The plans were perfected fortnight
ago at a meeting held in the Office OF
Deputy Attorney General Hastings. II

Senator George w. Sparks, nephew
Of Governor Lea, and Edmund Nit

nection. II is declared, however, that
Mr.. Billany will not cast his lot with

The combine has for its directing
head l.. g. Click, who was recently
dropped by the State Committee when
x-Reprcscntative Alden X. Benson,
OF Dover, was elected treasurer. The
primary reason for the movement is
the general understanding that the Re-

State Senator Simeon s. Penncwill, OF
Greenwood, for Governor: William II.
Head, OF Wilmington. for Congress,
and Frank H. Davis, OF Dover, for
Attorney General.
What may be an adverse condition
in the new body is statement that the
supporters OF Governor Lea for reno
mination will, il the opportunity shall
offer, cast their lot with Pennewill,
providing the latter will come out for
the congressional nomination. While

WOMAN'S LITTLE WAYS.

There Is nothing else on earth 70 cruel as selfish love
 Women always suspect another woni an who doesn't cry easily.
 There are many women who are models of virtue because they are ugly and rich.
 Many a woman who loves her hus- band we'll enough to die for him nags him until he Is glad to die.
 The man who is tied to his wife's apron string has halter around the neck of his success that throttles 1t.
 Matrimony is worth while If only to have somebody on whom you can lay the blame of everything that goes wrong.
 It is hard for a woman to escape her critics If she is intelligent, men call her strong minded; and if she is cheerful. women brand her as light minded
 There is nothing that a woman en- joys so much as secret sorrow that she can tell to her dearest friend when they brush their hair together of night.
 There is small reward for secret virtue. The wise girl is she who darns stockings and pares potatoes in the front window, where all men may observe her domesticity. - Dorothy Dix, in Chicago American.

HOW TO BE HEALTHY.

The following ten rules, says French medical authority, must be ob- served by all who want to be healthy:
 l. Rise early, retire, early, and fill your day with work
 ?. Water and bread maintain life pure air and sunshine are indispensa- ble to health.
 3. Frugality and sobriety form the best elixir of longevity
 4. Cleanliness prevents rust; the best cared-for machines last the long est.
 ,. Enough sleep repairs waste and strengthens; too much sleep softens and enfeebles.
 6. To be sensibly dressed Is to give freedom to ones movements and enough warmth to be protected from sudden changes of temperature
 '. A clean and cheerful house makes happy home.
 S. The mind is refreshed and in. vigorated by distractions and amuse- ment, but abuse of them leads to dis sipation. and dissipation to vice.
 9. Cheerfulness makes love of life, and love of life is half of health. On the contrary, sadness and discourage ment hasten old age

QUICKSAND IN FOUNDATION.
Unstable Soil Adds $5OO,OOO to Cost
of Northwestern Depot.

Chicago Dec. 2S.-A stratum OF
treacherous quicksand underlying the
site of the new $20O0O,O0O station of
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad
now under construction, will add about
100000 to the cost of the structure
owing to the increased difficulty of
sinking the foundation pillars. This
information has been given to the
railroad company by the George A.
Fuller company, which has in turn been
told to go ahead with the construction
of the building at any cost
Interesting pneumatic processes are
now being used to overcome the diff
culties presented by the unstable soil.
Engineers say that Chicago soil is alive
with quicksand in the territory about
the river banks. Two engineering ex-
pcrts who handled the situation in New
York at the laying of two big river
tunnels Of the subway, when quicksand
there furnished the gravest engineering
problem of the kind in the history of
America, were called by telegraph and
are at work solving the problem pre-
scented.

Plans have been perfected by Mr.

TO HAVE COOLING PLANT,
Across Continent Shipments Can Be
Made From Salem.

Salem.-truitgrow are jubilant
over the announcement that a cooling
plant will be erected to handle the
cherry and berry crops of 1909. f.
q, Deckebach, of the Salem ice works
announced at a meeting Of the fruit
growers that his company will erect
a plant with about a seven carload
capacity, and have it ready for opera
ton this year. 1t will be constructed
in such a manner that it can be en-
larged to meet future needs. The es-
tablishment of a cooling plant will
enable growers to ship fresh fruit
across the continent safely
The meeting of fruitgrowers was
held under the auspices of the Marion
County Horticultural society. Horti-
cultural Commissioner w. X. Newell
was the principal speaker. His ad-
dress dealt almost entirely with mar
keting problems.
II, NJ. Williamson of the state
board of horticulture. delivered an ad-
dress upon the future Of the apple in
dustry. In a very exhaustive discus
sion Mr.. Williamson declared that
though large additions are being made
to the apple producing area. there is
no danger of OverproductiOn.

CUBANS IN CONTROL.
Evacuation by American Army Begins
New Years Day.

Havana, Dec. 29.-New Years day
will witness the beginning of the evac-
uation of Cuba by the army of pacifi'
cation, which has been in possession of
the island since the beginning of the
provisional government, in October,
1906. The first provisional regiment of
marines, numbering 900, which will be
among the first troops to leave, are now
concentrating from various posts at
Camp Columbia.
About half this regiment will sail in
January on the cruiser Prairie, which
arrived here Christmas eve, bound for
Newport News The Prairie will return
about the middle of the month and
embark the remainder. The final EN-
barkation will not occur until April l.
The embarkation will be effected with
as little ceremony as possible and it is
probable that their departure will be
made with as little notice as marked
their landing. The purpose in deferrlng
the departure of a portion of the 18th
Infantry until April l has been the
subject of considerable speculation, but
it is believed this was agreed upon at
a conference between Governor Ma
COON and President t-elect Gomez. 1t is
not thought to be a measure of pre-
caution, for which not the slightest
necessity is apparent, but it probabl
is for the purpose of keeping the bar
racks and quarters in good order until
it is possible to turn over to the Cuban
a model camp for occupa-
tion by the new permanent army under
command of General Pine Guerrero, the
nucleus of which will be formed, it is
with the present corps of Gu
ban artillery and 1000 members of the
Rural Guard.
