REPUBLICAN LEADERS
ASSEMBLE AT CAPITAL

The Leading ngures of the republic
can party will be in Washington the
most of the week for the meeting
of the national republican commit
tee which convened Wednesday.
Although selection of the place
and date for the 1920 convention is
the only business formally before
the committee, the gathering of the
party leaders is expected to bring
out a great deal of discussion of
candidates and policies, with pre-
liminary jockeying which may have
an important bearing on the cam
paign.
Several members of the commit
tee and many other prominent re-
publican officials of the various
states already had arrived Tuesday
night and st. Louis had broken the
ice for the fight for the convention
by opening headquarters. Chica-
go is making a determined effort
for selection as the convention city.
Late yesterday at least four con-
didates' headquarters were at work.
The managers for General Leonard
Wood have reached Washington and
the Illinois delegation trying to get
the convention for Chicago is also
organized for a campaign for the
nomination of Governor Frank O..
Lowden. Friends Of Senator Hard
ing of Ohio are understood to be
planning to take advantage of the
meeting and headquarters for SEN
ator Poindexter Of Washington have
been active for some weeks.

COURT ABOUT OVER

The December term of the Audu-
con County District Court convened
in this city last Monday, Judge o.
ID. Wheeler presiding. On account
of so much probate and equity bus
mess the petit jury was not called
and 1t was thought the jury would
not be needed until next week. This
morning we learned that there
would be no jury cases, and after
hearing a few more equity cases
court will adjourn perhaps until the
second week in January. This
change in plans is due to the coal
situation. The cases of Madsen VS.
Mikkelsen and Sweeney VS. Menden-
hall is on the calandar for today.
The next case to be tried is ohat of
Viewer VS. Milliman, which will in all
probability end the term.
There are several jury cases to be
tried but the Judge felt il was best
to postpone court until more fuel is
in sight. Even though the strike
is settled it will be several weeks be-
fore any coal can be shipped in.
The grand jury was in session a
short time and found one indictment
which was returned against Francis
Claire Eaton of Extra, on a charge
of adultery and wife desertion. He
is in custody and awaiting bail,
