The woman sighed. Yes" she
replied, that's my name. 1t calls

While the man in the cage was
looking the check over the woman
fumbled her handbag and then placed
a S. bill before him.
Take it out of that, please" she
said. 1T seems to me I'll never get
through paying bills"
For moment the teller was puz-
zled. Then he realized that the wo-
man didn't understand the check.
You don't have to pay me- he
said. Il have to pay you 81"
He pushed back her S. bill and
gave her "a in silver. The woman
was very much surprised. You have

STORY OF HOW
LOOSE BLEW Up
Provo Man Stopped Betting OH
Plummer When He
Was Called.
TALE OF BET HE PASSED UP
MADE A BIG BLUFF AND NOW RE.
GRETS 1T.

To the tank for Ed Loose, the big fell
low from Provo.
1t happened this way.
Mr.. Loose, as his friends generally
know. is a big man with large ideas, es-
pecially about betting on elections. lie
came down to Salt Lake from Provo two
years ago and offered large amounts of
money at almost any odds that Lynch
would beat Morris. 1t was a case. TO
use the sporting parlance. of write your
own ticket
Last night the genial gentleman from
Provo became involved with a Tartar in
the person of David Evans. Mr.. Evans
is not noisy, but when he gets started it's
hard to stop him. He started a friendly
discussion with Mr.. Loose about the cleo
tion. During the course of the converSa-
ton the subject of wagering was dis
cUssed. Loose is a Plummer partisan, by
adoption. of course.
IN just lay you 5000 against $1,000
that Plummer is not elected said Mr..
Evans.
Done" cried Loose. and the wager was
accordingly recorded in the betting book
Of J. McTernay, dispenser Of beverages
Of various kinds.
Now I'll do better with YOU" said
Loose. III bet you 5000 against $1,000
no III bet you S5'O9e against Sle,O0; No
I'll bet you $4,000 against 5000 that Plum
mer is elected"
In addition to being quiet Mr. Evans is
a man of few words.
"Will you kindly wait here just a mo-
ment2" he asked.
Mr.. Loose certainly would wait one mo-
ment, or several. He had to wait only
one. When 1t was over Mr.. Evans had
returned. He brought something with
him. The something" consisted of GER
titled checks to the amount of $4,000.
You are on he said, being inclined to
brevity.
Loose looked the checks over for a fun
minute He turned and consulted with
Joe Eldredge. county clerk, who was with
him. Then he thought for a minute long
er, the determination fading out of his
countenance.
ITS me for the hay" or words to that
effect. he said. And the gentleman from
Provo went to his hotel. He didn't even
approximately want to bet $4,000 against
$4,000 that Plummer would be elected.
Mr. Evans smiled that quiet smile OF
his. He even permitted himself chuckle-
Then he too, faded into the darkness.
The monumental bluff of the campaign
had been called"

STEEL TRUST IS
NOT SUFFERING
Gets Possession of Tennessee
Coal, iron and Railroad
Company Owing to Panic.

New York, Nov. 4.-The United States
Steel corporation has secured a controll-
ing interest in the Tennessee Coal, Iron
& Railroad company. The deal was con-
cluded today and is traceable to the con-
ferences held at the home of j. P. Nor
gan Saturday and yesterday. 1t is I'M
derstood that the price paid is little
above SIS a share. The holdings of pool
controlling some 20 per cent of the stock
of the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad
company We're transferred in the sale.
This sale cannot fail to do much to re-
lieVe the present financial Stringency, as
large amounts of the stock of the Ten
are now held as collateral for loans by
the local banks. The taking up of these
loans by the new owners of the stock will
add materially to the cash resources of
the financial institutions.
Washington. Nov. president Roose-
welt conferred for nearly two hours today
with Secretary Root +. ii. Carey, chair
man of the United States Steel corpora
ton, and Henry c. Frick, also of that
corporation. The only statement obtain
able at the White House was to the eff
feet that the conference dealt solely with
the financial situation. 1t was said that
the president contemplated no direct
statement at this time.
New York. Nov. All records in the
price for rails hitherto sold for export
were broken last Saturday when the
United States Steel Products Export COM
pany, which takes care of the foreign
business of the United States Steel cor
poration. closed cable contract from the
administration of the Japanese govern
ment railroads. calling for the shipment
of l2OOO tons on a basis which will net
inst a shade below $50 a ton at the mills
This is nearly 81 ton in excess of the
existing price for rails intended for con-
Sumption in the United States. This un-
precedented figure is to be paid to assure
prompt delivery.

HARD FIGHT IN KENTUCKY.
Extraordinary Precautions Taken to
Prevent Fraud,

Louisville. KY, Nov. 4.-The night be-
fore election for full set of state Off
GERS in Kentucky and a complete ticket
of city and county officers for Louisville
and Jefferson county, finds everything Sc
rene after one of the hardest fought cam
paigns in the memory of political lead
ers. The interest throughout the state
is intense and if the weather bureau S
forecast of fair weather generally
throughout Kentucky proves correct, an
unusually heavy vote will be cast.
Extraordinary precautions have been ia
ken to prevent a recurrence in Louis
vile of the frauds and violence which in
validated the municipal election of 1895
and made necessary the calling of the
present election for city and county Off
GERS. Not only has Sheriff BulIitt sworn
in a large force of special deputies but
political leaders have hired detectives
from Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Chicago
and st. Louis to watch the polls for re
peaters'' from those cities.
Both sides are claiming victory by ma
jorities running up in the thousands, but
unprejudiced judges think the race for
governor and mayor of Louisville will
be closer than for many years past.

MAY POINT THE
RESULT IN 1908
Politicians Will Try to Forecast
Next Years Winner from
Elections Today.
INTEREST IN CITY FIGHTS
OUTCOME IN NEW YORK WILL
BE SIGNIFICANT.
INTEREST IN CITY FIGHTS

Washington, Nov. 4.-The elections
which will take place in thirteen states
tomorrow may develop some indication
of possible tendencies in the national
campaign next year. The fact that
contests affecting the national congress
are promised in but a few instances,
has a somewhat lettering influence,
but the more astute political forecast
ers expect to find some signs which will
be significant if not determinative.
Ten State Elections.
There are ten general state cleo
tons. The keenest interest is TAX
en- in the local contests in New
York City. Cleveland. San Fran
cisco and Salt Lake City. In New
York the struggle between Tammany
and the fusion ticket is regarded as Of
vast significance and most of the
wagers. few and small at best, turn
upon the outcome in that contest.
Next TO the New York battle in pop
ular interest comes the municipal con-
test in Cleveland. Both Mr. Burton
and Mr.. johnson are personally known
here, the former being a member and
the latter former member of the
house of representatives. and the in
terest is personal as well as political.
Salt Lake Attracts Attention.
Salt Lake receives attention, be-
cause of the prominence of the Nor
mon question, and San Francisco on
account of recent occurrences in con-
nection with the administration of the
affairs of that city.
In Massachusetts. Maryland. Missou-
RI Rhode Island, Kentucky and New
Jersey governors will be chosen, and
In all of them, except New Jersey, full
state tickets.
In Virginia, New York, Pennsylva-
MIA and Nebraska the elections will be
for inferior state officers or for mem
bers of the legislature or county Off
GERS.
In all cases the results will be care
fully scanned here for signs of changes
which may possibly bear On the more
important general conflict of 1905
