A DAY'S CONVENTIONS
State Political Gatherings
at Various Places.
MONTANA REPUBLICANS CONVENE
Bitter content Expected Between the
Gold and Sliver factions Silver
Convention at Denver.
Helena, Mont., faept. 9. The Repub
lican state convention met today. There
are contesting delegations from at least
four counties, including Silver Bow.
Without the latter county the conven
tion seems divided pretty evenly between
silver and McKinley Republicans.
Helena, Mont., Sept. 9. The Repub
lican state convention took: two hours
to elect a temporary chairman. Silver
men won by a majority of over fifty. A.
J. Seligman of Helena was elected tem
porary chairman. Friends of Mantle
and Hartman are in control.
Colorado Sllveiltes.
Denver, Sept. 9. The state conven
tion of the silver party and the silver
wing of the Republican party met here
today and the Populist state convention
assembled at Pueblo. A proposition
from the Democrats, who have already
nominated a full state ticket and ap
pointed a committee on fusion, for a
combination of all supporters of Bryan
and Sewall in support of one' state
ticket, which was laid before each con
vention. It. is proposed to have each
make nominations and have a joint
ticket selected by a general committee
composed of the committees chosen by
each convention.
UNDEUMINEO BY WAVES.
A Heavy Section of Wall Tumbles Into
-- Bast River.
Jsew York, Sept. 9. The undermin
ing of the rear wall at the East River
end of Fifty-second street caused about
320 feet of the street and about 100 cubic
feet of the wall to topple into the river
with a crash that startled the neighbor
hood for several blocks around yester
day evening. At the very edge of the
enormous pit made by the cave-in stands
the towering wall of a cigarette factory.
.The roar of the landslide brought
hundreds of people to the scene, and it
wt.8 with great difficulty that the police
kept the crowd from rushing blindly
upon the dangerous ground to view the
wreckage. The wall that, broke away
was about fifty feet away from the river
brink to the level of the street. Its en
tire face, with the exception of a narrow
piece near the south sidewalk, was
washed away and what did not slip into
the river was piled up in a confused
mass at the river's edge.
Tons of earth and cobblestones fell
upon a boat house . and crashed two
skiffs like a couple of eggshells.
' savkd bit automatic brakes,
Runaway Train on the Pike's Beak Cos;
Railway.
f The first accident on the Pike's Peak
cog railroad since it was opened five
years ago occurred a few days ago. The
side bars on the driving wheel of the
engine broke, rendering the compressed
air brakes useless. The engineer and
fireman saved themselves by jumping.
The conductor ' stopped the passenger
car, no couplings being used on the road,
by applying the automatic brakes. The
engine rushed dowu the 25 per cent
grade at a terrific speed, a no1 jumped the
track on a curve, when, the boiler ex
ploded.. i
The train was a special, carrying Gen
eral Manager Frederick Harrison of the
London & Northwestern railroad, and. a
party of English railroad men and
ladies. -

a widow residing near- Sharptown, in
this county, has been reading about' the
New York "prophet who predicted that

General Black's Declination.
Chicago, Sept. 9.- -General John C.
Black has written a letter declining the
nomination for governor by the gold
standard Democrats. - He says : ' "I am
convinced by my investigations in this
state that the election for governor lies
between Messrs. Tanner and Alt geld.
The only effect on the election of - my
candidacy would be to diminish the
chances of one or the other of these gen
tlemen for election. - Men differ in their
opinions as to whose chances .would be
most seriously impaired."

Castoria is truly a marvelous thing for
children. Doctors prescribe it, medical
journals recommend it and more than
a million mothers are using it in place
of Paregoric, Bateman's Drops, so-called
soothing syrups and other narcotic and
stupefying remedies. Castoria is the
quickest thing to regulate the stomach
and bowels and give healthy sleep the
world has ever seen. It is pleasant to
the taste and absolutely harmless. It
relieves constipation, quiets pain, cures
diarrhoea and wind colic, allays fever
ishness, destroys worms, and prevents
convulsions, soothes the child and gives
it natural sleep. Castoria is the chil
dren's panacea the mother's friend.
Castoria is put up in one size bottles
only. It is not sold in bulk. Don't al
low any one to sell you anything else
on the plea of promise that it is "just as
good" and "will answer every purpose."
