It Is contended on the other hand, how ever, that the rural voter will be in his element and will take a day off from the plough and cast his ballot in many Instances where had the day been good he would have staid in the field. County Clerk Fields Is having a strenuous day. Tbe nigh wind or last night blew down four of his vot- ng tents, while the Inclement weath er made the work of putting up the six tents not erected last night an unpleasant task. He said this morn ing, however, that all would be ready throughout the county when noon time came and the polls were , opened. As Is usual th people of the state are being given a taste ef prohibition during the afternoon, between the hours or 1 noon ana in tne arternoon wnen the polls are open. During that time th saloons are required by law to be closed. Although the contest for nomination for different offioes is bitter in some Instances, the indications point to n nulet dev with no trouble at the polls, Sheriff Stevens, Chief Gritzmacher and the district attorney are all working in harmony to secure the prevention of any trouble should there be a desire on the part of any one to cause troublo. Any one who desires to ride during th afternoon will have to be a voter or he will get but little chance, unless he takes to the streetcars. Different candidates and groups of candidates have hired nearly every available hack. cab and automobile In the city for tho purpose or hauling the reluctant voter to his polling place.

GRANDCHILD CREDITOR OF EX-SENATOR CLARK (TTolted Prsa LeaMd Wire.) Kansas City, April 17. Doea former Senator W. A. Clark, the Montana multi millionaire, owe his grandchild the dif ference between $3,000 and 11,000,000? One report says he does, but the for mer statesman himself Is reticent on the question. Anyway, It Is said that six years ago he announced that ha would glv his first grandchild $1,000, 000. On December 81, 1905, a daughter waa born to Charles Clark, his son. At the birth of the child the former sena tor again repeated his promise, it is said, but now comes John M. Foster, grandfather of Mrs. Charles Clark, with the statement that since then Clark has given the girl $1,000 on each of her three birthdays. So she has 13,000 to her credit instead of $1,000,000. ; Woman Kills Herself. (United Press Leiited Wire.) San Francisco, April 17.
