corn, and much cheaper, that
can be raised in abundance even
in the driest countries of the
state.
The demonstra ton was made
on two lots Of hogs consisting
Of cross breeds Of Berkshire and
Poland China. One lot consist
ing of ten hogs were fed equal
quantities of ground kaffir corn

One lot consisting of thirteen
hogs were fed crushed Indian

st. Petersburg, Aug 22.--At the for

the Japanese had made the installation

explanation is given:
The Chinese insisted that the Port

that they could not agree to this so

to enter northern Manchuria free,
whereupon China brought the matter
to the attention Of Russia. The ques-

TIONS.

Columbus, o., Aug. 22.-When the
ONO democratic convention reassem-
bled today 1T was with the knowledge
that the fight on county option in the
temperance legislation as a part of
the declaration OF the principles was
assured. The protracted night session
of the committee on platform had been
insufficient to bring the different opin-
ions together.
many or the temperance advocates
among them the leader OF the Anti
saloon league, were understood to be
willing to accept a compromise, but
w l.. FINLEY had all along maintained
that no compromise which left the
county option idea at all obscured
would be acceptable to him and the
delegates were not surprised at the
prospect of minority report.
The proposition of Finley is for To-
cal option by counties, the present laws
providing only for township and resi-
dence district option, came before the
convention as an amendment to the
report of the platform committee. The
proposal made by Finley to the com
mittee was rejected but was submit
ted by him as an amendment To the
report of the committee on resolu-
tions when that was presented to the
convention, today.
The committee on resolutions came
near having an all night session of IL
in their attempt to avoid bringing onto
the floor of the convention the differ
ences that had kept them so long I'm
session. However, a final adjournment
was taken just before 2:30 o'clock
without having reached an agreement.
and with the understanding that w.
l.. Finley intended to bring in a min
ority report In favor of county option
and endeavor to secure the vote of
the convention in it's favor
Finley spoke at some length In SUM-
port Of his motion. Rev. Herbert n.

mise substitute before the committee
last night was accepted by Finley then

Washington, Aug -Brigandage lis
so common near Smyrna, Syria, that
the Americans have appealed repeat
edly to the American consulate there
for protection against the brigands in
the licorice root fields and the tobac-

the foreign population is moving into

state department from Ernest Nagni-

city.
Outlawry is said to exist in Alden
