OF regents, which convened here Satur-
day evening, adjourned this morning to
meet in Scotland this evening. This
was made necessary by the
ment OF the serious illness OF the wife OF
Secretary Hale, summonlng him home.
1t is said that Gov. Sheldon had planned
to interrupt the proceedings Of the board
today, but this change prevents any in
reference he may have contemplated,
and puts Shannon and his friends beyond
the reach Of executive interference, for
the present at least. Frank Adams, the
governors standard bearer, declined to
to 60 to Scotland with the other mem
bers of the board.
1t is limited that DR.. McLouth will be
reelected president OF the agricultural
college early in the session, he having five
OF the eight members in his favor, also
that he will decline to accept, but may
change his mind when the full faculty is
named, all of whom will be his friends.

Presidential Contest.
CHICAGO, Aug. 20. Concerning the
view of the national committeeman on
the question Of a long or short cam
paign. The Times Herald says:
Thirty-eight national committee
men, 20 Democrats and Is Republic
cans, have responded to questions
asked by The Times Herald concerning
the policy of holding a short presiden.
tial campaign. The vote is now full
enough to clearly indicate the probable
results of the meetings which will
shortly be held by the two national
committees of the dominant parties.
The Republican national committee
will declare in favor Of a short presi-
Dental campaign.
The Democratic national committee
will declare in favor Of a short national
campaign unless the free silver party
dominates the councils Of the party.
The vote, 80 far as it has been received
and recorded by The Times-H Herald, is
as follows: Republican national COM
mittee-For a short campaign. IA:
against a short campaign. =; non-com-

Senator Cushman X. DAVIS OF Nlnne-
sofa has fairly launced his presidential
boomlet and placed it in charge OF Capt.
II. A. Castle of St. Paul. The Captain
relies on Senator Davis famous dis
patch to the Duluth strikers to win his
way to presidential honors. This is
putting big premium on patriotism in
a country where patriotism is all the
rage except among a few walking dele
gates and anarchists. While Seni tor
Davis telegram to the strikers may
have electrified the country, it is only
because there is a great deal OF latent
patriotism in this country which Il be
called out at any time, even for the
making Of presidential candidates il
necessary, and while it is a prime requis-
tie in a president, as we must at present
humbly confess, it Is not the only quail
tication, hence there are a great many
other things to be considered and ac-
copied before Mr.. Davis becomes a very
prominent candidate.

10 the Springfield Con-
VentiOn.

SPRINGFIELD, o., Aug. 20. - AL
though none of the leaders have ar
rived tor the Democratic state owen
ton on Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week, yet the advance guard of
workers and correspondents constitute
quite a crowd. Since the selection of
delegates in the different counties it is
evident that there will be a close fight
between the free silvermen and their
opponents on the organization Of the
convention and the platform. The
free silver men control the state exec
1tive committee and the Brice men
rontrol the state central committee.
The free silver men claim that returns
from county conventions show they
have a majority Of the delegates, but
this is not conceded by the Brice men.
If the free silver men secure the or
%ganization, it is believed they will
nominate Colonel James J. Kilbourns

The Milbank Review in an earnest an.
peal last week to farmers to stack their
grain gives the following urgent reasons
f1r 80 doing which we find heartily con
hrmed by our grain buyers here:
"The Review has been investigating
this question and finds that there is
more or less smut in the wheat, some
having considerable, while in other in
stances there may be but very little. In
either event, however, the danger Of
lowering the grade is the same. Every
!arme' knows that when the grain is cut
the smut ball is soft, AMI that upon run
ming through the thresher this smut
bal is crushed and is ditfused through
out the entire mass of wheat. The new
wheat berry has a slight fuzz on it which
causes PARTICLES Of the smut to adhere to
It. In addition to the crushed smut
ball, causing a bad smell. it also discol-
ors the grain, tending to still further
lower the grade. BY stacking wheat,
BIN poN"iesiuk ~ W ~ CuTOukH tu0
sweat, in the stack, this fuzz dries or
disappears, and the smut ball also har-
uens and shrinks 80 that when it goes
through the thresher 1t does not crush
but slips through like any other foul
seed and can be readily got rid Of by the
ordinary cleaning process. Where wheat
is threshed from the shock, and the
smut ball is crushed and ditfuset
throughout the entire mass, the price il
lowered all the way from five to >twent,
cents per bushel. 1t is the greatest foil,
therefore, for farmers to attempt to hur
ry wheat threshing. They not only los
lots OF money by doing 80, but the ger
eral standard OF wheat is badly lowered

DO FISHES TALK!
Here Is Testimony From q Man VINE
Thinks They Do.

Thinks They DO.
We have heard Of the language OF
monkeys, and of the language of hens,
and of the language of crows, and even
of ants, but it will be "a new idea to
most people, probably, that fishes have
a language of their own. An English
fisherman, Mr.. Basil Field. has been
making some Investigations that lead
him to suppose that fishes have some
way OF communicating a notion of their
experiences to other fishes.
Mr.. Field carried on his experiments
in the fishponds Of Mr.. Andrew, at
Guilford, England. Those ponds are full
OF trout, which. at the time when Mr..
Field first visited them. We're so little
accustomed to being troubled that when
he threw a baited hook into the water
all the trout in sight-a great number
rushed eagerly upon it. He caught
one, and removing it from the hook,
threw it back into the pond.
Then he put in a freshly baited hook.
and only two or three trout came after
it. One of these he caught and threw
DdCh lllO tie water. again He TeSuIleu
his fishing with a newly baited hook,
and this time, although the pond was
swarming with fish, it was only after a
long tine that he lured another trout tC
his bait. And after a little further
time it was entirely impossible to catch
n trout in this pond.
However, by experimenting in anoth,
or pond equally we'll stocked and not
throwing back any fish Mr.. Field found
that he could catch trout as long as he
chose. The fish did not seem to under
stand that the removal of one of their
number by this strange means meant
danger to them, but came continually
to the bait.
If, Mr.. Field reasons, it is only when
the captured fish, released, goes back
and mingles with his fellows that the
danger is learned, and then is learned
instantly, it must follow that the re.
leased fish has some means of making
the others understand tho perils Of the
hook. This, whatever it is, may be
called Language. "-Fortnightly Re.

TALKING UP TO HIS LEVEL,

Buffalo Express: There ia q young
woman over on the West Side who has
been in society but a portion of season.
The other evening she was at q function
and che was introduced to young man
who has had some success in literature.
The bud atood more or less in awe Of
him after she learned who he was. The
literary young man was much impressed
with the beauty of the bud and he
aeked permission to cali. This was
given him. The next day the bud got
to thinking over the junction and re-
membered the request OF the young
man.
She went to girl friend and said to
her: II met Mr.. L. at the ball the
other night and he asked me il he could

tory or some such thing. Filled with.

"Awfully not, isn't it?"
She thought that it Was.
There was some moie conversation In
this original esrain, when he suddenly
launched out like this: "What q de.

ing, wasn't It? l don't know when l
have enjoyed myself more. Everything
was perfect. There WAS NO crush. Just
enough were there to make 1t epjeya-

refreshments superb. Really, shall
often think of that ball a. ono Of the
most charming have ever had the
pleasure of attending in Buffalo. I
think that"
During these remarks the bud had
wiggled about nervously on her chair.
She WAS on the point Of interrupting
half dozen times, and could refrain no
longer. With fierce little laugh she
broke in: ''Oh, yes. bat wasn't that
sad about Mary, Queen of Scots ?"
The literary man gazed at the bud in
blank amszement. Seeing that be did
not answer her, the bud continued in Z
theatrical manner: They cut of her
head, you know"
The symposium broke up just hels,
and to this day the literary man thinks
the bud crazy. while the bud hasn't an
idea what to think about tho literary
man.
