Fats vs. Leans.

A game of base ball which perhaps creatt more meniment than anything of the kind winch has occurred here in many days was played on the College grounds last Thursday afternoon between two chosen teams of local talent known as the fats and leans. The fat team cont-ieted of D. Wasson, H. Pearson, S. Carver, K. C. Smith, W. Drury. J. llochweinder, Billy Morgan, Jim Uritnes and Dan Callahan, while their less corpulent opponents wero George Gregg, T. Johnson. H. Duckworth, C. Tinsley, G. McCluer, II. Gill, J. Fossee, Bob Burbridge and Bert Ramsey Charley Gilbert officiated as umpire while Jake Joel was in charge of the coaching department. The game was one continual rouDd of fun from beginning to end and resulted in a victory for the leans by a 6core of 18 to 0. The game was given for the benefit of Co. and netted the neat sum of §50.

CHEADLE NOMINATED

By the Democracy at Frankfort

Last Wednesday.

The democracy of the Ninth Congressional District met at Frankfort laBt Wednesday and selected Joseph B. Cheadle, of Clinton county, for congress on the first ballot.

The convention assembled in the opera house, which had been elaboratedecorated for the occasion by J. W. Clemson, of this city. District Chairman Morris called the convention to order and the secretary read the call.

E. Livengood, of Covington, chairman of the comm. ttee on rules and organization, reported thai the committee had selected Mr. Samuel Wallingfordi of Hamilton county, as permanent chairman, and Bayard Gray, of the Frankfort Crescent secretary. On taking the chair Mr. Wallingford delivered a speech that was enthusiastically received. lie then introduced the Hon. S. M. Ralston, candidate for Secretary of State, who entertained the convention with a twenty minutes speech. His effort was eloquent and logical and was frequently greeted with wild applause.

Hon. J. M. Seller, chairman of the committee of resolutions, then reported as follows:

We the democracy of the Ninth Congressional District assembled reaffirm our devotion to the principles of the democratic national platform adopted at Chicago 180G. and the Indiana state platform adopted at Indianapolis in June, 1898.

We congratulate ourselves and the people of the whole country on the unbroken line of victories of our soldiers and sailors in the present war which again proves that American brawn, brain and patriotism can and will defend America against aDy and all unjust encroachments on our rights, come Ajroin what source they may.

RKSOLVED, That we adopt the time honored, time tried rooster as our party emblem.

On a call for nominations Clinton county presented the name of Joseph B. Cheadle and Montgomery county placed in nomination John W. McCarle. 1 he tallot resulted:

As "Mr. Cheadle mounted the platform to address the convention the TiptonJ county delegation withdrew frotu the hall. Mr. Cheadle made a few remarks in which he denounced as liars all men who said he ever made the remark that he had spent the best four yc :rs ofjliis life in shooting down democrats. At this point some man in the rear of the hall arose and said: "What we Witnt to know is, do you accept this nomination?'' To which Cheadle replied: "What in the name of common sense do you think I'm here for," and the convention then adjourned.

NOTES.

The convention was not as largely attended as that of two years ago but the enthusiasm was just as great.

Several prominent populists were present and privately expressed regret at the turn affairs had taken. As Mr. Cheadle had accepted the nomination tendered him by the democracy it left them [without a candidate and it seemed to be the concensus of opinion among them that another convention should be called and another candidate selected.

Not a Parke County Allen. A Riverside, (Cal.) dispatch in the morning papers, of July 19, locates A. F. Allen, murdered in Arizona, as a Rockville man, son of a wealthy banker there. There is no banker by the name of Allen in that place, and, while there are many Aliens in the county, tbieman cannot be located. The best known Allen living near there says he cannot recall any of the name that will fit in this case. It is likely therefore that Mr. Allen was from some other Rockvjlle.

Don't Forget to Stamp. County Clerk Sparks desires to call the attention of ministers and justices of the peace to the fact that the new war revenue tax requires a ten cent stamp be affixed to all marriage certificates by the person performing the marriage ceremony. Failure to comply not only invalidates the marriage but subjects the offendiDg party to a heavy fine.

Ieath of Elizabeth Powell. Mrs. Elizabeth Powell died at her home three and one-half miles southeast of the city Saturday evening at the age of 74 years. The funeral occurred Monday morning and the interment was at Pisgah cemetery near New Ross.

REVIEW.

W. B. WALKUP,Supt.

THE FUN IS ON.

The Telephone War is Now on in

Earnest—Arrest Began.

The long expected clash between the city and the Bell telephone company took place Tuesday when two of the company's, men Ed Halpin and Flute McGilliard, were arrested for unlawfully digging in the street near the Diamond laundry office on Green street where they were engaged in erecting a telephono pole. The men were taken before Mayor Stilwell where the Bell people gave bond for their appoarence next Monday morning. This is only the beginning and a warm time is promised before the trouble is ended.

A Misdirected Tip.

Private Joe's personal ambition caused our "tip" to the readers of the REVIEW to miscarry. But the tip was straight and all right and given in good faith at the time it was given out. Our information caroe from a prominent attorney of this city who was just from Chickamauga, and to whom Mr. Allen confided the program and submitted, at the same time, a number of letters on the situation and course to be pursued, which was as given In last week's REVIEW. Later developments however disclosed that Joe's idea of fusion, to land the populist and free silver republicans in the democratic party, had suddenly taken on a new phase and that its promulgation was only to bnild up about him a nuclae for the purpose of landing him in Congress. So Joseph left his garment of good faith behind him and after taking another trip through Boone, and girding his loins of personal ambition tightly about him he declared the program off, thua causing us to default to our readers in the bit of information given. Verily, verily doth the ambition of man fail to make him faithful to his friends and maketh the editor's "tips" to come to naught. .any 'T,

The program will be made up each morning. State Superintendent Geeting will be present one day if possible. Zp,

All school trustees are invited to inspect the institute at pleasure. No teacher who expects to keep in touch with the educational spirit of this county can afford to ignore this work.

Young persons preparing to teach should enroll and give thoughtful attention to each exercise of the institute, as they would gain many valuable ideas in teaching that would be difficult to get elsewhere.

WAR SITUATION.

SANTIAGO IN FULL POSSESSION

OF THE AMERICAN FORCES,

AND THE INVASION OF PORTO

RiCO HAS ALREADY BEGUN.

Other Matters Relating to the Con

flict.

The surrender of Santiago to the American forces under General Shafter took place during the latter part of last week. The American flag was raised on the quarterr of the American consul, and that of Spain hauled down. By the the terms of the surrender, about 23,000 Spanish troops lay down their arms. In the agreement of surrender the troops are to be sent to Spain, and the transportation of them will begin within the coming week. Santiago at present is under the control of the military.

The invasion of Porto Rico under the command of Gen. Miles began last week From 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers, aided by the large war vessels, will uudertake the subjection of San Juan, its principal city and sea port. It is thought that the conquest of this province will be much lees difficult than was that of Santiago. Thts country is much less hilly and mountainous and the fortifications much lesB formidable, and added to this, the sanitary conditions are much better than at Santiago. It is not thought that the time for its subjugation will be aB long nor the work of the soldiers engaged near as difficult. lalk of peace, it is said, is a matter of much discussion in some parts of Spain. There is one party strongly favoring peace, while another just as strongly opposes it. The .Spaniards seem to be a bull-headed, unthinking nation, unable to realize the position into which they are rapidly being driven. War was declared against them just three months ago. In that short space of time they have lost most of their navy, and have had 25,000 prisoners captured of their army, while the American loss has been a trilie compared to this.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 10.—The navy dspartment has received no dispatches from Dewey relating to press reports concerning our relations with Germany, but officios feel much less concern over Germany's attitude, and there is good reason to believe direct assurances have been received from Germany that she would offer 110 obstacles to the execution of our plans.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Julv 19.—Some apprehension is expressed here that the* assumption by the United States government of control of affairsat antiago, may lead to trouble with the Cubans. A few days before the surrender of the city General Garcia sent a committee to General Shaster, informmg him that the Cubans had selected a Cuban named Castillo, for governor of the city. It is plain, however, from the reading of the president's order to Shafter, that it will be along time before thiB officer is allowed to exercise the functions of governor, and it is believed that it is the president's purpose, when the military government he has just elected gives way, to replace it with a popular government, meaning thereby a government for Santiago, chosen by the free vote of the people of Santiago. Some doubt is expressed as to whether this program will be entirely acceptable to that element of the Cuban party, which demands immediate possession of captuned territory, but as the administration is not convinced that this element is neither the most numerous nor respectable in the Cuban cause, it is believed their dissatisfaction will take no more dangerous form than protests and growls.

A New Enterprise.

The electrical appliance factory, belonging to O. C. Irwin, now located at Indianapolis, will be removed to this city in a few days. The plant employs about a dozen men, and was secured through the efforts of tbe business men's association.
