was Il little seance in front of the COVER

aggressive campaign cut down Governor
Clough's republican plurality $4,000
votes, and Tams Bixby, the governors
campaign manager. Lind was passing
the governors door, valise in hand, on
his way through the hall to the main en-

governors sanctum.

the smiling Tams, as he shifted the fat

Lind, as he put down his valise to shake

IS nepends on the Sire Of Oloueh's Plural
ity and the Number Of Ballots
Thrown Out. 81

The. Minneapolis Journal Of Thursday
reported the gubernatoriaI situation as
follows
There is many q slip 'twixt the cup
and the lip, and Governor Clough,though
apparently elected his own successor,
may still be declared defeated BY the
courts Of the state. At least, the posi-
5bility exists in the minds Of some Of John
Lind's friends and political advisers in
very real form, and they are now only
Waiting to take advantage of it if condi-
tions shown BY the complete state re-
turns warrant them in 50 doing.
Said National Committeeman. T.. ID.
o'Brien this morning: .We have net yet
decided on a contest against Governor
Clough, nor do we know that we shall
SO decide, but it is quite possible that
we shall take up such proceeding. We
are only waiting for the complete state
returns. Clough's plurality dwindles
with each days additions to the vote,
and our point is now to discover his act
ual plurality as it will be known when
all the counties are heard from. If we
make a contest it will he on irregulari-
ties IN the count, such as the discarding
/ Of ballots which properly should have
been made part of the totals. I have
no doubt, in fact know, that there are
many such, and the only question with
us will be whether the number of those
ballots is large enough to overcome the
plurality Cloagh will have. If we decide
that it is, then we will contest; otherwise
the matter will be permitted to drop, SO
far as we are concerned"
Numbers of ignorant democrats are
said to have voted for two sets of presi-
dental electors-those for Bryan: and
those for Palme1-and then afterwards
marked the rest of tine ticket correctly
On the rejection Of these ballots Will the
fight of the popocracy be made in it's at.

On their part that such ballots should

nearly two thousand voting precincts il

Thus the committee figures that if the
show such to be the case and the court
approve their reasoning, Clough's pres

Too Long to Wait.

The Widow Tceter's husband had been
dead only few weeks when there were
surface indications that size was about C
marry again.
The late Mr.. Teetcr had not been ex.
actly a model husband and it was the
general opinion that his death was a
stroke of good fortune for Mcs. Teetcr
but still the relatives of the deceasc d
thought that his memory required wi
dowhood of at least a year.. When the
indications of the approaching marriage
became apparent some of her late hus-
bands friends waited on Mrs. Teeter,and
one OF them said: {
eve hear that you are about to marry
again, Lucy Ann -. "
swell, I'don't know that it is any of
your business" replied Lucy Ann, "but
if it will give you any satisfaction to
know the facts, T don't mind telling you

how utterly baseless are all the suspi-
cions which have grown out of an abso-

the following extract from it:
..The statute authorizes the use Of fed:
eral troops in state whenever it shall
be impracticable to enforce the laws Of
the United States within such state byl
the ordinary judicial proceedings. Such,
a condition does not exist in Illinois.
There have been few disturbances, but
nothing that seriously interfered with
the administrator of justice, or that
could not be easily controlled by the To-
cal or state authorities for the federal
troops can do nothing that the state
troops cannot do. Buteven if by a forced
construction it were held that the condi.
tons here came within the letter of the
statute, then I submit that local self-gov-
eminent is fundamental principle of
I our constitution. Each community shall
govern itself so long as it can, and is
ready and willing to enforce the lava
| it is in harmony with this fundamental
principle that the statute authorizing the
president to send troops into states must
| be construed.
ESPECIALLY is this true IN matters re-
lating to the exercise of the police power
! and the preservation of law and order.
To ignore local government in matters
of this kind, when the local government
is ready to furnish the assistance needed,
| and is amply able to enforce the law,not
only insults the people Of this state 10y
| imputing to them an inability to govern
themselves, or an urwillingness to en-
force the law, but is in violation of the
basic principles of our institutions. The
question of federal supremacy is not in

supremacy and local self government 60

Williams stiu i'm suspense.

The case OF Dick Williams, convicted several
days ago of extortion, was before Judge Nor
row yesterday on motion OF defendants at
torney tor new trial. The principal conten-
ton OF the defense was that the court erred in
admitting the handbook and the affidavit
made by Williams in civil suit now pending
in the Superior Court. Mr.. Collins. the con-
Victed mans new attorney, cited several State
authorities in support of his position, refer
ring incidentally TO the fact that Judge Nor
row had been unnecessarily severe in his
charge 10 the Jury. At the conclusion of the
argument his Honor said that while he ex.
pected TO give the prosecution a chance to re-
ply to the contentious of defendants counsel
he desired at that time to impress upon the
latter the TACT that most of the points made by
him had already been finally decided in the
United states courts. This remark was gener-
ally construed to mean that the motion for n
new trial will be denied and that sentence
will be passed to- day. Court will convene at

Then reverses came and the children
were compelled to start out for themselves
and care for their own fortunes.
Miss Losechamp's brothers had received
business educations and were prepared for
the struggle with the world, but with her
the case was different.
Her accomplishments were not of the
kind that would bring in an income, and
it was necessary to look out for herself.
The plucky girl wasted no time, however,
and was soon fitted to take the position of
bookkeeper, which she did in large COM
mercial house in Montana, where she
remained for seven years.
Early in last year she left her position
to journey to Oregon, where one of her
brothers was sick and in need OF care and
attention, and there she remained minis
tering to him until he was called to Join
the majority. In the meantime. her father
had drifted to California in search of en-
ployment, and she joined him in San Fran
cisco to care for him in his declining years.
Neither father nor daughter prospered,
and when in February last their funds
were about exhausted in order to keep the
wolf from the door she took service with
physicians family as domestic, and IN
that way earned her daily bread. Even
then fortune seemed against her and she
began suit in the Justice Court against
her employer to recover portion of the
wages over which there had been dis
pute. She lost her case and was Just
about in despair, when she received word
from her fathers home in Germany that
put an entirely different expression on for
tunes face and gave her renewed hope of
brighter and better days.
During her girlhood years and even
after the responsibilities of earning her
living weighed upon her. she had kept up
a correspondence with a maiden aunt in
Germany, who, though she had never seen
her niece in distant land, had conceived a
great foEdness for her through her letters.
This aunt died few weeks ago anG it
was the news of her demise and that she
had left her young relative property val
ued at from $125, 900 to $150,0O0 that
brought both sorrow and Joy to the Lose
champ household.
Attorney George Hayford, who was her
legal adviser, at once Instituted inquiries
that verified the statements of the letters,
and the necessary papers to prove Miss
Losechamp's right to the fortune were at
once forwarded to Germany.
1t is expected that four or five months
will elapse before the legal formalities are
all over and the money is placed at the
disposal OF the new heiress, but the attor-
ney declares that the process is well under
way and that the fortune will reach its
rightful owner ere long.
Miss Losechamp is 26 wears of age. She
has light hair and an interesting, hand
some face that partially tells the story OF
her life. She is splendidly educated. a
good conversatIonist and an accom-
plished musician.
At present her place of residence is kept
secret by those most interested in her
welfare in order to prevent her from being
annoyed by the hordes of fortune-hunters,
inventors and cranks who invariably fol-
low those who come in for substantial
legacies.

The face of fortune. long hidden from
one young woman in this City. has once
more been revealed to her, and within a
short time the consummation of sudden
turn of the tickle goddess will place Miss
Lena Losechamp beyond the necessity of
the menial labor that she has for months
been performing and restore her to the
affluence that in early life gave her luxu-
rious tastes and magnificent opportunities
to become an accomplished woman.
Miss Losechamp's father came to Amer
lea many years ago with an ample fortune
and a young wife. As years went by he
added to his belongings, and the children
that were born to the couple were raised
amid luxurious surroundings and given
