SETTLED BY A FOOT-RACE.
Two Candidates for Office Run Race for
the Plum.

WAYNrTowN, IND, May 9.-Frank Hol-
lowell, speaking in the purest literal sense,
ran right into the position of Treasurer of
this town yesterday in the presence Of
very large crowd of people from Montgom
cry county and, in fact, from this part Of
the State generally.
The regular biennial election for this Of
flee took place on Monday last.
The competitors were Frank Hollowell
and William Simms. When the polls
closed at o'clock and the ballots were
counted each candidate was found to have
received 1923 votes. The ballots were can
vassed over and over again in hope of find
ing way out Of the difficulties of tie aud
the expense of a new election, but TO no
purpose They were phenomenally cor
rect, for the Hoosiers in this section are re-
markable for their voting intelligence, as
every one knows. Then the wise men Of
the town assembled in the market place
and formed themselves into Committee
of Adjustment. One man proposed that
the candidates should wrestle and tie prize
be adjudged TO the victor.
The proposition was rejected, as IL is
known that Mr.. Simms is something OF an
athlete, while Mr.. Hollowell is not Prop
ositions TO fight four rounds with gloves,
TO throw a nine pound shot, TO swim a
iected in turn as absurd. and people were
beginning TO fear that Waynetown would
soon suffer either from a surplus or a de
felt, when James Myers suggested a two
hundred yards dash, arguing that the com
petitors being about the same age and
physical caliber, neither would have an un-
due advantage. This idea was accepted,
and yesterday the candidates for Office,
dressed IN light marching order toed the
starting line
The betting was something unprecedent-
ed, and there is no eXaggeratiOn i'm saying
that more money changed hands on the re-
suit than will pass through the Treasurer 5
office in year The excitement ran high,
and the odds were slightly in favor of Mr..
Simms. Before they had covered half the
distance Simms gained five yards on his
opponent, and 10 was offered on him.
When within three yards Of the winning
post his friends cheered, feeling sure of
victory, but unfortunately he slipped and
fell, and Hollowell fell over him. The
trouble with Simms at this crisis is that he
wanted to get up and reorganize himself,
while the cunning Hollowell jumped past
the winning post on all fours, thus once
more proving the truth of the old saying
that the race is not always to the swift.

MORE FROSTS PREDICTED.
For the Month of May-Bad Showing for
Fruits and Grains.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, May 9.--Prof Foster in
his weather predictions says: A storm
wave of only ordinary force will be due TO
leave the Pacific coast about May 10, cross
the Rocky Allegheny valley from 10th TO
18th and reach the Atlantic coast about the
10Th. The low barometer of this storm
wave will pass across the continent south
of the fortieth degree of north latitude, and
the cool wave and the frosts following it
will reach further south than is usual for
the time of year This storm will become
quite severe on the Atlantic coast about
the 10Th, and following it will occur the
coldest weather Of the month.
My last letter gave particulars OF the
storm wave due to cross the continent from
the Pacific TO the Atlantic coasts from the
9th to the 18th These forecasts give the
key to the weather that will occur at any
place on this continent within the da'es
mentioned; but to appreciate the accuracy
and benefits of the forecasts the reader
must bear in mind the nature Of storm
waves, and how they affect the weather
within and around them. The storm wave
consists of two parts, high and a low
barometer, that always move together
across the continent, and, in this latitude,
around the earth The low barometer is
called the storm center, and is from 500 10
5000 miles in diameter. Within these
storm centers the wind blows in a circle
contrary to the movements Of the hands Of
a watch when placed face up. while outside
of the low barometer the wind blows to-
ward the center Of its right hand quarter
as you face IL.
About one-third, the outer edge Of this
low barometer, consists Of very clear
weather and the bluest OF skies, and this
must always be reckoned as part OF the
storm wave, as IL is "a sure indication that
the storm is not far away. Another third,
inside Of this clear belt, is occupied by a
cloud belt in which rain and snow occur,
and the clouds move with the wind around
the center of the low barometer. The cen
ter of the low barometer has but little
clouds. not much wind and the weather
warm aud sultry. If the reader will keep
this whirling storm center in mind ana
note my forecasts, the future of the wealth
er may be known nine times out OF ten
The high barometer follows the storm cen
ter and being clearing, cooler weather,
and these high and low barometers follow
each other around the earth from west TO
east, and cause all changes in the weather.
South of 30o north latitude the movements
of these barometers are different and con-
stitute the tropical hurricanes.

WORK OF PROVIDENCE.
Little Alice Woodward Saved by News
paper Man.

BIRMINGHAM, Conn, May 9.-Alice
Woodward, of Shelton, the thirteen-year
old girl who for five weeks last winter me
coughed constantly. until almost at the point
of death. is at last slowly but surely recov-
ering. Her case has been a strange one
since the beginning. Little Alice was
taken by her mother to DIR. Shelton's office
for scrofulous trouble. The doctor pre-
scribed tincture of iron. Several days
after the hiccoughing came on and for five
week the patient coughed necessarily
night and day. The manner in which the
cure was effected is strange and romantic.
Frank w. Mack, night editor Of the Wes-
tern Department of the Associated Press,
came across a brief dispatch stating Alice
Woodward's cg-s Having once been sim
ilarly affected in the same way, and hav-
ing gained relief through the nitrate OF
amyl, the editor wrote TO her uncle advis-
ing the use of the drug. During a bad
coughing spell amyl was applied and re
| lief was instantaneous. The little girl IS
now rapidly improving.

LUMBER STRIKE IN NEW YORK
Involving One Hundred Thousand Men
Lumber Dealers Turn the Tables.

New YORK, May 9.-One Of the largest
meetings of the lumber trade ever held in
this city took place yesterday at the rooms
of the New York Lumber Trade Associa-
ton. The subject under discussion was
the boycott which had been declared
against one Of the lumber dealers, who pre-
sented his case for advisement 1t was
asserted that this strike was manifestly un-
lust. inasmuch as no demands whasever had
been made upon him and his men had re-
fused TO strike; they were consequently de-
clared "scabs'' and walking delegate
strike was ordered against him. Several
of the members of the Lumber Handlers
Association stated that at the meeting of
their union held last Sunday, the men of
the boycotted yard, through their spokes-
man, stated that they had n. grievances
and that they were perfectly t.isfied with
both the pay and the treatment they were
receiving, whereupon the spokesman was
forcibly elected from the meeting. Inview
of these facts the united lumber trade Of
New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City de-
termined not to deliver any lumber 10 any
building in New York City after Saturday,
May 9, until the boycotts now declared
have been raised. About 600 men will
be affected.
