MAKING UP TICKET.
Democrats Hold Caucus to Select Cam
didateS.

Three Democrats were suggested for
sheriff at a meeting last night of the
Shawnee Democratic central committee.
Aside from the scramble for sheriff, the
running for public jobs by minority mem
bers promises to be quite tame.
Candidates for all connty Jobs were sug-
hotel. but several of the places on tie
ticket are yet to be filled ]. w. Bell
Frank B. Simms and-W. E. Schlichter
were named as the probable candidates
for sheriff In a statement to repre-
sentative of the State Journal, SimmS
Gently stated that under present condi-
TONS be would not be a candidate.
L. NJ Penwell will be the party norni-
nee for representative from the Thirty
fourth district, while w. H. Coultis, of
Berryton. will be the candidate from the
Thirty-fifth. Other candidates -sugges ted
are: w. E. Atchison, county attorney;
John Pugh, clerk of the district court;
commissioner, city district, j. H. Ulsh;
country district, F. A. Pratt of Waka-
rusa; probate judge, w. H. Kemper; reg
lister of deeds, B. G. Walker; marshal
urer, ]. A Davis.
1t is possible that the Democrats will
not put in nomination candidates for the
offices of county superintendent or dis
trict judge. John F. Eby, the present
has made a very COM
mendable record-even from a Demoera tic
standpoint-and the minority expressed
an inclination to give him another tern.
The same sentiment prevailed concerning
tendency to give both Judges Dana and
Whitcomb another term without opposf-
ton in expression of their records on the
bench. This is Whitcomb's first term, ne
having been appointed by Governor
Stubs a year ago when the new court
was created by legislative enactment
After considering the list of county can
didates, the committee endorsed Mrs.
Ella S. Burton for the Democratic nomi-
nation for state superintendent. The
mittee will meet again next Monday night

DESIGNS
There Are Thousands of Them, No
Two Alike.

This week the reading room of the city
library is filled to overlooking with Prof
Max Hagendorn's exhibition of original
designs. The collection of thousands of
designs, no two of them alike, is highly
interesting even to persons who have no
idea of the motif or Significance of the
work. There are designs for fabrics, wall
papers, frescoes, metal work, jewelry
book covers book plates, china decora-
ton and a dozen other purposes. One of
Prof. Hagendorn's most interesting ex-
hibits is a series of drawings of plants
and flowers, which he drew for a
botanical work which has been adopted
by the public schools in Texas. Some Of
these plates explain the transition of the
original flower or plant into the convcn-
tional design used in decorative work. The
flowers are drawn from nature, and co.,
ored perfectly.
In the Hagendorn collection are over
1000 conventional designs of highly artistic
and decorative value, and the whole COL
lection, with the addition of a few now
being drawn will be put on exhibition in
New York after the Topeka exhibition.
During the exhibit by local artists
which ended last week, it is estimate1
that about two thousand people VISITED
the exhibition. Prof Hagendorn's oil
paintings were a feature of the show, and
a visit to the library this week will be in
tersting just to note the wide range IN
art.
