Lars Peterson, who lives six miles

last week to lose seven head of cows
by drowning in the Missouri river.
The animals wandered from the
ranch and, going to the river to drink,
fell into an air hole in the ice. The
'ows were valuable stock and the loss
to Mr.. Peterson is estimated at be-
tween six and seven hundred dollars.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE VISITS new YORK
Pilgrims are Headed Up Sycamore Hill, Which
Has Been Erased From the Politi-
cal Map.

NEW YORK, June 12.-ChAr1os b.
Hughes. republican candidate for
president, opened his campaign with
q rush today with trip to Now York
for conferences with party leaders.
Hughes arrived at seven a. m, and
went directly to the Hotel Astor
where he displayed true campaign
form by sending word he would see
newspaper men at once.
With his secretary, Lawrence H.
Green, Hughes slipped out of Wash
ington shortly after midnight SO
quietly that only few persons in the
station noted his departure. At his
suite at the hotel 1t was said his
plans for the visit here were not
complete. 1t was understood he prob
ably would confer with former Attor-
ney General George w. Wickersham.
The New York police department:
had been tipped regarding Hughes
visit and fifty detectives were assign
ed to guard the candidate on his ar
rival at the Twenty-thfrd street sta
ton and on the drive to his hotel.
Reports that Hughes and Roosevelt
would meet and that the coloneps full
support OF the republican candidate
would follow, were generally discuss
ed as news Of tho candidates visit
spread.
II came to New York primarily to
make arrangements for the summer"
Hughes told reporters who met him
on the ferry. "Of course other mat
ters will engage my attention"
"Will you see Roosevelt2" he was
asked.
II have nothing to say about po'i'
tics" Hughes replied.
Hughes and his secretary made th 9
trip from Washington in lower berths
travelling as any private citizen might
and the candidate was unrecogntzed
by passengers. The colored porter
who recognized his star passenger
grinned broadly and kept his discov'
cry discretely to himself. At the
station, Hughes picked up his bag and
with an umbrella crooked over his
arm made his way through to the
ferry. On the boat his presence was
made known when movie men rushed
up and requested him to be willing
victim. He showed that he was py
mounting to the upper deck where
the light was good and moving about
as the picture men directed.

Russia's Astonishing Success

NEW YORK, June 12.-The aston

Not since the war began have the
allies been able to deliver a stimuli
taneous assault along all the Teutonio

emily played Gernany's game by per-
mitting the central powers to concen-
trate their forces against a single
enemy at time-which was the
reason why Frederick the Great won
the seven years war against contin-
entail Europe. If the allies now
again hold back in the west and allow
Germany and Austro-Hungaria to
meet the new Slavouic offensive un-
hampered, there can be no expecta-
