 Col. N.s H. Heft and Henry Carsten. sen will be the judges for the affair and three 1:bbons will be awarded for each class. There have been 37 er.- tries, a particularly good representa- ton, as the club membership is but 56.

MAN WHO THREATENED CORBIT TRACED BY THE
 POLICE TO NICHOLS

Police search today continues for. the man who on Tuesday night threatened the life Of Photographer L. H. 9Corbif 1152 Main street. with the pTobabiIIty that an arrest will be made in Nich- oIs today.
 Though it was learned that the name of the man has been ascertained land that he is acomparatively young man by the name Of Crouch, residing at Nichols, the authorities and Corbit are today most reticent in divu1ging furth- or details.
 Tt is also admitted that the police search for the man kept up all yester- day without his having been definitely located. It was expected that he would appear at the Corbit studio dur ing the morning hours and Detectives Bray and Doo1ey were secreted in the photographic studio, that should the undoubtedly insane man again appear. he would immediately be overcome.
 That he has now returned to Nfch- ols and will be in custody before night fall seems altogether probable from the activity of the local police and the clues which they have unearthed

Venna's Glowing Reports.

Venice, via Paris, Oct. 1.-1:35 a.
m.-Vieana papers are publishing
daily reports of German and Austrian
successes in the eastern and western
theaters of war.
The Neus Weier Journal declares
German troops are going on from vic
tory to victory and that the French
army soon will be forced to retreat
before the German advance. In the
Austrian provinces the press is evea
more optimistic, especially in south
ern Austria, where the Slav journals
print such extraordinarily glowing re-
ports that the peasants believe the
Germans already are in Paris.
Lately the educated classes in Au-
stria are beginning to show signs OF
dissatisfaction at the lack of reliable
news. Women especially are de-
manding to know what has happened
to their men folks. The newspapers
