After a series of the most successful flights ever seen in the west, Horace Wild and his airship "Eagle" are established at White City in Chicago, where they have vied with fine weather In bringing the amusement park almost a record attendance during the last few days. Mr. Wild has gone higher and farther, shown more complete mastery, and an absolute fearlessness that have made his ascensions, repeated every

day when the weather conditions are not absolutely forbidding, a source of eager inquiry to thousands. Alessandro Liberatl and his grtind military band opened a series of concerts in the White City plaza last Sunday afternoon, playing programs made up almost equally from the great Italian operatic composers and from the tuneful and catchy music of the day. Sig. Liberatl is heaid at every concert in solos upon the cornet, an instrument of which he is a master, and the celebrated French tenor, A. L. Guille, sings every evening. John F. Carroll, director of the free open air hippodrome at the north end of the plaza, presented a complete change of bill for the current week on Sunday, including Campbell and Brady, club jugglers; Fisher and Johnson, in a comic bicycle turn; and Scheppes dog and pony circus. Toddles, the riding elephant, has also been added to the list of plaza attraction?, and the vaudeville theater on the east side of the board walk has a complete change of bill this week.

the national Democratic committee to investigate the charges made against

National Chairman Thomas E. Tag-

gart, and demand ins resignation u

they were proven, and the nomination of Charles II. Kimmerle, of Cassopolis, for governor, over Stanley E. Park-

hill, of Owosso. the only other candidate, after a spirited ballot, were the

features of the Democratic state convention, held here.

Ticket That AVas Nominated. About 3T0 delegates attended the con

vention, and placed the following tick

et in nomination: Governor, Charles

II. Kimmerle, Cassopolis; lieutenant

governor, uusn uuiver, Marquette;

secretary of state, P. J. Devine, Stanton; state treasurer, Charles Wellman.

general, John Yuell, Vanderbilt; super

intendent public instruction, Elmer It. Webster, l'ontiac; state land commis

sioner, Clarence L. Sheldon, Bay City;

member state board of education, Jas. E. Sullivan, Muskegon.

Anti-Taggart Resolution. The resolution asking for the investi

gation of National Chairman Taggait

was presented to the convention by Chiirman Fowler, of the resolutions committee, after the platform had been adopted. E. O. Wood, of Flint, ex-

chairman of the state central commit

tee, was on his feet as soon as the resolution had been read with a motion that it be laid on the table. He said

that there was nothing to prevent wholesale unproven charges being

made against any man, and that it was improper and wrong for the con

vention to take any cognizance of such

charges. Another delegate observed

that the convention had plenty to do looking after its own business withotrt

interfering in other people's. Edward

Ryan, of Houghton, vehemently at

tacked the motive which he said was

responsible for the resolution.

Indorsement ot Bryan.

The resolutions declare against com

binations and trusts and declared re

lief impossible from Republican

sources. The indorsement of imam

J. Bryan is as follows: "Fully believ

ing in the honesty, integrity and wis

dom of William Jennings Bryan, and that under his leadership the people would receive relief from the many ills

above referred to, we commend him

to the people of the United States as a

candidate for president in 1908." Other Platform Declarations.

The resolutions further favor the nomination of all candidates by direct

vote; nomination and election of Unit

ed States senators by direct vote;

passengerrate of not more than 2 cents

a mile in the lower peninsula and

cents in the upper peninsula; the elim

ination of the use of the cross at the

Inittee, furnished the only exciting in-

.cident in the Democratic state conven

tion in this city. Siver Serumgard. candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor, openly charged. Brynjolfson with spiriting away George Wilkinson, who stated at the Democratic national convention at St. Lonis in 1134 that the North Dakota delegation had sold out to Tarker for $1,000 each. Serumgard said that Wilkinson promised to sign a written retraction and that owing to Brynjolfsou's iuiluence he disappeared. The charge precipitated a fight in the convention between Senator Cash-

el, of Grafton, and Brynjolfson for ehairnum of the new committee. Cashel won by a vote of 14G to lot'.. Bryn

jolfson denied the charges. Otherwise

the convention was free from ineident. The ticket nominated is headed by John Burke, of Ramsey, for governor.

For representatives in congress A. G.

Burr and John D. Benton were nominated. The platform indorses W. J. Bryan for president and declares in

faor of equal taxation, extension of the primary election law to state officers, popular election of United States senators, and other similar principles.

London, Aug. 3. When the debate

on the second reading of the educational bill was resumed in the house of lords, the Duke of Devonshire said: "It is the duty of this house to show the country that it is opposed to the violent and unnecessary disturbance of our educational system, which has existed for the past thirty-six years, and of which we have no cause to be ashamed. Until we have done this, and

until we know how our efforts in that direction are regarded by his majesty's government and the other house of parliament this house will not be called upon to take that final and momentous decision which at some later period will have to be taken and which may in connection with the present bill."

vonshire are taken as foreshadowing

On being assured by Mack that it was all right Troup hastened to withdraw his objection and Hill was elected without further discussion.
