,BT. JOSEPH, Mo. July . 22. Seven
hundred delegates and twice aa many vis.
Itors filled the Lyceum' Theater today
when the Democratic state convention
was rapped to order by James M. Blebert,
chairman of the state committee. Among
the visitors were large delegations rep-
resenting the Jefferson Club of St. Louis,
the Jackson Club of Kansas "City and
the Democratic organizations In otb
parts of the state. Occupying seats on
the stage were Governor Dockeryl Secre
tary of State Cook, Horv William J.

speeches by several of these leaders oc
cupied the opening hours of the conven

A BOY'S AUTOMOBILE TRIP.
A thousand-mile automobile Journey is still a feat, no matter what It may be
come In the future. When a 14-year-old lad attempts to make such a journey it
is still more of a feat. James McConnell, aged 14, whose father Is S. P. Mc
Connell, vice president of the Fuller Construction Company, is the first lad to run
his automobile from Chicago to New York.
to permit the committees' on nominations,
resolutions, etc., to prepare their reports.
Though the nominations to be made
ara only for minor state offices to be
filled at the fall election, the convention
Is regarded, nevertheless, as of extraordi
nary importance. W. B. Carrlngton will
be renominated for State Superintendent
of Public Instruction;- but there will be
a spirited contest for State Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners, active can
vasses being made by several aspirants.
But It is not in the nominations that the
interest centers. Nor Is it in the plat
form, for the resolutions undoubtedly will
follow closely those recently adopted nt
the Springfield convention. The old party
leaders have an eye single on the organi
sation of the new state committee and
the selection of a chairman to succeed
Mr. Seibert. Between the so-called state
machine and its enemies It Is a war to
the death for the control of the commit
tee and It is In the result of this contest
that centers the Interest of politicians of
both parties throughout the state.

Southern Pacific Uses Nuggets

Strange Metal.
(Journal Special Service.)
GRANTS PASS, July tt-The Southern
Pacific Railroad Company Is ballasting a
portion of Its track in Southern Oregon
with auriferous placer gravel that is rich
:n gold dust and nuggets. There are not
many railroad lines that can ut.'ord to
ballast their track With gravel that is
worth 1100 per ton; but this is what the
Southern Pacific la doing. They are tak
Ing out many train loads of gravel daily
from their gravel pita near Gold Hill, a
few miles east of here, to ballast their
road tn this section. 'This gravel pit oc
cupies the bed of aa old channel or an.
clent river bed, and Is a placor field that
more than cne miner would l:ke to pos
sess to work with pipe and giant. A
number of the workmen engaged at the
gravel pit have picked up nuggets of from
110 to $20 value. On man took a bucket
full of the gravel home and panned It out.
securing UtO in gold dust for his trouble.
So soon as it became known that there
was" gold In the gravel of the pit, miners
went there in considerable numbers an!
began cradling out tha gold In the old-
fashioned way, finding it to be a lucrative
business; but the. company has put a
stop to this and only the nugota that
are accidentally picked up by the work
men are saved. The Southern Pacific are
ballasting their track, not mining.
Doctor David Day, a mineralogist cf
New York, and a member of the United
States Geological Survey, is in Jos tphlne
County for the purpose of making an In
vestigation of the placer deposits of tn's
section, especially In the Illinois district
of the western part of tha count where
the principal strikes have been madu.
Doctor Day was led hero mainly to In
vestigate the unknown metal, locally
called "Josephinelte," which haa . been
found In quantity 'in the placers of the
Illinois. He believes that the metal la
one of the platinum groups and feels con
fident that he will be able to identify the
strange metal. Mr. Day's visit here has
stimulated the already growing Interest
being taken In the metal platlpum. He
says the prospects) for the metal being
mined here permanently are very bright,
and believes that Josephine County will
becomo an important producer of the
metal.

NEW YORK, Jul 22. A military look
ing man, commonly dressed, leaped info
the big swimming tank at the New Torn

the surface.
Suddenly the spectators saw the cigar
case expand and in a few seconds it de
veloped into a balloon of the thinnest
silk, which floated him "to the surface In
a twinkling. The diver was Lieutenant
George Irsey de Isra, an officer of the
Austrian Army, and he was exhibiting
his life-saving device which had been
adopted, by the armies and navies of Aus
tria, Russia and Germany.
- The apparatus weighs six ounces. In

THE COWBOY.
The Orieinal Type is Fast
Passing Into Oblivion.
The cowboy is a character that is pass
ing away, and it Is well to have a true
type of his personality fixed In literature
before he leaves us forever.
"In our more cultured state It is hard
for us to comprehend the rapid change,
the overwhelming predominance of, now
the good, now the bad, in such a charac
ter as the old-time cowboy. The harsh
ness and the softness, the roughness of
the exterior and the sudden ravel at Ion of
tenderness of heart that seems incred
ible, the fixedness of purpose, the deter
mination. Independent decision and rapid
ity of action all I have found in the
rangeman, and in no other type in the
whole course of my experience. You, too,
have perceived this."
He goes on to testify to the fidelity
with which Miss McElrath has drawn
her hero, Jim, and speaks of his sudden
lapses Into outlawry when Jilted, as fol
lows: "Right or wrong, Jim was brave and
self-reliant; ho aska no favors, and, ac
cording to his lights, he acted the man.
He fought in the open, was chivalrous,
and true to the death of his friends. And

"The nobler nature within him stirred

REAL NICE JAIL.
Steak and Pie for Dinner and Jelly for
trie Asking A Rush Feared-
Probably the only public protest ever
placed on record against a Jailer for
feeding his prisoners too well is on file in
the Commissioner's Court of this county.
The document charges that Sheriff Bray,
out of "mistaken kindness, and to tha
detriment of the public. ,is inviting tramps
and other vagrants Into Hamilton County
by reason of the meals he serves to the
prisoners In the Jail." and Invites the
Commissioners to take steps to have the
quantity and quality of the food reduced.
Outside of the record It Is said that
petty offenses against the peace and dig
nity of the state have been committed In
Noblesvllle and throughout Hamilton
County for the sole purpose of getting
Into Jail to enjoy the Sheriff's hospitality
and that so widespread Is his reputation
for kindness and that of his wife for
cooking that hundreds of "Weary W11-
lies" are traveling night and day to reach
the Jail before the strawberry season is
over.
When attention was first called to the
meals served In the Jail some of the citi
zens went to the Sheriff's office out of cu
riosity to look Into the matter. Among
them was "the Rev. B. S. Hollopeter.
president of the County Board of Chari
ties. He declares that the meals served
to the prisoners are better than those
to be found on the average home table
of Noblesvllle and that, while prison
fare Is supposed to be In the nature Of
a punishment, Sheriff Bray has turned
It Into a continuous banquet, so that life
In Jail m Hamilton County Is one un
alloyed pleasure, the prisoners 'entering
with delight in anticipation of the things
In store for them and leaving with a re
luctance which Incites to some other pet
ty crime that they may be returned to
Jail again. Indianapolis Sun.
Mussoiino Badly Faded.
A comparison is made between Tracy,

Dumas' novels, who evaded - capture 'tof
many years, leaving a trail of blood ' as
he went. But Dumas' hero did not hive,
tj contend with the telegraph, the tele
phone or even the locomotive or the
steamboat all of which agencies are
called Into service In running down the'
modern desperado, as well as the blood
hounds of Dumas' day. The criminal who
plays a lone hand against tha lightning,
the iron horse, the bloodhound, the long
range repeating rifle and the' police or
ganisation of several states banded' for
his destruction must show more mettle
than Dumas ever dreamed of to prolong;
his days of liberty as did , Mussoiino.

cept a Joint dictatorship with the Pre.

probable that Mr. Balfour will relinquish
