THE EvER-GRowING CITY.

oeSlO6 ana out of Lawrence there
is growing up another city. In Oak
Hill cemetery there lie buried 1887
people. OF this number PAL have
been buried the past twelve months.
In Maple Grove there have been SO
burials the past year, making total
or 274 buria's in Lawrence in one
year. Oak Hill cemetery has been in
existence for As years. The average
for all the years has been $50 per
year. With our 241 the past year it
will be seen that our death rate is
increasing. There are buried at Oak
Hill as fine people as the world has
ever seen. They did their work in
the world and did it well. Unequal
of course in their accomplishments,
purposes and ideals but on a level
now. There Is no class distinction, no
ar1stocracy there. Gen. James H.
Lane and Gov. Charles Robinson lie
there and the potter's field holds men

ronment. The city out there on the
hill is growing fast and it is being
recruited from every walk in life.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 14.-The
Independent Democratic convention
met here at noon today with the ma
iority of it's delegates instructed to in
dorse Captain Ben w. Hooper, Repub-
lican nominee for Governor. This
morning it was reported that many Of
the delegates were in favor not only
of indorsing Hooper, but making him
their nominee.
This report was an official answer TO
yesterdays harmony offering by the
regular Democratic State Committee
and to reports that Governor Patter-
sons withdrawal from the regular
nomination would cause "a bolt in the
convention. The independent leaders
confidently predicted that a thousand
or more delegates would vote to keep
faith with their Republican allies.
In addition to acting on the Repub'i-
can gubernatorial candidates today s
program calls for the nomination of b.
A. Enloe, whom the Republicans al
ready have indorsed for railroad com
missioner, election of State Demo-
cratic committee and adoption of a

She was released as soon as Magis-
trate Frederick Kernochan, who mad
adjourned court at o'clock, resumed
his seat She was moreover given
eager apologies by all of the attaches
of the court from Assistant District
Attorney James down, but that did not
compensate her for the humiliation of
being dragged to a police station and
thence to police court without even
a chance to telephone, but that was not
by any means the worst feature of the
case, she explained
"Just think of all the frauds and cor
ruption that were probably going on In

time in that stuffy little room. OF
