. Clear Lake, S. D., June 3.-The bal
loon Chicago, which assembled at Quin-

southwest of here, making a sensa-
tional flight and smashing a number
of records. :. III s>.
Charles q. Cosy of Chicago, Captain
G. d. Bum augh of st. Louis and
Charles Leichliter of Chicago and a
small dog made the long and thrilling
aerial trip. The men enjoyed the
dangers and the pleasures of the ex-
perience and the little dog seemed to
take both with nonchalance.
Computing on an air line basis, the
aeronauts say the Chicago covered 800
miles in exactly eleven hours, or an
average of seventy-five miles an hour.
The aeronauts say that the actual dis
lance was more than 800 miles and
that they probably maintained a flight
OF nearly eighty miles an hour.

: Thousand Majority.

Des Moines, Ia, June 3.-Returns
from over 300 precincts indicate that
Senator Allison has defeated Governor
Cummins in the fight for the Republi-
can senatorial nomination. These
primaries indicate that the result will
be close, but that the majority will be
with Allison. The Allison men are
claiming at least 10000 majority The
Cummins men do not concede this,
but make counter claims of about
10000 majority. The result is so close
and the returns so incomplete that it
may take an official count to determine
the result. 49,
The victory of Allison may carry
with it victory also for Carroll for
governor over Garst, although the re-
turns on the Republican gubernatorial
nomination are altogether incomplete.

Portland, Ore, June Ex-Governor
George E. Chamberlain, Dem, is the
choice of the people of Oregon for the
United States senatorship to succeed
Charles w. Fulton, Rep, and a Repub-
lican legislature has been chosen to
elect him. Chamberlain's majority
over his opponent, Henry M. Cake,
Rep, will exceed 1000, it is believed.
Chamberlain's victory is in the ma
ture of personal triumph. Oregon
normally is Republican, and in 1904
Roosevelt's plurality was 42,434. Gov
ernor Chamberlain has twice been
elected governor Of the state
The selection of Chamberlain by
the people is but a preliminary step to
the senatorship. In Oregon candidates
for the legislature align themselves
either in the Statement No. l" col

the candidate having the endorsement
OF the p&1 ple, and the ants prefer to
