SIX CANDIDATES.
Their Names Presented to the Frankfort
Caucus

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 13-The Demo
cratic caucus at Frankfort to name can
didate to succeed Senator Beck has spent
the night to midnight in speeches to put
men in the field. Ex-Governor Proctor
Knott. Iaban T. Moore, Congressman Nc
Creary and Carlisle respectively, were
nominated. According to the resolutions
passed bv the caucus last night the Demo
Gratis today scattered their votes among
their friends and in many cases voting for
each other. This is to prevent the possibility
OF rushing through nomination before the
caucus has acted. The Republicans voted
solidly for the Hon. Silas Adams, of Lib
ertv. KY. their caucus nominee. Carlisle s
men are for pushing the contest to con-
clusion but the opposition united on every
thing but a candidate. They control the
caucus and hope to wear out the Carlisle
supporters.
The legislative caucus adjourned after
the names Of Carlisle, McCreary, Knott,
Moore, Lindsay and Settle were placed In
nomination.

DAMAGING WINDS IN ILLINOIS.

SPRINGFIrLD, IL, May ia violent
wind storm struck Springfield last even
ing and lasted for perhaps thirty minutes.
Fences were destroyed and the steeple of
the st. Agnes church was blown down.
The damage to property, however, is not
great. Reports from surrounding places
indicate that the storm was very severe all
over this part of the state.
At Quincy great damage was done to
skylights, windows and shrubbery by a
furious hail storm. Berries and fruit
crops also suffered. At Burlington, Ia,
during the heavy thunder and rain, the
lightning struck several buildings and a
number of people received slight shocks.
No serious damage was done.

ner stated what was done at Georgetown
before the Superior Court, and said that
the decision would probably be handed
down early next week. The briefs and
propositions will be sent to Georgetown
shortly. he suggested that the Council
should not take any action on the Fire
Department election until the decision
is received. Council has the right to
elect but it would be BETTER not to do so,
President Farra stated concerning the
statement in one of the papers that the
firemen claimed that the motion of a
member at a previous meeting to omit
from the reading of the minutes the city
solicitors opinion, that he suggested the
motion to the member in order to expe-
dite business Even if the opinion had
not been read they would have been legal.
Mr.. Turner stated that the opinion
being public document was not affected
by Councils action. Mr.. Chambers said
that on one occasion the court rejected
the minutes of Council because they had
not been read before approval.
Council then adjourned
