J. s. WEBSTER CANDIDATE
FOR CIRCUIT CLERK

In the announcement column OF tne
Eagle this week will be seen the an
nouncement of Mr.. S. S. Webster, who
wishes to succeed himself in the Of
flee of Circuit Clerk This news Will
be received with genuine pleasure by
his many friends throughout the
county.
Mr.. Webster has ably, efficiently and
satisfactorily filled the Office of Cir
cult Clerk for the past four years.
Noticeable characteristics of Sidney
Webster are, his good, congenial ma
ture, anxious and willing at all times
to do something for his fcllowman.
If deprived of the privilege of accomo-
dating or doing some one kind act
or friendly service he would be out OF
his clement like a fish out of water and
would pine away and die. 1t is not On
record that anybody ever received a
curt answer from him or was refused
of request within the bounds OF
reason. And in addition to his sunny
temper he possesses the necessary
qualifications to correctly and efficient
ly conduct the affairs of the office. He
is now on the last lap of his first term
and his efficiency has increased with
each passing year.
tho Cf two since
the United States was drawn into the
war, his work was vastly increased on
account of registration and exemption
matters, but he assumed the added re-
sponsibilities and tasks without a muf-
muir and without pay, and buckled
down to the multiplied duties with his
accustomed smile. He has been pains
taking and faithful in the discharge OF
| the duties of the office, and the records
are kept with neatness and absolute
correctness. His past record is a
guarantee of the future. The people
of Lafayette county have been emil
nently satisfied with his past service,
and if he is reelected they full well
know there will be no relaxation cf
| effort or loss of efficiency but rather
an increase in every particular. he
submits his case to the arbitrament o.
| the Democratic electors in party prl-
,naries to be held in August of the
present year.

From various reports it is
stated that the tornado was ty-
pical of those which have start

thier force hundreds of miles
from the point of the origin.
At some points it appears funnel
shaped in others rotating like a
spinning wheel in a pyrotechial
display, tapping the earth and
Iashing it with the tail, uproot-
ing everything in it's patch as it
flies back into the air. The
black clouds darkened every
thing for a distance Of several
miles and could be seen at a
long distance.

Iy in Controversy.
OPEN Conference HELD

The republican members of the Sem
ate in open conference today settled
their differences over the election OF
Senator Penrose Of Pennsylvania and
Senator Warren of Wyoming. as
chairmen Of the committees on finance
and appropriation. respectively. By
a vote of "a to 8 they determined to
support Senator Penrose for the chair
manship of the finance committee.
This brings to an end the long
threatened fight on the part of some
of the progressive republicans to pre-
vent the election of Senator Penrose
and also the election Of Senator War
rem as chairmen of these two i'm
portant committees.
The committee assignments OF the
republicans will be submittd to the
Senate en- bloc tomorrow. 1t Is ex-
pected. by Senator Lodge, chairman OF
the republican conference, and will
be voted upon as whole, the pro-
gressive republicans having abandon

ment, for to a breezy and amusing
plot with an abundance Of humorous
lines and situations are added many
charming melodies. The cast is gen
orally capable and the music well
played by the orchestra under the
direction Of Anton Heindl
The new twist given the old adage
that the course of true love never
runs smoothly comes about by a
scheme worked out by the best man
Of q wedding party to drive away a
former fiancee of the groom by shock
ing her. AS the play has been seen by
Washington audiences before, it is
not necessary to retell the swiftly
moving and complicated story that
brings many surprises and joyously
ends in q triplet Of honeymoons.
This entertainment is a high exam
pie of the art Of playrights, producers
and actors in maintaining vivacious
action required by a farce while al
songs and dances. Doris Arden is a
romantic Mollie, and her voice was
particularly effective in Little Ships
Come Sailing Home" one of the
melOdfc Jewels OF the play. The chic
May Barber was attractively por-
trayed by Helen Bolton. and. with
Hsrry C. Browne. as Hale Underwood,
she was recalled several times to sing

and "A Picture I Want to See" Mr..
Brownies almost boyish enthusiasm
was an important part Of the even
ing's success.
The "Fainting Fanny" welch Of
Florence Shirley was vivacious and
amusing. Edward Cossart. as the de-
tective disguised in evening clothes

The chorus. however, was not up to

Senator Borah's Warning.

Senator Borah Of Idaho. who had led

Senator Warm, warned the repuhli,
cans at the conference today that II
the principles and system OF taxation
which have been followed in the past
by Senator Penrose are not abandon
ed there will be q split In the republi-
can party.
He said there was no personal an
tagonism against tn two committee
chairmen; that the progressives. op-
position was based on marked differ
ences Of views on finance and taxa
tion."
The conference Of republican SEN
ators today was tho hrst open party
conference of senators in the mem
ory Of the oflcials at the Capitol. 1t
was held because the progressive
republicans demanded an opportunity
to make clear their position with re-
gard to the Penrose and Warren mat
ter. Otherwise they threaten to de-
mand q separate vote In the Senate
and to vote against those two SEN
ators.
