Portland, Me-, Sept. 1.-THE result
of the election in this state yesterday
when the republican plurality for gov
ernor, which usually approximates 25,-
600, was reduced to about 5000, while
at the same time the total vote was
greatly increased over the figures OF
four years ago, is attributed by the
leaders of both the republican and
democratic parties to popular feeling
over the operation of the prohibitory
liquor laws.

were so generally reduced as TO oc-

Release of Woman in Chicago Re-
called the Story.
Grand Forks, N D., Sept 1.-THE
release of Rosie Miller, alias Brenske,
from the Chicago house of corrections
a few days ago, recalls the robbery of
a Grand Forks woman in that city
something over year ago. The wo-
man just released from the house of
corrections was sentenced to one year
by Judge Barnes, on charge of rob
bing Mrs. j. E. Clifford, formerly Of
this city, now of Minnetonka, of dia-
monds valued at $4,000.
The story of the robbery never be-
came circulated in this city, although
a number of the intimate friends of
Mrs. Clifford were advised of it at the
time. 1t was stated last night that a
portion of the jewels were recovered,
but those represented but a very small
portion of the total loss.
Rosie Miller was arrested in Chi
cago Saturday, but a few days after
her release from the house of correc-
tions, and was fined $50 on a charge
of lettering around State street de-
partment stores. She is said to be a
shoplifter of ability and national rep
utation. The story of how she sue
ceeded in stealing the Clifford dia-
monds has never been told here.
