The returns received up to 8 a.m. today indicated that Taft will have at least 289 electoral votes, and as the details came in with increasing fullness from the West, it began to look as if that figure might reach the 325 mark, claimed, as assured to him in the anti-election forecast of Chairman Hitchcock, or possibly even the approximate 336 achieved in 1904 by Roosevelt. The number necessary to a choice is 242. With 31 United States senators to be elected by the legislatures chosen yesterday or earlier in the fall, and in the light of results in the several States, so far as known early today, the Republicans retain their control of both houses of congress, the precise figures being subject to change as the final returns arrive. Bryan's chief strength seems to be in the Middle West. The only eastern state about which there seems to be doubt at the opening of today's tidings, is Maryland. West Virginia is also in doubt, with the probabilities favoring Taft. If Maryland and West Virginia WHOLE REPUBLICA ACLEANS KANAWH Buried beneath an avalanche of ballots was the Democratic party in Kanawha county. There is not a scintilla of doubt that Judge Taft, Wm. E. Glasscock and the whole Republican ticket swept the county by pluralities ranging from 1,000 to 1,800. Accurate returns made by telephone and in person by election officials and workers show that the county ticket has won by a big plurality in spite of the bitter fight waged by the Democrats. Without the use of a cent to debauch the ballot or wrongfully influence the voter, the Republicans by heroic efforts effectually stopped the Democratic ring and carried eight of the ten districts in the county, losing probably Maiden district by 90 orm when emedi should both turn out to be Bryan states, Taft would still have 281 electoral votes. On the other hand, of the states which at the outset of the day were generally placed in the Bryan column, several were subject to counter-claims, meager dispatches leaving doubt as to Colorado, Montana, and Nebraska. The trend of the news indicated, however, that all these states, especially Nebraska, would go to Bryan. On the basis of the facts known at 8 o'clock this morning, the states carried by Taft are as follows: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. The electoral votes of these states total 291. The other states, except Maryland and West Virginia, which are in doubt, if put-in the Bryan column with the state he carried, would total 177 electoral votes. (Continued on Page Five.) REPUBLI NS MADE SWEEP IN HA COUNTY and Union by 100 on the county ticket. Union district was never carried in the history of the county except by Roosevelt four years ago. The Democrats estimate the plurality in that district by 1000, while some of the Republican workers are inclined to the belief that the Democratic plurality has not exceeded 25. S. P. Smith has defeated Sam Stephenson for sheriff. The fight between Stephenson and Smith was the hottest in the battle. Stephenson is an untiring worker and with large influence and the Democratic leaders behind him fought hard for victory, but was overcome by the masterful organization perfected by the Republicans. rece... the indict had gone WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT PRESIDENT-ELECT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FALL RIGHT ON THE CASE. 14 JUNE 1914 At 1 o'clock today, Judge Grant P. Hall, issued a conservative estimate of what he believed would be the plurality of Smith, who it is considered would have the lowest plurality on the ticket. Cutting some of the estimates in the statement to a much smaller figure than those reported from the districts, the statement shows the following majorities in the ten districts: Rep. Dem. Big Sandy 223 Cabin Creek 150 Charleston 70 Elk 200 Jefferson 47 Malden 60 Poca 300 Loudon 45 Union 100 Washington 150 Other experienced politicians agree with Judge Hall, but some believe the plurality will be larger for Smith while others feel that it may be as low as 800. It is estimated that Judge Taft has carried the country over Bryan by 1500 to 1800 and Congressman Galanes is not far behind him, each getting a large business vote. Glasscock will probably have 1200 to 1500 majority in the county. L. C. Massey; for county clerk will have 1200 over Ham Morris. Capt. Avis will have 1100 over Barnhart. Judge H. K. Black will have a plurality of 1400 over Judge MacCorkle. Ad Shepherd will beat Dave Taylor by 1250 and Dr. Malcolm takes the measure of James Johnson by 1400. By Thursday it is expected that a sufficient number of complete returns will have been received to secure some definite figures on the result in the county. Many of the election officials are arriving in the city this afternoon with their reports of the vote cast at their precincts. From the returns received at midnight it was believed that the majorities on the county ticket would range from 800 to 2,000. Reports from Big Sandy were to the effect that that district had given the Republican ticket a majority of 250; Elk, 350, and Washington, 300. A report from Eskdale, on Cabin Creek, where the mine of the Tolley-Stephenson Coal Company is located says that the Republicans carried that precinct by 25 votes. The first complete return received was from the Court House precinct, in the fourth Ward, of the city of Charleston, and this was followed later by Garnett School House and Martin's School House, the latter precinct being out of the city, but in Charleston district. The returns from those precincts were as follows: Court House—Taft, 145; Bryan, 154; Gaines, 135; Price, 162; Glasscock, 135; Bennett, 165; England, 137; Lilly, 162; Colcord, 135; Harless, 136; Good, 136; Thayer, 137; Nugent, 135; Older, 164; Kuntz, 164; Price, 164; Farry, 164; Koontz, 163; Massey, 135; Morris, 164; Black, 172; MacCorkle, 162; Mottesheard, 134; Oxley, 163; Avls, 123; Barnhart, 166; Smith, 131; Stephenson, 138; Shepherd, 134; Malcolm, 132; Taylor, 165; Johnson, 167; Copenhaver, 136; Burks, 163; Barron, 135; Pearson, 164.

While Chairman G. I. Neal, of the Democratic State committee, conceded early this morning that Taft would carry the State, he claimed Bennett was elected by 10,000. Chairman S. V. Matthews, of the Republican State committee, telephoned to the capitol! this morning, that Glasscock was elected by 18,000 to 22,000. Governor White also sent a message that Glasscock was elected and placed his plurality at 15,000 to 20,000. Governor White knows the State, probably better than any other politician in the State, and his statements usually reflect accuracy and can be depended upon. Secretary of State Swisher also says Glasscock will be elected by 15,000 to 20,000, and his statement is based on returns received from the several counties of the State. There has been some surprises in the State for both AWHA C DEMOCRACY DOWN UN AND FA Glasscock, 172; Bennett, 72; Massey, 168; Morris, 72; Black, 177; MacCorkle, 62; Mottesheard, 175; Oxley, 65; Avis, 170; Barnhart, 70; Smith, 170; Stephenson, 73; Shepherd, 172; Malcolm, 174; Taylor, 70; Johnson, 69; Copenhaver, 175; Burks, 69; Barron, 174; Pearson, 69.

Marion county is gone for Taft, is a standout the gubernatorial race and is elected a Democratic county ticket. Harrison county is so reported to have elected Democratic county ticket. Sumers county has elected the whole Republican county ticket. The race for prosecuting attorney is very close, but it believed that the Republican candidate will win. Bennard secured a small plurality in Summers. Owing to the new ballot being used at the election for the first time, the compilation of returns has been very clear and tedious. At 8 o'clock this morning some precincts had not finished tabulating the vote. For this reason no figures can be given on the local lature, but from the return of the national and state latures it is estimated that the lower house is safely Republican and will work in harmony with the new state officers. There is no doubt about the state senate. It is overwhelmingly Republican. The defeat of Cree, in the First district, is offset by the election of Sutherland in the Thirteenth over Post.

Huntington, W. Va. November 3, 1908. In response to the call for the West Virginia Teachers' Association, November 26-28, we have already received letters from principals and prominent teachers over the State, approving the suggestions which it contained and promising to do whatever they can to swell the attendance at Bluefield. We have endeavored to reach every individual teacher in the State, as we believe every teacher who attends that meeting can either help or be helped. The program. I am sure, will have no breaks, as no one who has been placed on it has declined. The range it will be remembered that he took our school needs. The ten topics that are to be handled are: "Primary Arithmetic," "Reaching the Idle," "Expression in Primary Schools," "What Encouragement Should Be Given Higher Education." "The Elementary Schools and the New School Law," "Physical Training Essential to Mental Development," "What Industries and How They May Be Taught in the Public Schools." "Reading in the Public School." "The Public Schools as a Sociological Factor," and "The Relation of the Home and the School." This list of topics is published not only to show the character of the program, but to enable each teacher not on the program to be in a position to contribute to the free discussion of the various subjects. In addition to these exercises to be participated in by our own teachers, we are glad to announce that we have in store an unusual treat. By special arrangement we have succeeded in securing one speaker from out of the State, and we have all but completed arrangements for a second speaker. Prof. Wm. Pickens. Professor of Languages, Talladega College, of Alabama, has already been secured. His address before the National Teachers' Association at Louisville, Ky., in June, received the greatest ovation of all the speeches made before that body. He is one of the very best representatives of the young educated Negro. It will be remembered tait he took the prize in oratory when a student at Yale University. The other speaker will doubtless be a gentleman who has been a leading figure in the movement of building up the rural schools in Virginia for several years. We feel certain that this meeting is going to be the most profitable and inspiring one. We again urge upon every teacher to attend. Inadvertently the date suggested for Parents' Day was made the 22nd, instead of the 24th, and we take this means of correcting the mistake. Very sincerely, J. W. SCOTT, President. MISS M. B. J. JONES, Sec'y. Forced to Unload 50c Underwear 39c THE HUB. FALSE SPIRITUALIST DUPES ALL DRESDEN Dresden, Saxony, Nov 3.—The highly intellectual citizens of this capital delight to call it the Athens of the Elbe. Nevertheless, Dresden is known all over Germany as the abode of an extraordinary number of faddists, spiritualists, theosophists, telepathists—all the ists. And as if to prove how narrow is the line between wisdom and folly and that the brainy people of Dresden are easily duped, a spiritualist medium, Herr Bergmann, was arrested the other day charged with swindling his confiding followers out of no less a sum than $161,000. Bergmann, at one time manager of a porcelain factory, turned his acute mind to affairs less earthly and summoned from the vast deep a spirit, "Herr Dr. Bombastus," who knew the secret of "the philosopher's stone," who could transmute the baser metals into gold First the crafty Bergmann had to assemble the credulous clientele to whom he introduced the gold-making Bombastus. So during several years Bergmann got around him a number of women and men, all of considerable means, all well educated, all seeking to lift the impenetrable veil that hides the unknown. As soon as he thought everything was ripe for his undertaking Bergmann announced to his followers that he was about to build a factory where lead, iron and copper would be changed into the precious metal. He collected his dupes at a great seance, and after some mysterious formalities summoned the spirit of Herr Dr. Bombastus—well named—a shade wholly unknown to those present, but which asserted that the new "works" were called after his name, and now was the time to begin the building. The innocents present handed out their thousand-mark notes and Bergmann opened a bank account Every week there was a seance, and at one of them Bergmann informed his dupes that Bombastus was the spirit of a great physician who lived about 500 years ago and knew all about turning ordinary metal into gold. Rich bakers and butchers, tailors and shoe manufacturers in a big way of business joined the fraternity, even several Government officials handed in their names and their thousand marks. Bombastus was summoned nightly and the gist of his communications was "give." And they gave until finally Bergmann has $161,000 in bank, besides a considerable sum with which to begin the "works." He kept all the wires in his own hands, and he and Bombastus and another worthy learned in the stars, who professed to know the exact hour when the corner-stone of the "works" was to be laid, agreed to share the plunder. Besides the scances there were prayer meetings, at which Bergmann, dressed as a "high priest," stood before an elaborate altar and went through various mummies of his own invention. One of the disciples gave him in one sum $100,-000. There were no small contributions, as Bergmann said his "works" must have solid foundations. And now the Saxon police are examining into this gigantic and barefaced fraud, and Dresden citizens are beginning to ask whether their city still deserves the name of "Athens on the Elbe." PROGRESS IN STEEL INDUSTRY. It is customary to look to statistics of tonnage production for the chief evidence that progress is being made in the steel industry, when as a matter of fact the changes in methods of manufacture and in character of output are more striking as evidences of progress. Of course it is an impressive fact that the production of steel has more than doubled in six or seven years, but the mere increase in tonnage does not involve the exercise of much skill or, indeed, of much courage. Ten years ago, in 1898, the production of steel by the open-hearth process was but one-third as great as by the Bessemer process. Last year, the two processes contributed about an equal tonnage, and the combined output was more than two and a half times that of 1898. This year the open-hearth output is clearly passing the Bessemer output and in two years it will be far in the lead. To make the open-hearth process so desirable has required much ability on the part of the designer and the inventor. It has required, also, a much larger capital than would have been needed for expansion of output by means of the Bessemer process, as for similar tonnages the open-hearth plant is much the more expensive to install. Thus the growth in capital invested in steel making has been much greater than the increase in tonnage results. To sum up, one may say that while the output of steel did a little better than triple from 1897 to 1907, while the production of pig iron quadrupled from 1887 to 1907, there has been a much greater increase in the magnitude of the industry, whether measured with the yardstick of value of output, having regard to the degree of finish, or the yardstick of capital invested and men employed in the industries which work up the output of the iron and steel industry proper, and in all these directions the current trend is toward continuing the relatively greater rate of expansion.

DEEP WATERWAYS CONGRESS CALLED Washington, Nov. 3. — The official call for the fifth annual convention of the National Rivers and Harbore Congress has been issued. The congress will meet in Washington, December 9-11, in the New Willard. At the last congress, held here in December, 1907, there were 1,978 properly accredited delegates, and it is expected that the forthcoming convention will prove of even greater importance than the meeting or last year. While the congress is conservative, and hesitates to extend the scope of its influence—the object being to create a sentiment looking to the interests of rivers and harbors projects—another effort will, probably be made by advocates of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway to convert the congress to their way of thinking. Other projects quite as important to their particular supporters will undoubtedly come before the meetings, and much interesting and enlightening debate is promised. Improvements of the waterways of the nation, members of the congress believe, will mean increased and cheapened transportation facilities for the producer and the consumer, and that there is no question before the American people more worthy of their consideration than the proper development and utilization of these natural ennanners of trade. It is pointed out that the platforms of both political parties have indorsed and declared for the improvement of the waterways of the country. This, members of the congress assert, has taken the matter of improving rivers and harbors out of the political field and placed on the roll of business questions which demand solution by the necessary action of Congress. The first two weeks of December will be particularly active for many important conventions, in addition to that of the rivers and harbors congress, which have been scheduled for that time in Washington. The first convention in December, and one of the most important, will begin December 1, when the National Conservation Commission, organized at the direction of the President after the meeting of governors here last spring, meets. President Roosevelt is expected to take a particular interest in the meetings of the commission, and will deliver an address. The commission is divided into four classes. One is a committee of 13, whose special duty is the improvement of streams. Another, also composed of 13 members, is in charge of the preservation if forests. Efforts of the third committee are directed against the waste of land, and the fourth committee has charge of mineral resources. At the present time this committee is devoting its energies toward the more economical mining of coal. Between 1,000 and 1,500 business men from the South will be brought to Washington by the Southern Commercial Congress, which will meet December 11-13. The South is clamoring for river and harbor improvements, and the sessions of this organization promise to develop almost as much discussion along these lines as the national rivers and harbors congress. Preceding these meetings, however, will be that of the Country Life Commission, an adjunct of the conservation congress. Other meetings of unusual importance will be held here in the first weeks of December, and, together with the regular sessions of Congress going on up on Capitol Hill, Washington will have its full share of notable gatherings.

DAWSON When the Mail read the scurrilous article in the Gazette which follows herewith, it was certain that its author was "booked for a good, sound hiding," and it has not been disappointed. It is, therefore; with great pleasure that the Mail gives space to the following communication: COAL COMPANY TRIES COERCION Kelley Creek Company to Fire Men Who Even Talk Politics. Evidence of the most patent attempt at coercion of employees was brought to the attention of the Gazette yesterday from the Kelley Creek Collecry Company at Ward. Notice was posted on the door of the company's store that any employee who even talked politics or argued with another in regard to politics would be dismissed immediately. The notice is signed by the general manager, who is J. W. Dawson, a Hog-Combine worker, and is as follows: Notice "The management of this company is determined that all of its employees shall have the right and the privilege of voting their own sentiments without being interfered with by fellow employees or others. With that in view notice is given in advance that we will dismiss from the service any employee who is known to attempt by argument, persuasion, or money consideration or in any other way on election day to influence the individual person or party, such influence by one party with another simply results in confusion, dissatisfaction and frequently unpleasant personalities. "We shall expect that everybody on this property shall be left absolutely alone to vote." Ward P. O., November 3, 1908 The Editor of the Mall. Charleston, W. Va. Dear Shr: I hand you herewith above clipping from the Charleston Gazette under date of November 3rd, which I am proud of. During the many years of my residence in West Virginia, the Gazette has continued to owl "boodle" and "coercion" on the part of the Republican party, and pretended to favor fair and impartial elections without coercion and boodle. I have always favored that policy, and in line with the aggressive action of the leaders of both parties in this particular election, I was determined, if possible, to prevent any coercion or the use of boodle or influence of any kind at this voting precinct. The Gazette's correspondent harps upon the fact that I objected even to the discussion of politics on election day, which is true. Any man with one grain of sense will know that at a works' as large as these officers, foremen and even influential employees, can coerce other employees more with arguments and intimations than they could with the use of a pint of liquor or a dollar. Now, what in the above article does the Gazette criticise or object to. The Republican party did not, as did the Democratic party, have a representative come on to these works, Sunday, for the purpose of laying their plans to corrupt the election at this place; neither did the Republican party, as did the Democratic party, send a representative here from a distant town (who is a whisky pedlar on the side) to influence our voters unduly. They both, however, promptly left this locality, and I have stated in public remarks to the citizens of this locality on three different occasions, November 3rd, that if it was my wish for every man connected with this company to vote his sentiments as he pleased, and that regardless of how he voted or to what party he was allied, it would not in any way affect his standing with the company. There are hundreds of Democrats and Republicans both who heard these remarks and will substantiate my statements. I have said to Republicans and Democrats alike that no influence of any kind will be allowed around this precinct on election day. If the Democrats would pursue the same policy, instead of buying Charleston at each election at a price of between $30,000 and $50,000, we would have less corruption. Now, as to the article itself and the expressions of the Gazette. The author of that article, whether he be a correspondent of the editor of the Gazette, is an unmitigated cowardly Ilar, whose strongest forte is to slander under an assumed name a good citizen, and tried to place an improper construction upon his acts, which were intended to enforce the law and assure to everyone absolute freedom in the use of their ballot. The paper or individual who asserts that I am a member of, or allied with, the so-called hog combine or any other political ring or clique other than the straight Republican party, is an unmitigated Ilar, and I believe he knows it. The entire statement itself, on its GRAND RAPIDS FURNITURE CO. WE HAVE Just Received our New Stock of Furniture, and would be pleased to have you call and let us show you through. OUR STOCK OF FURNITURE Is the very latest designs, with prices to suit the people, and under the new management we expect to please you. GRAND RAPIDS FURNITURE CO. 214-216 Capitol Street. face, is a lie almost of whole cloth. There is no such notice on the store door of this company and never has been. There is a notice which contains some of the wording quoted by the Gazette, but they did not quote all of the notice, which is the usual practice of the Democratic Pig Combihe. To my mind the man or men, who ever they may be, who slanders under an assumed name is worse than the Indian who stabs him in the back when he sleeps. I wish to emphasize the fact that I mean just the wording of this article and I intend it to apply to the party it fits, and they can consider it as personal. I expect to be in Charleston all day November 4th; they will have no difficulty in finding me if they wish to. J. W. DAWSON. Dr. R. L.

The season is not half over, yet the fatalities already equal the number, recorded for most full seasons, nine persons having been killed, eight seriously wounded and sorest of others suffering slight wounds. Here is a list of the dead to date: Ralph Downs, aged 21, of Sanford, killed while hunting, September 25, by Seth Chambess, a companion, who pointed, a gun at Downs and pulled the trigger in fun, not knowing that the weapon was loaded. Downs died in a few hours. Eddie Turner, aged 16, of Peru, pulled his gun muzzle first from a boat. Fatally wounded. Andrew Mushero, aged 19, of Danforth, died in like manner. Roy Jarvis, of Charlotte, met a similar fate by dragging his gun muzzle first from a wagon. Irving Prichard, aged 21, of Dresden, got in range of his brother's gun and was shot though the head. Winfrid Paradis, 18, of Megantic, Que., killed instantly by a deer hunter. Herbert W. Cummings, of Bethel, was found dead in the woods near Lake Parmachenee, shot through the body. Milford Fox, 18, of Chapman Plantation, was shot dead by his younger brother, who was playing with a rifle and didn't know it was loaded. Addison Knowlton, of Swanville, was fatally shot while squirrel hunting by his cousin, Leslie Knowlton. Of the seriously injured Thomas McBride, 15, of Auburn, mistaken for a squirrel, will lose both eyes. Clinton C. Staples, of Belfast, dragged his gun first from a wagon; has a shattered left arm. Albra Gupti, aged 71, of West Buxton, dangerously wounded by a hunter who mistook him for a duck. Fremont Smith, 14, of Greenville, was shot through the body by a companion recklessly handling a rifle. John Adams, of Staceyville, strolling in the woods, was struck by a stray bullet that shattered his left arm. George Grant, of Marlon, mistaken for a deer, was shot in the arm. Many others were slightly peppered. MISSOURI IS IN DOUBT AS TO STATE TICKET St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 4.—Missouri, which last night had apparently gone Democratic, by a large majority, is still in doubt on all but the national ticket, and the plurality of 35,000 for Bryan which was then indicated has been cut by late returns so that it will not exceed 20,000. Both the Republicans and the Democrata claim their respective candidates for governor have been elected. The latest returns indicate that the plurality may not exceed four thousand either way. AT HIS OLD HOME. James S. Atkinson, who holds a responsible position in the government printing office at Washington, is paying a visit to his old home here, having come home to cast his vote at the general election. Wheeling, W. Va., Nov. 4.—The Register claims the election of Bennett, Democrat, for governor, by about 12,000, while the Intelligencer claims that Glasscock will be successful by at least 10,000.

Rural Roufes Make For Better Roads Washington, Nov. 3. "One of the poisons to the country, and especially to the farmer, that is credited to tree rural delivery, is the betterment of our country roads," said Fourth Assistant Postmaster General De Graw yesterday, under whose jurisdiction free rural delivery comes. "Why," he said, "it has been said by physicians of celebrity that since the introduction of rural delivery, bringing to the farmers daily mall, newspapers, and magazines, giving them food for thought and contemplation, the percentage of insanity and suicide among rural residents has decreased very appreciably. Furthermore, thousands of miles of good roads and many values have greatly increased, in some cases it is said as much as 25 per cent. "While we may hope some day to have ideal roads, such as exist in Italy, Germany, France and England, our roads are now, generally speaking, poor. The fact does not seem to be appreciated that the building and maintenance of good roads enables farmers to market their products with greater facility, and with much less wear and tear in wagons and stock. Improves Roads. "There has been nothing which has so conducted to the improvement of our public highways as the introduction of rural delivery. There seems to be a mistaken idea that the Postoffice department requires rural delivery roads to be ideal, to be macadamized or graveled, and rolled. This is not at all true, but it is required that roads shall be smooth, free from ruts, and graded and ditched, so that carriers can serve their routes with celerity and safety. "In connection with the rural delivery service," continued Mr. De Graw, "it is now proposed to confer yet another benefit upon the residents of rural communities. In his annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1907, the Postmaster General recommends the establishment of a system of local parcel post on rural delivery routes or at distributing postoffices for delivery by rural carriers to patrons thereof, at a rate of 5 cents for the first pound and 2 cents per pound for each additional pound or fractional part thereof up to 11 pounds. Will Be a Boon. "This added facility, if instituted, will be a great boon to the farmers, who have not the convenience for obtaining the 'necessaries of life such as residents in cities enjoy, and will also enable them to exchange merchandise with each other, thereby increasing local business. "There is much of both humor and pathos shown in the letters which carriers write the department. Tales of woe and lamentations induced by domestic infelicities, love affairs, quarrels with neighbors, and other personal business affairs are poured out to Uncle Sam, in the hope and belief, perhaps, that he can in his all powerful way set them right." Speaking of the general high character of the rural carrier, Mr. De Graw said: "When consideration is given to the great number of carriers in the service and the onmipresent temptation afforded in handling money and valuable mails, the high sense of honor and integrity of the carriers is shown by the fact that during the last fiscal year but little more than four-tenths of one per cent. of the entire number were dismissed from the service for all causes." MORSE GETS TOTAL New York, Nov. 3.—That Charles W. Morse obtained $16,692,283 of the funds if the National Bank of North America within the short space of eight months was the startling disclosure made at his trial in the United States criminal court on the charge of alleged violation of the Federal banking laws. In one month, of all loans and discounts made by the bank, the proceeds of 17.5 per cent. of them went to the credit if the little ice man. And with the whole of this vast amount he was practically doing nothing but gambling in the stock market. It must not be understood, however, that he borrowed that enormous amount of money in his own name, or even in that of dummies. Much of it he got on notes given by men he had lured into stock gambling pools, and which the makers were led to believe would not be discounted. 'So far as his own direct loans from the bank were concerned, the records introduced showed that between September 25 and October 16, 1905, the beginning of the memorable panic, when money was at its "tightest." to use the Wall street vernacular. Morse got on his own name $2,128,000. The expected battle between Morse and District Attorney Stimson, with the court occasionally taking a hand, did not materialize. BRYAN GETS THE STATE OF MARYLAND M. Miserable is the man or woman who suffers from dread Indigestion or Dyspersia. There are few diseases which create such misery, long drawn-out suffering, as indigestion. It pursues them before meals, after meals and between meals; they take it to bed with them. It is with them wherever they go, though Indigestion is the simplest disease of all to cure. Tell such afflicted ones, degr reader, of Pape's Diapensia; urge the sufferer to go to any Pharmacy here and give 50 cents for a case. Such a sufferer would ever blee you, because five minutes after taking there would be no more Indigestion, no feeling like a lump of lead In the Stomach, or Heartburn, or fullness and discomfort, no Beleaching of Gas or Eructations of Sour food, Debilitating Headache, Nausea, Water Brash and other symptoms of a sour, disordered stomach. Pape's Diapespin will digest anything you eat without the aid of the Stomach. Diapespin is a wonderful Stomach purifier and splendid to/keep the intestines clean and fresh; then your food will not ferment and poison your breath with nauseous odors. Diapespin will rest the stomach and increase the gastric juices; this is what is mostly needed—more and trouble will go. better digestive juices—and no Gas—then Indigestion and all stomach Each 50-cent case contains sufficient to usually thoroughly cure the most chronic dyspeptic. More Than Enough is Too Much. To maintain health, a mature man or woman needs just enough food to repair the waste and supply energy and body heat. The habitual consumption of more food than is necessary for these purposes is the prime cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism and disorders of the kidneys. If troubled with indigestion, revise your diet, let reason and not appetite control and take a few doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and you will soon be all right again.

PRICE BUFFALO BULL EVER READY TOFIGHT New York, Nov, 3.—Hlack Beau- ty, the prize buffalo bull in the col- lection at the New York Zoological Park, has been on ‘the rampage again, but this time he was captured and confined in a closely guarded corral before he could do any dam- age to other members of the herd Black Beauty has a reputation for fighting that would be hard to equal, and has at least three bulls who dis- puted his mastery on his death roll. Once before, when Black Beauty ‘iad killed McKinley, an equally strofg bull, after a fight which from the evidences next morning must have lasted all night, the victor was confined to a lonely barn. Recent- ly he has shown such docility that he was allowed more freedom, This Aocility, however, has been eshaust- ed, and he could no longer restrain his rage at sceing others seemingly being as bossy in the place as he had Been, Black Beauty is king of the herd and is at all times ready and willing to “ight for that title. Bronx Park has been the scene of a number of as fine buffalo fights as any wild Westerner could wish to see. The Park collection con- sists of about fifty specimens, prob- ably the largest collection in exist- ence. These came originally from the Whitney and Corbin estates: and with a still later addition from Lee farms of T. GM. Cardeza, a wealthy Philadelphian. Of these various groups each had a ruler, and each in turn has to be con- quered by Black Beauty before he was allowed to reign as undisputed champion, ! The record of killed and injured is one the officials do not like to think about, but they have been unable to devise any plan that would -make all the buifaloes dwell in harmony. To prevent more killings, the members of the different herds are now as far as possible kept in sep- arate parts of the range, which com- prised about 200 acres, ‘This city is now leading the coun- try in producing buffaloes and is supplying the country with them. During the year of 1907 twelve young ones were born in Bronx Park. Up to the present time this year there have been four young ad- ditions, All but one of — these calves grew up strong and healthy.

IMMENSE! SUMS. ©... . SPENT BY CHIGAGO ; ON THE ELECTION 2 aS THE ApvocaTe, Chicago, Nov. 4.—-Blection day cost the city of Chicago this year a quarter million doilars, The mere distribution of paraphernalia kept 70 teams busy tor a week, there be- ing 940°tons of it. Besides the 2,- 600 dalfot boxes there were the elec- tion bdoths, $0,000 pounds of official ballots and a'l the incidentals, ex- cept: Cigars, wiich equip a polling place complete. In Chicago the bal- lots supped would have made a pile 300 feet higher than the tallest building. As they were over 2 fect square the string of them would have reached from the Masonic Tem- ‘plé to the dog-pound in Hutchinson, ‘Kas., adtording to the nimble statis- tics of Secretary 1. N. Powell, of the Board of Election Commission: ers. The election judges and clerks aumber .6,300 and their vouchers for service totaled — to $142,000. The closing of the'7,600 salootis during thc day meant a mat- ter of $20,000 to their propfietors and the public service during the day cost over $10,000. No figures haVe'been offered by an enterprising press as ‘to how long voters of sthe city would have been in passing a given point in case they had fnarched in Indian file to headquar- ters to hear the returns announced. The voters outnumbered the entire population of Illinois in 1850, the year that Millard Fillmore defeated Daniel Webster for President. New Political Problems. New political problems have been raised in a number of states as a re- sult of the election, and some of the senatorial contests, which from now on wilP hold the center of the stage, promise to be bitter. The terms of service of thirty-one senators will expire nect March, one of whom is from Iinols, and eleven more from states ner here, and while Tues- day's Yesults have practically de- termined’ the outcome so far as many ofthe legislatures are con- cerned, itidications point to a great- er breaking down of party lines than ever before this winter. The growth of public sentiment in favor of the conservation of the country’s natural resources will be partly re- sponsible for this, ‘Three of the re- tiring senators, Brandegee, of Con- necticut, “Smoot of Utah, and New- lands of ‘Nevada, have been lead- ers in the upper house in the move- ment fo forest. preservation, and Smoot an@ Newlands are members of the National Conservation, Cog- mission, which will meet with the governors of the .states'in Washing- ton; next December. Other retiring senators, such as Henry M. Teller, Joseph B. Fotaker, Weldon B. Hey- burn, Charles W. Fulton, James B. McCreary and George C. Perkins have taken such a strong stand on one side or the other of varfous con- servation questions that it will un- doubtedly have some influence in their re-election or the choice of their successors, ‘The recent ex- haustive canvass of state legislative candidates undertaken by the Con- servation League of America re- vealed the existence of’ a strong con- servation sentiment in practically every state, which will undoubtedly play some part in the senatorial elections, say politicians who have been watehing the growth of the movement. ‘Western Finances. Another step toward tlre West's financial. independence of the East was the removal to Chicago of the first of theébig insurance compa- nies, the Consolidated Causualty Company, whose executive offices have been in Philadelphia. ‘This will help In checking the flood of insurance funds now sent East or abroad and marks the beginning of the creation in the West of the large reserve funda which sustain the fi- nancial prestige of the Bast.

The train shed is to cover 6 .acres, the basement of the main building over 2 acres; 10 Acres of floor space are to be provided for the’ publte. ‘The buying and tearing down - o! brick and steel buildings covering 4 blocks of ground has already meant an €xpense of millions of dollars.

There will be ticket offices and waiting rooms, but the waiting rooms will in- clude rest rooms, tea rooms and em- ergency rooms and baths for women, and barber shops and baths for men, and dining rooms.

York, “Nov, 4.—Peppering a Hungarian countess with bird shot was the wnantieipated part of a novel lan whlch 17-year-old Raymond Ar- cher adopted at Huntington, L.

Jects, and! was lost in the pages of a blood-and-thunder romance. The temptation to scare the yead- er was too great for the amateur pene There was a loud explosion, and the bakery, nag stood up straight on its ‘hind legs and“ pawed the alr. Tarts, French wists, cookies and pumpkin ples tumbled out the back of the wagon in a cascade. The ‘horse's legs were so badly wounded and the animal bled so much, it had to be killed. Feminine shrieks of distress from the other side of the road made it plain in an instant that young Ar- cher’s achievement had outrun its original purpose. Mrs. Louise Bus- tonaby, the Hungarian countess, who married the owner of the Chateau des Beaux Arts, and her sister-in- law, Miss Marle Bustonaby, were both stung by the scattering bir¢ shot. The women were badly fright ened, but not sufficiently injured tc call for the attention of ‘a surgeon. “Beacon” de Veaux stopped read. ing his novel. There weré noarrests BRYAN'S BRILLIANT .

Brothers ELECTION DAY IN CHARLESTON WAS VERY QUIET ONE ALL THINGS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION, INCLUDING THE HIGH STATE OF TENSION—A FEW ARRESTS MADE ON CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING TO BRIBE VOTERS — PRE-ELECTION PRECAUTIONS WERE VERY EFFECTIVE IN PREVENTING THE USE OF MONEY TO INFLUENCE RESULT IN CITY OF CHARLESTON, TUESDAY. Tuesday's election was one of the quietest ever held in Charleston. The looked for trouble did not come, and as a consequence all the workers seemed to be pleased. However, during the day there were several arrests made, the offenders being charged with bribery, attempted bribery or buying or selling votes. said to be especially strong. The Republicans had had a great deal of trouble at this precinct before the arrest of Guys, but after the arrest, it seems that all efforts to use money, wore cast aside. At the court house it was openly rumored that the Democrats had made a paying headline. Owing to the law which had been complied with that screens must be up to prevent the giving of signs, there were no signals from the inside to the workers on the outside. Because of this rule it was a great inconvenience to purchase votes, as the buyer had to take the word of the vote seller, instead of the clerk, who, in former elections, has been of material benefit. There were few cases of disorder at the polls. It looked squally for a time at Garnett school house. During the morning the police arrested a negro who was in line ready to vote. S. P. Smith, the Republican candidate for Sheriff, protested, and the officer attempted to place Smith under arrest, but the McGrath brothers, who were with Smith at Garnett school house, refused to allow an arrest to be made, so the officer backed down. At this point there is usually a quarrel every election day, and the Democratic workers have to be called early and strong to remind them that other people must have some consideration. At the Triangle precinct, it is claimed that quite a sum of money was used by the Democrats. Mayor Holley and Morgan Gardner were the principal workers at this point, and were assisted by Armour Givens. It is claimed that sufficient evidence has been found against Mayor Holley to place him in a serious predicament. Two men were arrested at that precinct by Detective Howard C. Smith. A large crowd stood about the polls all day. Over at Humphrey's store, on the West Side, in the Third Ward, a Democratic poll clerk, named Guys, was arrested and taken from the polling place. Guys carried a piece of chalk in his hand and is supposed to have slapped those voters who had voted right on the back with his chalk. "The evidence against him is BUY YOUR SCHOOL BOOKS AND School SUPPLIES AT MOORES Book Store 100 THIRD AIRWAYS AIRWAYS 100 THIRD AIRWAYS AIRWAYS AND 118 Capitol St. Remember we give Trading Stamps with all Cash Sales.

The Republicans had had a great deal of trouble at this preclinet before the arrest of Guys, but after the arrest, it seems that all offers to use money, wore cast aside. At the court house it was openly rumored that the Democrats had made a paying headquarters at a store on Kanawawha street, and those who voted right were given the coin at this store. At daylight this morning many of the preclinets had not finished counting the vote. The fact that the Republicans did not spend one dollar at the polls contrary to the provisions of the Corrupt Practices Act, has been warmly commented by all good citizens. While the Democrats professed to believe that the Republicans were insincere, the work at the polls yesterday was vindication, for not a dollar was used. The officials will take up the election offenses immediately and everyone, regardless of high position, who is charged with a violation of the election laws, will be prosecuted. Capt. Avis fairly warned every voter in Kanawha county that he would enforce the law without fear or favor, and will abide by his statement.

Va., Nov. 4.—The returns from Ohio, Brooke and Hancock counties, comprising the First Senatorial district, show that Milliken, Democrat, has defeated Cree, Republican, for the State senate by a small prudility. The brewery interests made a determined fight against Cree because he was in thorough accord with the Republican platform, which pledged the party to enact a local option law and submit a prohibition amendment. Wood County. Parkersburg, W. Va., Nov. 4. Twenty precincts in Wood county, out of a total of 45, give Taft 2,216 and Bryan 2,205; Glasscook, 1,957, and Bennett, 2,320. The whole Republican county ticket is elected and Wood county will give a majority to Taft and Glasscook. Democratic Loss in Pendleton Franklin, W.

Va., Nov. 4.—Hampshire county gave Bryan 1,300 plurality, 100 more votes than Parker polled four years ago.

Bennett Loses Home County Weston, W. Va.; Nov. 4.—When the Mail stated a few weeks ago that Louis Bennett could not carry his home county of Lewis, it made an accurate forecast of the situation.

The fight waged within the county was the hottest ever known, but the Republicans by master organization carried the county for the Republican gubernatorial candidate. Mason's Big Contribution Pt. Pleasant, W. Va., Nov. 4. Glasscook will have 1,100 majority in Mason county. Last night it was stated that his plurality in this county would be 600, but this estimate was 500 short, and was not based on complete returns received. Taft will carry the county by a few hundred more. Mercer in Line Bluefield, W. Va., Nov. 4. —Mercer county refused to be "Vardamanized." The Republicans stood up nobly and battled hard for the 800 majority given Glasscock in a county claimed for Bennett by 1,000. Taft has a larger prulality than Glasscock. Bennett Carries Summers Hinton, W. Va., Nov. 4. While Bennett carried Summers county by a plurality believed to be about 150, the whole Republican county ticket is elected with the exception of the prosecuting attorney. For this office the race is conceded to be very close, with the chances in favor of the Republican candidate. Stand off in Marion Fairmont, W. Va., Nov. 4.—Judge Taft has carried Marion county by a majority ranging from 500 to 1,000, but the gubernatorial race is a stand-off. The whole Democratic county ticket is elected. In 1904, Cornwell carried the county by 36 votes. Gains in Cabell. Huntington, W. Va., Nov. 4.—Cabell county has given 'traft a plurality of 500, while Glasscock has the county by 400.
