Democratic National Committee Confirms Bryan's Choice for Temporary Presiding Officer. Denver correspondence : A week in advance of the event Denver began filling up with visitors to the Democratic National Convention. Poltlcians and newspaper men gathered in large numbers to make plans for their respective delegations and journals, engaging quarters, reserving seats and seeing that wire accommodations are amply prepared. The Denver merchants, through the board of trade, planned municipal entertainments for all who might be within the city gates until lang after the nomination of democratic candidates, and the city's business men declared that not one word should go forth into the world derogatory of the city's care of Its visitors. Denver spent Its efforts and energies, throwing its heart and soul in one grand advertising effort. Underlying all Denver's claims to excellence is BRYAN "SAY, Chicago Jourral one basic principle that gives the city excuse for pretty nearly everything; that Is climate. The Denver climate is made to be responsible for all the good there is native In the State. ' Fine for the Fever Victim. There is a real danger In the Invigoratlon of the Denver atmosphere.

Colonel John I. Martin of St Louis, who has the seregant-at-arms habit, arrived a week in advance, coming early, he said, to prepare the hall and see that everything was ready in plenty of time. He found little to do

THOMAS TAGGART. in that line, and was free to plan his seating arrangements, ticket printing, and other details. Colonel Martin attended the Chicago convention, and said the Denver Auditorium was ahead of the arrangements there. Water from the Mountnlns. Colonel Martin and others interested in the preparations for the big convention said every iH)sible convenience would be given the visitors. They declared that if any one could make a suggestion which had not been carried out already they would be glad to go to any cost to see that it was made. One innovation which the managers planned BILL, LEND ME THAT TO USE Df was to bring the best spring waters from the mountains for the delegates and their friends. The national committee arranged for a brigade of boys in white suits and caps to deliver water to all parts of the auditorium, Includlug the telegraph operators in the basement. Every effort was made to deaden the noises In the Auditorium. All the wooden floors were covered with hemp matting. The stairs to the speaker's stand were also carjwted. Fifty seats will be saved by ehyrating the band on a temporary platform. The auditorium Itself Is a marvel. Tbe seats are all opera chairs. The committee lnsf octed the convention hall with the beaming John I. Martin, the standing sergeant-at-arms of all recent Democratic conventions. They found all arrangements at the Auditorium in excellent shape. The hall Is not as large as the Coliseum at Chicago, but it dresses up well, and the row of boxes along the outside help to nake the spectacle a brilliant one. Then the committee met in executive session to select he temporary and permanent presiding olllcers of the convention and to formulate the slate for the chairmanships of the big committees. Theodore A. Bell, of California, way chosen temporary chairman of the convention by the Committee on Convention arrangements. Other appointments made by the committee were: General Secretary Urey Woodson of Kentucky. Assistant General Secretary Edwin Scfton of Washington, D. C. Sorg-'ant-at-Arms John I. Martin of Missouri. Chief Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms J. C. Fenn of Indiana. Chief Doorkeeper Eugene W. Sullivan of Illinois. Parliamentarian N. D. Crutchfield of Kentu.-ky. Charcplain for Opening Day Itt. Bev. James J.

Tendencies to crime were referred to the father, also to tlemen Vi and melancholia. Interest in a'l kinds of sports were traceable toUhe mother usually. 3Inrconl System Improved. In an interview at his London ofSce. Sig. Marconi told of two new and important Improvements to his wireless system, on which he has been working, and which are nearly ready for general application in the trans-Atlantic service. One is a duplex arrangement whereby messages

etc.. a trip over the continental divido on the Moffet road, and Taggart hit Sullivan in the eye with a snowball up ot:ove the clouds. By splendid hospitality of this sort the Denverites tried to take the minds of visitors off the hotel rates, which were about as high as the mountains. Thos. T. Taggart, chairman of the national committee, will be the first official to call the convention to order and get the business of nominating candidates for President and Vice President under way. He lives in Indianapolis and has been a member of the national committee eight years. As chairman of the committee four years ago he was nominally manager of the presidential campaign. After Chairman Taggart has calmed the delegates, a chaplain uill offer prayer. Urey Woodson, the Democratic leader of Kentucky, will read the official call for the convention. Woodson has served twelve years on the committee, of which he is secretary. Next after the reading of the call Chairman Taggart will introduce the temporary chairman of the convention. Theo. A. Bell, of California. Bell was Democratic candidate for Governor of California two years ago and was defeated by only a small plurality. Mr. Woodson, according to the program, will be chosen both temporary and permanent secretary of the convention, sTnd he will apioint his assistants. Col. John I. Martin, of St. Louis, will, as usual, be sergeant-at-arms. lie served in that capacity both in 1800 and 19T.O. The allotment of seats to the delegates was not ma do until the day before the convention was to open. The selections were made by a lottery drawing. The names of the different States, Territories and iossessions were placed in a box, and. as they were drawn, rhey were numbered consecutively. When the drawing was completed the scats for the different delegations were told off, beginning at the center aisle of

DENVER' the sections reserved for the delegates. By this method the delegates did not know In advance where they would be seated, and no favoritism was shown. However, all seats are choice In the Denver auditorium, thanks to the splendid arrangements made. Alternates were not allotted seats In any designated part of their section. They were lermlttcd to take seats at, will. The section for alternates was immediately behind the delegates. Each ticket for the general public entitled the holder to a seat In a certain section and admission to the convention hall through a designated entrance. This system precluded a mad rush of spectators for choice seats and enabled the ushers to do their work without confusion. Gavel and Soondlng Doard. The gavel shown in the accompanying picture Is the one furnished by Chairman Tom Taggart of the Democratic National Committee, to call the national convention to order. This CAVEL FOR DENVER MEETING. gavel and sounding board were sent to Mayor Dahlmann of Omaha by T. G. Harris, of Fort Bobinson, Neb. Mr. Harris Is a strong supporter of Bryan, and au acquaintance of Mr. Pahlnian. The sounding board is made of Black Hills cedar. Vice Presidential booms to be presented to the Democratic national convention arrived In Denver on nearly every train from the East. The feature of the com cation promised to be the contests over Vice President and the platform. Every new train noarly brought a new Vice Presidential boom. may be sent loth ways at once without confusion, and the other is a device for enalding a ship in a fog to determine the exact location in distance nnd direction of another ship or of the wireless station on shore. Tli latter improvement is hailed with great srtisfaction by the cot liners and the traffic in the Sf. Lawrei.ce River, where fog hinders navigation and causes many collisions. Leon Delagrange, the French aeropian operator, in a flight at Milan, remained in the air sixteen and a half minutes and went a little more than elevea miles, surpassing all previous records.

In many homes there is mourning for children who have met untimely ends and adult whose liver, paid the penalty of wanton folly, while in darkened chambers and hospitals throughout the country lie thousands of maimed and suffering victims. Results of the frenzied emthods by which tbe Fourth of July Is "celebrated" in the United States are given in the Chicago Tribune's tenth annual summary of the number of persons killed and maimed. Up to 2 o'clock on the morning of the 5th reports from all parts of the country showed that forty-eight persons, bad been killed and 1.S99 burned, ciaiined. and lacerated by the various Instruments used In making noise to celebrate the signing of the declaration of independence. Chicago's death list Jumped from two in 1907 to twelve thi year, and led In tlTe number of lives sacrif)"ed Invthe large centers of the country. In 1907 New York bore the distinction of giving up the largest number of its citizens to the frenzied patriotism, having ten, which was two less than Chicago has this year.

In addition to the forty-eight dead and 1,124 Injured the nation has a loss of $207,900 by fire to shoulder as one of tue results of Its patriotism. Carelessness Is charged with a large portion of the fatalities nnd Injuries, and downright foolishness was the cause of many. The roster of the dead is nineteen more than that of last year, when Ihirty-seven men, women and children lay dead, mostly as a result of their own or some other person's carelessness.

NEWYORK. , R.G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: "Trade is quiet, but healthy in tone, and the past week made moderate progress in the right direction, despite the interruptions of holidays and politics. Confidence in the future is evidenced in many ways, encouragement being derived from favorable crop reports and many comparisons showing that June produced much better results than any month since the setback last October. This waa particularly noteworthy in the insolvency record, June being the first month of 1908 to supply smaller liabilities of commercial failures than the corresponding moDth last year. . "Manufacturing returns show the customary mid-year curtailment of activity for inventories and repairs, but resumption is expected to be prompt, and many idle plants started up on July 1 with a fair amount of business in sight, while threatened controversies over adjustments in wage scales are not materializing, labor leaders appreciating the necessity of concessions in conformity with reductions of prices." CHICAGO. "Business generally enters upon the last half of the year under improving conditions and with a more confident estimate for future activity. Evidence? more clearly indicate increasing consumption of products, and manufacturing derives strength from the better disposition shown by railroads to issue important contracts. Mid-year interest payments swell transactions through the banks, but pressure in commercial settlements has added to current .failures. Seasonable weather stimulated various branches of production and distribution, and there is assurance of further resumption at factories and railroad shops, which will afford re-employment of much idle labor. Sales in tbe leading retail channels have risen to a gratifying aggregate. Wholesale markets are well attended by buyers. "Failures reported in the Chicago district numbered 35, against 32 last week and 20 a year ago. Thote with liabilities of more than $0,000 numbered 10, against 8 last week and 9 in 1907."

Iowa farmers exiect the next Legislature to grant the State Hairy Association an appropriation to hold schools of instruction in the several counties. Of 350 candidates for the Legislature questioned !n the subject only six are. unfavorable. The battle between the dairy and oleomargarine manufacturers is on again before the Department of Agriculture in cshington. The dairymen insist that oleo shall be plainly labeled as such, and the oleo men are resisting such a ruling with all their power. James Slonek, a farmer working foi his brother in section 31,'' township ol Tabor, Polk county, Minn., left his plow in tthe field to take (his life. No cause for the suicide can be obtained. Slonek was unmarried and about 33 years old. Ke killed himself with a shotgun. At Huron, S. P., two men were each fined $20 and costs of suit, for selling adulterated milk. The arrest was the result of an analysis of milk sent to State Hairy Commissioner Whcaton. The milk was found to contain as a preservative, formaldehyde. Two wet seasons in succession iiave convinced many farmers on the low landi in northern Iowa that their drains are entirely too small and they will have to be replaced by others double the sire. Many laud owners have already begun reconstruction of their drainage. Grasshoppers, which occasioned much loss to farmers in Schoolcraft County, Michigan, last year, when myriads of the insects invaded pastures and field, are threatening a repetition of the havoc in the same portion of the peninsula this season. Railroad men who are asking for higher rates on cream and butter fat, claim that tl;" Beatrice Creamery Company, of Lincoln, Neb., and the Blue Valley Creamery Company are making good progress toward monopolizing the butter trade because of the low rates at which butter fat is transported to their centralizing plants in many 'cities. Dr. F. W. Chandler of Valley City, N. D., has gone into the breeding of prairie wolves for profit and pleasure. He recently secured eight fine specimens of the animals aud has them confined in what is probably the first wolf kennel ever constructed in the Northwest. The doctor believes that the wolves are susceptible to the taming influence of human kindness and will endeavor to train the octette in much the same manner that dogs are handled. The annual dipping of cattle in western South Dakota has begun. The cattle are in much better condition than t:sual and very little trouble from parjrites is txpected.
