MOST OF THE VOTES UP TO DATE WERE CLIPPED.

Candidates Urged to Show Their Hands Early, in Order To Demonstrate Strength to Their Friends.

The opening of the second -neck brings still more faces into the Palladium and Sun Telegram contest and jmich activity on the part of several candidates already in. The feature perhaps of the day was the spurt of Frof. Walter S. Davis of the Richjuond high school. Prof. Davis jumped from 44 to 5,055 votes. Prof. Davis Is a great traveler .and it is safe to

pay that should he win no one would enjoy the trip more than he. His presence on the trip Mould be a great pleasure to the others as he could act in the capacity of a guide as far as pointing out historic sights , is concerned. . The teacher's race has every indication of being a contest which will prove the steel of the winning candi

date. Prof. Orville Branson of the j Garfield Is next to Prof. Davis and the j J-oung athletes at the Garfield are j leaving no stone unturned to land the J prise for their favorite. Prof. Josepli J

Jtlchter of the St. Andrew's school is third among the teachers now and he lias a splendid corps of pupils working for him. Prof. W. O. Wissler of the Garfield continues to poll nicely.

Among the women teachers Miss Imcile Mayer takes the lead having polled in excess of 2,000 votes ever Sunday. Miss Elizabeth Sands draws many supporters, however, and is still within easy reach of Miss Mayer.

In the woman shop employe's class Miss Hodskin of Cambridge Ftill stands considerably ahead. Miss lanner of the Seidel Buggy company Is making the race with the intention of going to Jamestown and if it comes to a fight between Miss Hodskin representing Cambridge and Miss Danner Richmond, Cambridge will have to "hustle. It is to be regretted that more Ttich.mond young men employed in shops have not entered the contest. There are many who are very popular end would stand a splendid chance of Vrinning. The Clerks Race.

In the clerks race there have been a few withdrawals only to have their places taken by other clerks. Miss Hersaey who took the lead at the start ttill holds it. A number of Miss Anna Saxton's friends, it is said have promised to work hard for her and she should make a good race. Among the men clerks Harry Puntin. keeps the top position with Howard Thomas second. Here is given some advice which will apply to every candidate. Begin to work early. Don't hold back votes. Show yonr hand. There is every reason for doing so. Your friends may be eorneone else's friends. Your friends are not going to support you if you

beyond all hope of being producing, while the foliage is injured worse than It had been in several years past. The freeze Friday night did great damage but the severe cold and frost which prevailed during the early hours of this morning, put the finishing touches on that fruit where there still remained some chances of its producing. The greatest injury has been with the early varieties of fruit. The Dyehous and Early Richmond cherries were just beginning to bloom when thi present cold spell struck them. The Montmorency cherry trees, although they bear late, are practically void of live buds. Other Fruit Damaged. A greater portion of the apple, pear and peach crops are ruined, according to the statements of other fruit growers surrounding Richmond. Many had hopes during the latter part of the week that Ithere would still remain enough buds on the trees to supply all the fruit that could be used during the coming summer, but the exceedingly hard freeze and heavy' frost last night shattered the hopes of such persons. Last night was considered one of the worst that could have been handed out by the weather man as the heavens were clear while the thermometer sank fast after midnight, and a crisp white frost covered the ground this vnorning. The little glass tube registered just twenty degrees above zero at the coldest period this morning, which was at day break. Many farm

After three policemen had testified that he was drunk, Burns stated that he had nothing to say for himself ,so he was the recipient of a fine of $1 and costs. Burns stated that he entered the Dave Johnson saloon on Ft. Wayne avenue Saturday afternoon, where he met Elstro, with whom he works, and treated him to a drink. Burns then stated he asked Elstro for a chew of tobacco and touched him on the hip. Burns stated that Elstro whirled on him and knocked him against the wall.

BOTH HIS FRIENDS AND THE MACHINE LEADERS DENY THAT HE WOULD AID IN ATTACK ON THE ORGANIZATION.

Indianapolis, Ind., April lo. It has been ascertained that there has been a final and evidently irrevocable break between- Governor Hanly and the state republican machine. It was known during the close of the legislature that temporarily, at least, the machine and the governor were at outs. It now rests with the governor as to whether the warfare between the two shall actually begin as soon as he recovers. Some say the governor will try to smash the machine and that the remaining months of his administration will be directed to an effort of this hind. These say they believe Beveridge would join In such an attack. Bo'h Beveridge's friends and the machine

leaders say this is not the case. Of course nothing can be done until the governor recovers from his sicknes-s. but his attitude toward the machiue will be watched with interest.

Mrs. Morris was awaiting the return of her husband Saturday night wh:i about ten o'clock she heard a fcmx k the door. Thinking it was Mr. Morris, she opened the door without question. As soon as she had done so sh was grabbed by two rough men. heavily masked. They demanded that h turn over .$500 or else suffer losing her life. Mrs. Morris protested that there was no money in the house and in a. struggle with the men broke away and ran to the kitchen. Before fche could make her escape from that room, the men overtook her and again on h?r refusal to turn over the money, struck her over the head, knocking her to ttu floor unconscious. Found by Her Husband. Mrs. Morris was found an hour latar by her husband on his return. He quickly summoned the neighbors an 1 medical aid. reviving his wife with quite an effort. From the description, of the affair given by Mrs. Morris, :t Is thought that she was sandbagged. No clue has been found to the woman'a assailants. .... When .Mr. Morris returned home ! found all the doors open, the lights turned out and the house in much confusion, showing that the robbers had gone through it hurriedly. It known that they secured $7 in money.

JESSUP MAKES INVESTIGATION. Prosecutor Believes There Were Three Men in the Party. Although the murderous assault on Mrs. Frank Morris was made on Saturday night, Prosecutor Jessup wa not informed of the affair until about . o'clock Sunday evening. So far. is known, the Milton authorities neglected to send out a warning to the police officials in neighboring towns fo tht the assailants of Mrs. Morris could bs apprehended. A3 soon as the news of the assault reached the ears of the prosecutor he telephoned to Marshal Drischel at Cambridge City and learned to his asHaishment that the marshal at Milton had not informed Dris

HOLDER DISPROVES A LIBEL IN REFERENCE TO THE HOG

CREATED BY THE POPE.

The average man would never for a second think-of searching out the fine points of a hog with the idea in view of measuring him for intelligence. Strictly speaking, the hog has never been credited with having intelligence in any degree and for a man to search for a single spark that would reflect the presence of gray matter, would

himself. It has taken Edwin S. Holder, owner and manager of the Holder Hoosier circus, to disprove the common error and because of the fact that Mr. Holder is a Wayne countian by adoption. If not birth, his views on the hog are of more than ordinary interest. Just now Mr. Holder's collection of bo vines and other animals are housed in the coliseum for a three days' stay, and while they are entertaining hundreds of children and older folks, too, it may never be discovered just what el

ements have been necessary to accom-

They still perform and they are valuable coachers to the younger generation that I am putting through the course for the future. Ears Are Indication.

He left Cambridge City for Milton on the tractkri car that arrives there about 10:4o in the evening. When" be arrived home he found the

After Mrs. Morris had been revive she stated that early in the evening she had heard a rig drive past th home four times. About 9:30 o'clock the front door opened and two men entered . the house. Both wore dark overcoats, masks and black slouch hats. One was a heavy set man ov?r six feet in heigth. The other was a short, heavy set man. "Be quiet and we won't do anything to you if you have the money." said the tall man.
