The Republican Mass Convention,

day, the 10th.
Judge Edward c. O'Rear went in
to the Convention with fully hun

lot, but no nominations we're made
In either of the two sessions, Tues
day, owing to the delay on the part
of the Committee on credentials in
making its report
Two parties were soon found to
exist in the convention-one desir-

other wishing to saddle upon the

position that finally prevailed, &C

Another matter that is delaying the
convention is the selection of candi-

out from the first for the cleanest

This is the finest collection of
material on Kentucky history In

ing how Theodore Roosevelt came
to consult 1t In writing his famous
book on the winning of the West"
He went through things like a whirl-
wind, turned over the leaves Of
book or a manuscript and had it at
glance.

The grain dealers and elevator

recently issued bulletin-bulletin

In quite per cent Of the wheat
receipts from various localities, weed

Realizing the difficulties in es-
tabllshing rules that would cover
all cases, inspectors will be govern
ed as follows:
Wheat containing as much ab
one-half Of one per cent OF the above
and good enough in all other re-
spects to carry the No. 2 grade,
should be so graded, but should you
find a greater per cent that the

can be found in the state and they
question whether ten per cent OF the
wheat grown in the state will grade
better than No. cr sample. As all
weed reed and screenings are made
into feed stuffs, and command a
good price on the market, IS there
any reason why the shipper should
not receive some compensation for
