Telegraphic Flashes.

Word has been brought to Buffalo,
Wyoming, of the assassination of two
more outlaws. The dead cattle thieves
Hanks, fugltives from Montana. Both
were found shot in the back near Hot
Springs. Four outlaws have been killed
in that vicinity in the same way Within
two weeks. Brown was one of the most
notorious cattle thieves in Wyoming.
The $4,000 reward has furnished an
incentive for the officers in tvying to
ferret out the murderers of Henry Planz
at San Jose, Cal. The woman theory
seems to be the most plausible, as the
Est of married ladies with whom he was
very friendly, increases.
The Constellation is now at Naples
for the purpose of taking on board and
conveying to the United States works of
art by American artists for the Chicago
exposition.
The Rothschilds will send another
91 10000 in gold to Russia next week.
Half has already been purchased. 1t is
expected the remainder will be secured
without having recourse to the Bank of
England.
One of the most important election
contests ever known in Nebraska has be-
gun in the supreme court. It is an appli-
cation for writ of mandamus to compel
the clerk of Clay county to issue certi-
ficate of election to the republican candi-
date for the legislature, on the ground
that the Independent candidates, who
received majority of the votes, had
been endorsed by the democrats, and in
printing the official ballots the names of
the independent candidates were placed
twice on the ticket. At the same time
another contest from Knox county was
started, which, if successful, will unseat
an independent representative and seat
a republican. If these changes are made,
the legislature will be a tie on joint bal
lot.
Official returns show the election of
1 400 majority. It is now believed that
he will not tcy for the senate,
as the fusionists fear they will not be
able to elect his successor in the house.
Mrs. Lease charges that he is a democrat
and is merely using the peoples party.
He says he favors democrat for
senator, because they played fair
with US this time, and we will need
them in the future" On the face of
the returns from the second district,
Funston is reelected to congress by IS.
Moore, his democratic opponent, has
given notice of contest.
There is conflict between the laws of
the United States and the laws OF the
state of Washington in regard to the
date OF the convening of the electoral
college. The last legislature, following
the act of congress of 1872, fixed the
first Wednesday of December following
the day of election as the day of meet
ing. The law of 1892 was, however,
changed by an act of congress approved
February 8, 1887, and the time of meet
ing by that act is the second Monday in
January, next following the election.
Congress has power under the fourth
section of article two of the constitution
of the United States to determine the
day on which the electoral college in the
several states shall meet, and, therefore,
the state law being in, contravention OF
the existing act of congress is unconsti-
tutional. The Washington electors will
accordingly meet in Olympia on January
9, 1898.
Two masked bandits entered the bank
at Woodstock, Minn., last Wednesday
evening and demanded of Cashier
Perry and his assistant, Mr.. Craig, that
they open the vault. One of the men
took Perry in charge, while the other
robber forced Craig to open the vault.
The robber then helped himself to what
he wanted, and the pair left with q
large Doodle, the officers say 81 900, but
it is feared that the amount is greater
