At the Democratic State Convention
a proposition TO use the American nag
as the official device on the Australian
ballot" for the. party ticket was voted
down, and the barnyard rooster was
adopted. The erroneous impression
prevailed that such a use Of the Tag
was contrary to the recent Congress
sional law forbidding advertising on
the flag. 1t Is not generally known
that the Australian ballot" law passed
last winter expressly forbids the use OF
the national flag as an official party de-
vice. Part Of Section Is reads:
''If the certificate Of nomination OF
any State Convention shall request that
the figure or device selected by such
convention be used to designate the can
didaies of such party on the ballots for
all elections throughout the State,
such figure or deYice shall be so used
until changed by request OF subsequent
State convention Of the same party.
Such device may be the figure Of star,
an eagle, pillow or some such approprl-
ate symbol, but the coat Of arms or seal
of the State or of the United States,
the National flag, or any other emblem
common to the people at large, shall not
be used as such device"

repertory.
Fanny Davenport is passing the sum-
mer at her lovely home in Canton,
Bradford county, Pa. Her mother,
who, years ago, was famous as Fannie
Bowers, is with her Ill and probably
dying.
Mary Anderson-Navarro requests
the Pal Mall Gazette to definitely an
nounce her final retirement. She is
living at Tunbridge Wells with her
husband in the strictest privacy, and
seldom makes her appearancein London
society, although her presence is
eagerly courted. She said few days
ago: 81 am happy in thinking that !
am done forever with the glare and
publicity of stage life."
An old record OF Daniel Webster's at
tendance at a concert by Jenny Lind
runs In these words: "Jenny Lind's
tone sped and lessened, and Webster's
broad chest grew erect and ex banded,
and forward leaned the aroused stat es-
man, his head raised to its fullest lit
above his shoulders and the luminous
caverns of his eyes opened wide upon
the lips of the singer. The breath less
stiffness was broken by tumult Of ap-
planse, but Webster sat motionless, the
spell still on him, till suddenly observ-
ing that she had turned to him after
courtesying to the audience and was re-
peating her acknowledgements unmis-
takably to himself, he rose to his feet
and bowed to her with the grace and
staleliness OF the monarch that he is"

CHICAGO, July 19.-Mrs. Lucy Far
sons has sought the protection OF the
law against the attacks Of former low
err. She swore out warrant charging
Martin I.ascber with malicious mischief
and disorderly conduct. and appeared In
the role of prosecuting witness before
Justice Severson In the West Chicago
Avenue Police Station to-day. When
her case was called man about twenty
five years old, and wearing glasses, Win
a shock of black hair and ragged mus.
tache. was ushered into the prisoners
box. Mrs. Pal sons was in no amlaoie
mood.
ssThis man." she said after she had
taken the witness stand, "came TO my
house and began to abuse me, claiming
that I was holding some of his properly;
7 put him out once, but he returned ana
broke in both the front and rear doors
of nv house with an axe, and also
smashed up my ornaments ana 1urni-
ture. He has made threats against my
life and property, and l have no re-
course but to appeal to the law"
Martin Lascher, the prisoner, MADE
an extended defense. He said that for
the past two years he and Mrs. Parsons
lived together as man and wife. Dur
ing that time he had become devoted TO
her. He recounted how he had been in
strumental in writing and publishing
the life of her husband, which she was
now selling. He stated that he had re-
Gently been out of work and that Mrs.
Parsons had seen fit to transfer her
fayors to some one better able TO pay
for them.
Mr.. Lascher, bringing his cour-
age to the sticking-point openly
charged the queen OF anarchy
with various gross offenses against
the moral law. The swarthy
woman thereupon burst forth with the
fury that characterized her utterances
in days gone by:
"If you say that again I'll kill youP"
She brandished her umbrella threat
eningly.
your Honor" she continued, eft is
an unwarranted attack on me. He has
threatened me repeatedly with this ex-
posure If I left him, and the reason |
have endured his company so long was
| was afraid of him."
Justice Severson closed the case by
dismssing the charge of malicious
mischief and filming the defendant S25
and costs on the charge of disorderly
conduct.

Mr.. EDITORIALS I have V seen
one word from Spring Hill Alliance,
No. 566, in THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
I will now attempt to introduce
her in it's columns. We num-
Der about forty members, male and
female, in good standing. We
have had some financial trouble
for the past year \and several have
deserted us, some have been dimited
and have gone to other Alliances,
while others have remained at home
and neglected the Alliance altogether,
yet there were a few that were made
of good material that have remained
true and loyal to the cause, and by
their loyalty have encouraged others,
and still the good work goes on.
On Saturday, June 9Th, our Alliance
was aroused and thoroughly awakened
by one Of the most logical and patriotic
speeches we ever had the pleasure of
listening to, delivered by the Rev. J.
T. B. Hoover, our able and efficient
County lecturer. In the evening of
the same day our Alliance met in
regular order. 1t was altogether a
very pleasant meeting. 1t being the
day for the election of officers, the fol-
lowing officers were elected: Presi-
dent, Jesse Kirby; Vice-President, w.
L. Barnes, Secretary, W. A, Grice;
Treasurer, Ashley Atkinson; Lecturer,
E. J. Barnes; Chaplain, w. F. Rowe;
Steward, J. K. Ruffin, Sergeant-at-
Arms, w. S. Boswell; D~oorkeeper and
