It is not often that perfection in

notable representative of a noble race

for it that is necessary in all suc-
cesses He enjoys his dancing and
playing almost as much as those who
hear and see him. and though 1t Is by
no means easy, he is on the program
at every concert given by this great
band.
The costumes worn by the Kilties
are true Scotch Highland plaids, and
their brilllancy is only equaled by
the playing of those who wear them.
Mr.. Fraser is a distinct acquisition to
this famous band, and his grace and
agility as well as his musical ability
are a contant source of admiration
to those who see and hear him.

MEBRASKANS CALLED ON
GOVERNOR JOHN JOHNSON
Told the Visitors That He Does Not
Expect to Be Candidate for the
Presidency.

St. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 14.-Gov.
John A. Johnson yesterday turned
down three complimentary invita-
tons from citizens of Nebraska,
extended to him by delegation
from Bryan's home state.
The first invitation was to attend
banquet at Lincoln, Sept. "a under
the auspices of the Nebraska state
Democratic committee. This was
declined because Gov. Johnson said
he had another engagement for that
date. The second invitation was to
participate in the coming Nebraska
state campaign. This was declined
because the governor had already
declined like invitations from Mas
sachusetts and Kentucky and felt
that he accordingly must decline in
Nebraska. The third invitation
was to attend function at Omaha
given by the wedish-AmeriCans.
The date is left open for the COVER
nor to fix to suit his convenience.
He stated that he must decline for

matter will now be taken up by
the court and the law taken off the
books.
The inspectors report that the
original work of counting was done
in very poor manner and there
were few precincts in which they
did not find many errors. They
also stated that many of the ballots
had been destroyed although this is
contrary to law.
1t is understood that the state will
fight any legal proceedings which
are started to have the law cancelled
and the matter will reach the SUI
preme court, as the contestors are
as determined as the state.
