As soon as the signal Is received,

will march onto the grounds.

At tho snmo time, President Chns.

After (ho -outbreak of the Euro

that tho exposition would not open.
As n mnttor of fact, tho exposition
stands today 100 per cent com-
pleto, free of debt and with A for
eign nations participating, of which
'it hnve built pavilions of thrlr own.
England, Germany, Austrln and Rus
sia, among tho belligerents aro not

not be wholly left out of mind. Franco

When tho management says the

It Is speaking of Its own activities.
It does not mean Hint ovory conces

bills aggregating S2.93G.3U1 and
with tho workmens' compensation act
amendments, tax, consolidation and
many other Important bills bold up,
because of tho deadlock between the
two branches of the assembly, tho
outlook for adjournment tonight was
regarded as almost out of the ques

Tho deadlock centered on the fall
tiro of tho houso nnd senate to reach
a compromlso on the Scbuebcl bill
amending tho workmens' compensa
tion act. Objection Is made to tho
sonato amendment to the bill reduc
ing the Industrial accident commls

A mild sensation was created In

J. C. Smith denouncing a bill Intro
duccd by Senator Katbryn Clarke Ho
declared It was "an attempt on the
nart of Douglas county to steal a
part of Jackson county, and an In
suit to every tax payer down there."
Ho explained that by a subterfuge tho
people behind the bill were "trying
to swipe a part of Jackson's good
roads."
Miss Clarke read an explanation of
the purposes of tho bill, which pur
ports to settlo tho boundary question
between Jackson and Douglas coun
ties. Only 11 senators voted for the
measure and It went Into tho dis
card. High School Vina!
Senator T. L. Perkins' bill, pro
viding for a county high school tui

Tho bill provides that tho county
courts In which there aro no county
high schools, levy a tax on all pro

that situated In high school districts
for tho creation of a county high
school fund. This fuud Is to bo
used In dofrnylng tho high school

It Is moro convenient for them to
