Jackson County, in cluding Kansas City, gives W. S. Cow herd tho Democratic nominee for Gov ernor by a plurality of 13,000.

The cities turned the scale In favor of Cow herd. All the present Missouri Congressmen wer- renominated except in the Eleventh District, where William T. Findlay, of St. Louis, was named y the Republicans to succeed Congressman H. Clautleld. Re publican, who was not up for renomlna tion. Gore and Flynn Are Nominees. GUTHRIE, Okla.. Aug. 6.

Rumors are current In some circles that members of the operating depart ment will also go out in sympathy, but this Is thought to be hardly probable. The trainmen's representatives say the mat ter of striking has never been given con sideration and unless the unexpected hap pens they will not be affected. The strikers allege that the cause of the trouble was the action of the com pany in promulgating the award of the majority of the arbitration board without consulting the union representatives. This the strikers construed as a breach of the spirit of the award. The com pany has taken the ground that the time Is ripe for a readjustment of relations between the. unions and the Canadian Pacific, owing to the traffic conditions.

GREWSOME FIND IN LAKE Chicago Police Probe Mystery of Dismembered Corpse.- CHICAGO, Aug. 5. A grewsome murder mystery that promises to be one of the most baffling with which the police have had to deal in some time was developed today by the discovery of the dismem bered body of a boy in what Is known as Mud Lake in the stockyards dis trict. The finding of the lower limbs severed at the hips and at the knee this morning was followed this afternoon by the discovery of the torso which had drifted some distance. The legs were wrapped In a newspaper and part of a shirt bearing the initial "C," and at first were supposed to be those of a young woman. The torso from which the arms had also been hacked disclosed that the victim was a boy. That a crime was committed and the body hacked up In order to destroy evi dence is Indicated by the manner in which the limbs were torn from the torso and the feet severed at the ankles. In order to make Identification almost im possible. Suggestions that the portions of the body might have come from a cadaver used In a medical college have been rendered untenable by the manner In which the amputation was. done. The Instruments used were evidently a hatch et and a saw. Dragging the lake for other parts of the body will be started by the police today. In the hope of finding the head and trunk of the body.
