The Governorship still hangs in
the balance and it will require the
official count to definitely determine
who has been elected Governor.
Unofficial returns favor Lee andit is
probable that he will pull through
with>about 100 majority. Gamble
and Burke are elected to congress
by 5U00. The Republican State
ticket from 1t, Gov. down is elected
by majority ranging from 1000 to
5000. Reliable figures on the amend
ments are not obtainable, but it
is thought that women suffrage is
defeated, while The dispensary and
referendum amendments have carried.
The poor farm proposition carried in
this county by 440. The Senatorial
Legislative and county candidates
as reported elected by this paper last
week have been officially declared
elected.

Lieutenant General John Nj. Scho-
field, retired, and recalled from
private life to act as military advisor
to President Mckinley during the
war with Spain, said recently:
whether this war be of brief or pro-
longed duration it has done one thing
Of incalculable value to the country,
and that is, it has aroused the patriot
ism of the people which lies too long
dormant in times of peace. In fact,
almost the only institution to excite
the military spirit in the youth of the
land has been a show-Buffalo Bills
Wild West-and in that respect Col.
Cody's exhibition is real institution,
rather than a show"
paid to any sort Of an amusement eX-
hibition? When it's character is I'M
derstood, Gen. Schofeld's compliment
is justified. It is distinctively an
international military tournament of
real soldiers from the cavalry and
artillery Of England, Germany,
Russia, Cuba and the United States.
Over 100 Indian chiefs and warriors
from the six great tribes show the
savage soldier; Mexican Vaquerous,
Guaches Of Argentina; Arabs and
Moors of Asia and Africa have also
seen service in the armies of their
respective countries. The band of
Cuban veterans, wounded and maim-
ed until their fighting days are ended
still can sit in the saddle and show
the stamp Of men who have fought so
vallantly for free Cuba. A superb
military spectacle, Gus ter's Last Bat
tie produced with splendid special
scenery and hundreds of soldiers and
savages in mimic combat as realistic
as the real, is still another thing that
will excite in everyone the desire to
see the greatest Of all exhibitions
when it appears at Duluth August
9th. Excursion rates will be made on
all lines of travel to the Wild West on
that day.

qualities. There are increased premi-

iery. honcyforestry and mineral ex-
hlbits will, each be given the careful
attention merited by these important
Industries. The amusement program
is to be greatly strengthened as well
as the exhibition features. The bus
mess men Of ST. Paul have contribut-
ed purse OF $1,000 for pacing race
aud the business men OF Minneapolis
a like amount for troting race. The
contribution of these sensational
events makes it possible for the Agri-
cultural Society to announce by far
the best amusement program ever
witnessed at a state fair. Send d
postal card request to e. w. Randall,
Secret airy, Hamline, Mimi, and a
copy Of this premium list will be mail
ed to you.

Chalk Creek man reached for his gun.
Instantly Soapy was between them:

The two men put away their guns,

game went on.
Soapy signed to the Texas man to ap-
proach the bar: Here's a hundred for

cigar and take the trail to Texas.

A few minutes later cigar went
burning along the trail that lay by the
banks of the Rio Grande.
That, in substance, was the story told
by the miner, verified by "Sapolio, -
and printed in the Morning Chronicle.
Later Soapy went travelling, and ia

from Juneau. I answered that one

Soapy said, and he answered from New
Orleans.
A few weeks later he walked Into the

night, and of course he would not hest
tate to take any sheep of ours that
might happen to get mixed up with his
band"
That meant a roundup on the Lamn
range right away and a counting Of
sheep to tell how many were missing.
So we hurried home to ask for an early
dinner. The best time to round up the
sheep is after o'clock. as they begin
feeding toward night in the direction
of the sleeping grounds. They always
sleep on top of high hill and every
sheep in the same SANDY bed every
night.
We ate our dinner and then went to
the top of the sleeping hill with the
first sheep. There were four of US.
Louise to the right, the Indian to the
left and Gussie and I in the rear, while
five dogs punched the sheep. There
were 5000 sheep to drive into the home
corral and count. They don't easily
drive to the home corral If they can
help it, for they are afraid of shearing.

before the first issue Of the Chronicle,
and Soapy gave him a big fuieral.
Standing at the open grave he opened
champagne pouring some into the
grave and drank some, saying as he
did so, Here's to Joe's soul over there,
If there Is any over there" and passed
the bottle to his next friend.
The description of that funeral which
Hartigan wrote for the first issue gave
the Chronicle a start and made 1T well
come at the exchange table before 1t
was two days old. It's a mistake to
assume that gamblers do no good Joe
Simmens helped make the Chronicle.

his eyes dancing. He was a miner by

ter.
The miner had admitted, In the in
terview, that he had been in the habit
of bucking the tiger at the Orleans
Club, kept by one Sapolio Smythe, and
that he had dropped several small
wads there. Finally one of his men up
at the mines, who used to deal faro at
Ell PaSo, said he could beat Soapy' 8
game, but 1t would take time and
money. For five hundred dollars to
him in hand paid this Texas man would
go down to Creole, get job dealing at
the club, and allow his friend to break
the bank.
It was so simple and easy that the
miner, finding himself heeled, gave the
Texas man the money, the man got the

new man fooling with the box and
when the game opened had another
switched in.
At first the Chalk Creek man lost
heavily, but he cared no more for his
money than the Texas man did for his
life, and laughed as he unloaded. His
roll was half gone before he won bet.
Now he left off joking and began to
watch the dealer In little while his
money was flowing into the till again,
and he began to double up. There was
no Improvement. The miner hitched
a six-shooter around so that the Texas
man could see it, and the Texas mans
mouth began to twitch. Reaching into

He called his dog and gathering up
