The Union base ball team last Sun day at the Dunbar park, came very near winning a game, a thing which has not happened for many a moon.

THREE SOUTH WEST STATES MISSOURI. KANSAS AND OKLA HOMA VOTED YESTERDAY RESULTS NOT ALL IN 6GV. ALLEN CHOICE OF KANSAS Although Opposed by Labor Looks Like Senatoi Gore of Okla homa, is Defeated. St. Louis, Aug. 3. -Unofficial in complete returns from today's state wide primary indicated John Atkin son had defeated Frank H. Farris and Charles H. Mayer for the democrat ic nomination for governor. Arthur M. Hyde and E. K. E. McJimsey, con testing for the republican nomina tion, were running neck and neck, the former polling a large vote in the rural sections of the state, and the latter running strong in many of the larger cities. Senator Sheldon P. Spencer ap n:)rfTiilv won iivpr Dwislit V. Davie and James L. Minnis for the republi can nomination for United States sen ator. Breckinridge Long was run ning strong for the democratic nomi nation and it anneared he would de feat his five opponents Charles M. Hay. George M. scruton, Artnur Lindsey, Henry S. Priest and John C. Higdon. Senator Gore Defeated Oklahoma City. Aug. 3. A tabu lation by the Daily Oklahoman at midnight of returns from 810 pre cincts from fifty-five of the seventy- seven counties in the state give Scott Ferris 61.200 votes for the democratic nomination for U. S sen ator and Senator Thomas P. Gore 5S..572 in today's statewide primary. Early returns, coming in rapidly from towns and cities, but slowly from the rural districts at midnight gave Scott Ferris the lead over Sen ator Gore. Returns on the repub lican contest for the senatorial nom ination' were meagre. The Gore strength, it was said at political headquarters here, would not appear until late as it lies in he rural precincts. Kansas Incumbents Win Topeka, Kan., Aug. 3. Early re turns from today's statewide primary election indicate Senator Chas. Cur tis, Governor Henry J. Allen and all present congressmen are leading their respective opponents. The returns from the city indicate labor voted against Allen, putting him behind Senator Curtis. In the rural districts, however, the vote for the governor apparently was large. The democratic returns up to a late hour were, not sufficient to form any estimate of the strength of the four candidates for the nomination for governor. Jonathan Davis, W. S. Hvatt, Dempster Potts and O. T. Wood. George H. Hodges, democrat, was nominated for the United States sen ate without opposition. The following named were nomi nated for representatives in congress on the republican ticket without op position: Homer Hoch, Hays B. White and J. N. Tincher. These democratic- candidates for representatives in congress were un opposed: J. D. Tarkington, Thomas F. Johnson, J. R. Beeching and W. A. Avers. EVEN THE BEST OF 'EM FAIL. From "Wednesday's Dally. The tragic death of Lieut. Lock lear and his assistant, recounted in today's press dispatches will come as a surprise to those who saw the fear less aviator perform at the state fair last fall. And, although wonderful strides have been made in flying, it cannot be decreed as absolutely safe, .iny more than automobiling, or any of the various "improved" modes of travel that have come in vogue dur ing the past decade. Locklear and his assistants flaw over Plattsmouth in two planes last fall while enroute to Lincoln and were seen by large numbers of Plattsmouth people who were attracted by the rumbling of their motors as they swooped down over the buildings apparently in an effort to gain their proper bearings, for soin they rose to a high altitude and continued on their way. Frank Wooster was among those going to Omaha this afternoon to visit for a few hours while attend ing to some matters of business in that city. John McLean and wife and Rich ard Avard wife and little son will depart this afternoon on their way to New York and Quebec, prior to sailing for Europe.
