THE NOMINATIONS.
For Only Two Offices Was There
Any Real Contest.
LEWELLING FOR GOVERNOR.
He Is Renominated With Enthusiasm The
Karnes or the Other Nominees—A
Resolution Promising to Kn-
force Mining Laws.
Topf.ka, Kan.. June 15.—The popu-
list state convention has gone into his-
tory, its work having- been completed
last evening. After the platform with
u woman suffrage plank had been
adopted all was plain sailing compara-
tively speaking. For only two offices
was there any real contest and in
each of these two the contest was
settled on the first ballot. The pre-
dicted opposition to (iov. Lewell.ng
did not materialize. On the contrary,
more enthusiasm was shown for his re-
nomination than was displayed over
any other candidate. Mrs. Mary 1'.-
Lease's promised candidacy for eon-
gressman-at-large did not come to the
front in even the smallest degree. In
fact haste and harmony were the prin-
ciples which guided t h.* convention in
making nominations.
For associate justice of the supreme
court, the candidates were George \N . ^
Clark, of llice county; Judge M. li.
Nicholson, of Morris county,and Judge
W. C. Webb, of Shawnee county. Each
explained briefly before the ballot was
taken. On this Clark had 305, Webb
235 and Nicholson TO, but, before tlje
announcement could be made, several
counties changed to Clark and he was
nominated by acclamation.
When C. L. McKesson, of Elk county,
presented the name of Gov. Lewelling
for renomination, there was even more
enthusiasm than was shown in the
morning over the carrying of the
woman suffrage plank. A large por-
trait was displayed on the stage and
was cheered again and again.
For lieutenant-governor, Percy Dan-
iels, the present incumbent, who had
recently declared himself out of the
race, but had recanted later; D. J. Fur-
beck, of Shawnee; J. Cole, of Reno, and ;
,f. V. Randolph, of Lyon, were named, j
Fur beck received 418, Daniels 144. Ran- ;
dolph 22 and Cole 22. Furbeck's nomi- |
nation was made unanimous.
When the closing session began in j
the evening, a resolution, offered by I
State Mine Inspector Gallagher,promis-
ing support to the miners in lawful un- j
dertakings and in the enforcement of
mining laws was carried.
Dr. J. It. Dykes, of Smith Center,
placed the name of J. W. Amis, of
Smith county, before the convention
for secretary of state. After he had
shown himself, his nomination was
made by acclamation.
E. M. Trace well, of Cherokee county,
put forward Auditor of State Van li.
Prather for renomination. This, too,
went through by acclamation, after H.
F. Harbough had been named and
withdrawn. Then Attorney-General
Little. Treasurer of State Iiiddle, State
Superintendent of Instruction Gaines
and Congressman-at-Large Harris were
renominated in quick succession. This
enfted the real work of the convention.
A message from Mrs. Lease cheering
for the convention was read and then
there was a brief season of speech
making, the women doing most of the
talking. Gen. Hennett, the common-
wealer was permitted to make a talk .
and the hat was passed for his benefit,
resulting in a collection of something
over 8100. i
Mrs. Anna L. Diggs is lying very ill
at the residence of Dr. S. McLallin.
editor of the Advocate. After the
adoption of the suffrage plank by the
populist state convention yesterday,
for which she had labored so untiring-
ly, her nervous system gave way and
she fell into an illness which her friends
fear may be protracted if not serious.
The new populist state central com-
mittee organized this morning by elect-
ing John W. Breldenthal chairman
and R. II. Semple secretary.
Reforming Omaha'# Police.
Omaha, Neb., June 15.—The Ameri-
can Protective association and Catholic
elements on the Omaha police forcc
have long disorganized the force and
rendered the department practically
worthless. At an all night session last
night the lire and police com-
mission dismissed all the active rep-
resentatives of both elements in both
the police and detective forces, num-
bering two dozen. The board declares
that if this does not induce harmony
between the two factions it will dis-
miss every man belonging to Catholic
or A. P. A. organizations and reorgan-
ize the force completely.
Hllletl by Holler Explosion.
CHIM.ICOTHE, Mo., June 15.—The ex-
plosion of a saw mill boiler 20
miles east of here last night resulted in
the instant death of James and Aaron
Logue. the owners of the mill, and
badly injuring William Kemper. The
cause of the explosion was a scarcity
of water in the boiler. James Logue
was 01 years old and a widower, while
his brother, Aaron, was 41 years of age
and married. The bodies of the de-
ceased were mangled beyond recogni-
tion.

Dkxtkk. Mo., June 15.—1'. W. Hoyt, a
farmer living 13 miles southeast of

bed yesterday morning by his son. Sam
Hoyt. The boy was loading a gun to

discharged into his fatlu«r's breast
•".using instant death.

gx-Csshler Craw ford Shoots Himself In ftu
Attorney's Oltiee.
Springfield, Mo., June 15.—A. 11.
Crawford, the indicted cashier of the
American National bank, which failed
several months ago, secured a revolver
in some way while hunting for bonds-
men to-day and at 12:45 o'clock while in
the office of S. 11. lioyd, his attorney,
he suddenly shot himself in the left
side and will probably die. He was in
charge of Deputy Marshal W. T. Brown
at the time.
Hank Examiner W. A. Latimer
claimed that 818,000 was embezzled by
Crawford and he was arrested on that
charge. He was to have been tried at
the next term of the United States dis-
trict court in this city and until a we®
ago was out on bond. Last week L. •
Murray, one of his bondsmen, heard
that he was putting his property out of
his name, so he went to Kansas City
to be relieved from the bond. This
was granted, and Crawford was placed
in charge of the United States mai-
shal, where he has been ever since. He
had boen making desperate efforts to
tind bondsmen, but could not succeed.
Crawford is a brother-in-law of Col.
John O'Day, ex-vice president of the
St. Louis & San Francisco railway, who
had positively refused to go on the sec-
ond bond. __
