INTEREST UNABATED.

Dupont Worlds Championship Tour
nament in Progress at burnside.
Ill.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Interest in the
Dupont worlds championship tourna-
mot in progress at Burnside, ILL.,,
continued unabated today. The list of
nominations for the handicap for the
individual championship closed at IL
O'Clock today with 12S entries, 124 of
which qualified and went to the score.
This surpasses all previous records in
point of numbers of entries for cham
ship events. The largest list of nognf-
nations ever made for the Grand
American handicap was 101. AS each
contestant must shoot at twenty-five
birds the shades of Saturday evening
viii fall before the winner is known.
The appearance of Mrs. W. T. Shat
tuck of Minneapolis at the traps
caused no little excitement. She is a
splendid live bird shot. Only one
round of five birds was shot and al
though Mrs. Shattuck shot in the rain
she secured four out OF five. Her first
four birds were brought down with
the first barreI, having been killed
clean.
The last bird, dark blue driver, she
hit hard with each barrel, but it fell
dead about four feet out of bounds.
The spectators applauded her vigor-
ously each time she brought down a
bird and sympathized with her at her
i'll luck. The fifteen bird event has
l23 entries. AS in the worlds cham
pionship race, only one round of five
birds was shot The attendance near
ly equalled that of yesterday. The
heat, up to 8 o'clock, was terrific Then
a heavy shower set in, interfering with
the shooting to q, considerable extent.

INDIANA GOLD DEnoCRATs.
Bragg, of Wisconsin, Said to Be in
Great Favor.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 6.-The
newspaper correspondents, notably
from the east, comprised nearly all the
arrivals today for the meeting tomor-
row of the provisional committee of
the gold standard Democrats. Elk
Congressman Bynum is overwhelmed
with mail and kilograms today, indi-
eating a larger attendance tomorrow
than he expected Among the tele-
grams is one announcing the sickness
of Louis Erich of Colorado, who was
announced as the main speaker for the
mass meeting for Saturday night at
Tomlinson hall. The executive COM
mittee has accordingly declared the
Saturday night meeting off. Mr.. Erich
promised TO attend the national con-
vention if one is to be called, and de-
liver an address
NJ. L. Crawford of Dallas a delegate,
who arrived today, said that he was
not in favor of an Independent Demo-
cratic ticket, although he supposed
one would be named. If Democrats re-
frein from voting for Bryan it will be
because they are opposed to his cleo
ton; the same motive, he said should
constrain them to vote for Mckinley
If a gold standard Democratic candi-
date is nominated, Mr.. Crawford
thought it should be General Bragg Of
Wisconsin.
]. P. Smith of Fort Worth, who is
also a delegate from Texas, is also
among the arrivals. Delegate H. c..
Simms of Huntington, w. Va, and
Randolph Stalnaker of Wheeling ar
rived at noon. Both these gentlemen
favor an Independent ticket Mr.. Stall
maker favored as the independent can
didate Congressman John K. Kowen of
Maryland.

Another Statement.

Especial TO The Heraid.)
POCATELLO, Ida, Aug. 6.-The dis
patch which appeared in The Herald
of August 4, dated Idaho Falls, refer
ing to the scrap between ]. ]. Cusick
and Mayor Kasiska Of this city, is in
error Cusick was appointed manager
for the Pocatello waterworks about
six weeks ago, and Immediately in
creased the rate tc many consumers.
Among those to suffer was the city
and county officers. The increase was
unreasonable. and was objected to
strenuously by the mayor and city
council. A special meeting of the lat
er was called, who requested the board
f commissioners to increase the. as
oessed value of the plant from $4,000
to $4,000, which was done. This ac-
ton brought the owner, James A.
Murray. the capitalist. from Butte on
the scene. where he was confronted
with the situation, and after an ex-
PLANTATION evinced desire to deal fair
" by the water consumers. Cusick
was relieved at once, and George Win
tiers. the former manager, placed in
charge temporarily. Murray also Sc
cured a reduction of $4,000 in the as
sessed value of the property, leaving
it as before at $4,000 Cusick has been
subjected TO severe criticism by thirsty
officials and others, and it was this
that brought about the alteration with
Mayor Kasiska on Tuesday last, and
It is justly due to both gentlemen to
state that they did not come to blows,
nor did the mayor receive the terrible
beating reported in the Idaho Falls ar
ticle.
