MISSOURI NEARLY COMPLETE.
Only TWO Counties Missing on Vote
for Governor.

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 11.-With all eX-
cept two of the ia counties heard
from all doubt of the election Of Will
liam S. Cowherd as the Democratic
nominee for governor is removed. The
exact plurality of the Kansas City
man over David A. Ball, his most dan
gerous competitor cannot be given ac
curately. The 112 counties heard
from and the city of ST. Louis give
Cowherd approximately a plurality OF
14,2S1.
The official returns may increase or
decrease the figures slightly, but Ger
tainly not enough to change the re-
suit Corrected figures from st. Louis
county show that Mr.. Ball, and not
Mr.. Cowherd, was successful there.
The vote in the county was Ball 644,
Cowherd $40, Wallace 1886, Stapel 256,
fancy county was also carried by Mr..
Ball by a plurality of 81. He carried
Ripley by plurality of 124, Dent by
S6j, Sullivan by 227, Reynolds by
270, Scott "a and Oregon by 9G.
In all of these counties Cowherd was
the runner up.
1t now seems from the returns so
far received that Ball carried 66 of
the ia counties of the state, Cowherd
80 and the city of st. Louis, Wallace
five and Stapel one. Shannon and
Texas counties are the only ones from
which returns on the govcrnorshir
have not been received.

Art Collector and Irritated Waiter
Had the Same Feelings.

A Chicago art dealer was talking
about the wrath of William r. Evans.
the New York collector upon whom
so many bogus paintings have been
imposed
He's awfully angry" said the art
dealer, depressing smile. Some of
his costliest pictures, you know, have
turned out fakes. His blood boils
when he thinks of the way he has
been duped.
He told me the other day that he
could hardly understand the rage that
possessed him against every petty lit
tie insignificant dealer that had cheat
ed him. He said it was like the rage
Of waiter that he had noted one
afternoon at luncheon.
AT luncheon, Mr.. Evans said, he
called his walters attention to a dead
fly in some dish or other.
"The waiter, as he took the dish
away, muttered with malevolent
look at the limp insect:
"Td give two-dollar bill If knew
Tor certain that this was the fly that's
been buzzing about my nose all the

he had slept or not. He was talking
to himself and his first conscious
words were: THAT cursed messen

The plague was at Miguel and he
was cursing the man who bore the
message of the padre. The man must
have been infected himself. The thing
was all clear to Bradley. 1t had not

fectly wide-awake, sane, and in pos
session of his senses. He knew posi-
lively, the plague was at Miguel, and
he arose and dressed hurriedly, for
the message of the night was thump-
ing in his head and Meta was among
the stricken. 1t all came to him in
the little dobe room as plainly as If
it had been spoken, and he was not
surprised in the least.
Bradley was confirmed scoffer at
matters spiritualistic His profession
al education had made this certain,
He was eminently practical, but there
was no denying thing such as this.
The plague was at Miguel and Meta
was stricken.
But, senior, how do you know this?'
gasped the padre. There is no mes
senger and We have no dispatch wire
strung thus far
Never mind, father" said Bradley;
get me horse and get it for me

But, senior, you cannot go so, alone,
with only one horse The way around
the mountain is long and hard
Get me horse; I'm in a hurry"
The little padre hustled around pa

man in hurry.
Bradley took a bottle of water,
piece of dried meat, his little bag,
and mounted.
BE good, padre" he called out,
sharply.
The evening Of the second day a
man, gray and drawn, came stagger-

people clustered around, discussing
with many motions and in excited

BOMB THROWER
CAUGHT BY LETTER
FRISCO MAN WAS CAPTURED BY
CHICAGO POLICE.
His Brother Confessed to Blowing Up

Tracked by Detective.

Chicago. Aug. 1l.-Peter Claudianes
who had been sought by the author
titles of San Francisco because OF
his alleged completely in several bomb
throwing outrages, was arrested here
yesterday by the local police, at the
instigation of detective from Dis
trict Attorney Langdon's office.
The capture was effected by means
of a decoy letter sent by San Fran
cisco police and received by Claud-
lanes moment before his arrest in
the postoffice The prisoners broth
er, John, is said to have confessed in
San Francisco, and to have confessed
TO placing a bomb in the residence
Of former Supervisor Gallagher in
Oakland, Cal. Seven persons were
injured by the resulting explosion, the
outrage being one of series which
is said to have had its inception in

Dodged Many Traps.
Peter Claudianes left San Francisco
about July Z, according to the local
police authorities. He went to sev.
eral Nevada cities with woman COM
panion, and then came east. The pair
was traced by Detective Burns to the
vicinity of Chicago, and the latter
hurried here and enlisted the aid OF
the Chicago detective bureau and OF
the United States secret service here.
Several traps were laid for Claudi-
anes, but he eluded all of them eA-
cept the decoy letter.
The local police believe that the
prisoner will support his brothers
confession when he is returned TO
San Francisco. No formal question
ing of the prisoner has been under
taken, the part of the local police
being merely to hold Claudianes until
requisition papers arrive from Cali

BrawIey Property Owners Organize to Secure Water For Domestic Pur- poses From Water Company

 A temporary organization has been affected by the election of H. l.. Fulton r. VI. Stafford, c. T. Welcome, John Cady and J. D. Bennett as a general committee to take charge of the mat ter and place the details of the pro ject before the citizens of that place.

EXCURSION ID HEADING
An Attractive Trip to be Arranged for Valleyites By the CaIexico Ath-
 letic Association.

H. T. Cory general manager for the California Development Company, has been in Los Angeles during the present week, making arrangements for an excursion to be run by the CaleMco Athletic Association, early in December.
 It is proposed to give Imperial Val. ley residents an opportunity to make the trip to the Upper Heading Of the canal system and to view the Ie- vee and head gates of the California Development Company.
 The number of eXcursionists is O be limited to 800. It is proposed to take them in coaches to Hanlon Junction, and then to transfer the party to fiat cars, fitted with seats, when they will make the trip across the top of the big cement head gate. which controls the water supply of the valley, and thence down the great levee wwhich shut off the waters when they were flowing into the val ley two years ago.
 It is probable that a barbecue or basket lunch will be gvien at the end of the run.
