At the Paying Tellers' Windows

When these bags were opened it was
 observed by onlookers that they con tained packages of gold certificates. In some cases there was small amount of gold coin. These gold certificates and the gold coin. which had been utilized to make up fractional part of the allotment of the bank, were rapidly counted and then receipts were given by the tellers. These receipts were good for use at the comp troller's office of the city of New York, and there was no hesitation about making immediate use of them, for as soon as the messengers received these receipts they hastened away to the office of the comptroller for the purpose of securing

COED TEAMLAkD
IN final DEBATE
Augustana Young Women Sur
prise Young Men With Force
of Their Arguments.

The two preliminary debates be
tween the four debating clubs at Au
gustana college have been held and
now preparations are being made for
the finals. Last evening the debate
scheduled between the Gladstone and
the Webster clubs was held and the
Webster won by a unanimous deci-
sion. About a week ago the Edward
Everett won out over the Balfour and
the two winners will compete about
the first week in May.
1t was somewhat of a surprise to all
the clubs that the Edward Everett
(coeds) should win over the
boy clubs and as TO what the decision
will be in the finals IL is hard to esti-
mate. The Webster team admit that
they will have to put up good fight in
order to win as the girls showed eX-
ceptional strength in the preliminar-
les. The preliminaries were secret
but the finals will be open to the pub
lie and the attendance will no doubt
be large. The question will be the
same as in the preliminaries, "Resoly-
ed that the Fraternities and Sorori-
ties Should be Abolished from the Col
leges and Universities"

Friends of Senatorial Candidate

Promised Backing.
BRYAN ALSO MAY ASSIST
Candidates Are Preparing to Open
HostiIities All Along the Line
Next Week.

Chicago. Ill. April 1O.-Governor
Dunno is preparing TO get behind Carl
Vrooman as the state administration
candidate for the democratic nomina-
ton for United States senator.
The report. which came from the
candidates friends, is that the gov
ernor and Mr.. Vrooman were in a
long conference at Springfield on Sun
day. and the latter came away with
the assurance that the executive
would throw the full strength OF the
administration to him. He also was
confident the governor had abandoned
State Senator-W. Dun Piercy of Mount
Vernon as a possible starter in the
senatorial race.
Topping this. the news arrived in
Chicago through a man close to Sec
rotary of State Bryan that Mr.. Vroo-
man in all probability would be the
one candidate now. in the field in
position to obtain the active support
of Mr. Bryan in the impending sena-
toriaI campaign. II was stated that
the secretary could find it possible TO
take the stump for Mr.. Vrooman
against II. c. Sullivan.
The word brought in from Spring
field by the Vrooman emissaries was
responsible for much political specu-
lation. 1t indicated the governor had

abandoned a neutral policy, such as
has been assumed by President VIII
son on the Illinois senatorship. and
that he had reached the conclusion ne
must pick a downstate man. 1t also
suggested there has been a decisive
break in the friendly relations sup
posed to exist between the governor
and the democratic state organization
controlled by friends of Mr.. Sullivan.
Governor Wastes No Time.
II is reported further that the execu-
tive had speeded up and arrived at a
friendly understanding with Mr.
Vrooman before the management OF
the Wilson-Bryan league had decided
which candidate the league will sup
port in its determination to defeat
Sullivan at the September primaries.
The program had been, as stated by
Wilson-Bryan league officials, that in
dividual anti-Sullivan candidates would
be granted the opportunity for try
out over the state and the one to be
backed by the league would be chosen
by a referendum vote some time in
July.
After this announcement Mr.. Vroo-
OpGHtu NCi .
and is conducting his campaign on his
own account. His statement was,
however, that he expected to cooper
ate with the WilsonBryan league on
all reasonable propositions.
Politicians Figure on Reasons.
1t is figured by politicians that the
governor and his political lieutenants
preferred to choose some other candi-
dates than Senator Piercy, because of
local political conditions south of
Springfield. On the other hand the
state senator may have withdrawn
from the senatorial race voluntarily,
with the exception of becoming the
administration leader in the senate in
next winter, thus paving
he way to his nomination as a down.
state candidate for governor in 1906.
Announcements from all of the SEN
atorial camps indicated the candi-
dates are preparing to open HOSTILE
ties all along the line some time next
week.

Conflicting reports have been
received of the fighting at Liege.
A French telegram states that
fierce fighting continues in the
street, while London message
reports the German attackers
asking for an armistice of twen-
ty-four hours, and declares the
Germans have acknowledged a
loss of $4,000 men. Another re-
port says the attack on Liege
has been abandoned.
The British Admiralty says no
battle has taken place in the
North Sea, though reports re-
ceived in London tell of a defeat
by the English fleet of the Ger
man warships.
Washington has issued an
order to prevent the sailing of
any ship being converted for war

servists in organized manner.
Movements Of troops generally
are being kept secret, and re.
ports received of clashes at many
points on land and sea are of a
rather indefinite character.

ENGLISH VICTORY REPORTED.

ENGLISH VICTORY REPORTED.
Special cable, London, Aug,
6.-The first naval engagement
between English and German
ships in the North Sea has re-
suited in victory for Great
Britain The battle took place
Wednesday off the Dutch coast
and lasted five hours. Seventy
English sailors were wounded
and it is reported more than 100
Germans were killed.
The ships engaged were those
of England's third Votilla and a
flying squadron Of German yes
sells which had been sent out to
protect the mine laying opera
tions of German ships. The liner
Koenegin Luise. which had been
equipped with mine laying par
aphernalia, was sunk by the Brit
ish, and a short time later two of
the German boats surrendered.
The Amphion, flagship of Eng
lands fotilla, was the only Brit
ish ship that sustained any no.
ticeable damage. Her batteries
were put out of commission tenn
porarily by an exploding shell.
It was the new British torpedo
destroyer Lance which sent the
Koenigin Luise to the bottom.
The Koenigin Luise was caught
laying mines sixty miles from
Harwich.
The Lance fired four shots.
The. first two were fired over the

CAUSE OF The WAR.

After almost a half century of
jealous hatred between the two
nations, Austria has at last
found an excuse to fly at the
throat of her little neighbor king
dom. Servia, the thorn in her
side. The assassination of Aach-
duke Francis Ferdinand, the
crown prince of Austria, at Sara
java, Bosnia, a month ago, is
not the cause of the present
trouble. 1t is only the pretext
used by Austria for a campaign
of revenge and conquest that
has been planned for years. The
Austrian Ultimatum to Servia
did not come as a surprise to
those who have been following
the diplomatic meneuvering in
southeastern Europe for the past
10, 20 or 80 years.
Austria has never been able to
forgive Servia for existing at all,
and Servia has always resented
her big neighbours stubborn op-
position to her own schemes for
development for over 25 years
jealousy and enmity between
these two nations have fed on
each other; for over Is years
each has irritated the other in
all the numberless ways known
to skilled politicians; for over Is
years each has been held in
check only by the pressure of
outside influences. But the
tragic death of the heir appar-
ent placed in Austria's hands an
excuse so powerful that she
dared to use it as a weapon.

The business of a lawyer most

twenty-eight were recorded

At the head of our editorial

At the head of our editorial
columns can be found the names
of the gentlemen who make up
the Democratic ticket, to be voted
for at the November election.
They are gentlemen of sterling
character and should receive the
united support of the Democratic
party. So far as we have been
able to learn there will be no
kickers in Adair county, every
Democrat supporting the ticket
with good grace. The Beckham,
Stanley and McCreary men are
all together and will march in
solid FLANK to the polls the 3rd
of November, on Tuesday after
the first Monday. During the
canvass men differed, and
there was some valiant fight
ing, so to speak, by friends of
all the candidates, but the nomi-
nation of former Governor Beck
ham settled all disputes, thereby
bringing about a united Democ-
racy in Adair county. We take
it that the same feeling pervades
the whole State, and that Mr..
Beckham will receive a hand
some majority over Augustus E.
Wilson at the November election.
Hon. Rollin Hurts majority over
Judge J. P. Hobson, is close to
forty-fve hundred. There were
only twenty-eigh Hobson men in
Adair county, all of them being
Hurt men at this writing. Judge
Hurt has received many letters
of congratulation from over the
district, and from what we can
learn the counties that support
ed the EJizabethtown candidate
are now in line for Adair's can
didate. There are no sore spots
on Judge Hobson, as he has con-
graduated Mr.. Hurt on his nomi-
nation. The Democrats of Ken
lucky should be proud of its
State and district candidates, all
gentlemen whom we believe will
be triumphantly elected in No
vember.
