HOISTED HIM
OVER FENCE

More than ordinary excitement
was caused at the Interstate fair
grounds yesterday by Charles
Beatty, the man who first starred
Dirty Dora" the mud eater.
Beatty secured season pass to the
grounds. Since so many race horse
men went to Walla Walla, Wash,
the other day, Secretary Cosgrove
Of the association gave orders that
all passes be taken up and re-
placed. eBatty's was taken up. OF
course Beatty commenced to 'bull"
about it. In connection with his
Dora" business he learned how to
hand 1t out in packages all done up,
and commenced telling the gate
tender who he was. He wouldn't
give up the pass. The trouble ended
by it being taken away. Then
Beatty wouldn't leave the grounds
and as the gate was too far away
to take him there, special police
men hoisted him over the fence.

Does Not Decide.
The republican county committee
and the various candidates adjourned
Yesterday without coming to any de
cision as to whether the majority OF
plurality vote shall govern the nomina-
ton at the coming primaries. Many ar
guments on both sides of this PROPOSE
ton were heard, the ruling element
showing a tendency to favor the ma
iority decision, as this method will
give a greater chance of nomination
IN convention, and the resulting posi-
bility of manipulation and deals be
tween candidates for various offices.
Discussing the question whether the
candidates should name the delega-
tions. or that they should be named al

he told of the meeting, of the Selec-
ton of a committee from the different

Hiding Her LoYa.

1t may not be unmaidenly of a girl
to love before she is asked, but 1t is
certainly unmaidenly Of her to let the
fact be suspected. And did she real
lie how quickly she drops In the APP
probation Of all who know her, she
would certainly be more circumspect in
her behavior. Unfortunately, some
girls do not scruple to do all they
can to attract the man upon whom
their choice has fallen. Instead of al
lowing him his prerogative of wooing
and winning, an infatuated girl will
show him only too plainly how very
welcome are his attentions.
1t is not surprising that onlookers
pour scathing criticism upon the girl
who by her own conduct robs herself
