VOTING DIRECTORY.
How the Voter May Learn TO Manipulate
His Ticket.

Tom voting directory is abroad
in the land and anybody that can't
learn to vote by ii ought not to vote.
II Is virtually only card containing
all the tickets as they will be printed
on election day, and Its chef merit
consists In the fact that by means of 1t,
the voter mas a chance to study thor
ougnly mis- ticket before going to the
polls. When he enters the booth he
knows exactly what he Is there for and
can post up his ticket with no confus-
ion. In the first column is the full DEM
Ocratc ticket beginning with the nat
lonal ticket and ending with the county
ticket. Before each name there is a
little square and there Is larger one
under the heading of the ticket. In the
second column is the republican ticket,
aud then the peoples party and prohi-
btlou tickets.
If the voter wishes TO vote the
straight republ can ticket be simply
stamps a cross IN the square at the
head of that ticket and that indicates
that the ticket is straight one. II he
wishes 10 vote for candidates on other
tickets he does not mark the square at
the head OF his party ticket, but draws
a line through the name of the csndi-
date on hrs ticket whom he does not
wish 81 vote Tor and marks the square
opposite the candidate on the other
ticket, whom he wisnss 90 vote for.
For instance Il "a democrat wished TO
vote for Steketer for state senator he
would simply mark Peter DOran's
. name OF bis ticket and put a cross or
! posite the name r Mr.. SleKetee. &
republican wishing 30 vote for Rich
ardson would scratch of the nsme of
the republican nominee for congress
and pat cross opposite the name Of

A Pier DESTROYED by Firc-Caught From a

CLARK's Forks. Idaho. June 18.-[Special. !
Bridge No. 300 half mile east of Clark's
Fork, known to railroad men az the third
crossing of Clsrk's Fork river. was discov-
cred BY Watchman Preston to be on fire
about four O'Clock this morning. The fire
was first located in the center of the first
west pier and ia supposed to have caught
from sparks from tho engine of train No. 1,
which passed hero going west at about
three a. m. The pier burned to the waters
edge, letting the east end Of the west span
and west end Of the fourth span from the
east down into the river. 1t is understood
that the company will put in transfer tug
and barge, as John O'Connell's tug, the
Prescott, has been ordered from Lake Pen
dOreille mp the river to the bridge. Warm
ing was promptly given by the watchman,
but the dry timbers of the bridge and the
fearful draft from tho river made it of NO
avail. and the bridge soon fell at the pier,
extinguishinR the entire fire except the un-
burnt portion Of the pier. This bridge is
1926 feet long and has five spans in all. II
was rebuilt last winter.

EMMONS BLAINE DEAD.

Blood Poisoning the Cause Of His Usex-
pected Demise.
CHICAGO. June 1S.-Emmons Blsine, SON
OF ex-secretasy Blaine. died shortly before
noon OF blood poisoning. the result of in
tlammation Of tho bowels. The fact Of his
death was concealed for some time, the OBJ
ject being to reach his father with the sad
news in less shocking manner than by a
public announcement Efforts to get tsls-
graphic communication with him failed,
however, and at 1915 the news became pub
lie.
II was only quarter of an hour before
the fatal end came that the least intimation
that yoang Blaine was In dangerous con-
ditlon became known. and then only to q
few Of his most intimate friends. Al the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad headquarters
IA this city, bis associates were only aware
that he was i'll and had been 50 for several
days. Young Blaine was not able to figure
in tbs exciting scenes in connection with
his fathers presidential candidaoy at Min
neapolis and took his fathers defeat greatly
TO heart. He was confined to his bed short
" after his return from the north. It is
thought possible the strain and excitement
at Minneapolis, followed by keen disap-
pointment Of the outcome, had not little
to do with the prostration that ensued.
His death occurred in the homo Of his
!atner-ln-IaW,CyruS II. Mccormick. Only
his wife, son and Mrs. Mccormick were
present. Death came &c suddenly that
there was no time to summon other mem
bers of the family. Strenuous efforts were
made during the night and this morning to
get message to Hon. James G. Blaine and
wife. who are at Bar Harbor, Me-, telling
them of their SONS critical condition. but
the telegraph companies were unable to get
message through. A member of the Me-
Cormick family. in explaining why infor-
tion of young Blains's death was withheld,
said: "We feared it would be death blow
to all of the members Of the Blaine family
to receive the dreadful news without pre-
paration." Emmons Blaine was vice presi-
dent Of the Baltimore 81 Ohio Railroad COM
pany. He came to Chicago recently to take
charge of its official interests. His we'd
ding in New York to Miss Anita Mccormick,
q daughter Of the great reaper manufac-
turer. was . social event Of the first magni-
tude.

governor Of each state in tho Union has the
appointment Of ten delegates and the
mayor of each city and town appoints dele

The most interesting feature of the con-
Rress will be the drilling contest, which
will last for four evenings. The executive
committee has decided that no entrance
fec will be charged contestants, while the
prizes to be contended for will amount in
the aggregate to about $2,5O0. In addition
several special prizes have already been
offered. Five counties in Montana have
signihed their intention to make entries
and there will be several teams from Col
orado, two or more from Idaho, and one at
least from Washington. Ths fact that no
entrance fee will be charged will undoubt-
edly have the effect of drawing much
larger number Of contestants than If fee
were charged, The prizes are the largest
ever offered in . drilling contest in the
northwest. and the mon who will com pete
will be the best mon with the drill and
