Eskimo Candy.

Tallow is the Eskimos candy. 1t
is put up in bright red packages made
out of the feet of a waterfowl. The
women cut off the red feet of this
bird, which is called the dovekie, draw
out the bones and blow up the skin so
as to make pouches, which they fill
with reindeer tallow for their little
folk. None Of the food that the Es-
kimos eat seems very inviting to us,
but they are extremely fond Of it and
are very apt to overeat. 1t is said by
explorers who have gone into Green
land that it is no uncommon sight to
see an Eskimo man who has eaten an
enormous meal Of the raw frozen flesh
of the reindeer. seal or walrus lying
on his back and eating blubber until
he cannot move.-Exchange.

KEEPING WATCH FOR

Samuel w. Bedford the missing

Louisville late Monday afternoon, at

others patrolled Fourth avenue with

NEW SECRETARY OF WAR
Newton Baker, former Mayor OF
Cleveland, Named for Place.

Washington, March 6.--Newton
D. Baker, former mayor of Cleveland,
has been selected secretary of war.
He has accepted and is arranging his
Cleveland affairs preparatory to COM
ing to Washington to take up his
duties.
Bakers name has been mentioned
several times in connection with the
position. He was offered the place
when the cabinet was formed but de-
clined.
Mr.. Baker is "A years old. He was
born in Martinsburg, w. Va. At the
age of % he was appointed private
secretary to Postmaster General Will
son in President Cleveland's cabinet.
In the late nineties he moved to
Cleveland. He was elected city So
licitor in 1902 and held the Office ten
years, until he was elected mayor.
At the time of the Baltimore con-
vention Baker was prominently mem
toned for vice president because of
the fight he made for Woodrow Will
son. He has been known for. years
as a leader Of the Ohio bar.

negro delegates present that a major.

negro delegates present that a major
ity were willing to the proposed ar
rangement on the ground that har-
mony was its object and concessions
had been made by all concerned.
The Democratic papers are making
much ado over the incident. The
Courier-Journal, however, says in
their issue the morning following:
1.-The negroes talk of revolving
against their party, but there was no
place for them to go as the Demo-
Gratis did not want them" 1t may
be said with propriety that negroes
with the intelligence displayed in
some of those speeches would never
seek such a landing. 1t was not a
question involving party policy, sim
(ply one of recognition. As we see
it, the District leaders should have
submitted the matter of choice be-
tween aspirants for Delegate honors
to the convention in accordance with
the call of the National Committee
which provides for four delegates
at-large and let the winners take the
plum. a
1t is our opinion that the Creden-
trials Committee at Chicago will de-
mand whole delegate for each Of
the four votes and then another
compromise meeting will be held by
the eight and four of them will be-
come alternates. In this event Phil.
Brown, the negro delegate, will come
into full possession of his 100 per
cent franchise. FRUSSELL.

OHIO COUNTY TO
Vote ON ROAD BOND
PETITION SIGNED BY NEARLY
500 CITIZENS FILED IN co.
COURT HERE MONDAY.

A petition, signed by about 500
citizens of Ohio county, was filed in
County Court here Monday asking
that vote be taken on a bond issue
to the amount of $500, 900, Saturday,
May 20. The bonds are for the pur-
pose of securing funds.to be used in
improving the roads of Ohio county.
The petition is styled, -. ID. Will
liams, ct al, motion for bond cleo
tion," and is signed by people from
several different sections of the coun-
ty. Only $50 names are required on
the petition and the additional sig
natures seem to indicate that the ell
ection is looked upon rather favor
ably.
If the bonds carry in May the
State, under the State aid law, will
put up like sum of 100000 maxi
ing total of 100000 to be used
on Ohio county roads. 1t is said that
Daviess county proposes to pike to
the Ohio county line at Pleasant
Ridge and it is thought that in case
the bonds carry here there is a pos
sibility of Ohio county meeting the
pike at that point and when the pike
is built from Hartford to Cromwell
there will be a good highway from
Owensboro to the Butler county line.
II the bonds are voted there will be
pixies in other parts of the county.

The Republican Convention.

AS predicted three months ago. the
instructions of the Convention were
for Chas. w. Fairbanks, of Indiana.
and eight delegates are sent from the
State at Large to cast their -four, votes
at Chicago. The Hons. Edwin p.
Morrow, of Somerset. Augustus E..
Wilson. of Louisville, Richard p.
Ernst. of Covington, John w. Lang
ley. of Pikesville, Ed G. O'Rear. of
Frankfort, Caleb Powers, of Barbour
vile, Marshall Bullitt. of Louisville,
and Phil Brown. of Hopkinsville. No
alternates were chosen.
It develops that an agreement had
been made some two weeks before
the convention between District lead
ers that the districts should not in
struct, and that the eight gentlemen
above named should go as State del
egates with one-half vote each. They
were able to carry out this program,
except in the 7th and eth. where the
Fairbanks sentiment was strong
enough to assert itself and instruct
their delegates.
For years the State organization
has recognized the $4,000 negro vo-
tiers by giving them one-fourth of the
States delegate vote In the National
Convention and the compromise did
not include that percentage Of pres
tige to which they were accustomed
and some of their leaders protested
to the Convention In strong, though
dispassionate speeches. 1t was
found. however. by a canvass of the
