COLUMBUS, o., May 25.-Present indi-
cations are that the third party men have
captured the convention OF the Ohio
Farmers Union which met here at l..
O'Clock this morning. President Likins,
of the state Alliance (open); President FL
lis, OF the state Grange, and other promi-
nent leaders are strongly in favor of an

sentative organization, AMI is composed
OF delegates from the open and secret

Hus bandry. the Mutual Benefit Assccla-
ton and all farmers societies having
state or county organization. The
present meeting IS the outgrowth OF a
state convention last fall at which time i
was decided TO hold another session be-
fore the fall election. The third party
movement will meet with some opposi.
ton, but conversation with delegates de.
yelops strong sentiment in its favor
and does not leave much room TO doubt
that 1t will carry.

ance, who Is here as a delegate to the

as follows:
THAT the following kinds Of property be

meuts yielding revenue OF profit

for all kinds OF property, and one uniform

reduced to ajust compensation for the actual
services rendered or work done, and greatly

Appropriations for military eucamp-

GLENDALE.


The citizens and tax payers ofthis town
are arguing the necessity for a new, or
larger, school house, and the means
whereby to build or secure one. Three
years ago necessity compelled an addition
to be built to the old school house, and
now this fails to give room for the in-
creased number of children who would
attend the school could they be accom-
modated. Another year will see the en-
rollment Of IS scholars now on the roll,
increased to 100, and it looks like a waste
of money to again add to the old build
ing. By building a large school house
now the tax payers will save money and
afford for their children advantages to Sc
cure a much better education. The
teacher who recently resigned, Mr. Douo-
van, complained of the over-crowded con-
iition of the school, and the almost im-
possible task Of teaching the great num-
Der, and we think his successor, Miss
Morris. Of Milton, is experiencing the
ianie disadvantage The school should
eally be divided into two rooms, and two /
eachers employed. This idea will make
ome short-sighted people kick; but it is
