GEORGIA IS NEXT
BATTLE GROUND
Bryan and Johnson Forces to
Fight for Control of
The State.
CONVENTION NEXT TUESDAY
AGENTS FOR TWO PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATES ARE MAKING
GREAT CLAIMS FOR THEIR RE.
SPECTlVE CANDIDATES,

Atlanta, Ga, June 20.-With the
democratic state convention in this
state will come VIM. J. Bryan's hard
est fight to retain his power in the
state. The state of Georgia has al
ways been looked upon as the spon-
sor for the Nebraskan, its declaration
placing him in nomination for presi-
dency in 1895.
On Tuesday the democratic state
convention will be held. Already
both sides in the Bryan and Johnson
factions are lined up with agents
making claims for victory.
The democratic leaders in Georgia
entertain fond hopes of converting
Georgia into the empire state of the
South, claiming that it's democracy is
free and untrammeled. The anti
Bryan forces are fighting hard that
an uninstructed delegation might be
sent to Denver. This is their strong
est hope in their fight upon Organism
However, friends of Mr. Bryan con,
tend that this hope is not sign of
antagonism at all, but simply the
spirit of independence in the hearts
of Georgia democrats.
There is strong undercurrent in
Georgia and the fight between John
son and Bryan will be one of the
most hotly contested in a Georgia
state convention for long time.

VOTING MACHINES
ARE CONSIDERED
Proposed That They Be Used
At Polls at Next Gen.
eraI Election.
1T WOULD BE A SAVING.
SHOWN THAT SYSTEM OF VOTING
BY MACHINES is CHEAPER
THAN THE METHODS USED AT
PRESENT TIME.

In order that the votes of the coun-
voting machines, such as it is pro-
posed to use in this county at the next
general election, a sample machine
will be placed at the court house Sat
urday. All voters are asked by the
commissioners to call and register
their votes. An expession of senti-
ment in regard to the use of the ma
chimes is desired most by the com.
missioners, however. 1t has been es-
timated that the installation of ma
chimes will reduce the cost of cleo
tions in this county considerably.
There is considerable sentiment in
volved in whatever decision the COM
missioners may make on the propo-
sition to rent the machines to the
county and permit payments on the
installment plan, the payments in
rentals to be applied to the cost.
1t is estimated by representative
of the United States Voting Machine
company, that the sixy-three precincts
in the fifteen townships of the coun-
ty can be accommodated by twenty
nine machines. One machine is al
loted to each township but Franklin,
Jackson and Wayne. One machine
would be placed at Bethel and the
other at Whitewater in Franklin
township. One machine would be
placed at Cambridge City, East Ger
mantown and Dublin. Wayne town
ship would require twelve machines.
The voters in nine precincts of the
city of Richmond can be vottd on
three machines. 1t has been repre-
sented to the commissioners that the
saving in the cost of an election in
nine precincts of the city by the use
of three machines would be $169.S0.
Cost Is Shown.
The cost of holding an election in
nine precincts by the Australian Bal
lot is estimated as follows: Nine in
spectors, days, $72.00; IS Clerks, 3
days. S10S; IS Judges, 3 days, s10S;
Is Sheriffs, l day, s27; 1S9 Meals.
$3.50; Voting Rooms. s45; Total
S435.60.
The cost of holding election with
the voting machines is estimated as
follows: Three Inspectors, SIS; 6
Judges. $2400; Clerks. s24.00:
Sheriffs, SIS; AZ meals, $16.SO; vot-
ing rooms, SIS; rent of machines,
$50; total cost of election with ma
chimes, s265.SO.
The difference between the two sys-
TENS makes a saving of $169.S0.

CORN SCHOOL IS
A PROBABILITY
All Indications Point to EStab-
Iishment of One in Wayne
County.
MEETING HELD YESTERDAY
PROF. CHRISTIE coNFERs WITH
FARMERS AND FIRST STEPS
TAKEN TOWARD REALIZATION
OF SCHOOL.

Every prospect appears favorable to
the establishment of a corn school in
Wayne county. A meeting of the
farmers and others interested was held
at Centerville yesterday afternoon and
the proposition was launched by Prof.
Christie of the agricultural department
of Purdue University. Committees
were named and the first steps taken
toward a permanent organization. 1t
is planned to hold the school the last
week in January or the first in Febru-
ary.
There was large attendance of
farmers and others interested and
pledges of faithful cooperation were
made. The general impression was
expressed that a corn school is an &C
tual need in this county and it will &C
complish results that can not be Sc
cured in any other way. The plans
were laid before the meeting by
Prof. Christie, and a general discussion
followed. Every speaker spoke of the
gains to be derived and asked for an
opportunity to show their Willingness
to lend support.
The system to be followed will be
identical with that taught in the agri-
cultural department at Purdue The
school will be in session one week and
the small fee of ST will be charged.
The corn school of this county will be
first was held at Rushville last year.
1t proved success and it was announc-
ed at the time that other schools
might be attempted.
The morning sessions are to be de-
voted to the work in scoring corn.
and live stock and instruction in do
mestic science. The afternoon hours
will be occupied with lectures. The
work of scoring corn and live stock
will be practical and demonstrated by
actual experiment. The ability to
score corn correctly is regarded by ad-
vanced agriculturalists as a science,
The evening sessions will be devoted to
a continuance of the lectures and en-
tertainments
To attend to the preliminary details.
a committee has been appointed 1t
will solicit membership also. This
committee will have one representa-
tive in each township, who will look
after the interests of the school and at.
tend to the matter of publicity.

MAURITANIA BRINGS
S4O,OOO,O0O IN BONDS
Fact Did Not Leak Out Until
Today.

New York, June 20.-Although the
steamship Mauritania, which arrived
yesterday from Liverpool. brought with
her S4oO00,OOo in bonds and securities,
one of the largest single shipments
that ever crossed the Atlantic, the at
tendant proceedings were so secret the
fact did not become known until to-
day.
Whether these valuable documents
have been sent to America for invest
ment or whether they have been with
drawn by Americans from English in
vestment could not be learned. The
precious shipment was carefully
guarded on its trip across the Atlantic
and was moved after reaching New
York. under the supervision of twelve
armed detectives. 1t came from the
banking house of Speyer Brothers of
London, and was consigned TO Laden
burg. Thalman & Co. of No. 20 Broad
street. although the real consignee is
Henry Hyman.

RACES ARE DOOMED
Two Meets in Different States
Called Off on Account of
Opposition.
RACE BETTING, GAMBLING.

Baton Rouge, La, June 20.-The
race track fight was sharply renewed
by the unexpected action of the SEN
ate in reconsidering its vote of Thurs
day which had definitely postponed
consideration of the Cordill bill tht
measure favorable to racing in Lou
isiana. Some of the Locke anti-rac-
ing bills friends were absent yester-
day and after its consideration had
been postponed the faction which
favors racing won their victory on
the Cordill bill by a vote of IS to II.
The Locke bill has been scheduledfor
final passage Monday night

MITCHELL SURE TO
MAKE HIS DEBUT
Friends Will Force Him Into
Political Arena This
Year.
WHICH SHALL IT BE-?
WILL HE CHOOSE IN FAVOR OF
WASHINGTON OR THE GUBER-
NATORIAL NOMINATION IN
ILLINOIS,?
WHICH SHALL IT Be?

Chicago. June 2O.-The political ac-
ton of Labor has been called to meet
at Springfield. Sunday with the more
or less avowed purpose of forming an
alliance with the Illinois democrats on
the basis of John Mitchell as the DEM
ocratic candidate for governor in Illi-
nois and several strong labor planks
in the democratic state platform.
There will also be considered at
Springfield Sunday a demand from
leaders of the democratic party that
Mitchell be placed on the national tick
ct with IN. rather than at the head
of the IAois state ticket 1t is as
sered by the members of the A. F. of
l.. executive council that the nomina-
ton for the vice presidency on the
democratic ticket at Denver has been
offered Mitchell.
There is a division of opinion as to
what Mitchell should do, but the indi-
cations are that he will be put for
ward in the Illinois fight. The nom.
nations in Illinois will be made Aug.
ust s, by primary election.
Mitchell is entirely in the hands OF
his friends. He will respond to their
call if they make it loud enough. He
refused today to make any comment
on the meeting called for Sunday.
Should he be announced as a candi.
date for the democratic nomination in
Illinois, which he can have by simply
indicating that he will make the race
it will not necessarily remove him
from the list of vice presidential posi-
bilities at Denver next month. and
many here believe that the ticket
which will be nominated there will be
Bryan of Nebraska and Mitchell OF
Illinois
In either the national or state field
he will appear in the campaign this
year as a stump speaker and spell
binder.

800 MAY Be DEAD
A Fierce Tornado Plays Hav-
0c Off the Coast of
Spain.
INLAND DAMAGE WAS HEAVY

Madrid, June 20.-Two hundred
and fifty people killed in the Mega
fouro district of Portugal and $50 sail
ors and fishermen drowned on the
Portuguese coast is believed to be the
death toll of fierce tornado that ragged
over the coasts and part of the inland
of those countries.
The storm swept the peninsula with
terrific havoc. Most Of tie shipping
along the affected coast was destroyed.
while inland crops and buildings were
ruined and thousands of people rem
dered homeless. Reports of fatalities
are coming in rapidly and the esti-
mate of 800 may prove too small. The
region affected is populated for the
most part by the poor people and their
destitution threatens famine. Relief
measures are being planned.

COURTED GIRL FOR
JUST THIRTY YEARS.

New York, June 20.-On the
Cretic bound to the Mediterranean,
sailed today Judge Charles Post, of
Guilford, Conn. and his bride, who
was Miss Fannie NJ. Bill, daughter
of the late Mr.. and Mrs. Palmer
Bill, of Norwich, Conn.
After a courtship lasting more
than thirty years, Judge Post and
his faithful sweetheart were mar
ried at Norwich, Thursday.
The reason they didn't wed be-
fore was that the bride was so de-
voted to her parents she couldn't
leave them. She made a vow that
she would never wed until both
were gone. The death of father
and mother within a year releases
Miss Bill from her VOW.
Judge and Mrs. Post will spend
their honeymoon in Italy, Switzer-
land, Germany and England, re-
turning in the fall.

fashion themselves are somewhat uncer-

Then. again. the directoire style made
with short skirt is incorrect. and now that
the French women have adopted the pen

Is impossible with certainty 20 foreteU the
absolute popularity Of a style which does
not look well for street wear. FoF after

tea parties at Rumplemeier's and the Co

than the long sweeping skirt Of modified
