 not he admired. For instance. the Birmingham manufacturer is a born fighter, and he has a certain tenac- fty that prevents him from knowing when he Is beaten. But would any one gainsaay that MT. Conner under the try ing circumstances. would have done aught but utter maledictions on the heads of the offending railroad? Would MT.

And Is 1t then surprising that the sunny natured man. the man who loves men. should daily be taking votes by the score from his more material opponent? Gaining in Strength.

 Throughout the morning, young men were dashing down the main street of Geneva, a feeling of importance in their mission. They were preparing for the laying of the cornerstone of the handsome school building of ce- ment stone that the school board Of Geneva is constructing. Musicians in a brilliantly red uniform strode proud ly on the thoroushfare and citizens packed around the Johnson Hotel, where Governor Cunningham was quartered or stood about the street corners and conversed with the candi' date.
