SOME BEAN

While in Missouri last year
Judge H. Clay Mckee, of this
city, was shown a variety of
bean that had reached the en-
treme length of SO inches, or one
yard. Judge Mckee asked for

that if they could grow beans SO
inches long in Missouri, they
ought to grow double that l. lgth
in Kentucky. He planted his
seed this year and while he did

length, he beat Missouri four
inches-he grew one 40 inches in
length which is on display in

STONE DEFEATS GREEK

lack Stone was the victor in a
wrestling match at the Tabb
Opera House last Wednesday
night over Gus Kavaras, kr own
as the Greek Lion"
The Greek won the first fall
after 20 minutes of great strug-
bic. In the second Stone was the
victor after 10 minutes of wrestl-
ing, although the Greek insisted
his shoulders were not to the mat
but DIR. McKenna, the referee,
thought differently and declared
the fall was won by Stone with
the toe hold.
Before the match started an
argument ensued between Stone
and the Greek concerning
whether or not the Greek could
wrestle without shoes or not.
Stone refused to wrestlc him
unless he wore shoes and the
Greek claimed that he never
wrestled with shoes on. Finally
it was agreed to leave the matter
to the audience whose decision
was to the effect that the Greek
must put on shoes. After Stone
won the third fall the Greek rush
ed to the front of the stage and
throwing off his shoes an
nounced that he would wrestle
without his shoes and forfeit
$500 to any local charity if he
did not throw him but Stone re-
fused the challenge prcfering to
wait until another match could
be arranged.
They later signed an agree
ment to wrestle again next We'd
nesday night, the Greek to be
allowed to work in his bare feet
and a better match even than the
first is a certainty. The sporting
editor of the Lexington Herald
will referee.
In the preliminary, Jack HALEY,
of Lexington, threw Harvey
Willoughby, of this city, the first
fall and forfeited the second fall
to Willouhby when he used the
strangle hold, which was barred.
Neither was able to gain a third
fall and the match was pronounc-
ed draw. They will decide the
match next Wednesday when
they will again tackle each other.

Der of animals do SO at the expense

the numbers interfere with the growth
or with the attention that should be

More money can be made with half the

should have chance, and If they are
crowded it is impossible to give them
a good show. Numbers sometimes
are the sole cause of losses instead Of

M'GOvERN SEEKS
RECOUNT OF VOTE
ON j. S. SENATOR
ATTORNEYS START ACTION FOR
REVIEW OF BALLOTS IN SIX
COUNTIES OF STATE.
HUsTING HAS LEAD OF LILO
Democratic Candidate Is Shown Win
ner on Returns From Seventy
one Counties, Seventeen of
Which Are Unofficial.

Milwaukee.-Pa have been fl
ed in six counties by attorneys for
Gov. Francis E. McGovern, republic
can candidate, demanding a recount
of the votes cast for United States
senator. The counties where re
view Of the ballots is demanded are
Milwaukee, Dane, Douglas, Polk,
Fond du Lac and Waukesha.
Demands for the recount will be
filed in each of the counties, as re-
CURED by law, and the candidates
for the office of senator notified. 1t
will be charged in the papers de-
handing a recount that illegal in
structions were issued to election Of
ficials regarding the elimination of
ballots not properly marked
Many Ballots Thown Out.
1t is declared at the McGovern
headquarters that Hastings lead is
only few hundred and that this
will be wiped out If the ballots dis
allowed are counted. 1t is stated that
in Milwaukee county alone 1000 bal
lots were cast out, smany of them be-
cause the voter marked a cross at
the top of the BALLOT, thus voting the
straight ticket, and then split. The
intent Of the voter should govern the
count in such cases, say the Mccoy
ern men who believe their candidate
lost many votes by the ruling
through which these ballots were
cast out.
Although demands for a recount
are filed in only six counties those
at the McGovern headquarters say
additional actions will be taken if
further irregularities are discovered
in other counties.
Although it is claimed by the gov
ernor's friends that only few hun
dred votes separate him from Hust-
ing, the democratic candidate, the
count OF the Milwaukee Sentinel
shows that Husting is leading by
Ito votes. Returns from seven
teen counties out Of seventy-one were
unofficial The totals shown in this
table are: Husting, 134,863; Mccoy
ern, 133,143.
