Regulars With .310.
With ths end of the fourth week it
home In Bight, the Heavers are showing
flashes of their old-time form.' ami
When they go south tonight will prob
ably bs in shape to put up a good fight
gainst the southern clubs for the next
few weeks. There have been several
surprises during the last week, which,
added to the records of the previous
three Weeks, make a very good showing.
What has been the greatest feat fn
the batting line was accomplished by
Catcher Madden In the pal two days
He has not been working regularly ail ,
week and the several days' rest evident
ly sharpened tils batting eye. Anyhow,
lie pulled off six hits, one a double,
eight times up. This boosts his record
for the home stand to .316, making him
the leader of the regulars, Little Jack
Graney late of Cleveland, has endeared
himself to the fans by rapping out
seven timely hits In 20 times up Yes
terday he plaved field, and got a pinch
hit that landed two men. Hud Graney
not cut first base Friday he would have
received credit for that pretty three
bagger into right center. As It Is his
average Is .350.
Bassey has shown great Improvement
nd It looks as though the little marquis
had come back. The first of the season
he hit In great form, but slumped badly
toward the middle of June. Howeve
he has picked up this week and slanime
out six hits in the five games he hn
played. His fielding and base runnln
have picked up, too.
Dangig and Ryan hit the toboggan
tots ween. Ha be has hit sareiv bu
once, while Ryan has not connecte
safely for a solitary blngle. However
both were blngllng consistently before
and the slump has not carried them
very low.
The batting and fielding averages for

While They Suffer Fatal Wounds.
In three weeks the most comprehen
sive harness race season ever held In
the northwest will be Inaugurated at
Eeillngham, Wash., and will reach Its
highest point of excellence here In Port
land during the week of September 21
26. Previous meets will be held at Bel
llnghnm, Everett, Seattle and Salem
and all contenders will be brought down
to the last notch of training excellence
by that time.
The eight cities In which race meets
will take place will distribute more
than J100.000 in purses. Portland stand
ing nt the head of the list with 120,000
offered In the early and the late clos
ing events. Spokane and Salem will
hang up close to the same amount In
each case and the other five cities will
divide the balance among themselves.
This is the first time In ttie history
of the northwest In which all com
munities where racing stock Is devel
oped will take part In the forthcoming
north Pacific circuit, and some of (!:.
notable performers In the countrv wil!
compete for the fancy stakes offered.

Elgin, 111.. Aug. lThe full atrocity
of the fatal shooting early today of
Dell Morrill, a wealthy farmer, and
Mrs. Mary Balcolm, hla housekeeper, by
John Larson, a discharged employe, and
the subsequent suicide of Larson, was
not known until tonight, when Morrill
revived enough to tell the terrible story.
He revealed the raci mat arter t.ar
on had entered the Morrill home and
fatally woundod both Morrill and Mrs.
Balcolm, ho forced his victims to sit
In upright chairs at the end oi nis
loaded shotgun for four hours, constant
ly threatening them and putting the
muzzle Of lila weapon against their
heads.
All during their ordeal Larson carried
on a running fire of comment, calling
the attention of hla victims to their
gaping wounds and forcing them by
threats to talk. Then, with a grim jest,
he put the muizle of his shotgun to
his head and blew the top of It off.
During the dreary hours whilo Mor
rill and Mrs. Balcolm were at the mercy
of the drlnk-crused man. Morrill's age. I
mother, l0 years old and blind, sat in
the room with them In an agony of
fear, her sightless eyes taking In noth
ing, and she knowing nothing of the
horrible tragedy that was being en
acted, save by her serine of hearing
Whenever she tried to grope for th
door to summon assistance the mad
dened slayer threatened her with hi
shotgun and she was compelled to hit
still and listen for hours until Larson's
gun announced that the madman had
ended his life. Then she groped h r
iur a vjunnrr or a miie, summoned
aid and collapsed. It is feared she will
die.
Morrill and Mrs. Balcolm cannot re
cover. Both received the oontents of
both barrels of Larson's shotgun and
were horribly mangled.
The coroner this evening held an In
quest over Larson's body, witness
testifying that the man u mentally
unbalanced from drink. The Jury re
turned a verdict of suicide, without
making further comment.

Hot Springs, Va Aug. l.The fol
lowing exchange of cablegrams between
Governor Magoon of Cuba and Mr. Tnft
relative to the Cuban elections was
made public tonight:
"Hon. William H. Taft: Provincial
and municipal elections held through
out Cuba today. There were elected six
governors, 48 provincial councllmen, fc
munlclpal mayors and 1,248 municipal
councllmen: In the citv of Havana the
vote Is slightly Ut excess of 60 per cent
of the registration. Indications are that
the vote In the province will be larger.
But as registration was enforced per
centage compares favorably with votes
cast at elections In the United States.
Perfect order amounting to absolute
transtiulllty has prevailed throughout
the Island. Unlv civil authorities were
utilized in preserving peace. Ths cam
paign has been active and conducted as
though it were a national election In
practically all municipalities. Each of
the national parties had tickets In ths
field and In some towns Independent
tickets were on the ballot. The new
law under Which the election was held
has proven successful. The orderly man
ner In which the election has proceeded
and the vote cast should remove all
doubt as to the successful outcome of
the next one and the ability and deslrs
of the Cuban people to hold fair and
peaceful elections.
(Signed) "MAOOON."
"Hot Springs, Va., Aug. 1. To Ma
goon, Havana: I congratulate ths peo
ple of Havana on the auocessful. opera
tion of the new election laws. It Indi
cates a successful outcome In ths presi
dential election to follow a deslrs upon
the part of the people to havs lawful and
just elections. It Insures ths turning
over of ths government as directed by
President Roosevelt an-a is an evidence
that the people are determined to make
permanent their government, dependent

"Please accept for yourself mr per
