1t was jolly load of ladies who came
down from Silver City Wednesday
night to assist their sister Rebekahs in
installing the new officers of the lodge
here. They were Mesdames W.H.Town-
send, s. Heidelberger, Fred Crete, ST.,
s. N. Moe, j. Brunzell, Jr., Abel Brun-
zell and Misses Julia Allen and Win
chester, the last named, a young lady
from Oregon, who is visiting relatives
in Silver City. When you get a lot of
Silver City ladies together they always
have a jolly time, unless it be at fu-
neral and even then it is difficult to
suppress their spirit of fun.

Judge Handy got right into business
in the probate court, almost before his
official chair was warmed and before he
became accustomed to the title Judge"
by being called upon to try the Della
mar constable upon charge of exceed
ing his official authority, by arresting
and incarcerating in the town cooler a
victim of too much bug juice and
maker of too much noise. The new
judge settled the matter very promptly,
by dismissing the case and assessing the
costs upon the complaining witness.
The custom of assessing the complain
ing witness with the costs is a good one
and has tendency to stop making triv-
ial complaints.

A letter received from Geo. NJ AL
way, dated Denver 10th instant, stated
that he was feeling like fighting cock
and would leave there for home We'd
nesday or Thursday and would arrive
here Saturday or Sunday. In the rec
ord of marriage licenses published in
the Rocky Mountain News on Tuesday,
we find the name of George NJ. Away,
DeLamar, Idaho, coupled with that of
Ida S. Richards. George, doubtless,
never thinking that we scan all our eX-
changes so closely that not even an one
line item like that can escape us, ex
poets to arrive here with Mrs. Away
and take the town by surprise. We
wish we could arrange it to have the
band out to surprise him. Well, Geo.
has the best wishes of all DeLamar for
the happiness of Mr.. and Mrs. Away.
We made mention last week of some
fun the boys had with an auctioneer
who opened up down town. The night
following tie one mentioned, the boys
carried matters great deal too far with
the poor man, breaking windows and
even giving him a chance of accusing
some of them of stealing goods from
him. That is usually the wind-up such
matters. Well-meaning men, who coun-
tenance the starting of good natured
rowdyism, usually have cause to regret
it, because a worse element gets a lii
cense to carry it to the extreme of van
dalism.

THE VOTE FOR WOMEN is AS FOLLOWS.

The contest has developed such pop
ularDty that the G | has decided To
add two additional prizes for the wom-
en- and two for the men, What these
prizes are will be announced in the
u o b e tomorrow. There will thus be
eight prizes for eight popular people.
AS an earnest that a number of ST.
Paulltes are taking an active interest
In the game, it may be stated that
no less than 26,3 45 votes have already
been cast for the various candidates.
A very interesting state of affairs
developed in the votes sent in yester-
day. Two railroad people, who started
without hurrah, have quietly crept up
on the leaders and are now occupying
second honors in both classes. For
the men, l.. K. Neuman, of Mannhei-
mers', has a faid lead for first place,
having jumped from second position
past Ned Cummings, of the Milton
Dairy company, who led all day yes
terday. Mr. Neuman has a lead of but
400 votes over George DAM, the popu-
lar Great Northern man, whose friends
say they will win for him if it takes
until Thanksgiving. Mr. Neuman has
3,445 votes, as against 3,045 for Mr..
Danz.
Mr.. Cummings, who was in first
place, had 2,315 votes when the count
was finished last night.
NO. man is 1. D. Tussey, of Nc
votes to his credit.
Miss Harriet Finn, Of Schuneman q
Evans, has cut out the running for the
ladies and has shown herself a speedy
competitor. She is still in the lead
with good lead over her fair rivals
At the end of the count it was found
she had 2,030 votes. Next to her comes
Miss Maud Gould, the attractive young
~ nfe, ,k1 L -,
the office of the comptroller of the
Omaha road. She, like Mr.. DAM in the
mems contest, started quietly, but
with plenty of popularity, and it is a
safe prediction that she will be heard
from often during the contest She has
now to her credit just LAO votes and
is followed by Miss Annie Vallee, of
Field, Schlick & Co, who has $50 votes
Miss Theresa GuthunZ, of Habighoyst
d Co., who now has received 795 votes,
has been headed by both the young
ladies mentioned and is now in fourth
place with plenty of chance to get up
again.
Another peculiar coincidence in the
vote cast yesterday, is that two new
candidates, one a man the other a girl
each coming from a representative
clothing house, have been added to the
already long list of candidates, and
have in consequence added to the in
terest of the affair.
Miss Emma Johnson jumped into
the race from the Boston and has to
start off with ITO votes. Her contem-
porary is Fritz Horges, who is connect
ed with the firm of l.. G. Hoffman, and
who begins his race with 215 certified
coupons.
The fight from now on will take a
definite turn as to the number of can
didates, although the places they oc-
cupy is subject to change until the
very last day arrives. With a large
number of people looking not to miss
a single chance the evenness of the
contest can be predicted at this time.

State Auditor Dunn yesterday noti-
fled the accounting officers of the var
lous state institutions, that, in accor-
dance with the suggestions of the legis-
latlVe committee on public accounts and
expenditures, he would hereafter de-
cline to issue warrants until he had
received receipted vouchers therefore
Under the old plan the vouchers were
sometimes several months and even
two years in reaching the capitol. The
notification to the institutions is as
follows:
Section 1881, General Statutes of 1894 (sec.
Z, chap 269, G. L., 1880, requires that re-
ceiped vouchers shall be deposited in this
office within thirty days after the issuance of
an order on the institution treasurer for the
payment of the same. Our voucher record
shows that very few institutions comply with
this law and some are behind from sixty
days to two years. / do not charge this

HEIDELAUFF'S GUILT.
Some Doubt of 1t Shown by the Sui
cide's Attorney.

ASHLAND, Wis, July 16.-Attornev
A. w. Sanborn made a statement to-
day which goes to show that r. c.
Heldelauff, who committed suicide yes
terday, did not pay Judge Nelson's
taxes amounting to $1,13643, with a
Forged county order, as City Treasurer
Marshall testified. Sanborn's state
ment is to the effect that Heidelauff
paid this tax with a check on the First
National bank for $3.50, and a city GER
tificate for 1898. Both the check and
the certificate, with the proper in
dorsements. were exhibited TODAY by
Mr.. Sanborn and show quite con-
clusively that Heidelauff could not have
used any county order at all in pay
ment of Nelson's taxes. The district
attorney will investigate.
