AT SIOUX RtLLS, MAY 9-
Fusion Populists Will Hold Their
National Convention.
Lincoln, Neb. Feb. 20. —The
populist national committee, pre
sided over by Senator Marion But
ler, today took up the question of
tune and place for the national
convention. A proposition from
the Texas delegation tnat May 9
be fixed upon as the date was
amended to permit a committee to
decide on both time and place.
The amendment was opposed vig
orously by the Texas delegation
as ‘cowardly and truckling to the
democrats.” Senator Allen, of Ne
braska, spoke at length in favor of
harmony and tor the making of a
date by the whole committee.
“Bryan will be the nominee of
both democrats and populists,”
said Senator Allen, “and the ques
tion of date makes little difference
anyhow.”
The amendment to refer to a
committee was voted down and
Wednesday, May 9, the same date
as that of the middle-of-the-road
convention at Cincinnati, was de
cided upon.
Kansas City, Sioux Falls and
Indianapolis presented claims for
the convention and each was grant
ed time to set forth its respective
advantages.
The result of the balloting gave
Sioux Falls 36; Kansas City, 22;
Milwaukee, xo; Indianapolis,. 8.
Changes were made in rapid suc
cession to Sioux Falls and the
choice was made unanimous.
After deciding on the apportion
ment of delegates to the national
convention the committee at 1:15
adjourned subject to the call of the
chairman.

RIVAL LEGISLATURES.
Both Democrats and Republicans
Hold Session.
Frankfort, Ky , Feb. 29. —The
democrats had a session of the sen
ate at 9 o’clock with President Pro
Tem. Carter presiding and ad
journed to meet aga n at 10:30.
The republicans adjourned Satur
day to meet at 11 o’clock today and
the democrats made this move to
get possession of the chamber first.
The senate convened at 10:30, both
Carter and Marshall presiding.
The republicans, recognizing
Marshall, adjourned alter prayer
and led by Lieut -Gov. Marshall,
the republican senators left the hall.
The democratic senators, recogniz
ing President Pro Tem. Carter,
paid no attention to the republican
proceedings and continued in ses
sion.
The democratic senate then
adopted a motion by Senator Allen,
of Lexington, to ratify and reaffirm
1 the former action of the senate by
which Goebel was declared gover
nor. This prevailed on a viva voce
vote, nobody making a demand for
the yeas and nays. Senator Trip
plette, an anti-Goebel democrat,
voted with the democrats for the
purpose of making a quorum.
The democratic senators adjourn
ed after adoting the Alien resolu
tion.
The proceedings of today are
likely to be duplicated in the sen
ate tomorrow, as both republicans
and democrats adjourned to me*-t
in the same hall tomorrow, 'i he
democrats will uu-et at 111:30 and
the republicans at noun. The house
democrats will follow the action of
the senate democrats ratifying the
fqrmer proceedings in the Goebel-
Taylor and Beckham-Marshall con
tests.
THE HOUSE SESSION.
The house convened at noon,
Speaker Trimble presiding. The
journal of the democratic legisla
te v siituig at Louisville Saturday
was read.
Mr. Hickman, democrat, demand
ed a roll call to ascertain the pres
ence of a quorum, The republi
cans did not answer to their names
and only fifty-three of the sixty
democrats were present.
The house adopted a resolution
directing the custodian of the pub
lic buildings to drape the legisla
tive halls and state house with em
blems of mourning and to place
the state capitol flag at half mast
on account of the death of Gov.
Goebel.
The contest matter was not tak

GEN. CRONJE SURROUNDED.
Report in London That British
Have Cut off Boer Army.
London, Feb, 20. —A member of
the cabinet told H. W. Lucy to
night that the war office had re
ceived a telegram announcing that
Gen. Cronje was hopelessly sur
rjunded. Mr. Wyndham was be
set by anxious members of the
house, but would only reply that
the government’s news was ex
tremely satisfactory. The sole ex
planation of the government with
holding good news is that confirma
tion and more details are awaited.
The situation as disclosed by cor
respondents over the Free Sts e
border is tantalizing to the public
expectation. The elementary facts
are the Boers are trekking eastward
toward Bloemfontein, with slow
moving baggage trains and that
they are pursued by Ford Kitch
ener with Gen. Kelly-Kenny divis
ion. Gen. MacDonald, with the
Highlanders, made a forced march
to Koodoos rand ford and on Sun
day pushed twenty miles eastward
Gen. French left Kimberley Satur
day, going east along the Modder
river. Lord Kitchener is trying to
outmarch and to outflank the Boers,
thus checking their retreat, if pos
sible, and driving them back into
the hands of MacDonald and
French.
The war office communication
to Mr. Lucy seems to indicate that
Lord Kitchener has either got
ahead of the Boers or is about to
realize his plan, and the war office
awaits to announce a decisive re
sult.

To Be Prepared
For war is the surest way for this nation
to maintain peace. That is the opinion
ot the wisest statesmen. It is equally
true that to be prepared for spring is the
best way to avoid the pecular dangers
of the season. This is a lesson multi
tudes are learning, and at tins time,
when the blood is sure to be loaded with
impurities and to be weak and sluggish,
the millions begin to take Hood’s Sar
saparilla, which purifies, enriches and
vitalizes the b'ood, expels all disease
germs, creates a good appetite, gives
strength and energy and put the whole
system in a healthy condition, prevent
ing pneumonia, fevers, and other dan
gerous diseases which are liable to attack
a weakened system.
