wHlTE-ELEPHANT PARTY.
(Kansas City Journal.

At Preston, where everything is up
to-date and the people are always
planning some new scheme, shock
ing thing happened. One of the pop
ular society women announced a
"white-elephant party" Every guest
was to bring something that she could
not find any use for and yet too good
to throw away. The party would have
been a great success but for the un-
looked-for development which broke
1t up. Eleven of the nineteen women
brought their husbands.

UEs TO SHOW GOOD FORM
IN TOUR.

COLUMBUS, o., July 19.-W. j.
Towards Oldsmobile left indianapolis
at a. m. Wednesday. leaving 40 min.
! utes after the last machine was
checked out, as we wait for Mr.. Fer
guson and bring him in to check the
other cars at the finish. 1t rained al
most all night and was simply pour
ing down when we left in the morning.
We went on the hunt of a Preto air
tank, as we thought the one we had
was just about exhausted We found
the tank and started out, having Mr..
Crockett owen, of Columbia, Tenn,
who will make the remainder of the
trip with us as our fourth passenger.
We had our top up and as far as the
rain was concerned we suffered very
little, but we made slow going, which
lasted forty-five miles and then we had
fine roads. Near Dayton we had
puncture in our right front tire. We
put on new tire and found that the
new air tank we had spent forty min
utes in getting was empty and we had
to pump, so we lost about twenty
minutes fixing the tire.
At Dayton, Ohio, we were met with
a basket containing six small ones
with labels that read, Compliments
of the Speedwell Motor Co. May you
finish with a clean score" AS we
tried to pass the Standardization fac
tory we were held up and our gasoline
tanks filled and treated to fine lunch
with plenty to wash it down with.
We were certainly treated fine and
every one wished the Stoddard road
ster a clean score. We pulled out
again exactly at / O'Clock having been
on the road four hours and twenty
and our Odometer showed
III miles. We were not delayed after
that and the motor was not stopped
till we reached Columbus at 3:4O,
Odometer showing 181 miles for the
day. We were given nine and one
half hours to run it in and we made 1t
in TAO. So far the trip has been all
anyone could ask, as the Oldmobile |
has not failed to finish way ahead of |
her time allowed and have made no
adjustments of any kind. There were |
over forty puntures reported for the
day and most of them were caused by |
new nails. People drive for miles and
stand at cross roads to see the ma
chimes go by. The girls throw roses
with notes attached bearing their adj
dresses and asking us to write and
send them post cards. One more car
dropped out of the perfect score list
.oday on account of tire trouble. The
pace is hot and IL one gets more tire
rouble than his share, he simply can't
make the CONTROL on time. Our hard
irving is yet ahead and II we get
through without breaking a spring,
will think we are certainly blessed
With good luck.

New Regulations Give A
Greater Allowance for
Enlisted Men

WASHINGTON, July IA number
of new laws and regulations affecting
the army and navy are always put
into force at the beginning of the
government fiscal year on July /, and
this year Is no exception to the rule.
One of the new regulations which
gives especial satisfaction to the men
of the navy is that providing for an
increase in the clothing allowance.
Under the new order of things the
clothing allowance given enlisted
men upon entering the navy is to be
$65 instead of $45, as heretofore. An
exception is made in the case of ORR
entails on the Asiatic station, whose
allowance will be $50, representing
their lesser need in this respect. In
the case of the F'ita Fitas, at Samoa,
the allowance is 500, since they have
an economy of attire which comes
we'll within that reduced allowance,

hal
Swain recently gave out an inter-

Simpkins him as the case had passed

The two detectives agencies have

the Thiels being employed as well as
the Pinkertons at first, though the
former dropepd out after the arrests
were made, and there has been more
or less antagonism between them ever
since.

Though she had been in i'll health
for some months, and confined to
her bed for the past three weeks,
the death of Mrs. Harry w. Sloan
was not looked for when it oc-
Cured on Sunday afternoon at half
past two o'clock.
Last November she was first
stricken with heart trouble, and
from that time she has slowly de-
clined. Bright's disease set in and
toward the end she was also afflict-
ed with dropsy.
Mrs. Sloan was the daughter of
Joseph w. Hendershott deceased,
and was born i'll Bloomsbury, near
the river bridge. Her whole life
was spent in Bloomsbury. She
graduated at the Normal School in
the class of 1871, and was married
to Mr.. Sloan on November cath,
1879. She was member of St.
Paul's Episcopal Church, and in
her younger days was active in
church work, and prominent in the
social life of the town.
She is survived by her husband,

THE SPRING PRIMARIES.

With the spring primaries draw
ing nearer the interest among voters
becomes paramount and the ques-
ton as to eligibility of voters is a
matter of no little comment. There
seems to be ahoat an erroneous idea
in regard to the voters who have
moved from their wards and who
wish to cast ballot at the coming
primary election. When an attor-
ney was asked yesterday as to the
position of a man who had changed
his place of residence and had
moved to a ward where he had not
been a resident and where he had
not registered, he said /: "No voter
is eligible to vote at the coming
primary election to be held in June
if he has moved from the ward in
which he has been registered pre-
viously. OF course this does not
disqualify him for the coming Nov
ember election. since there are the
three registration days to be held
before that time arrives. Everyone
who votes at the coming primary
election, however, has to be regis
tered in the ward in which he re-
sides and unless he is so listed it
will be impossible for him to cast
ballot" An effort is being made
to amend the primary law so that
the voter who moves on the first of
April will come in for vote through
the sixty day residence as re-
quired by law. By this plan
the man who moved with the open
ing of April would be able to
register by placing his name with
the county commissioners and
would obtain residence and voting
privilege in time to be resident in
the new home for sixty days before
the date of the June primary cleo
ton, which is stated to be held on
the first Saturday in June. The
legislation is deemed imperative,
and seems to be necessary altera-
ton to the present act governing
the situation. --Et.
