ly permitting the speaker to complete
sentence without interruption, and
putting to each the crucial test Of
thinking on his feet amid circum-
stances and conditions more or less dis
tresslng and confusing to even such
bright minds as those of William Allen
White and Thomas Allen McNeal.
Mrs. Bailey, who had charge and the
management of the entire dinner, the
decorations and the accessories, and
made the cake, the governor being a
mere figurehead, came into the room
as the last of the numerous forks and
spoons had served their purpose and
been removed from the cloth.
Governor Bailey was in particularly
good humor as he gave hearty welcome
to the happy gathering of friends
about him.
Mr.. Davidson filed his position as
POSTMASTER with grace and tact He
spoke of the cordial feeling which had
existed between the club and the gov
erncr since the latter's advent into the
state house and Topeka circles. In
closing he referred to the light on po-
htfcal and social subjects which it had
been the pleasure of the club to cast
before Governor Bailey'S footsteps in
civil and state affairs, and remarking
that the governor evidently needed
something of a permanent nature in
this respect said the club took pleasure
in presenting to him and Mrs. Bailey

casions. The governor has been anxious
for a long time to return the compli-
ment, and has now done so in a most
handsome and highly entertaining man
ner.
There were twenty-three covers The
tables were set in the double parIors.
The decorations were simple, but charm
ing and effective. Two strands of
smilax extended from the corners of
either end of the table to the chandeliers,
and We're suspended between them. A
peculiarly interesting and highly COL
ored vine, with an unmanageable name,
masSed in the center of the table
with it's brilliant hues gave a beauti-
full effect on the white linen. Two mann
moth glass vases displayed sprays of
begonia.
Governor Bailey presided as host at
the head of the table and w. M. David
son, the president of the club, at the
other end acted as POSTMASTER.

How the Names Will Appear on Re-

At noon today the annual political lot
terry for places on the ticket at the Re-
publican city primaries took place at the
office of Election Commissioner T. S.
Williams. The names of all candidates
for office for which there is any compe-
tition were put into hat and then drawn
out The men got places on the ticket
in the order in which their names were
drawn. The result of the drawing was
as follows:

would be a curiosity indeed; but,
figuratively speaking, that's what a
rented house is. because the renter
and the house are liable to part
company any day at the option of
the owner. The Shawnee Building
and Loan Association has two plans
whereby renters may become own
ers, if they have the ambition to
do SO. One plan is how to save, the
other how to buy. Fifteen dollars
month rent amounts to $500 in ten
years, and nothing but rent receipts
to show for the investment. Call at
lis West Sixth street and ask Mr..
Eastman to explain both plans.

Pittsburg Post: Although the Russo
Japanese war is not a month old its
effects in increasing the cost of living
in the United States already are being
felt by the masses. The prices of nearly
all the necessities of life have gone up,
with the prospect Of going much higher
before they reach a steady level In
reality there is no legitimate cause for
the general rise at so early a period in
the far eastern war, and it goes without
saying that if nearly all the great staples
of American production were not now
controlled either directly or indirectly
by the trusts the rise in prices to the
consumer would not be at the present
time weighing down heavily upon the
earning capacity of the people who
work for wages. AS there is no hkeli-
hood of a corresponding upward move
ment in the wage scale, the business
and commercial benefits" which the war
in the Orient was, we were told, going to
confer on the United States are now ap-
parent.

MR.. BERRY RESIGNS.
Secretary of City Railway Company
Goes to Chicago

T. w. Berry, secretary of the Topeka
Railway company, has resigned his po-
sition and will leave soon for Chicago,
where he will engage in other business.
Mr. Berry and his family will leave
Topeka permanently. They formerly
made their home in Chicago. During
his connection with the street car COM
pany and his residence here, which has
extended back about a year, Mr.. Berry
has made many friends who will regret
his departure. His successor in the Of
fee of the street railway company has
not been announced.

many stray votes. Wolf, Myers and Gil
1ette are the favored candidates for coun-
ell, while Mallory and Hardy get the pre-
ferred position, next to pure reading mat
ter, for councilman.
There is likely to be hot fight made
on Mallory in the Second ward. Some of
the people in that ward have a personal
grievance against him and are trying to
beat him on that account. Mallory is one
of the most active men in the ward and
has made a good record in the board of
education the past two years.

An Office Is DAMAGED.

Col Hughes office on Fifth. near the
Santa F'e depot, was badly wrecked by
the wind Wednesday night. There had
been erected above the front of the Of
flee a high board wall, for use as an
advertising board. On the board was
painted a car of coal. The strong north
wind tore this off. and with it about
half of the front of the office building
itself. The building is being repaired
today. The damage was about $50.

PETITION is SHORT.
Not All East Eighth Avenue Is In
Guided,

1t has been determined by the city en-
gineer that the petition for paving eight
blocks East Eighth avenue is short
499 feet of property and can not be grant
ed by the city council until the deficien-
cy is made up. 1t is likely that this will
be done.
The petition for pavement on Taylor
street between Tenth and Huntoon is also
short over 100 feet and will have to be
reconstructed before it will be legal. The
law requires that the petition shall have
the signatures of a majority of the feet
of land fronting on the proposed improve
ment.
The trouble with the petitions seems to
be that some of the names appearing
the petition as owners of land are not
so recognized in the county records.

BREAK OF FOUR CENTS.
May Wheat Takes Another
Tumble at Chicago.

Chicago, March 3.-WholesaIe dump
ing of May wheat by tired holders
caused a break of four cents in the
price of that delivery today. Just be-
fore the close the price had fallen to
96s4c as against $1.00A earlier in the
day. The heavy selling was due to the
conviction in the minds of many trad
ers that the Armour interests had final
ly disposed of all holdings of wheat
for that delivery. Coarse grains and
provisions shared in the general hqui-
dalton.

The Mills Road Outing To-Day.

The train which leaves the Union
depot at two o'clock each Sunday af-
ternoon for Fuquay Springs and
Chalybeate Springs and Ellington,
continues to carry large numbers of
people glad of an opportunity to
breathe the fresh pure pine-scented
air and drink the health giving
waters of the springs. No one long
resident in Raleigh or in this section
of the State needs to be told of the
marvellous curative properties of
Fuquay Springs water, and few need
to be told of how pleasant are these
Sunday afternoon outings made pos
sible by the management of the Raj
eigh and Cape Fear. Many now re-
gard them as a necessity, and they
will continue until the end of the
heated term.
