Complaint comes to the Mist from a reliable source that Portland hunters on the Johnson lakes, near SeapMose, left seventy ducks piled in a heap on the ground after a recent day's hunt ing. Tliev shot that many more than the lawful limit, and, being afraid to take them to Portland, left them to rot. Huch a useless slaughter of game fowl de-nerves punishment, and calls for the attention of the game warden. The feature of the law that prevents the sale of ducks should be repealed. It was parsed in the interest of the Portland "sports," and is. of doubtful constitu tionality. It decreases the value of the lakes and prevents the hunter of small means from reimbursing himself in part: for bis outlay. If it is to be continued the limit to be killed should be reduced to ten. as no one has any use for more than that number except to give away, and if those who are not so fortunate" as to have hunter friends can not purchase duek, then the hunt ers should be limited tthe amount ae tuallv consumed by themselves and families.

IIAED FIGHT ; HI QUAKES CITY Durham Machine Hides Behind Name of ''Bosnlar Republicans'' Mayor Wearer Leads Antis. Moral L Issues Figure Prominently in Many Eastern Elections and War Is Waged on Intrenched Corruption- Democrats Charge Graft and Bossism. COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 6. The polit ical campaign which closed today has been one of the : most interesting .and exciting the Buckeye state has wit nessed in years. The elect ion Ltouior row is for a governor ami other state officers. While the issues involved may fce said to be almost wholly local in character, the fight has attracted at tention throughout the country, for the chief reason that those taking part in he fight are mostly men of national prominence.. John M. Mattison, the Democratic candidate for governor, has been crowd ing Governor Myron T. llerrick, who is up for re-election, ever since the first gun of the campaign was fired. llerrick s troubles have been due mainly to the fact "that he has offended most of the temperance forces and oth er organizations in Obio that are in terested in the moral uplift of things. The principal issue raised in the right againist the governor was bis action in the Brannock law, a temperance meas ure, providing for local option in resi dential districts in cities. Ohio now has a township local option law under which 1000 out of nearly 1400 town ships have voted "dry." The state has a city local option law, and under its provisions many of the smaller cities of the state have voted out the open saloon. Under the Brannock law the residence iwjrtion' of eities can now drive out the saloon. The bill was or iginally drawn by the Ohio Anti-Saloon League, an organisation of large mem bership and much influence. Governor llerrick declined to sign the measure 1 until several suggested enanges nu ... . . . , t - i- .i been made in it. The changes appar ently' were not of vital character, but the temperance organizations imme diately turned upon the governor for his alleged unlawful interference in legislation and the fight against him has been kept up without cessation, un the other hand, : the liquor element, which under normal conditions in Ohio is allied with the Democratic party, has turned its support to llerrick and the Republican ticket and thus the align ment of the two forces has become clearly defined. Another issue the Democrats have urged this year with all the force jmm sible i the" charge of graft, corruption and liossism. The charge "of bossism ir. directed against George B. Cox of Cin cinnati and the cry of graft aud cor ruption is dilected to the srjnie quarter. Well posted politicians declare their belief today that llerrick will be re elected, but by a greatly reduced ma jority. The election of the remainder of the I Republican ticket appears as sured, as the fight against llerrick has not extended to the candidates for the minor offices. In Pennsylvania. Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 0.-Of the municipal elections to be held in various cities throughout the country tomorrow that in Philadelphia stands out most prominently. Tho election is only for county officers and ordinarily would be an event of only passing notice. But in reality it is the culmination of the sensational "run in" which Mayor John Weaver bad with the Republican machine this summer and in fact it" is an actual test of the strength of the elements demanding decency and hon esty in the administration of the city government,,, as against the power of intrenched corruption. All party lines have leen effaced in the contest, though the Durham machine, which has looted the city for years, is hiding behind the J . .. .. t t.i: Tl. lame ol "regular icpuiuruun. official name of the anti-gang organiza tion, beaded by Mayor Weaver, is the city party. Both forces have their nom inees in the field. They are running for the offices of sheriff, coroner and two county commissionersbips. . The gang realizes it is a fight tor existence and it has poured money ino the campaign in a way that has sur prised even those best acquainted with its powerful resources and methods of obtaining revenue. The opposition, on the other hand, has likewise waged a fierce fight and has been backed up by all the best element of the city. It has also benefited bv the fact that the Re pubjlicarw of o'ther stat, including cabinet officers and senators, have, stead fastly declined to eomejo Philadelphia to speak in favor of the organization in this city. President Roosevelt has come out ' in open denunciation of the Re publican boss role hero, and his stand has been followed by the prominent party leaders throughout the country. Pennsylvania State Election. Harrlsburg, Ta Nov. o. Not a great f deal of interest U maniretel in io-j morrow oiic v r j vania. The offices to Imj filled are tbse of state" treasurer and ; two judges of the supreme courts There is no contest in regard to the candidates for the su preme bench. This has left the fight, solely between the candidates for state treasurer. The Republican candidate is Lee Plummet and the Democratic candidate William H. Berry. Republi;, can State Chairman Andrews, in a si-aie-ment issued today, declared that Mr. Plnmmer would oc elected by the us:ia! off-year Republican ma joritv,. Demo cratic State Chairman Hail, on the oth er hand, appears confident'of the result. One phase, of the situation that seems peculiar to an outsider is the fact that the fight against the Republican aia; chine in Philadelphia is not expected to cut any figure .in the result of the state election. If this is true, as indi cated, the Republicans will undoubted ly earry the state by about the usual bgures. In Massachusetts. Boston, Mass., Nov. 6. The Massa chusetts campaign closes tonight with speaking in nearly every town of any importance in the stale. " As the Massa chusetts election is the only one to be held tomorrow in ...which anything like national issues are involved the result is naturally- awaited with' much inter est. Unless all signs are mwleadinz the Old Bay state will undoubtedly swing back to a Republican governor. There was not much hope for the Democrats after Governor Douglas had refused to accept a renomination. The Republi can ticket is headed by Curtis Guild, Jr., a clean, wide-awake man with an abundance of financial means. He is now serving his third term as lieuten ant-governor. General Charles W. Bartlett, the Democratic standard bear er, has a clean record, but is uot re garded as a man of any unusual strength. On account of the prominence of the tariff revision issue and the public dis cussion of this subject there -is un usual interest in the contest for lieu tenant-governor. ELen S. Draper, the Republican nominee, was nominated in a convention which neelareu for a re vision of the tariff when representatives of the party in congress deem it advis able. Henry M. Whitney, leader of the reciprocity and tariff revision senti ment in Massachusetts, was nominated for lieutenant-governor on a plank in the Democratic platform, which de clares specifically for free hides, coal, iron ore. lumler and wow I pulp and for speedy tariff legislation. The lines therefore arc sharply drawn. Today Senator Lodge and the other managers declare there is no danger of Republi can defeat. At the same time it is gen erally admitted that the Democrats are fighting hard anil will make a good showing because of their outspoken at titude on the subject of tariff revision, in which the manufacturing industry of Massachusetts is vitallv interested. In Rhode Island. Providence, R. I., Nov. C Rhodo island tomorrow elects a full state ticket from governor to state treas urer. The contest for governor ja of some general . interest because it is a repetition of the fight of last year, when George Jl. Utter defeated Gover nor Lucius V. Garvin for re-election by l.'5."6 votes. The two tickets this year are again headed by the same two lead ers. Garvin, the Democratic nominee. is a prominent advocate of reform and is extremely popular with the people. Only state issues are involved in the contest, one of the most prominent be ing a proposal- to revise the state con stitution. In San Francisco San Francisco, Cal., Nov. li. The nui nicipal election tomorrow is the all absorbing tppic of conversation. The contest here1 is very similar to that in Philadelphia, it is a fight to dethrone the ring of politicians who for years have preyed upon the city. In their effort-to bring this about a complete fusion was effected by the Democratic and Republican municipal conventions anl a joint ticket was nominated. John S. Partridge (Republican) was nomin ated for mayor in opposition to Mayor Sehmitz, the standard bearer of tho Re publican ringsters. Mr. Patridge has made a very effective campaign and his supporters profess to believe that h has more than an even chance of win ning out at the polls tomorrow. COMMERCIAL SECRETARIES. DALLAS, Tex., Nov. 6. The secre taries of tne trade and business organ izations of the chief cities of Texal met in conference here to.iay under th nnspices of the Dallas chamber of com merce. The main purpose is to discuss and agree upon plans for unite.l action in attracting immigration and capital to Texas. . DEDICATION OF NEW THEATRE. GOSHEN, Ind., Nov. 6. Gov. Hanlv and numerous other guests of note have accepted invitations to attend tne opening tonight of Goshen's new $73.- OOO theatre, the Jefferson, the finest playhouse in northern Indiana.

Trapped iq his rooms by the police and fully aware that his last avenue of escape had been barred, .Milton Franklin An drews, the murderer of Bessie Bout on and the man who murderously assault ed and robbed William Ellis, the Aus tralian horseman, at Berkeley in Oc tober, tonight shot and killed Nulda Olivia, his female companion, and then sped a bullet into his own head causing instant death. That Andrews, for whom the police and the entlry country were searching, was fully prepared for tho tragedy that closed his career, is shown by the fact that be acted witnout a moment's hesitation. Having learned . that Andrews and Nulda Olivia were living in an upper flat at 74S MeAHister street, the polico department tonight sent a detail of two policemen and two detectives to make the arrest. Although certain the persons wanted were in a two-room apartment, the officers received no an swer after repeated knocking at the doorJ At the moment one of the offi cers T)rok? on the door, Andrews fired a shot ending the career of his compan ion.

The revolver was a 4.-calibre and but two of the cartridges had been fired. Denies Murder Charge. On -searching Andrews' remains $130 in gold and an English sovereign was found, all the money remaining of the $5000 of which Ellis was robbed. Con siderable jewelry was also found on him. A rambling typewritten statement presumably written by Andrews, who denied murdering Bessie Mouton, was found in one of the dead woman's stockings. Andrews and his companion had been living at the McAllister street house for three weeks. Tho landloard stated he believed only the woman occupied the apartments as the man had never leen seen. The olice lelieve the cou ple has pursued the same hiding tactics here as elsewhere, Andrews remaining indoors and the woman making the ne cessary purchases. Andrews Identified. From photographs of Andrews obtain ed after his attempt on Ellis life, An drews was positively identified as the friend of Bessie Bouton of Syracuse, N. .Y., who was murdered in Cutler's Canyon, Colorado Spring, ten months ago. The man was then known as Mil ton Franklin and bad the alias of Wib liam Curtis., Bessie Bouton was murdered and lat er clothing on the body saturated with benzine ami ignited. When the remains were found they! were so badly muti lated that only ft wo gold filled teeth served to identify the victim. Rewards aggregating 2.")0 had been offered for the arrest of Andrews. MRS.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 6. The federal grand jury which convened in St. Louis today will, take up the case of iiss Dixie Tuttle, the Andrian county young woman whose :' arrest for sending ob scene letters through tbe mails has at tracted widespread attention. Miss Tuttle, who is the respected daughter of a prominent farmer, was arrested in September on a charge of sending "anonymous, slanderous letters through the mails." The missive were said to attack venomously the characters of many prominent eople of the town and county. After investigation had caused suspicion against Miss' Tuttle, a post office insjMH-tor called ather home and ouestioned her. She vehemently denied any part in the. writing of the letters. The case was soon after placed in the hands of United States District Attor ney Dyer of St. Louis. The most care ful surveillance failed to locate the sender of the letters. Mail foxes were watched without avail, and decoy let letrs produced no direct evidence. Even tually, however, suspicion was narrowed down to few young women, one of whom was Miss Tuttle. The postmaster was called on to help, to the extent ol selling these suspected young women such stamp as were carefully, but in conspicuously, marked with different designs. Stamps Injuring one of these marks were wdd-to' Miss Tuttle; and when .next complaint of objectionable letters was made, the stamp were ex amined. It was declared that they were the ones sold to. Miss Tuttle, the charge against her was made and the arrest followed. MODJESKA'S FAREWELL TOUR. HARRISBURG, Pa. Nov. 0 The fare well tour of the celebrate.! tragedienne Mm.

Managers of Three Mayoralty Candi dates Each Declares Himself Con fident of Victory Owing to Uncer tainty Betting Is tighter than UsuaL NEW YORK, Nov. 6. An almost un precedented degree of uncertainty re garding the result of the final conflict at the polls tomorrow marks the t-los-t of what in many respects 11 the most interesting political rampaigu ever waged in the city of New York. Wheth er MeClellan. Hearst or Ivins be chosen to rule the destinies of rthe metropolis for the next four years presents a problem,! which in the .face of '.condi tions absolutely unique, baf lies the kill of even the most cxjcricni-cd forc-.ist-ers of election results. This is due to the complications arising through tin. apcaraucc in the field of a new ele ment represented by the municipal' re form' ownership league, which is under the leadership of Hearst, and has ear ned on a campaign extraordinarily vig orous, r - ' . . Tonight the managers of the three mayoralty candidates declare them selves absolutely assured of victory to morrow. Betting on the result, owing toJthe uncertainty, is considerably less thin in former years. In Wall street tlfis afternoon the odds ended 2 to I on McClellan, J to 0 on Ivins and 1 to on Hearst. The odds on the election of' Jerome are about the same as those on Mc Clellan. SUSPECTS ARRAIGNED IN COURT. NEW YORK. Nov. 6.
