ambitious leaders, fearing there
might be some doubt as TO their

convention, required two-thirds of
the votes to be cast for man before
he was given the nomination.
Nothing less than majority IS
required, 1t is required in State
conventions. Yet, under the pri-
airy plan, a man may secure dele
cation to a nominating convention
by polling only third of the votes
cast. In other words, be may have
received only 1000 votes out of
5000 cast and yet secure by this
e.fiflh the nomination. For ex-
ample, say that Tom gets 1000 votes,
Dick gets 500 votes, Harry gets 500
votes, James gets 999 votes, and
John gets 500 votes. Tom has not
received majority or even fourth
of the votes cast Now underth
rule of the party, Tom is permitted
to select his delegates to the con-

A particular feature OF the ex-
hibit of the business conditions OF
the country, which In large meas
ure refutes the claims made In some
quarters that the scarcity OF cattle
was the cause of the rise In the
price of beef, is found in report
lust Issued by the treasury bureau
of statistics. 1t has been iterated
and reiterated In explanation of the
advance In the cost of beef at first
hands that the farmers held their
corn for a fancy price which they
presumed was In sight, and that
therefore there were not as many
first class beef cattle on the market
as formerly, but the latest report
on internal commerce, compiled by
the bureau of statistics shows no
substantial loss In the receipts OF
live stock at FIVE of the great wes-
tern markets for the first third OF
the present year. In April alone
was there diminution, yet for that
month the receipts were higher
than they were In 1880 The COM
parison shows that for the first four
months of this year 1o,o76.S73 head
of cattle were received at the FIVE
western markets referred to,
compared with 10, 1o6,4o5 head
In 1901, little more than
30, 600 difference, and o,735,324
head tor the corresponding period
of 1900. April receipts at these
markets were, as stated, lower than
In April, 1901. but considerably
higher than those of April 1900.
Continuing, the report states
that the receipts of calves exceeded
the arrivals in the same period OF
the two preceding years, but hogs
and sheep both fell below the
figures of 1909 and 1901: At Chi
cago the demand for live stock for
city use and consumption for the
month of April shows shrinkage
of S per cent In all kinds of stock;
but tor the four months ending
with April there was an increase
of II 90 per cent over the require
ments of 1901. April receipts at
this point, however, fell off 3.232
car loads compared with those of
April last year. For the four
months ending with April, receipts
gained 3,oIo car loads. The con-
traction in numbers during April Is
noticeable also at Kansas City and
St. Louis In both receipts and ship
ments, while at Omaha and St.
Jooeph the first and third of the
year shows a gain In receipts and
shipments.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1902-10-29

Many a housewife who thinks she
knows the best way to eradicate
grease spots, the most common of all
stains finds that within few weeks
after treatment the garment has an
unsightly ring where the spot was.
This was due to the fact that when the
stain was rubbed and the grease loos-
ened, it, lacking an absorbent, spread
itself into the surrounding fabric. This
is the right way to remove a grease
spot: Take benzine, gasoline, turpen-
tine or, best of all, ether, and moisten
a large ring around the grease spot,
gradually working toward the center.
When this is reached, Immediately sat
urate two pieces of blotting paper with
the spirit, place one beneath and the
other on top and press with a weight.
By this means the grease will be alb
sorbed as soon as dissolved.
