EIGHTY PER CENT,
Vote CAST HERE
MANY SURPRISES IN THE VOTE
CAST At PRIMARY ELECTION
WEDNESDAY
Hacks, Automobiles and Other Meth
DDS Of Transportation Used to Carry
Voters to the Polls.

The primary vote cast in the city
of Bismarck yesterday was heavier
in proportion than in a great many
other cities of the state, there being
fully an eighty per cent ballot.
There was very little disturbance at
any of the polling places, and only
one arrest was made. That one was
a colored man, who swore in his vote
and afterwards it was learned that he
had no vote coming in Bismarck and
the police threw him in.
There were several surprises as
the returns commenced to come in,
but on the whole the majority OF the
voters seem to be satisfied with the
outcome. An unusually strong ticket
has been named in all the Offices.
Its sure to rain when the polls
close" was the sentiment expressed
at every corner. And it certainly
did rain. It did more than rain-it
poured. 1t resembled a small-sized
cloudburst for a few moments. 1t
seemed as if the Almighty was so
tickled with the republican ticket
nominated in North Dakota that He
Immediately sent down the much
needed rain, and it descended in gen.
erous quantities.
Every hack, automobile, buggy and
"one boss shay" in the entire city
was called into service to convey the
voters to the polls. The intense heat
of the early part of the day made this
imperative, or the total vote would
have been very small. When the rain
came later in the afternoon the hacks
were called into additional service
and were kept more than busy until
late hour in the evening.

Thsy Figured In an Amusing Case Of
Mistaken Identity.
1t may be doubted If there ever &C.
Cured more amusing instance Of
mistaken identity than that afforded
by Theodore Hook, the English humor-
list of his time. and It all came about
through a pair Of boots. Hook was
travelling along the south coast Of Eng
land and arrived in the course of his
Journey at Dover
Alighting at the Ship hotel he chang
ed his boots. ordered slight dinner
and went out for a stroll through the
town. Returning at the appointed
time, he was surprised to find tho
whole establishment in confusion. A
crowd had collected outside the door.
The master Of the house was standing
at the foot of the stairs with two can
dies IN his hands, and on Theodore's
entrance he walked backward before
him and conducted him into the prin-
cipal saloon. where all the walters
were standing and a magnificent re-
past had been provided. The wit was
much amused at the dignity to which
be had been promoted, but. being an
easy going fellow. made no scruples
and, sitting down. did full justice to
what was set before him. Next day
he signified his intention Of departing
and ordered coach, when. to his as
constituent. carriage and four drove
up to convey him to his destination.
He inquired with some apprehension
what he was to pay for all this gran"
deur and was no less astonished than
gratiied on receiving the answer.

mystified. but the next night. Oh TAX

SEVERE STORM
west OF river
NEAR TORNADO REPORTED FROM
MOTT AND VICINITY
YESTERDAY
Rain Which Visited City was Only
Local shower-Hall West Of River
and High Wind.

Wednesday afternoon there was a
severe wind, rain and electric storm
west of the river. Part of the storm
reached this city about supper time
and made some of the worthy bust
ness people late for their evening
meal.
It is reported that there was consid-
cradle hail about twenty-five miles
west of Mandan. There was almost
cloud burst there for while, and
it looked as if the weather man was
trying to make up for lost time all
at once.
It was rumored that the village of
Mott had been visited by a tornado,
and all the lines leading to the little
town are down, so that it is impos-
sible to substantiate this story. The
village cannot be reached by tele-
phone from either Mandan or Rich
ardton at present.
The rain which visited Bismarck
was purely local. 1t did not extend
east as far as Jim Fields, and at Fort
Lincoln it did not rain as much as
in the city, while out at Engdahl's
farm there was no precipitation what
ever.
When it did come down in the city.
it poured. There was 1875 incres of
rainfall in a very few minutes. 1t
will be of great value to the crops,
some of which can still be saved.

HAWAII LAUNCHED IN
NEW COAT OF PAINT
Crew Is All Selected and Will
Report on Board for Orders
Tomorrow Afternoon.

The yacht Hawaii came off the ways
yesterday afternoon, all scrubbed and
dressed in new coat of paint, ready
to start ON her long voyage to the Coast
to take her place at the head of the
racing fleet for the home run from San
Pedro, to start on the ninth of July.
She looks slick and slender, as though
she would slip through the water, cast
ing all possibility of defeat to the
winds.
Capt. Charley Wilder announced yes
terday that his crew was practically
complete, although they had not all
signed up for the cruise. They are:
Tom King, Charley Lewis, Jack
Q 'Brien, Robert Hendry, W. H. Stroud,
Chauncey Wilder, Joe Pike, Harry
Brock, Hamilton, the cook, and Sims,
the cabin boy.
All hands will go aboard tomorrow
afternoon for the captain to look them
over and see that none are missing and
give the final instructions to prepare
for the voyage.
! The committee in charge of the col
lection of funds said yesterday that a
sufficient amount of money had been Sc.
cured to warrant the yacht leaving, and
the solicitors would proceed leisurely
after the rest.
! Hawaii and Kauai have not yet been
heard from, but these islands have been
given time allowance which extends
until about the middle of next month
before they will have to remit, so that
the contributors over there will have g
chance to accumulate comfortable
sum.
A large part of the money will moi
be needed until the finish of the race
when all the visiting yachtsmen from
the Coast will have to be entertained
here in Honolulu, and possibly at SOM
be arranged while the racers are in Ha
waiian waters.

SUGGESTS WAYS OF
IMPROVING SPORTS
A. A. U. Delegate Would Have
Various Clubs Boost for
Each Others Games.

cit would he a good idea, when the
Honolulu branch of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union is organized, for each of the
local clubs coming into it to boost
the other IS games" R. A. Jordan, pres
ident of the Honolulu Cricket Club, said
yesterday.
Mr.. Jordan was one of the enthu-
siastic delegates who attended the
meeting in Lorrin Andrews Office last
Monday to initiate the movement to-
ward perfecting the local organization.
He spoke of the dues question yester-
day urging that the regular expenses
should be kept down, not so much for
economy's sake but to enable the or
ganization to encourage sports by ar
ranging big events and putting up or
ganization medals and prizes to de-
velop record breakers and stimulate
interest in all the games. He did not
overlook the economy feature, however,
referring to the Honolulu Chess Club,
which was broken up by too lavish
expenditure on club quarters, making
it too costly for some to continue their
membership, with the burden falling
on those who remained and causing the
whole thing to collapse.
In regard to each club boosting the
others sports, Mr.. Jordan said that the
cricket club tried TO follow out the idea
and sought to arrange its matches SC
as not to conflict with other games
which the players might be interested
in, but n good many others did not show
the same consideration. eff, however
each club would do all it could to pro
mote the events of the other clubs, ,
Mr.. Jordan said, "there would be more
general interest in sports and all would
lprofit"
If all the delegates who contemplate
attending the next meeting which il
called for Monday afternoon, june 6
would think up some suggestions along
these lines mneh benefit win be derived
from the discussions alone.
