Maine, Oregon and Vermont, AN cleo
tion of some sort is in progress today.
In twenty one states full tickets of
state executive officers and legislatures
are to be elected, minor executive Off
GERS in eleven, and legislatures in
two. 1t is an Off year in politics and
the election is involved in much un-
certainty. To the usual influences of
an off year have been added the effects
of the miners strike and of grow
ing feeling against the Dingley tariff.
Forty-two states are voting for re-
representatives. to the Fifty eighth con
gress, 1878 in all, the total membership
having been increased by the reappor-
tionment under the twelfth census to
1856. Eight members, all republicans,
have already been elected-four from
Maine and two each from Oregon
and Vermont. For congress there are
$40 democratic nominees, while the re-
publicans have 1888, and the prohibi-
tionists SO in 16 states The demo
Gratis made no nominations in two New
York districts and in four Philadelphia
districts, while the republicans put up
no congressional candidates in Flori-
da, Georgia, Mississippi and South
Carolina, and in only one district in
Arkansas, one in Kentucky, one in
Louisiana, three in Illinois. three in
Illinois, tree In Tennessee, five in
Texas and two in Virginia. Two
women are among the candidates.
They are Mrs. Mary Burkhart. the
nominee of the prohibitionists in the

congress at large from Colorado.

Oyster Bay. Aug. 8.-Archbishop
Ryan called upon the President Mon
day and talked briefly with him about
the work being done among the In
dians by the commission to which lie
was appointed few months ago as
successor to Bishop Whipple. They
discussed also the Philippine frairs
question. the President speaking freely
and frankly Of his attitude in the mat
ter
Mr.. Roosevelt Ia satisfied thoroughly
that the Philippine frinrs have not the
confidence Of the natives. 1t is his
wish, therefore. to have withdrawn
from the archipelago the friars now
there, to whom the people will pay no
heed, and to replace them with good
men-as many from America as pos
sible-to whom the natives will listen
and in whom they will have confidence.
Archbishop Ryan. after his visit to
Sycamore Hill, said he agreed with
the President and Governor Taft on
the stand they are taking toward the
friars In the Philippines. He believed
the present furry among Catholics will
subside, and that the church as a
whole will realize that the President Is
acting for the best interests Of all con-
cerned.

Dubuque, Ia. Aug. G.-Two masked
men held up the Chicago, Burlington 4
Quincy Limited" for Minneapolis and
ST. Paul, two miles north of Savannah,
Illinois, at lao o'clock last night.
They cut OF the Adams express car,
forced the engineer to run up the track
and then blew up the car. The rob

when the tOrpedoes exploded the en-
gIneer quickly brought the train to u
stop.
One man boarded the engine and or
dered the engineer to run ahead after
the other man had uncoupled the ex-
press car. Trainmen hurried to Sa-

Since the awarding on July 16, Of
the first special semi-monthly prize
In the Auditorium stock contest at
Omaha, interest in 1t has been in
creasing rapidly. The prize. which
was1rontributed by the employing
printers Of Omaha, was $16O.50 cash
and was won by Ed. ]. Hamilton OF
Wilsonville. Neb. The money form
ing the special semimonthly prizes is
made up of gold, silver. nickel, copper
and paper money, and then divided
and put into two sacks without be-
ing counted. Mr.. Hamilton's guess
was 1888. which was the closest
to the amount $13254-in the larger
Of the two sacks.
August the Commercial prize,
contributed by members of the Omaha
Commercial club. will we awarded to
the person guessing the closest to the
amount In the larger Of the two sacks
Into which 1t has been divided. Each
special prize is not less than $50. nor
more than $500. and under the plan
adopted there is absolutely no one
who can tell what amount Is In the
larger sack until after 1t Ia unsealed.
Aside from the special semi-monthly
prizes, however. there is a great
deal Of interest being taken in
the Auditorium stock contest.
This could hardly fail to be the
case when there are 1901 prizes
hung mp. headed with the $4,000
cash prize given by the Defiance
Starch Co. of Omaha. and the
stock tickets are only twenty-five
cents. OF course only one person will
win the $4,000, and only one person
will win a 81 Zoo house and lot in
Omaha. but 999 other persons will
also win prizes, every one of which
will be worth many times the price
Of a guess. Persons securing tickets
now also have, free, an extra guess
on the next special semi-monthly
prize.
The regular prizes will be awarded
Immediately after the election next
November, in the order of their value,
to the 1901 persons guessing closest
to the total votes cast for all candi-
dates for governor in New York state

candidates at the last Ave elections

ton has been constantly asked me.

columns that one sees from time to
time are largely due to landslides from
the crater into the head Of Riviere
Blanche. The eruption of Inst night
was to be expected. We may expect
