mary Election.
Special to the Register
MARIETTA, o., August 25.-The
Republican primaries held throughout
Washington county tonight to choose
delegates to the county convention
were the most bitterly contested ever
held here. The factional lines were
rigidly drawn and the results in this
county so far as heard from indicate
defeat for the ring. headed by J. r.
Rose, revolutionizing the county ma
chinery with all the staunch friends
of the new Daugherty contingent oc-
cupying prominent positions.
At the opening of the polls in the
Second ward, Charles Pape, a prospec
tive candidate for sheriff, from that
ward was knocked down with a piece
OF gas pipe in the hands Of the present
Republican sheriff, John S, McCallis-
ter, who is chairman of the Republican
Executive Committee and the manager
OF the Rose-Van Voorhis forces. Pape
was badly hurt with a cash four inches
long in his head and the doctors state
that If the blow had been. an inch
higher it would have killed him. The
trouble caused Pape to receive a much
larger vote than he otherwise would
have secured

Happenings.

The charges against M. F. Dryden,
took on a more sensational tinge yes
terday, and as a result he is in Jail
awaiting an examination as to his
sanity.
Mr.. Dryden created a disturbance at
his home on the Island Friday night
and was placed under arrest, as stated
in the Register yesterday. When Po-
lice Court convened he was to have
been arraigned on two charges, name
ly, wife beating and disorderly con-
duct. Before the case was called, how
ever, Mrs. Dryden, at whose instance
the arrest was made by Officer Everett,
decided not to prosecute him in the
criminal action, but instead followed
the advice of some friends and swore
out a warrant before Justice w. W.
Rodgers, charging him with being in
sane. Mr.. Dryden was taken to the
county jail to await an examination as
to his sanity, Which will be made this
week
Mr.. Dryden was once a clergyman
and pastor Of one OF the most promi-
mont churches in the city. After leav-
ing the ministry he engaged in the
study OF law and was admitted to prac-
tice. He has been a practitioner for
several years. Mrs. Dryden alleges
that her husbands abuse has extended
over a period of eleven years, but that
1t has been worse than usual during
recent months. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Dryden was arrested some
months ago for shooting at a member
Of his household.

DRAWING 70 A Finish
Ks THE SUMMER BOWLING TOUR
NAMENT IN THE MOZART
LEAGUE.
NO MORE CHANGES LIKELY
In che Relative standing of the Clubs
in the Race-Thc Work of Teams
and Individuals During the Past
Week Reviewed $50 Schedule for
Coming Week.


The result of last weeks bowling In
the summer tournament places the
teams in the positions in which they
are likely to finish.
BY winning two games from the
Rough Riders the Carroll Club Cyclers
have secured a "hale-Nelson" on first
place that will probably land them on
top. The games were not particularly
interesting, as in the first two the
Cyclers put up crack-a-jack scores,
, never allowing the Buffalos to come
within striking distance. But in the
last game the Weitzells fell down and
Capt. Reid's boys got home first.
Weitzell's 500 was high for both
teams, and he was closely followed by
Browne and Handlan with 564 each.
Capt. Reid and White, with $50 and
525 respectively, were high for the
Rough Riders.
The Korn Robbers made ducks and
brakes" of the aspirations of "Picket's
Pets" They deliver upper cuts, left
hooks, short jabs and cork screws I'M
til the poor Georges were only name.
The Kobs continued their splendid
high average work, making a total of
3,140 pins in the three games, thus
materially increasing their lead over
the Cyclers for high average prize. 1t
is hard battle for this trophy, with
the odds favoring the Farmers"
Only four weeks remain for the Cy-
clers to catch the fast flying Kobs,
and it is apparently an impossibility,
but Weitzell's boys are going after
them with all the energy and tenaclty
OF new telephone solicitor.
Tuesdays games between Osceola
and Benwood was simply another
verse of Just a Little Bit OF the
Top" The club that is holding up the
list-by being at the bottom of it
ran into pack OF Indians out for a
frolic. And the hospitable aborigines
invited the girls from Center to play a
few lines of ''ye ancient game of
bowls" The result was three for the
Indians and none for the candidate. "
Chief Williams crowd was a trifie
speedy for the Columbias, who are,
however, speedily taking on quite a
professional air, and some day will have
sweet revenge no doubt.
One of the most interesting meetings
of the week was that of the All Alike
and Benwood clubs.
These teams are fighting it out hard
for first honors in the last series race,
and so far Benwood is a little to the
good. AS to strength the clubs are
very evenly matched, making it hard
guess to pick the winner, but last
Tuesday Benwood was in fine fettle,
while the All Alike team were little
to the sand paper. The result was
that Lander's lads took the odd game
and were consequently very jubilant,
while Arndt's men were rather blue.
Three good contests are on for this
week, as will be seen from the sched-
ule;
Monday-K. K K VS.. Osceolas; w
B. r. r. VS.. Beawood.
Tuesday-Henry George VS.. Column

JerroId,n VII.

The English have been accused for
SO long OF dullness In their humor that
several stories related of the eminent
wit Douglas Jerrold may not be out
or place as showing that the charge r.
sometimes untrue. 1t appears that as
a dinner one gentleman who had been
eating a dish OF sleeps head with
great gusto exclaimed as he laid down
his knife and fork. Sleeps head for
ever, say I!' There's egotism," said
Jerrold.
Sometimes. through q joke, Jerrold
conveyed good advice or q word OF
warning. He was enjoying q drive one
day with n jovial spendthrift behind q
pair OF grays. "Well, what do you
think OF my graysT' asked his impecu-
NOUS friend. ITO tell you the truth, :"
replied Jerrold, Il was thinking more
of your duns."
