Selma, June 26-(Special)-A special sent out from Montgomery to several state papers says: "J. Craig Smith, pres ident of the state head of convict in- spectors, said, while discussing the sen atorship question: Do you Know that at the meeting of the state executive con- mittee which adopted the alternate sen- atorship plan, a resolution to make the selection the nominee of the party was defeated? It was, and this seems to have been overlooked MT. Smith said this In the presence of the governor. who look ed interested
 The meeting of the state executive con- mittee at which the alternate senator plan was adopted was held In Montgom- cry on January 9, 1906 A careful perusal of the official stenographic proceedings of that meeting, which are on file In the office of Chairman Mallory of the com mittee in this city. does not disclose any thing like the resolution referred to. The only amendment to the plan was offered by Mr Proctor of Jackson, which pro- posed to strike out in the first section of the plan for the primary the reference to the election of senators or their appoint ment. This amendment was tabled by large majority and the plan was adopted as brought in by the subcommittee, the reading Of the plan seriatlm being dis pensed with after section 13 was reached.

SeIma's Two Naval Cadets.

Today Senator Pettus sent to the naval department in Washington recommenda- tion for the appointment of Robert Hous- ton Grayson of this city to the naval academy at Annapolis. Cadet Grayson was appointed some weeks ago as alter nate for the cadetship for which John Melvin, also of this city, had been named as principal Cadet Melvin having suc- cessfully passed his examination, of course, made useless the appointment giv- en the alternate, although Cadet Grayson had successfully stood the examination which was given him in Montgomery about two weeks ago. Senator Pettus therefore names him principal and he will commence the course at Annapolis at the coming term.
 The new candidate for Annapolis is well equipped in every way for tho course. and Selma Is to be congratulated upon having two such excellent young men as embryo admirals in the United States navy.

HIGH Friced Runhiehees.

Many years ago the farmers Of
Australia imported bumblebees from
England and set them free in their
clover fields. Before the arrival Of
the bees clover did not flourish in
Australia, but after their coming
the farmers had no more difficulty
on that score. ,Ir. Darwin had
shown that bumblebees were the
only insects fond of clover nectar
which possessed proboscis suffi-
ciently long to reach the bottom of
the long, tubelike flowers and at
the same time body heavy enough
to bend down the clover head so
that the pollen would fall on the in
sect's back and thus be carried off
to fertilize other flowers of the
same species. The bumblebees sent
to Australia cost the farmers there
about half dollar apiece, but they
proved to be worth the price.

Took Him Down a Peg.

The young doctor to whom the
Esculapian oath was Greek looked
contemptuously at the old woman
who had come to the uptown hos
pital where he was an inferno to in
quire about her son.
'He has eerebro neurosis, l told
you once" he said.
"Oh, DEAR" said the woman, for
she was not as ornately educated as
the young physician, ''is it as bad as
that? New-what do you call it"
"Neurosis," said the surgeon.
@Don't l talk plain enough for
you?"
as it anything like nervous pros
tration?'' inquired the woman.
s..You will pardon me, sir. My ed
ucation was along literary rather
than scientific lines"
''That's what some call it" said
the young physician as he got ready
to make run for the ambulance at
the door.-New York Telegram.

IMPROVING THE ATTIC.
Suggestions That Will Help In Making
Ii Habitable.

In addition to those familiar uses
, of attics which are so vivid when it
rains or when one is cynical or
moody or inclined to be witty at the
expense of bedposts and warming
pans, there are improved uses an at
tic can be put to and still remain an
attic. The feeling of attics-that
sense they give of a friendly. aliena-
ton from the world below stairs
must not, of course, be lost. If one
desires no more than a place in
which to tell fairy tales at twilight
the lighting of a candle might
be change enough in the usual un-
plastered and left over space. But
that is too simple. Besides, the
taste for fairy tales is not universal,
and it is. moreover, taste more
natural in the nursery than in the
attic. But habitable attic must
be anything but dingy. A glass
trapdoor, such as one too often sees,
is not enough. There should be a
great dormer window, built low
enough for window seats, and ample
seats at that, large enough to
lounge in. There should be wide
sills, too. for flowers, for an attic
without flowers would be unimagina-
ble. As for the body of the room
the chief thing to do where there
are gables would be to insert a
wainscot all around of, say, five or
six feet in height. Along this could
be put shelves for books or odds
and ends of whatever kind. A car
pet would be improper, for it is ira
ditional that an attic is bare. In
expensive rugs and skins suggest
themselves mechanically, like easy
Sehairs, a work table and a lounge.
The fancy includes a piano, pic
lures, glorious andirons, sconces,
while the Imagination leaps to a.
NOR and cabinets. Yet in a proper
attic the furniture should be a little
commonplace with discarded look,
if you will, to be in keeping. Things
half broken down are fit for a
quaint utility there, and as clothes
once decent on Sunday come to be
so only on Saturday and then on
Friday, and so on, so odds and ends
they grow familiar and worn in
ther parts of the house have a last
.se-as old companions in an attic.

a Castle In Ireland.

The name OF castle for country
house is preserved in Ireland, rath-
er curiously, for Ireland has not the
veStiges of French customs so no.
ticeable in Scotland. The dullest
little villa, so it be solitary in an
Irish country place, bears that
name, and the smile of the Saxon
when he arrives and sees the castle
is cheap and u2scholarly. Where
the Celt-the female Ce!t, that is
does earn and deserve that slight
sign OF derision is in her practice
with her visiting cards intended for
London use. The word castle there
for a second and country address
does seem to suggest machicolations,
if not sieges and sally ports.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

Got His AnsWer.

An Englishman travelling in Ire
land complained that he could find
none of the famous Irish wits of
whom he had heard. He was ad-
vised to speak to the next farmer or
teamster he met. A little later he
encountered a peasant leading a
horse with a load of turf. The
horse had a blazed face.
"What white face your horse
has, my man.! said the Engllshman
by way of an opening.
"Sure," replied the Irishman,
"your own will be as white when it
has been as long in the halter. -

The Very Earliest Coins.

No one knows exactly when or
where the original coin was
"struck" or what metal was used.
Certain passages in Homer would
lead to the inference that brass was
coined as early as the year 1854
B. C. Tradition affirms that the
Chinese had bronze coins as early
as the year 112O B. c., but Herodo-
tus, the acknowledged "father of
history" is of the opinion that the
Lydians invented" coins some time
during the ninth century B. C. One
of the oldest coins now known is
a gold daric, coined by the Persians
during the reign of Darius. On
one side of this coin is a bust of
Darius and on the other side a
figure of a knecling archer.

used in u seventeenth centurv ln-

sense to Republicans who deserted

SOLVED IN SLUMBER.
A Problem That Was Worked Out and
Written During Sleep.

Many persons have written while
wrapped in slumber. Coleridge
writing the poem of "Kubla Khan
in his sleep is a classic instance, but
there are numerous others. Here is
one which DR.. Carpenter mentions
in his book on "Mental Physiology"
A professor at Amsterdam had
been given by banking house OF
that city a question to solve, involv-
ing a long and difficult calculation.
Several times he tried to obtain the
solution, but each time he made
some mistake. At last, all wearied
out, he gave the problem to some
of his students, telling them that
if possible he would like the answer
in three days. One of them, eager
to get into his teachers good graces.
took it home and worked on it for
three successive nights in vain.
"At last I bent myself over my
figures for a third evening. 1t was
winter, and l calculated till half
past in the morning, all to no pur-
pose. The product was erroneous.
Low at heart, l threw down my pen
ell, which already by that time had
beciphered three states. l hesitst-
ed whether would toll through the
night, as | knew that the professor
wanted an answer the very same
morning. But, 10! my candle was
already burning in the socket, and
the persons with whom | lived had
gone to rest. Then | also went to
bed, my head filed with ciphers,
and. tired in mind, | fell asleep. In
the morning awole just early
enough to dress and prepare myself
to 90 to the lecture, vexed at
heart at not having been able to
solve tie question and at having to
disappcint my teacher.
"hrt, oh, wonder! AS l approach

with figures in my own hand and
think of my astonishmentD the
whole problem on it solved quite
Alright and without single blundcr.
l wanted to ask my hostess whether
any one had been in my room, but
was stopped by my own handwrit-
ing. Thus I must have calculated
the problem in my sleep and in tie
dark to boot. And, what was most
remarkable, the computation was so
succinct that what / saw before me
on a single folio sheet had required
three slatefuls, closely beciphered
on both sides, during my waking
state. Professor Won Swinden was
amazed at the event and declared
to me that while calculating the
problem himself he had never once
thought of solution so simple and
concise" Exchange.

The Imitation Brands Have Schnapps

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look ike Schnapps to-

plugs of tobacco is tlue cured the same
as Schnapps, but the inside is filled
with cheap, fimsy, heavily sweetened
air cured tobacco. One chew OF
Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger

bacco. The color, size and shape
of the tags, plugs and packages of
certain imitation brands of tobacco
have been made SO much like
Schnapps that they have often been
accepted by buyers under the belief
that they were getting Schnapps:
Sufficient proof has been secured
to establish the fact that certain
brands are infringements and in vio-

trade will continue to be imposed
upon by these infringers Until the suit

City Council Proceedings.

The Council on Saturday aWar-
ded the contract for eight street
crossings to J. H. Dunbar at 30
cents per cubic foot. The speci-
ticationS are as follows: Base
four feet wide, five inches deep
and composed Of seven parts of
gravel and sand to one part of cc-
ment; the finishing or top to be
two parts sand TO one of cement
and Sloped both ways up and
down the street, This will make
the cost Sl.OJ per running foot.
The contract for hauling the
rock for the public square grade
was given to H. f. Upshaw at -
cents per thousand pounds.
To cover the square four inches
deep with stone, estimating it
solid, which will give some more
than four inches. level in the
rough, will require something
like | 400 cubic yards of stone.
Taking this stone at, say $500
pounds per yard, we have Il total
of 1900. 600 pounds, which at the
contract price of - cents per
Thousand pounds will sum up
81, 2225 for this hauling. The
News does not claim that this es-
innate is absolutely correct, but
it will not miss it very far.
Upon the cost OF cement side
walks around the square the eS-
innate Of cost against each lot is
between fifty and sixty dollars.
These sidewalks must be com
pleted by May list, so says the
Council, and written notice to
this effect has been served upon
each lot holder or their legal rep
resentativc. And unless these
sidewalks are put in by the own
crS as per specifications adopted,
and by the time stated, the Coun-
Gil will do it and at said owners
cost, said lots being sold, if nee
cssary, to cover the expense.
This is what The News calls
getting down to business and it
should meet the hearty approval
of Canyon City people.
