NO AGREEMENT REACHED
Situation the Same as at The Close Of the
Convention Saturday Night.
COEBEL SEEMS TO HAVE HAD ADVANTAGE
He Controls His Followers Absolute.
Iy and Can Vote Them soiidiy for
for Himself or Anyone Else.


Louisville. Ky, June 25.--Up TO late
hour tonight there is no sign OF an agree
mont between any two OF the democratic
candidates for governor and II seems like
ly that tho first ballot taken when the
state convention meets tomorrow morning
will result Just as did the eleventh on
Saturday night Candidates and their man
ayers have been on the go all day, out OF
one conference into another. but So far
to no purpose. The 1902 delegates In the
convention are divided so nearly even that
there is not difference OF 30 votes In
the strength OF the three candidates, Stone,
Gcebel and Hardin. But OF these Goebel
is the strongest because OF the solidity Of
his support. He controls his following
absolutely and .,au vote them for himself
or throw them to either of bis opponents
at will Neither stone nor Hardin can do
this and for that reason neither is in a
position to make advantageous terms.
There has been break In the stone-
Gcehel combine since balloting begun,
caused primarily by the action of Goebel's
managers in voting the seventy votes OF
Louisville solidly for the Kenton county
leader on the first ballot The Stone pso-
lie say their understanding was that the
ste was to be divided equally between
1or and Goebel. but the latter, it is said,
rod~ced written agreement covering the
ION bnation of tho two forces up to temp
,rary organization. but containing no men,

grined MS the Stone people are at the
failure of the combination promptly to
effect the nomination OF their candidate,
It Is not believed they can in spirit of
revenge bring about the nomination Of
Hardin They threatened to try this when
Goebel showed such surprising strength
Oh the first ballot and went so far as to
start stampede. but Goebels nerve and
ooolness checked It. On the other hand
the Hardin people cannot throw their
strength solldly for stcne. for they are d.

as was the case yesterday, when many
would 80 to Goebel in case of break.
A noteworthy feature OF the contest Is

forty pounds is the record for an AZ
rican lion. His bone is solid and as

fnE DAILY OAHERA


Springfield (Ill.) Special TO the Chi
cago Chronicle: The old saying that
unusual occurrences come in groups of
three was strikingly illustrated in
Sangamon county recently. The wife
Of William Barry of this city gave
birth to twin boys. Mr.. Barry re-
manned at his home long enough to
get glimpse of his two sons. and
then drove to his farm, a short dis
lance north of this city. He went to
his stables and found that a reliable
family mare had that morning foaled
two healthy colts. both of which are
males. From the stable he repaired
to the barn lot and there he was con-
fronted by mich COW with two new
born bull calves at her side. The
babies, the colts and the calves are all
lusty young fellows and promise 70

To remove discolorations from lamp
burners, rub with brush dipped into
acetic acid, wash in soapy water and
rub with dry cloth. Trim wicks just
above the lower line OF charred portion
and clip the corners slightly with scis-
sors. This will give you truer flame
than from wiping or scraping the wick.
Never fill the lamps full; leave a small
space for expansion and to prevent the
oil from flowing over the outside of
the lamp. To avoid an unpleasant
odor when the lamp is lighted always
turn the wicks down well after trim
ming, SO that the oil will not rise to
the top and spread to the outer sides
of the burners.
