Important Derision Made In Contest
Over Nomination.
A ruling which may change the re
sult of the recent republican primary
election for the state's attorney nom
ination was made by Judge Cutting,
of Chicago, when he declared the vot
ers who voted as democrats two years
previous to the primary could not le
gally vote for the nomination of any
one on any other ticket. At the prim
aries John J. Healy, present state's at
torney, was defeated by John E. W.
Wayman. A recount, of the votes con
firmed this result, but, according to
Healy, developed numerous cases of
fraudulent voting.' Democrats, he al
leged, were voting in squads for Way
man. He brought suit before Judge
Cutting to annul the election and the
court's ruling is regarded as of the
greatest importance.

Cholera, Victims Shipped Ont of St.
IVtersbtirg.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg says
the cholera dead are being Interred at
Preobrazhensko, which Is about an
hour' distance on the railroad from
St. Petersburg. A train of several
loaches carrying the mourner and a
dozen freight cars with the dead in
rude coffin goes dally to this place.
The scenes are heartrending In the
:hapel where service is conducted un
interruptedly night and day.
The coffins are of rude workman
ihlf. They are made of spruce, and
thickly coated with tar. The Identi
fication numbers of the patient are
marked with white paint.
A coffin after coffin Is brought to
the chapel the women who haye gath
ered there, singling out the numbers,
betray frantic grief. In some cases a
mad struggle Is made to wrench off the
lids and snatch a last look at the
dead. . ,JTri
The scarcity of grave diggers ha
caused a painful delay in the past few
days, 4 50 coffins containing bodies now
being stored In the adjoining wood
shed. Some of the mourner have
been waiting their turn for several
day.
The Rech report a case In which a
cabman made the rounds of all the
hospital with a cholera patient, who
was refused admission to all of them.
The vigorous campaign In Manila
for the eradication of cholera I be
lieved to be preventing any apprecia
ble increase In the spread of the dis
ease. There is an average of about
fifty new case dally. In official cir
cles it Is maintained that there Is still
a, possibility that the city may be rid
ded of the cholera before the arrival
of the American battleship fleet.

away. Taylor overtook the negro af
ter chasing him two blocks. Clark
felled Taylor with a rock and after
a struggle took from the constable his
revolver and shot him In the thigh.
The negro escaped Into the woods
where he was captured by a citizens'
posse. They strung him to a tree af
ter he had confessed to shooting the
officer. After the crowd had dispersed
the rope with which the negro had

came unconscious, but after being cut
down he revived In a short time.

the Sautee Sioux Indians who will
be located In the northwest corner of

Crelghton, Verdlgre, Nlohrara and
Center in the fight. In the proposed
new county are Hloomfleld, Crofton
and Wausa, with the former near the
center.
