Are In Great Despair.-Attorne
General Jackson has ruled that any
one who filed nomination papers with
the secretary of state for the August
primaries cannot withdraw them, for
they are the property Of the state and
the public. II he choose to run for a
different office after filing papers for
one, he can draw up new papers and
then select one of the offices when
the county clerk makes up the ticket
Jackson's ruling is based upon the
fact that the primary law gives no
chance for person to withdraw his
name for an office after once filing
petitions Of nomination.
Preaching Is Not Teaching.-Chap-
lain ]. d. McBrian Of the state peni-
tentiary has filed an action of man
damus in the supreme court against
James Nation, state auditor, for SIS
pay for services as teacher In the
penitentiary night school, The legis-
lature appropriated money to pay the
chaplain for this work at $50 a month.
Nation paid it until last month, in
which the school only ran eighteen
days. He discovered that the law re-
lating to the penitentiary provides
that the chaplain must look after the
moral and intellectual welfare of the
prisoners. He decided that McBrian
was being paid for such duties and
that he could not receive additional
money even though it was especially
appropriated. McBrian is now suing
for the $1S.

standpoint. The flood has not only
greatly injured this county financially,
but 1t has ruined many Of the crops
depended upon to make the agricul-
Lural end of the fair a success. The
directors canvassed the situation
thoroughly and then gave up having
