nations. The new MILDLY is jefferson Davis
Smith of the third district of Louisiana.
With the democratic primary election
only two days off interest in 1t has, in
measure. been eclipsed by the condition of
affairs in the board of election supervisors.

by a mongrel which he had impOunded. is
still in Baltimore undergoing treatment for
the prevention of rabies. Fisher who was

is safely over the first danger period.

OllOWlng the ORGANIZATION yesterday OF
the board of supervisors appointed by
the governor there came developments
enough today in the neighborhood of the
court house to keep most folks guessing.
The mornings acts and counteracts by the
two factions warning for possession of the
records and appurtenances of the office

Frank Revell, who is contestng the gov

of office, and James p. Bannon were in the
office of the supervisors this morning and

the office. This he evidently thought bet

possession of the office and its records.
The greatest surprise in the develop

ing the morning by some one said by many
to be a prominent politician. AS the old
boards contesting members had the combi-
nation to the safe and could have got into
the office later in the day. it is thought that
the marauder had designs on the registra-
ton books of the county.
Foreseeing a long contest and with their
primary officials unqualified, the republican
party in this city today determined to call
off that party's primary election set for
next Saturday, July 80.
Maj. J. C. Porter of this city and for
number of years connected with the Mary
land National Guard a member of the
1st Infantry has resigned from the service,
and his resignation will be accepted by the
adjutant general. Maj. PorteT's resgna-
ton was due TO his inability to give to the
military duties the time he felt he should
