CONG. ELECTION MIX.UP

County Auditor Eide received off.
cial orders from the secretary of state
at Bismarck during the week to defer
the printing of the ballots for the
congressional election until the state
supreme court has had time to deter
mine the political status of the candi-
date nominated at the republican con.
vention. The republicans claim that
their nominee, o. B. Burtness, is en-
titled to place in the republican COL
umn on the ballot, but the states
legal advisor, the attorney general,
claims that the congressional election
comes under the provisions of the pri-
mary election law and gives no rec
ognition to the convention held at the
Forks. Mr.. Burtness, however, was
among the candidates who filed pc
titions and if the court takes the same
view of the matter as the states ad.
ministration, his name will be print
ed in the same column on the ballot
as others seeking election to congress-.
Another feature if this should be the
outcome is that the ballot would also
contain the names of all candidates
who filed petitions. This would mean
that Candidates Plain, Wick, Cuth-
bert and others who withdrew their
candidacy at the convention making
possible the nomination of Burtness.
Their names appearing on the ballot
would only add to the mix-up and
minimize the chances of the election
of the regular nominee. The decision
of the court is expected to be handed
down before the end of the week.

WALHALLA CHAUTAUQUA AS
SEMBLY-FOURTH SEASON

Starts next Saturday, June 3Oth,
lasts 10 days. 1t promises to he the
best Chautauqua ever held in Walhal-
la, JOG tents have been ordered which
will give them population of about
900 people on the grounds. Large
improvements have been made on
the Chautauqua grounds, new drive
ways, new bridges, new ticket office
and refreshment stand. The dam
has been repaired, which is the best
improvement for Walhalla. 1t gives
the campers fine place for boating
and swimming. The tents this year
are all new, rain proof tents.
"The so called Fourth of July cele.
bration at Wa]halla, is strictly
against the will of the chautauqua
association, as and the most of the citi-
zens of Walhalla and community.
But Walhalla is unfortunate as the
race track is outside of the city
limits, and hand full of men take
advantage of the townspeople of
Walhalla and Chautauqua, in placing
out posters and calling it a celebra
tion year after year, against the will
of citizens and community boosters.
The Walhalla chautauqua association
give all their enter taiments on the
chautauqua grounds only, and ale not
responsible for anything outside of
the chautauqua park. Fifty cents pays
for all day. Two big programs and
any person dissatisfied with the days
program may call at the office for the
refund Of the money.

VICE ADMIRAL SIMS
 DENIES DESTROYER
 SUNK SUBMARINE.

Base of the American Flotilla in Brit ish Waters June 22.-Questioned today regarding a report published in the Unit ed States yesterday that an American destroyer was believed to have rammed and sunk a submarine, Vice Admiral Sims, the naval commander, said:
 The story is absolutely false.'
 Jackies of the American patrol flotil,a are getting the best of care and fare, as cne result of the adequate equipment of the flotilla's mother ship and the effici- ency of the men who man it.
 It is really marvellous what you Americans can do," remarked British officer The ship not only keeps the fleet in trim but bakes the bread and per- forms innumerable other services for the men,

 Disorders again have broken out among the sailors of the Russian Black sea fleet at Sebastopol. They are re- ported to be connected with the retire ment of the commander of the fleet and propaganda by forces of reaction. The trouble is not believed to be serious.
 Unofficial advices from Vienna are to the effect that the cabinet crisis has not yet been settled. It is asserted that Count Clam Martinic. the premier has been unable to form new ministry and has requested Emperor Charles to relieve him of the task.

Likewise in the Austro-ltalian theatre the offensive of the Italians. which was resumed Wednesday on the front southeast of Trent has slackened materially in intensity. On the other fronts only minor engagements have taken place.
