The Messrs. Shubert and William A.

The success which attended the re-
vivals of the ''Mikado" three years ago.
and "Pinafore," which followed, prompted
the management to increase the roper
toire, In making these revivals it has
been the aim Of the producers to adhere
strictly to all the stage traditions which
surround the Gilbert and Sullivan man
agement as they were given at the Savoy
Theater. London, and to that end all
the business found in the original
prompt books has been faithfully pre-
served.
The four operas-"Pinafore' The Mi
kado," .Iolanthe" and The Pirates of
Penzance'-have never lost their hold
upon the affection of music lovers. Each
separate revival made in New York was
an artistic triumph. Gradually the de-
mand from other cities to see the pro-
ductions induced the Shuberts and Mr..
Brady to consider the formation Of a
permanent company. The same care In
selecting the chorus members was exer-
cised. with the result that every opera
is given an adequate and splendid
presentation. The orchestra, under the
direction of Frank Paret, is a we'll
trained band of musicians.

VIENNA ADMITS LOSSES
OF 10000 SOLDIERS
Empire is Plunged in Gloom Over
Conditions Thus Far Re-
suIting in the War.

Vienna, via Rome, Sept. 12.-All
Austria was plunged into gloom today
when official admission was made
here that. recent operations against
the Russians have cost the dual
empire one-fourth of her first line of
effective fighting men. Simultaneous
ly it became known for the first time
that the operations in Galicia and
Russian Poland have been under
personal direction of the Archduke
Francis Frederick.
The announcement at the war
office stated that since operations
against Russia began total losses in
killed, wounded and missing of the
Austrian first line army totals 100,
600 men.
In addition, large quantities of
military stores, ammunition and
cannon have been lost.
Hospitals, schools, hotels and all
public buildings of Vienna are filled
to overlooking with an almost in
credible number of wounded who are
arriving in constantly increasing
numbers on special trains from
Poland and Galicia. So great is the
overflow of wounded and so in
sufficient the accommodations here
that thousands are being pushed
right on through here to Baden and
other cities.
The economic situation is admitted
ly very grave. All efforts on the
part of the governmet to float a war
loan have failed and this is causing
as much worry as the reverses at
the front.

Official Figures of Grant County's
Vote, as Found BY County
Board of Canvassers.

The county board of canvassers
completed on Thursday night the
official canvass of the vote cast in
Grant county at the primary election
on Sept. I. The general results are
the same as outlined in The Herald
the day after election, although the
returns had been only partially re-
ceived from over the county at that
time
The figures show that Philip and
Cousins, the conservative republican
candidates for governor and lieutenant
governor, led the field for their
respective offices, not counting
Roethe, who received tremendous
vote for governor, his total in Grant
county being 2266, nearly three
times as much as his combined op-
position.
The contest between Harlan John :
son, of Boscobel, and Thos. A. Thomp-

nomination for register of deeds, was
the closest of all, Johnson winning

JOE McCOYS PAGER
SIR CONAN DOYLE
Makes Excellent Showing in Very
Fast Company on PlatteviIe
and Other Race Tracks.

The horse Frayola, that beat Sir
Conan Doyle, the horse owned by
Joe Mccoy, of this city, at the
Platteville races, IS considered the
best PAGER for his first year out that
ever hit the Great Western cracks.
The first time he turned around he
won the mile in 2:113 over a half
mile track, and was a close second
in 2 :O74 over half mile track prior
to his Platteville race. So the home
horse must be some horse. Sir Conan
Doyle won 4-heat race at Vinton,
Iowa, last Wednesday, ably driven
by Sheriff Dyer.
In the Platteville race Mr.. Dyer,
was charged with not driving the
horse to his best clip; although
existing conditions go far to justify
his course. The Platteville Journal
of last week, while offering criticism
of Mr.. Dyer's driving in that race
says much to prove the worth of the
horse in the following comment:
''The second race was an early clos
ing stake for $1,000 for 2:25 PAGERS and
had but four starters. Harry Shaw
good PAGER, Frayola, had no trouble to
annex the race The judges in this
race fined the driver of Sir Conan
Doyle $50 for not trying in the third
heat as it looked like he might have
beaten Shaw's horse. Previous to the
third heat no effort had been made to
beat Frayola and in this heat Starter
Bacon sent them away on even terms
and they raced neck and neck to the
first quarter in 1917 and to the half in
LOG, and when the three-fourths pole
was reached in 1:41, Shaw began to
take notice that he had horse race
and took to the whip. But the author
horse laid right there, and then at the
seven-eighths pole Dyer suddenly re-
membered that he was sheriff of Grant
County and took a firm hold of the
prisoner and showed him that he was
boss and made him walk in under the
wire in the hollow time of 2:21. The
judges thought that $50 was little en-
ought to make up for Mr.. .Dyer's lapse
of memory.

Was Mixed Concerning Names of
BoscobeI Constable and Prisoner
In Recent News Item.

In The Herald two weeks ago APP
peared an innocent little three line
item stating that Amos Devoe, of
Boscobel, had been committed to the
county Jail on charge of disorderly
conduct. The item had been handed
in by our reporter and was a clear
case of reporter gone wrong. The
man committed was John Huffey
and Amos Devoe is the name of the
Boscobel constable who brought him
here to be locked up. Luckily for
the reporter Devoe is a mighty fine
and good-natured chap who did not get
mad about the mistake, but just the
same the editor of this paper is going
to keep his weather eye peeled when
ever he is in Boscobel until he is sure
that the constable is not looking for

RESULTS ON STATE TICKET

Madison, Sept. 12.-Returns from
the primary election of Sept. I, re-
ceived officially at the secretary of
states office from sixty-six counties
and unofficially from five, give a
nearly complete estimate of the vote
cast.
There were 1872, 132 votes cast for
the republican and democratic candi-
dates for governor. There were
30, 237 cast in the republican primary,
and II, 895 in the democratic.
The vote for governor follows ::
Republican-Philipp, ~, 457; Dahl,
20, 516, Hatton, ., 352; Hull,
1O,688; Roethe, 12,017; Utman,
6,2O7.
Democratic-Karel, 81, 558; Ayl-
ward, "a, 337.
The vote on senator was:
Republican-McGovern, 5000;
Bancroft, %, 1872; Morris, %, 564;
Estabrook, 6,316; Burke, 1864;
Strange. IL, 146.
mocratic-Husting, 80, $50:
Kearney, 27,925.
The vote for lieutenant governor
shows that Ed F. Dithmar, progress
sive republican candidate, is a win
ner over his closest competitor,
Mashall Cousins, conservative candi-
date, by vote of 81, O56 to 80, 523,
a plurality of 535.
The race for secretary Of state is
still undecided.
Henry Johnson, progressive candi-
date for state treasurer, ran ahead OF
Schardt. conservative, by 25,537
votes and Walter c. Owen, progress
sive candidate for attorney general,
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1914-09-16

won out over Frank Bentley, con-
servative by 1884 votes.
McGovern's plurality over Ban
croft is 1O,3O4. 1t is likely that
second choice votes may bring Morris,
who ran close third, into second
place.
The two tickets show a curious
alignment as a result of the inroads
made by the conservatives. They
stand as follows:
Republican-United States senator,
Francis E. McGovern, bull mooser
Governor, E. L. Philip, conservative /;
Lieutenan governor, Ed F. Dithmar,
progressive; Secretary of State, Nels
Holman. conservative Attorney gen.
eral, w. C. Owen, progressive; State
Treasurer, Henry Johnson, progress
sive.
Democratic-United States senator,
Paul Husting, progressive; governor,
John G. Karel, conservative; Lieu
tenant governor, NJ. C. Hoyt, pro-
gressive; Secretary of state, Harry
c. Truesdell, progressive; State Treas
urer, Joseph Fisher, conservative /;
Attorney general, Charles A. Kading,
conservative.
Philip, carried thirty counties in
state, Dahl carried twenty-one, Hat
ton nine, Roethe and Hull three each
and Utman none. Philips counties
were those with the heaviest vote,
and his plurality in Milwaukee, sent
him ahead and kept him ahead of
Dahl. On the democratic side,
Karel carried but twenty four coun-
ties to Aylward's forty-one, but the
Karel counties carried the bulk of
the vote.
