EVERYBODY GUESSING
INTEREST IS NOW AT FEvEE HEAT.
The Great Buffalo Exposition Con- test is Nearing an End and the Winners are Still
 in Doubt.

Interest in the Buffalo contest is at fever heat. Only two days more remain to cast the favorite ballot so merrtly chased for the past six weeks.
 follows:
 Friends, fellow citizens and followers of furious course-are you there, If so, respond. We, the candidate stand ready to have the verdict pronounced-yes or no.
 The suspense is becoming something terrible to withstand. and the strain can be born but a little longer.
 The question to the public is are you wtd us or, ag'in us?"
 Coupon chasing has become such a pleasant pasttme with certain Montgom- erians. that it will be many day before they forget that coupons are worthless, after September 10th, The Advertiser
 Chasers have been busy early and late for the past several weeks and the crop that has been gathered will be hard to estimate until after Tuesday midnight: It will be plenty though, and of that all are satisfied of. but for whom, that's the point. What a terrible anxious seat some are placed upon. Please MT. Tues day midnight, hurry up.
 Betting Is even being indulged in. by some of the more sporty element, of course One person was heard yesterday to venture the statement that he would bet 50c--then~ he hesitated. then he made it 75 that he could tell by Il o'clock Tues day night who, would win. It IS not necessary to. say, he had no takers, for every body got next at once, but when a fellow came along shortly after and volunteered to bet A to a raw lime that nobody knew anything about it. the fel- low with the 75 cents got lost in the crowd.
 This race is evidently at a stage when the sporting fraternity does not care to interfere. To tell the truth. its anybody's race up to date. The proposition stands-vote late and early, often and all day. Don't let uT.-con- fidence deceive you, for the pest man is bound to win. The question is, whc' 5 the best man. Send in your coupons, don't get left for it will surely be warm finish and 1t comes tomorrow at midnight, Tuesday. Sept. 10. Don't forget the hour nd fa

Hogg and Towne slandered.

An Austin CTex) paper few days ago
 published the following item of news; :,
 The representatives of the oil syndi-
 cates of which former Governor J. $.
 Hogg and former United States Sen Senator Charles A. Towne are at the head ar rived here today to oppose the measure now before the Legislature which pro ptSo vides for a tax of per cent on the gross receipts of tho oil producers of Texas. The Standard oil Company has also sent a lobby here to defeat the bill. "
 Surely there must be some mistake here. 1t cannot be possible that Hogg and Towne are fighting proposition to tax corporations. Let the Texas papers tell us that Venus has swapped orbits with Neptune; that the Rio Grande has l changed it's course and is now emptying | into the Pacific, or that tourists have ceased trying tD smuggle opals and drawr | work across the border from Mexico, and
 we may believe them. But when they l say that James S. Hogg and Charles A 1 Towne are opposed to having the people

PENALTY FOR THE CRIME.
If President Recovers, Maximum Sentence Would Be Ten Years

Two methods of could be arraigned before a Justice oi Erie County, and he could demand ar examination and would have the right fense. The prisoner could waive these formalties. and elect to go before the Grand Jury of Erie County. The Grand Jury could then find an indictma ant foI assault in the first degree under ScItior 217 of the Penal Code. This section state: that:
 "A person who, with intent to kill human being, or to commit felony upon the person or the property of the ona assaulted, or of another. assaults another with a loaded firearm, or any means or force likely to produce death, degree"
 Section 22O of the Penal Code describes the penalty as follows:

 The assassination of President Lincoln and Garfield occurred in the District of Columbia. For their crimes the assassins were punishable under the laws Of the District of Columbia the United Statei laws.
 An act ofCongress prescribing penalty for offenses against the person of tho President or other United States officials would. according to legal authorities, take precedence over the Penal Code of th' State of New York in the case of thu man who made the attempt on Presiden' McKiniey's life. A search ot the United States statutes since 1873 does not show that any such enactment has been made by Congress.
 It would not be possible to intiict any greater punishment on the Anarchist Me man by any act of the Legislature fixinf a more severe penalty for an attempt OF the life of the President. The death of President Mckinley would result in the trial of Nieman for homi 1 eide and his conviction would mean deatl l in the electric chair
