SPLIT IN COMMITTEE
CoNTENDING FACTIONS UNABLE
TO ELECT SECRETARY.
Five Voted For Loofbourow and Five
For Eldredge and Chairman Eich-
nor Refused to Cast the Deciding
vote-Gentile Members Against
Mormons and Arthur Pratt.


The Republican city committee OPEN
ed its Lannan campaign with big
row. Opposing factions locked horns
over the election OF secretary of the
committee and after a bitter contest the
fight was declared a draw. Being I'M
able to elect a secretary Mr.. Loofbou-
row viii continue to act.
Dennis c. Eichnor, who has one
party defeat chalked up against him,
was reelected chairmaa Without dis
sent When it came TO eiecting a sec
rotary there was a split. Five votes
were cast for Fred c. Loofbourow and
an equal number for Joseph W. Ed
redge, jr., and Chairman Eichnor de-
! clined to break the deadlock,
Balloting for secretary was preceded
by turning the scroll Of "Peace, Har-
mony and Victory" to the wall. Then
/ the fight commenced, the Gentle mem
! bers of the committee rallying to
Loofbourow's support and the Mormon
element, Joined by Arthur Pratt array
! ing themselves on the side of 'Jodey'
| Eldredge. Several ballots were taken
without changing the result
Dennis Kept Out.
Dennis was pleaded with to cast the
deciding vote but he refused. Some
! OIle dShSU OSUlKAS WHERE HIS SdiiQ We
! but the chairman, it is said, answered
his brother Hannaites that he never
! possessed that quality. The fact is
| Chairman Eichnor WAS between two
| fires He thinks well of "Jodey," who
did the heavy clerical work fer the
! committee last year. but he shrank
/ from voting for Loofbourow, fearing
! that his favoritism for the acting Sec
rotary would give offense to 'Jodey's'
friends.
Loofbourow's supporters were A. F.
Lawson, Sam Westerieid, W. r. Hut
/ Crimson, J. e. Dooly and A. A. Robert
son. who held Joe Ccttle's proxy. Ar
| thur Pratt, W. p. Appleby, J. r. Open
shaw, T. A. Callister and f. II. Calls
/ ter voted for Eldredge. e. II. Callister
was his proxy.
Discordant Elements.
Arthur Pratt was factor in the con-
] test. He opposed Loofbourow because
A. Astute Robertson was favorable to
Frederick. Pratt detests Robertson,
whose latest offense was his activity
in the fight against Harmed Pratt in
! the Hanna convention. Another mat
ter that tended to widen the split was
Robertson's opposition to Albert Rel
ser's candidacy for city auditor in the
| city convention Friday. Anything that
! Robertson desires is bound to be re-
sisted by Pratt and the Callisters.
When the sentry let the committee
men out of their star chamber and the
Tesule Of the proceedings was an
nounced, the gang and the candidates
/ engaged in a lot of rebellious talk be-
cause things had not gene right. The
election of Loofbourow would have
| pleased the majority, but fate willed a
! hopeless breach in the party's. commit
! tee on the first dash.
The campaign is short and unless a
secretary agreeable to b9th factions is
chosen Fred Loofbourow will continue
| to act as a holdover in the position he
has cred1tably filled the past month or
! two.

Electric Railway In the Far East.

There is a great difference in the at
titude of the different natives towards
the electric railway In the Far East.
In Seoul, Corea, there has been a troll
ley road in operation for about year,
and though it Is not now interefered
with my the natives, they at first were
very suspicious of it as to its effect
upon natural phenomena, such as
lightning, drought, etc., and at one
time tore up the tracks and burned the
cars. The greater intelligence of the
natives in the cities of India has made
the introduction Of electric power
much simpler. In Madras there is a
trolley railway operating twenty-six
motor-cars on three miles of double
and six miles Of single track. The rails
weigh sixty pounds per yard, and are
laid to one meter gauge. All the ma
chinery for the central station, as well
as the cars and trolley line, were fur
nlshed by English manufacturers

Fishes That Talk.

Fish that can utter sounds are not so
rare as the old established belief in
their dumbness would have it.
The drum-fish Is one of the few fishes
whose sounds are heard while they are
in the water. The late Spencer f.
Baird of the Smithsonian Institution
made some interesting experiments
with them, and in a report described
the strange sounds that came up from
the bottom. He had the impression
that the fish were directly on the bot
tom of the vessel and were in some
way striking it; but this was found to
be a mistake. The fish were in
school some feet below the surface,
and were in all probability making the
sounds by striking their pharyngeal
teeth together. The sounds produced
by these fish have often had a singular
effect upon superstitious seamen, who
saw omens in the weird noises.
The great Australian lung-fsh, so
called because when underwater 1t
breathes by its gills and when out by
Its air bladder, utters sounds that have
length of six or eight feet, has a sim
gular habit Of leaving the water at
times and crawling over the marshy
ground, at this time uttering a singular
barking sound Of such peculiar reson-
ance that at night 1t can be heard a
long distance; sound very much like
that Of the California drum-fish. The
loudest sound uttered by fish comes
from a small dog-fish, or shark, on the
New England coast. The fishermen
haul them in by the dozeE, and as
each fish comes out of the water 1t ut
tiers loud croak, and keeps 1t up as
though in great agony.

Prayer Cure In Kentucky.

Miss Celia Williams, the twenty
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Enoch Williams, of near Forest
Springs, has been confined to her room
for over two years and for many
months to her bed. Her physicians
had given up all hope of her recovery.
A few days ago she exerted every
power within her and rolled off the
bed to her knees, praying God to heal
her Affections and restore her to
health. Then the thought came to
her of a neighbor family she hated bit
terly. She got up, walked to the neigh
boris home barefooted, and made
apologies for her Ill feelings against
them. After this she walked over the
neighborhood distance of three or
four miles, and there was not a mark
or scratch on her feet when she re-
turned home. She claims to be divinely
healed and to be entirely cured of all
ailments. Although she had not taken
step for months and had to have her
feet placed on sheepslxin on account
OF their tenderness, she walks on them
now without pain. Miss Williams Is
now going about wherever she pleases
and suffers no pain at all.-Scottsyille
(Ky) Reflector.

They sought the real hero there.
The big bass drummer caught their
eye,
who stepped witr such martial air,
They raised their shouts In wei
coming glee,
But found, alas, 1t wasn't he.
"He's further forwardv' then they
cried.
The grand drum major there they
found
With great fur hat and naughty stride
And baton weighing many pound.
They cheered him straight In ac-
cents free,
But found, alas, 1t wasn't he.
And when the mighty train had
passed,
They looked about in blank dismay,
And murmured, as their hearts beat
fast,
''Perhaps he isn't here to-day!
Though many a figure proud we
see,
We always find it isn't he!'
And then the wise policeman spake:
''Did you not note the gentle mien
OF one whose modest manners make
The touch of contrast in the scene;
The man who didn't seem to be
Filled with importance? That was
he"

Water Inside a Pebble.

A remarkable pebble, says the Phil
adelphia Record, which was picked up
somewhere in Egypt that land of dark
mysteries, is in the possession of a
well-known lapidist on Twelfth street,
near Walnut. The stone is translucent,
and at casual glance looks like an
ordinary seashore pebble. 1t is about
half the size of walnut and oval
in shape. When the stone is held to
the light it's remarkable popularity is
beheld. Inside Is n drop of water that
circles about the interior. How it ever
got there Is n mystery that nature
alone could solve. The surface Of the
stone is perfect, but there is no doubt
of the hollow interior. The pebble is
only interesting as n curiosity, but
many wealthy institutions have Offer
cd good round sums of money for it.
The owner, however, will never let it
get out Of his possession, as it was
given to him by an old sailor friend,
who was drowned several years ago.
