CANDIDATES BROKE EVEN IN BAY STATE PRIMARIES.

Taft Gets 18 District Delegates and Roosevelt 10; But Latter Gets 8 At Large. ; v The Massachusetts primaries Tuesday did one very peculiar thing, the outcome* of which can not be foreseen at’ this time. According to the Roosevelt plan a presidential preferential primary was held and the people of the state expressed preference for President Taft by the vote of 71,153 to 74,808, giving Taft a plurality of 3,655. At the same time 8 delegates at large were chosen and all were Roosevelt men. Roosevelt was compelled to make good his preferential declarations and he caused instructions to be sent to the delegated sto the effect that they should cast their votes for Taft. The delegates, however, asseVt that they are not bound by the primary and will vote for either candidate, according to their own wishes. Taft carried 9 and Roosevelt 5 of the districts, securing respectively 18 and 10 of the delegates. If the 8 at large go to Taft he will have 26 and if they go to Roosevelt each of the candidates will have 18, an even break in the state. LaFollette received a total of 1,576 votes in the preferential primary. Roosevelt men are asking a recount in the Bth district and the Taft men are asking a recount in the 9th. The contest for delegates will be waged with vigor during the next two weeks, when it will be practically settled. There are 332 delegates yet to be chosen. Taft’s managers claim that he needs but 77 of these to assure his nomination. The number necessary to choice in the convention will be 540. Ohio will be lively fighting ground now. President Taft’s managers encouraged by the success in Massachusetts and say that it was his defense of himself that saved him from defeat. They will now insist that he take the stump in his own behalf in Ohio, his home state. „

Germs Free But Harmless; For Study In Publis Schools.

Dr. J. P. Simonds, superintendent of the laboratory of hygiene of the state board of health, has completed the "first “germ outfits,” which he has prepared for use of Indiana schools. The, outfits contain microscopic slides, onj which are exhibits of germs of various' kinds, usually those of the diseaseproducing type, and other exhibits of the work of bacteria in many forms of life and matter. The first exhibit which has prepared consists of microscopic slides on which are stained specimens of various bacteria and Petri dishes containing culture media for experiments in the class. All the germs sent with the outfit may, be handled without danger. An oil immersion lens is necessary for proper examination of | the specimens. The bacillus of diphtheria, that of tuberculosis, staphylicoeci and typhoid fever have been inclosed in the first exhibit. The staphylicoeci germs are those which cause boils;

A long list of experiments, with the bacteria in the exhibit as the subjects, has been described by Dr. Simonds for the benefit of the teachers.

COLLEGEVILLE.

. - The members of the Columbian Literary Society rendered a pleasant and very instructive program last Sunday evening. The proposition that it would have been better for the civilization and progress of the world if Russia bad come out victorious in her late war with Japan was debated by Thomas Harrington and Joseph Kenkel. The last named gentleman, who stood in defense of the doughy little Jap, won the debate by superior argumentation and pleasing delivery. The intermissions in the program were filled in with violin selections by Master McGahey and musical numbers by Professor Hovorka and his orchestra.

Last Sunday Mr. L. H. Cavanaugh, of Chicago, paid a very pleasant visit to his son at the college. He was accompanied by Miss Anna and Master Cavanaugh. The Varsity was unlucky in Its initial game of baseball for the season, having lost to St. Viators last Saturday at Kankakee. Although the St. Joe boys succeeded in getting a good number of hits and on the strength of them should have won the game, their opponents were wide awake enough to take advantage of a number of untimely errors and loose playing. The score stood ten to three in favor of St. Viators. The boys are hard at work and they expect, with this week’s practice to help them, to fare better with the Y. lit. I. team, of Lafayette, which is scheduled to play here next Sunday. : J - Rev. T. F. Cramer was hurried to the hospital last week where he underwent an operation for appendicitis. By last report he is doing well and expects to be back at bis work at the college within a few weeks.
