News Notes.
The county candidates are all in.
The candidates for nine possible offices
to be fill are thirty-five. The closest
race, and the most interesting one will
be between the contestants for sheriff,
county superintendent for public in
struction and legislators.
BY the quick work of a travelling man
on the westbound Seaboard Air Line
train passing through Tallahassee at 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon, an old lady
passenger narrowly escaped being Sc
riously burned. In reflIing her alco-
hol lamp, which she had in a car
window and on which she was heat
ing some tea, the alcohol accidentally
caught fire. Some of the burning LIQUID
fell into her lap and for a few min
utes it looked as if serious accident
would take place. The passenger sit
ting next to her in the car took HIS
hat and beat out the flames before any
serious injury was done.

BOTH MAD GAINS.
Republican Plurality in Maine Now
Estimated at $4,000.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 14.-Returns
from the small towns in distant parts
of the state and a careful revision of
previous figures place the Republican
plurality in the state election at about
$1,000.
Returns from $50 cities towns and
plantations out of $50 give William t.
Cobb (Rep.), 1884; Cyrus w. Davis
(Dem.), 5O,017. Tile same places in
1900 gave Hill (Rep.) 1854; Lord
(Dem) 39,714. The Republican gain
over 1900 is now estimated at per
cent. and the Democratic gain at "a
per cent.
Additional returns in the congress
sional districts have not altered the
result, all four Republican congress-
men being returned by pluralities
ranging from 5000 to 1000.

CHINA LOOKS AHEAD.
She Is Apprehensive of the Close OF
HostiIities.

Shanghai. Sept. 14.-It is not prob
able that the mission to the southern
provinces of China for the purpose of
raising money upon which Tie Hang,
a Pekin official. is now engaged. is in
any way connected with hostilities
toward foreigners in China or a re-
newal of the boxer troubles.
The urgent need of Pekin for money
for army reform and Improvements
is due, firstly, to her desire to possess
sufficient force to garrison and de-
fend Manchuria should Japan restore
this territory to her; and secondly, to
the desire to be prepared to resist
a possible proposal for the partition Of
China when the present war is over
China is apprehensive of the cessation
of hostilities.
There is no reason to apprehend any
general anti-foreign rising in China.

NO FUSION IN MONTANA
The Democrats Meet in State Conven
ton at Helena.

Helena, Mont, Sept. 1.-THE Dem
ocratic state convention met here to
nominate a state ticket and presiden-
tial electors.
The matter of fusion with the Popu-
lists and labor parties is attracting
much attention.
The only contest before the state
central committee is from Silver Bow
county. The so-called antitrust Heinz
Democrats who were elected from the
hall at Butte where the So-called
regular" Democrats held their con-
vention will undertake to secure seats
in the convention.
Governor Joseph K. Toole will be
renominated by acclamation. A plat
form endorsing the eight hour consti-
tutional amendment, the referendum,
direct primaries and probably a rail-
road commission will be adopted.
There is no probability of fusion.
The labor party and PoDulists do not
meet in state convention until Septem-
Der 90 and today there seemed no dis
position on the part of the Democrats
to take steps to bring about fusion.

ODELL AND PLATT.
Two Party Leaders Clash at Saratoga
Convention.

Saratoga, n. Y, Sept. 1.-THE ap-
parently tangled political situation here
yesterday had resolved itself by the
time the Republican state convention
actually met today. into a plain contest
between Governor Odell and Senator
Plat, which the former and his friends
until the last moment were trying to
keep from taking open form upon the
floor of the convention. There is no
antagonism between Governor Odell
and Mr.. Woodruff and none between
Mr.. Woodruff and Lieutenant Governor
Higgins. 1t was made plain today that
Mr.. Woodruff was not adverse to an
amicable settlement of the conflict be-
tween his own and the Higgins interests.
1t was the uncompromising attitude of
Senator Plat in behalf of Woodruff
and against Governor Odell and the
Higgins movement that prevented the
proposed conference yesterday after
noon and precluded the possibility of
Mr.. Woodruff's honorable withdrawal
from the contest, or compromise
which might have resulted in the Sc
lection of third man for the governor
ship nomination.
When the convention was called to
order, former Senator ]. Sloat Fassett
was chosen temporary chairman.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Fassett's
address a recess was taken until to-
morrow.

COULD NOT SCORE.
The Ball Game Was a Draw
Battle.

The contest was scheduled to be a
bob-tailed affair of seven innings, sc
as to give the crowd a chance to get
| their daily bread and get to the races.
Almost 500 OF the faithful were in the
grandstan1 and bleaShers, anc about

driven away by the cold. SHINY seats
in the bleachers were at premium.
The field Was in good condition.
! The game weS a pitchers battle.
Jonathan Edwards, the youthful and
cherubic boy pherom of the Hissou-i
guests occupied the center piece
against Denver Tom Hughes. The two
had it nip and tuck, with the Topeka
boy getting a shade the better of the
harangue. But eight hits were made
off him. while two more than that were
garnered from Edwards curvOlaS and
benderines. Considering the cold stor-
age condition of the ozone, both teams
did gilt-edge work. behind their Slaber-
mos. Sedalia made three errors and
Topeka four.
Sedalia led all the way. The Bugs
opened the first jackpot in a way that
foreboded i'll for Tom Hughes. Bauers
and Lee both whacked out singles, and
the first named, send him around the
bend. In the third Lee made the ini-
tial sack on a fielGer'S choice. He COM
mitted grand larceny on the second
sawdust bag and then waded knee
deep in clover to home plate, on OIL
sons failure to corral a fast rolling
grounder which went across his path.
In the last half of the third Tope-
ka got one. Billy White tried TO play
tag with McDilIs grounder, and Eddie
lived to see first. Then Hurlburt and
Cole whacked out several singles and
the noisy third baSeman found the
home-plate in his Christmas stocking.
Sedalia was BANKED in the first half
of the fifth, but the CeleStials gathered
in another and tied up the doings. Nc
Dill hit safely Jack Freil made bad
throw to first on Hughes grounder
and Mac went to third Hurlburt then
hit a long fly to deep right, and Nc
Dill went home on the throwin.
In the sixth both sides added to
their pantry stock. Davis base on
the trick for Topeka. And with that
the cat died SO far as run-getting was
concerned. The score-factory raked
the fire from its engines right there.
Then for five innings it was just case
of one side laying a goose-egg and
then the other occupying a place on
the nest. The Celestials made a ter
rifle bluff in the eighth to hatch out
something. Olson doubled, Brown beat
out a slow grounder and McDill walk
ed. But nothing was doing, a strike
out and a pop-up shutting the gates
About that time the stomachs of
the fans began clamoring for arbitra-
ton. The grandstand seemed like a
barn in January. The players had been
waiting to quit for some time, and
with encouragement from the crowd,
and went home to dinner.

THROW SHELL IN TOWN
Japanese Continue the Bombardment
of Port Arthur.

Chefoo Sept 15.-12:15 a. MA
Chinese who left Lao I'll promontory
on September 10, says that the general
assault on the stronghold, which in
some quarters was reported would Oc-
cur on the tenth. did not take place. He
declares that the uRssians are giving
most of their attention to the forts on
the northeast line, which include Rib
lungshan and Kikwanshan. The Rus
sian soldiers are living on black bread
and seldom get soup. There are only
few head of cattle in Port Arthur
and these are reserved for the highest
officials.
Hardly a day passes but what Lieu
tenant General Stoessel, commander of
the Port Arthur forces, generally ac-
companied by General BalaShoff, ride
over the entire line, having alterations
made here and giving suggestions there
and complimenting or censurfng his
troops. His interchangeable efforts and
mis- composure do much to sustain the
spirits of the garrison and this in spite
of their hard fare and the sleeplessness
which results from being constantly on
the qui vive.
This Chinaman says further that the
Japanese have constructed a large fort
on the north shore of Pigeon bay to
the west of Port Arthur, using many
Chinese laborers in the work. There
are sixteen large hospitals in Port
Arthur, and field hospitals have been
established at every fort. The prepa-
rationS for resistance at the northeast
forts consist chiefly in the construction
of trenches and redoubts for the out
posts. The Japanese bombardments
tentIy every day. On September the
Japanese threw shells into Port Arthur
one of which struck a church and
killed a Chinaman.

Awful Suffering Of Baby and

Writes Mother.

"1 herewith write out In full the be-

eczema, which caused my babe untold
suffering and myself many sleepless
nights.
My babe was born seemingly fair,
healthy child, but when she was three
weeks old a swelling appeared on the
back Of her head, and in course OF time
broke. 1t did not heal but grew worse,
and the sore spread from the size of q
dime to that of a dollar. 1 used all
kinds of remedies that I could think of,
but nothing seemed to help; in fact, it
grew worse. Her hair fell out where
the sore was, and feared it would never
grow again. 1t continued until my aged
father came on a visit, and when he
saw the baby he told me to get Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment right away.
To please him dad SO, and to nv
surprise by their use the sore began to
heal over, the hair grew over IL, and
