All Plans for Campaign in "0Id
Burnt" Will Be Laid at
District Committee Meeting
In August.
HOPE TO FIRE FIRST
GUN IN THIS CITY.
As Convention Plums Went
Elsewhere, 1t Is Thought
Best to Favor Richmond
With Opening Meeting.

Z. NJ. Haas, chairman OF the Sixth
district republican central committee
today announced that he would call a
meeting of the central committee for
August Z. This meeting will be held
at Rushville, which is about the most
centrally located city in the district.
At the meeting of the committee the
plans for the campaign, which opens
in this district the first of September.
will be mapped out
Where will the first big gun of the
campaign in this district be firsd?"
Mr.. Haas was asked. .-..
Il expect the speakers bureau OF the
state central committee will arrange
for three or four big meetings in this
district but l have no idea where the
first one will be held"
Wayne county people feel that the
formal opening of the campaign should
be held in Richmond. inasmuch as
Richmond was ignored this year when
the convention plums were handed
out. The first political meeting of i'm
portance always attracts large
crowd and should the campaign in
this district be opened In Richmond.
there would be hundreds of people
present from all sections OF the dis
trict.
Mr.. Haas states that state speakers
bureau will. as usual. have entire
charge of arranging meetings in this
district where outside" speakers will
appear. "All the district central COM
mittee will do at the Rushville meet
Ing will be to look over the situation
In this district and arrange to COOP
crate with the state central commit
tee In its work." said Mr.. Haas.
Chairman Haas states that Judge
Barnard, republican nominee for con-
gresham, will make an exhaustive
campaign throughout the district. and
he will probably arrange to speak in
every township and community. Judge
Barnard will probably start his cam
paign about the first week of Septem m.
ber and from that time on until the
elections he will be busy man.
Reports Chairman Haas has so far
received from all sections of the dis
trict are most encouraging for a re-
publican victory and the leaders are
certain that Judge Barnard will be
elected by good majority. Reports
also point to the district giving Wat
son good majority in the gubernator-
ial race.

Chicago, July 29.-The above ticket
was last night nominated by the In
dependent party at it's first national
convention.
The friends OF Mr.. Bryan made an
effort during the night session to
bring his name before the convention,
and the man who attempted it nearly
produced a riot and narrowly escaped
physical violence at the hands of in
dignant delegates. The man who
sought to place Mr.. Bryan in nomina-
ton was J. l. Shepard, of Fort Scott.
Kan. He did not succeed in his mis-
sion, for being called to order by
Chairman Walsh, he admitted it was
his intention to name Mr.. Bryan. That
was the first and last time he men
toned the name Of the Democratic
leader He was promptly ruled out OF
order by the chairman and under the
guard of several sergeants- alarms he
was hustled out of the hall, while some
incensed delegates vainly attempted
to strike him with fists and one oi
them swung at him savagely with a
cane.
Came on Third Ballot.
The nomination of Mr.. Hisgen was
made on the third ballot. his chic
competitors being Milford W. Howard
of Alabama and John Temple Graves
of Georgia. Reuben r. Lyon, of New
York, received a complimentary vote
on the first ballot and William Ran

indianapolis, Ind, July 29.-Rhody
Shiel. one of the best known poll
ticians of Indiana, did some talking
while he was in Cincinnati attending
the Taft notification round up. He
told the reporters down there that the
republican party of Indiana has
thrown off all the hangers-on and is
out for the best votes of the state.
Twenty-seven breweries, he said,
which have heretofore put up for the
republican campaigns, have swung to
Marshall, and that 5000 saloonkeep-
ers in the state are with these brew
cries in their fight on the republicans.
On the temperance question, it is
agreed, the republicans have all the
better of the game, and none of the
republican leaders seem to care
whether or not the brewery interests
have Topped to the other side. They
say that the party could wish for moth
ing better than to have it understood
that the saloon element is for Mar.
shall, and they do not hesitate to push
this impression along. The party's
record on temperance legislation ought
to be enough to drive the SALON ele
ment into the democratic camp, they
say. and when the liquor planks OF
the two parties are compared, II
would seem as though that Is where
this element belongs. Rhody Shiel as
serts that the public will not be de
ceived by the action of the brewer,
interests, and that IL they really have
tied to Marshall, the latter will have
a load to carry that may bury him.

bread and coffee, according to Mrs.
Margaret Spencer, matron of the home.
Repeated allegations have been made
that prisoners at the Home are not
given sufficient food. The county
pays 40 cents per day for the board of
each prisoner. Complaints have en-
anated from prisoners and their rela-
tives and friends. The Palladium this
morning secured sworn statements
from Mrs. Sarah Hoover. Mrs. Marga-
ret Ann Smith, and Mrs. Wilson al
leging food is not supplied in suffi-
cient quantities. Another affidavit
was obtained in which the three wo-
men declared they are not moved
through any spirit of malice or evil
motive. They declare their only OBJ
ject in making these statements is for
the purpose of putting the public in
charge of information that is believed
will prove Of startling nature.
The Palladium recognizes that the
three women are prisoners serving
sentence. but they gave solemn oath
to the effect they have no desire for
revenge and are not actuated by sell

The matron, of the Home. Mrs. Mar
garet Spencer verified the statement
of Mrs. Hoover and Mrs Smith, as to
the provisions for breakfast. She
was asked what they were given for
supper last evening and said she
could not remember. When told pris-
oners had made complaints about
their food, Mrs. Spencer replied in a
manner that indicated some warmth
of feeling. "If you want to know any
thing about this thing come right
down here. OF course we give them
plenty to eat. OF course they COM
plain. We give them more to eat
than they have at the county Jail. If
you lived down here you would be car

plenty of good bread and the best of
butter. We give them meat, too. They
don't have any work to do and just
sit around down here. They" and
then she stopped her conversation and
it was evident the interview was at
an end.
Charges Against Matron.
Not only do Mrs Smith. Mrs. Hoov-
er and Mrs. Wilson charge the matron
of the home with being responsible
for the small supply of food furnish
ed them. but they declare she is cross
and crabid. She is not accused with
any cruel treatment. Mrs. Wilson
says this morning she was ordered
down from the windows. She said
she has been i'll and wanted to breathe
the fresh air from between the bars,
but the matron told her to leave the
windows and not repeat her act
So enraged have the three women
become because of their treatment and
food they have made appeals for out
side help. Mrs. Smith has written to
the county commissioners asking for
relief. Friends of hers have written
letters TO Governor Hanly calling his
attention to the conditions Appe ais
have been made to the prosecuting
attorney. William NARROW, a brother
of Mrs. Hoover was appealed to and

WHEN A MANS HORN TO STAR"
Mansfield Was a Delightful Host, But
 Unsatisfactory Guest.

Paul Wilstack, in November Scribners
 Mansfield was born to star" This manifested itself in every aspect of his life. At the head of things he had con- plete command of the situation and of himself Anywhere else he went to pieces, his strong personality shattered propor- tions, and order was not restorNl until he eliminated himself or took the lead. His personality demanded complete self assertion. He could not put himself In conformity to extraneous conditions. But he had a genius for putting environing persons and things in harmony "A h him- self As a lad at school he could read the boys in studies or in a race, but he was not so successful in taking his place on a team. At the head of his own table he was a miracle of hospitality, cordiality and deference and spared no personal exertion to charm his guest. But he was never a guest himself, except at great personal sacrifice to his preference and composure. He lamented this often and wished that he had more of the faculty of social blend He once exclaimed to a friend:
 Come, let's have some fun. Others have fun; why cannot we?"
 Extreme sensitiveness had much to do with this, especially in his later years of great fame, when he had a painful aver sion to the attention which his appear ance in public places always attracted.

 News of Bessemer.
ALL INDUSTRIES ARE BUSY
By J. B. HOUSTON.

Bessemer, December 5.--(Special. .)--The outlook generally in the industrial line Is good in Bessemer. The large shipment of pipe from the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company to Cuban points today over the Louisville and Nashville railroad, requiring a special train, the one shipment being nearly 1000 tons, and the order still in its infancy, presages a continual operation of that plant for some time to come. The fur naces that are operating are doing better than they ever have done. their output be- ing greater, and the three furnaces that are out of commission are in readiness to start all of the repair work being conn., pleted, and 1t Is generally understood that they will resume very shortly.
 The rolling mill Is working double turn. having many orders booked for its proda uct that will take some time to make. and all of the smaller industries are work ing full. This and other industries seek ing location here make the Bessemer peo- pie think that a wave of prosperity will be forthcoming. It causes much rejoic- ing and restores confidence after such a year of hard times. The merchants have realized that there are good times com ing, and have believed 1t so strong as to make large eastern orders preparatory for their holiday rush.
