The Pops met in the court room
and the Dems met in the clerk of the
district courts office
The Democrats asked for county at
torneY and clerk of the district court

dered and received.
The Pops met at o'clock and kept
pounding away till 4 p. m
Z. ID. Wheeler was selected as chair

A II. Cox was slated bv the Demo-
Gratis for county attorney and the
Pops accepted the slate and of course
he was nominated.
For supeIiut endent, A. B. Cooper
nominated Miss Kirby and JEFF Set
ties nominated Mrs J. F. Gunckel-
This called forth little debate as to
the politics of the ladies. Mrs. Gnnckel
was vouched for as Populist by her
sponsor for the nomination, and Miss
kirby's sponsor said she was no doubt
Democrat. Some delegate arose and
wanted to know how a Populist con-
vention could nominate a Democrat,
and Is the Democrats had asked and
received-he, the delegate. thought
they had already received their share
of the pie. Mrs. Gunckel was attack
ed on her politics also because her hus-
band was Republican, but Mr. Set
ties put his friend to sleep on this
proposition by stating that Mrs e.
was PopuIist, no matter what her
husband was. \ vote was taken:
Miss Kirby - %
Mrs. Gunckel - II
l. 5 Myerly was nominated for
clerk of the district court. As the
Democrats had received their share,
as some of the delegates thought. Roy
Blakeley was also nominated, but he
declined to run. The convention at
this point was getting little warm,
and Uncle Josh Musgrave caught the
chairman'S eye and said: Gentlemen
let US have harmony. this is no year
to scrap" The convention took { ncle
Josh at his word and then proceeded
to business in a quiet way.
John Stewart was nominated for
probate judge by reclamation
J. f. Hazen was nominated for COM
missioner by the delegates from Wa
Keeney and Wilcox townships by ac-
clamation.
W. c. Olson resigned aschairman of
the county central committee and E.

Beers Driven From Their Positions at the

y LONDON, March ia dispatch to
the war Office from Lord Roberts dated
Driefontein, March II, says:
t.The enemy opposed us throughout
yesterdays march, and from their init
mate knowledge of the country gave MS
considerable trouble. Owing, however,
to the admirable conduct of the troops
the enemy were unable to prevent us
from reaching our destination. The

the Beers out of two strong positions at

FRANKFORT, KY, March 13-Adju-

here at 10 q. m. and has been in confer

perfected in anticipation of the passage
Of the Triplett resolution in the house,

Queens Order to Irishmen to Wear the
Shamrock Considered an Insult.
DUBLIN, March Is. Miss Anna Par
nell, sister of the late Charles Stewart
Parnell, publishes the following letter:
stSince the queen, whose Irish soldiers
have hitherto been punished if they ven-
tured to sport the shamrock, has now
ordered them to wear it as token Of
their degradation, it seems to me those
Irish who do not wish to be identifiea
with the robber lords of South Africa
should take some notice of this insult 10
their little plant, whose very humble
ness might have protected it from the
queen-enpress. I suggest that thoaa
VINO cannot refrain from wearing the
shamrock, should dip it into the nlk
until the dishonor is wiped out by tie
final triumph Of the Beers, or in some
other way. =

WAS AN ALL DAY FIGHT.

British Found Harder Task Than They
r. Had Expected.
DREIFoNTEIN, March 13.-A11 of yes
terday was occupied in fighting. The
Beers maintained stubborn rear guard
action along running front of twelve
miles on very difficult ground. The
British were advancing in three col
umns. General Tucker, to the south
ward, occupied Petrusberg unopposed-
General Kelly Kenny, after following
the river bank, moved in the direction
of Abrahams haal
At Dreifontein, about eight miles
south of Abrahams kraal, the Beers
were found posted in considerable
strength on the ridges connecting sew
eral kopjes, where they had mounted
guns. The action began at s in the
morning with an artillery duel. Cen
eral French's cavalry and General Por-
ter's brigade ~
Supported Onr Guns. 4 s
The Boer artillery was accurately han
died and the British cavalry found
task harder than they had expected.
General Broadwood, with dogged per-
severance, moved altogether six miles
southwark, trying to find a means TO
get round, but the Beers followed be-
hind rising ground and even attempted
to outfiank him. " S
Meanwhile the Sixth division Of i'm
fantry, advancing ON the Boer left,
slowly forced the enemy to retire. Had
the infantry been able to move faster
the Beers would have been enveloped.
The last shot was fired at 7:30 p. M.
This morning not Boer was to be seen.
The prisoners belonged to President
Ringers own commando.

Reason to Believe Washington
Government Has Offered Its
Services
As Intermediary to Make Known
Great Britain's Terms Of
Peace.
President Kruger Appeals for
Intervention of the Great
Powers.

WAsmNaToN, March 13. There Id
reason to believe the United States gov
ernment is nsing its good Offices to re-
store peace between Great Britain and
the South African Republics. This has
not taken the shape Of an offer Of medi-
alton. That would be distinctly re-
pugnant to Great Britain, and accord
ing to the rule Of International law,
which has without exception governed
/ the state department. IN the past, could
not be volunteered by us until it was
known to be acceptable to both parties
to the war.
But the United States might very
properly serve as an intermediary to
transmit an appeal for peace, and the
terms upon which peace can be secured
The United States successfully served
in this capacity in the past, notably In
the termination Of the China-Japanese
war, and it is believed its good offices
in this line are now being extended
If this belief is well founded, then Adel-
bert Hay, United States consul to Pre-
| toria, has been the instrument for trans
| mitting to the British government
through the double intervention Of the
| department. Of state and Ambassador
Choate, an application from Presidents
Kruger and Steyn to be informed as to
the terms upon which the war can be
ended. The facts in the case viii be
fully developed in day or two.
THE HAGUE, March Is. It is learned
| from a reliable source that President
Kruger, through the consuls at Pretoria,
| has appealed for the Intervention of the
! great powers in the Transyaal war, and
has also appealed to the governments of
Belgium, Holland and Switzerland.

at work. He went to the Santa Fe
shops, worked there, mingled with the
men, visited them in their humble little
homes, simply that he might better

practical comfort. AL this he did with
out ostentation; indeed, no one knew no

WAR SCARE FLATTENED OUT.

y 81 fs
But Leaders of Both Kentucky Factions
III Express Fears.
FRANKFORT, KY, March 13.-The war
scare here has again apparently fiat
tened, though leaders on both sides still
express grave fears as to the ultimate
outcome. Belief among the Republicans
that attempts would be made to arrest
Republican Legislators, in connection
with the assassination Of Governor Goe-
bel has resulted in several members
leaving town. 81. Z. h 3
Democratic officials refuse either to
confirm or deny that such warrants
have been issued, though admitting that
more nor arrests will take place within a
few days. It is asserted that Governor
Taylor is being urged to move the exec
utive offices to London, where he viii
be safe from possible arrest, but that SO
far he has refused to entertain the idea.
Both houses Of the legislature met in
the state house as usual. In anticipa-
ton of a possible attempt by the state
troops to prevent the meeting, quite a
crowd gathered around the State House
square at the hour Of meeting, but the
members Of the legislature were allowed
to meet without molestation. The
squad Of militia, under Lieutenant
Peak, who started for London Saturday,
as an escort for Secretary of State Pow
ers and Captain Davis, have returned
to frankfort. Outside Of this, how
ever, no reinforcements arrived, and it
is stated now that no more are expected.
