Chicago, Ill.,, June 9.-Since
the republican convention re-
sumed IS sessions today, its
time , n taken up in the
nomin speeches.
The .epublican national con-
vention got down to work to-
day after few preliminaries,
at 11:15, the first business be-
ing the reading of the report
of the republican peace con-
ferees who were with the pro-
gressives last night, which was
received with enthusiasm.
Rosevelt's name brought a
three-minute cheer which was
followed Immediately by the
nominations, when Governor
Whitman took the platform to
nominate Justice Hughes.
Whitman was interrupted by a
twenty-minute demonstration favor
ing Hughes. After the Hughes dem
onstraton, Nicholas Murray Butler
was recognized to nominate Root
Governor Willis of Ohio then took
the floor and nominated Senator Bur
ton While Willis was speaking, the
sun shone for the first time in foul
days, filling the Coliseum, and the
delegates, weary from the downpour
cheered. 1t was agreed that Senator
Fall of New Mexico will nominate
Roosevelt before the republican con
vention.
When Doctor Butler had finished

CONVEN NT|0N
HALL ALMOST
ACERTA|NTY
MASS MEETING LAST NIGHT DE-
VELoPED SOME REAL, TAN
GlBLE IDEAS PREPARED TO
HELP.

That it would be a matter of great
foresight for the city to secure the
lot on which the tabernacle now
stands was manifest last night at
the mass meeting in that place and
a few patriotic citizens are going to
purchase the lot and tender it to the
city for the purpose of a convention
hall site within the next twelve
months. Ten thousand dollars is
the purchase price and nearly half
of that was subscribed before the
meeting was held and no attempt
was made at the meeting to get sub
scribers, as it was realized that the
balance would be gotten without
much effort.
The concensus of opinion at the
meeting was that sooner or later
Ardmore would have to provide a
place for large meetings, just as
other cities have, and that the prop
erty now being secured must double
in value within a very short time.
No discussion was made as to when
the city should improve the property
but at the suggestion of S. A. Apple,
a committee of five will be appointed
by the Chamber of Commerce to
thoroughly advance the convention
hall idea and at the proper time pre-
sent their findings to another mass
meeting. No immediate action is
expected from this committee, al
though it was strongly urged that the
matter be kept alive.
The meeting was called to order
by Secretary West of the Chamber
of Commerce, who suggested that a
permanent organization be perfected
and moved that G. A. Ramsey be
made chairman. The motion was
seconded by Rev. C. c. Weith, and
he was unanimously chosen.
Mr.. Ramsey, in accepting the chair
commended the object of the meet

Peoples Coming Back
Local Man Fails To Get Good Place
Politicians Promised Him

John C. Peoples, Who went from
here a few weeks ago to Eddyville,
where the states branch pen;tenti-
airy is located, under promise of Gov.
Stanley that he would be appointed
superintendent of the prison farm,
returned to Lincoln late last week,
hunting for a farm to rent so as to
return here with his family. He
found when he reached Eddyville,
that instead of being farm superin-
tendent at 500 according to promise,
he was merely an over-guard, and
drawing a guards salary of SIS a
month upon which he and his family
cannot live. Both Mr.. Peoples and
Representative w. G. Gooch, who
secured his appointment from STAN
ley, as we'll as his host of other
friends, feel that he has not been
treated exactly right. Mr.. Peoples is
a successful and up-to-date farmer in
every way and. splendidly qualified
for the place of Farm Superintendent
which he and his friends thought he
would get.

Counterfeiter Caught
Man Living at Linnietta Springs Had
Spurious Coin Outfit.

F. H. Floyd, of Junction City, is
under arrest at Danville on a charge
of counterfeiting. Secret Service
Agent Schuyler A. Donella, of Louis
vile, and Deputy United States Mar
shall Oscar Vest, who made the ar
rest, seized a complete counterfeit
er's outfit. For some time past this
section has been flooded with coun-
terfeit half dollars, which the au-
thorities contend Floyd made. Floyd
denied making the coin, which had
been passed at various stations along
the Louisville & Nashville railroad,
and at Danville. A search of his
home, the old Linnietta Springs Ho-
tel, at Junction City, however, re-
vealed molds of half dollars, quar-
tiers and dimes hidden underneath
the hearth. He was placed under
$1,000 bond by Commissioner Law
will at Danville and, failing to give
it, was sent to Covington to await
trial before United States Judge A.
M. j. Cochran. He has a wife and
several children. He came to Boyle
county from Pulaski, near Somerset.

Is Cents Destroys
Your DandruH and
Stops Falling Hair
Save Your Hair! Make 1t Thick
Wavy and Beautifully This

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scruf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff 1t robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
is not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight now-any time-will sure
ly save your hair.
Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first APP
plication your hair will take on that
life lustre and luxuriance which is so
beautiful. 1t will become wavy and
fluffy and have the appearance of
abundance, an Incompatible gloss
and softness; but what will please
you most will be after just a few
weeks, when you will actually see a
lot of fine, downy hair-new hair
growing all over the scalp. 81-1

HUNTERS FINED
WHEN GAME WARDEN EMBRY
DISCOVERS VIOLATIONS
w. r. Willis Convicted of Hunting
Without License and Negroes
Shot Rabbits Out of Season

The first conviction obtained in
Lincoln county for violation of the
law against hunting without a IL
cense was secured in county court
here Thursday. w. r. Willis, well
known grocer and restauranteur of
was fined SIS and costs by Judge
Bailey on a charge of hunting with
out a license. The case was prose-
cuted by District Game Warden S.
j. Embry, who was given Informal
ton of Mr.. Willis deed and imme-
diately took out a warrant for him.
1t developed that Mr.. Willis, who
had been feeling i'll, saw some squir-
rels on Joe Chancellor's farm on the
Crab Orchard pike, one day, when
he went out to get a beef he had
bought. He secured permission
from Mr.. Chancellor to kill a few
to make some soup, not realizing
that he was violating the law. As
the case was a plain, open and shut
violation, however, Judge Bailey had
no recourse but to fine him. Mr..
Willis replevied the fine
Judge Bailey had barely finished
with the Willis trial until Game
Warden Embry came in with VIII
Lee and Charles Hooker, two local
negroes, whom he had caught "dead
to rights hunting rabbits out of
season. Rabbits are protected by the
game laws of the state the same as
birds. The colored men ran right in
to trouble by crossing Mr.. Embry's
farm on the Lancaster pike. Lee was
carrying a shotgun and Hooker had
a bunch of rabbits. Lee claimed that
he did not kill the rabbits and Hooker
said their dog had caught them,
which is permitted under the law.
An examination showed, however,
that the rabbits had been shot so,
Judge Bailey slapped fines of SIS
and costs on each of them. Lee re-
plevied his fine, while Hooker went
to jail to serve out his. Game War
den Embry is the Invest man on this
job, that has ever been seen in this
or any other part of the state, and
violators of the game laws are learn
ing of it to their sorrow. If all Game
Wardens were as active in the per-
Torrance of their duties as he, Ken
lucky would never hear the complaint
that the supply of game birds and
small animals has been depleted.
