THEY WERE EXCITED.

Chicago, June 11. —A rumor that Chairman Will Hayes had called a general conference of presidential condidates here yesterday caused great excitement in the headquarters of all the candidates, chased the legs off innumerable reporters and resulted in general all around confusion. Investigation disclosed that none of the candidates had been invited and supporters of each, when they heard of it, were fearfully excited, jumping to the conclusion-— that something was being “put over. There was no basis for. the rumor.

Buenos Aires, June 11.—The United States government has bought 14g000 tons of Argentine sugar. New York, June 11. —Thirtyfour million pounds of sugar will be available for commercial canners and preservers during the five months from June 1 to October 31, A. W. Riley, special assistant to Attorney General Palmer, announced here today. Assurances that the sugar will be provided were.'given Mr. Riley by representatives of the leading refiners. Representatives of the canning and preserving industries told him, Mr. Riley said, that both industries were in a serious condition due to the threatened shortage of sugar. The refiners promised, he added, that the supply would be available at a reasonable price. They expressed willingness to fill the orders of all essential industries but declared the principal obstacle was lack of transportation facilities. The 34,000,000 pounds will be divided equally between the canners and preservers.

WOLVES RUN LOOSE IN PULASKI COUNTY

J. Horner, owner of the Horner Garage in this city, is telling of an incident which happened to him the other day which makes one believe that it would be a wise plan to carry a shot gun with one while out motoring. Mr .Horner, in company with several other men, was driving through the northern part of Pulaski county Tuesday, demonstrating one of the. automobiles for. which he is agent. They had just driven past a farm house, when they saw a wolf run across the road, not'three hundred yards from them, and glancing toward a diteh which was nearby-they saw two more. Mr? Horner and his companions returned to the farm house where they galled . out the farmer and pointed the animals out to him. The wolves did not seem in the least frightened of the automobile, for the other two also ran across in front of them. , Mr. Horner sard he actually forgot he was out selling a car when he saw them, for that was the first time in his life he had ever encountered any.—Monticello Journal. 7T
