LOST HIS VOTE.
Governor Stanley Neglected to
Register After Change
of Residence.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 7.-Although the
governor of the state of Kansas has the
reputation of being a we'll read lawyer.
as well as astute politician, he is hav-
ing an experience with the technicali-
ties of the ballot laws of the state.
Governor Stanley forsook his official
duties at Topeka Saturday night, just
to come down to Wichita to cast his
ballot. But he was careless in the mat
ter of registration and now the chief
executive of Kansas may be unable to
exercise his prerOgatiVe as a voter.
When Governor Stanley registered,
just before the spring election this year
he was a resident of Riverside, and
lived in the Second precinct of the Sec
ond ward About six weeks ago, how
ever, the governors household furni-
ture was removed from Riverside to 317
North Topeka avenue. This is in the
First precinct of the Third ward
When he visited the city in fair week.
he called up the city clerk and asked il
he was registered all right. The clerk
told him he was in the Second precinct
of the Second ward.
Governor Stanley says he intended
for the clerk to change him to the First
precinct of the Third ward, and he sup
posed it had been done.
This leaves the governor in q very
awkward predicament. Either he
thought a mere hint over the telephone
was enough to induce the city clerk to
violate the law in his favor, or the law
yer and governor was ignorant of that
feature which requires a voter to regis
ter in person.

PENNSYLVANIA.

Philadelphia, Nov. Election day in
the state of Pennsylvania opened under
excellent weather conditions which
promised to continue all day. The polls
opened at Z o'clock and will close at 7
% clock tonight. During the early VOt-
ing hours in this city, a light vote gen.
orally was pOlled and but little interest
was manifest in the election. Through
out the state where Lieut.. Col. Barnett,
the Republican candidate for state
treasurer, and VIM T. Greasy, his Dem
ocratic opponent, have made their
strongest bid for support, cOnSidera BILE
interest was shown. In Philadelphia
citizens are voting also on the question
of authorizing q S12, 10000 loan for the
Improvement of the water supply. The
indications are that the loan will be
authorized. The city of Lancaster is
also voting on a loan Of S1,3S2,000 for a
similar purpose.
Philadelphia. Nov. THE election at
noon was progressing quietly and re-
ports received from various sections of
the state showed that a light vote was
being pOlled- In a few Of the counties
where there are contests for local of
ficers, a heavier vote was cast. With
respect to the real state issue, the cleo
tiOn Of a state treasurer. some cutting
of Barnett, Republican, was reported.
To what extent this is going on can
not be learned owing to the secret bal
lot In Philadelphia the vote cast up to
noon was exceedingly light. In some
instances there was q falling off of 80
per cent compared with last year There
has been no disorder, although charges
of attempts at repeating and colonial
tiOn followed by the appointment of
Overseers to watch the conduct of the
election in the various precincts was
expected to lead to some disturbances.
1t is reported that an almost solid vote
is being cast in favor of the loan bill.
Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. THE heaviest
fog of the year operated against the
early voter and the morning vote was
lighter than usual. Very little interest
was manifested in the state election
and it seemed to be a foregone con-
clusion that the Republican ticket
would have the regular off year major
ity in Allegheny county.

THE Republican opposition in Ohio

''The election of Mclean means a

man and Her Rival.

Chicago, Nov. 7.-August Wischman,
a well known salOOnkeeper and his wife,
Rose, were shot and dangerously
wounded at 1:3O this morning, by Mrs.
Leona J. Lay, Wischman's divorced
wife. The shooting occurred at Thirty
fourth street and Cottage Grove avenue
as Wischman and his wife We re on their
way to their home. AS they passed the
corner their assaiIant stepped from the
shadow of a building and fired two
shots one of the bullets entered
and the other penetrated the right
breast of his wife. AS 1er two victims
fell the murderess fed but was cap
tured later by the police.
Mr. and Mrs. Wischman were taken
to Mercy hospital, where it was found
that Wischman is fatally injured.
Hopes for the recovery of his wife are
entertained. Mrs. Lay was taken to
the police station by her captOrs where
she admitted the shooting. She declares
she is the former wife of Wischman and
that she was prompted to the act by
jealousy. She said she married WiSch-
man in TaylOrville, III. Wischman is
80 years of age and married Rose a
week ago. She is 26 years old. Five
years before the man and the woman
who shot him were divorced. It is said
she was jealous of him and before had
attacked him with a knife because he
was attentive to the woman whom he

corner nearly two hours before she was
rewarded by seeing her intended vic

DunwOOdy and his wife, Wischman was
walking ahead with DunwOody and as
he reached the corner Mrs. Lay rushed
out and pressed the revolver against
his breast. Before a hand could be
raised in interference the bullet pene-

victim the murderess fired the second
shot and then fed. DR. DunwOOdy
turned his attention to his wounded

had been attracted by the shooting. She
at first denied having committed the
crime, but finally broke down and con-

Probable Fate of the Crew of the
Madeline.

Philadelphia, Nov. captain Little
hales, of the British steamship Kurdis-
tan. which has arrived here from the
west coast of Africa, brings informa-
ton regarding the probable fate of the
missing French steamship Madeline,
which sailed from Valparaiso last Aug
ust for Havre and disappeared COM
pletely. From information gathered at
the Kurdistan's stopping points there
appears to be little doubt that the Mad
cline was wrecked near the Pacific side
of the entrance to the Straits of Ma
gellan and that her crew was captured
by the Patagonia cannibals.
From lights seen burning at night.
Captain Littlehales thinks the crew
sought refuge at Otter Point, a short
distance outside of the straits en-

Davenport, Ia. Nov. THE weather
is mild. Much interest is shown in the
election, both parties working hard to
get out full vote.
A heavy vote will be polled-
Des NOines, Nov. 7.-Reports received
up to 1 o'clock from various sections of
the state indicate that the vote Will be
larger than at first anticipated although
nCS so large as a year ago. The con-
tinuatiOn of rainy and cloudy weather
has had the effect of bringing the farm
ers out. The only disquieting report to
the Republicans is from Davenport to
the effect that the Germans are voting
the Democratic ticket on account Of
expansion. Chairman Weaver of the
Republican state central committee
states that his prediction of $4,000 ma
jOrity for Shaw is too small and that
the farmers Will make it larger. The
cities all report a fair vote but interest
is lacking.
Sioux Falls, Nov. 1T is an ideal
election day throughout the state. Dis
patches from twenty counties indicate
that a good vote is being pOlled in the
towns but in the country precincts the
vote is light.
Marshalltown, Nov Rain retarded
the voting and not more than one third
of the city poll had been cast up to
noon. The interest is intense, however,
and is especially centered on the cleo
tiOn Of sheriff. 1t is reported that a
riot occurred at Legrande over the al

Ex-Lieutenant John Y. Fillmore Blake
of the Sixth United States cavalry.
graduate of West Point, now holds the
rank of colonel in the Transvaal army,
commanding a regiment OF 500 Ameri-
can and Irish rough riders, most of
whom have had military experience.
Blake is daring man of the cowboy
type. He was appointed to the mill
tary academy from Arkansas, and one
of his classmates recalled today that
when he first appeared at the military
academy he afforded a great deal of
amusement to the other cadets by rea-
son of his wild western appearance and
manneriSmS.
He graduated in 1876, standing high
in his class and was assigned to the
Sixth cavalry. then serving in Texas.
When his regiment was ordered north
he found army life too tame for his
adventurous spirit and after about
eight years service resigned and went
west. He subsequently entered busi-
ness in Detroit, where he married. He
left there four or five years ago for
the Transvaal and at last accounts was
making considerable money in mining.

ment at Gen. Otis report that General
Wheaton's expedition will not reach the
Gulf of Iingayen until tomorrow.
Without waiting for Gen. Wheaton to
reach his designation Gen. Macarthur
has commenced his advance, while Gen.
Lawton has been compelled to remain
inactive because Of the fact that the
heavy rains have submerged the coun-
try.
The effect of the delay in Gen. Wheat

by Gen. Macarthur will be, the Off
cials fear, that Agufnaldo will again es-
cape from the cul-de-sac in which it
was hoped to corner him.
