The report was adopted as whole
and on motion the convention pro-
ceeded to the nomination of candidates
for the various county offices, the first
bellot for each to be informal.
For Representative.
The first office was that Of representa-
tive. A delegate from Center township
moved that the rules be suspended and
Geo. w. Baker, of Leon, be nominated
by reclamation. The point was raised
that there were other candidates and
the chair ruled the roll should be called
on the informal ballot. There were
three active candidates, Geo. w. Baker,
Of Leon; q. Z. Arnold, of Garden
Grove; and a. Nj. Pryor, of Leon. The
nomination was captured by Geo. w.
Baker, of Leon, on the first formal bal
lot, the result of the ballots being as
follows:

Third Formal Ballot.

The nomination of Mr.. Young was
made unanimous and he was called to
the platform. lie made very neat
little speech i'll accepting the nomina-
ton, stating he would use all honorable
means to be elected, and if elected
would discharge the duties of the office
to the best of his ability, and no one
will question his ability, and very few
his election.
For Sheriff.
There was likewise a spirited but
friendly fight for the nomination for
sheriff. the names of eight good men
being presented to the convention from
which to make selection, as follows:
Thomas Wallace, of Leon; A. ]. Jones,
of Leon; w. M. Hamilton, of Davis
City; Joseph Mullen, of Burrell; Alex.
Bedler. of Richland; ALI Deck, of Deea-
tur; John Lawrence, of Fayette, and S.

Now let every good democrat in De.
catur county pull of his coat and go to
work for the entire ticket and it will be
elected =
There were no soreheads among the
defeated candidates and every one OF
them will be found heartily supporting
the entire ticket.
} MIR. ] j. Barr, Of Lamont, made a
SPLENDID race for treasurer and came
! very near winning. He is one of the
best democrats Ia the county ana Will
be remembered in the future.
1t was an unusually harmonious ton.
veEtion: Apparently every delegate
laid aside personal preference and as
sisted in making nominations which
they believed were the strongest men.
A prominent republican of Leon re.
marked after the convention that the
democrats had certainly nominated
good ticket and especially so when COM
pared with the weak ticket of the re-
publicans.
An examination of the ballots will
show there. were no packed delegations,
every delegate voting Tor the man he
believed was the strongest and the can
dldates were nominated by votes from
all over the county.

Third Formal Ballot.

The nomination of MIR. Wallace was
made unanimous, and when he was
called to the stage he thanked the con-
ventlon for the nomination, his modesty
preventing any attempt at making a
speech, but he will show himself to be
hard worker not only for himself, but
the entire ticket
For Superintendent.
For the office Of county superintet
dent there had been no candidates who
had sought the nomination. Prof. JIM.
Howell. OF Davis City, was placed in
nominate On, but he stated he was not a
candidate and under no circumstances
could he accept the nomination, as he
was under contract as principal of the
Davis City schools and would remain
with them. The nomination Of John Il.
Beavers was made on the first ballot,
being practically unanimous, and by a
unanimous vote the informal ballot was
declared formal and Professor Beavers

First Formal Ballot.

On motion the nomination of Mr..
Baker was made unanimous and there
were loud calls for Baker. He was not
in the hall and committee was APP
pointed to go after him. They quickly
returned with him and on mounting the
platform Mr.. Baker thanked the con-
vention for the honor of being nomi-
mated to the highest office in the county
and pledged himself to work faithfully
to be elected and added he believed he
would be.
For Treasurer.
The next office was that of treasurer,
and there was an interesting but good
natured contest There mere no less
than seven candidates for this office, l..
j. Barr. of Lamont; w. II. Goung, OF
Richiand; ] +. Edwards, Of Long Greek;
Harry j. Ncgt, of Leon; j. A, Caster, of
Leon: e. Il. Turner, of Bloomington,

The nomination came rs total sur
prise to Prof. Beavers and he was in
clined to decline, saying he had con-
tracted to teach school and could not
make the kind of canvass he would
like to for the office, but from all over
the hall came cries that his friends
would do the canvassing for him and he
finally allowed the nomination to
stand,

For Surveyor.

For Surveyor.

there were no candidates, the names of

Ed. H. Peck, of Decatur, being suggest

WILL BEGIN UNIQUE TOUR.
The strong Man of Belgium and His ~Ii.I, Friend Will Circle the
 World.

Prompted by love of adventure, two young men, without money or bag gage, started from New York city Monday for trip around the world
 They are Edmond Adler, dark eyed, curly-haired Belgian, and George J. Muller, a clerk in the bu- reau of municipal statist tics.
 Asked how the trip was to be financed, Adler smiled, took penny from his pocket, bent it between his great white teeth like a bit of paper and said:
 I'm recognized as the. champion amateur strong man in Belgium. can twist iron bars, wrestle at any style and spar under any rules.
 Well issue challenges and give ex- hibitions at every stopping place, My friend, Muller, will see to the gate receipts"
 Muller, no less enthusiastic than his friend, explained that the young Bel gian was a simple wonder and that their course around the world would unquestionably be marked by an un- equaled series of blood-curdling ad- ventures.

The baseball season for the Knights of Columbus teams ended yesterday
 with the game between the two crack teams of the Hendricken and Bar celona councils. The Hendricken players won the championship by ad- ministering a good defeat to the Bar celona boys with the score of 70 to l9 It was an unexpected victory, too, fol Barcelona had been strengthened by the addition of several of the best players of the Amateur league and Hendricken was short some of her best players and had to fill ill with members of the order who were on the grounds. Billy Miles was supposed to pitch for the Hendricken council but he had to fill an engagement with the Amateur league and his place was ably filled by Joe Gaffney. who was caught by his brother. George. They proved themselves the best battery in the Knights of Columbus league and in only one inning yesterday did Joe let down in his work and at that if he had received any kind of support Barcelona would not have scored more than five runs. It was nip and tuck until near
 
 hftters got after Jack Egan and they pounded his curves all over the lot. He was also given ragged support at times but in the main the team behind him played pretty fast baseball.
 When the game started off the Gaff- ney brothers were the battery for the Hendricken council while on the bases were Chatfield. Dr Freney and Thomp- son. At short was Frank Becton and in the field were Bauby. Tom Freney and Billy Monaghan. Some of those players had not handled a bali i'll years. For the Barcelona team there were McNellis. the star catcher of the amateur league who took Jack Egan's curves. Jack It one time pitched for the Waterbury State league team. On first was Tom E'Iaherty whom the boys. had dubbed Fred Penney and he play ed his game all right, too. On second was Mike Delaney of the Bridgeport State league team. Third had Scully, another crack player of the Amateur league. At short was Joe Coward. In the field were Jerry Scully, August Coward and John Fitzgerald. This team was considered so good before the game that the betting was ten to two in favor of the BarcelOnas. Before the game had proceeded very far Began, another of the Hendricken players ar- rived and Tom Freney, who only went on to the field to accommodate the boys. retired Hendricken had the warmest rooters on the grounds and they carried the victorious players off the field on their shoulders. The cup which is to be presented to the Hen lricken boys for winning the champion ship is handsome one from the store of F. F. Becton & Co.

 The State league papers are anxious that Hartford shall be represented III the minor league next season. The New Haven Register yesterday print ed a diagram of a, proposed State league circuit with Hartford and Springfield in. The mileage and hotel bills and various routes for the clubs shows that the state is not very large. The article says: ''Although there seems to be d general feeling around the State league circuit that both Springfield and Hartford will be found in the league next year, careful ln- quiry fails to disclose any real solid basis for the belief. It was commonly reported that Dr Frank C. Reisling, the successful manager of Bristol's champion team. would be backed by Hartford men as owner or manager of the Hartford franchise. but Dr Refs ling has authorized Il Register reporter to say that if he plays baseball at all another season it will be as a member of one of the National or American league teams He will not play with Hartford or with Bristol. if that town retains its place in the circuit It is rumOred that Manager Reilly. who has successfully managed two clubs in this circuit. will. at the annual meeting of the league in October. apply for the Hartford franchise This would. in- deed. be good news. for Manager Reilly knows better than any other man in the league what is necessary to give the baseball cranks a satisfac- tory team. He could do a hundred per cent better all around in Hartford than in his own home. and would be sure to make q hit with the baseball public there"

Fhe return of John J. Hemphill to active South Carolina politics is at tracting very widespread attention in tie democratic party. When Tillman rose to power in South Carolina in 1890 MT. Hemphill, who was then the representative in congress of the Fifth congressional district of the state, was one of the victims of the alliance and the reform movement, controlled and led by the senior sena- tor. There is little question that he would have obtained national recogni- tion as party leader.
