Hon. Lewis MoQuown, of Bowling

present fight IS the administr ation

McQuown, from reports from III Of
the 1879 county and Legislative district
meetings, carried all save ave of the
counties in the first five congressional
districts besides at least twelve large
counties east of Louisville, with the
preferences of quite number of other
central and eastern counties, yet an
unknown quantity. The five counties
which Mr.. McQuown seems to have
lost in Western Kentucky have Q total
Of 40 votes. Taking these 45 from the
total of the 674 in the first Eve congress
sional districts, would leave Mr.. Nc
Quown with $50 votes just IS short
Of enough, in the first five districts
alone. In addition. Mr.. McQuown
carried Central and in Eastern Ken

100 votes. This does not take into
consideration many. counties the

sary to q choice. Mr.. McQuown
seems to have Gao votes assured, with
quite q number Of counties to'hear
from.
As result victory for the Beckham
forces, the managers of that side de-
oide to place Governor Beckham for
ward % their candidate for temporary
chairman Of the state convention
Wednesday. claiming to have private
advices showing about 500 votes with
them ont Of the total Of Liza.
The returns show an overwhelming
sentiment for Parker for president,
although there, were comparatively
few instructions, and it seemed to be
clearly indicated that Parker delega tes
would be selected to the national con-
vention from each of the eleven dis
triots. Two counties in the Second dis
trict and three In the Fourth instruct.
ed for Hearst.
Many counties instructed for Gov
ernor Beokham and Senators Black
burn and McOreary for delegates ct
large, and their election by the state
convention seems to be . foregone
conclusion.
The Beckham. McQuown forces have
undoubtedly secured control OF the
First district, Second district, Third
district, Fourth district, Fifth district
and Sixth district. The Blackburn
MoOreary- Kehoe forces have secured
control Of the Seventh, Eighth and
Ninth districts. Each side seems to
have strength In the Tenth and
Eleventh tdistriots, and each claims
that it will control there.
One of the interesting and exoi ting
backgrounds was the Seventh con-
gressional district, the home district
OF Senator Blackburn, in which Mr..
McQuown seems to have carried the
counties of franklin, Bourbon and
Henry, with total of SO votes.
The l04 Louisville delegates are
unanimous for McQuown for state
chairman and for Parker for presi-
dent and with Governor Beckham In
his plans for the convention.

EVILS or EATING ALONE.
The Digestion Of a Solitary Diner Is
Always at q Disad-
vantage.


There are some few happily dis
posed individuals, says the Lon
don Lancet, who can dine alone
and not eat too fast, nor too much.
nor too little. With the majority
it is different.
The average man puts his novel
or his paper before him and thinks
that he will lcngthen out the meal
with due dcliberation by reading a
little with, and more between, the
courses. He will just employ his
mind enough to help, and too little
to interfere with indigestion. In
fact, he will provide that gentle
mental accomplishment which
with happier people conversation
gives to a meal. This is your soil.
tary's excellent idea. In reality
he become engrossed in what he
is reading till, suddenly, finding
his food cold, he demolishes il in
a few mouthfuls; or else he finds
that he is hungry, and paying no
attention to the book, which he
filings aside, he rushes through his
food as fast as possible, to plunge
into his arm chair and literature
afterward. In either case the
lonely man must digest n a disad.
vantage. For due and easy nutri.
ton, food should be slowly taken
and the mind should not be In.
tensely excited during the process.
Every one knows that violent
bodily exercise is bad just after a
meal, and mental eYertion IL
equally so. Wise people do not
even argue during or just after
dinner, and observation OF after.
dinner speakers neither endure
themselves nor excite In their
hearers any severe intellectual ef-
fort. In fact, the experience OF
countless generations, from the
red Indian OF the woods to the
white-shirted diners OF n modern
party, has perpetuated the lesson
that a man should not eat alone,
nor think much at this time, but
should talk and be talked TO while
he feeds. Most people do not think
much when they talk, and talking
is a natural accompaniment OF eat,
ing and drinking. How does IL
fare with the many solitary
women OF today No better we
know than with the men, but dif.

BUYING RUBlEs IN BURMA.

The peculiar business methods

full sunlight alone can bring out
the color and brilliancy of the
gems. Sales must therefore take

says the Jewellers Weekly.
The purchaser, placed near a
window, has before him Il large
copper plate, The sellers come to
him one by one, and each empties
upon this plate his little bag of
bies. The purchaser proceeds TO

kew York County's Novel Plan to Inn

Somehow or other Oneida county.

is she active through her Oneida Coun-
ty League For Good Roads and through
her board Of supervisors. whose resolu.

ments and state road improvements
are without doubt the strongest reso-
lutions In the state on these matters,
but the highway commissioners OF the
county are not found wanting In their
appreciation of the Importance OF road
Improvement Recently. on notice given,
they gathered together ut Clinton, the
home Of Ellhu Root, and held the first
highway commissioners convention
ever held In the county and possibly
ever held In the state.
The temperature was below zero the
roads were blocked. and yet Of the
twenty-elght highway commissioners
four-ffths were present. The meeting
was held on the lines OF the old fash
loned town meeting. The commission.
er OF each town reported whether his
town was under the labor or the mon
ey system, the character OF the work
done and his plans for the following
year. and then came brand new sug.

The county OF Oneida has 2,320 miles
Of road, and there are fifty mail car,
rlers whose routes are twenty miles
each, which are Travelled every day.
and these mail carriers are actually

commissioners appealed TO the mail
carriers TO prepare and send to them
daily reports showing where road work
was needed and also reports showing
TINT the roads were In good condition.
Road work Is expensive, and ON the
