This will give the various districts the following number of delegates: First district, 4 delegates; Second, 4: Third, 2: Fourth. 3; Fifth, 5; Sixth, 0; Seventh, 8; Ninth, 9; Tenth, 5; Eleventh, 9; Twelfth, 4; Thirteenth, 6. These delegates will prohnblv be chosen by all the districts at the time of the state convention. The four delegates-at-large will be selected by the convention and the delegates will meet by districts and choose their own representatives to the national convention.

Chambers Drake, a farmer living near here, has just recovered from a remarkable ailment, and it is solely to the positive exercise of a strong will power that lie attributes his restoration to health.

Finally he resorted to sugar, and for years never a day passed that he did not consume a pound or more of the raw article. Then his health began to fail. He became emaciated and weak, and his physician informed him that he would die if he did not immediately discpntinue the use of sugar and its produets. He stopped off short and began using plentifully all kinds of sour and tart foods, and, though it caused torture for weeks, he, gamely stuck to the ordeal and is again sound and strong.

mi. McGRATH A.YOUNG MAN OUTSIDE, AN OLD MAN INSIDE

A PECULIAR CONDITION His Vital Organs Are Those of An Octogenarian An AutopsyPerformed. New York, January 19. Encased within a man twenty-three years old, the physicians of Lincoln Hospital, in this city, have discovered the vital organs that belong to an octogenarian. The discovery may be regarded as one of the most surprising in the history of post mortem examination, and, so far as known, stands alone, although it bears some resemblance to the case of the peasant girl, Jeanne Uhl, who aroused interest among French' anat omists about fifteen years ago. William MeGrath was admitted to the hospital four weeks ago, suffering intense pain in the lower part of the back in the region of the kidneys. He had lived in or near New York all his life. There being no excess of ozone in the atmosphere which he took into his lungs, here could not be any abnormal oxydation in his ai'teries, as in the case of Jeanne Uhl. His face was youthful in contour, his skin smooth and he did not appear to be within three years of his actual age. His ailment was diagnosed as acute nephritis inflammation of the kid neys. . He received medical attention and careful nursing, but sank gradu ally ao death. An autopsy was per formed in the presence of three of the hospital staff. The kidneys were examined first and the doctors were amazed to find them shriveled and contracted just as those of a man at seventy years. Then the dissectors found an enlarged liv er that belonged to an octogenarian and not to a boy. Further exploration disclosed a heart grown to a size out of all proportion. Exhibited to a skilled anatomist, with its history concealed, it would be pronounced to be the heart of a man at least seventy five years old, accustomed all his life to hard work. Nature presented another and a stranger abnormality in the hardening of the arteries. His pipes had lost their flexibility. The arterial stream had flowed through them with the sluggishness of old age, while the walls had thiekened and become al most brittle. Only a meager history of the pa tient's previous condition was ob tained when MeGrath was admitted for treatment, but as far as known his habits were good and he was not given to alcoholic excesses, so that Avithout any known cause he died a wornout man in his twenty-fourth year.

St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 19. The Pioneer Press tomorrow will print an in terview with ex-Congressman Joel Heatwole, in which he points out that the Minnesota Republicans are in something of a quandary regarding the method to be pursued in the selection of delegates from Congressional districts to the National Republican Convention. The call for the convention, issued yesterday by Senator Ha.via, xrovides that delegates from Congressional districts shall be chosen in dislrict conventions in the same manner that nomination? f.r Congressmen are made. The Minnesota Congressmen are nominated at primary elections, and there is no provision under this law for the holding of party conventions. Mr. Tleatv.ole suggests that the National Committeemen from this State and the Chairman of the State Central Committee might call Congressional district conventions for the election of delegates. , ti

j AND GETS BRUISED UP '-:td He Tells the Story of the Assault Kofski Hurt Badly Taken Home in Ambulance. J Last evening Charles Kofski, a plumber, called at the plumbing establishment of William Waking, on west Main street, and made himself obnoxious by his presence. Mr. Waking says he was intoxicated and abusive, and that when he ordered him to leave the place he refused to do so. Mr. Waking then went to the telephone to call the police and Kofski interfered and kept him from

using the phone. Mr. Waking left the phone and picked up an old gun and used it quite freely on the head and body of his unwelcome guest, whom he had thrown upon the floor and held there until he had sufficient abuse to hold him for a while. When he got up he found he was badly cut about the head, and Mr. Waking also suffered from bruises about the face. The police were notified and Kofski was removed to his home on south E street and a physician summoned, who dressed his wounds. This morning he had not recovered sufficiently to make any charge against Waking. It was an unfortunate occurrence and all regret that it happened. Mr. Wak- t ing savs he acted in self defense. POOL I ROCK ISLA1 New York Report That Campaign is on to Advance Price of Security. Chicago, Jan .19. It was in the gossip from New York yesterday that a pool had been formed to advance the price of Rock Island securities with James H. Moore as the manager. The Harris-Gates people were reported to be interested and several Chicago houses were free buyers of the stocks. While it could not be learned from houses that are supposed to be the closest local representatives of the Moore party that any pgol had been formed, there is no question that the Moores and Messrs. Reid and Leeds have been active in Rock Island for several days, the b,est results in the way of price movements being attained in yesterday's market. , Rock Island issues did hot advance with the rest of the market during the rise that had been in progress for a month, but the controlling interests became active as soon as the work of arranging for the new bond issue had been completed. It is reported on good authority that Speyer & Co. have agreed to take the $15,000,000 bonds to be issued immediately after the authorization of the $163,000,000. II Issued by tne Dayton & Western.
