Leaders of the Party Meet at st. Paul For
Conference.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 3s-An open confer
ence between members OF the Republic
can state central committee and the ex-
ecutive committee of the State League
of Republican clubs took place at the
Windsor hotel.
The meeting was called to order about
2:3o by Tams Bixby, who explained that
1t was customary to hold these meetings
early in the year, and it had been
thought best to have both the commit
tees meet together now and start
ON the work in harmony, when glori-
Gus victory would be assured. Organi-
cation was effected by the election of
Mr.. Bixby as chairman and F. G.
Stevens secretary.
John Goodnow, president of the State
Republican leage, was called upon to
state fully the object of the meeting.
The question of holding an early con-
vention of the State league was dis
cussed at some length.

Nearly Jailed a Secretary of State.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 3.-Secretary of
State Osborne narrowly escaped going to
Jail. Judge Hazen, in the district court,
in the libel case of Cyrus Leland of
Troy, Kan, against Osborne, sentenced
the defendant to $500 and costs. The
sheriff told Osborne he would have to put
himSsin Jail unless the fine was paid.
Osborne and his friends hustled around
and had Hazen withdraw the sentence.
The attorneys for Osborne appear to
have been negligent in not having the
papers ready for an appeal. Osborne
intends to take the case to the supreme
court.

STILL MORE ATTRACTIVE.
Increased Popularity of the Food EN-
position.

Tha attendance at the pure food exposi-
ton in Convention Hall yesterday after
noon and last evening was by far the
largest OF the week The visitors make
no complaint, and the only dissatisfaction
express by the exhibitors is over the
fact that they cannot distribute samples
as rapidly as they desire. The big food
firms located in all sections of the country
are taking an unlimited amount of interest
in the present exposition, and are trying
by all means in their power to make 1t
the most satisfactory pure food show ever
presented to the Washington public.
Weller Baker & Company have increased
the already great popularity of their choc-
olates and cocoas by bountiful generosity
since the opening of the show. The booth
is a handsome one, and maids attired in
quaint costumes similar to the well-known
trade mark Of the firm serve the beverage
to all who apply, and they are legion. The
phantCscope Is continually surrounded by
an interested throng, and the inventor, G..
Francis jenkins, has prepared number of
new subjects to please the public eye. The
flower booth has been newly decorated in
renaissance style, festooned with huge ro-
settles. The occupant, Miss Frances f.
Sears, has made her booth the Mecca for
the majority of the younger visitors and
she Is constantly busy dispensing roses and
smiles. The None Such Mince Meat peo-
pie ma that IL Is necessary to display I'M
usual activity to supply the clamoring de-
mand for pie. and, in fact, all the ex-
hibtors do not know what an idle min
ute is.
r. Miss Helen Louise johnson dilated at
some length yesterday upor the necessity
for furnishing instruction in cooking in
the public schools. and she stated that
every girl pupil should be required to
know how to make a loaf of bread and to
cook ell before being awarded a diploma.
The program of lectures arranged for next
week 10 as follows: Monday, The Cook
ing OF Meats Tuesday, "Diet for the
Sick" Wednesday. Desserts" Thursday,
The Thanksgiving Dinner" Friday, "A
Fish Supper" and saturday. New Recipes

The lecture this afternoon will be by
Miss Jacobs Of the cooking department OF
the public schools of the District of CO.
lumbia- Her subject will be one of special
interest. Two new exhibits We're placed in
position this morIing. The newcomers are
the Harrisonburg Flour Company Of Har-

mense quantities and give 1t away while
smoking hot. and j. Albert Snyder, who
has come down from Trenton, n. j., to
show the Washington people what he can
do In the way of preparing buckwheat
cakes.
