HEAVY VOTE.
TOday's Republican Primary Is
Interesting.
Fight Centers on County AttOr-
ney and Representative.
MANY HARD WORKERS.
Polling Places Surrounded by
Ward Heelers.
Results VIII Not Be Known
Until Late.
VIII Probably Take Nearly All
Night to Count the Tickets.

A heavy vote is being polled at the
Republican county primary this after
noon. The ticket is a long one, and as
the polls do not close until, O'Clock
this evening, the count may not be COM
pleted until after midnight, so that
whatever the result may be it is not
likely to be known before Easter morn
ing.
The Nichols forces have an unlimited
supply Of hacks and carriages, showing
conclusively that a determined effort is
being made to force the nomination OF
County Attorney Jetmore's deputy
Galen Nichols Some wagers have been
made as to whether Mr.. DOran or Mr.
Nichols win receive the greater num-
Der of votes, but the betting has been
less active than usual
All candidates seem extremely eau
tious While all claim that they are
sure OF the nominations they or their
friends of sporting proclivitieS have
shown little disposition to back their
judgments with cash.
The interest centers on the fight for
representatives and county attorney
and then on the cOmmisSiOnerShip The
big fight on representative is in the city
district, where A. K. Wilson and Z. D.
McEeever are the candidates. A few
bets were made today on the result of
this contest, the odds being in Nc
Keever's favor.
Dolman stock took a rise today. and
bets were made that he will be nomi-
mated. He has his forces exceedingly
well organized, but is a third termer.
In the Third ward a bogus ticket ap-
peared. One ticket contained the names
Of the Republican caucus nominees;
another list of delegates printed so as
to resemble the original ticket appeared
on the ticket pronounced bogus. How
ever, a large unmber of these tick cts
We're voted by innocent persons before
the trick had been discovered.
The election board at Aliens barn in
Potwin was organized by Spencer sup
porters. Up to noon II votes had been
cast. James A. Troutman voted early
and brought a young man 20 years old
to the polls with him. His vote was al
lowed as ne will be a legal voter at the
coming election.
At the polling place of the west pre-
cinct Of the Fourth ward near Sixth and
Western avenues the board was or
ganized by Spencer men with but a lit
tie opposition from the other contest
ants.
At the polling place of the east pre-
pinct Of the Fourth ward, Rains livery
barn, the heaviest vote in the ward had
been polled up to noon and 1877 ballots
had been cast. The political workers
crowded around the doorway and into
the voting room. The special officer or
duty there did what he could but he was
unable to'handle the crowd. Cap Curtis
was there to challenge those who he
thought belonged to some other thar
the Republican party. Several votes
were sworn IN.
There is more interest at the west

GIVEN THE STREET.
City Council Sets Aside the Necessary
Space For Street Fair.

The city council held a brief session
Friday evening for the purpose Of
granting the Commercial club the right
to use Fifth and Quincy streets, within
certain boundaries, for the street fair
The ordinance was drawn up by City
Attorney Bird at the request Of a Com
mercial club committee, and was passed
with little discussion. Eleven members
of the council were present, and voted
for the ordinance
The provisions of the ordinance set
aside for street fair purposes Fifth
street from Kansas avenue to Monroe
street, and Quincy street from Third
street to a point about 50 feet south
OF Fifth street, The original draft of
the ordinance made Fourth street the
so that the Commercial club can also
use the block between Third and
Fourth if it is desired
The Commercial club is given entire
control of these streets and it is made
a misdemeanor to interfere with the
fair in any way The sale of goods on
. the streets is also forbidden without
the consent of the club. The provision
is put In to protect the club and the
regular exhibitors from fakirs and
others who might attempt to take ad-
vantage of the big crowd the street fair
will bring together, but who want to
dodge paying for concessions. 1t will
also prohibit outside parties from COM
ing into the city, renting vacant ground
in the vicinity of the street fair and
erecting booths in competition with
Kansas exhibitors OF those whom the
Commercial club has sanctioned.
A soap manufacturing firm of Kan
sas City has reserved five booths to
make an exhibit of their products. A
Chicago wholesale druggist firm have
also reserved yesterday by a St Louis
wholesale perfumery company.

KANSAS GRASSES.
Secretary Coburn Issues q Report
About Them.


F. D. Coburn, secretary Of the state
board of agriculture today issued a
quarterly report upon Forage and Fod
ders. The report is devoted to discus
sion of the production, uses and values
of various pasture and fodder plants,
especially those found best suited to the
purposes of Kansas farmers and stock
growers. The report also contains the
papers and discussions of the twenty
ninth annual meeting. Introducing the
document, Mr.. Coburn uses this on the
cover page:
Majestic, fruitful, wondrous plant
The corn triumphant, that with the aid
of man hath made victorious procession
across the tufted plain and laid founda-
ton for the social excellence that is,
and is to be. This glorious plant, trans
muted by the alchemy of God, Sus-
tains the warrior in battle, the poet in
song. and strengthens everywhere the
thousand arms that work the purposes
of life"
This language was used in a public
address by Governor Dick Oglesby of
Illinois
The report has 304 pages, with seventy
five illustrations. The Introductory con-
sists of John J. ingalls, celebrated pro-
duction on grasses
Mr.. Coburn then concludes by saying:
kansas is grass empire
I'm 1uXuriance, profusion, nutritious
qualities, and economy Of production,
hers are nowhere surpassed; this,
whether applied to the corn blue-stem
timothy, clovers and bluegrass of her
eastern half, or sorghums, millets. al
falfa and unpretentious gramas of the
fertile plains and higher attitudes be-
yond. From these her meats and milk
and wealth are made; out of these and
by these her material future and all it
brings of good must largely come"

had stated that it would be but a short

not be necessary for them to shut down

REMEDY DIDN'T FIT DISEASE.
Prsdicamsnt Of N Augusta Girl At q Maine
Summer Resort.

She Was typ cal summer gill OF 1900.
is the story told of an Augusta girl who
has returned from the seashore, and
she had looked lovely all the afternoon
in dimity gown with a lace yoke
When she began to dress for the eve
ming she was Mortified to discover that
the brilliant sunshine in which she had
thoughtlessly wandered had printed
the pattern OF that lace yoke on her
neck and shoulders. AS she wanted to
wear decollete gown that evening
there seemed nothing for it but to use
bleach OF some kind. and lemon juice
proved useless. 1t made the sunburned
shoulders smart awfully, but that was
all. A friend came to her rescue
apparently-at this juncture and sug-
gested remedy to the sobbing girl.
TRY a mild mustard plaster" she
suggested. 1T won't hurt a bit more
than the lemon juice and ii will bleach
anything. Why. when l had almost had
bronchitis last winter, ard when they
blistered my chest, the skin was as
white as anything afterward. 1t looked
just lovely for weeks"
So the plaster was made. the cham
bermaid being leased into securing the
mustard from the kitchen, and the
tattooed girl endured the smart of it
in heroic silence for Is minutes Then
the friend removed it, tenderly, and
both of them shrieked
The plaster had been made too
strong, or had been kept in place too
long. or the white of egg which should
have been mixed with it was missing
or something. The pattern of the lace
yoke had been removed, certainly, but
the work had been done quite
too thoroughly. When the plaster was
removed the skin came off with 1t.
She missed the bah that night 1t was
great disappointment, but now that
she is home again she is telling her ex-
perience to her girl friends.
