COLISEUM CROWDED TO WITNESS BIRTH OF PEOPLE'S PARTY

Senator Dixon Has Difficulty in Checking Cheers of Delegates So He Can Open the Convention. (Continued from Page One) pian, wnicn is more niteiy 10 oe 101lowed, will be to name a Southern Democrat for permanent chairman. Colonel John M. Parker of New Orleans has been suggested for the place. It is likely that Colonel Roosevelt will be consulted as to his views before this committee reports. It was announced by Senator Dixon that Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana, had been selected as temporary chairman of the convention. Ovation For Beveridge. The name of the Hoosier orator brought forth a burst of wild cheering from the delegates and spectators. The statement by Dixon that Beveridge had been nominated by the Indiana Progressives for governor caused another outburst. Gov. Johnson of California, Gov. . Vesey of South Dakota, Gov. Carey of Wyoming and Delegate Funk of Illinois escorted Beveridge to the platform. Mr. Beveridge was greeted with an outburst of applause as soon as he appeared. "Mr. Beveridge needs no introduction," said Senator Dixon. "For sixteen years he has been in the light for the people and for the next four years he will be the governor of Indiana." The greatest demonstration of the convention then greeted Mr. Beveridge as temporary chairman. The entire convention leaped to its feet and a- momentary pandemonium broke forth. Mr. Beveridge begun hia speech without preliminary remarks and at almost every sentence he was interrupted with burst of applause. The audience listened with great attention to that part of Beveridge's remarks which detailed how the old parties had fooled the people. The delegates and spectators cheered loudly the assertion that both old parties are controlled by notorious bosses. That part of Beveridge's address which referred to the party solidarity of the south, saying that the new Progressive party had come to free them from political bondage received 1 genuinely enthusiastic reception. A SOLEMN MYSTERY. Mark Twain Declared It Caet a Gloom Over Hie Whole Life. Once upon a time Mark Twain was Interviewed. After various questions the interviewer came to the question of relatives, and from then on, according to Twain's own version of things, the conversation ran thus: "Who Is this picture on the wall? Isn't that a brother of yours?" "Oh, yes, yes! Now that you remind me of it that was a brother of mine. That's William Bill, we called him. Poor old Bill!" "Why, is he dead, then?" "Ah, well, I suppose so. We never could tell. There was a great mystery about it." "That was very, very sad. Fie disappeared, then?" "Well, yes. in a general sort of way. ,We buried him." "Burled him! Buried him without knowing whether he was dead or not?" "Oh. no; not that! He was dead enough." "Well, I confess that I can't understand this. If you buried him and you knew he was dead" "No, no! We only thought he was." "Oh, I see. He came to life again," "I bet he didn't" "Well. I never heard anything- like this. Somebody was dead: somebody was buried. Now, where was the mystery?" "That's just it! That's it exactly! Tou see, wo were twins, defunct and I, and we got mixed in the bathtub when we were only two weeks old. and one of us was drowned, but we didn't know which. Some think It was Bill; some think it was me." "Well, that was remarkable. What do you think?" . "Goodness knows! I would give whole worlds to know. This solemn, this awful mystery has cast a gloom over my whole life. But I will tell you a secret now which I have never revealed to any creature before. One of xxs had a peculiar mark, a large mole, on the back of his left hand. That was toe. That child was the one that was drowned. So you see they made an wful blunder. I was drowned, but they went and buried the wrong child. Sh-h-h-h-h! Don't say a thing about It where the family can hear it. It's a very sore spot." How to Keep From Losing Breath. Where respiration is rhythmical there Is no loss of breath in walking fast, running uphill or going upstairs. The method of preventing breathlessness consists in maintaining the rhythm and the speed of respiration. When the breathing is rhythmic the breathing keeps pace with the step. The outbreathing must be twice the length of the inbreathing, and not more than eighteen or twenty complete breath circuits must be 'made per minute. How to Use Sandpaper. Keep a piece of sandpaper handy to the sink where the dishes are washed. It will prove Invaluable. When & stubborn spot upon a burned kettle refuses to move through the aid of a wire dishcloth use a piece of sandpaper. - ' It Is a splendid aid in cleaning a gas stove. Fold n piece over a knife, and you caa quickly remove all grease or e& food that sticks to tha corners.

WomansWorld

Mrs. Davis, Who Caused Roosevelt Outburst at Chicago. by American Press Association UBS. w. A. DAVIS. Mrs. W. A. Davis is enjoying the popularity attending her recent excited rush for fame on the floor of the Chicago national convention. This impulsive lady caused the delegates to cheer for twenty minutes by waving a large banner bearing Colonel Roosevelt's portrait. Mrs. Davis explains the happening in the following way: "While I was sitting there I saw a handsome large picture of Roosevelt lying on a man's lap. I said, 'Oh, give me that, won't you?' I did not wait for him to answer, but snatched It away from him. I was so excited. They were cheering wildly, you know, for some one else, and I've always been a strong admirer of Roosevelt. I grabbed the picture and waved it wildly. I hardly knew what I was doing. I guess I'm rather excitable by nature. "I hardly realized what they were doing when they took me down. I was too excited to be afraid. I felt perfectly at home, for some reason, although I never have appeared in public before." The Useful Rose. More in number than the count of Its petals are the present day uses for the silky rose crocheted in baby Irish style out of the heavy mercerized cotton or twisted silk of white or cream color. The bags on which it Is the chosen trimming are the very newest design to be seen in the shops that make a specialty of "the latest thing," but a use still more novel is as the trimming for one's new girdle. As has been often said, the knack of crocheting them once learned is invaluable. And in tihis heavy thread there is not the eye strain to be guarded against which makes the finer work rather trying to those with sensitive vision. Once started, the little box or bag of single roses soon begins to fill up. Progressive Orientals. Mrs. Chapman Catt. president of the International Woman Suffrage alliance, writing from Egypt, says: "I fiud a khedivial princess who is a pronounced suffragist and has written some excellent papers to prove that the Koran Is not opposed to liberty for women. A Moslem woman has lectured at the newly founded Egyptian university on women's rights, and a Syrian girl has studied law and is employed in a law office. Leaders are thus coming forward, and a woman's movement has surely begun. In the constitutional agitation of the past few years the women have taken a keen interest, and representative government has become a popular theme of discussion in the harems." Dented Furniture. When furniture becomes dented and not broken the marks may easily be made to disappear. Treat it in this manner: Wet the bruised spot with water. Double a piece of brown paper five or six times and soak it in warm water. Place it upon the bruise and apply a warm (not hot) flatlron till the moisture has evaporated. If the dent has not disappeared repeat the treatment. To Remove Ink Spots. If an ink spot gets on the carpet slip a pan under it immediately, pour cold water through it and then cover it with a little heap of salt. When the 6alt has become dark with Ink remove It and put a fresh layer in its plact. An ink stain is less likely to be spread by pouring water through it than by dipping It into hot water. Give Her the Right Tool. A woman can't drive a nail. There has been too much slandering of women. A woman may not be able to drive a nail with a hammer, but you give her a hairbrush and she can drive a nail as well as anybody. The Latest Development. Kansas City is to have band concerts with speeches on suffrage In the Intermissions on the programme. Comical In His Ugliness. Voltaire was the ugliest man of Ms age. Emaciated to a skeleton, all the features of his countenance were exaggerated. His nose and chin nearly met from the lack of teeth: his cheeks were sunken and wrinkled; his eyes set so far back in his head and so obscured by shaggy, overhanging brows as to be almost Invisible. He usually wore a large wig, from the midst of which his attenuated features peeped out with comical effect. For years before he died his weight did not exceed ninety pound.

CHICAGO FINDS A LIVING "RAFFLES" Police Today Unearth Crimes of School Teacher, Jacob Foy Guthrie. (National News Association) CHICAGO, Aug. o While arrangements were being made today for an examination by alienists of Jacob Foy Guthrie, the Chicago "Raffles" who says he was lured from his profession of teaching by reading detective stories, the police compiled an inventory of the prisoner's loot. From the list of articles already unearthed it is believed by the police that over $300,000 worth of art works, jewelry and other articles will be found before the task is finished. Fearing that Guthrie would attempt suicide, Capt. Halpin stationed a guard over him and the disposition of his case will depend on the result of the examination today. There is no doubt that Guthrie's defense will be insanity. It is possible that he may never be brought to trial for robbing Chicago society leaders, but will be adjudged insane and sent to an asylum. Dr. Leslie W. Schwab, the Guthrie family physician, declared today that the young "Raffles" is an "educated fool," and "dynamite kleptomaniac." He has been a book worm ever since his childhood," said the physician, "but it was not over study that has caused his mental derangement. Aside from his studious nature as a boy, be used to sit by the hour at night and read thrilling detective yarns. It was this form of occupation that fostered that mental condition which has always been apparent in him. "Guthrie's action in storing his loot, instead of disposing of it, is but one example of his mental condition. I am sure I shall be able to account for his strange method of operation and prove conclusively that he has suffered periods of mental aberration for years." Bacteriologist by day and forger by night; instructor of chemistry and mathematics four days of the week and burglar the remaining three; bashful and stammering in the presence of women and girls, and daring bullets from policemen and night watchmen; displaying the exquisite taste of a connoisseur one moment and a lust for plunder the next, he presents the most astonishing combination of mental conditions. '

It Got Monotonous. A yellow negro in Kansas City decided that by bartering in the day time and fighting at night he could easily attain to great wealth. His first essay in pugilism was against a shifty black with a good ring record. At the tap of the bell the black professional planted a straight left on the amateur's nose and repeated the process some hundred times. By a superhuman effort the yellow barber came to a clinch, and his voice rang high in agonised protest: "Scattah yo' blows, niggah!" he demanded. "Fo' heaven's sake, scattab yo blows!" Success Magazine. A New One on Her. There was recently presented to a newly married young woman in Baltimore such a unique domestic proposition that she felt called upon to seek expert advice from another woman whom she knew to possess considerable talent in the cooking line. "Mrs. Jones," said the first mentioned young woman as she breathlessly entered the apartment of the latter, "I'm sorry to trouble you, but I must have your advice." "What is the trouble, my dear?" "Why, I've just had a phone message from Harry saying that he is going -out this afternoon to shoot clay pigeons. Now, he's bound to bring a lot home, and I haven't the remotest Idea how to cook them. Won't you please tell me?" Lippincott's. A Ready Reckoner. There are no cul-de-sacs for Irish wit. A "jarvey" drove Mr. Phil May, the wonderful English artist in black and white, now dead, round Dublin on his first visit to that city and in showing him the sights stopped in front of the Bank of Ireland. "That, sorr," said he. "is th' reciptlcle iv th" money th English take fr'm us!" On the roof of the building are six "THKBK ABB OHIiY BIX." decorative figures, and Mr. May Inquired what they represented. "Begorra, sorr, they'ro th twilve apostles." "But." said Mr. May, "there are only six." "Sure, I know that." returned the Jarvey. "Th' other wans are lunchin wid th lord liftinant."

SHOTGUN AND SWORD WERE WEAPONS USED

A gun, a rock and a sword entered into a street fight at Fourteenth and North F streets yesterday. George McKinney alleges Lannie Rhodes called him a vile name and that a fight started with Rhode3 as the principal. The principal carried a big - sword which he secured from his home nearby, and McKinney says "he gathered up a large rock which he "pasted" at Rhodes, with what effect he did not know for another colored man j rushed from a nearby house with a j shot gun. McKinney says he left the j spot then. In police court this morning a number of witnesses appeared, but the state desiring more witnesses summoned, the case of Lannie Rhodes vs. George McKinney for assault and battery was postponed until Wednesday morning. Rhodes has a hand ban-, daged up which he says was damaged by a rock. ROUSED THE AUDIENCE. A Mining Camp Melodrama With an Unexpected Climax. Joseph Jefferson used to say that his career came very near being nipped in i the bud in a small western town. He at that time was a znemberxof a small pioneer company which progressed by means of three "bull teams" from one mining camp to another. They were always heartily received by the miners and cowboys, who readily paid the $5 in gold required to witness their performance. Mr. Jefferson' was the traditional melodramatic villain and In the third act was supposed to kidnap "the child." The supposed mother, bearing Its cries, rushes upon the scene Just as he is abouf to escape and fires a fruitless shot from a revolver. Upon this particular occasion all had gone well until this scene was reached, and the audience, many of whom bad never before seen any kind of theatrical performance, sat as If spellbound. At the crack of the mother's revolver. however, the spell was rudely broken. "By heaven she missed him!" a red shirted miner in the front row shouted, drawing bis own six shooter and leaping to his feet "Round to the back door and head him off 'fore he can git a boss, boys!" he yelled, and, fo'tlowiiyr him, half the audience stampeded for tne exit. The excitement was finally allayed hy the "mother" and the villain appearing band in hand before the curtain and the manager's explanation of the situation. When the performance had been concluded .the audience insisted on paying another admission price and having an Immediate repetition from beginning to end. QUICKSILVER MINING. An Occupation That Quickly Ooomi ', the Workers. The chief quicksilver mines In Europe are in the Spanish town of Almaden, which is an Arabic word, meaning "the mine of quicksilver." These mines were formerly worked by the Iberians and after them by the ancient Romans. Between 1645 and 1843 thej Spanish government employed galley! slaves in them, an occupation that soon ended In death. The fumes ofj toe mercury produce constant salivation, and the system becomes perme ated with the metal. At first the victim Is seized with tremblings, and then the teeth dropj out; pains in me Dones iouow unu meu death. The annual yield of mercury is 1.500.000 pounds, to produce which 4.000 men are engaged In this unhealthy employment. . After Almaden so far as yield of quicksilver is concerned comes Idria, an Austrian town, twenty-eight miles from Triest. These mines also were once worked by criminals, who, owing to the terrible qualities of the mineral, expired after about two years' service There are now nearly 500 miners engaged in the work at Idria. They are Induced to enter the mines by high pay. A pension is allowed when they are disabled, and provision is made for their widows and children. Pearson's Weekly. A Wager Won. The following story is told of J. P. Morgan and possibly of other successful business men as well. For three consecutive days the great financier carried an empty birdcage in his hand to and from his offlce. On the third day one of his managers ventured to ask why he carried that apparently useless article. "To see." replied Plerpont Morgan, "if any one would have the impudence to ask me why I did so." "I beg your pardon," began the Inquirer. "I" "Tou needn't do that," Bald the chief, smiling grimly. "I had a bet with a man that I bad at least one employee with some curiosity. I've won the money; but in future don't ask questions about things that don't concern jouP It is said that each year three thousand foreign waiters find employment in England.

SOCIALISTS OPEII CAMPA1GII SUNDAY S. M. Reynolds, Candidate for Governor, Speaks at. Local Theater Sunday.

HAD LARGE AUDIENCE Tells of the Principles and Aims of His Party. Sees T. R.'s Election. At the Murray Theater Sunday afternoon Stephen M. Reynolds of Terre Haute, Socialist candidate for governor, spoke to quite a large sized audience on the aims and principles of the Socialist party. He is an eloquent and forcible speaker and his address was extremely interesting. Following the meeting Mr. Reynolds predicted that Theodore Roosevelt would be elected president next November, but stated that his election would mean a victory for Big Business as the Progressive party was controlled by the trusts. Mr. Reynolds said, in substance and among other things, during his address, that when man has ever made a radical change in his tools, his means of production and defence, he has been obliged to readapt his entire social condition to the new economic base. Under all conditions he has done the best he could and has never brought about profound changes in his institutions through malice or mere scheming; each time he has done what conditions compelled him to do. In the beginning he was one among the animals, a member of the anthopoids, but the accidental discovery of the use of the club gave him the advantage over stronger beasts. Thus he was able to hold his own against the lions and the tigers who dwelt with him in primitive jungles. He Lived In Caves. At this period he lived retired in caves and dens; he knew not the meaning or even the existence of "society." Later on he chanced to hit upon the use of the bow and arrow. That enabled him to go abroad; in his journeys he met other men but took them for animals and slew them as he did the wild beasts before his den. He slew them, and as naturally, ate them; thus his discovery led him to cannibalism. The equally accidental discovery of grain led him at last to see the value of labor so he fell into the habit of driving his captives into the fields instead of throwing them into the pot. Thus slavery arose. As society developed and new inventions were made tribes and peoples began to go to war; then it was that the masters began to use their slaves as fighting machines as well as agricultural beasts; thus was feudalism inaugurated. At last the steam engine and the spinning-jenny were invented- The slave class wa8 then set to tending the machine and so modern capitalism at last came to be. Through all this evolution it is to be observed, he said, that men never acted out of sheer personal and individual caprice but did what twas perfectly natural and instructive for them to do under the circumstances. That's what they are doing today, he said. Our present wage-slavery, our industrial depression, our poverty, our white slave traffic and all the hideous ills that sicken modern society are not due to the machinations of this individual or that group of individuals, but to the Inevitable evolution of industry and society. Founding of Capitalism. When Watt discovered the power of expanded water he laid the foundations for capitalism and no person on earth could have prevented it. Therefore the Socialist, whose philosophy is based on a scientific study of history, does not lay at the "door of the "malefactors of great wealth" the blame for things being as they are; he points out that as things are these conditions could not have been avoided, stated regice runs its cycle of birth, power and death; the signs all go to show that it is in its last stages, Mr. Reynolds averred. Out of itself it is producing the power that will overthrow It. It is grinding out more and more poverty and poverty spells the decay of society; it grows so huge and unwieldy that It Is escaping human control; the machine produces so fast that the workers are obliged every little while to stop until consumption catches up with -production and that means periods of panic and depression which inBUY YOUR Cement and Plaster Of THE MILLER KEMPER CO, Phone 3247

It cannot be much longer before the workers will realise that they must take over these machines and control them In order to avoid being destroyed by this very instrument they have perfected for making life more endurable. This is Socialism, the taking over of these machines which are the fruit of collective society's toil and genius and which are now operated by collective society, and owning and operating them collectively for the gain of a few but for the good of all. . -That Will Do."
