PANAMA, July 13.-The presidential cleo
lions throughout the isthmus Of Panama
passed off today without disturbance.
Senior Don Jose Dobingo De Obaldia, for
merly minister to the United States ami
acting president during the absence Of DIT.
Amador, was elected president. The sup
porters of Ricardo Arias, who recently with
drew his candidacy, decided not to vote,
and as a consequence no opponent to Senior
Obaldia was placed in nomiEation. Not
withstanding this, a large number Of voters
registered their choice and demonstrated
the overwhelming majority of Senior Obald-
las supporters.
From all parts of the republic news has
been received here that the elections were
carried on in an orderly manner ard that
Senior Obaldia received all the votes cast
At the conclusion Of the ballot enthusiastic
crowds, headed by a band, paraded the
streets Of Panama, cheering for the newly
elected president. There appeared to be ar
absolute absence Of ill-feeling between the
former supporters OF Senior Arias and the
adherents Of Senior Obaldia. Never before
has such a friendly spirit been shown 81
quickly after an election.
COLON, July l2.-The election here passet
off quietly today. A heavy storm prevailed
and the only votes cast were by the sup
porters of senor Obaldia. They totalle'

with a few exceptions, abstained from vot

At first glance there might appear to be
some water" in this apparently large
capitalization, but figure the number OF
cars in the country, the cost Of equipping
them with the new device, the men and
money required to do this great work, and
then figure the earning power of the stock
this way: There are now from thirty-two
to thirty-eight advertising spaces In each
car, depending upon the length of the car,
but with the endless belt the number OF
spaces is just doubled, the old way the
spaces brought 80 cents a month, per car,
but the new way they will sell readily for
81 per car per month, and then when you
consider the number Of cars in the country
and that Kharas and his companies are
guaranteed a monopoly under his patent
for the next seventeen years-Oh, well,
what's the use? Just let the fortunate In
vestors in car sign stocks figure their own
profits.
The inventor has just returned to Omaha
from a four months trip east, where he
has visited several large cities, formed sew
eral strong companies who are putting the
new advertising device into actual opera
ton. and in some instances he has per-
sonally superintendent the installation work
himself.
He has. of course, met with all the usual
| ITldlS, troubles anu lllbhloAAbAo "hANA $500
to the lot Of the inventor. Quite early in
the game he met a number of moneyed
men who evinced an unusual willingness
to separate him from his invention, leav-
ing him nothing but the glory of having
dreamed It out. He demurred. smiled al
them his sad. sweet smile, and said tina
as he had invented the moving car sign
he would also invent a way of getting /
into use without the painful ordeal of Civ
ing it away to someone who did not appear
according to his lights, to need 1t, so HI
called his friends into council and began
his organization work. Some of them eau
toned him not to make any advance step
Until his patent was issued. But he knew
what he was doing, apparently, and knew
that the lessees of street car adverus.ni
concessions all over the United State
would soon learn that he had discovered
means by which he could outbld them 10
advertising privileges, and that they woul
try to secure longtime leases on conces

s,ons. and that he should get into the field
as quickly as possible. He knew, too, that
the Jungle animals would soon awake-the
monkey with his imitation to attract at
tention, the anvil bird with its hammer
chorus, the hooting owl and the prowl-
ing hyena, so he preferred active ag-
gressive work instead Of waiting; wanted
to fortify himself in his new position
and he has. Corporations of his organizing,
formed under his direction, control the
! street car advertising situation of the
western hemisphere. He does not in any
instance hold a controlling interest in any
of these companies, but he is a stock
holder and director in all Of them. No one
man can control any car sign company.
A majority of the stockholders direct the
business at all times. Loyal car sign people
lovingly call him father" for he is max
ing them shamefully rich, and it serve
them ight! Their loyalty to him has
made possible the great work he has under
taken and completed.
In PARKWAY New England Arthur Vernon,
formerly an Omaha newspaper man, but
at present president of the New York
Mobile Car Sign company, is putting the
Kharas endless belt street car advertising
system into use in that section. L. b
Kline of Council Bluffs, formerly for years
with the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, leased from the inventor the rights
on the Pacific coast, organized and incor'
porated under the direction of the inventor
the Pacific Coast Mobile Car Sign company
This company recently sent their Mr.. ID
H.. Kimberley to Fresno, Gala where they
have leased the advertising concession or
the street cars, and he will attend to the
installation of the device there and II
other western cities at once. So it goes on
Several other companies are now actually
at work putting the device into operation
east, west, north and south. All the ter
ritory in the western hemisphere has beer
leased by the inventor either on a stool
or royalty basis. and some foreign t%errltor!
has been optioned from him,

STORM NEAR NORFoLK
Tracks Are washed out and Railroad
Traffic stopped.

NORFOLK, Neb, July l5.-OSpecial Tele-
gram One Of the worst transforms which
ever visited this section occurred yester-
day. 1t started about noon and before it
stopped five and a half inches Of water
had fallen. There is a washout on the
mair line Of the Northwestern between here

east Of here and one on the Union Pacific
between here and Columbus
The Bonesteel train from the north and
the main lire train from the west reached
here, but have been unable to proceed on
account Of the washout and the westbound
main line Northwestern train is tied up
at Stanton. The afternoon train on the
Omaha did not go ouH and none arrived on
the Union Pacific. 1t will be morning al
least before the break in the tracks can
be repaired, and possibly not that soon.
