One Of the most beautiful uses to
which wood-fiber has been put is the
manufacture of artificial flowers. They
are new thing in town, and are only
to be had at one shop that makes a
business Of selling novelties when they
are novelties. Thus far the only flow
ers made of, this material are pink
roses, violets and white and purple
lilacs, with the necessary leaves. The
violets are made in Philadelphia and
sell for 81 a bunch, while the other
blooms" come from Japan, the roses
selling for 81 each. The imitation is
remarkably close, both in color, form
and texture.

Springfield, May 1.-THE conference
to break the deadlock in the republican
state convention seeming fruitless, the
delegates today faced the prospect OF
further stubborn balloting. J. II. Ne
vile, of the Yates campaign committee,
said no agreement between Yates and
any of the candidates had been reached,
but If the balloting failed to produce re-
suits before o'clock this afternoon
further efforts would be made to get
the candidates together. The outlook
today was that unless Yates should be
beaten by a combination to which both
Lowden and Deneen We're parties the
deadlock would continue indefinitely.
During one of the conferences the gov
ernor is said to have made the state
ment that as he had more votes than
any other candidate he ought to be the
last one that could be expected to
withdraw, and that rather than yield
an inch he would let the convention adj
journ sine die or take a, forty day re-
cess.
In the Yates camp today there were
Iintimations that the governor might ex-
ecute coup today.
The opening of the convention was
without demonstration of any conse-
Quence. The Yates delegates marched
to the hall in body, band leading
the procession. Each delegate wore on
his hat legend reading You Are the
Eternal Stayers." The first letters were
in large type, spelling Yates" Imme-
diately after the convention met the

most any other man. Il have been in

the convention will ever adopt any
platform that is not in harmony with
the platforms of the last three repub-
lican state conventions"
Senator Allison Is on hand as bright
and cheerful as ever. He was asked
late last night what the platform would
contain.
Il don't know" he said. Il am not
engaged in making the platform this
year, and haven't seen platform. I

Mukden is now the receiving center

significant feature of the situation is
the demeanor OF the Chinese popula-

how the fighting hundred miles away
