Springfield, 111., May 18.—Restless ness was on the increase today among the delegates to the Republican state convention. Many announced an in- tention of going home, leaving a few of their associates to vote their re spective delegations. In the rank and file there was a growing inclination for a recess of 30 ilays, hut so far as known no candi dates were favorable to such a course. Appearances indicated that the break ing of the deadlock would be long de ferred if the event should await an agreement between them. All night Governor Yates and his committee remained at work on the upper flor of the Leland hotel confer ring alternately with the Deneen and Lowden leaders. It is stated today that wlj|le a com bination between the governor and one of the other of the (Took county candidates was somewhat nearer than ever before nothing had been con cluded. Neither Yates, Deneen or Lowden was willing to concede that bis chances were less promising than those of rivals. No one of the candi dates seem willing to enter a combina tion which would eliminate himself. — One Hundred and Forty Seven Lodges Represented.

The key to the situa tion was apparently held by former Congressman Samuel A. Cook, of Nee- nah. candidate for governor with over 120 delegates pledged to his support. Without the adherence of Mr. Cook to any plan of withdrawal from or bolting the regular convenetion. Much a plan could hardly avail anything tan gible as the bolters would not have controlled anywhere near a majority of the delegates. The state central committee, •which worked late into the night, settled bu. two contests reducing the number ol delegates In the anti-third termers’ col umn by 22. The committee was ir session again today and it was sa4 there was no question but w'hat Gov ernor LaFollette would have a majori ty of delegates and quite a few to spare. Senators Spooner and Quarles and Congressman Babcock were today counseling “no bolt.” The plan of the governor’s follow ers, it is said, would be to renominate the present state ticket from top to bottom and to elect Governor LaFol lette to head the delegates at larg* to the national convention. The lat ter part of the program, it was said, might be overthrown, and Senator Spooner placed at the head of the na tional convention delegation. Ton-Year-Old Boy Died In Convulsions at Philadelphia.

Manuel Di- onisce Diaz, of the department of pub lic works, Havana, spoke on “Road Building in Cuba.” I N a certain school out west menus*, and methods of education are used which to the unenlightened mind appear little less than startling. For instance, the children sing a song. Then each of them makes a drawing which is supposed to illus trate the song which has jn*t beeit sting. In this way the power of the pu pils to "visualize their conceptions” is fostered. The other day the music of “The Old Oaken Bucket” was started, and every- | body joined in the singing. Then they ! all sat down to make a picture of what the song meant to them. Tommy, one of the youngest of, the ; class, turned in a truly original sketch. He had drawn what might have been | meant for a circle and within it had outlined what appeared to be three wastebaskets all in a row. Under neath this diagram was a sprinkling of fly specks, or was it a representation of microbes as they appear under a . magnifying glass? The teacher looked at the drawn* for a moment and then admitted that I she was puzzled. She put her lorefinger on the left hand figure in the row of three inside the circle and said, “Tommy, what is that?” “Why, teacher, that's the old oaken ; bucket.” The teacher pointed out the right hand figure of the three. “And that one. Tommy?” she asked. “Pshaw! That’s the iron bound buck et.” The teacher pointed to the circle ; which inclosed the three buckets. “What’s that?” “That's the well they bung in.” “And what are these?” she asked finally, pointing to the ragged group of exaggerated fly specks below the | rest of the picture. “Those," answered Tommy, with nev er the ghost of a smile In his big blue eyes—“those are ‘all the loved spots , which my infancy knew.’ ’’—Chicago Tribune.

No matter how deep- seated your cough, even if dread con sumption has attacked your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure—as it has done before in thous ands of apparently hopeless cases of lung trouble.
