The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-07-18

that to each man and to each woman
receiving the third and fourth largest
number of votes in the great contest,
will be given without money and with
out cost, a standard high grade bicy-
Gle, fully equipped with up-to-date Ian
tern, bell and cyclometer. This will
have the effect of allowing the voters
to cast their coupons for their friends,
even if their names are not at the top
or next to the top. 1t will increase
the number of fortunate ones by four,
and should serve to add to the interest
of the struggle, which is now well un-
der way. If the people who are so
lucky as to win bicycles cannot go on
the trip with the Imperial quartette,
they can at least organize a quartette
of their own and arrange for a century
run on their own account.
The merry war is on, and the canno-
made of coupons waged fast and furious
all day yesterday. The coupons count
ing five will appear no more, the new
set counting four each, beginning this
morning. Any coupons counting five,
which are in the possession of those
wishing to cast them will be received
at the G l o e counting room up to 9
o'clock tomorrow evening.
Take a real good look at the table
below and see what a representative
list Of the people who belong to the
immense corps of workers in st. Paul
are included. Retail stores, wholesale

a glance at the list shows that nobody
has been very slow. The most sensa-
tional feature to date has been the
phenomenal jump into first place made
by George DAM Jr., of the Great
Northern. It is quite apparent that
Mr.. Danz has more friends than the
Indians, and that they are determined
that he shall start off fair and square
with small margin in case Of emer-
gency. They waited for the last day
for the five coupons, and then fell to
with whoop, and as a result, Mr..
DAM now leads the procession with
a chance to stop for a breathing spell.
If you wonder If he is popular read
between the figures.
Mr.. Newman, of Mannheimer Broth
ers. made a good gain, but Is now in
secnd place. John T. Kelly, who is
presumably no relation of the we'll
known comedian of the same name
brings the name Of Michaud Brothers
well up, having captured third place
from Ned Cummings, the Milton Dairy
man. w. J. Feeders, of Adam Decker
& Co. is now in fifth place.
Spurred on by the example set for
her the day before by Miss Maud
Gould, Of the Omaha, Miss Theresa
GuthunZ. of Habighorst & Co., took
flying leap to the top and at least
succeeded in landing next to the lead
er, Miss Harriet Finn, of Schuneman
& Evans. Miss Gould goes to third
place. while next to her in point of
number is Miss Annie Valee of Field
Schlick & Co., who would undoubtedly
have got even more votes had it not
| been for the fact that her firm Of en-
ployers and all her fellow employees
were away on their outing to White
| Bear lake during the day
| Miss Birdie Benner, who is with the
| Goden Rule, and who has been climb
| ing up quietly, now occupies fifth
place, and her friends assert she will
| be heard from later.
| 1t is a pretty race among the ladies
and the votes are SO evenly distributed
| that anybody may be in the lead next
week.
