the chair, having been elected president

and e. b Wheeler was elected secre-

meeting was to elect delegates to the
State convention which met at Milwau-
kee yesterday. Owing to the County
Convention it was impossible to secure
full delegation, besides the presi-
dent and secretary, and David Schrein-

could be made to last longer than iron

so simple and inexpensive that it was
not worth while making any stir about
it. would as soon have poplar. bass
wood or quaking asp as any other kind
of timber for fence posts. After hav-
ing been set for seven years they were
as sound when they were taken out as
when they were first put in the ground.
Time and weather seems to have no
effect upon them. The posts can be
prepared for less than two cents apiece.
This is the recipe: take boiled linseed
oil and stir in it pulverized charcoal to
the consistency of paint. Put coat OF
this over the timber and there is not a
man who will live to see it rot.

HOW TO GET 4 SAFE OPEN

Hartford Loeksmith without the COM
binatiOn Makes Short Work.
Occasionally one hears Of a safe that has
turned on its owner and refuses to open,
whether because the combination has been
lost or for some other equally convincing
reason, and the safe usually has the best OF
the argument for some time. That there
are a good many more of which nothing is
heard outside the people Immediately in
terested, is shown by the fact that one
Hartford man has had fifteen of them to
attend to in Hartford and its immediate
vicinity in little more than year. His
name is w. II. Halliday, and he has lock-
smith shop on Front street,
When r. Ganley disappeared the com
bination of his safe went with him, and
after Mr.. 4! w. Parsons had qualified
as assignee his troubles began with getting
that safe open First he consulted the
agent who sold it. He was of the opinion
that there need be no trouble. Just send
the safe to the factory; they would drill
around the lock, get the thing open and
send it back with a new door on for from
$40 to $50. This did not sound encourage
ing, and Mr. Parsons meditated and in
quired. He wanted a key fitted, and went
to Mr.. Halliday, who recognized the key as
one fitting a lock at Ganley's place, and
presently asked how the safe had been left.
Mr., Parsons sorrowfully admitted that he
had been unable to get into it, and Halli-
day suggested that he could get it open
without all the destruction that he was told
was impending He admitted that he
should drill ono hole, but added that it
would be small, and that when he had en-
tirely finished no one could find it.
On the strength of this he was told to go
ahead. Mr.. Halliday went to work, and
in about an hour and a half the door swung
open.
Now for the way the trick was done.
Mr. Halliday has drawings of the ordinary
bank and safe locks Finding out what
the lock in this case was he looked it up,
found just where he must drill to get at
the point where the tumbler slots must
come in line before the bolt can be thrown
Dust as they would be If the combination
were set, drilled quarter inch hole there,
and by using a wire to check them aud
turning the knob till one after another
came round and was arrested at a proper
point, brought things to such pass that
he could throw the bolts and open the door.
When the little hole was plugged with q
screw and painted no one could see where
the hole was made.
But when q peaceable citizen can toy
with locks in such fashion in the ordinary
course of trade it suggests something OF
the possibilities for expert bank robbers,
who have plenty Of brains and training
and big stake to make if they succeed -

The Memphis Commercial, discuss
ing the convention and the unfair adj
vantage taken of the Memphis bar
and other distinguished men of that
city for the place, says; "Dubose
owes no man anything for his nomi-
nation. He put himself there. He
was stronger in the convention than
all the adverse influences put tOgeth-
er. He had stood by the boys for
twenty five years and they had to
stand by him. Memphis can
spare him. And in this view it is
perhaps the best thing the conven-
ton could have done. Let the CALLED
jade vince, our withers are I'M
wrung.'" Perhaps Memphis would
do we'll to get rid of both Patterson
and DubOse, but can the Tennessee
democracy afford to take this disturb
ing element off of Memphiss hands
