PoPULisTs AT SPRINGFIELD.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,. July AL
.ough the date set for the meeting OF
the Populist national convention in
this city is but two days on. very few
of the party leaders or delegates are
on hand. The indications are that the
convention will not be largely attend
ed. While the states of the Middle
West will almost without exception
be represented. the South, formerly
be much in evidence.
Opinions expressed by the delegates
already on the ground show that
great doubt exists as to what action
the convention will take. The call
sets forth the purpose of the conveu.
tion to nominate candidates for presi.
dent and vice president. but ii is not
improbable that this work will be
held over until the Democrats have
made their nominations at st Louis
A certain element of the Populists
would. II is believed, favor an indorse-
ment of Hearst in the event he re.
ceived the Democratic nomination Ii
isn't believed that any other of the
candidates mentioned for the Demo.
cratic nomination would receive the
support OF the Populists.
In the event the Populists decide to
go 1t alone they Will be at "A loss ap-
parently whom to put mp for the head
of the ticket, AS matter OF fact the
party appears to be considerably de.
moralized from having supported the
candidate of another party in two
campaigns. She old.time leaders are

final decay are bound to follow 10 A.

He admits that he has about ton OF
German buttons on hand and expects
that there will be great demand for
them, particularly after the conven-
tion has completed its work. The
wiseacres say BIN" is following a
false tip. He himself says that he or
dered the buttons after he had learn
ed that Mr.. German had bought 500
large and expensive photographs OF
himself for use in st. Louis. BIN
thinks that German. who is thrifty
man. would not waste this money un-

enough for BIN" and he says he is
willing to take the chance. At the

each bearing label containing apart
of quotation. Cards were distributed
among those present. each card contain
ing the last part Of some quotation OF
which the first part was on one of the
labels attached to the gifts. The
students appeared in costume and
Grover Kellar officiated rs Santa Claus
distributing the gifts. Santa took the
articles from the tree one by one, and
read the part of the quotation appended
to each The person who held the card
containing the concluding part of the
quotation secured the gift. This gave
rise TO much merriment. After the tree

SEWERS HER CONNECTION
WITH THE LIBRARY

On Wednesday of the past week Miss
Florence Hays, after service of two
years ~ librarian here, severed her con
nection with the library and departed
for her home at Oshkosh. The library
board has filled the vacancy by the ap-
pointment of Miss Agnes Peterson, a
Manitowoc lady, who served as first
assistant librarian under Miss Hays.
Miss Hays resignation is very generally
regretted, but was rendered necessary
by the fact that insufficient funds were
at the disposal of the library board In
order that the efficient service of the
library may be continued The William
Rahr Sons company recently made u
liberal contribution to that institution
but, unless additional contributions are
made by others, the institution will
have to be managed largely with
reference to economy.
Later. AT a meeting held this week
the library board decided to continue,
for the present, the old schedule of
hours regarding the opening and closing
of the library. This was rendered
possible because of the gift above
mentioned.

At the poultry show recently held at
Chicago two Manitowoc fanciers, Wal
ter O. Bahr and Fred Borcherdt ,Jr, Sc.
cured total of seven awards on twelve
birds exhibited The total number of
birds on exhibition was 1900 The birds
exhibited by Mr. Bahr took one first
and one third premium and the
Borcherdt exhibit secured one first
prize, two thirds, one fourth and one
fifth, making a total of five awards.
Most of the prizes are ribbons prettily
lettered with the record of the locality
given and containing the name of the
Chicago show beautifully engrossed
Seven awards on an exhibit of twelve
birds is certainly an excellent showing,
and the two local fanciers have every
reason to feel encouraged over their
success at the Chicago exhibition. The
same twelve birds will be exhibited at
the Milwaukee show.
