THE CAMPAIGN COST S22.5OO,OOO
Estimate of the Sums Spent by the National and State
Committees of Both Parties. A Golden Flown
New York Indiana Got Her Share.

! Conservative estimates of the total
| cost to both great parties OF the politi-
cal campaign this year place the
amount at twenty-five million, five
hundred thousand dollars. Of this
sum the republican national committee
spent about three million dollars, and
the democratic national committee
approximately two million dollars.
| The various state committees spent
the difference between the total OF
these sums and the grand total. The
record of the campaign finance shows
that the combined state committees
usually spend four dollars for every
dollar expended by the national COM
mittee. This year, because of the stiff
fights waged in several states, the
| proportion was increased to about four
and a half to every one.
To the grand total might be added u
large sum spent by candidates who
paid their own expenses during costly
tours of the state and country.
Much of the democratic committees
money was used in establishing organ
izations to meet republican aggressive
ness in Indiana and states in the far
: west. TO Indiana alone the democratic
national committee sent upward Of
three hundred thousand dollars. The
state committee added a generous sum
to this amount, all of which Mr.. Tag
CART used to get out his vote.
The republican national committee
sent hundreds of thousands of dollars
into the upstate counties of New
York, and Governor OdelI spent IN the
neigh borhood of $250,O00 perfecting
his organization IN New YORK city ana
ARRANGING his card index of voters.
Into West Virginia money was poured
from both national headquarters, and
from the state headquarters as we'll.
A golden stream flowed into Connect
cut. New Jersey, Wisconsin, Rhode
Island and the mountain states from
both republican and democratic
sources. Accurate details OF the ex
peuditures cannot of course be obtain
ed. but neither party denies that it
has expended hundreds OF thousands
of dollars in the doubtful states.
In New Jersey and Connecticut the
managers of the democratic campaign

FROGS STALL BIO TRAIN.
Life Blood of Myriads of Jump

According to veracious officials o.
the Omaha railroad, it required 2SI

under the drivers of two locomotives

from Spokane, Wash.
Where the frogs came from was a
mystery, but the officials say that the
first effort to get the train through
Saturday night was failure because
the rails were so slippery. The big
drivers would simply whirl aroun d

THE tMISSING LINK"
An Interesting Ape Is Found in
Forests of Java.

Prof. Van Sickle, who for some
months has been making geological
charts of the northern part of Java,
cables the Academy OF Science in Am
sterdam that be feels certain that he
has discovered the long looked-for
missing link. He does not claim the
honor of the discovery himself, but
says that some weeks ago he was In
formed by a Dutch merchant, Ven
Beuren, that he had discovered q
new species OF monkeys in dense
forest in which he had lost his way.
The professor started out to look in
to the discovery of the merchant, and
while watching for the animals to APP
pear he heard a peculiar, half human
voice. Looking up, he saw an enor-
nous nest and two ape.like animals
looking down upon him.
The natives of that part of the
island have long known ofthe presence
of these apes, which they call "Ash
Petrizi." Unlike any other apes, they
battle frequently and the females wear
strange necklaces OF bwigs' and red
berries, and nurse their young, singing
half-articulated words. They have, in
fact. a language, but it consists of very
few words.

discovered an almost utter lack of or.
ganization, and enormous sums were
sent into these places to build up a
machine.
In addition to the expenses of organ
ization, of getting out the vote and
supplying state headquarters with
funds to meet expenses, the national
committees are called upon to meet
very large printing bills and are COM
PEELED to pay force of men large sal
aries. They also have to keep an army
of spellbinders at work.
1t has been estimated that the two
national committees this year dis
bursed 100000 to campaign orators
for salaries and expenses. The print
ing bills footed up more than 800, 900.
The bare cost of maintaining head
quarters was from $4,000 to $1,000 a
week, exclusive of salaries paid To
heads OF departments and their assist
ants.
Costly though it has been, the cam
paigns of 1904 did not break the record.
The expenditures in 1900 were about
equal in amount to those of this year,
and in 1896 the fund of the republican
national committee, of which Senator
Hanna was chairman, was approx
mately 100000, or more than the
sum used this year by both national
committees.

"KING OF DRUNKARDs."
He Has Just Died at the Age of
Sixty-One Years.

The liking of drunkards" has just
died at ST. Ouen in his sixty -frst year,
says Paris cablegram. He was elect.
ed to that proud position a few months
ago at conclave of fellow-tipplers A
ragpicker by trade, he made a snug
little income, so per cent. of which he
spent on drink. He despised Injuries,
and looked upon a glass and we'll
filed bottle as the only necessaries of
life. At pinch he could easily do
without glass. He lived in hut, in
which fittings and furniture were re-
duced TO a minimum, the latter con-
sisting OF a straw mattress and three
legged chair.
All expenditure on anything but
drink was in his opinion wantom ex-
travagance. He gloried in his capacity
for tipping, aud boosted that he could
rot remember having once gone TO
bed sober since he was grown up. His
lowest daily average consumption of
spirits was fifty glasses, and he ate
very little food to that monstrous deal
Of strong drink. He apparently thrived
on this diet, and hardly ever knew
what Illness was, enjoying good health
TO the last and expiring in q drunken
sleep.

siberia,s Repairs.

SAN FRANCISCO. September Is
The big liner Siberia, IN dry dock IN
going repairs to her stern frame,
has suffered another delay. To repair
the frame and overcome the defect that
existed in the vessefever since she was
turned out at Newport News, il was
necessary for the Union Iron Works
mechanics 10 make two steel castings,
one for either side Of the stern frame,
and each weighing two and one-half
tons. One Of these castings broke, and
another had to be made. The siberia g
date of departure is therefore further
removed. She is still in dry dock at
Hunters Point.
