more cruising in his famous yacht.
the Sunbeam. possesses at his house
in Park lane curio in the shape of
a child's toy schooner. which he pick
ed up while cruising on the Sunbeam
in the Southern Indian ocean, miles
and miles away from the beaten track
of passenger steamers. No other craft
OF any kind was at the time in sight
and how the toy ever reached those
latitudes is a mystery of the ocean.
After his return home Lord Bras

been made by some English toy mer-
chant took the trouble to advertise in
newspapers in various parts of the
world hoping to discover the owner
and so solve the mystery but all in
vain-so far, no clue as to where 1t
came from has ever been obtained.

Saratoga, Sept. 2S.-The plat
form adopted by the convention
today staggered the Roosevelt
adherents. The expectation was
that the platform would be of
the extreme insurgent type so
that the Taft and tariff en-
dorsements plainly disgusted the
radicals. 1t is rumored that
Taft and Roosevelt have reach
ed an understanding that here
after the progressives and not
the regulars will be the big fac
tors in affairs of the national
government. 1t is asserted
} Roosevelt and Taft will accept
insurgents of the Cummins-
} Dolliver-Bristow type but don't
} care to meet LaFollette's positi-
} on. The colonel refused to COM
} ment on this rumor.

L2te out sui incomplete returns
from over the state do not make any
change in the results of the state tick
ct as already announced. Lafferty is
still far in the lead of Ellis for the
republican nomination for congress
for the second district. Hawley has
beaten Mulkey in the first district
Bowerman is approximately 5000 votes
to the good in the race for governor.
DR.. Harry Lane is leading John
Manning for the democratic nomina-
ton for congress for the second dis
trict, though the reports are as yet
very meager.
West Is Safe.
Oswald West seems to have a safe
majority for the democratic nomina-
ton for governor, he having, so far
as reported, been given 1896 votes to
1912 for Myers.
There is no doubt about the nomi-
nation of Kay for state treasurer nor
OF Benson for secretary of state.
Judges Bean and Mcbride have won
the four year term nominations for
supreme judge. while Judges Burnett
and Moore were given big votes for
the six year terms.
Hart has been badly beaten by
Crawford for attorney general, while
Duniway for state printer showed
Clarke, his assembly opponent, under
an avalanche of votes.
The Total Vote.
Following is the total vote reported
for each candidate on the state ticket
in those cases where there was oppo-
sition between two. or more candidates.
The reports are meager, though from
a majority of the counties. Complete
returns have been compiled from a
few of the counties, unofficial returns
from several others and scattered re-
turns from a number Of the remaining
counties. While the report is meager
|! t. is still sufficiently large to show
the nominations in all cases, unless il
be between John Manning and DR..
Lane for the democratic nomination
for congress from the second district
and o. P. Hoff and George NJ. Orton

In the fair pavilion this evening an
illustrated lecture will be given by
George H. Hines, secretary OF the
Oregon historical society. A curtain
will be hung directly in front Of the
band stand and with the pavilion
darkened the pictures will be shown
thereon. Mr.. Hines has a decidedly

A Pioneer OF '53.
1t was in 1853 that George H.
Hines first passed through this re-
gion and he was then one of a party
of 1876 coming overland from Illinois
and other middle western states. When
the Hines party set forth from Illi-
nois they were accompanied by but
one other family. But as the journey
progressed others joined and before
the end of the trip there were 156
people in the caravan. According to
Mr.. Hines. undying friendships were
formed during those days and the ties
have never been broken. Between the
adults Of the party the greatest de-
gree Of friendship continued to exist
until death finally claimed all the
older members Of the party. Between
the younger people Of the party the
friendships formed upon the plains
have also been continued.

Within the fair pavilion this after
noon the judging Of exhibits has been

tinued as rapidly as possible until all

President Nonon R.
R. Shot by Burglar

CHICAGO, July 2OI. G. Rawn
of the best known railway men in the
country. was shot and instantly killed
by a BURGLAR at his home in Win
netka, ILL.,, suburb of Chicago, early
today. The assassin escaped. A re
volver with one empty cartridge was
found near the mans body. No trace
of the second bullet could be found
and the police believe Mr.. Rawn
wounded his assassin. Two shots
were heard but it was impossible to
determine whether Mr.. Rawn or the
murderer fired first. The belief that
the murderer was wounded by Mr..
Rawn was strengthened when the po-
lice found a trail of blood about 100
feet along stone walk east of the
Rawn residence.
Hearing a noise, Mrs. Rawn awaken.
ed her husband and told him some
one was in the house. Rawn, although
implored by his wife not to go down
stairs, slipped on his bath robe and
investigated. A moment after he had
reached the foot of the stairs two
shots were heard. Ralph c. Coburn,
son in-law of the dead man, who lives
at the residence, was the first to
reach Rawn after the shots were fired
He found the railway president in n
dying condition, blood seeping from a
wound in the breast. Rawn attempt
ed to speak but could not. lie died
five minutes later.
The Rawn residence at Winnetka. a
fashionable suburb, was occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Rawn, Mrs. Bigelow, a
married daughter, Ralph C. Coburn,
wife and two children. Robert c.
Brinkley. another son-in-law, occupies
separate home near the Rawn resi-
dence.
Immediately following the shooting
the Winnetka police were notified
They called up the Chicago depart
ment for assistance. Trains are being
watched and practically the entire de-
tective force joined in the search
for the slayer. The fact that the muir
der was committed by burglar is
established by finding jimmy marks
on the door which had been forced
open. The assassination is the eli
max to reign OF crime that has
driven residents of the North Shore
suburb almost to frenzy.

.RlLLiNG EXPERIENCE
OF ANOTHER AVIATOR

BARCELONA, Spain, July 20.dCling-
ing to a blazing aeroplane that had
been struck by lightning during a
thunder storm, Aviator Ehrman fell
to the ground with the shattered frame
work of the machine. escaping serious
injury as if through a miracle. A few
seconds after the aviator was dragged
out of the wreckage the woodwork of
the frame was burned to ashes. Ehr-
man was making a cross country flight
this morning watched by hundreds of
curious spectators. While sailing at
moderate height he approached a
low-hanging cloud. The wind had
freshened and there were indications
of sudden storm and crowds expect
ed to see the pilot turn his machine
around and give up the flight. In
stead, to their surprise, he kept his
course as if to plunge straight into
the cloud. Suddenly there was a
binding flash of lightning and a deaf
ening crash of thunder. In an instant
finder 1t had been struck by thun-
der bolt. Half insensible from the
electric shock the aviator could only
'oling helplessly to the frame work of
his machine while the flames ragged
about him on all sides. He tried to
set the planes so as to glide to earth
but the canvass was already burned
AoE and the wings did not support the
weight of the man and machinery in
the air The aeroplane fell like lead
striking the ground with thud. The
Mortified spectators rushed to the
scene expecting to find the aviator
crushed to death, but in some way he
had escaped with only few bruises
