Nearing the Close of Second Contest—sß7l.2o Now on Hand on This Ac
count-lt Will Go Considerably Over SI,OOO.
Th" missing won! contest that closes
March Ist, is a center of interest among
our subscribers and agents. Agreeably to
tho rub s published els where. we are to
make an announcement each week during
February of the amount of the premium
! sum that is up to each date to bo given to
I tint successful gitcsser. or divided among
' the uoi essful gm s- , rs. as the case rn iv
I bo. This premium sum is to bo 10 percent
of tho amount of money we receive for
j subscription from those entering the miss
■ ing word contest Beginning January Ist.
we have k* pt an accurate account of this
percentage, on each day we have entered
all the guesses received and noted the
amount placed to the cr.slit of tho guess
ers. Up to tho pr. < :it date this foots up
5871.20.
Turning tho missing word contest that
cb.-.d January Ist. a similar account and
publication was made • ich week, and on
Jmember 21st we had to the credit of tho
pue-sers only
5536.20.
However, this fund gr>-w during tho last

or S»S7 "" in one week, and on Janu
ary 2d wo paid out to Mr. M.
I. Britt.on the sum of $1,033.50. Taking
tb . e•■mnari-on, which is the only one wo
• in make, we find that for a similar period
( th;- contest promises to end with about
sl.l<'‘. and perhaps considerably more.
Our guarantee that we will pay out
at least SSOO Is already made good
... i.rly twice over and we will pay out
just as much as the 10 per cent will
amount to.

HANNA WILL GET <

Their Bitter Doses.
THE GOVERNOR'S EACKDOWN
Cox's Defection in Cincinnati Followed !
in Other Parts of the State.
GOOD OF THE PARTY DEMANDS IT
I Chief Executive li ’g .aid Aside His
ft rpirA..juris co Seat, and;
Wants to Succeed Himself.
Washington, February 20.—(Spec’al.)—
Governor Bushnell is going to upl-o lit
Hanna senator. He cannot stand tho
pressure. Hitter as is the dose to him and
to Foraker, he has determined to take it.
This information com.-s to me from one
of the most prominent republican poli
ticians in Ohio, a rnan who Is very close
to Bushnell himself and to Forak-r. Ho
writes me from Columbus that w-her.-as
everything looked unfavorable for Hanna
up to this week, there is now every reason
to believe that w hat has taken pl teo in
<*in innati and what is taking place nil
uv. r the state has brought Governor Bush
nell to final d.-ternilnation that he must
appoint the man from Cl. velairl.
The t'ox def.-.-tion in Cincinnati has been
followed by similar declarations from re
| publican leaders in all parts of the state.
Men who have heretofore been counted ns
solidly with the Foraker wing and who,
1. n days ago, were exhibiting ghoulish
glee at the prospect of Hanna's throw-
I down have switched entirely over and are
I n.-w putting up the loudest kind of “har-
I niony” talk.
I Tills c'jnsl.-.ts principally in declaring
supplied by one or more of our subscri
bers and agents.
Read it again: “Supply and de
mand are as intimately —as
cause and effect.”
We give every one an opportunity to
etit.-r tho contest under the terms. Tho
mere fact that you are now a subscriber
does not entitle you to guess. The con
dition precedent for making a guess is
that each and ( very guess must be accom
panied by a year’s subscription to Tho
Weekly Constitution. No forgetting it. or
leaving it out by accident, or otherwise, or
not knowing of tho guess nt the time you
subscribe or any other reason will entitle
one to send a guess afterwards. The
guess must come with the subscription, In
the identical envelope that brings the
money that pays for the subscription un
der whi li it is claimed. Old subscribers
may take advantage of this offer and have
their subscriptions renewed from tho ex
piration of the present one. Wo allow any
on., a guess witii every yearly subscription
sent in, and the more you send the more
guesses you can make, and tho more
chances you will have to name tho correct
missing word. You may guess the same
word over again, if you like, or you may
select a different word every time you se
cure a guess. The money will be paid out
to the successful guess or guesses. For
Instance, should the prize sum reach
and you should have made three
correct guesses with three subscriptions
sent by you. and some other man should
have made one correct guess, making four
correct guesses in all. the one sending in
tho three correct guesses would receive
sl.sin of the money, and the other party
would receive SSOO.
This is the last week in which you can
gu-ss, and every letter bringing subseup
Huis to enter the contest must bear the
February postmark and be in our cttlce
March Ist. Wo will make the announce-

that Governor Bushnell must look to tho
good of the party and that party good de
mands the appointment of Hanna. They
are new* covering th. ir termer tracks l-y
declaring that all cf the anti-llann i talk
ami all of tho talk of strife has come fr-m
democratic sources. Foraker’s latest in
terview is very much of a ba. kdown from
the position lie iris .-xpress.sj to his friends.
The fact is they are all of them trying
to make Bushnell's humiliating ba>rkdywn
I as easy as possible.
! Foraker d.-.-l res that Bushnell will boa
1 candidate for i tion ns governor,
J which mo.ii that lie has definitely put
j aside his senatorial ambition.
: it means another big victory for Hanna.
OHL.
RHODES TO SPRING SENSATION
IT IS SAID HE WILL RING IN
SOME NEW FACTS.
Statement Is Made That He Will
Expose the Kaiser as an
Intriguer.
London. February (Sun Copyrighted
Letter )-The committee of the house of
commons appointed to inquire into Jame
son's filibustering raid into the South Afri
can republic, which has held two sittings
this we.-k, d.-vot. d both to the examination
of the lit Holl. C.-ell Rhodes, the man who
pulhsl the strings from a safe distance.
So far Mr. Rhodes’s examination has been
conducted by the liberal members of the
commit tee. and nothing particularly new <
or sensational has transpired.
Th- sensation will com., wh.ni bis friends, i
tho Tory tm mbers of the committee, .
i liegin to cross-.-x.-imino him and as- I
! ford him n nl.-ii>slbl<- pretext for dlvul.'i .?
the particulars of the allege 1 anti-Briti*li ,
intrigues carried on at Pretoria by Fng- '
land's good friend rind uueen Victiriisj
grandson. Kais -r Wilhelm. |
Whether Mr. Rhodes has anything more'
substantial to go upon than rumor and sus-
ment of the earliest possible data after
tho closo of the contest.
It is to everybody’s Interest to guess; tho
more guesses tho more the 10 per eent will
amount to, and the more money there will
be to pay out as a premium. Try it. You
might strike the word, and if you did so,
and no one else should be so fortunate,
you would got 10 cents on every dollar re
ceived by us for subscriptions under this
offer, and everybody would be dropping
dimes In the till for your benefit. If you
should not hit it, your dime would help out
the man who does get it. We hope the
prize sum will be divided tin; wo want to
see it scattered, and It must he sent every- I
where, but this can bo done only by hav
ing the correct word named by persons in
various sections. You take the chance for
your locality, and some one else will try
In his community, and some may fail and
some may strike. But the word is simple,
even easier, if possible, than the one for
January Ist; the sentence is plain; its
meaning it not twisted in tho least to
bring in some irrelevant word. Take a
common-sense construction of the sentence
ami till in the gap with such word as
seems to carry out the idea perfectly, and
you may hit it. you cannot miss it far,
you may get the money. We will publish
each week how the fund has grown. Wo
hopo we may announce next Monday that
It is double its present sum. we will give
the exact figures, and our books are open
to show the care and fairness of every
feature of the contest. Read tho terms,
read the sentence, send in your subscrip
tion or subscriptions with your guess, and
on Mareji Ist look out for your cheek.
Lightning may strike you as well as any
one else.

Key West. Fla.. February 21.—Rumors
have prevailed all day here that something

While it revealed no actual trae. -of f , il

It is reported that he and Sparrish otll.- als

SNOW SLIDES CAUSE DEATHS.
Railroad Station and Houses Swept
Away and Two Lives Are Lost
Denver. Col., February 21.—Snow slides
have wrought much damage and at least
two lives were lost in the past twenty
four hours.
James Petty was carried over a preci

the burros being killed and himself only
slightly injured.
A snow slide caught the cabin of the
Cleopatra mine, near Pitkin, killing Mar
tin Mertley and injuring his three part
ners. Mertley’s relatives live in Pennsyl
vania.
At Ophir, Col., a snow slide demolished
the railroad station and twelve freight

tn, the building at the time, eating dinner.
Timbers fell in such a shape that the man
was but slightly hurt and his wife did not
receive a single bruise. .
