QUICK WORK PROBABLE.
Kentucky Republicans Likely to COM
piete Their Convention in

LEXINGTON, KY, July 9.-The Repub-
lican state convention, which meets here
next Wednesday, may be record breaker
for quick work, The Democratic state con-
vention at Louisville two weeks ago broke
the record otherwise, being in session an
entire week. Three candidates for the
Democratic nomination for governor-Goe-
bel, Stone and Hardin-went into the con-
vention, each having about one-third the
delegates.
There are also three candidates for the
Republican nomination for goyernor-Tay-
lor. Stone and Pratt Attorney General
Taylor claims that about two-thirds OF the
delegates are instructed for him. His
friends claim that the delegates for Colonel
Stone and Judge Pratt cannot affect the
vote for Taylor by any combination be-
tween themselves or even with candidates
for the minor places.
Colonel Stone and Judge Pratt are eX-
pected here tomorrow and their friends
promise some surprise, but the present IN:
dicatiops are that the Taylor men. will
organize the convention and be able to
carry through what Is known as the Tay-
ior slate" Taylor is called the national adj
ministration man, while Governor Bradley
and other state administration men are
considered as favoring some other man
If the results of the county conventions are
ratified, the convention here this week will

Gold as Currency.

Washington Letter.
Since the gold reserve has reached its
enormous proportions and the banks force
their customers to accept part payment in
the yellow metal. 1t is common sight to
see persons going about the city with
thousands of dollars OF hard money in
canvas sacks. which are used in handling
gold and silver. At any time during the
business hours white and colored messen-
gers are seen going to and from the banks
sta aggering under the weight of small for
tune. As the sacks are thin, IL Is apparent
to every pedestrian that their contents are
of value. No guard accompanies the mes
sengers, and IL Is not believed they are
armed. AS yet no attempts have been
made to rob them, although the practice of
carrying large amounts of money In this
way is not only risky. but a temptation for
a highwayman to make q rich haul
1t must be said to the credit of the mes
sengers that none of them has absconded.
and no complaints of missing coins have
been made, although the bags are tied with
only an ordinary string Merchants and
others who handle large sums of cash are
nevertheless uneasy. and will be glad when
they can get currency instead of gold,
which can be handled with more safety
and less publicity.

ANOTHER SURPLUS IN SIGHT.

JOPLIN, MO-, July 9.-(Special) All or

Husy Work.
From an Exchange.

A collection embodying examples of the
work of twenty-nine London, England,
schools is one of great interest from sew
eral points of view. Where the names of
the scholars appear on the work the variety
as in any city in the United States, and
shows the cosmopolitan character of the
people of London. These names are Italian,
well as Irish, Scotch and English. The
specific name for the work of these En-

triyed by children aged from years to

Attacks on the Folding Bed.
From the Washington Democrat.

/
Folding beds are always made to look
like what they are not. which is a fraud
and deception to start on, and reminds one
of man who wears paste diamond shirt
studs and 4 plug hat with a sack coat. 1t
is fraudulent all the way through. How
foolish fellow feels to enter u room and
mantel or bookcase and invite you to
sleep on 1t. or in 1t, because you are lucky
if you are not in 1t before morning. And a
fellow never feels sillier than when he gets
up in the morning and puts on his necktie
looking into the mirror on the bottom of
the bed which makes pretense of being
a bookcase.
