STATE ELECTION IN VERMONT
Republicans Garry State, but Vote
Shows Falling Off OF About
Eight Per Cent.

White River Junction, VT, Sept 2.
The Republicans won the election
in Vermont yesterday by carrying
the state for Lieut.. Gov. George FL.
Prouty of Newport for governor by
about $4,000 votes over James E.
Burke of Burlington, his Democratic
opponent. The plurality was the
smallest on a presidential year since
1892, when it was only 1886, and was
followed by Democratic national
victory, but it was larger than in 1888
and only slightly less than in 1900.
There was a falling off in four years
OF about per cent in the Republican
vote, while the Democratic vote fell
off about per cent.
The independence league appeared
for the first time and polled about
1000 votes, while the Prohibition and
Socialist vote remained about the
same. An unusually large number of

DESPERATE STRUGGLE ENSUtS
Frightened Girls Cali for Help Is AM
swered by Elevator Man WhO
Saves Her Life.

Chicago, Sept. l. - A frantic sSFug-
gle, with the life of a young gsrl at
stake, took place at the top OF the
Auditorium tower Saturday afternoon
when ]. e. Shilling, fifty-two years
old, attempted to throw his twenty
one-year-old daughter from the top of
the lofty structure. Excited men, ap-
palled at the attempt, fought desper-
ately with the crazed man and finally
won the battle for the girls fife,
Shilling had recently been released
from the Kankakee insane asylum,
and his condition since he left khe in
stitution was such that his relatives
intended to return him to the place
in a few days.
Maniac Seizes Girl.
Saturday morning he pleaded with
relatives to be allowed to go to Chi
cago. They consented, and with his
daughter he left the suburb where he
resides with her.
They walked about down tswR for
some time and finally found shem-
selves near the Auditorium.
LET us go up and see Chicago"
said Shilling. Il want to see the big
city again, for l may not have an
other chance"
The girl consented and they took
the elevator, which shoots UP to the
lofty observatory. Together they
walked around for time. Then the
father and the girl stood still, their
eyes fixed on the lake. Suddenly he
seized the daughter about the waist
and raised her above his head to hurl
her over the balustrade Surrounding
the platform on which they were
standing. She grasped the railing
and screamed for help.
Cry Is Answered.
Her cry was Immediately answered
by John Richardson, an elevator start
or employed in the observatory. The
insane man gave yell of rage and
sprang at Richardson, who did not
give up his grasp of the girl.
Richardson was obliged to fight like
a demon. The crazed mans fingers
sought his throat, and the startled
man almost choked before assistance
came. Detectives who had been s1m
moned overpoWered the E1saatic,
placed him in a patrol wagon and
took him to the police station.

CROOkSTON HIT

Heavy Damage to Business
Houses and Residences;
Crops Also Suffer.
BAD STORM IN NORTH DAKOTA
Wind, Hail and Lightning Destroy
Crops, Buildings and Live
St0ck-LOss Heavy.

Crookston, Mimi, Sept. 2 - Inc
most terrific rain storm that ever Wis
tied the Red river valley, amounting
to a four-hour cloudburst, prevailed
Sunday afternoon, the total rainfall
amounting to 7-100 inches, flooding
every basement in the business dis
trict and over two hundred residences,
and resulting in damage to stock and
easements estimated all the way from
$4,000 to $4,000, though accurate fig-
ures cannot be secured till the dry
goods merchants and the clothlers
and some of the grocers have check
ed over their basement stocks.
During Sundays storm the water
ranged from six inches to five feet
deep in the Easements.
Almost Creates Panic.
1t was only the second experience OF
the kind in the history of the city and
created almost a panic. Clerks and
every one who could be pressed into
service were rushed to the easements,
but the flood came SO suddenly that
the damage was done before the
goods could be saved.
But the damage done in the city is
but a side issue compared with the
damage done to the unthreshed grain.
The shocks are soaked to the center
and the storm area is very extensive.
1t started raining at st. Vincent at 4
o'clock Sunday morning and poured
all day long, covering Kittson, Mar
shall. Polk and Norman counties, part
Of Red Lake, Roseau and Mahnomen,
anG all threshing is out Of the ques-
tio1. until next Thursday or Friday in
that area.
Bio Loss in North Dakota.
Jamestown, N. d., Sept 2.-Terrific
lightning and hail storms have done
immense damage in the northern por-
ton OF the county. Several farm build
irgs have been destroyed. 1t is not
known to what extent the hail dam
AGED the crops, but it is thought the
loss will be considerable. Near Ed
munds a barn was struck by lightning
and thirteen head of stock burned to
death. Cattle in an open field near
Buchanan were also nit and instantly
killed.
The elevator of the Lyon Elevator
company at Alfred was struck by
lightning and burned to the ground.
Considerable grain was stored in the
elevator and it is believed that the
loss will be heavy. The heavy rain
will delay threshing operations for
several days.
Many Buildings Damaged.
Lakota, N. D., Sept. 2. - The most
severe electric storm in over year
visited Lakota and vicinity early Sun
day. Rain fell in torrents for several
hours, completely saturating the
ground. A high wind also prevailed,
and several barns and Gutbuildings
were unroofed and overturned, but no
report has been received of any per-
son being injured.
Lightning struck in several places.
The storm will delay threshing opera
tons for several days.

affinity fame, was arrested at his home
near Monroe, N Y, charged with as

birth of their child.
Safeblowers cracked the safe in the
postOffice at Waukegan, ILL.,, and got
away with all the money and stamps
and everything of value in the Office.
1t is believed the haul will net the
robbers between $1,000 and $4,000.
With one of his own razors w. C.
Conlee, barber, committed suicide
in ST. Louis by cutting his throat.
Conlee had been Respondent for some

From out the busy throng of traffic
on the Fades bridge in st. Louis an
unidentified man, we'll dressed, sud-
denly vaulted into the Mississippi
river, ninety feet below. Horror
stricken spectators saw him come to
the surface, struggle few minutes in
the current and then sink.
The grand jury adjourned at Eddy

any indictments against night riders
in that section, and as a result some
100 warrants based on information
and BELIEF and sworn out against
men, charging them with having com.
