' This moraiott Timothy Nicholson, president of the Antl Saloon league and who style himself an independent Republican, sent the following communication to the Palladium:, , "From thr report in the-city papers those who attended the recent; Meetings of the Progressiti? party! were about evenly divided upon the ques- , tion of nominating a county and legislative ticket. It seems however, the leaders "(called bosses ' In other parties) Insist upbn' nominating a Progressive party ticket, notwithstanding probably at least ninety per cent of Its members voted at, the primary which nominated the present county "and legislature ticket. r The undersigned was out of the etate and did not vote at the said primary, and is under no obligation to any of the nominees; but unless they are immoral or incompetent, honor and justice demand their support, by those whose Votes nominated them. The Progressive Party stands for honor and Integrity, therefore we .shall expect the larger part of it to vote for these primary nominees. But, if its leaders insist upon, and secure another nomination, tha result evidently, will be the Democrats will elect the count7 officers and send two representatives to the legislature from Wayne and Fayette and secure the re-election of IT.

PREPARATIONS

MADE

ByAll Parties for the Next Registration. Active preparations are being made by the Progressive, Republican and Democratic state organizations for the r-ext session of the registration boards, Bepiember.6. The registration ia May in-as" light in' Wayne county, only about one-third of the voters entering their names ; on the registrations sheets. Both the Democratic and Republican leaders at that time however fcaid they were satisfied with the results of the first registration. It Is regarded as of great importance by all Of the political managers that as many voters as possible be, induced to register at the next period. The Democratic precinct committeemen and registration clerks were instructed by the Wayne county managers to see that every Democratic voter registers on September 6. The Democratic state organization has instructed the party organization all over the state to get busy and see that all Democrats who have not registered do so on September 6. DRIVES AUTO INTO Unknown Woman Prostrates One Man and Frightens Many Others. Piercing screams of "he's dead they've killed him!" followed the prostration of Sylvester Jones in the dust before the Main street entrance to the chautauqua grounds last night. While Mr. Jones, no longer prone, embraced his wife and assured her that while dusty he was not dead curbstone spectators were telling each ether how it happened. A fool woman driving an automobile on the wrong side of the street ployed right into a crowd boarding one of Richmond's celebrated street-cars. The crowd hastily dissolved but not before Mr. Jones had been lightly tossed into the cement discard. Nobody knew the occupants of the car nor its feminine driver but the fact that it bore an Ohio card may explain all. W. WHITE STRICKEN William White, former driver of the patrol, suffered another paralytic stroke while walking on North Fifteenth street this morning. White fell to the ground and was removed to his home, 130 North Sixth street in an ambulance. White has suffered similar F.trokes previously, He experienced one while connected with the local police department, which, for a time, It was believed, would prove fatal. SMALL BARN FIRE The auto truck wag called to the corner of State and Hunt streets at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon to extinguish a small fire In the barn of Wesley Brown. The damage was Inconsiderable. TRIAL POSTPONED The trial of Elkanah Simmons for failing to report stolen goods to the police, originally set for this afternoon, was postponed until Friday at 1:30 o'clock. The case will be heard in police court. Right Handed Parrots. Past the parrot cages walked the bird fancier, poking an inquisitive finger at the birds. "I am looking for a right handed parrot, he said, "but there doesn't seem to be one in this lot. Most parrots are left handed. Training, not nature, made them so. "Their owners are right handed and when putting oat a finger for the bird to stand on it is most convenient for him to step up with the left foot. In a little while that left handed action becomes second nature and he doesn't know how to use his right foot first "The only right handed parrots have belonged to left handed persons. In their training the order was reversed. The left finger was extended for a perch and the bird naturally grasped It with his right foot." New York Sun. AND nsumdi

District Attorney Cameron himself says he has not been ousted, although he has refused and still refuses to assist the governor In the vice crusade. Cameron plans an appeal to the courts that will Involve many Interesting legal questions, principal of which is the right of the governor to turn a district attorney out of office.

So intense was the heat that windows in the Gainsborough were broken and valuable paintings owned by artists living in the apartments were destroyed. PICKED A SAFE SPOT. Ho Wanted an Easy Fall if He Missed the Big Bear. The red bear of Asia lives In lofty mountain solitudes, rarely coming below an" altitude of 8,000 feet. For the greater part of the year he is content with a vegetarian diet and leads a blameless and estimable life, but in the spring ho becomes mischievous, and then a man who pursues him in bis native haunts must be a mountain eer as well as a hunter. The following Incident from "Sport and Lit e In the Further Himalayas," by R. L. Kennion, Illustrates the double danger. My Gilgit stalker tised to tell of a bear that was a terror to the goat herds sent to graze the village flocks In the Rakhlot glen, not only a robber, but a trucculent one. who committed his crimes in the broad light of day and cared for neither man nor dog. Gul Sher encountered him when out with T., a noted shot from among the small party of officers then at Gilgit Behind them yawned a precipice; in Tront was the big beast, grunting a,nd slavering at the mouth. They faced one another "while men could count a Bcore." and still T. did not shoot The bear advanced. 'Shoot!" cried Gul Sher, but T. only looked round over his shoulder. The bear came on. Then T. slowly pot his rifle up and shot him dead through the head. "And why had not T. shot him before?" I asked. "That is what I wanted to know," the stalker said, "and he told me that he was just looking for the easiest place to go down the precipice In case the bear was not killed." I was sitting hearing the story at the exact Bpot where it happened and, going to the edge, looked over. The first thing to break a fall was a green lawn of pine treetops 2,000 feet below.
