EXCAVATION WORK

Fair weather is suitable to con-
tractors. Work Of excavating for water
mains on Second street, which will yet
require some time, will record the close
of this work, much to the satisfaction
of the contractors and residents Ct the
city. The finishing of the work south
past Main street will enable the street
paving work to be taken up without
interruption. After Main street is
passed, there will be nothing to hinder
the start of the paving work except
the failure of some machinery to ar
rive, and this is now coming in al

WOODS FRIENDS CONFIDENT

Chicago, June 10.-While the Low
den forces from Kentucky, under the
leadership of National Committeeman
A. T. Hert, have occupied the center
of the stage so far, the little band of
Kentucky supporters of General Wood
show far more confidence now that
the result of the convention will be
to their liking.
Marshall Bullitt, Sheriff w. E. Ross,
Arthur Hopkins and Robert E. Wood
came over to look after General
Woods interests in the Kentucky del
egation. With Mr.. Hert as the big
boss of the Kentucky delegation, they
had to take stand on the outside.
Since the slump in Lowden's for
tunes, following the revelation of the
use of money in the Missouri delega-
ton, the Wood supporters have ac-
quired all the confidence that former
ly belonged to the Lowden leaders.
They are confident in the final test
that Hitchcock will put it over on Hert
and point to what has already happen
ed as proof that Hitchcock is the best
strategist in the convention.

she was impressed with Million and
the kilograms, and parted with her
diamond ring and money when he is
said to have promised to make money
for her.
"Two charges of obtaining money
under false pretenses were filed
against Million. The case was con-
tinued in police court until June 10,

ton Thursday Night

Thusrday morning at 9 o'clock,
the last chapel exercises by the
Senior class for this term, were
held. The meeting of some of the

a degree of good fellowship
reigning at this time that reflects
rare credit upon the most excel

instructor to the president.
The Presidents reception
Thursday night. which will be
held at his house from s to | l will
record an event long to be re-
membered by those in attendance

acterized the closing term of the
school.
On Friday afternoon. the final
business meeting OF the Alumni

by the Alumni reception and ban

$50 chickens, yet she has evidence
showing that since the first of the
present yead she has disposed of 500
dozen eggs up till June 1. This is not
all, for Mrs. Moore stated modestly
that forty dozen had been used for
home consumption and again, speak
ing Of eggs, she has incubated about
500. She also is the possessor of an
account at the bank showing about
| 5000 to her credit, all from eggs and
chickens produced, Mrs. Moore has a
systematized manner of selling her
eggs, and did not dispose of them at
fancy prices, she giving out the state
ment that they averaged but 81 cents
per dozen. The count was kept accu-
rately, since the chicken business is
speciality with her, and she was try
ing to find out something about the
much mooted question, "Is there mo-
