Remarkable as it may seem, the
heaviest contributor to the expenses
of the recent presidential campaign
was the United States government
The amount of campaign literature
sent through the mails free on the
franks of the congressman would have
cost $1O,OOO,OOO in postage stamps I'M
der other circumstances. To this
must be added s5,OOO0OO as the cost
of sending out information from the
various departments in response to
campaign demands, making total OF

A family living in Susquehanna Pa,
has a crow that gets drunk on beer
He steals into the cellar and manages
to break a bottle of beer, and drinks
what remains in the bottle. Then he
carries the pieces of the broken bot
tie out of the window and disposes Of
them so that no trace remains of the
theft. When he presents himself up
stairs his gait is unsteady, his voice
is hoarse, and he looks upon the world
with bloodshot eyes and in an evil
temper.

Austin, TeXas.-The house OF
Thursday settled the Bennett-Bri-
gance contest case from Grimes coun-
ty by seating Mr.. Brigance, the contest
ant. The question involved was one Of
the correctness of the count in several
boxes, and contestant from the begin
ming served notice on contestee that he
would challenge the accuracy Of GER
tain tally sheets. Contestee opposed
the opening of the voting boxes and the
recounting of the vote, but made no eff
fort, although afforded ample time to
do so, to establish the truth of the re-
suit as shown upon the tally sheets at
tackled by the contestant. When the
committee on privileges and elections,
by actual count of the ballots, after
opening the ballot boxes which 1t had
sent for and obtained, found that Mr.
Brlgnnce had received a majority or the
votes, and decided by vote of IA to l
to so report, contestee concluded to ask
for an opportunity to establish the ac-
curacy OF the tally sheets questioned by
contestant and pettioned the house
therefor that morning. The petition
was denied, however, and Mr.. Brgance
was seated. His case was conducte
by Messrs. Cochran and Dockett of this
city, who handled it with great skill.
A great deal of important committee
work has been done in the house this
week and it is expected that in few
days now such important measures a.
the fee bill, the occupation tax bill AMI
kindred pieces Of proposed legislation
will be in shape for consideration. Pre-
liminary hearings have been had on all
these bills, including the bill to reduce
passenger fares on railroads, and they
are now in the hands Of sub committees
for final disposition before being killed
or reported back.
The finance committee, after consid-
cradle Introductory diminishing, has
decided to take the appropriation bill
of two years ago as basis and to pro-
coed therefrom in making provisions
for the maintenance of the State gov
eminent for the next two years, and the
indications are that there will be little
IL any increase in the totals as com
pared with those of the Twenty-tour'h
legislature.
Provision has been made for the APP
pointment of a joint house and senate
committee to reform the Judicial dis
tricts and, If necessary, to cut down
their number, but from present ap-
pearances very little Will be done IN
this direction, to be called for that es-
1ecial purpose.

the rwo teams lined up as follows:

In the first half the school team kicked
off and the Alumni advanced the ball by
center plays to their territory bnt finally
lost it for failing to make gains. The
school team sent Lyons, Gilbert and Pen
hallegan around the ends for good gains
and soon secured their first touchdown'
Gilbert making brilliant run, but fail
ing at the kick for goal.
The Alumni kicked off and the ball was
stopped way down in the school tear1's
territory, but they advanced it by their
center plays and end runs and before long
had secured another touchdown. This
time Gilbert made the goal.
The ball was again put into play and
was stopped in the school teams terri
tory, and the Alumni held the boys down
until the ball went over to them, but
time was called before they could do any
thing with 1t. This left the score at the
end OF the first half 10 too.
The second half was simply repeti-
ton OF what happened in the first, the
Alumni only securing the ball afew times
and then they lost it for failing to make
gains. The school team ran the score up
to 26 in the entire game. The Alumni
show the lack OF practice and the team
work which the school team had down
to a science and the interference OF the
Alumni was also poor and their only
play was through the center. In the
second half Kohlhaas was substituted
for Distel. For the Alumni Ellis and
Borgo played the best game.
The school team showed tbs result OF
faithful practice and played the game to
perfection. Their half backs and full
made some fine runs, the stacking OF their
ends was also good work. Reeder and
Goodsole made some goods gains through
the Alumni center, both playing a very
fast game,
The Alumni team is anxious for an
other whack at the school team and
there is talk OF a game a week from Sat.
urday which will give the Alumni team
more time to practice, which they are
sadly in need OF.

Charles MartinSOn In
stantIy Killed This
Morning.
An Inquest Will BE Held
This Afternoon, which VIII Pr0bab-
~ Explain How the Unfortunate
Affair Oecurred-NOtes.

A fatal accident occurred at 2 O'Clock
this morning at No. shalt, Calumet
branch OF the Calumet and Hecla mine,
which resulted ia the instant death OF a
trammer named Peter Martinson. The
details OF the unfortunate affair are not
all clear as yet and will be brought out
at the inquest which will be held this
afternoon. Mine Inspector Hall inyesti-
gated the affair and from what he could
learn the accident happened about as
follows: Through some mistake the
skip loaded with rock was pulled to the
top of the shaft house where it parted
from the rope and went laundering
down the shaft. Exactly how the mis-
take was made or how the engineer let
the skip go back in the shaft is not
known, but will be investigated when he
is put on the witness stand this after
noon.
Martinson and two partners were at
the 18th level in the north shaft, putting
in the gate-they heard a noise ia the
shaft and Martinson was struck in the
back of the right shoulder by something
sharp which penetrated his body coming
out on the other side. When his part
ners ran to his aid he was dead. They
have been unable to find what went
through his body, but from the wound
it was probably sharp piece of iron.
Martinson's body was taken to the
hospital and later removed to Bloy's
morgue where it will remain until the
funeral takes place.
Martinson was Swede 20 years OF age
and has no relatives here. He had been
working in the mine for a number OF
years and has brother in this country
somewhere, but his whereabouts cannot
be ascertained. de belonged to the
Swedish B .nevolent society and was also
a member OF the Knights OF the Golden
Eagle. The arrangements for thefuneral
have not yet been made.
The skip damaged the shaft all the way
down and did not stop until it got to
the 43rd level. Inspector Hall informed
Coroner Sowden and Officer Dryden sum-
moned jury. They got together this
morning at Bloy's but adjourned until
this afternoon at Justice Fishers, where
the testimony OF the witnesses will be
taken.
