| Fred x. Gunster succeeded in get
| ting into fourth place in The Trbune's 8
Educational Contest by his work yes
terday. He now leads Herbert Thomp-
son. of Carbondale, who has held that
place for Il long time, by ten points
this morning. Mr.. Gunster has also
quite a good lead for the first prize of
$40 in gold, leading Mr.. Kpp by "a
points.
Yesterday was a rather slow day in
The Tribune's Educational Contest, but
as the two previous days were unusu-
ally active this was only to be expected.
Another change was made in the po-
sitions. J. A. Havenstrite, of Moscow,
snapped twelfth place with Homer
Kresge, of Hyde Park. Maxwell Shep-
herd, of Carbondale, and Leroy Il. STAN
ton, of Scranton, also improved their
scores. Nine working days are all that
are left for the contestants to make up
for lost time and try to win one of the
two special prizes for the ones who
bring in the largest number of points
during June. These special prizes are
we'll worth trying for and there should
be no further delay on the part of con-
testants or else they will be too late.
1t seems too bad that the young ladies
are not represented among the first six
leaders who have done the most work
thus far this month
Following is the corrected standing of
the six contestants who have made the
most showing so far in june:

CHANGED THEIR MINDS,
Candidates for Mine Inspector De-
eide, as Matter of Precaution,
to Go Into Party Primaries.

The candidates for mine inspector de-
cided. late Wednesday night, that it
was best to register. like the other cam
didates, and accordingly the six Repub-
licans, through Attorney j. Il. Watkins,
registered with County Chairman Tay-
lor and paid $15 each as an assessment.
This action was the result of sugges-
tions from the party leaders. There
was no agreement they could reach
which would prevent the Democrats
from making nominations, and if some
two were on the ticket in Il party
column it would give them an advant-
age over the others, and, besides, would
give these two grounds for contest If
some other two had the highest num-
ber of votes.
Mr.. Watkins and the candidates are
still of the opinion that it is only neces-
sary for them to register with the
county commissioners, but as a matter
of precaution it was decided to waive
the agreement of Wednesday after
noon, and go into the primaries.
The Democrats will likely nominate
Mr. Moore and some one of the six Re-
Dublicans. The three or four, as the
case may be- who will not receive party
nominations are expected to investi-
gate a case-stated to determine which
Is the legal way for candidates for in
spector to get their names on the bal
lots. The court will likely anticipate
the suit and be prepared to readily act
upon the question.

sisting of the following ladies: Miss

ton, Miss DeGraw, Miss Gertrude Nc

entation speech was made by DR.. Her.
