COURT HOUSE CLOCKS co WRONG

The recent hot spell has evidently af-
fected the clocks in the Court House and
they have been acting in a very repre-
hensible manner of late. This morning
the timepiece in the front room declared
that it was twenty minutes after nine
O'Clock, while that in the rear court room
as positively maintained that it was ten
minutes to ten o'clock, whereas the cor
rect railroad time was twenty-five minutes
to ten O clock.
Both Of these clocks are run by cleo
tricity and are popularity supposed to be
on the same circuit and to receive their
inspiration from the same source.

is one outcome of the big mass meeting
of Orientals last Saturday night.
At a meeting at the rooms of the

and appointments came from the idea
that the Government had the power TO
change them at will. He was sure that
the Executive was as certain of the po-
sition the Executive Council had TAX
en- as the Council of State felt 1t was
entirely wrong. The establishment of
the Claims Court was to provide a
Court by special act to have jurisdic-
ton over claims of tort. The general
principles of law. he asserted. would
govern in the adjudication of the
claims.
The Court of Claims. in his opinion
and that of the Executive Council. was
for the purpose of aseertaining the le-
gal liability of the Government This
was his first and last contention.
Don't accuse us of doing anything
wrong. We have done what We con-
slider is right. We have as warm
hearts in our bodies as you have" he
said. we have gone to the extreme
limit of our authority. and we have
done all that We thought could be done
under the circumstances"
Questions came from various men,
bers, but the Attorney General warded
them of by saying he was not prepared
to pass his opinion off-handed on points
of law.

BOOM FOR DAVID B. HILL.
The New Yorker Spoken of as a
Democratic Candidate for the
Vice Presidency.

Frankfort, KY, June 2O.-The nom
inatiOn of Gov. Roosevelt for the vice
presidency by the republicans lessons
the chances of the nomination of any
western man by the democrats at
Kansas City, in the opinion of demo-
cratic leaders in this state Last week
it was said a majority of the delegates
from this state favored Benjamin f.
Shively, of Indiana, but there is con-
siderable division of sentiment now,
and among some of the leaders there
is a strong disposition to go to the
east for a running mate for Mr.
Bryan.
Judge w. S. Pryor. who is one of
the eight delegates named from the
state at large, came out for David
Bennett Hill, and the New Yorker is
said TO have other supporters in the
delegation. 1t is conceded that Shive-
~ is the personal choice of a MAORI
ty OF the delegates, and if the vote
or any part of it goes to Hill, Van
Wyck or any other eastern man, as
seems probable, it will be on the idea

of DR.. Kinyoun, the government
quarantine officer at San Francisco,
in declaring a quarantine against citi-

street early Tuesday and resulted in
a conhagratiOn which wiped out near
~ one-half of the business portion of
bloomington, including the finest
business buildings and heaviest stocks

the Immediate vicinity of the court
house square were destroyed. The
courthouse is a ruin. Its walls are

THE CENSUS.
II VIII Be Two Weeks Before the
Result OF the EnumeratOrs' work
viii Be Made Known.

Washington, June 19.-Direetor
Merriam, of the census bureau, said
Monday that the results of the work
of the enumerators could not be
known for at least two weeks, and it
might be a month before the first
bulletin is issued. He stated positive
" that the cyAly news in regard to the
count would be made public through
bulletins issued at the census Office.
The enumerators are strictly forbid
den by law to give out information
of any kind in regard TO their work,
and if they violate this law they will
be heavily fined. The director said
that in view of this condition any
figures presented as the work of the
enumerators other than those con-
tanned in the bulletins of the census
office would b mere speculation and
could be of no value. The count of
the population in the large cities is
practically completed, and about 49,,
600 enumeration districts have been
reported as finished. The number of
cards received from enumerators up
to date is about $4,000. 1t will re-
quire at least five days to check up
the work of the enumerators in order
to ascertain the payments due them.
This will be done in the various cities.
When this is finished the cards will
be forwarded to Washington, where
the actual tabulation of returns will
be begun. 1t is probable that Wash
whose population will be announced
and following this probably Will come
Cincinnati. Director Merriam said
Monday that the work was progress
ing very satisfactorily.
