Wellman's Persistency.
The indefatigable Walter Wellman.
has established wireles telegraph con-
nection between the Arctic regions
and Washington preparatory to em-
barking on his hazardous aerial polar
expedition. Interest in the venture
will increase as the time approaches-
f6r the final launching of the airship
from the station off the north coasti
of Norway in August, the ill fate of)
the Andre expedition preparing the
public mind ominously for another
plunge into the silences of the Arctic.,
The Wellman expedition is, however,'
equipped doubly. The dirigible bal-
Joon and Wireless telegraphy w%re not
available to Andre, and it is with the
aid of these two inventions that the
intrepid Wellman hopes to return.
Andre made the trip one way. Well-
man, the man, becomes for the mo-
ment a prominent figure among the
daring adventurers of romance and
history, Whatever wisdom may lie in
his venture, and however profitless or
profitable the undertaking may be,
says the Detroit Free Press. The
present expedition will be his third.
Fired by ambition and moved by a
spirit of geographical adventure, Well-
man abandoned temporarily his work
In the newspaper field as Washington
correspondent for western newspa-
pers, and in 1894 ventured north, re-
turning with valuable information. In
1898 he made a second expedition and
fixed the boundaries of Franz Josef
land, locating many new Arctic,
islands. He returned from these ex-
peditions broken in health and almost
incapacitated for active work. A man
of his indomitable courage and per-
sistence is not to be stayed by ordi-
nary obstacles. Instead of seeking'
comfort and ease, he applied himself
once more to his newspaper work with
the one ruling passion urging him on,
to gather enough- funds for a third and
perhaps successful venture. Though
suffering bodily from the effects of his
former experiences in the frozen'
north, Wellman devoted the past
seven years to enlisting capital,
amassing funds from his own savings
and preparing for what may be the
denouement of his life work. With
this sort of courage and faith behind
his new expedition, and the valuable
experience gained by his previous
dashes for the pole, Wellman's ven-
ture promises well. t

The Nominees for Goverror and Lieutenant Governor.
Even a moment's reflection ought to
show Bishop Fallows that the so-
called extravagances of the rich are
not without their compensations. We
need not defend the giving of $60,000
banquets or the purchase of $10,000
gowns in order to realize that" these
are; proceedings which put money in
circulation. If every rich man lived
as frugally as did the late Russell
Sage, for instance, a great many lines
of business would find themselves
fallen upon evil days. It is better,
from the standpoint of the ordinary
citizen, that the millionaire should
ispend his money foolishly than not
spend it at all. The ethics of the mat
Iter is another thing.
r ,
The writers of the Russell Sage
obituary notices are almost a unit in
declaring that his great passion was
money-making, a fact which distin-
guished him from almost the entire
body of his fellow countrymen.—Chi-
cago Inter Ocean. No, in his passion
for money-making he was like two-
thirds of humanity. It was his passion,
frir keeping money that distinguished
? im from the rest of his fellowmen.
The development of Alaska has
been one of the wonders of the age,
and it is certain to proceed still more
rapidly when the network of railroads
planned for the territory shall be com-
pleted. The days of the Indian courier
and the dog team as the chief means
of communication are fast disappear-
ing. The Yukon river is navigable for
many miles and has afforded means of
access to the interior, but it is frozen
over a large part of the year and does
not reach some of the more important
areas. Several big steam railroad
lines in Alaska have been mapped out,
and before many years it will be pos-
sible to visit and travel about the
"Seward purchase" in drawing room
cars and with as much comfort and
even luxury as the tourist in any oth
er part of Uncle Sam's possession!

Every American gin is a queen, and
so doubt the European crowds that
gather to see the daughter of a presi-
dent reflect that every man in pros-
perous America is a sovereign.
A New York specialist says bridge
whist is responsible for much of the

ported. He must be so situated that

An electric railroad on which the

made in ten hours is projected. The

terprise.
Convention Halt, Dallas, Texas, Aug.
17—Campbell's nomination was sure
before the roll call on the second ballot
had proceedecj|*fceyond the counties be-
ginning with the letter "D."
The sudden end to the agony was
reached by the ruling of the chair that
the unit rule must govern counties in
casting the "dropped" vote.
When Dallas county was reached,
which had nearly ten votes for Brooks,
these "dropped" votes were cast for
Cambpell.
This was mere than the Colquitt
-forces could stand. Hon. Barry Miller,
a Colquitt supporter, and the man who
placed him in nomination, challenged
the vote, and appealed from the ruling
of the chair.' When the roll was called
the chair was sustained by a large
majority. Harris county voted against
sustaining the chair.
When it was announced that the
chair had been sustained, Mr. Colquitt
made a speeeh withdrawing, and ask-
ing his supporter's to go to Campbell.
..Convention Hall, Dallas, Texas, Aug.
17.—At 11:46 the first ballot was com-
pleted and the results announced as
follows:
Campbell .213.341
Colquitt 160.934
Bell ..... .^ i•. .163.357
Brooks .■ 'J 156;218
Brooks Made a Speech.
There were cries Cor "Brooks!
Brooks!" and mid pandemonium Judge
Brooks was' escorted to the platform
by Hon Tom Ball and Hon. Edkar
Watkins of Houston.
In speaking Judge Brooks thanked
his friends for their loyalty and for
the noble manhood which followed him
to deffeat. He said that he had always
followed the nominees of his party and
that no populists in this state had been
called <to raise his voice in his behalf
during this contest. (Great cheering.)
He had stood for purity of homes
in Texas, he said, and he stood today
for the rigid enforcement of all the
laws. (Cheering.)
He said the biggest dunce in Texas
had never misunderstood him; that he
favored the enforcement of the local
option law In Comal county the same
as In Dallas county. (Cheering.)
Everything he stood for in his cam
palgn he declared had been in the par-
ty platform for years.
He would, he declared, rather have
the friends he had made than to be
governor of Texas. (Cheers.)
"The senior senator of Texas has
indorsed everything I have said."
(Cheers.)
He said that he would go home to
his wife, -the sweetest woman the an-
gels ever gave a man, and begin life
anew for the advancement of the
homes in rfexas. Great cheering fol-
lowed this.
The speech closed amid five thou-
sand cheers.
Choice of Dropped Vote.
The chair announced that the roll
would be called to show that the
Brooks vote had been dropped.
The delegations began to announce
what candidate they preferred for the
emancipated vote to go to.
As the names of the three candidates
were mentioned cheering greeted each
name.
Bexar Solid for Campbell.
Bexar county gave its Brooks vote
fco Campbell, the chair (Frank An-
drews) ruling that the counties must
vote as a unit.
Judge Duncan of Smith took issue
with this ruling, saying that each del-
egate was a sovereign and could vote
as he pleased; that a majority could
not gag a minority In the absence of
instructions from the county conven-
tions.
Judge Duncan appealed to the con-
vention to reverse the ruling of the
chair.
Andrews said if there was an^man
in the convention who could interpret
the election law he would yield to him.
(Cheers.) The ©hair read the law
showing that the delegation oould vote
Duncan again responded, pointing
his finger at the convention and saying
that the election law was for the pur-
ity and an honest convention system.
A viva voce vote was taken amid
mu-oh confusion and the chair ordered
a roil call. Those favoring sustaining
the ruling of the chair to vote aye,
those opposed to vote no.
Judge Duncan withdrew his appeal
and the vote on governor was resumed.
Dallas County Challenged.
The Dallas county vote was chal-
lenged by Berry Miller, a Colquitt
man, who stated that Dallas county
was not under the unit rule, and he
appealed from the chair's ruling that
a majority oould vote the delegation.
Confusion followed.
Monta Moore arose to speak and
cries of "sit down" came from all
over the hall. He proceeded to speak,
saying the chair was putting things
into law. The roll call proceeded and
the Campbell counties voted to sus-
tain the chair, as Dallas county gave
most of its votes to Campbell. Early
in the roll call the Campbell men
objected to this ruling as it went
against them; this time it was differ
ent.
The roll call on appeal from the
chair preceded under much concusion.
The Chair Sustained.
Harris county voted against sustain-
ing the chair.
The chair was sustained on his rul-
ing. 420 to 225.
This ruling gave Campbell the 9.058
votes of Dallas county "dropped" from
the Brooks column.
Mr. Oolqultt, realizing that this was
against him, took thte platform and
made a speech withdrawing.
Colquitt's Withdrawal Speech .
Colquitt said that if the primaries
had lasted two weeks that he would
have been nominated. He said he
cherished no ambition that would be
aginst the wishes of the people.
He denounced the Terrell election
law as being a monstrosity, as It work-
ed against people in convention; that
the voice of the people was the voice
of God; that the people should rule
and not the politicians; that he fa-
vored a blanket primary, with the dis-
tinguished gentleman from Palestine,
(Great cheering) who challenged me
to submit our chances to the people. I
agreed, but 20,000 plurality does not
indicate that he is the choice of the
people, and if the campaign had con
tinued I would have received a plu-
rality."
He said that the man who received
the most votes should be the nominee
and not the man who received less
votes.
Here Mr. Colquitt's voice gave way
and he oould hardly be heard. He
said he did not want the office over
the protest of the peole.
Mr. Colquitt reviewed his platforb,
telling what he had advocated and that
he was not in favor of prohibition in
Hamilton and not in favor of It in
Tarrant, and that Culberson almost
quoted his (Colquitt's) language in a
report he made to his as revenue
agent He thanked his friends for
their loyalty. He was frequently in
teiTupted with cheering.
He called on his friends to supoprt
Campbell, and there was great cheer-
ingo from Campbell men.
Mr. Colquitt reviewed his platform,
draw the criticisms he had made
against Campbell, but believed that
the voice of the people should rule.
Great cheering marked Colquitt's
close. The land played :'Dlxie," the
cheering Increased.

With Delight and Is Giving" Evidence
of It—Entire Population Does Honor.
Palestine, Tex.: On receipt of the
message announcing the withdrawal
of Calquitt and Bell the entire city
went wild with enthusiasm. Business
downtown was practically suspended.
Judge Weeks and others crystallized
the sentiment by sending Colonel
•Campbell a rousing message of con-
gratulation signed by merchants, bank-
ers, railroad employes and others.
Elaborate preparations were made
Thursday evening for a grand recep-
tion to the next governor of Texas on
•his return home. Our people are
proud of the distinction cf having the
chief executive of Texas one of their
number, and knowing Colonel Camp-
bell as a patriotic, broad-minded and
liberal native Texan, the best interests
of the Lone Star State will at all time3
during his coming administration re-
ceive the benefit of his ability as a
successful lawyer and business man.
Work on a grand stand has been
started, the Palestine cornet band en-
gaged and the young and "old, the low
and the high, will meet their friend
tonight (Friday) to do honor to the
choice of the people of the great State
of Texas.
The Business Men's League has out
committees and every detail is being
looked after making the coming recep-
tion one of the great events in the
history of Palestine and grand old An-
derson county.
Mount Vernon Meeting Closed.
Ratcliff, Tex.: The protracted meet-
ing conducted b" Rev. Jeff Rhodes at
Mount Vernon closed Wednesday after
four days of excellent service for the
Lord. This is the nineteenth second
Sunday In August that Rev. Rhodes
began a meeting at this place and
great crowds turned out every night
to hear him preach.
Servant Girls Picking Cotton.
Austin, Tex.: . The servant girl
problem in this city is once more at
hand. The cotton patch and the pros-
pects for a large crop and high wages
is the cause for the scarcity of serv-
ants. All negroes are bound for the
cotton patch. This exodus will unques-
tionably play a very important part
in the management of the Austin
homes for the next few months.
Record-Breakinp Attendance.
Austin, Tex.: Dr. N. H. Brown, pro-
fessor of electrical engineering at the
Agricultural and Mechanical College,
is here for a few days. He says that
indications point to a reoord-breakinT
attendance at the college this year, the
capacity of the institution being 40X
but there will be 500 applicants for ad-
mission.
His Interest Was Personal.
An eccentric member of the British
parliament who died recently endeav-
ored vainly during a quarter of a cen-
tury to get passed into law a bill for
preventing persons from standing out-
side windows while cleaning them.
During his last session the old fellow
complained to a colleague that his ob-
ject In Introducing the bill had been
quite misunderstood by the house for
these 25 years. "I introduced the
bill," said he, "not for the sake of the
window eleaners, but for the sake of
the people below, on whom they might
fall. The idea of the bill was suggest-
ed to me by tb"i fear that a window
cleaner might fall on myself."
How Emperor William Is Battling
Against a Dangerous Heredity.
Emperor William's father died of cancel
of the throat.
Emperor William himself had infantile
paralysis, and has had to struggle with
many infirmities.
It has been whispered that he himself
is troubled with the same malady which
carried off his father. Royal blood is un-
mo

fortunately most generally deteriorated,
blood. Emperor William knows this aa
eradicate the bad blood from himself an®
his family by the adoption of simple life
principles.
Through the visit of a countryman of
his to Battle Creek, Michigan, -while in
this country, visiting the World's Fair in
Chicago in 1893, Emperor William became
acquainted with the Battle Creek idea of
simple living and has to a large extent
adopted the methods in his family. His
wife nnd children live the simple fife and
take Battle Creek light baths. Their
uncle. King Edward, also has these baths
installed in his Windsor and Buckingham
Palaces for the use of himself and Queen

Great Poet's Letters.
Twenty years ago a German pub-
lisher began to issue a oomplete col-
lection of Goethe's letters. Thirty-four
volumes are now In type, and It Is ex-
pected that the rest of the letters,
which will fill 15 more volumes, wiHi
appear within four years.
Try It Once.
There is more actual misery and
less real danger in a case of itching
skin disease than any other aliment.
Hunt's Cure Is manufactured espe-
cially for these cases. It relieves in-
stantly and cures promptly. Abso-
lutely guaranteed.
Large as Prehistoric Monsters.
Some of the largest and most itot-
portant animals are bigger now than
they were In the prehistoric times.
That is true of the whale and em-
ohatlcally so of the horse. The best
luthoritles hold that in bulk and
/eight the largest whales now ia ex-
;tence are larger than any of the
mg-named monsters that abounded
n the early ages of the earth.
Rice Eaters.
In China and its dependencies, with
t population of 400,000,000, or 25 per
:ent. of the total population of the
world, rice is the principal food sup-
ply. The same may be said also of
India, with its population of 275,000,-
000, and Japan, with its 40,00*0,000. In
addition to these it Is a chief article
of diet with other peoples of Asia and
Africa, whose population is estimated
at 100,000,000. The total reaches 815,-
000.000, or 50 per cent, of the total
population of the earth.—Boston

Suffered for "White Lie."
Is a white lie ever justified? That
at least some people believe it has
no excuse is proved by the following
tale: An ancient rabbi came to a city
where all the people were truthful,
married one of the inhabitants, had
two children and prospered. One day
a neighbor called when the rabbi's
wife was washing her head, and the
rabbi, going to the door, was seized
by false modesty and said that she
had gone ouL Thereupon both of his
children died, and, as no one died in
that city before reaching old age, the
neighbors made inquiries, the rabbi
confessed what he had done, and was
ordered to leave the city immediately.

A Minister Talks About Grape-Nuts*
<
"My first stomach trouble began
back in 1895," writes a minister in
Nebr., "resulting from hasty eating
and eating too much. I found no re-
lief from medicine and grew so bad
that all food gave me great distress.
"It was that sore, gnawing, hungry
feeling in my stomach that was so
distressing and I became a sick man.
Grape-Nuts was recommended as- a
food that could be easily digested.
"Leaving the old diet that had glv«n
me so much trouble, I began to eat
Grape-Nuts with a little cream and
sugar. The change effected in 24 hoilrs
was truly remarkable, and in a few
weeks I was back to health again.
"My work as a minister calls toe
away from home a great deal, and re-
cently I drifted back to fat meat and
indigestible foods, which put me again
on the sick list.
"So I went back to Grape-Nuts and
cream and in four days I was put
right again.' The old dull headaches
are gone, stomach comfortable, head
clear, and It is a delight to pursue
my studies and work.
"Grape-Nuts food is worth mere
than money to me, and I hope this
may induce some sufferer to follow
the same course I have."
