An-

"WIPED BARNES OFF POLITICAL MAP"

CAfi OVERTURNS L

Foiith Fend newspaper men were entertained at a dinner Wednesday night by Iiek Townsend, manager of the Oliver hotel, and as a result the organization of a press club was started. Over a score of members of the press met for the tirst time in a body as a result of Mr. Townsend's h os pita lity. Talks were given by every member present and it was in the midst of these that the plan to organize a press club was started. W. W. Dunkle acted as toast master until the press club proposition was brought up, when John F. Dellaven was made chairman. A committee consisting of Irvin Dolk and J. F. Irmiter of The Xcws-Times and Wilbur Armstrong and to rank Jewries of the Tribune was appointed to draw up the by-laws for the proposed organization. A meeting of newspaper men will be held on Wednesday night, Sept. 2. at the Oliver hotel to complete the plans. Mr. Townsend was made an honorary member of the club. Mr. Townsend was one of the prime factors in the establishment of the proposed club. He granted the use of a part of the hotel at any time for a meeting of the newspaper men and promised them a banquet every year that the club was In existence.

When he tirst came to South Bend he expressed a desire to be the friend i of the newspaper men and at that timej said he would give them a dinner. Wednesday night's entertainment was! the tirst ever extended to the nn-ss '

in South Bend and was highly appreciated.

Republican Leader Suffers His .Most Overwhelming Defeat at Convention. SARATOGA, X. Y.. Aug. 'JO. "We have wiped Barries off the political map." gleefully chorused Herbert Parsons. Ogdcn I. Mills, Samuel S. Koenlg and other antls, as Wednesday's republican state convention ended. The republican lender had suffered one of the most overwhelming defeats ever experienced by him upon a convention lioor. He had failed to break the slate put up by the greater Xew York leaders for delegates at large to the constitutional convention. The Barnes followers, however, scout this and blame a tactical blunder by Sen. Klon it Brown for the reverse which came suddenly after Barnes with the co-operation of Sen. Boot and the Whitman gubernatorial boomers had practically taken every trick. "This has been an unbossed convention." said Dist. Atty. Whitman of Xew York Wednesday night. "I await the primaries with confidence." "I am satisfied and shall begin my campaign right away," said Job Hedges. 'The Tlinman campaign will be renewed on Aug. 29," said Jack Rose, Ilinman's manager. Sen. Hinrnan was carried out of his hotel Wednesday night and put upon a train for Hinghamton. his home. His condition is still serious.

Carlisle, who was making the turn at Washington to go up Taylor, on which street he resides, was unable to stop the automobile e.nd skidded into the lad on the bicycle. He immediately stopped and took the boy to Kpworth hospital. The newsboy escaped any serious injury and was able to go home after his slight bruises were attended to at the hospital. The accident was reported to the police by liernard F. Dougherty, night man at a garage near the scene, who heard the mesh.

And yet four days afterward they have contrived to gtt us to make a stand again. For in our rear, on the other bank of the river, our regiments have crossed, and are groping for new positions. Hut we have to cover their passage at any cost. We were now drawing on our last reserve. We were still standing with our spades in our hands, and throwing, with aching backs and arms, more soil on the works, when in front of us we saw figures passing up and down on the grey, twilight held. They were grubbing the Foil up busily, and were putting something we could not see into holes, and covering it in again. They went about their work noiselessly no incautious step and no unguarded movement and when they came back again and passed us, and

marched on, their faces were livid ! and their lips dumb. They proved j themselves to be first-class moles. . They had done a good bit of work. They had undermined ihe earth. They had stuffed the ground with explosives, and if the enemy comes tonight we shall repay the gifts they I lavished upon us from the sky the ! other day with interest. They have j arranged it all like a rat-trap. I Over there, beyond the mined field I even, two companies are l.ving in ex- ( tended order. And midway between them, without a vestige of cowi, stands our battery on the open held. It is planted there as if it were doomed to he delivered into the enemy's hands. j And now we are lying in our long j trenches and are peering out into the i field, with our eyes glued to the sharply outlined silhouettes of the j guns. The sun has set some time ago. , From the- far distance the thin rat-! tie of musketry reaches us clearly. ! Wonder if it'll last much longer? : Our orders are to remain under , arms. We have put on our overcoats. The night is chilly, and lowering:, r gaze out over the Held of death nothing makes any difference to me now if only it were over quickly. A scout has com1 in. and delivers his report in a whisper. Our Instructions are not to fire before the order to fire is given, and then to fire into the air. In the background, far on the horizon, the ground rises, and the gray skyline stands out against the cloudy sky. The musketry fire has become hotter from minute to minute, and has increased to a threatening rattle. To the right and left of us fighting is in full swing. In front of us the mined field lies silent, and the two companies, too, are lying silent in their ritle-plts.

A Review of Fall Millinery

A noticeable feature of the Fall opening was a return to large picture hats most of the sailor type. "Canotier" is the name Paris has given to the large flat models. Small' hats however, have not heen discarded and are still in favor.
