Death.

Death, the dry pedant, spares nei-

he forget the solitary blade of grass in
the distant waste. He destroys thor

works. Even the Egyptian pyramids,

days for the children Of Prince Georges
county came to q close at . o'clock this
morning.
At nearly every school there was an
increase In attendance and in many
the question of seating them is a serious
one. This increased attendance Is as
cribed to the compulsory education law
passed at the last session OF the legjsla
ture, which compels every child more
than six years Of age to enter school.
At the local grammar school nearly
$50 pupils presented themselves, but
found but 80 seats available. In me

The democratic convention at Poca

day and finished its work Friday, was
one of the largest and most harmonious
held in the state in recent years. The
only fight occurred on the selection of
national com mitteeman, and matters in
connection with md leading up thereto.
The anti machine forces controlled the
temporary and permanent organization
Of the convention, and selected NJ. ].
Kerr of Fremont county as temporary
and D. W. Greenburg assistant secre-
tary, and this organization was AFTER
ward made permanent. A. w. Hind
man OF Ada was the Elder candidate for
temporary chairman. In the Canyon
county contest both delegations were
seated with Is votes each. This was a
victory for the Elder forces, as without
she 80 votes Of this county it was impos-
aible to overcome the unit rule instruc-
tions given by county committees to DEL
egates, and through which Elder was
re elected by majority of twelve votes.
Had the delegation elected by the Cam
Yon county primary been seated it is
more than probable that the opposition
would have settled on Chairman Kerr
for national committeeman, although
