked with
deeds of kindness. Sunshine, not
shadows; flowers and not thorns did
she scatter all along the course.
Truth was the inspiration of her life
and by good deeds she exemplified
it's great worth.
Mrs. Gordon was before her marri-
age to DR.. Gordon, Clara Corey. She
was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank and Lucinda Corey. She was
born in the state of Vermont. When
a small child she came to Mount Ver-
non with her father and mother her
father buying what is now the j.. s..
Ringwalt store. He later sold fhe
store to Mr.. Curtis, relative, and
moved to Bristolville, Ohio, where she
lived until she married DR.. Gordon.
When child she joined the Congre-
gational church and has always been
a devout worker in that church.
She was member of the WOman's
Relief Corps, having filled every chair,
She is survived by four children,
namely, Mrs. Lulu M. Canning Of Co.
lumbus; Mrs. Stella~P. Smith of Cum
berland, Nd; Joseph c. Gordon of Ak
ron, Ohio; and by Mrs. Helen Louise
Legge of Cumberland, Md, also by
one brother Burdette Corey of Niles,
Ohio, and by eleven grand children.
The funeral services will be held
Monday afternoon at 2:3O In the old
home, on West Sugar street, where
she and DR.. Gordon began their life
of happiness together so years ago.
Interment will follow in Mound View
cemetery beside her husband and one
daughter, Mary Pearl Ensminger, who
passed away two years ago.
