POPE LEO IS NOT WELL
HE WILL BE UNABLE TO GRANT SEP
ARATE AUDIENCES TO PILGRIMS.
All VIII. However, Get the Benefit of
the Apostolic OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Due to Advice Of Doctors.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-A special dispatch
from Rome says the Pope is suffering from
only cold unaccompanied by fever. but as
a precautionary measure his audiences have
been temporarily suspended.
An officia, note announces that the Pope
will be unable to grant separate audiences TO
the immense number Of pilgrims expected TO
come 20 Rome during the holy year, but he
is anxious not to deprive them of the bene-
fits of the apostolic benediction and will
follow the example Of his predecessors in
similar circumstances and will pronounce a
solemn benediction in the court Of Belvidere
or elsewhere as may be convenient. The ar
rangement which comes into force forthwith
causes varied comment. 1t is supposed the
decision is due to the advice of his physi-
clan. One of the first effects will be that
the Pope will not receive the French pill
grimage that is due here next week. In this
way Cardinal Rampolla. papal secretary of
state, will gain his desire that the Pope
shall not speak publicly on the Dreyfus af-
fair.
Letters received at the papal delegation in
Washington speak of the excellent health
the Pope has been enjoying Of late, his
vistIcus appearance ard the interest he
takes in current affairs. These advices from
the best posted sources within the Vatican
are regarded as offsetting the frequently
repeated reports Of the Pope's decline.

of a prospective nature, the discus.
sion of plans which the board is con.
sidering to make the lola schools
more efficient. The committee on
rules was instructed to draw up an
amendment to the rule fixing the
tuition charged non-resdents in the
high school. Heretofore the fee
charged has been two dollars
month, and the hoard proposes to re-
duce the fee to five dollars term.
Two dollars month meant between
eight and nine dollars term, so that
"a reduction has been made of about
four dollars, There will be an abund-
ance Of room for some time in the

uncle Paul, President of the Republic,
has refused. The British government
however, has endorsed the demands of

THE TICKET.
THE CONVENTION AND THEFT

In spite of the fact that is an Off
year and that there was no contest at
the primaries to awaken an interest,
the Republican county convention
showed representatives present from
every precinct in the county and was
marked by good humor, unity of
sentiment and an enthusiasm that
was pleasant to see. Practically
every candidate was nominated by
acclamatiOn, for while votes were east
for Lutte Stover for surveyor and DR..
Jewell for Coroner these gentlemen
were not candidates and did not de-
sire the nomination, and there was
therefore no contest of any kind to
arouse i'll feeling The cheers that
greeted the reading of the platform
and the warmth of the greeting to the
candidates, particularly to the candi-
date for Treasurer, were the best evil
dence that the Republicans Of Allen
county are sure Of their ground thi,
year, thoroughly in accord with each
other, and confident of victory.
The ticket is one that cannot be
criticised from any point of view.
1t is headed by = lady who probably
knows personally nine-tenths of the
taxpayers of ALel county and who
is known by every one of them to be
thoroughly qualified by her eight
years service as deputy to perform
the duties of the Office and who is as
much admired personally as she is
officially. The candidate for County
Clerk is an old soldier and AN old resi-
dent of the county whose first term
has proven his worth as an official.
The candidate for Sheriff represents
the younger element of the party. and
has also made a record during one
term that the party could not but cor
daily endorse. The candidate for
Register of Deeds has proven himself
one of the most conscientious and
painstaking officials A lien county ever
had. The candidate for Surveyor is
also an old soldier, a resident of the
county since its organization, and with
the exception of four years as Repre-
sentative, has held the Office of Sur
veyor for more years than most people
remember. The candidate for Coroner
is a comparative stranger outside of
lola, but he came here so well recon-
mended and has borne himself so well
since coming here, that this city has
no hesitation in vouching for him. The
candidate for Commissioner has lived
in or near this county for forty years,
has had large and successful business
experience, and has the enthusiastic
support of the neighbors who know
him best
The ticket is well balanced geo
graphically, it is made up of those
whose ability and character have both
been tested, and it was nominated
without division. Who can doubt its
triumphant election?
