POLK County ConventIon.

The Polk county convention will be held
tomorrow at 10 o'clock In the Young Mems
Christian association auditorium. Hon. Nat
Coffin has been selected for temporary
chairman. The most important contest the
county convention will have to settle is
that of representative There are to be
nominated two from Polk county. John B.
Sullivan has a majority of the delegates
and will be one Of the nominees without
the vote of the convention, as the law pro-
vides. For the other position, Dr. E. e.
Dorr is in the lead with 147 delegates
Charles W. Lyons with 100 Hooker with 81
and four other candidates with less than
40 delegates each. On secretary of state IL
is not necessary for the county convention
to instruct the delegates and this method
may be followed as none Of the three cam
ddates has a majority of the delegates.

May Change Dates.
At the meeting of the Iowa Rife associa-
ton today with Adjutant General Thrift IL
was found that the dates for the state
shoot. which has been decided upon for
the guard, may have to- be changed to a
later date in August, probably to the Goth,
because of failure of the contractors on the
government rifle range to complete the work
before that time.
Attorney General Mullan has given to
General Thrift an opinion in which he holds
that twenty OF the members Of the National
Guard have been leglslated out of ofice by
the new guard law and will have to be APP
pointed by the regiment commanders. This
is in keeping with the opinion Of General
Thrift, who discovered the mistake I'm the
law some weeks ago. The mistage is a tech
meal one and in making the surgeons reg
mental officers instead of department off,
GERS, the present officers will have to be
reappointed. General Thrift today notified
all regiment commanders to make the APP
pointments at once.

Richmond, Me-, Nov. 19.-The escape
of the negro desperate, Minot st. Clair
Francis, from the State prison at
Ihomaston, followed by the reports
that he was coming in the direction OF
Rlchmond in an effort to cross the Ken
nebec, has aroused the fear of the good
people of this town to no small extent.
This is due of course to the large
amount OF space devoted to the subject
OF his recapture in all the papers. Al
this writing these reports seem to be
Srouhdless for it was learned that the
man seen in Woolwich was not the con-
Wet. but an innocent sailor. A notice
offering 900 reward for his capture
dead OF alive, has been posted in The
postoiiice. The notice contains good
photograph of Francis, which attracted
not little attention.

FRANCIS AT AUGUSTA?
Disquieting Rumors Still Ripe, Based
on the Finding of Two Campfires.

Information continues to come to
the Augusta police department that
would lead one to suspect that Francis
may be in this vicinity. The principal
trouble is the fact that the suspicious
circumstances are not reported
promptly. This is not fair to the Of
ticers of the law and certainly not pro-
ductive of results.
Saturday night about s O'Clock w.
N. Witham, who was driving along
the Gardiner road through Chelsea
and but a short distance from the
Cooper store, saw the light of a small
camp or bonfire among the trees, be-
tween that and the other Gardiner
road, where the suspicious person was
seen passing the Henry house. AS all
trace of him was lost beyond the
Henry place. he may have turned into
the woods just below there, thinking
that he would be out of the Sight of
persons passing on that road He
would be, but the easterly Gardiner
road would afford a good view of the
spot. The fire was on the Douglas
wood lot. Witham thought at first
that he would notify the owner of the
land that there was fire on his prem
lses, but changed his mind afterward.
A second fire was seen Sunday night
near Bolton Hill by Harry Pullen. This
flre was i'll slight declivity and
would be hidden. except in the night

ficers yesterday.
