IS
VERY brisk
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN in THE
PRIMARIES.-HEAvY VOTE Is
POLLED.

At eleven o'clock today the polls
opened for the first direct primary
election ever held in the state of
Washington. 1t is the virtual try-out
Of the new law. At $3.50 there had
been cast in the Wenatchee Precinct
PIG votes, of which ITO were repub-
lican and As were democratic. In
Columbia precinct at the same hour
there were 140 votes cast, of which
10 were republican and 80 demo-
cratic.
The leading feature of the eection
is the contest for the judgeship.
Many are working on both sides, and
evidences are that the contest will be
close.
From indications, Governor Mead
is going to pile up fine big majority
in Wenatchee.
1t is also evident that Poindexter
will lead for congress by strong
vote.
In the county offices there are but
few that feel that they have a
'cinch." In fact, the whole matter is
largely matter of conjecture.
For the Office of county treasurer
Martin Spencer and Arthur Bousquet
are making close race, if one may
judge from the way the winds seem
to blow.

why the children cannot start, consult

ELECTION BETS.

There is probably more betting on
the outcome of the present election
than of any previous one in the his
tory of Wenatchee.
Many even bets are being made on
the judgeship. Some of them are for
$50 and 500.
Even bets are also being made on
the race between Mead, Cosgrove and
Mcbride.
One man bet $3.50 to S. that
Hutchinson would receive the highest
vote for sheriff This was quickly
covered.
Several bets were made on Olive,
one claiming that he would win
against the field.
One man offered to bet SO to IS
on the election of PoindeXter for con-
gress. Another man has $25 to say
that FIELD will not get 400 first choice
votes in the county.

CRAz|EST AUTO
RACE KNOWN

Cincinnati, O., Sept. 5.-One week
from tomorrow is the date fixed for
the widest, craziest, most desperate
automobile race ever seen. The
scene of the contest probably will
be the Latonia racetrack, though this
has not been decided definitely. The
drivers will be Barney Oldfield, the
well-known track racer, and John J.
Ryan, a noted turf man.
The contest will be absolutely
unique in the history of automobile
racing. No rules whatever will gov
ern the conduct of the drivers after
the starter sends them away. The
man who finishes first will win the
race. No cognizance will be taken
of fouls, accidents or anything else
which may happen on the track. Ii
Oldfield wants to cut across in front
of Ryan he may do so, risking his
life and that of his opponent. Ryan
has equal privileges. The contest, in
fact, will only be a question of which
of the two men has the most nerve,
also the most luck.
The match is the result of an argu-
ment in which the two racers became
involved some time ago. The race
will consist of three-mile heats, the
winner OF two taking the race and
side bet of $4,000. The cars to be
used are exact duplicates.

When Sir Humphry Davy was boy
about sixteen, little girl came to him
in great excitement:
"Humphry, do tell me my these two
pieces Of cane make a tiny spark OF
light when l rub them together?"
Humphry was a studious boy. who
spent hours in thinking out scientific
problems. He patted the child's curly
head and said:
81 do not know, dear. Let US see II
they really do make a light and then
we will try to find out why"
Humphrey soon found that the little
girl was right. The pieces Of cane If
rubbed together quickly did give a
tiny light. Then he set to work to End
out the reason, and after some time.
thanks to the observing powers Of his
little friend and his own kindness to
her in not impatiently telling her not
to worry" as so many might have
done, Humphry Davy made the flrst
of his interesting discoveries. Every
reed, cane and grass has an outer skin
Of hinty stuff, which protects the In
side from insects and also helps the
frail looking leaves to stand upright.

The Midnat snakaa.

81 see by your paper" says a CORE
spondent, that you want to hnd man
who can tell a snake story with the
sound Of originality to it. Here 1t is:
Nearly forty years ago In the woods Of
Indiana captured three snakes, each
less than three and one-fourth inches
In length, a combined length of less
than ten inches, little longer and a
little larger In the middle than an old
fashioned wool darning needle. Al
though these snakes were so small they
would crawl around with their heads
up and dart out their tongues like
larger snakes, put these reptiles in
an eight ounce bottle, and they had
plenty of room to crawl around on the
bottom Of it without crowding. These
were not the kind Of snakes generally
seen in bottles, but genuine snakes.
Among those who saw them was q
minister of the gospel, and he had not
been taking anything to make him see
snakes either."-Emporia Gazette.

Table Manners in old France.

Could we restore for half an hour the
dinner table Of old France and obtain
half a dozen instantaneous photo
graphs Of royal banquet at any era
between the reigns of Francis and
Louis Quatorze such a cataract Of
laughter would be heard as might
disturb the serenity of Louis in para
disc. The duchess, her napkin tied Sc
curely round her neck, would be seen
mumbling a bone. the noble marquis
surreptitiously scratching himself. the
belle marquise, Withdrawing her spoon
from her lips to help a neighbor to
sauce with it, another fair creature
securing her plate with her bread, a
gallant courtier using his doublet or
the tablecloth as a towel for his fin
gers and two footmen holding yard
of damask under a lady's chin while
she emptied her goblet at a draft. Dur
ing a feast Of inordinate length 1t was
sometimes necessary to substitute
clean cloth for the one which the care
lessness or bad manners of the guests
had reduced to a deplorable condition.
