WILLIAM II. TAFT. For more than two hours the dele gates and 10,000 visitors had swel 'ered In the almost overpowering leat of the packed Coliseum. For aany -tours the task of nominating arlous candidates had been going n. Then at the close came the at tempt at a stampede, and the ova ion accorded President Roosevelt as repeated. Weary and warm .'hough every one in the hall was, the 'remendous outburst swept everyone ;ut the delegates and the chairman Tom their feet, metaphorically, and Sad It not been for the fact that the delegates were not to be stampeded inder any circumstances the result of the convention might have been .liferent. As It was there never raw one minute when there was a hanee of a real stampede; there nev r was an instant when Taft'a nomi nation was In doubt Sherman for Second Place. Chicago, June 25.

SAYS NO THIRD TER'.l Thin Sentiment Cheered mid Thous and Cry Four Years More t'ntll Many Delegates Join In Kxeit.iv' Scene Most Abuied and Most Popular Man in the Country. Ohleagot, June 25. '"Four, four, four years more!" Groups of men began to roar tli'.i refrain hoarsely against the Colis eum roof when their lungs were spent from cheering for Roosevelt. They kept It going, squad after sium'l of singers taking It up, ns one by one others grew tired of the rtia 11 until the demonstration had broken all national convention records rn.l the watches had clicked off three quarters of an hour from the time that there had fallen from l'.eruy Cabot Lodge's Hps the Ktntemet't that the President "is the heft abused and the moxt popular inn 11 In the country to-day." The end of the sentence that the permanent chairman had Hung In ti e teeth of the stclld foes of Rooseve t had not cut the tense air of the audi torium before the riot uuiiir way. ft")- t f ft' PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. For some minutes the usual scenes attending such an outbreak in a na tional convention passed before the eye In swift succession. Genuine enthusiasm possessed the crowd, as was manifest from the thoughtless acts of scores. Men anc. women waved whatever happened to ba In their hands. Maybe it was a Demo cratic newspaper, with flaring head lines, or it might be an umbrella or a box of candy. In the first five min utes of the demonstration the most cynical observer would not have thrown any doubt on the sincerity of the tribute paid to the President. The brother of Vice President Fair banks joined In the outbreak from a conspicuous place on the stage. Senator Lodge dropped back In his seat and let the mob rave. On his face was no smile of satisfaction. SENATOR H. C. LODGE. It was noV until the obt t'nato third-term shouters had spent the last ounce of their energy and KU'k exhausted into their seats that t!m composed and confident Masra'li.i petts Senator arose to resume l.U speech. In a few moments after h had regained .ho command of thit gavel which had been torn from Hi hands, Mr. Lodge let h's clear to'.'.H ring out the phrases that wo u hi j r t. un end for all time to the third-tun craze: "Any one who attempts to ur,u his name as a candidate for the presi dency Impugns both his ninferiiy tind his good faith, two of the Pres. Meat's greatest and most conspicu ous qualities, upon which no sl.bdovv uus ever been cast." The great crowd gaspefl and strained Its ears. Again Lodge hurl ed the rebuke. "That man Is no friend of Theo doro itoobevelt and does not cherls'i his name und fame, wbo now, from c us' not'.ve, Beelts to urge him as a. fur.ilidate for the Kmit oflke whleU lie Ur.n ft i; a ly declined. MB?' THE COLUMBIAN, VOICES LAItOIPM DEMANDS, Sninncl flmnprrft Presents Injunction Plank to Committee. Chicago, June 25. When the sub committee of the resolutions com mittee met the doors were thrown open to grant a short hearing to rep resentatives of the American Federa tion of Labor and the Illlnol.; Manu facturers' Association. President Samuel Gompers and Vice Presidents Keefe and Duncan appeared for the federation, nnd Mr. Oompcrs made suggestions accepta ble to labor men. He proposed the following anti Injunction plank: We pledge ourselves to the enact ment of a law to prohlbt the Issuance cf Injunctions In obrcs arising out of labor daputes, when Btich Injunc tions would not apply when no lab or disputes existed; and that In no A fco, yi r SAMUEL OOMPERS. rase shall an Injunction be Issued when there exists a remedy by tho ordinary process of law. And which act shall provide that In the procedure for the punishment of contempt of court the party cited for contempt shall, when such con tempt was not committed tn the act ual presence of the court, be entitled to a trial by Jury. Gompers also asked for pledge of a law exempting wage-earners and farmers from the anti-trust law; eight hours for all government em ployes; a general employers' liabil ity act; woman's suffrage, and a sep arate department of labor. "We do not want to eat an em ployer as an appetizer for breakfast or as a dessert for dinner," said Gompers, "but we want fair treat ment and we are going to have It. "We are not anarchists or de stroyer:, of property. I do not be lieve there Is In existence in thin country a force and power that Is such a conservator of peace as the American labor mo ement. "If you outlaw our movement and make it Impossible, und destroy the incentive for men to belong to labor organizations, you will find the ex pression of discontent take some oth er form, and you will have to deal with that." CHIEF POINTS OF THE REPUB LICAN PLATFORM. Unqualified indorsement of the poli cies advocated by President Roose velt. Indorsement of the emergency cur rency legislation. Unequivocal declaration for a revision of the tariff by a special Res ion of Congress following the inaug uration of the next President. Development of a permanent cur rency system. Establishment of a postul savings bank system. Indorsement of the Sherman Anti Trust law and a recommendation that it be further strengthened by legislation. Indorsement of the Railroad Rate law and the laws against rebating. Indorsement of the Employers' Liability law. Modified anti-injunction plank. Equal justice for the negro. Favoring ship subsidies. More liberal administration of the pension laws. Sherman in a Hospital. Cleveland, June 25. James S. Sherman, Republican nominee for the Vice-Presidency, was removed to the Lakeside Hospital Tuesday, enfferlug with gall stones, an old ailment. Physicians In attendance nnnounced that his Illness was more painful than serious, and, that whilo h.ls condition had caused some alarm, it was by no means consid ered critical. He will In all proba bility be In tho hospital for several days, and an operation may hg. nec essary, though this Is not certain. Dr. John M. Finney, a specialist of Raltlmoro, has been summoned nnd what action will be taken wl'l re it largely on his Uectsion. A gall stone, eo called, Is merely thickened bile. It hardens until the stones are formed in tho gall blad der or biliary duct. They are of various ulinpes and sizes, from that of a pea to that of a small cherry. A dozen, or, In extreme cases, half a handful, may occlude or close the biliary duct. They cause an arrest of the flow of bile. In extreme cases when this occurn, tho pa'ri is severe, often agonizing. If medical relief falls, a surgeon is cal'ed in, when an oper ation Is In order. In the oiden days any opening of the abdominal cavity generally meant death. To-day, thanks to an'.iweptlo surgery, scores and scores of these important major operations ure performed without ft fatal result. r BLOOMSBURO. PA. FIHST M HI So Gov. John A. Johnson, of Minnesota, Declares Himself. TROUBLE FOR BRYAN Will Not Accept the Nomination for Vlee-PrpHldencjr fnder Any Cir cumstances If Nominated Will Compel Committee to Make An other Choice, Chicago, June 25. Governor John Johnson of Minnesota, will not per mit the nomination of William Jen nings tfryan by the Democratic par tv at it National Convention In Den ver on July 7 without a struggle. ) He threw down the gauntlet when, , through his campaign management , he nnnounced: I "I will not accept the nomination for the Vice-Presidency under any circumstances. If there Is such a i nomination, I shall compel the na- tionnl committee to make another . choice." ' This situation means trouble for the Democrats at Denver. Although the Iiryan following announce they j have two thirds of the delegates In structed for Iiryan, the Johnson ' forces are fur from quitting. They claim to have found a situation In the Democratic party which is a black cloud on the Iiryan horizon. i Manager Nappen speaking of the situation said: GOV. JOHN A. JOHNSON. "We have some conventions to hear from yet. It is not an over. Iiryan has not two-thirds of the delegates yet. We are going Into Denver to win the nomination tor Mr. Johnson and not to have him In the second place. "People say It will make a strong ticket. It will never be a ticket. If Mr. Johnson Is nominated he will not accept under any circum stances." There are still four State conven tions to bo held. These involve i sixty-four delegates. If two of them Instruct for Bryan he will have two thirds of the delegates and enough to nominate on ihe first ballot. Here are the States yet to be heard from: Georgia, doubtful; 26 delegates. North Carolina, doubtful; 24 dele gates. Vermont, probably Bryan; 8 delegates. Montana, probably Bryan; 6 delegates. Dies After Forty Days Fast. Chicago, June 24.

Elchengrun Elberfeld. who described It In a recent lecture de livered before a scientific associa tion at Dusseldorf. While resem bling celluloid In some respects. It Is distinguished In being non-corgbustl-ble. Moreover, It Is available not only for the manufacture of hniri finlshed articles of all doscrlptions, but for elastic utensils. In all nses the things made of celllte are transparent as glass, not breakable, and not affected by water. The In ventor Is convinced that celllte will b substituted In many cases for glass, gelatine, celluloid, leather, and rubber. First, however, means must bo found for reducing Its cost. In Afghanistan. The primitive "eye for an eye" code would still seem to be In force In Afghanistan, where the Amir threatens to tear out the tongue of every one of his subjects who shall preach war against India, and cut off the feet of every one who shall cross iho frontier. Trust promoters In Afghanistan are probably strangled. The women of Bermuda, ect'ng onions plentifully, have the fi.(t complexions In the world. SHERIFF'S SALK.
