VERY FUNNY.
Bottles of Rye and BOur-
bon Hid under Beds.

Jefferson City, Mo-, July 49,
A party Of 20 Jefferson City society
women, headed by Mrs. Sam B.
Cook, caused a stampede on the
parlor floor of the Madison Hotel
To-day.
On this floor are the head
quarters Of nearly all the caudi-
dates.
The visit of the society ladies
was unexpected, and coming as
they did unannounced, no attempt
had been made to hide the liquid
refreshments, which are much in
evidence in all the rooms, save the
parlOr occupied by Folk.
Bottles of rye and bourbon were
hastily thrown under beds, showed
in bureau drawers and washstands
and concealed under bed covers.
The ladies remained at head
quarters about 20 minutes, during
which time the statesmen sweated
vigorously aud waited with i'm
patience the departure of the fair
politicians.
One of the statesmen thought it
was exceedingly unwise to hide the
booze.

The LeaVen Is Working Over
at Jeff City.

Jefferson City, Mo-, July lO.-A
secret meeting ofdelegates who are
instructed to vote for the nOmin-
alton of Sam b, Cook for secretary
of State, but who are antagonistic
to him, was held after the recess of
the convention to-day.
1t was stated last night that the
meeting to-day would be attended
by $50 delegates, and that Mr.. Cook
would be invited to be present and
would be asked to relieve them of
their instructions.
At the last moment, however,
it was decided to change the tao
ties, and only fifty instructed del
egates, representing twenty coun-
ties comprised the meeting. Cook
was not invited.
The purpose of this change, it
was stated, was to permit of thoro
organization for the opposition to
Cook.
A committee was appointed to
arrange a plan for a systematic
opposition to Cook, which is to be
Immediately perfected.
Then the fifty instructed dele
egates will be assembled, according
to the plan, together with 100 other
instructed delegates, who oppose
Cooks nomination, aud Cook will
then be asked to permit them all
to withdraw from his support.
If he refuses. it is stated, there
will be a bolt and a bitter fight
against him on the floor of the
convention.
It is confidently believed that af-
ter the nomination of Mr.. Folk, a
recess win be taken when the
fight against Cook will receive
fresh impetus of a startling ma
ture. Owing to the undoubted
Folk control of the convention,
this is one Of the dangerous feat

Cook.
