WHO WILL GET THE wArcHa
Nancy Frost Wins the $40 Prize
The Number of New Subscribers
Larger than Anticipated.

Realizing the intense interest and
rivalry already created in our competi-
tive voting contest, we decided on Sat-
urday last to call in the services of a
committee of award to canvass the
votes cast in the contest for the piano,
and also the incidental prizes. AS is
the custom generally, this committee
was selected from the local banks, and
consists of w. H. Tillson, E. j. Thomas
and E. P. Farnsworth. We consider
ourselves and the contestants fortu-
nate in securing so capable and impair
tial board of canvassers, and the Of
fetal count will assure all of square
deal.
Monday morning the board met for
the first time and canvassed the new
subscribers turned in to compete for
the $40 prize offered for the period
ending Saturday last.
Their report is as follows:
Cresco, April 26, 'O9.
The result of the count for votes in
the Plain Dealer contest for the $40
prize shows that Nancy Frost wins it
with "A new subscribers.
E. P. Farnsworth,
E. ]. Thomas,
w. H. Tillson.
Lucy Christ is second on the list,
Grace Patterson third and Amy Belts
fourth with eighteen. That this is
remarkable is shown by the fact that
in contest now running in Oelwein,
the winner of gold watch offered for
new subscribers turned i'll only IL new
subscribers. Gertrude Haubrick turned
in eleven and the other contestants
had results not quite SO good.
Nancy Frost's list of "A new sub.
scribers, all but three of whom gel
their mail from the Lime Springs post.
Office demonstrates that she is either
a champion hustler or that Lime
Springs is possessed of large amount
of town loyalty. In either case VIZ
may expect to see more big result.
from this contestant.
The total number of new subscribers
almost all of whom are residents O
this county or western Winnesheik, is
so far in excess of our expectations
that we have decided to give few
additional prizes in addition to the 81,
gold piece. To the one getting secont
place we will give So in cash, and t.
the others turning in ten or more w,
will give their choice of nice jewe
box and some beautiful pins, the girl
taking their pick in order with thei
standing in the contest. The girls en-
titled to these prizes will please cal
for them. Now, don't think we will
give extra prizes in the balance o
these contest periods-they may not b.
SO successful as the new subscribe
campaign just ended.
Now for the next struggle.

thai General Prudencio Alfaro is at the
head of 1000 Nicaraguans. This expe-
dition is said to be well armed and

rising in Central America. Following
is the situation as seen in salvador.
If Alfaro is beaten the troops of Sail

Alfaro succeeds a revolution in Guate-

NEGRO MAID NOT

LEVELS REVOLVER
East Orange Servant Dodges
Into Telephone Room and
Calls Police Instead.

A sneak thief entered the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey C. Olin, SO Chest
nut street, East Orange, yesterday, and
with a cap pulled over his eyes and a
revolver frightened the negro maid,
Sadie Stevens, almost out of her wits,
but she displayed considerable nerve
in the end. A watch dog lay peace
fully slumbering under the stoop while
all the excitement was in progress.
The girl had been seated in the laun-
dry in the basement reading a news
paper when she heard someone walking
around in the upper rooms. She ran
upstairs and was confronted by the
thief, who leveled a revolver at her
and ordered her to throw up her
hands. She obeyed for an instant and
then ran past the man and into a room
where the telephone was located and
locked the door.
In excited tones the maid called up
police headquarters and Reserveman
Gustave Vetter made a record trip to
the house on a bicycle. The girl was
SO excited she could hardly speak, still
believing the man was in the house.
vetter searched every room and the
reighborhood, but could not find any
one.

sink containing q large quantity Of

NEW OUTBREAK OF

~
CHERRY, ILL.,, Nov. 23.-Flre in the
second gallery of the ST. Paul mine

earth, blocking rescue work to the east.
in this section will be the best chance
of finding survivors. The passage is
so badly blocked that it will be i'm
possible for many days to make an en-
trance. Meanwhile, men now alive may
starve. The news spread gloom through
out the village, relieved only by i'm
proyement in prospects of exploring the
500 foot, or bottom shaft.
1t is said the blockade in the entry to
the east is neal the main shaft. AS
one caving is followed by another, en-
d%angerjpg the lives of the workers, at
taIrpss 70 remove the debris were halt
cd and an attempt will be made to
hew a new passage through solid earth,
around the fire and piles of earth.
According to Duncan Mcdonald,
president of the United Mine Workers
Of Illinois, this will take several days.
Does that not mean that practically
all hope of reaching imprisoned men,
in the east workings have been aban-
doner, or practically so?" was asked.
The union official looked very gloomy
and did not answer the question di-
rectly.
I'VE have hope of rescues in the 500
foot level" he said.
At midnight boy miners forced their
way into the third vein, preparing the
way for a rush of their comrades 10

They declared the air in the gallery

life. the water but a few inches deep
and all indications favorable to the

The youths, Robert McFadden and

emerged from the shaft when tidings
were spread that the fire in the second
vein had broken out anew.
