An Election Guessing Contest.

F. S. Williams, the druggist at the corner
of 9th and F streets was This morning de-
clared the winner of a contest started dur
ing the campaign last fall by George W.
Spier. the jeweler at 80 9th street. for the
first correct guess of the electoral vote for
President. Mr.. Williams guessed that Nc
kinley would receive 27l votes and Bryan
11G. His guess was made October 81 last.
AS a reward for his fortunate forecasting
MIR. Williams will receive the Rogers group,
entitled Politics., which is now being ex-
hibited i'm Mr.. Spier's window 9th street
just above the avenue. The award was
made by committee, consisting of Messrs
w. H. Keyworth, Sebastian Aman and
Otto Wehner
There were about 800 or 1000 answers
to the problem submitted in the competi-
ton. but Mr.. Williams is the only correct
guess. He figured out with exactness the
total number of votes each candidate Sc
cured in the electoral college but in arriy-
ing at this conclusion he made a few er-
rcrs. For instance, he put the ten votes
Of Kansas in the Mckinley column as
well as the four of South Dakota On the
other hand. he surmised that all of Ken
tucky's votes would be cast for BRYAN.
included all nine of California's votes for
Mckinley. whereas one was cast for
Bryan. But these errors exactly counter
balanced one another, and the total re-
suits counted up to the correct figures
NJ. r. Ward of 625 I'd street northeast
came second in the contest, figuring 2I2
votes for Mckinley to LIS for Bryan The
tnlrd nearest correct solution was submit
ted by w. G. Collins of The Evening Stars
composing force. who calculated McKin-
iey total as 2I3 votes and his opponents

ways considered herself the most advanced

horsemen and citizens in general would
open their eyes If they were to come to
Washington oftener. If they would only

horsemen who cannot keep their horses
up shoe them properly. and am sure they

1t is an acknowledged fact that we have

HOTTER THAN USUAL
CONTINUED HOT SPELL BREAKS
THE RECORD OF THE LOCAL
BUREAU,
FOR SEPTEMBER, AT LEAST.
1T WAS WARMER FOR A HALF A
DAY ONCE LAST
YEAR.
OBSERVER TALKS ABOUT A Low.
If 1t Retches st. Paul Today There
WIFI Be Showers and Cooler
Temperature.

Nearly every person yesterday had
something to say about the weather be-
ing warm. AS a, matter of fact, it was
worse thar that, and even Observer
Lyons admitted that it was about the
warmest spell for this time of year that
the books in his office showed for a
couple of decades. On Sept. II, 1896, the
thermometer in the weather bureau
marked 96 in the shade, but the hot
wave was of short duration, lasting
only part of a day. Since the Sd of
the present month the maximum tenn
perature has ranged from 81 to 80 de-
grees, the Cnly day it fell lower than
SO being on Monday. The temperature
has been something unusual since Mon
day for this tine of year, and the av-
erage has been about Is degrees above
the normal. Such a continued stretch
of hot weather, Observer Lyons says,
beats anything in the way of past rec
ords forSSeptembers for years. There
was a Glow" hanging around the
Northwest, and the weather man said
the indications were that there would
be rain and showers today. This was
not in the nature of a forecast, but
might be expected. If the rain did not
come, the weather would be as warm
today as it had been in the past six
days

THIEVES ROUND Up.
Two Men With Records Landed in
New York.

Supt Weber of the local Pinkerton agency.
received a telegram yesterday from New
York announcing the arrest in that city of
Prentice Tiller and Gus Lawrence, alias
'Hawkshaw" Tiller is one of a gang of bold
to rob mail boxes The gang operated in all
the large cities, end the pan was to have
one of the gang dressed letter carrier,
with full uniform, cap and bag open the
boxes on the street corners and take out the
mail The business districts were played eX
clusively, and the checks and drafts secured
were cashed by the thieves.
Some years ago the gang operated in Min
neapolis and two of the number, Mood and
Webster. were captured and gwen four years
in saltwater. Tiler has always managed to
get the best of the DEAL although he was re-
leased from the Michigan penitentiary in
June last after serving three years. He was
taken back to Kansas City, Mo-, but man
aged to escape from the deputy having him
in charge. So long as the gang stole from
the United States the Pinkertons did not take
any particular interest in their capture. Some
of the checks cashed however, were palmed
off On members of the Bankers Protective
ASSOCIATION, and as the Pnkertons are en-
ployed by the association, Tiller was soon
run down. ,1
Lawrence, alias ssHawkshaw, Supt. Weber

son who went through room occupied by
