BIG QUEBEC BRIDGE
DROPS INTO RIVER
Longest CdntiIever Span in the
World Breaks in Two With
Heavy Loss of Life

was followed by break in the
center.
The bridge was being constructed
at a cost of $17,0O0,000 to shorten the
railway journey from Halifax to the
Canadian northwest 200 miles and
stands on the site of the structure
which collapsed in August, 1907, with
loss of 70 lives.
The loss of life is variously esti-
mated, the company erecting the
bridge placing the dead at upwards
of 25. Twenty men are known to
have been injured and five bodies
have been recovered.
The property loss by the Quebec
bridge disaster is approximately $780,
900, stated Geo. l.. Evans. of the
Dominion Bridge company. The acci
dent will delay completion OF the
structure ten months. 1t is believed
the span can be raised.

GENERAL ELECTION OF YEAR

first and second districts stand
strongly behind the national execu-
tive.
If the Democrats by popular vote
re-elect United States Senator Chas.
F. Johnson and win another seat in
the Senate through the defeat Of
former Gov. B. NJ Fernald by Ken
meth c. M. Stills, dean of Bowdoin
college. 1t will be taken as evidence
that the voters of the state generally
wish to hold up the hands of Presi-
dent Wilson
The fight for United States senators
is especially important, as upon the
outcome may depend the control of
the upper house.
The control of the state legislature
is important locally, as the two
houses on a joint ballot elect the
state officers with the exception Of
governor and state auditor.

NEW ORE BODY

East Of the east ore body on the

ore shoot has been picked up. 1t pre-
serves the dip and trend of the other
shoots encountered on this remark
able level, which now shows FIVE ore
bodies of ore, each of which would

The new body is from twelve to
fourteen feet in width at right angles
and the full face assays range from
$19.40 to $21.60 The ore is half
oxide and half sulphide. 1t carries
proportions of zinc and antimony
similar to the other shoots. This is
the second largest find on this level
and the management attaches great
importance to it as il Is one that was
not reached on the level above and
may continue to or near the surface

500 feet of backs. The ore. having

How to Vote

Some question has arisen as to how
to vote, 1t has Been learned that
some judges at the last election threw
out ballots which were MARKED in the
straight party ticket square, and then
had some marks for the various can
didates. Here is the law on this ques-
ton: " t
"lf you wish to vote straight ticket,
make mark in the circle at the top
of the ballot to the left OF the nams
of your party, and your ballot will
then be counted FOR every candidate
and as approval OF party action on
any constitutional amnedInent of that
party on the ballot, If you wish TO
vote otherwise than straight ticket
make a cross in the square to the left
of the name of each person for whom
you wish to vote or for or against any
constitutional amendment; if You wish
to vote a straight ticket with the en-
ception of certain offices or constitu-
tlonal amendment place cross, in the
circle at the head of the ticket for
which you wish to vote in the main,
and then place cross in the square
to the left Of the candidates of the
other parties for whom You wish to
vote, or in the squarA to ths left Of
the words" For" or Against" in any
constitutional amendment. When two
or more candidates OF the same party
are to be voted for the same office
las two or more representatives. and
the voter wishes to vote for one or
more of dis own party and zone or
more of another party he must make
a cross after each candidate for whom
he wishes to vote for that office"

Norris Applauded
In Holdrege Speech

Holdrege, 'Neb., Nov. 6.--(Special, }
The 1916 campaign was closed here
last night with United States Senator
George W. Norris and c.. Petrus
Peterson, city attorney of Lincoln,
who addressed one of the largest au-
diences that has gathered to listen to
political addresses since .fhe stirring
days of 1896. Senator Norris dis
cussed national tissues, and was
greeted by hearty applause. Dues
tons of particular interest to Ne
braska voters received special atten-
ton from Mri Peterson. Gang
rule "Nullenism" and the misrepre-
sensations of the attitude of the Swed-
ish ministers on Hitchcock's candi-
dacy were discussed frankly and fully.
In this portion of hts address Mr..
Peterson urged that Robert w, De
woe b, elected attorney general, and
the Office taken from the incompetent
hands Of the present incumbent. In
discussing the Underwood tariff, Mr.
Peterson said, II am not preaching
sectionalism, but protesting against
it. If reading the, Underwood tariff
schedules is sectionalism, the fault
lies in the schedules and not in my
speech" When Mr. Peterson ridi-
culed the slogan, ''he has kept us out
of war" his remarks were greeted
with considerable laughter. His par
ody. on this was, thank God for the
sheriff, he has kept us out of jail
