BCCkLING UP FOR VICTORY.

The Republican county central commit
tee met yesterday at the Office OF Justice
Tucker and was largely attended, both by
the county and city delegates The feel
ing was very harmonious, so much so that
it was easy to predict victory in the fall
without much risk.
The 18th day OF August was chosen as
the date 1or the nominating convention
and the 10th for the primaries for the Sc
lection of delegates.
The representation was based on the vote
cast last fall for Chester l. Long for con-
gresss which will make the convention
consist of 236 delegates. OF this mum Der
l22 will be from the city and
ia from the country districts which is
the best apportionment yet made SO far as
the country Republicans are concerned.
This basis was decided upon as a reward
for the noble work done last fall by the
Republicans OF the country districts in
behalf of the Republican ticket
The committeeman OF the First commits
s!oners district met upon the.adiournment
OF the county central committee. On mo
ton the convention was called for 10
o'clock H. ~, sharp, August 18th just
preceding the county convention. The
COMMITTEES recommended the election of
two sets OF delegats Tor county and ON

AFTER SIX MONTHS TRIAL,

Frances Turner was a complainant in
the docket of the district court yesterday
She had a grievance, and a good one,
against her husband, William A. Turner,
the owner of good farm in Waco town
ship with ii real estate annex in this city.
To be brief, she wants a divorce, and if
the allegations she makes are true, she
ought 10 have one. She IS not content,
however, with Il divorce, but she wants
alimony to the extent of s., 900. There are
many grounds alleged for this divorce,
but there are two principal ones: First, he
calls her very bad names-names that are
not allowable in the Sunday Sun; and,
second, he Will not go TO church with her
or allow her to read her church
papers 10 peace. She alleges that both
herself and ier husband belong to the
same church, but when Sunday comes he
Will lot accompany her there. During
the week she gets church papers, and he
will not allow her to read them. This has
been going on for some time, notwith-
standing the fact that their union is not
yet seven months old, they having been
married on the Sth day of January 1898
For these seven months of nuptial discor d
she wants $1,000. or something III the
neighborhood OF $40 per month. Both Of
the parties had been married before, so
that their misunderstanding cannot be
attributed TO lack of experience in matri-
mouial life

THAT BLACK BEAR BUSINESS.

Yesterday Marshal Rarick went to
Guthrie with Manuel Herrick, the train
robber. That officer says the more he
talked - Herrick the more he WAS con-
WINGED that he has good sense and has
plenty of nerve He thinks Herrick's
story is about true. Last evening posse
composed OF Marshal Rarick aud United
States Marshal Grimes, Madsen. Thomas,
Glazier aud the assistant superintendent
OF the Wells Fargo Express company came
up on the passenger train from the
south. Yesterday WAS the day set for
the robbery according to HerTick,
and it was thought TO be best
to be ready for them. At Black Bear the
train stopped but no robbers showed up
and the train came on north. On the ar
rival of the train here word came from be-
low that the robbers came after the train
left and were waiting for the south bound.
According posse composed OF Grimes,
Madden, Thomas, Sheriff Auit and the AS
sistaut superintendent of the Wells Fargo
returned on the train. They were all
heavily armed and had fifteen rolls OF
