CULTURE BOARD.

A writ of supersedeas affecting
Judge Carney's injunction on the
baald of agriculture referendum, was
granted by the supreme court Thurs
day afternoon, and the question of re
ducing the size Of the board cf agri-
culture will now go before the voters
in due form on August 8.
A supersedeas bond, usually re-
quired under such conditions, was
waived by agreement between attor-

Of agriculture who opposed the super

Immediately.
On the application of attorneys rep

have raised grave question as to the

SULPHUR VOTER
TALKS BILL 60
CONTINUOUS AGITATION HURT
ING MOST IMPORTANT DEPART
MENT IN THE STATE.

The injunction granted against the
state election board and the different
county election boards of the state
enjoining them from sending out to
the voters State Question No 60,
which is intended to recall the pres
ent board Of agriculture was dis
solved by the supreme court of the
state and the tickets will be sent
out.
A gentleman here today from Sui
phur was discussing the question and
said "There is scarcely a man in
the state who understands that ques-
tion will vote to reduce the agricul-
tural board to five members, but
there are so few who have looked
into the merits of the question that
it will likely carry. The average
voter when he sees an opportunity
to reduce the membership on the
board he will declare himself for re.
duction and vote for the measure.
Campbell Russell knows how to state
his questions so they will appeal TO
the prejudices of the people and
there is chance for him to win in
this fight. Here is the meat in the
cocoanut The agricultural board was
recalled less than a year ago. Camp
bell Russell is responsible for their
recall another board was elected,
and before they have served for a
period of six months Campbell Rus
sell word recall this board. The
board consists of some of the best
men in this state, they have agreed
to do. a vast amount of work on a
salary of $50 a month Chat is the
maximum amount they can draw
and if the people keep on harrassing
the board with recalls it will get in
such a muddle that the good men of
this state will not take positions on
the board. If the people understood
the matter they would vote no on
that question almost solidly."
Senator Shaw said he voted to have
this question go before the voters and
was ashamed of his vote in thirty
minutes after it was cast. He said
this bill would put the board in poll
itics when it ought to be kept out
of politics.

LARGE CONFIDENCE IN
GROWTH OF LOWELL

The new Harrison building at Low
ell. which will be one of the finest
store buildings in the Warren dis
trict, Is rapidly taking shape. The
rear wall and a side wall have al
ready been poured and much Of the
plumbing has been completed.
All the material for the building,
with the exception Of the plate glass
fer the windows, which will not be
needed for some little time yet, has or
rived and is on the ground The
iron pillars for the front of the build
ng. together with the doors, metal
corniees and a large part OF the fix
lures have come from George l. Mes
ker & Co, of Evansville, O. This
city suffered considerably from the re-
cent foods and il was feared thar
shipments might be delayed, but all
the supplies have arrived right on
time
II was learned yesterday that the
Harrison building now under construc-
ton viii probably be only the first
unit in a number Of buildings 10 %
put up by that firm in Lowell. thus
demonstrating the confidence in the
growth Of the city. The Harrison
company owns long strip of land
adjoining the present building and.
as a first step TO improving this. Il
is announced that the cement side
walk viii be laid in front of the new
store Will be extended along the street
in front OF the vacant property for a
distance OF about $50 feet This will
make a total, including the walk in
front OF the store, Of about 20 feet
and will cost around $500. The south
wall OF the present building will be OF
steel so that a second unit can be ad-
ded. The second unit would be step
up as the ground gradually rises 70
the south and the third would also be
a step up.
The Harrison company does not con
template the immediate erection OF
other buildings. but the Improvements
being made plainly show that this en-
terprising company, fully convinced
OF the future OF Lowell. Is making ev-
cry arrangement for future expansion.
Regarding the building now under
construction, applications for stores
are being received daily and the Har-
rison company VIII have the building
filed and a waiting list the day 1t is
opened. II is just the class of build
ing that has been needed by lowell
