One of the papers read in the re-

pointed out as one fruitful cause of
the spread Of the disease, the poor

This may account for the small at

that they stay away for the good of

MAINE ELECTION
 N0T DECIDED Democratic Nominee For Governor Says the Returns Will Be
 Investigated :. MISTAKES ALREADY FOUND Three Democrats Returned Where Republicans Claimed to Be
 the Victors.

Portland, Me. Sept 13.-"This election will be thoroughly investi- gated and it is likely the investiga- tion will be conveyed to the ballot if need be-" This statement was made to-day by Cyrus W. Davis, the demo- cratic candidate for governor of Maine at the election on Monday. He was beaten by only about eight thousand votes. The statement was made when Mir Davis was asked about an item published by paper of which he is one of the principal owners. The item said the Maine election is still in doubt. AS sample of what is being done 1t may be mentioned that the investigation of returns already shows the election of three democratic representatives in places where republicans claim to be winners. Information is at hand which indicates that these three will be many times multiplied. Fraud is alleged to have taken place in many places which may still defeat Little wood when the investigation is over. The democrats headed by their standard bearer, Mir Davis, intend to fight to the last ditch for clean re- port of the election.

CLIMBERS WERE STUNNED Four Alpine Climbers Were Swept Down By an Ava
 Ianche ROPE SAVED MEMS LIVES

New York, Sept 13.-A cable des- patch to morning paper from St Michael de Maurienne, France, says:
 Four Alpine climbers, while re- turning from the ascent of the Aig- uliles d'Arves on Sunday evening were swept by an avalanche of stones upon glacier fifty feet below. All were stunned.
 The first to recover his senses was a man named Maize, who found two of his companions lying seriously in jured on the edge of crevasse of unknown depth in which the fourth climber, man of the name of Questo, was dangling by rope with which the party had been linked to- gether. The accidental wedging of this rope in a cleft alone saved all the men from falling into the abyss of the crevasse.
 Questo. who was suffering agony shouted: My arms and legs are broken. I am suffering horribly. Cut the rope and let me die"'
 Maize vainly tried to haul him up, and find the others helpless, he fur ther secured the rope and started to obtain aid. It was nine hours before he returned with helpers.
 The rope had not broken and Ques- to was found still swinging from 1t, but he was unconscious and soon died after being rescued. He was known in Italy as writer on Alpine sub jects. The others are recovering.

The police also have an employe of a private hospital con- ducted by the doctor, who they are holding as a witness and another woman is under surveillance.

 No murder was committed at my house."

 His Teachers Spirited Away.

 How are things going out in the country, Mark?" was asked.
 "Oh, pretty good, was the reply. but I am here to-day to find what they are trying to do with my school. I understand that Miss May Ker- shaw was brought into the city schools this morning; that's all right, but I may just as well be boss while I am there" The writer told Mark that in all probability a substitute had just been sent out for the time being but Mark could not see 1t in that light. being under the impression that someone was en- deayoring to tamper with his work.
 Mark said there was not much do- ing in politics but thought there would be fight for his place when lis present term expires, as he as- serts he will then retire.
