OHIO REPUBLICANS
ARE TO MEET TO-DAY.
Everything Is Not to BE So Har-
mOniOus in the Convention.


mOniOus in the Convention.
Columbus, o., June 2.-The indica-
tions tonight are that the Republican
state convention here tomorrow and
Thursday will not be such harmonious
ratification meeting as was expected.
While there will be no opposition to
the Endorsement of President Roose-
Welt, Senator Hanna and others, and no
oilIerence on national issues, there are
dlfferences of opinion on state ques-
lions, and very animated contests for
places on the state ticket, except for
Governor, auditor of state. attorney
general and member of the board of
public works.
Senators Hanna and Foraker and
other Republican leaders arrived this

hours, and later conferred with others.
Myron I. Herrick, Senator Foraker.
chairman Dick and others, including
the candidates, held receptions in adj
joining rooms, anXiously awaiting
word from the Hanna-Cox conference.
Both Hanna and Cox state that they
were discussing the proposed consti-
tutlonal amendments. Certain circum-
stances have given general credence to
the report that Senator Hanna will not
take much part in naming the state
ticket. and that MIR. Cox will be the
most potential factor in the nominal
tions.
it is conceded that Senator Hanna
has already named the head of the
state ticket, Myron r. Herrick, who
will be nominated on Thursday for
Governor without opposition. With
such Difference to Senator Hanna S

insisted that he would not interfere
in the contests for minor places

Judge VIII Announce To-day
Whether He viii BE Admitted.
Raleigh, N. c., June 2.-Argument
was concluded in the Haywood Skin
rer habeas corpus case to-day. At it's
conclusion Associate Justice Robert M.
Douglass announced that the decision
would be rendered at noon tomorrow.
The view of the prosecution was pre-
scented by Senator John E. Woodward
of Wilson and Acting Solicitor Daniel
of Weldon. The contention of the
prosecution is that Skinner was seen
by Haywood TO leave the postoffice and
was about to step off the sidewalk
when he was shot at by Haywood; that
as Skinner moved on he turned his left
side to Haywood. who then fired the
fatal second shot. They deny any al
tercation or that the first shot killed
Skinner.
Col. T. M. Argo closed for the defense
and made a powerful plea for bail, cit
ing both law and facts.
Haywood was cheerful and smiling
when the court adjourned He and his
lawyers confidently expect bail to be
allowed

MASQUERADING FRUITS
Nuts and Seeds That Resemble in Form
Certain Animals and Insects.

Of fruits that resemble animals, the
buffalo-headed nut, trapa bicornis OF
China, is perhaps the most astonishing.
Nothing Is more curious than its re-
sem 1lance to a buffalo-head, horns,
eyes md nose.
1t an aquatic plant, with dissected
submerged leaves and tuft of aerial
edible kernel, and species in Cashmere
is staple food. One species has been
naturalized in our Concord river.
These nuts are also known as water
caltrops, in allusion to the spiked balls,
formerly used to impede cavalry. The
initiative shape has no supposable use,
except as the horns may hinder animals
from swallowing 1t.
Some seeds resemble insects. Thus,
the husk Of biserrula pelecinus suggests
a caterpillar or a centipede; the seed
of the castor-oil plant beetle, and,
still more, a jatropha would easily be
mistaken for beetle, showing thorax
and two elytra with their lines of or
namentation.
A low leguminous plant of the Med
1terranean region, scorpiurus subvil-
1osa, has pod that resembles a worm
OF serpent more than scorpions tail,
which is the meaning of the generic
name; but In scorpiurus vermicullata
the likeness to caterpillar is so strik-
Ing that the pods are sometimes laid
upon salads to test the nerves of guests;
the latter is called the caterpillar plant.

tion of less than 10000, the board of
education must appoint at least one
truant officer whose duty it shall be
to see that the law is obeyed, and
also fix his compensation.
The law provides that any parent
who refuses to send his child to
school, according to the above, shall
be liable to fine of from So to $50 for
each offense. However, such parent
may prove his child incorrigible. in
which case the parent may be dis
missed and the child proceeded
against and on conviction of incor-
rigibility may be committed to the
proper state institution or to some
approved institution conducted by
some association of the same religious
faith as the parent.
The law not only affects the parent
and the child, but every truant officer
who fails to perform his duty within
Is days after receiving notice of a
truancy shall be liable to a forfeiture
of from $40 to $40. to be paid to the
witness complaining of such neglect.

GOOD COMPULSORY SCHOOL

MESSAGE ROUND THE WORLD
Time Spent and Cost of TeIegraphing
Two Words Forty Thou
sand Miles,

A Paris correspondent of Nature
writes: July the Temps resolved to
send message round the world by
telegraphy, using the Anglo-French sys-
tenn of transoceanic cables. The mes
sage was sent from Paris at II a. N.
and consisted Of the two words Temps,
Paris with the indication Of the route,
via Malta, Alden, Singapore, Brisbane,
Vancouver and French Atlantic cable.
AS the indication of the route is not
paid for, the cost Of the experiment was
only s3.28. No previous explanation or
preliminary notice had been served to
the several companies, but the organiza-
ton OF the Anglo-French system is SO
perfect that the message arrived at the
Temps Office at $50 p. m The time
spent had been six hours for travelling
about 10000 miles, measure of the
commercial speed Of electricity on the
occasion of the Inauguration of the

POTATOES A GREAT CROP.
Value of the Tubers Exceeds That of
Any Other Single Product
of the Farm,

The opinion generally prevails that
wheat or corn--in some regions one and
In others the other-constitute the crop
of greatest value to the world. Such
is not the fact. The potato leads all
other staples, being produced at the rate
of 4,000,0O0,000 bushels a year, while
the wheat yield is only $500, 100000.
Europe produces seven-eighths Of the
worlds potatoes, but 1t Is little Ireland
which eats most Of them, averaging four
pounds of potatoes day per capita. The
United States is on record as the greatest
meat-eating country in the world, H.
00O,000,Oc0 pounds yearly being con-
sumed here. There are Psychologists who
ascribe to this her power on land and
sea. Johnny Bull has the sweetest tooth
among the worlds children, heading the
list of sugar consumers at yearly rate
of 5000 100000 pounds of sugar. Of to-
bacco, however, the average in Belgium
is ITO ounces per capita, in the United
States only 8 ounces. But in the mat
ter Of beer the United States again takes
the lead, showing a record of 80 gallons
a year for each inhabitant, distancing
even Germany herself.

The timber dam from the lower end

The steel roof truSseS are here and
men have begun erecting them,
Cross walls in the wheel pit are
now being built and the bulkhead
wall for the power house is under
way.
There have been some changes in
the plans of constructing the dam
since they were published in the
SEMI-WEEKLY REPORTER few weeks
ago. The original plan called for a
timber dam from the upper end of
Rocky island where it makes a turn
toward the east bank of the river.
This part of the dam and sluice ways
will now be of stone construction.
