MINNEAPOLIS PRIMARIES.
Gray Gets Democratic Nomination For
Mayor and Ames the Republican.
A BIG VOTE OUT.

Minneapolis, Sept. 10th. The result
of the primary election yesterday
was great surprise. Over 30, 600
votes were polled, an excess over the
gubernatorial vote of 1898 by about
5000.
. Ames, Republican candidate for
mayor, beat his opponent in the pri-
maries by over 2, 900 majority.
Mayor Gray defeated his opponent
easily and by large majority.
Megaarden, the present Republican
sheriff, was renominated.
Judge Elliott, after hard fight and
close result, won out against his Re-
publican opponent, Judge Steele. John
w. Arctander will be his opponent on
the Democratic ticket.
The result shows the Republican
ticket to have polled by odds the
largest vote which presages Republi
can success in November.

drunkenness in nearby town
which fits our town 80 well that l
am inclined to believe it was Chel-

we have more drinking and drunk

commission said that they had
seen more drunkenness here than
any place they had been making

ing fearless in denouncing abuses
and crime. SUBSCRIBER.

ROANOKE.
A Well Pleased Audience Witnessed
The Second Presentation.


Another well pleased audience
witnessed the second dramatic
presentation OF Hal Reds beauti-
full story Roanoke" at the opera
house last night.
No better idea of the attractive
ness of the play, its artistic pre-
sentation; the humor of some and
pathos of other of the characters,
can be cleaned than from the fact
that nearly half of last nights
audience was composed of those
who had witnessed it the night be-
fore.
The members of the cast did
better, If it were possible, than on
the previous night. Miss Nc
Donald, Miss Fox and Miss Jarvis
won additional laurels and today
the Vinita ladies are talking Of the
lovea5leness Of the former; the
naughty, aristocratic bearing of
Miss Fox who assumed the char
acter Of the conscienless ambitious,
money-loving Mrs. Peyton and the
clever impersonation Of Aunt
Dinah by Miss Jarvis who forced
continual laughter whenever she
was on the stage. The gentlemen
members personated the male
characters with such "truth to
lifeness" as intended by the au-
thor that their work can well be
grouped and described by the
words "clever and good"
Miss Mcdonald, during the first
act, sang "Lady Lou" and de-
lighted her hearers by her artistic
rendition. The lady has won the
hearts of all Vinita theatre-goers
and has a sweet, rich voice that
mas been carefully trained.

there were a goodly number of
shoppers in town and a satisfactory
trade was enjoyed.

Ever since the construction of the

Territory its local passenger rate be-
tween stations in the Indian Terri
tory has been on the basis OF five cents
mile. The customary rate of pas
senger fares on railroads except in

cents mile. The population of the
Indian Territory has grown rapidly;
there has been large increase Of
passenger traffic on this account, and
the Katy officials, recognizing the
wants of the people and the justice Of
so doing, have voluntarily arranged
to reduce the local passenger rate to

reduction will take effect about Nov

Plagiarism In Conversation.

1t is not only in literature that there
are plagiarists who appropriate and
thrive on other peoples ideas. Brilliant
conversationalists often flaunt a bor-
rowed plumage, which they have clev-
erly plucked from persons who studied
the questions discussed far more deep
ly than those who express themselves
so .glibly. 1T is hard" said an intel
lectual girl to writer in the New York
Tribune, "to have Maud. who never
does more than skim over book, calm
ly kidnap all my ideas about any new
publication and produce them in COM
pany as her own. She dresses them up
in lighter vein, which makes them all

talks as if she had read and thought
about the whole thing. OF course l can
not claim the ideas, and. indeed, they
are so twisted and altered that would
not want to own them; but. all the
same, they were mine originally, and
she gets cheap reputation of being
clever, well-read woman. which she
does not deserve in the very least"
ooh, am not proud" said Maud,
philosophically, not denying the i'm
parchment brought against her. "You

with the tenacity of barnacle. The
life of a worldly man seems sort Of

ali make her the more determined to
find out for herself. She certainly
does not like him because Of his vices.
