kins of Bement was today selected by
the republican caucus as the party
nominee of speaker of the general as
sembly. The effort of Representatives
King, and Wilson to throw their
strength in the caucus to Hamilton
brought about combination of the
other candidates, which resulted in Ad-
kins' success. Before the final 4 ballot,
the fifth, sixteen Shurtleff men walked
out of the conference and later refused
to attend Or participate in the caucus.
It is not yet known whether these bolt
ers will support Adkins in the house
election. Without their support Adkins
cannot be elected by republican votes.

when Shurtlefts' followers announced
they would vote for him. The an

settlement of the preliminary
wrangles.

they term the alleged insincerity of ad-
ministration supporters.
Ten minutes later Roy O. West Of
Chicago, as chairman Of the republi-

republican house caucus to order in

licans responded to their names on the

short of the constitutional majority
necessary to elect presiding officer

With sixty-fve republicans holding

This season sets in very much
as it did in 1894. That year
the last rain fell in this section
was on July 3rd and quite light
at that. The ground is in bet
ter condition this year owing
to the heavy spring rains, the
corn looks remarkably well con-
sidering the long drouth.
Wheat is injured, and pastur-

Potatoes will be short and small
and about the same as oranges,
selling now at retail at 75c per
peck. Unless rain comes soon
all kinds of produce will be cut
