The day began without new develop

by the Hamln men. The rules of the
national house were made the rules OF
the convention. All resolutions We're

reports OF various congressional eau
cuses. When the report of the caucuses
had been submitted the convention re-
cessed until five o'clock.

who resigned his office few days
since and pleaded guilty to the charge
Of adultery, in the district court. was
today sentenced by Judge Burnham to
two years at hard labor in the peni-

only commendable thing he had done
was to plead guilty. and thus save the
county from the bad results which such
trials always bring.
