this man, laugh which always seem
ed lowering on his lips and which was
only held in restraint by the awe we
all felt Of the major.
Notwithstanding, I made one slight
move. Encountering the deputy coro-
ner, I ventured to ask If he was quite
satisfied with the evidence collected in
the jeffrey case.
His surprise did not prevent him

l replied to this effect:
Because I have little friend win

smiling in way which y1ade me say

For Jinny's one weakness is her lack
of power to hide the satisfaction she
takes in any detective work that comes
her way. I had told her of this and had
more than once tried to impress upon
her that her smile was a complete
give away, but I noticed that II she

Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cold.

A. j. Nusbaum, Batesville, Ind, writes
last year I suffered for three months
with summer cold so distressing that
it interfered with my business. had
many of the symptoms of hay fever, and
a doctors prescription did not reach my
case, and l took several medicines, which
seemed to only aggravate my case. For.
tnnately insisted upon having Foley's
Honey and Tar in the yellow package,
and 1t quickly cured me. My wife has
since used Foley's Honey and Tar with
the same success" DR.. j. w. Bell.

Mann ng is nearly 10000 votes, and
in order for Manning to secure the
nomination he would have to gain, if
the same vote should be cast in the
second primary, $4,000 votes, as
against Ansel's needed 5000.
In the race for Attorney General,
Lyon came even nearer still to seour-
ing the nomination on the first ballot.
In this race, of 96,657 votes that
were cast Lyon received 1922. He
lacked, therefore, but 3,l21 votes of
having a majority. Should as large
a vote be cast in the second primary
as in the first, Ragsdale would have
to gain 1896 votes in order to se-
cure the nomination. Lyon would
need but 1921.
The contest for Railroad Commits
sioner is very close, Wharton re-
ceiving 24,636, while Sullivan, his
running mates vote was 24,55O.
Senator Tillman ran 1896 votes
behind the State ticket. He received
but 80, ,46l votes, while the totai vote
cast will aggregate about 96,697.
This scratching" of Senator Tillman
by the voters is noticeable in every
county of the State, though in some
it is much more marked than in
others.
