N|NNE:AP IS
WET AS RESULT
Of VOTERS VERDICT

Minneapolis, Oct 5.-That the
prohibition forces had been routed
by a majority OF at least 5000 was
indicated at midnight when returns
from 1S0 precincts out of 1913 gave
the vets 37,04S and the drys 2S,552.
Frank L. Aid, head of the saloon
forces, estimated at midnight that
the vets had carried the county by
from 5000 to 9,O00
The vote in the municipalities of
Minneapolis was generally in favor
Of the vets and the country vote
seemed to give the edge to the drys.
Rev. George b. Stafford, head Of
the dry organization, charged "gross-
est frauds and illegal voting" as re-
sponsible for the large vote polled
by the wet forces.
"It now appears that the vets
have carried the election" Mr.. Stat
ford said shortly before midnight.
eff it had not been for the grossest
frauds and illegal voting there would
have been no doubt about the results.
We are still in the ring however and
if we are defeated shall bide our
time"
During the day charges were free
ly made by both sides and much bit
terness was shown at the polling
places. Three men were arrested at
the Seven Corners charged with vio-
lating the corrupt practices act 1t
was said by the police that these
men were employees of a brewing
company and thye were distributing
"wet'' hand bills.
Intense enthusiasm marked the
street demonstration here last night.
As bulletins appeared on the boards
before the newspaper Offices the
crowd would burst into cheers. On
the roof Of one newspaper building
a searchlight swept the skies, the
color thrown on the clouds indicat-
ing the trend Of the vote. A white
light signaled that the drys were
leading and green light showed the
vets ahead.
AS the vote see~sa wed early in the
night, thousands watched the rays Of
the searchlisht, AS they reflected al
ternately white and green. Adher-
ents of the wet burst into prolonged
cheers as the green light showed con-
tinually for 20 minutes shortly after
10 o'clock, indicating the wet VIC
tory.
Most of the population of Henne-
pin county is within the city bound
airy but as there are saloons in all
villages and the wet and drys Waged
their fight vigorously everywhere.
Minneapolis with a population OF
$4,000 has 800 saloons, and is said
to be the largest city in the country
to test the prohibition issue by ball
lot. At the headquarters of both
the vets and drys many kilograms
were received during the day maxi
ing inquiries as to the probable out
come of the contest and showing
wide spread interest in the election.
There are 423 saloons i'll the
county.

NO WORD FROM BULGARIA.

London, Oct. 5.-When the time
allotted Bulgaria by the aflies.
through Russia, to turn her back ON
Germany, Austria and Turkey, had
expired, the expiration of the time
limit had brought no immediate sur
face indications to clarity the s!tua-
ton.
Whether the Russian minister had
left the Bulgarian capital, as his
government threatened should Bull
garia decline to submit to the Rus
sian ultimatum, Whether Bulgaria
dissembled asking for further time.
or whether King Ferdinand and his
supporters observed silence, is not
yet known in London. Either the
censorship or the vagaries of war;
time cable service, or the two COM
bines, resulted in keeping London IN
the dark although definite news is
expected hourly.
Events have been transpiring,
however, in keeping with the fast
approaching crisis involving the en-
try of the Balkans in the European
conflict. Russian warships have ap-
peared in the Black sea, Off the Bull
garian, port Of Varna; French and
British troops have landed at Salon
Xxi, a Greek port so miles south of
the Bulgarian frontier, and Bulgar-
ian troops which have been on the
move for several days, have been
massed in great numbers along the
Serbian border.

The Local Newspaper

This is the way it looks to a writer
who has travelled some, and has watch
ed for reasons why a town prospers.
He says this about the town newspaper
"Stand by your town newspaper. If
there is anything in your town worth
talking about, ten chances to one your
little town newspaper had hand in
putting it there, and if there exists any
unsightly or unsavory nuisance, twenty
chances to one it will stay there until
your town editor sees it or smells it
and wipes his pen on the town board S
breeches. If anyone beyond the walls
of your little burg ever learns that
there is such place as Peaceville, it
will be through the town oracle.
every village gets its moneys
worth in the village newspaper. It's
the wagon that carries all your good
things to market. 1t ought to be kept
in good repair. In many cases it may
pay to grease it, paint it, keep it's run
ming gear in shape and shelter it at the
public expense.
"Stand by your local newspaper. It's
the guardian and defender of every in
terest, the forerunner and pioneer of
every advance movement and the sturdy
advocate of law and order. Take it
away and it would not be six months
before the town would look as if it had
been doped. Business would drag
society would yawn and grass would
grow between the cobbles."

Attendance Fell Off

The total paid attendance at the
state fair this year was 4l,2l7, COM
pared with 45, ,536 year ago.
While possibly the elimination of
betting affected the attendance slightly,
it is believed the principal reason lies
in the fact that harvesting was so
much later than ever before that thous-
ands of Montana farmers who other
wise would have come to the fair were
compelled to remain away.

an abandoned working and caused
more than 900 feet of gangway roof
to fall, shutting off means of escape.
The men are now in the hospital and
1t is said all will recover.
Blast Through Solid Rock.
The task of the rescuers was made
more difficult by three-foot stream
of water which flowed from an ad.

regulated only by constant operation
of many pumps.
After blasting and tearing away
more than 300 feet of solid rock, coal
and tlnbers that had been wedged
