Mix me up another bottle of it.’ ” The woman admitted that she was the companion of Messmaker the night before he died. “One of the drinks taken by Messmaker in Foss’ place gagged him,” she testified, “and I smelled of it.

STRAUS PICKED BI mrtOSE’’ Delegate Stampedes Deadlocked Progressive Convention. NOMINATE JEW FOR GOVERNOR Action Brought About Amidst Great Enthusiasm .in Which Nearly Every Man and Woman Present Joined. Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 7. After one of the most remarkable demonstrations in the history of political conOscar S. Straus, former ambassador and cabinet officer, was unanimously nominated by the New York Progressives as their candidate for governor. Mr. Straus’ nomination came about under circumstances that were not only unexpected, but dramatic. The former cabinet member, acting as the convention’s permanent chairman, was about to entertain a motion from former Lieut. Gov. Timothy L. Woodruff to expedite the roll call on the names of State Chairman William H. Hotchkiss and Comptroller William A. Prendergast of New York, when J. C. McGee, a delegate from New York county, leaped to his chair and demanded to be heard. „ “It’s ‘Suspender Jack’ McGee, cried a voice from the gallery. Chairman Straus looked puzzled. McGee, who got his name in the Indian country by riding a broncho into camp with suspenders used as reins, fought his way to *the platform and with a ringing speech turned thunderous howls of derision aimed at him into a wild outbreak of enthusiasm in which every man and woman in the hall joined, and placed the name of Mr. Straus in nomination. The cheering lasted sixteen minutes. Hats, women’s and men’s, were trampled and torn and bandannas were whipped to shreds. The band played “Onward, Christian Soldier.” Mr. Hotchkiss fought his way to the platform, where Straus was sitting as chairman, and began to plead with him to accept. A dozen other leaders followed, Mr. Woodruff among them, ind Straus inclined his head ever so slightly. J. J. Kingsbury moved that the nomination be made unanimous, and the motion was seconded by Rev. J. W. Karnshaw, who said it was significant “Onward, Christian Soldier” should be Bung“in celebration of the nomination of a Jew. The band then played the Doxology, and everybody joined in the hymn. When the convention had recovered and Mr. Straus had been chosen unanimously, he was called on for a speech and tendered an ovation as he formally accepted the nomination. The ticket follows: For governor—Oscar S. Straus of New r York. For lieutenant governor —Frederick M. Davenport of Oneida. For secretary of state —Homer D. Call of Syracuse. For comptroller —Gen. Horatio C. King of Kings. . For attorney general—John Palmieri of Kings. For state engineer and surveyor—O. M. Leland of Tompkins. For justices of the court of appeals —Dean Charles C. Alden of Erie; Dean George W. Kirschway of New York. For state treasurer —Ernest Crawrroft of Chautauqua. The curtain-raiser for the proceedings was a speech by Governor Johnson of California, Colonel Roosevelt’s running mate. An uproarious greeting was given the candidate for vice-presi-dent as he apepared on the platform. Johnsdn delivered a fighting speech, and. when he had finished the delegates were imbued with an enthusiasm that finally spent itself in the nomination of Straus. SAYS LOVER SLEW SPOUSE.

GEN. MAC ARTHUR OIES ATREUNIGN 8 ■■ >. ■„ Hero of Two Wars Drops Dead While Talking. PRAY AS VETERAN EXPIRES Comrades Recite Lord’s Prayer a* Loved Commander Breathes His Last—Was Formerly Ranking Officer of Army. Milwaukee, Sept. 7. —Lieut. Gen. Arthur MacArthur, U. S. A., retired, dropped dead here while addressing the last reunion of members of the regiment he commanded in the Civil war. Death was due to apoplexy. General MacArthur had nearly concluded his speech when he was seen to reel, and said: “Comrades, lam too weak to go on.” He then fell backward into the chair, gasping for breath. While he lay dying, supported by those who had known him throughout life, his comrades, 100 in niimber, stood around the chair, reciting the Lord’s prayer. As they finished he opened his eyes, looked around and passed off. The extreme heat of the day seemed to affect the general and many others of the old veterans who 1 were present. 1 General MacArthur was born in Springfield, Mass., on June 2, 1845. When he was seventeen years old he enlisted with the federal army in the Civil war, joined . the Twentyfourth Wisconsin Infantry, and was appointed adjutant. His first battle was at Perryville, October 3, 1862. At the battle of Mission Ridge the color bearer was wounded and fell. MacArthur immediately seized them, rushed to the front with words of encouragement and was the first man in command to mount the enemy’s breastworks. The major of the regiment resigned shortly afterwards, and MacArthur, not yet twenty-one, was appointed to the place. He entered the regular army after the war. In July, 1866, he was appointed captain, and after that advanced rapidly. He took part in the Civil, SpanishAmerican war and the insurrection in the Philippines, and on September 18, 1904, was made lieutenant general. He resigned in 1909 through the age limit law and lived in Milwaukee until his death. CHARGED WITH KILLING TWO Confessions of Man and Woman Reveal Terrible Murder Plot. Shreveport, La., Sept.

REPUBLICANS LOSE VOTES IN VERMONT Only Six Small Towns Are Yet tc Report—Legislature Is to Choose. White River Junction, Vt., Sept. 5.— The full report of the balloting in Tuesday’s state election in Vermcut was compiled without altering to any material degree the general figures as indicated by the early returns. The unofficial total vote for goven nor reached 65,033, the largest in a state election in a presidential year since 1904. There was no election by -the people, but a sufficient number oi Republican members of the legislature were chosen to insure the seating oi Allen M. Fletcher in October. Ths total Vote of the state was: Allen M. Fletcher (Republican), 26,2551. Harlan B. Howe (Democrat). 20,350 Rev. Frazer Metzger (Progressive), 15,800. Clement F. Smith (Prohibition), 1,443.’ Fred W. Suitor (Socialist), 1.181. Returns for senators and representatives from three-quarters of the cities and towns showed that the Republicans will have no difficulty In seating their candidates for governor and other state officers. The senate will contain twenty-six Republicans and four Democrats and Progressive fusionists, and the house will have 176 Republicans, forty-six Democrats and twenty-four progressives, or sixtysix Republicans more than the necessary majority to elect state officers on a joint ballot. Congressmen Greene and Plumley, Republicans, are reelected by large majorities. Democrats and Progressive leaders both say the presidential election in Vermont in November will be stubbornly contested. Mr. Fletcher, the Republican candidate for governor, refused to comment on the result. Mr. Howe, the Democratic candidate, said: “I am very much pleased with the returns and the support given the ticket throughout the state.” s Rev. Frazer Metzger, nominee for the Progressive partys? said: “I believe that the forcing of the election of governor into the legislature constitutes a barometer of the vote of the national ticket of the Progressive party. I am delighted with the vote that the Progressive party has given me.” Strength of the Progressive party in its first line-up against the older parties and the disappearance of the Republican majority for the first time in ten years and the first time in the history of the state in a presidential year were the features of the election. For many years political students have pointed out that any decrease in the Republican majority in Vermont in September below normal of 25,000 has been followed almost invariably by the party defeat in the presidential fight in November. These majorities, which have averaged close to 30,000 in all the state elections in Vermont in presidential years since 1892, were represented by a small plurality. The Republican loss apparently went in a great degree to the Progressives and to a somewhat lesser extent to the Democrats. IOWA NAMES FULL TICKET. Progressives Nominate Judge John L. Stevens for Governor. Des Moines, la., Sept. 6.—With John L. Stevens of Boone as their nominee for governor, lowa Progressives in convention here put a third party state ticket into the field, after overcoming opposition to the plan by a vote of nearly five to one.

Meyers, Elkader; N. F. Baker, Lucas; railroad commissioner, Ira Nichols, lowa Falls; secretary of state, H. A. Morey of Waverly. The platform indorses that of the national convention.'

IN IWN AIIONAL i SDNWSOIOOL > LESSON, , (By E. O. SELLERS. Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR SEPT. 15. JUDGMENT AND MERCY. LESSON TEXT-Matt. 11:20-30. GOLDEN TEXT—“Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”—Mjjtt. 11:28. The paragraph mark separating verses 27 and 28 should rightfully be removed for that portion is but a continuation and a contrast with what has gone before. As we see from Luke’s account, Jesus has sent out the seventy who return boasting of what had been accomplished in Jesus' name, only to receive his reproof that they are not so much to rejoice in that as that their names were written “in heaven.” Jesus had made his appeal to Judea only to be rejected; he has done a marvelous work In Galilee only to be rejected there also, and thus it leads to his appeal to the individual. Jesus knew that every problem of ths church, financial or otherwise, every problem of the body politic, is in its final analysis one of the condition of the individual heart. We have before us a twofold division of this lesson. First the awful woes Jesus pronounces on the impenitent, v. 20-24, and second, the unspeakable joy of those who accept him, those who “come to him,” v. 25-30. I. Those Who Reject. One can scarce reconcile the speaker of this first section with him who spoke ths last words, but is any denunciation more awful than that of outraged love? There Is no contradiction here for his invitation is extended to.,ths very people whom he has denounced. Chorazin and Bethsaida, laden with sin, are urged to break off their yoke of bondage, be reconciled with him, become yoked with him whose burden is light. These words of denunciation were chosen with deliberateness. They mean just what they say and but little can be said to amplify their meaning. We can, however, see that judgment never precedes opportunity. Judgment Inevitable. These cities had their day of opportunity. In like manner we notice that the measure of the judgment is the measure of opportunity. The fate ofTyre and Sodom was awful, but more terrible is to be the fate, in the day of judgment, of Chorazin and Bethsaida, because they sinned against the greater light. The possible exaltation of Capernaum as shown by the question asked in verse 23 is followed an awful degradation, a fate far worse than that of Sodom, for if his mighty works had been done in Sodom It would have repented and remained till this day. Again we need to note that judgment is inevitable. It is the lot and portion of us all. Jesus created a wonderful opportunity for those cities and in a like manner has created one for us as individuals of the city, what will be our accounting in the judgment? We as citizens are being illuminated by a wonderful revelation of truth and righteousness. Shall New York, Chicago and other large centers became as ancient Capernaum or Babylon, Nineveh and Tyre? 11. Those Who Come to Jesus. Coming now to the second section of our lesson, one can feel the tender pathos of the voice of Jesus as he turns from the whole to the individuals who comprise the whole and cries—“ Hither to me.” Not alone those who are burdened by ceremonialism or guilt but a more wonderful scope than that, “All who labor.” His invitation is, however, limited, for It is to the laboring, thus 'excluding the wilfully idle, whether they be idle materially or spiritually. Jesus’ call is for a twofold purpose, (a) Service, “Take my yoke upon and (b) Knowledge, *a‘nd learn of me.” Note the order, service first, for we learn by doing. There are two kinds of rest suggested, (a) that which is “given” and (b) that which is “found.” The first is the rest of faith, forgiveness, acceptance, assurance and a consciousness of God’s love. The second is the rest of satisfaction, of communion, -oi fellowship and of service. The one is the “peace with God,” Rom. 5:1, and the other Is the “peace of God,” Phil. 4:7, which the world cannot take away. Offers Life. Jesus knew the rest of harmonious relation to the Father, the rest of service, and so the climax of his invitation is the test of experience. ▼. 30, “For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Notice that our labor is to be fruitful, “heavy laden,” but the joy of service far outweighs any thought of its becoming a duty and therefore onerous. A yoke implies a being attached to a load and with another. How may we know if his words be true? There is but one condition, “Come.” Jesus meant just what and all that word implies. The babe sitting upon the knee of its nurse knows what its mother means when she calls “Come,” and so Jesus extends his arms, to sorrowful, laden humanity as well as to ceremonially laden Israel and says “Come.” Not to a church or to some religious leader, but to Jesus himself. The invitation is very personal both as to the one who shalPcome, and the one to whom we are to come. There is in this lesson a luminous suggestion of Jesus’ method of dealing with the ills of our great cities. He does .not propose a lot of negaikns, but offers a life, an energizing power that shall enable a company of his believers to change these conditions of ill. Some one has called attention to Jesus’ attitude towards the Roman empire. Not one word of specific rebuke nor denunciation, yet In approximately three hundred years there was a Christian emperor upon that throne. His method Is individualistic. i These words et Jesus. thrill, with

•LET US HAVE A HEART TO HEART TALK." Be you producer, consumer, dairyman, farmer or manufacturer; are you giving thought to economic conditions as they are today hi America? If so, what are your views on the needs of « importing $10,000,000 to $12,000,000 worth of dairy products the last fiscal year, and what do you think about our having to import $4,000,000 worth of meat animals dunng the same period? ’ What got us into such a shape? Let us talk it over. Was it cheap production on the low-priced lands of the west, or were we scailed by the constant hammering that the politicians . gave our industry, and which the city $ press has only too thoughtlessly been willing to publish as news, to the effect that we were being robbed by the trusts? Or was it mere indifference to some kihd of live stock production on the farm because we were breeding, scrub stock and it did not pay? No matter what it was that has put us where we are, we are losing ground. Profit, labor and all the bugaboos that enter into the subject have been cussed and discussed, but the serious problem is before us of overcoming the need of sending $125,000,000 to I $150,000,000 of our good American gold, to foreigners for our food supply. We are as intelligent as any nation on earth and as capable as the people of any country to solve the problem of economic production. It is one that must b§ seriously considered by all the people and each and every one must give of bls talents and means to solve it. The price of land in the middle west has been enhanced very considerably in the past ten years, and our state agricultural colleges have done splendid work in showing us what can be produced profitably on' these valued lands, and dairy farming seems to be the answer, but this must be engaged in intelligently. You must first have profitable cows on your farms, then intelligent farming, so as to secure maximum of production at minimum of cost. As the merchant, manufacturer and railroad president must seek new and modern methods to attain the best results in his business, and is constantly espending large sums to equip himself for present day competition, why should not the farmer and dairyman seek the best obtainable information on subjects of. interest to him ? Each year at Chicago, we have the National Dairy Show, which gives actual demonstrations in problems of breeding and feeding for greatest profit in all of the dairy breeds. These shows give you a practical demonstration in all that is modern in machinery, both for the dairy and for the farm. Experts who have solved the marketing of and caring for the dairy products for best results, here give you their findings. Why not take advantage of it? Do not get it into your head that you are too small‘in the business to get value out of this show; the small men and the beginners really are the chaps the show is for. The creamery man, the milk dealer, the butter maker, the ice cream man, all receive their benefit at this great, show that Is founded for no other purpose than to advance the interest of the dairy cow. Think this over and come and see us October 24 to November 2 at th© International amphitheater, Chicago,, the only building, except state fair buildings, where the immensity of your industry can be fully displayed.
