STRAUS CHOSEN
BY PROGRESSIVES
UNANIMOUSLY ACCLAIMED NOMI¬
NEE BY PROGRESSIVE
PARTY. •
DRAMATIC SCENES ENACTED
Former Cabinet Member, While Act
v lng as Chairman, Placed in
Nomination.
Syracuse, X. Y.—Oscar S. Straus,
former secretary of commerce and
labor, in the cabinet of President
Roosevelt, was unanimously acclaim¬
ed the nominee- for governor by the
Progressive party in a stampeded
convention under circumstances not
only unexpected, but dramatic.
The former cabinet member, acting
as the convention’s permanent chair¬
man, 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 Wil¬
liam A. Prendergast of New York,
when a delegate from New York
county leaped to his chair and de¬
manded to be heard.
"It’s ‘Suspender Jack’ McGee,”
cried a voice from the gallery. Chair¬
man Straus looked puzzled. McGee,
who got his name in the Indian
country by riding a broncho into
camp, with suspenders used as reins,
moved resolutely toward the plat¬
form.
“They say I’m crazy, but I know
what I am doing,” he cried, as he
swung up the platform steps.
McGee, a flaming bandanna around
his neck and his chat blazing with
badges, tossed his rough rider hat on
the floor and demanded the right to
make a nomination.
“Whom do you wish to nominate?”
asked Chairman Straus, but McGee
gave ony a meaningless shake ■ the
head. Delegates cried: “Put him
out!” But McGee stuck to his pur¬
pose.
Delegates and spectators booed and
jeered as he began to speak. There
was a general laugh when he cried:
“I’ll name a man. the mention of
whose name will bring tears of sym¬
pathy, to the eyes of almost every
man and woman in the civilized
land.’
He paised a moment and then
cried: “I nominate the illustrious and
honorable Oscar S. Straus.”
The delegates seemed stunned.
Then a few of them cheered. Mc¬
Gee kept on with his speech and the
first few cheers, at first from a half
-dozen delegates, gradually grew into
a pandemonium that swept the con¬
vention hall. Standards were wrench¬
ed from their^ipports and delegates,
yelling and tSpering fffqdBMfrirfdin aislSrburning
Straus, paraded the
the convention into a bedlam.
Chairman Straus at first shook his
head deprecatingly. He turned to his
friends and remarked: ‘This must not
be. I cannot accept” Chairman
Hotchkiss rushed to the platform.
Placing his hands on Mr. Straus’
shoulders, he said: “You must ac¬
cept; you must accept; all the dele¬
gates are for you.”
Scores of delegates pressed for¬
ward to urge Mr. Straus to make the
decision. Then Mr. Hotchkiss burst
from the group that surrounded Mr.
Straus and held up before the crush
of excited delegates a sheet of yel¬
low paper on which was written; “He
accepts.”
U. S. SOLDIERS FIGHTRERELS
15 Troopers Hold Back 25 Raiders,
Killing Five and Wounding One.
Douglas, Ariz.—Mexican rebels
crossed the boundary and were en¬
gaged by United States soldiers on
the Lang ranch, 50 miles east of
Douglas, according to a report re¬
ceived here.
Fourteen America ntroojjers held
back 25 rebels, killing five and wound’
ing one of the Mexicans, it is report¬
ed. The rebels are believed to be
in command of Inez Salazar, whose
men also engaged American soldiers
below Hachita, X'. M., farther to the
east.
Airships Claim Two Victims.
Stevanage, England.-Two more
British army officers lost their lives
while flying. Captain Patrick Ham¬
ilton had taken Lieutenant Stewart
with him as a passenger in his bi¬
plane. The two officers had flown
for a considerable time when one of
the wings of the aeroplane collapsed.
The machine fell to the ground from
an altitude of 250 feet and was de¬
stroyed. The bodies of the two offi¬
cers were found in the wreck. Cap¬
tain Hamilton had obtained his pi¬
lot’s certificate only on March 15.
Massachusetts Wins Trophy Match.
Rifle Range, Seagirt, N. J.—The
Dryden trophy match, regarded as the
most important event of the Seagirt
shooting tournament, was won by
Massachusetts with a score of 1,104
out of a possible 1,200. The winner
receives the $4,000 trophy, presented
by the late United States Senator
Dryden of New Jersey, and $150 in
cash. Second prize, $100, was cap¬
tured by the District of Columbia,
which scored 1,088, and third prize
by Maryland, score 1,066. New York
scored 1,058 and finished fourth.
Burglars Operate on Vast Scale.
New York.—One of the most thor¬
ough jobs of wholesale burglary ever
accomplished in New r York City has
been discovered. The police were
called to an eleven-story loft building
in University place by the sounding
of a burglar alarm. It was found
that burglars had been through ev¬
ery one of the first eight floors, which
•were occupied by clothing manufac¬
turers; had gone through all the
stock rooms and offices and bad^ re¬
moved several truck-loads of mer-

36 LIVES LOST IN STORM
DEATH AND DESTRUCTION AS
RESULT OF FLOODS IN PENN¬
SYLVANIA AND W. VA.
Hundreds of Houses Toppled When
Struck by the Water.—Tranpor
tation Stopped.
Pittsburg, Pa.—As a result of tor¬
rential rains throughout Pennsylva¬
nia and West Virginia, thirty-six are
dead and others missing. Added to
the list of fatalities are the foreign¬
ers at Colliers, W. Va., bringing the
list there up to eighteen; three at
Burgettstown, Pa., bringing the list
there up to four, and one at Wood
iawn, Pa., near this city. In addition,
others are reported missing, but it is
believed that the above will probably
cover the number who njet death.
In a number of western Pennsyl¬
vania towns, citizens became panic
stricken. At Newcastle, Pa., churches
were dismissed when it was an¬
nounced that a flood was headed for
the town.
After twenty-four hours of exces¬
sively hot weather, the storm broke.
In addition to an extraordinary rain¬
fall, the electrical features were most
spectacular. Within a short time the
jvater had washed away railroad
tracks in many places and loosened
tons of earth which came tumbling
from surrounding hills, choking thor¬
oughfares.
A cloudburst devastated the valley
in which Colliers, W. Va., is situated.
The entire ,valley deluged, hous¬
es swept from foundations, railroad
tracks torn up for long stretches and
made impassable by landslides.
Colliers seemed to suffer the brunt of
the storm in West Virginia. Debris
floated down the creek, piling high at
Holliday’s Cove, and a score of hous¬
es were washed away by the gorge.
CAUSED REIGN OF TERROR
Lon Callis Wounds Three Men and
Shoots at Two Women.
Memphis, Tenn.—Three men were
wounded, two women fired upon nar¬
rowly escaped, and the entire com¬
munity of Massey Station, near here,
was kept in a state of terror for
hours by Lon Callis, who ran amuck
with a shotgun. Posses are search¬
ing the countryside for the man, who
was, some time ago, liberated on bail
of $15,000 on a murder charge.
Callis drew a revolver, it is charg¬
ed, but was overpowered by men in a
store and ejected after having been
disarmed. His demonstration with the
pistol is said to have been without
apparent cause. Later he returned
with a shotgun, and those remaining
in the store barricaded themselves.
Callis then went to a residence near¬
by, where he is said to have fired
through the windows at two women.
Firing the shotgun and reloading
at intervals, the man created a state
bordering on panic among the inhab¬
itants, keeping sharp watch mean¬
time on the men hurdled in the store.
Will Demand Arbitration.
London, England.—It is officially
announced that the British govern¬
ment will make a formal demand
upon the United States government
for arbitration of its claim that the
Panama canal toll act, passed recent¬
ly by the United States congress, vio¬
lates the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. Noth¬
ing definite is known here beyond the
brief official announcement that the
formal demand for arbitration would
be made, but it is believea instruc¬
tions already are en route to the Brit¬
ish embassy at Washington
Militiaman Shot While Asleep.
' Norfolk, Va.—James A. White, a
private in Battery C, First battalion,
Virginia field artillery, is in King’s
Daughters’ hospital, Portsmouth, with
a bullet wound in his head, received
while in camp with a platoon of ar¬
tillery. White was shot by one of
the outposts accidentally, it is assert¬
ed by the soldiers, who say that the
firing was done when intruders, ap¬
proaching the picket lines in the
darkness, refused to stop at challenge.
The sentry, who fired the shots, says
he discharged his pistol in the air.
American Killed by Rebels.
El Paso, Texas.—Death at the
hands of a rebel soldier was the fate
of an American citizen, Joshua Ste’
vens, while he fought to protect his
two daughters in Colona, Pacheco.
News of the tragedy was received at
this place by O. P. Brown, business
agent of the Mormon colonies in
Mexico. At first it was reported that
Stevens was killed by an American,
but this report was sent, it was said,
to avoid trouble with the rebels, who
-still invest the American settlements
ONE LONE BANDIT
HOLDS UP HUIN
LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE
PASSENGER HELD UP JUST
OUT OF NEW ORLEANS.
ROBBER WAS CAPTURED
Robber Was Knocked in the Head by
the Engineer and Fatally
Injured.
New Orleans.—A lone train bandit
held up the northbound express of
the Louisville and Nashville railroad
near Michaud, twelve miles from
here, looted the mail car, robbed the
passengers in five Pullmans and a
club car, and then, just as he was
about to leave the tender, was struck
over the head with a brass torch by
Engineer Baer and captured. He was
taken to Bay St. Louis and may die.
The booty, except for one mail bag
thrown from the car, was recovered
and returned. The bandit would give
no name.
The Louisville and Nashville Ex¬
press that left here was about two
and a half miles from Michaud, a
small station in the swamps, when
the bandit appeared on the tender,
covered Engineer Baer and the fire¬
man with a revolver and forced them
to stop the train. He then drove
them ahead of him into the mail car.
There he made the negro porter
throw one mail bag off, secured some
registered letters and continued his
march into the Pullman.
One after another he went through
the cars, and, while the passengers
held up their hands and the engineer
and fireman preceded him, he took
his toll from the travelers and put
it into a small valise. He took noth¬
ing hut money. After securing his
loot, the lone bandit drove the engi¬
neer and taun back to the tender,
and made^^^Bagain pla^P^is start them 1 lie train. drop

him off after they left the swamps,
but Engineer Baer, watching his op¬
portunity caught him off his guard
and knocked him senseless with a
heavy brass torch.
CANALS STANDARD DEPTH
Along Atlantic Seaboard, Urged at
Waterways Meet.
New London, Conn.—The standard¬
ization in depth of all canals along
the Atlantic seaboard was advocated,
amid much enthusiasm on the part
of the delegates by Congressman
John H. Small of North Carolina in
his address to the Atlantic Deep Wa¬
terways convention at its fifth an¬
nual convention.
Mr. Small had been introduced as
4 followed >?f#aaQStIepa|[ Charles deeper Elmer waterways Smith, and
secre¬
tary of the Philadelphia builders’ ex¬
change, who read the report of Gen.
W. H. Bixby, chief of engineers, in
the United States, in which a fa¬
vorable report had been made for a
canal twelve feet deep from Norfolk
to Beaufort Inlet, N. C-, at a cost of
$5,000,000.
Mr. Small said that while his state
was to receive the first benefits of
the movement for deeper waterways,
it would work just as energetically
for consummation of a plan which
would link into one great waterway
the 148 harbors and rivers which in¬
dent nearly seven thousand miles of
the coast. The great end to be
sought, he believed, was to make ev¬
ery city and town of ail these segre¬
gated inlets communicable for water¬
borne trajfic each with the- other.
Sixty Miners Killed by Fire.
Lens, France.—It is officially an¬
nounced that the total deaths from
the explosion of fire damp in the
Clarence pit, near Bruay, numbered
sixty. These include several miners
who died after being brought to the
surface. Most of the bodies were so
mangled as to be unrecognizable. A
further explosion occurred and the
entire pit is on fire. Mining engineers
say it must be sealed. Twenty-one
bodies had been brought to the sur¬
face, before the continued explosion
caused the rescuing parties to aban¬
don their efforts.
Thirty Girls Leaped to Safety.
Chicago.—Thirty girls were forced
to leap out of second story windows
to escape death when an explosion
caused by benzine vapor wrecked a
building occupied by a dyeing and
cleaning establishment. Rudolph
Spinner, foreman of the establish¬
ment, was crushed to death. His
body was dug out of the ruins by
firemen. One girl who jumped out
of a window was picked up uncon¬
scious and with both legs fractured.
Others in rushing to reach the stair¬
ways were knocked down.
Experiment Station Burned.
Griffin, Ga.—Lightning striking the
big barn at the Georgia Experiment
Station, at Experiment, near here,
started a fire which destroyed the
entire plant, with the exception of
the residences. Blown by a high
wind, the flames rapidly spread from
the barn to the other buildings, and.
when the conflagration was finally
checked, about two hours and a half
after, it had wiped out the guano
house, the carpenter shop, the pack¬
ing house and the silo. Several head
of cattle were burned alive.
Policeman Killed by Cattle Thieves.
Monore, La.—Policeman W. O.
Roberts was killed while searching
1 for cattle thieves, who in the night
stole twenty head of cattle from the
pens of the Iron Mountain railroad
here. The cattle was stolen shortly
after they had been unloaded for de¬
livery to a local packing house. Rob¬
erts was shot through the heart, and
fell dead with his own smoking re
volver, which he fired once as he fell,
in his right hand and a searchlight
in his left hand.

VERMONT ELECTION RESULTS
FOR FIRST TIME IN VERMONT’S
HISTORY REPUBLICAN MA¬
JORITY VANISHES.
No Election by People — Governor
Must Be Chosen by the
Legislature.
White River Junction Vt. — The
strength of the new 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 oustanding features of the
state election in Vermont.
It is apparent that there has been
no election by the people, although a
sufficient number of Republican rep¬
resentatives were successful to seem
to insure the choice of Allen M.
Fletcher by the legislature.
For many years political students
have pointed out that any decrease
in the Republican majority in Ver¬
mont in September below the normal
of 25,000 has been followed almost
invariably by the party defeat in the
presidential contest in November.
These majorities, which have aver¬
aged close to 30,000 in all the state
elections in Vermont in presidential
years since 1892, were represented by
a bare plurality.
RURAL TELEPHONES.
Durham, N. C., Sun Tells in Editorial
Value of the Telephone, to
) Farmers, *
, that*
We are) glad to notice quite a
number of farmers of this county
have recently installed telephones in
their country homes with connection
with the Durham exchange. There
is nothing that adds more to the
comfort and pleasure of living in the
country than a telephone. It brings
to the home assurances of safety
from many evils that come to the
country home. The telephone places
the home in instant connection with
medical aid; it commands instant as¬
sistance in case of accident, fire or
other calamity; and in case of busi¬
ness it is of very great importance.
The farmer who has a telephone in
his home saves his horses and teams
many needless trips. He can know
when to go to market by phoning and
finding out the price of products on
the day he expects to go to market.
If the prices are low he can wait un‘
til next day, or next week.
In fact the advantages of the tele’
phone in the country home are so
numerous that it is impossible to
mention them in detail. We are glad
to know that our farmers are waking
up to their value, and we predict that
as a few live, progressive farmers in¬
stall these conveniences that others
will follow.
At present we have several lines
running out from Durham.
We hope to see the day come when
the entire county will be covered by
rural phone lines.—Durham (N. C.)
Sun.
Troops on Guard.
Jackson, Mich. — Five companies
of Michigan National Guardsmen,
with rifles loaded to kill, are camped
within and outside the walls of the
state penitentiary. The convicts,
whom the authorities allege were re¬
sponsible for an outbreak—probably
the worst in th ehistory of the insti¬
tution—are locked up in the heart of
the worst in the history of the insti
chained to their cells. Every convict
was in custody and not a single pris¬
oner was badly hurt, according to the
statement of the warden.
Martial Law for Strikers.
Charleston, W. Va.—Conditions are
quiet in the. Kanawha strike zone.
Governor Glasscock’s declaration of
martial law seemed to have a sober¬
ing effect. Throughout Paint and
Cabin creeks, however, a tense situ¬
ation exists and state militia, strik¬
ers, mine guards and operators all are
alert. A number of incorporated
towns are included in the district
placed under martial law. All civil
authorities have ceased to perform
their duties, and the execution of
laws, is under regular warfare.
Uncle Sam’s Revenues Increase.
Washington.—Treasury figures for
August, announced, indicated that the
government revenues were jumping
over the returns for the same period
last year. Customs receipts for Au¬
gust and July, the first two months
of the present fiscal year, ran $4,000,
000 each above the figures for the
same two months of 1911. Ordinary
internal revenue taxes were an in¬
crease of $3,000,000 more for the two
month period of this year than for
last year.

way. I was all run down in every way.
“ I tried three doctors and each told me something different I received
no benefit from any of them but seemed to suffer more. The last doctor
said it was no use for me to take anything as nothing would restore me to
health again. So I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound

ANGRY FISH BITES ANGLER
Brooklyn Man, the S%fferer, Sends
Head to Pasteur Institute, Fear¬
ing Rabies.
Whether a fish can have hydro¬
phobia is a question that Fred
Henry of Hancock street, Brooklyn,
would like to have settled, and for
that reason he has sent to the Pas¬
teur institute in New York the head
of, a pickerel thjpL,bty htn? a£ Swaxts
wood lake recently, says a Newton (N.
J.) correspondent of the New York
Press. Henry was fishing in a boat
that was a trifle leaky and he took off
his shoes and socks. His first catch
was a pickerel weighing three pounds.
When he yanked the fish it flopped
around in the bottom of the boat in
a lively fashion.
As Henry was baiting up again he
felt a sharp pain in 0 ne of his feet.,
and. looking down, saw that the pick¬
erel had made a jump and fastened
its teeth in his toe. He tried to kick
the fish away, but the pickerel held
on and Henry had to use the handle
of his landing net to pry open the
fish’s jaws before he got free of it.
The toe started to swell where the
teeth had punctured It, and Henry be¬
came worried. He says he thinks it
possible that the pickerel may have
had hydrophobia and, as a precau¬
tionary measure, he sent the head to
the Pasteur institute.
His Weapon.
“Did you see where an escaping ma¬
niac somewhere struck down his pur¬
suer with a cake of soap?”
“Then I suppose he made a dean
getaway.”
It’s well enough to hope, but don’t
loaf on the job while doing it:
A FOOD CONVERT
Good Food the Tru* Road to- Health.
_
The pernicious habit some persons
still have of relying on nauseous drugs
to relieve stomach trouble keeps up
the patent medicine business and helps
keep up the army of dyspeptics.
Indigestion—dyspepsia — is caused
by what is put into the stomach in the
way of improper food, the kind that
so taxes the strength of the digestive
organs they are actually crippled.
When this state is reached, to resort
to tonics is like whipping a tired
horse with a big load. Every addi¬
tional effort he makes under the lash
diminishes his power to move the
load.
Try helping the stomach by leaving
off heavy, greasy, indigestible food
and take on Grape-Nuts—light, easily
digested, full of strength for nerves
and brain, in every grain of it. There’s
no waste of time nor energy when
Grape-Nuts is the food.
“I am an enthusiastic user of Grape
Nuts and consider it an ideal food."
writes a Maine man:
“I had nervous dyspepsia and was
all run down and my food seemed to
do me but little good. From reading
an advertisement I tried Grape-Nuts
food, and, after a few weeks’ steady
use of it, felt greatly improved.
"Am much stronger, not nervous
now, and can do more work without
feeling so tired, and am better every
way.
“I relish Grape-Nuts best with cream
and use four heaping teaspoonfuls as
the cereal part of a meal. I am sure
there are thousands of persons with
stomach trouble who would be bene¬
fited by using Grape-Nuts.” Name giv¬
