The County Inflrmary.

TO the Editor OF the NEW DOMINION:
1t does not appear that the County
Court is doing any reformation" act
in regard to this institution. II the
people of Cassville want the institu-
tion there is no reason why they
should not have it, as the main thing
is to get good farm, and thus reduce
the expenses OF keeping the poor,
and at the same time keep them
much better. understand there are
some good farms about Cassville, and
railway to that place would remedy
what is now serious objection, its
inaccessibility during half the year |
am told that the poor of Marion coun-
ty really cost the county nothing last
year, and by selling the coal under
the farm they have been able to build
separate houses for many of the poor.
In Preston the poor cost the county
about SO cents week and with us
$1.35. In Preston they are fed about
the same as the family Of thrifty
farmer. They raise potatoes, wheat,
turnips, apples, beans, corn and buck
wheat and enough meat to last the
year so that the so cents the county
pays goes for groceries and wearing
apparel.
The poor get interested in the farm
work and by giving them patch to
cultivate for themselves, they can
raise melons and such things enough
to keep themselves in tobacco.
Respectfully,
r. M. G.. BROWN.

was not greatly in excess of the av-

THERE have been lots OF social
events the last few days. From now

lot more OF them. People here will
enjoy themselves as they 60 along.
PROFESSOR A. L. Wade and DR.. S.

morrow night, three hundred card
pictures Of the proposed new church
and parsonage for preservation.
THE ladies of the Episcopal church
had charge of the refreshments at
the military ball ON Friday evening.
They served these in a very nice
manner and this helped the affair
very much.
On every hand is heard express
sions OF delight at the good order
maintained all day and last night.
The crowd could not have acted
nicer. There was very little drink

seen to be at all under the influence
THE county court of Preston coun-
ty does not seem TO think that eoun-

contract of remodelling the jail to

the work is to be completed within
80 days.
VERY little is heard in reference
to the vote that is to be taken Mon
day On the question of issuing $780,
900 bonds for completing the sewer

some other improvement. There
seems to be no opposition to the
move and there should not be. 1t
is question of the health Of a large
number of our people and there
should be no hesitation about it.

Handsome new Structure De-
voted to Future use.

Speech Making Marked Early Part O
Evening and Grand Military Bal
Concluded the observation-disclosures
d0us Attendance at the Ball Which
was Most Brilliant one.
There have been military balls here
before but none Of them in point OF
brilliancY ever equalled the one held
or Friday evening on the occasion OF
the dedication Of the new Armory at
the University.
Nearly four hundred tickets were
sold to the affair yet the floor was not
uncomfortably crowded when they
had all gotten into the building and
the dance was ia full swing.
The decorations were elaborate and
beautiful consisting Of college and
University national coIOrs, with sa-
bres, guns, mortars and other war
decorations. Several designs Ia cleo
trio lights added to the brilliancy to
the scene.
A force OF cadets were on duty at
all times during the evening and gave
a military flavor to everything 10 con-
nection with the ball. Gov. White
and party were distinguished guests
at the affair and at one stage .'Gov.
White special" was danced by the
dancers.
The ladies of the Episcopal church
furnished the refreshments. Lunch
was served shortly after midnight.
The last strains of music did not die
away until day break this morning.
The costumes were unusually elab-
crate and beautiful. The scene was
at all times a spirited one and the
striking dresses worn by many Of the
visitors added to this.
Toerges orchestra Of Pttsburg fur
nished the music and they made a
most favorable impression. Appro-
pirate bugle calls were given during
the evening from the balcony
The ball followed the dedication of
the armory which had begun at seven
thirty. At that time the Governor
and party entered the parade ground.
Their arrival was greeted by salute
of II guns from the cadet battery.
The governor made short address
at this event. Regent D. G. Gala
her representing the board of regents
delivered brief address. Major J.
M. Burns accepted the keys to the
building in few well chosen words
and Frank P. Corbin representing the
cadet alumni made short talk.
A great many people gathered to
witness these ceremonies and hear the
speeches. They enjoyed them very
much. This part of the program was
soon concluded. The military ball
began at niue thirty on a shot being

PRESIDENCY LOOMS
AHEAD OF JOHNSON.
Significant conference of Cleveland
Mayor With w. j. Bryan at Chi

~JVh HAsA We OA al Nv NAh-
cagO.
CHICAGO, May Probably w. j.
Bryan's Commoner will mention May
or Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland as an
availab BILE and choice Presidential can
didate for the Democracy ia 1904
That is the inference politicians draw
Of the conference which was held be-
tween the two today at breakfast at
the Auditorium Hotel.
The breakfast was early--it lasted
from o'clock until 8, when Mr..
johnson accompanied Mr.. Bryan to
the railway station to catch a train
for Nebraska. Mr. johnson remained
here until tonight.
Mr.. Johnson admitted he came by
appointment to meet Mr.. Bryan. He
looked smiling and well satisfied,
though he refused to be interviewed
upon the subject or result Of the con
ference and could not be induced to
say word upon national politics.
Shrewd political observers think
Mr.. johnson chose the psychological
moment to urge his candidacy upon
the Nebraskan's attention They ar
que the twice-defeated candidate may
dread the increasing influence Of the
Cleveland old line Democrats and feel
that to combat them needs the NAM
ing Of an attractive candidate and
strong personality.
