1.-THE NEBRASKA VOTE
sHALLENeERc ER, DEMOCRAT. IS
= AHEAD or DAHLMAN.
cANVAss|NG BOARDS BUSY
Weetover'e Friends Belive that He
Will Come Out Triumphant in
the Sixth District.

Omaha-Ashton C. Shallenberger is
slowly creeping ahead of Mayor Dahl
man in the face for the democratic
nomination for governor. The WORK
of canvassing boards as made known
Friday reveals in nearly every In
stance q slight gain for the Alma
man. which, if maintained. is certain
to land him in the leading position
on the ticket.
Returns from the various county
boards specify whether democratic or
populist, and it appears there is only
the remotest ground for contest IN
the claim of Dahlman that populist
and democratic votes are being added
together.
Friday was set apart by the ma
jority of the county clerks for the OF
fetal canvass, and in many places
the final figures for the entire ticket
will not be known for several days.
In Douglas county the canvass may
continue until the close of next week.
A compilation of the figures COM
plete in nine counties, including Doug
las county, shows the leaders to be
Barton for auditor, Bishop for state
superintendent, Cowels for land COM
missioner and Williams for railway
commissioner upon the republican
ticket.
Westover is being given a race for
first position in the Sixth COMPRESSION
al district by Johnson of Rushville.
The returns so far received are from
the extreme western section of the
district. When the east begins to
add its vote, Westover's friends be-
lieve he will win. Other COMPRESSION
al fights have been determined, prac-
tically, save in the First district on
the democratic ticket, where returns
are too incomplete to indicate whether
Mcclure or Fitzsimmons is ahead,
Gilbert, in the Fourth district, main
tains his lead over the field, as had
been predicted.

Industries PICKING Up.

Washington.-Notably increased act

in the United States are shown in the
July report of the bureau of statistics,
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor. There is considerably
heavier live stock movement reported
for the seven months ending with
July than for the corresponding period
of either of the two Immediately pre-
ceding years. Grain receipts for July
increased over the preceding month
and also over July OF last year. Every
thing looks encouraging.

Each Of the teams in the league has

have each won two of the games. The
Y. NJ. G. A. and the Males have each
suffered one defeat and played one

been defeated twice. At the bottom
of the list comes in the Punahou ag-
gregation without a single victory,
hut with two drawn games to its
credit.
The Punahous have been strength
ening their team wonderfully of late
and the showing which they have
made against the high percentage
relevens lends color to the belief that
they will have to be counted In at
the finish. II they should win tomor-

they will upset things to a consider

ing of the teams.
II is said that the Punahou bunch
is now considerably stronger than 1t

down the Males to a IL score then,
the outlook is most promising.
The Males and Y. NJ. c. A. have
