DESKS AXE ALL RIGHT.
SUPT. HATFIELD SAYS THEY
ONLY NEEDED ADJUSTMENT.

Superintendent O. B. Hatfield, of
the local public schools, stated this
morning that the report that the desks
in the seventh grade rooms. High
school building, were too small is err
roneous as the reporter evidently mis-.
understood the explanation.
The desks are the latest model of
improved adjustable desks and Super
intendent Of Buildings Fred Hoyer
wanted to adjust the desks to the size
Of the pupils and when the pupils were
seated, the desks of course were not
adjusted right, some being too small.
Mr.. Hoyer, however, soon had them
all properly adjusted and the pupils
are more than pleased with them.
They are the best and finest desks pos
sible to procure according to the su.
perintendent.

BRYAN Is SNUBBED
Will Not be Allowed to Speak
in Kentucky.
The Machine Does Not Want to Offend
the Gold Bugs ct Lou
isville.
MANY BRYAN MEN INDIGNANT

Louisville, KY, Oct. 16-The DEM
ocratio campaign committee in this
state has established . quarantine
against Mr.. william Jennings Bryan,
and will prevent him from speaking
in any part Of the state. All invita-
tions to Mr.. Bryan to speak in Ken.
lucky have been recalled.
Mr.. Bryan was booked to speak in
Louisville next Monday and to make
other speeches at different points in
the state. 1t was decided, however,
that Mr.. Bryan's speaking here would
seriously hamper the party by repell-
ing various gold bug Democrats, who
were considering returning to the PAR
ty in order to assist in reorgani zation.
Strenuous efforts were Immediately
made to sidesrack Mr.. Bryan, and f.
nally the Democratic committee in
duced the Democrats Of Woodsfield,
O., to invite Mr.. Bryan to speak there
on Monday. A delicate message was
sent to Mr.. Bryan that no objection
would be made in the event he chose
TO accept the Ohio invitation over his
Kentucky engagement. An unofficial
message is also understood to have
been sent to Mr.. Bryan urging him to
20 to Ohio and not to speak in Ken
lucky, end he. Of course, determined
to do so.
The slight to Mr.. Bryan is consider
ed nothing less than an open insult by
his friends in Kentucky, while it is
not believed that it will do the party
any real good with the mass Of the
Gold Democrats. Il will be remem-
bered that Mr.. James p. Edwards
speaking at the Democratic convention
which nominated q. @. McChord for
railroad commissioner In this district,
deplored pushing free silver to the
front, because he said il would hurt
the feelings of some of the gold bugs
in Louisville. The free silver plank
went through, however, and now the
whole situation is mixed by the pres
ent studied affront to Mr.. Bryan.
The recent move by the campaign
committee is conclusive proof that ev-
erytbing in the present campaign is to
be sacrificed to the needs Of the gang
in Louisville.
| In conversations with state Demo
Gratis the Louisville gang claims that
they are still free silver men, but that
they do not want Mr.. Bryan about,
and will not have him. That the state
campaign committee has bowed to the
dictation Of the Louisville bosses and
driven Mr.. Bryan away, has caused
widespread comment, and there IL
much dissatisfaction at Democratic
headquarters.
1t is announced that Governor Beck
ham will speak in Louisville, but that
he has been kept away so far Is q rea.
son for oongratulation at the city hall,
and If he can possibly be kept away
entirely it will be done, just as Mr.
Bryan has been invited not to speak in
Kentucky.

county commissioners of Morris county
have been in session for a week. After
carefully considering the situation they

Morris county feels able to handle the

suffered to a greater degree.
