j. w. Dowell moved to amend
by adding all State officers" for
the words governor, secretary Of
State and circuit Judge" The mo-
ton was seconded by w. II. Ken
nan.
At this juncture Secretary of
State s. b. Cook asked permission
to address the committee. Said
that he had always wanted primar-
les for State offices if they were
held all over the State. But this
year, so far, the counties having
State candidates have instructed
for Governor and their home can
didate. He wanted nothing unfair
of Democracy of Audrain, but urg-
ed that it could be seen what
disadvantage he would be placed
under, as a candidate, should Au-
drain vote on all State candidates
AL State candidates who would
not carry the county would be
against me.
j. w. Dowell then arose and
withdrew his motion, his second,
Mr.. KEENAN,, consenting. Mr..
Whitney's resolution was then
unanimously adopted as read.
Then followed a lengthy discus
sion on a motion favoring modify
ing the former rules adopted, so as
to make it more liberal in admit
ting voters to to the primary. Those
who supported the ticket in the
last national or State election and
who will agree to support the tick
ct in the coming November elec-
ton will be permitted to vote in
in tn eprimary.

A HANGING.
Is That What Audrain COun-
ty Is to Have?

We take the following from the
Louisiana Press-Journal, of
Pike county:
The remains of Mrs. Elijah
Scott, the colored womad who was
murdered by her husband at Lad
donia, Monday evening arrived
here at 3:40p. III. Wednesday ac'
,conpanied by the father and moth
er of the deceased, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ike Hobbs.
The interment of the body will
take place at cemetery near
where the woman was reared.
Scott, the murderer, who is
now in Jail at Mexico, was born
and reared near Edgewood, this
county, where his mother still re-
sides on a small farm of her own,
The family was always well
thought of by the citizens of that
neighborhood, and they always
conducted themselves as good citi-
zens should.
Elijah Scott, the murderer, how
ever, was always regarded as hav-
ing an uncomfortable temper, and
was known to be insanely jealous
of his wife to whom he had only
been married one year. Sometime
last summer he had some
trouble with his wife's brother and
was shot althO not badly hurt. DR..
Crewdson of this city extracted the
bullet.
Scott's folks advised him to
leave his wife some time ago be-
cause of the fact that they could
not live happily together but this
he refused to do.

A dispatch from Butte, Mon
tana, says that c. E. Henderson, a
Methodist minister 60 years old,
who lost his pulpit in Salt Lake
City a year ago on account of his
age, recently went to Butte with
his wife and two children. Since
then he has been unable to get a
call as a pastor. He has eked out
only a scant living for himself and
family. He has worked on the
streets and washed dishes at the
hotels, but he could not supply his
wants. One day last week he call
ed at the city employment agency,
where he had for year been a
daily caller, and announced that
he was going to Los Angeles. He
had a prosperous appearance and
said he had suffered from want
long enough. He had turned gam
bier and fortune had smiled upon
him. II would have committed a
crime to save my family from hun
GER" said the old preacher, Il be-
lieve it was God that put into my
head to try my luck at roulette. l
played my last dollar on the red
and won. doubled and won again,
played them all. Providence re-
mained with me and lifted me from
the quagmire of despair. Every
day for two weeks, l have contin-
ued in luck. To-day l have 81, 500
in my pocket and we are going to
California to start life all over
again."

GIVES UP.
Harry Halves Not in 1t for
Further Contest.

st. Louis, April 29.-Harry B.
Hawes, Ed Buffers candidate for
governor, issued a statement to-
day explaining his failure to make
a showing in the gubernatorial
race and announcing that he had
abandoned the attempt to carry
any more counties. The statement
is given out as his Withdrawal
from the Democratic gubernatorial
race outside of the city of St.
Louis" Mr.. Hawes says he will
go into the State convention with
his Ia delegates; that he will not
help Mr.. Folk to get the nomina-
ion but will support him after he
is nominated.
Mr.. Hawes' future attitude in
the gubernatorial contest is ex-
planned as follows:
1t is my intention to have my
name presented to the state con-
vention and expect to receive the
votes of the delegates from my
own city. l should be untrue to
my convictions if 1 should with
draw from the race at the present
time, and even by influence lend
assistance to the candidacy of Mr..
Folk before nomination.

"OLD MOSES.
A Sharp FelIOw"-Knew the
Evils of Divorce.

Kansas City, April 27.-"Di-
vorce and whisky will send any
man to the devil and the peniten-
tiary. They are the twins of our
civilization" Judge Wofford of
the criminal court made this dec
laration to-day while sentencing a
young man to the penitentiary.
Any man who leaves his wife
is no account; any woman who
leaves her husband for any reason
is no account. All separations of
married people are wrong. The di-
vorce laws of Missouri are a dis
grace and a shame to the State. A
man and woman once married,
ought never to separate except for
one reason, that laid down in the
Mosaic law. Old Moses was a
sharp fellow. He was Il wise man.
He knew all about the evils of di-
vorce, any way"

Prof. E. l.. Rogers authorizes
us to say that he will offer two
gold medals each year for eight
years to the successful contestants
for declamatory honors in rooms
Nos. l and , in the Farber school,
says the Farber Forum. Having
given medals for the past two
years, this will make ten years, and
he suggests that at the end of the
ten years there be final contest
in which only the winners of the
past contests are to participate.
This is a very liberal offer on the
part of Prof. Rogers and should
serve to stimulate the pupils of the
school to greater eudeavOr.

Health Day" On that day all
theaters, churches, public halls,

be thoroly disinfected. The idea
is a good one and worthy of adop-
ton generally. Thoro disinfection

The recital at Hardin last Thurs
day night by pupils of Prof. Fich-
tel, Misses Thomas and Parkinson
was we'll attended. The young
ladies without exception acquitted
themselves with credit to them
selves and to the institution. Three
of MexicO's own young ladies took
part. Miss Pearl Carpenter in her
piano selections showed great pro
fiCieney for one so young. Miss
Laura Robertson, perfectly self
possessed aud of good stage pres
euce, favored the audience with
Allitsen's Song of the Dawn. "
Miss Louise Lakeland seems to be
a favorite with the girls and when
she sang Looks and Eyes she
had the admiration of all. Miss
Maize DiekersOn's piano selections
were will executed; her aeeompan-
iments and the grace of resource
full mind won her the heartiest APP
plause.

A Galloway county farmer, Bass
Kimbrel, made an odd discovery
the other day that he was harbor.
ing lambs and foxes under the
same roof without either attempt
ing injury to the other. Mr.. kim
breI had noticed a fox about the
place a good deal lately, but as he
had no gun and had not missed
any of his lambs, he made no ef-
fort to kill it. One day he noticed
Reynard creep into the straw shed,
where he kept his lambs and he
ran to see what the animal was
abont. In a nest in the straw of
which the north wall was built he
found the old fox aud three little
ones comfortably ensconsed. The
lambs had been playing all about
the old fox, but she had never mo-
lested them.
