Shackleferd was, on the 46th ballot, nominated by the dem- erat of the eighth congressienal istrict to succeed the late Richard Pork Bland. The result was reached only after) s bitter fight that resolved itself into sdeadlock from the first ballot. Up to the 57th ballot the vote 38 Shackleford, 17 Hockaday, {2 MoOulloch, 8 Farris, Hannay 9; peceseary for cheice 53. On the 57th pallot one of the Osage delegates wnt to Shackleford, making his total 39, and there the matter stood antil the afternoon sessien of to day, qhen Mc. Haines of Dallas withdrew his name from before the convention snd his following went to Shacleferd, making his total 46. In the follow- ing ballots the gain for Shuckleford ws 1 from Laclede, and later 1 other, making his highest total to this time 48 votes. The balloting in the afternoon for some time was the same as it had been for several hours. The Shackle- ford men, however, seemed confident and after the 328th ballot a motion was made to allew Mr. Haines of Dallas to make aspeech. The mo- tion carried and in closing his re- marks he withdrew his name and in the next ballot the Dallas delegation voted for Shackleford and the big fight was on. For several ballots the vote steod thesame untila motion was made toallew Senator Farris of Laclede to make a speech. On the 332d ballot the motion carried and he withdrew the name of his father, J. W. Farris, and there was another change in the vote, giving Shackle- ford, 48; Hoekaday, 17; Hazell, 22, and Hannay, 7. On the 385th ballot the entire delegation of Cooper and Laclede went to Judge Hockaday, making the vote Shackleford, 48; Hockaday, 34; Hazell, 15; Hannay, 7. The flop, however, only lasted fer one ballot, forat the next roll call the Cooper men went to Hannay, and on the next to McOulloch The skirmishing at this poimt showed decided gains for Hockaday and Hazell, but there was nothing sure for any of the can- didates. For some time the vote stood at a standstill, until the Callaway delega- tion gave Colonel McCulloch a com- plimentary vote. Immediately they went back to their regular candidate, and the vote proceeded with the same results as before. Occasionally the vote would change to one man or another and then settle back to the same as where it started. There was every evidence, how- ever, in the closing minutes cf the The Senator sailed from Manila on July 1, with thirty-eight officers and 721 enlisted men. The transport was at Nagasaki on July 15, when | Colonel Hawkins was taken ill with cancer of the bowels, from which he had been a sufferer during the greater part of his campaign ia the} Philippines, and fer which he had | undergone treatment in the military hospital at Manila. His illness con- tinued during the following day (July 16), when the Senator was at Yokohama, and two days later he passed away at sea. Colonel Hawkins’ illness dated from the battle of Malalos, when he exposed himself almost recklessly in the disease breeding climate. He was respected and loved by every man of his command and his death is deeply mourned by the troops. His body was placed ina hermetic ally sealed casket and on the Sunday following his death impressive funeral services were conducted by the chaplain of the regiment, all of his men being in attendance. The remains were placed in the stern of the ye3sel and lay in state, tended night and day by a guard of honor during the remainder of the voyage. The casket will be taken ashore to morrow with ceremonies befitting Colonel Hawkins’ rank, after which the remains of the dead | commander will be sent to Pennsyl- vania for interment.

Electric Storm Ratses Cain, Preeton, Minn., Aug. 3.—This place was visited today by the worst electrical storm that has ever pass- ed over this region. Much damage was done by wind and lightning, followed by a cloud burst. Every wagon bridge for miles was either carried away or badly damaged. The railroad company is short forty rods of track and two bridges within two miles of the town. Residents on low ground were driven inte second stories, outbuildings swept away, and mueh live stock being drowned. Admiral Dewey very properly snubbed the Sultan of Turkey, the most eruel and bloodthirsty menarch in Europe, by declining the latter’s invitation to call at Constantinople. By this refusal, ssys the Minneapolis Tribune, Dewey forfeits the order which the sultan bestowed upon him last year, giving bim the right to afternoon session that Hockaday and Hazell were making gains for Shac j kleford At 4 o’clock a motion was adopted to allow the candidates to make five minute speeches. Judge Hockaday was called to the stand, andamid much enthusiastic applause stated his position. Judge Shackle- ford next took the stand and was also well received by the delegates and spectators, and so on down the line of candidates. On the 486th ballot the Pulaski delegation gave its vote te Shackle- ford and this ended the contest. 8. P. Stone and Dr. R. E. Young were delegated to notify the successful Candidate of his selec ion.

Morris te take | Miss Carlson as his wife, and there | |were murmurs about “the wrong} man.” “Wheres Mr. Morris?” and) “that fellow bas no right the | girl.” There were also murmurs | from other parts of the church, such | as “Go ahead with the marriage, | the girl knews who she warts to marry, and she’s picked out Os-| burg,” and ‘Morris has given up in | favor of Gsburg. Let the parsen go ahead.” Miss Carlson is of medium height, suple figure, pretty golden hair aud eyes blue enough to make any man a} poet. She is 22 years old, and, like | most girls of that age when stand ing between two pleading lovers, felt herself unable to marry both and just as incapable of rejecting either. So she chose Morris first, as he had the advantage of prece dent with him—that is, he had known the girl longest and they had exchanged rings, and what not. She chose Morris in the presence of Os burg. That was one week ago Sun- day night. Both stood before her in the parlor of her home at 226 Orleans street, and both said “Cheose.” She pointed to Morrie, and Osburg took his hat and step- ped out into the encircling gloom. OSBURG WAS SHREWO But it was not all over by any means. Osburg, shrewd lad, had heard ef woman's indecision, and determined te work a fine game. Ostensibly ke played into his rival’s hande; told the girl she would bet- ter marry Merris. Naturally the girl did not want to do anything of the kind. This is chapter one.
