Untile Will Start Soon. Whether the campaign will now open up in earnest is not known but it is said that thf Knotts men, knowing who heir opponents are, are itching for a good scrap. Although fair rulings characterized the convention there is a little soreness among some of the defeated candidates but this is expected to wear away in the course of a few days.

After fifteen years in business at 9139-41 Commercial avenue, the General Furniture company of South Chicago this month will step out to make room for the Morris Five and Ten Cent store, which has secured a lease on the premises for a long term of years. Since the General's establishment on the avenue, the store has had prosperous career, due to its square deal policy in treating Its patrons. Thou

Yesterday it was noticed by- Dr. Wirelius and the nurse that the young pa
tient's nose and face around the eyes was considerably swollen, and on opening up the wound and investigating
the doctor found the bones of the fore
head where the fracture was had caved
in, leaving the skull in practically the
condition it was in before the first
operation. At that 'time the use of
plate to hold the bones in place was considered, but it was finally decided
that bones would knit without the as
sistance of a plate, owing to the youth
and otherwise healthy condition of the
patient. Unfortunately, this did not
happen, ana at the operation today a plate will be inserted. Aside from the injury to his head, young Halt is in good physical condition, and according to his mother, who visited him yesterday, is cheerful and happy. Mrs. Hart wishes to thank the friends who have kept Willie's room at the hospital bountifully supplied with flowers and fruit.

During the closing days, on the avenue, the management has placed on sale their entire $37,500 stock of home furniture, with positive Instructions to get rid of it at prices below the actual cost. Since this announcement was made, throngs of thrifty South Chlcagoans have filled the store, which was an evidence of their knowledge what real badgains were like.

Funeral services will be held 'at the

at ten o'clock. Mrs. Evans was notified of the change but -made no effort to
frustrate the plans of Mrs. Bell.
A legal battle for the $300,000 worth of real estate, stocks and bonds which
comprised Bell's estate is expected when the time for settlement comes. , According to Elbridge Hanecy. for several years attorney for Bell, the former packer made a will two years ago which he gave to his attorney to keep. Judge Henacy refused to divulge the provision of the will. Relatives of Mr. Bell denied any knowledge of a will, but Mrs. Evans was better informed as to the state of affairs, according to several of her friends. She had told friends that she would be "well cared for under Bell's will." Ills Oaly Friend. - She asserted that Bell had told her

Saj It Was Bad Blase. "I have fought many a blaze,, said
Captain Thompson of the Chicago fire department, "but the one at Michigan
City last night was as stiff as any of them. When we left Chicago we were told that the entire city was in jeopardy. Believe me, the authorities made
no mistake when they sent out calls for assistance.
"When we got there the flames were
sweeping an area of about eighteen blocks. We had to lead out our lines about 2,500 feet. But if I do say it myself, we did some pretty effective work
and the people there realized it. The Michigan City boys did well to confine the blaze as they did. You see they have not the' appartus and facilities for fighting fires that we have In Chicago."

mour where they were to be enter- j tained at diner by local Democrats. The '
editorial party consisted of sixty per
sons, and preparations were made for
that number at Seymour. But when the
car arrived there was a crowd of 125
persons, including the hangers-on and politicians who had fastened them
selves on the party like a lot of leach
es. The result was that there was a bad mixup at Seymour, and although the politicians and statemen made sure of getting seats at the dinner table a number of the editors and their wives were unable to find any place to eat. The local committee was terribly emharassed over the affair, but it could not do a thing. The moochers refused to stand aside for the real guests. There was a dinner at Louisville, also, in honor of the editorial party, and the committee went so far as to arrange to take care of 250 persons. But when the crowd arrived there were no less than 325 in the party, the hangerson and cheap'vjolltlclans having multiplied until the editorial party itself was but a small fraction of the crowd. The Louisville people stood for it however, and fed all of them. , At New Albany the statesmen and
