Sheriff and Elliott Goes
Down to Assessor.
.FlNDLAY WINS OVER sHlNN
Resolutions Are the Same
Thread-Bare Denuncia-
tons Of Old.

Democratic bosses pulled off their
county nominating convention here
Friday as scheduled and rushed their
slated ticket through. Francis for
sheriff went through with a sweep,
the convention being made up OF men
chosen by the bosses at the district
conventions. The court house was
well filled in the afternoon to see the
trick turned.
A Tame Affair.
The convention was a very tame
affair and the business was rushed
through like that OF school session
just before the regular closing hour
on a hot day. Everybody seemed to-
be anxious to catch trains and cars
for home. /.
Chairman, E. D., Lewis, of the coun-
ty executive committee. raped the
convention to order at 11:10 o'clock,
read the official call for the meeting
and called Ernest Randolph. Of
Salem,. to the chair as temporary
chairman and j. G. Shaw. of Clarks-
burg, as temporary secretary and
these gentlemen took their places.
Begins With Dennnciation.
Mr. Randolph momentarily forgot
the object of the convention and the
nature of his duties and launched off
into a long and bitter trade of the
Republican party, and President
Roosevelt. His attacks on the Presi-
dents policies however were received
in utter silnce by the delegates pres
ent. Noticing the unusual chilliness
prevailing throughout the hall, he
left off talking about Roosevelt and
began attacking the "malefactors Of
great wealth" and managed to enum-
crate a long string Of platitudes and
distractions which he said wre the
objects Of the Democratic party. The
Republican party and the entire gov
ernmental system under its admins
trations were denounced in toto.

Mount Etna, now attracting the ap-
prehensive gaze of the world after Is
years retirement from active bust

travellers tales than any other noun

fashionable habit Of climbing its high
est peak-and some did so, to the
amazement of the Sicilians. even in
the dead Of winter-have left on rec

day the emotions that thrilled the. r
soul. THE mar who treads Mount

Citizen Complimented.

The Louisiana Planter in it's
last issue contains the following
very complimentary write up of
one of Lafayette's citizens:
Mr.. L. Won Tresckow's protrait
given herewith represents one
of our most prminent sugar
chemists, engineers and sugar
house superintendent. MI. Won
Tresckow came from Europe to
Louisiana many years ago and
at once engaged in sugar chemi.
cal work. His energy, ability
and general accuracy in his
work brought him at once into
public note and his services were
sought for in the organization
of the Lafayette Sugar Refinery
Co., the corporation originally
created by Col. G.. A. Breaux.
This sugar factory, under Mr..
Won Tresckow's management has
made a prominent success of it's
business, which Is continually
increasing. Mr.. Won Tresckow
is quite an inventor and has
brought out a number of inven-
tons of considerable value which
the public seem inclined to ap-
p~reciate. We shall hope that
he will go on with his Lafayette
factory and greatly increase it's
business during future years.

TURKEY is UNDECIDED.
Blames Certain Powers for Actor
Taken by Bulgaria.

Constantinople, Oct. 6.-Turkey is
convinced that Austria, backed by Ger
many, encouraged Bulgaria to declare
her independence in order to strike a
blow at the Kaimil ministry and COM
promise the new constitution.
1t is not known what steps Turkey
will take. but the impression prevails
that a European conference will be
held to consider the whole question.
Advices obtained in an authoritative
quarter of Sofa are TO the effect that
only some of the powers supported
the British proposal for settlement OF
the railroad question. This want OF
unanimity among the powers encour
ages Bulgaria to persist In her present
attitude.
varna and other Bulgarian towns
are placarded with declarations tha
the moment has now arrived to pro
claim independence, as otherwise Tur
key, on tho strength of the treaty o.
Berlin, will demand the restitution o.
Eastern Roumelia.

Opens Campaign in That State in
Speech at ST. Joseph.

Taft invasion of Missouri began here.
The first Missouri audience was COM
posed almost entirely of voters, men
who work in the stock yards at st.
Joseph, where MIR. Taft spoke In the
rain from the steps of the stock ex-
shange. He was presented by Presi-
dent John Donovan of the exchange,
who said he did not appear under
false pretenses. He was, he added, a
Democrat, but he &new Judge Taft to
be thorough American in every par
ticular and to have a clean record of
great achievements.
AS is his usual custom to labor audi
ences Mr.. Taft analyzed the labor sit
uation with reference to the two par.
ties. He referred briefly to his own
labor record and again declared him
self to be the friend and not the en-
cmy Of labor. What he said was
cheered, but there was noticeable on
the edges of the crowd, where his
voice did not reach. stragggling cheers
for Bryan.
At the Tootle Opera House, before
an audience which filled the place. an
extended industrial speech was deliv
cred by Mr.. Taft.

STOCK MARKET AFFECTED
Fear Of War Causes Excitement on
Foreign Exchanges.

London, Oct. 6.-The stock exchange
was thrown into futter by the proc
lamation of the independence of Bull
garia and the action taken by Austria
Hungary with regard to the political
status of the provinces Of Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Consols fell five-eighths
and foreign bonds about one point, due
principally to Continental selling.
Paris, Oct 6.-Prices on the bourse
broke badly on fears of war in the
Balkans. Rentes opened 60 centimes
down. Turkish bonds were $780, as
against 1920 on Saturday. Shares OF
the Ottoman bank were 657, as against
7l6 on Saturday.
Servian and other Balkan bonds, az
well as Russians, shared in the fall
The excitement gradually subsided
however, and the tone improved, but
the close was barely steady.
