Hugh Cavanaugh, Of Cincinnati, was
introduce as temporary chairman, and
when he advanced to the front of the
stage he was greeted with hearty ap-
plause. Cavauaugh said this was tn
most important convention held by any
party for many y ars. 1t is composed Of
men who have no axes to grind "Wc

dominating pa,ties that they have served
out their time. We differ from both the

here to represent principle which must
in the end prevail. Politicians have been
saying You till the soil end VIC will

Cavauaugh said that John Sherman,
like Ingalls,, would be relegated to pri-
vate life. II the Mansfield Iceberg fully
understood his position he would say

which has been wrestling with the plat
form since 3 p. m, at 10 p. m, ad-

conclusion. The points at issuu
are prohibition and the land tax. Re-

Gates are not sanguirc. There is beneath
the sur ace considerable feeling between
the Federation of Labor men and the
Knights of Labor, which causes the farm

A SENATOR THUMPED.
Hon. Geo. X Mason sin the Hands OF his
friend" j. W. Hiltibridle.


Burdette township seems to be ''in it,"
30 far as sensations are concerned. On
lhe heels of the Justice affair, comes
word of scrapping match between Geo
r.. Mason. Ex-S State Senator and j. w.
HilterbridIe, a school teacher, and one
time the U. L. candidate for Supt. of
Schools. The war broke out as we under
stand over some neighdorhood trouble of
stock taken up, but in reality 1t is be-
iieved to be the elimination of an old
feud between Mason and Hilnbridle.
One of the ipgred tents in this scrap may
be the fact that Hiltibridle succeeded in
eetting township school which Mason
wanted for his daughter. II seems also
chat one Z. S. Wilson and Hiltibridle had
trouble over some stock. Hiltibridle
took up Wilson's stock, and the next day
found 40 rods of his wire fence cut, posts
taken out, and his own and Wilson's
stock in the latter's pasture.
As gwen the reporter, Hiltibridle
charges that Mason was engaged in this
nasty business with Wilson, but it
seems he was unable to prove it, so he
concluded to take IL out Of the Hon.
Georges hide. Mason claims Hiltibridle
came at him with stone weighing some-
thing less than a ton raised exclaiming,
s'prepare to fight" Whether the senator
tried to have the matter indefinitely
postponed" or only amended" depo-
nent sayeth not, but the record shows a
black eye, and several scratches. Mason
had HiltibrIdle arrested, and the trial
was set for yesterday before st. Law
renee justice. The case is being tried
this morning in Justice Derhinger's court

A. C.. Justice Of Burdette, Broke his

unfortunate occurrence at Buydette last
4eek,-so unfortunate and serious per-

sired to exchange a single tree he had in
his hand for one the boy had, but the
latter objected, and quarrel ensued. III
the heat of passion the father raised the
single tree and struck the boy terrible
BLOW above the left ear, crushing his
skull.
The matter was hushed up as well as
possible by the family, but it finally be-
came necessary to summon medical as
sistance, and DR.. Lane, of Miller was sent
for. These are the bare facts as given the
reporter by the physician, who considers
the boy in very critical condition. As
aome paliation or excuse for the fathers
insane act, members Of his family say
that he has been in i'll heal h for some
Time, a siege Of la grippe having left him
mentally and physically weakened. Mr..
Justice and family have always borne a
good reputation as intelligent law abiding
citizens.

sUHOoL ELECTION.
If Women Vote do they Rave to Pay
school TaXess

The annual school elections occur on
the 10th lof June. Under the new law
the officers elected IN each district will be
chairman, elected for one year; one
clerk for two years; one treasurer for three
years, these three to constitute the board.
A district" Is the same as township"
under old law, at present comprising just
one township, although hereafter subdi-
visions may be made. For this year each
township in Hand county will elect the
above officers.
As this election is held solely for school
purposes, the constitution permits women
10 vote thereat, which brings up the ques-
tion of whether ALL voters, whether male
or female, does not haye to pay school
poll of LOO each.
Chapter 2. section 26 Of the new school
law says: "The county commissioners
shall, at the time of making the annual as
sessment and levy OF taxes, levy tax OF
one dollar on EACH ELEcroR in the conn
" for the support of the common schools, ;"
etc. The natural Inference from this is
that every women in the state over II
years OF age, and a citiz en- in other re-
tpects, must pay school poll Of Sl.OO.
