SOCIALISTS SWEEP COUNTY. FAIR AND COOLER. THE OFFICIAL CQIKIT MAIL VOTE MAKES NO VITAL CHANGES COMMISSIONERS MET TODAY TO CANVASS THE VOTE. ROAD TO HIGHLAND CEMETERY OFFERED JOHN NELSON PUTS NEW ROAD WITHIN REACH OF OTTAWA. U.

S. SHIPS TO THE SCENE JF THE WAR TWO CRUISERS ORDERED TO TURKISH WATERS TODAY. Right of Way to Cost Nothing from Main to Cemetery Along Fifteenth and a Reasonable Offer for the Building of Concrete Bridge. There, is a solution at hand for the proposed new roadway' to Highland Cemeterj-. It seems a plausible one andvnot only the most accessible but the cheapest for the citizens of Ottawa and the lot holders in Highland who may care to aid in this movement.

1 Since the people of Ottawa have seen the advantages of the Hope Cemetery rock road, they have been anxioQs, especially those who have relatives in Highland Cemetery, to put in a like roadway to Highland. The "lay of the land" has been one drawback and a bridge across Rock Creek another. By an. offer that has just been made by John Nelson, these obstacles can be overcome in a satisfactory manner. John Nelson recently purchased forty acres of ground at the southeast corner of Fifteenth and Main streets Fifteenth street, if cut straight through to the east, would extend directly into the east and west road oa which is the main entrance into Highland Cemetery.

This is the road which would be the most advantageous to everyone, were it net for the ne cessity 'of building a bridge over Rock Creek. Mr; Nelson's offer places this within the grasp of Ottawa. "I have offered the men who are most interested in the building cf a new road ta Highland," said Mr. Ne! son today, "half of the roadway along 1 the ground I have bought and I am confident that the other half of the roadway will not cost them anything, either. Besides this I offered, as our rock crusher is on the ground and the rock is there also, to build a steel re inforced concrete bridge over Rock Creek and a fill at the west approach to it, for $2,500 which is a lower price than they have been able to figure on it betore.

I do this because, for one reason, it will benefit my proper ty. That is the only business interest I have in it and that is a legitimate one surely. If the city or the county or the men interested in want to take advantage of that offer it jRin oenent a great many otner peo-Ifkle as (. Not Mucch Change in the Weather is Predicted.

CAFFEIT CROWDS THE RAILING LOOKS LIKE HE HAD COME UNDER THE WIRE FIRST. Everybody's Claiming It Now The Figures frcm Several Counties Vary and theOdds Are in Favor of Capper in' the Tabulated Returns. TV'peka, Nov. 8. The official count will be required to decide the gover norship of Kansas.

The State journal's tabulation gives Hodges Capper, a difference of 504. The Kansas City Star's tabulation gives Capper the lead by C41. Republican Chairman Dolley at 1 o'clock this afternoon placed Capper's lead at 663.

He asserted the mail vote would not overcome this. At noon today both Hodges and Capper still claimed the governorship of Kansas by about 800 majority cutside of the mail vote. The mail vote will not be known before night. At Democratic headquarters it was announced that complete unofficial returns will give Hodges 371 plurality. Members of the Democratic committee asserted that sixty-five per cent of the mail vote would be for Hodges.

George secretary of the Republican Party League, said- last night "Hedges has beaten Capper by about 1,000 upon the returns which I have received. I think that Hodges will break even or better on the absent vote and that the majority for him, which our figures show, will be maintained." At the Democratic state committee headquarters W. H. L. Pepperell said that Hodges is certainly elected.

"There is no question about it," he de- fInrfl "Thp mainritv ti-U1 run arnnnH 2,000." We expect the absent vote to: be anywhere from 3-000 to 5,000, but of that we believe Hodges will get at least 60 per cent and maintain and increase the majority which our figures now show for him." Capper is Arthur Capper, Republican candidate for governor, declares that he feels sure of his election. "I now have a majority from verified returns I have received from all counties in the state," said Mr. Capper, "which give me a majority of 665. I expect that the absent vote will run up to over 3,000 and probably to 4,000. Of that I look for more than half, and I feel that I am elected." Each headquarters has a set of returns, and the figures of all three lists Only agree in three counties.

Sme of the others are not very far apart, while some are very greatly at variance. PLAY LAWRENCE TODAY. Ottawa High School Football Team on the Gridiron This Afternoon. The Ottawa High School football team left this morning for Lawrence to play the Lawrence team. Professors R.

8. The Greek army, commanded by the Crown Prince, Constantlne, has occupied Salonika. London, Nov. 7. "We will sing a Te Deum of Thanksgiving In tho Mcsque of St.

Sophia next Sunday," boasted leaders -of the conquering army of Bulgaria today before tho 'ast Turkish line between them and the city of Constantinople. Of the great European empire conquered by the Mohammedan Invaders centuries ago, there remained Unlay only five small districts. Even these Constantinople, Adrlanople, Saloniki, Monastir and Scutar are threatened. It is believed that a last big battle is in progress between the defenders and the Invaders at the Tchatalja forts before the capital, It is reported that the great stronghold of Su-3onikI has been evacuated and that the Turkish army statl'ied in tho city has been withdrawn, no confirmation of this has yet been received. Monastir also, where Fethl-Pasha had a large Turkish army, is said to have been occupied by the allied Balkan trotps.

Between the Bulgarian army and Constantinople now stand only tho Tchatalja forts held by an army that has suffered a series of crushing defeats. The Turkish fortress of Scutari, near the Montenegrin frontier, and that of Adrianople in the eastern sphere of operations, are still making a stubborn resistance. Line Kept Open. The defenders of Scutari, too, havo repeatedly and successfully assumed the offensive, and have managed to keep the line open by which they can supply Tarakosch, the other Turkish fortress on Lake Scutari, with provisions and ammunition. The antagonism of the Maliaaorl tribesmen to the Montenegrins is said to have checked Crown Prince Dn-Ilo's army which has made several attacks In Tarakosch.

Preparations are being made for the protection of the menaced population of Constantinople. At the request of the foreign ambassadors entrenchments have been thrown up at San Stefano and at Kfatkane, that if the rout that occurred after previous battles should be repeated, tho mcb of fleeing soldiers tan be checked. Should matters become more threatening the fleets of tho powers may force the Dardanelles, In which case there would be men available for landing with possible reinforcements frcm the Russian licet in tho black sea. TRAIN ROBBERSGET $40,000 LOUISVILLE NASHVILLE IS THE ROAD HELD UP. Mail Car Rifled of Registered ages by Men Who Held Up the Clerk With Revolvers.

The "whole countryside near whero the robbers escaped has been aroused and I turning out several posse armed and provided with mounts and two bloodhounds. and are' searching through the hills for the bandits. titrw Is tb time to open an amount at tJ.

State Bank cf Ottawa. C. J. Vincent and John HaLoren ,3 committee from the Commercial Club uho have been working quietly on-the I.Ians for a new road for a long time, iuive gone over this ground thoroughly. They at first concluded it was the ideal way if the expense cf buy iug the right of way could' be boine.

They then recommended the building of a rock road from the vicinity of Ottawa University over the road thai used at present to the cem.ery But the fact that the Rock Creek bridge has often been flooded, nkeg Ibis proposal a poor one. Mr. Vincent and Mr. Hal'oren are now consi.l ering.Mr. Nelson's offer.

Mr. Nelson, said today that he would also be willing to make a bid on the furnishing of the crushed rock for a rock road if the commercial club or the city should care to make this road as socn as the bridge is built. He expressed the opinion that his bid for rock road work would be low. The rock and the crusher are on the ground. The commercial club began to raise pledges for building a rock road to Highland soon after the Hope Cemetery road was compjeted.

They received pledges ef more than half enough to build the bridge and the fill, according to Mr. Nelson's specifications. The Nelson offer should bring the roadway and the bridge al: within the reach of the funds provided the roadway will cost nothing. Now that the principal obstacle, the expense of the right of way, has been removed it should not be a hard matter for the citizens and perhaps the county. to get together in the hepes of putting a good, high and dry roadway to Highland Cemetery and the south east.

The frequency with which the road to Highland is used, and the constant poor condition of the dirt portion of Main street from the end of the paving south to the turn In Main street, makes a rock road a very advisable piece of improvement providing some reasonable price can be settled upon for the work. This price appears to be at hand in the offer of Mr. Nelson. A REALLY CLOSE VOTE, received word. from his father J.

M. Pleasant of Burlington this morning stating that the elder Pleasant had, won the election for county attorney by a plurality of one vote and that it would take' the mailed vote and possibly the recount to decide the election.
