BY Republican Leaders

Mr.. Smith said that he asked his
colored janitor about the election and
the latter told him that the negroes
expected to do well; in fact better
than they ever have before. snas,
Mr.. Smiths curiosity was excited,
for he knew that the negroes usually
are out early and often to vote the
republican ticket, so he asked the
colored man how they were going to
do better than ever before.
"Why we's each one given dollar
apiece to help buy the white fioaters
votes with" said the negro. 51Bhi
This confirmed reports heard hery
earlier in the campaign to the effect
that the republicans had held severa
meetings of negro republicans, ant
asked each to contribute 81 to use OF
election day. Mr.. Smiths janitol
told the whole story, and Mr.. Smith
pointed to the shame that would conn
upon old Madison if every7democra

Just what the white men whom tn
negroes planned to buy with thei
dollars, think of the matter, is, o
course, not known.

row and his republican leaders di
not hope to win by the honest vote
of the people Of the state, but b

lection entitled "By Power of
Right" They were we'll ap-
plauded for their splendid show
ing. Supt. ]. Howard Payne pre-
sided and in his opening reamrks
outlined some of the hopes of the
high school.
Hon. w. B. Smith formally
presented the deed in a speech
resplendent with fine sentiment
and high ideals for the new
school. He said that school must
make good or the property would
|be taken away from the city and
returned to the Board of Trustees

busy checking off their vote il
the precincts in which there is
r.large colored vote. There was
Crowd of negroes around sucl

and in such numbers and demo
tic workers were greatly en-
couraged as the day wore on.

rollment this year of 40 per cent in
excess of the largest previous attend
ance. In pharmacy registration is 20
per cent greater this year than last.
Accurate figures are not available in
other colleges.
No department in the college of

difficult to accommodate all applicants
for enrolment, but matters are being
worked out satisfactorily and all stu
dents will be cared for, according to
Dean George F. Kay.
In the colleges of liberal arts, edu-
cation, graduate, and applied science
registration was so heavy that classes
could not be held on Monday. Sept.

on which the university would open.
Medicine law, pharmacy. and den-
tistry opened the first Of the week, but
the crowded colleges waited until

Mrs. Lunning could easily have es-

laboriously made her way thru the

Mrs. George Streeter were soundly
sleeping and by pounding on the walls
awakened them.
p . Wife Awakened Him.
Mr.. Streeter, who is steward at the

wife awakened me first. We had re-
tired about 2 o'clock. She SAID
There's something terribly wrong with
Marie. I hear her pounding outside
there somewhere I arose and just
then we both heard the waitress
shrieking, fire, fire, fire.
I'VE heard her go into the bath room
and that was the last we heard or saw
Of her until she was found. dead In

tied bed clothes together and bare

Mrs. Streeter ran across the cinders
and the street barefoot to the homes
Of Mr.. Sears and Tom Lowe and it was
with their assistance that Mrs. Lun-
ning's body was recovered"
Her bed room window was open and
she had thrown her bed clothing or
the roof, showing that she COULD have
easily escaped, had she not come thru
the building to awaken US. We found
her in the bath room just above the
kitchen where the fire was raging and
1t was terribly hot in there. The
windows were open, but she had lost
herself in the dense smoke and hac
fallen, with her head lying toward the
door which was unlocked. One Of hel
hands was burned to the bone, where
she had come in contact with a ho'

I'VE tried to reach her, but because
