A CHANCE FOR A FORTUNE.

$15,000 to be Given Away—Journal Subscribers to Participate In Distribution. We desire to call the attention of our readers to the advertisement in this issue headed “$15,000 in cash to be given away.” This is a perfectly legitimate scheme and has been passed upon favorably by the postal department. The largest prize is $5,000 in cash and will be awarded to the one making the nearest correct estimate of the vote of Ohio, Massachusetts and lowa at the coming November election. This is the same scheme that is being used by the Chicago Inter Ocean and other papers and our subscribers will have the same chance to secure a prize as the readers of the Inter Ocean or any other paper in the contest. For every dollar paid in on subscription one guess will be given. Make your guesses early, and you will stand a chance to secure one of the special prizes of SI,OOO, S7OO or SSOO. The names of the successful guessers will be published after the official vote is known.
