Names of Other Candidates Also Will Be Withdrawn—Element of Specula tion Removed from Remaining Ses sions of the Convention. Chicago, June 22.—Senator Fair banks will be nominated for vice pres ident unanimously. The Illinois del egation met today and decided to withdraw the name of Representative Robert R. Hitt. When Illinois is reached on the call of states, Senator Cullom will an- lounce that he has received a tele gram from Mr. Hitt asking that his name be withdrawn and that Illinois shall support Senator Fairbanks. The names of the other candidates also will be withdrawn. Senator Dolliver will present the name of Senator Fair banks to the convention. With the platform completed and In the hands of the full committee every element of speculation seems removed from the remaining sessions of the con vention. The members of the Colorado dele gation said that foWoWlng the action of the Illinois delegation, they woiiic. n6t present the name of John M. Springer as the vice presidential can didate from that state. Chicago, June 22.—The Republican national committee met again at noon today. The day was flawless, clear sunshine with a fresh breeze from the lake and the temperature near 75. The dele gates spent most of the morning out of doors before the hotels on the lake front, where were many of the state headquarters. Senators and gover nors lined up along the curb with much more ordinary folk or walked upu and down watching equipages on the drive or looking at the sails out side the breakwater. “What a holiday this convention is,” remarked Senator Depew, to his near neighbors, who happened to be Governor Durbin, of Indiana, and Rep resentative Hull, of Iowa. “b feel quite as though I were at the seashore with nothing to do except to bo idle and look at the water.” Not Very Strenuous. “ft isn’t strenuous,” said Mr. Hull, "but always interesting. A national convention seems to me more expres sive of the pecular genius of our peo ple than any other institution. A convention is always unique. For one to be dull is- an impossibility.” That scrap of dialogue represents the way most delegates and specta tors look upon the convention. It might give the observer a keener sen sation if it were a combat and yet have no more suggestive character. A band engaged by the Pennsylvania delegation gave a concert during the morning. Ladies visited the head quarters at the hotel seeking auto graphs of the notables there. Most ol the clubs have a visitor’s list hall as large as the membership. No one was in quite as much of a hurry to go to the Coliseum as on Tuesday. The ease with which every card holder got his seat yesterday anu the care the assistant sergeants-at- arms took to secure every one his privileges, caused a more leisurely progress toward the hall today. Be sides that, the doors were opened half an hour later at 11 o’clock in stead of 10:o0. Many delegates walk ed the mile separating the Coliseum from the hotel district. Will Accept Invitation. The decision of the convention to accept the invitation of the Ixmlsiana Purchase exposition on Friday and Saturday has done much to stop a small movement looking towards a two-day convention. Senator Depew has arranged for three special trains for the delegates and the tickets of delegates on ai: railroads will be accepted to and from St. Louis as if it were Chicago. New Yorkers led in the movement Tor a two-day convention, but today In view of the fact that a large number ol delegates will go to St. Louis, they are least quiescent. Saturday sees the dedication of the New York state building, and Governor Odell, the two United States senators from New York and others will attend. AT WORLD’S FAIR. Tennessee State Building Opened—Re production “The Hermitage.” St. Louis, June 22.—The Tennessee state building which is a reproduction of President Andrew Jackson’s old home, the “Hermitage," was formally opened today, admission to the cere mony being strictly by card.

New York, June 22.—A determined effort to ascertain as nearly as possi ble the number of persons who took passage on the excursion steamer Gen eral Slocum when she started on her Ill-fated trip up the sound one week ago today, has been begun on the di rection of the police department.

Before daylight 12 more bodies had been taken from the river and nearly every succeeding hour added to the total. LUNATICS SHOW FIGHT. Outbreak Among Inmates of Morris Plains Insane Asylum.

State Populist Conventio'n at Fremont, Nebraska. Fremont, Neb., June 22—The resolu tion introduced by Senator Allen at the Populist state convention last night is generally admitted to favor fu sion with the Democratic national tick et. should William J. Bryan secure control of the St. Louis convention. It demands a straight Populist tick et, however, in case the anti-Bryan wing is victorious. Former Senator W. V. Allen, whd will undoubtedly head the Nebraska Populist delegation, stated it as his be lief that a straight Populist ticket would be nominated at Springfield, but declined to express an opinion as to whom the nominees would be.

New York, June 22.—The facts lead ing up to the shooting of Colonel Ed ward Emerson, Jr., war correspondent of the New York World, in the Far East, are related by It. T. Dunn, cor respondent in Korea for an American magazino, who has reached here. Mr. Dunn made this statement after be ing informed that Colonel Emerson was dead: “Colonel Emerson as a military man was well aware of the positions occu pied by Japanese soldiers. Some time ago he made the announcement that he intended to go through the Russian lines and work from that van- tango point. “When it came to the ears of the Japanese military authorities that Em erson intended to take this step an officer approached another represen tative of Emerson’s paper and in formed him that if he took such a step the government could scarcely bf further responsible for his safety. “1 contemplated a move similar to that outlined by Emerson," continued Mr. Dunn, “but the Japanese made : clear to me that it would not be wise for me to proceed. “Emerson held papers which would have carried hipi through the Rus sian lines in safety. In view of these facts I am inclined to think the real story of his death has not been learn ed as yet.” FIRE AT PATERSON, N. J. Considerable Loss to Several Large Manufactories. Paterson, N.

Wonderful things are done for the human body by surgery. Organs are taken out and scraped and polished and put back, or they may be re moved entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the place of diseased sec tions of veins; antiseptic dressings are applied to wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries before inflammation sets in, which causes them to heal without maturation and in one-third the time required by the old treat ment. Chamberlain’s Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It is an anti septic and when aplied to suqh inju ries, causes them to heal very quick ly. It also allays the pain and sore ness. Keep a bottle 6f Pain Balm in your home and it will save you time and money, not to mention the inconvenience and suffering which such injuries entail. For sale by Cherokee Drug Co., Gaffney; L. D.

Jones, buyer for Parker & Bridget, whose large department stores are located at 9th and Penn, Ave., Washington, D. C., writes under date of April 14, ’04, as follows: Last February, one year, while In New York on business for my house, I caught a severe cold which laid me up for several weeks and left me weak and nervous. I had little or no appetite, and my digestion was very poor. My physicians could not get at the cause of my trouble as my digestion seemed so muen impaired. I decided to try Rydale’s Stomach Tablets, being assured by a friend they were a good dyspepsia medicine. After using them for a few days, I began to realize that I was getting better. I gave up the doctor’s pre scription and have gained 20 pounds while using two boxes of these tab lets. I never felt better In my life, and accredit Rydale’s Stomach Tab lets with having cured me. I can recommend them, most heartily, to sufferers from nervous indigestion and general run-down conditions of the system. Gaffney Drug Co.
