A petition for county division was
circulated In town during the week and
numerously signed. While there il no
great enthusiasm Oh division yet every
body seems to he In favor OF the measure
and desire 10 sec II 20 through. II Is
generally conceded that now is the
most auspicions time we are ever liable
10 have in which TO put division through
on basis favorable TO the White river
side OF the Divide. inasmnch as this side
will not have as much OF Garileld's
debt TO assume ut this time as 1t would,
in all probability, have to shoulder two
years hence. Two years ago our share
Of the debt. according to the then as
sessed valuation. would have been two
thirds. but since then the ASSESSED
valuation has switched around and
Grand river Is now occupying the POSI-
tion formerly held by this side. This
change has been brought about by the
advent OF two rail- roads In the south
eastern end Of the county during the
past year. the remarkable growth OF
SNHNtN GItHsF, WI b'h'aAN "''h -N'"
Castle. The White river side has in-
creased In valuation, but not in the same
ratio rs Grand river, 30 ut the present
tine we VIII have TO assume less than
one-,hird OF the county debt. There are
numerous other arguments that could
be advanced In favor u county division,
such as the long distance from the pres
ent county seat and the heavy expense
cntai!ed In going there To transact ordi'
nary county business, the hardsiiips and
extra expenses incidental to beng
hauled over thers on Jury duty ut II
time when men want 10 50 on the round
up, or look after their crops, but We
think tho one Item Of the debt Is In IL
self sufficient argument In favor o! di'
vision. Let the intelligent taxpayer
gi{e tire question due consideration and
act according 10 the dictates Of his
Judgment. Tho petition can be found
In the postotlce.

CHICAGO, July 26.-May Waldron en-
tered this morning on the twenty fourth
day Of the fast that is to transform her
from a mass Of quivering adipose to a
cute, 1.-the, willowy, little creature.
Everybody that witnessed the Henri.
etta," as presented by Robson and Crane
during the past season, will remember
the handsome, but something more than
buxom, young woman who im%personated
Lady Mary" the American bride of the
dudish London lord. This was May Wal
dron, a Chicago born girl, and daughter
OF one of the original founders of the
Chicago News. Just from which
one of her ancestors she inherited
her tendency towards obesity is some
thing Of q mystery, but 1t is certain that
during the past season she gained flesh
SO rapidly as to give promise that she
might ere long become a valuable auxll-
larry to Barnum's circus as a successor
to the late lamented Hannah Battersby.
just before closing the season in New
York she was offered a remunerative
summer engagement in this city, but
when she arrived and the manager gazed
upon her ample proportions the contract
went into a pigeon hole. The result
was that Miss Waldron consulted
a noted Washington specialist,
and under his instructions on
July 2 she commenced q forty five days
course of fasting. Since that date moth
ing has passed her lips except the juice
Of an orange taken three times daily,
with copious draughts Of water. while
three Turkish baths weekly complete the
treatment. SO far her weight has dropped
from 1914 to 1862. and she is hopeful of
coming down to 145 by the expiration of
the term of fasting. The specialist also
guarantees that ne matter how much she
may eat or drink after her fast is ended,
the excess of adipose will never return.

Will Be a Stormy Meeting.

PHILADELPHIA, July 26.-It is becom-
ing more certain every day that the com
ing convention Of the Irish National
League of America will be of the most
stormy character. The delegatesfrom the
Philadelphia councils will raise the ques-
ton of the right of President Fitzgerald
to revoke the call for the gathering and
the Cronin, Clan-na Gael and other live
issues are certain to be injected into the
proceedings. Patrick Gleason, of New
York, a delegate 10 the convention which
should have been held this month, is in
the city in conference with some Of the
local leaders. He says that few of the
eastern councils have retained confidence
in the present executive management OF
the organization, that it has been run in
the interest of the Clan.na-Gael, and that
unless a convention is speedily called and
an accounting made Of the funds the
eastern councils will secede and send
their contributions direct to the parent
society in Dublin.
