BIDS. FOR SCHOOLHOUSE:

At noon Wednesday the bids for
the new Stark school building were
opened at the High school by the
board of education. Although the cost
of the building was estimated at $4,000
more than the Crystal Park school
building erected last year, the bids
were 5000 less. The bids for the
building are as follows; j. l.. Van
kirk, $21,37565; Keller Huff, $780,
664.00; William School G. Son, $22,-
S7S.11; George Whike, s22, ,456.53 Mat
thew Miller offered bid of s1750 for
the stone work alone. The bids for
plumbing and heating are: j. A..
Mills, 1886; George Ressler, $2948;
W. d. Theobold C Co., $3426.05; w. ID.
Theobold &c Co.. plumbing and heat
ing, s3376.60; j. l.. vankirk, $3656 AZ;
Keller Huff, $3656.42; William Shoot
& Son. 365642.
The building will be situated on
Stark avenue between Landor and Sar-
yer streets. AS there are not suffi-
cient funds to build the school, the
contract cannot be awarded until the
money for the sale of $4,000 in bonds
is in the fund. AS Keller Huff and
George Kessler submitted the lowest
bids the contracts will probably be
awarded to them, making a total cost
for the building $23,612.

A VICTORY IN MEDICINE /!

Castor Oil in pillsl For over four
years medical men have tried
to find a way to strengthen or con-
centrate castor oil.
A rare combination and a peculiar
process of COMPRISING castor oil with
refined sulphur and other excellent
medicines has resulted in a most like
able product, that physics more pleas
antly than any preparation ever dis
covered. Most all druggists recon-
ment Blackburn's Castor-Oil Pills, be
cause they are sweet and little, and
delightfully."- effective and beneficial
The public like them for the same rea-
sons, and because they get fifteen
doses for ten cents or forty-five doses
for twenty-five cents. All reliable
druggists sell them; limitations do not
have portrait and signature of Mr..
Blackburn on the back of red cornered
package.

Straw votes recently taken among
Republican members Of the legisla-
lures of Nebraska and North Dakota,
to test their preference for the next
presidential nomination for their par
ty, showed almost unanimous SEN
timent for Roosevelt, providing he
would accept the nomination. From
other western states it was reported
that the same sentiment prevails 1t
is hardly likely, however, that the
strenuous president will accept an
other nomination. from the fact that
he has made his position so clear on
the subject. 1t naturally follows
then, who will be the Republican nom
inee. in Nebraska, Secretary Taft
had 3S votes His nearest competi-
tors were Senators LaFollette, Dolli-
Iver, and Vice President Fairbanks, in
that order, with eight, seven and five
votes, respectively. In North Dako-
ia the sentiment was about the same
as in Nebraska. This shows that the
so-calIed progressive element of the
party, with Roosevelt out of the run
ming, is centering on Taft as the best
exponent of his policies and the most
capable man for his successor. 1t is
equally certain that the re-actionary
and conservative elements in the Re
publican party is centering on Fair
banks. So between Fairbanks and
Taft the next national convention will
very probably make its choice.

In the middle Of Mrs. Thaw's story
came up the question of lunacy COM
mission for Thaw, the first time 1t has
been spoken Of in court. Mr.. Delmas
wanted Mrs. Thaw to repeat a conver-
sation she had with her son in June,
1904, but Mr.. Jerome protested that
this was not one of the periods on
which there was evidence that Thaw
was insane If the alienists for Thaw
had sworn that Thaw was insane from
June, 1903, to the night he killed
White, then, Mr.. Jerome said, his OBJ
lection would not be sound, but one
of the experts had said that there
were lucid intervals during that per-
iod In substance Mr. Jerome de-
Eclared that there was nothing to
show that Thaw was not insane now
and If that was the case 1t was the
courts duty to appoint a commission
in lunacy. There was no such con-
tention, Mr.. Delmas said, and Justice
Fitzgerald said that he could not pass
upon the question Of the appointment
of a lunacy commission, unless there
was an application from the district
attorney. Every time an expert said
that a man was insane it was not
the courts duty to stop the trial and
AIDS understanding of Mr.. Jerome's
statement was that it was the courts
duty to appoint commission, but
Mr. Jerome explained that he had no
intention of making such a suggestion
and added that he did not ask for the
commission. The argument was end
ed by Justice Fitzgerald saying that
when an application for a commits
sion was made to him he would pass
on it.
Everything said by Justice Fitz-
gerald indicated that he will not ap-
point g commission on his initiative.
Taken in conjunction with the fact
that Mrs. Thaw was not allowed TO
testify about hereditary insanity in
the Thaw family and that there is
| little likelihood of Mr. Jerome get
ting evidence sufficient to base an ap-
plication for a commission, all hope
that MI. Jerome may have had of a
lunacy commission was swept away
today and it looks very much as if
a jury will decide Thaw's fate.
As Justice Fitzgerald ruled that
Mrs Thaw could tell of these conver-
sations, she went on with her story.
She told her son, referring to the wick
red man, that that sort of thing was
happening in a city like New York
all the time, and why should he feel
that his life was ruined. Furthermore
it was not altogether his business to
see that this girl was not dragged
down, 1t was shortly before her son
sailed for Europe again the second
time, with Evelyn Nesbit, in 1904, that
she learned the name Of the girl who
was causing him so much worry She
spoke to him about the newspaper
comment about him returning on the
same steamer with Evelyn but he. e.;
planned that there was nothing unusual
in that when a man was seeking to
make the young woman his wife. And
she had learned more about the girl.
Her son had told her that she had
the most beautiful mind he had ever
known, and that if she had not been

Baptist General Council.

Washington. D. G.. May 49,
Preliminary steps were taken at
the Baptist anniversaries in ses-
sion here today for the organiza-
ton of a Baptist Union, or gen.
eral council. Tomorrow a CON-
mittee on organization will re-
port. and Prof. Shaler Matthews
of Chicago will address the meet
ing on the functions of the pro.
posed organization. Final action
is then to be taken. and it is free
ly predicted that then. for the
first time in their history, the
Baptist churches of the North
will be united in an organization
through which matters OF general
Baptist interest may be consid-
cred and the attitude of the
denomination on great moral and
public questions be expressed.
But little opposition has de-
veloped to the plan of organiza.
ton, Notwithstanding the fact thai
a similar movement some years
ago met such opposition that
nothing came of it. The new
council or union is not to be legis.
lative, but like the Congregations
National Council, may merely
suggest action to the churches.

so dear to them, climbing trees
swinging in hammock, swings, etc.
The occasion was one not soon to be

doubtless anticipating another such
picnic for next year. All kinds of
good things to eat so pleasing to the
taste were on hand and each one most
heartily INDUCED.

wheat brought to this city from
their elevators west of here and
on the Santa Fe branch out Of

the Santa Fe would not allow
them to load one of their cars
with grain going east at all, and
that the only way they could shiy
