The general election held last Tuesday which resulted in a republican victory throughout the country, except of course in the southern states, was one of the greatest victory the republican party has had during an off year. We have a good working majority in the United States, Senate also in Congress, and we will control the next Congress which will insure good legislation, for at least two years. Iowa went republican as usual, electing all her state officers and all her congressmen except one, Mr. William Huffman was defeated in the 2nd Congressional district, of which Judge Wade was elected this was an ample vindication of the republican principle and the administration of President Roosevelt. It will be productive of much good to the country and prosperity to our people. SEVENTI-FIVE TONS A MINUTE. Over 5000 Tons of Iron Ore Loaded in an Hour. Iron ore was loaded yesterday at the Chicago & North-Western Docks at Ashland, Wis., at the tremendous rate of speed of 5000 tons an hour. The exact figures were 5202 tons in one hour and eight minutes, the ore being loaded into the steamer James H. Hoyt, which is built with a special view to rapid loading and unloading. The North-Western Line has two big ore docks at ashland, each one of them about ½ of a mile long, and it was at one of these large storage docks that the Hoyt received its load in record-breaking time. Supt. Sampson of the North-Western personally supervised the loading, and several newspaper witnesses it and corroborated the correctness of the record. The last ore was let into the hold, and the lines were cast off an record-breaking time, in fact, the engineer of the boat hardly found time to get the water ballast out of the vessel. This rapid work is made possible by the exceptional facilities of the North-Western line. Large capacity cars and big docks with large storage capacity have made the handling of tremendous quantities of ore possible. The docks of the North-Western line at Ashland and Escanaba have a capacity exceeding that of any other line in the Lake Superior region, to which is to be added one new building, which when completed, will increase their capacity almost 50 per cent and be the largest ore dock on the Lakes. When people have nothing, todo it is because they won't do anything. HATS, JUST HATS. HATS, JUST HATS. By our system, manufacturing and selling direct, TWO PROFITS ARE SAVED. YOU GET the BENE-PIT.

EXPRESS COMPANY TO TEST Saleure of Liquor at Newton Under C. O. D. Decision of Supreme Court Will Be Contested by the Company-New Point to Be Decided. Newton, Nov. 6.—The recent decision of the supreme court in the matter of C. O. D. packages of liquor will be given a test by a case begun here yesterday which bids fair to display some sensational features. At the time the supreme court decided by an express company, C. O. D., in this state was made, the Adams Express agent here held a large quantity of liquor consigned C. O. D. in this town. He sent to headquarters for instructions, and after waiting for that he received a word that he should deliver the stuff. Before he could do this Rev. John Ferguson swore out a warrant for it and it was seized by the officers. It is in a cell at the county jail. It will be tried, and the judge will then be carried to the supreme court to determine whether or not a sale of liquor could be consummated by its delivery. This point the supreme court failed to decide. There are ninety-four gallons of water in the cases of three three kegs of beer in the stock seized by the officers. FOR CARE OF INEBRIATES. Counties Must Settle for Keeping of Immates at Avium Da Meines, Nov. 7—The first bills for the care of inebriates under the new law have reached the office of the state auditor. They are from the Mt. Pleasant hospital and are against some twenty or more counties in the state because of the sense of commitment and the maintenance of inebriates shall be certified and borne in the same manner as for the insane. The charge for each inebriate in a state hospital in there is $10,000, and the county entered up against the county from which the patient was sent and must be paid by that county out of its insane fund. The county provides, as in the case of insane persons, that the state may recover from the estates of the patients. However, it is not supposed that any great number of persons will be able to reimburse the county and the most of the expense of care and the cost of the law will upon the several counties of Iowa. Iowa Falls, Nov. 5—A new point has been raised in law in the Wright county district court that may save J. H. Bayliss from conviction on the charge of conspiracy. This escape both of the other parties to the alleged conspiracy are arrested and convicted. Bayliss was held and tried on the above charge and on being convicted of the liability to arrest sentence was sustained by the point above referred to to the effect that one person does not constitute conspiracy and that the person should be charged should be acquitted and a third be found guilty that the third man could not be held, under the law. The point is well sustained where a three pars sanguinis case is held, but in instance neither of the other two parties to the alleged conspiracy were ever apprehended. Bayliss is held on another charge and the matter will be tried. In the when the new point raised will be ruled on by the court. EATON ANSWERS' CHARGES. Says Ignorance of Suffragists Was Very Dense. Des Molina, Nov. 5—W. L. Eaton, speaker of the house of representatives in the Twenty-ninth General Assembly, who was so roundly denounced by the recent meeting of the lowa Equal Suffrage association, was in prison for a week, took occasion to land a few hot shots into the ranks of suffragists. Eaton declares that Miss Deighton and the leaders of the suffrage lobby displayed the densest ignorance of legislative practices, and ignored his urging that the matter be settled, which would have resulted to their advantage. He further states that the equal suffragists were the only people representing public interests who did not come to him before the committee were announced and concurred to the cause and indicate their preferences as between certain members.

Des Moines, Nov. 4. - It has just leaked out that either on October 20 or 21, $2,000 in bills were stolen from a package shipped by the Des Moines bank. The American Express company undertook to deliver the package. When it was opened in the bank at Irwin on the morning of October 21 the package was found to contain strips of brown paper cut to the size of bank bills and had been substituted for the money. The order from the Bank of Irwin was received October 19 late in the day and the package containing the order was delivered to the National bank early on the morning of October 20. It was delivered to the American Express company and received for by it at 9:10 a.m. m. of that day. The package was safe in the company's city office until 6 p. m., when it was transferred to the safe in the company's depot office at the Chicago and Northwestern state office. At 6 p. m., when it was turned over to the company's messenger and taken by him to Ames. It reached Ames an hour and forty two minutes later and the company's depot agent, who had it in charge until 4 a. m., when it was given over to route messengers on the Northwestern's Omaha m. of that day immediately to the messenger on the Carroll and Kirkham branch run and was delivered by him to the depot agent at Irwin at about 7:30 a.m. At 8 a. m. the pack was delivered to the Bank of Irwin The cashier of the lrwin bank in his statement says that he broke the right hand seal on the back of the package and tore the flap of the envelope which was in the pocket of the Arabic, and reached in to pull the inner envelope in which the money is wrapped out, when he discovered it was torn, and instead of finding money he found the pieces of brown paper, which had been cut to the size of the bottle substituted. There seems to be no clue to the robber. REPUBLICANS CARRY IOWA SECOND DISTRICT IS CARRIED BY THE DEMOCRATS. Boies Defeated by a Big Majority, While Lacey and Hedge Win Out. Des Moines, Nov. 7. -Complete returns from the ninety-nine counties of Iowa show that Martin, head of the republican state ticket, leads Burke, head of the democratic state ticket, leads McCain, head of the public plurality was $8,980. The republican loss is thus $8,295. This year the democrats carry twelve counties, Bremer, Carroll, Clinton, Crawford, Davis, Des Moines, Dubuque, Fremont, Ida, Johnson, Lee and Scott. A year ago the democrats carried the state with reversed their position were Crawford, Des Moines, Ida and Scott. Otherwise the political complexion of the counties are unchanged. The Iowa delegation to the next congress will consist of ten republicans and one democrat—the first Iowa has been successful democrat is Martin J. Wade of Iowa City, candidate in the Second district. The later news served to increase rather than diminish his plurality, and complete returns from the district show that he has a plurality over william Hoffman, his opponent. The other districts are safely republican. Judge Conner of the Tenth district nisl the honor of the largest plurality, it being in the neighborhood of 15,000. Among the gratifying features of his canvass is the fact that Crawford county, the county electorate Gibraltar, gives him a plurality. The vote in Crawford county was: Conner 1,958, and Faltinson 1,954, a plurality of nine votes. Congressman Hepburn in the Eighth district gets the compliment of an increased plurality, receiving a year ago 3,921, year ago 3,921, year ago 3,921, Judge Smith in the Ninth district has a plurality exceeding 6,000, or about the same as two years ago. In the seventh district Congressman Hull has 10,000, or about the same as the Eighth, Congressman Thomas estimates that he will have about 6,500. In the Fourth district, Congressman Haugen has 4,000, or 3,000 less than two years ago. In the Fifth district, Congressman Counsell is reelected by approximately 6,000. In the contested districts of the First, Third and Sixth the unofficial figures complete show that Congressman Hedges has 1,830 plurality, Judge Birdsaill 5,255 and Congressman Lacey 1,768. The later returns have tended to base republican pluralities all the close districts except the Second. LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN.

Railway Accident Ends Fatally. Ottumwa, Nov. 5. — W. M. Wilson, of Centerville, a music teacher, died at Ash Grove. He was injured in a runaway accident, a rib in the buggy. Wilson suffered intense pain from the time the injuries were received until he died. Child is Killed. Clamons. a boy, a year-old son of William White, a farmer, living about two miles from town, was killed. He was hanging to the side of a wagon when he fell off it. He was overjoyed. Before the surgeon arrived the child was dead. Aquibikeck, the Lion-Tamer Mankbeck, when we had started from the Garden, had directed the driver to a certain well-known man much frequented by the couple and the men he helped take. "But what is this Maligni's hold on the signorina?" I asked. "Where does he get his authority over me?" The stalwart, more crowned closer to the stalwart frame of Maulkuck. he stares. "He is my master by my father's will and in a voice that will touching in its plantive sweetness. "And your father was a performer like yourself, was he not, signorina?" Leaid. "Yes— I will tell you about his death when we reach my rooms." One thing was certain: No matter how severe, harsh or tyrannical Maligni might be, he certainly was not niggarly in regard to Nita's comfort. Number 112 was but the first of a suite of four rooms, one of which was a parlor, one a cozy little dressing-room, and the other two, bedrooms, one for Nita and one for the old hag who served her. She stepped rather wearily, I thought, and sank into a chair between Maulkie and me, resting her head in her hands, as if she felt pain in the temples. I had taken my card from my cardholder and it to her. "Signinor," I said. "I have become interested in the mystery that seems to surround you, and beg you will allow me to assist you and Maulkie in your efforts to unravel it. That will tell you who I am." "Well, Signor Wil伯伦," she said, twirling the card in her hand, "I sincerely thank you. I am greatly unsurveyed by what has occurred, and can not understand it. I am liable to inane remarks. I am unable to combat my unknown enemy." "Now, see here," I said, assuming the authority of a detective, "I saw something to-light which will be of material interest and aid to us in this matter, but to get at it right, I must know all about your life." Nita passed her hand over her brow, and, after a moment spent in thought, began: I remember little about my mother. She was, as I can see her now, an ordinary girl, who died when I was, perhaps, seven years of age. Then my father took me to Madame De Long's school, and placed me there as a regular boarding-scholar. Madame De Long's school is in Albany. My life there was very pleasant, I took considerable interest in my lessons, and advanced rapidly. When I was fourteen, I was suddenly called from Madame De Long's school in Utica. I remember it well. It stood near the baggs Hotel. Barrum was in Utica on that day, and, as you know, my father was Barnum's principal trapeze performer. "On this day, my father had grown dizzy and had fallen from his trapeze, and had sustained injuries which, the surgeon in attendance said, must cause his death. I was taken at once to my father's room. I reached there just one hour before he died. Maligni was with him when I arrived, and my father signified a desire for us to approach together. My father spoke to Maligni in a tongue I did not understand. I have heard the same language since, but cannot recall enough of what was said at that time to translate or to understand. Then my father put my hand in Maligni's and told me in our own language that he was going to die, and henceforth I was Maligni's. His place and could take care of me, I remembered that I sobbed a great deal came and other men, and then my father died. Maligni attended to everything, and had my father's body taken to Italy for burial. He took me to madame De Long's. Maligni informed me that under the terms of the contract by which he took me, I was to fill the place of my father and to become an actress on the trapeze. Oh, the shame of it nearly killed me! I wopt and pleaded with him, but all to no purpose. He was not to be moved by my tears or my prayers, and he had one room fitted up as a training-room. Here I was compelled to go through the severest kind of physical training to perfect myself for the trapeze. At first I refused to wear the tights, and was severely maligned. Maligni is the one who would kill rather than be thwarted. Well, you do not need to be told the details of my hard life. Suffice to say that after nearly four years of severe training, I am before the public in a role that I hate and despise. But what can I do? Maligni is my absolute master. If I ran away from him, he would capture me and bring me back to my degrading life. What can I do?" Nita paused here, as if she was weary. I had taken a small note-book from my pocket, and was jotting down all the important points of her story. Still, there was nothing in it that shed the elightest ray of light on the mystery in hand. "Now, signorina," I said, let me ask you a question: Your trapeze is always in the care of the same person, is it not? "Not one, but two," she replied. "The two attendants are called Sancho and Dambo." "Describe them." I said. "Dambo has curly hair. His eyes are small like a snake, and gleam and glitter all the time. His hair is notong, but his mustache is very long and has straight waxed ends." "Hail!" I said. "Dambo is the man who has the fellow who set fire to the ropes." "Dambo!" Nita murmured, "I can hardly believe it. Did you see him do it, Signor Wilberton?" "I saw him die the second rope, after which he disappeared in the crowd and I could not catch him. We will see to Mr. Dambo later. "Signorina, now think hard for a few minutes, going to ask you a strange question." She looked at me with a patient smile on her weary countenance. "You may ask it," she said. "Has anything that you can recall in your life—any incident, any word, any look, any act, seemed to indicate that you were not Barletta's daughter? "Signor Wilberton!" she gasped. "Tubbler! The cry was like that of a blinded child, and Maubkeck drew nearer to her, and placed one of his giant arms around her. "You understand," I continued, "that I don't suggest this as being true, but simply ask the question. You have none of the characteristic features of the Italian race. I should judge you to be either English or American. Now, can you think of any incident at the bedside of your father—" "Stay!" she cried. "Let me think, any mother's bedside—no. I was so confused and frightened and sorrowful that I scarcely saw. No, there could be nothing. My father gave me to Malali, and the box—" "Box!" I said, interrupting her, "You said nothing about a box before." "It was a red tin box," she said, "locked with a little brass padlock. My father gave it to Maligni, and said something in the tongue I have since learned was Sardinian. I asked Maligni once what the box contained, and he said it contained the contract between him and my father." "I would give much to gain possession of that box," I said. "Do you know where Maligni keeps it?" "No. I have never seen it since the day my father died." Just then there was a great tramping of feet in the hall, which stopped at the door opposite. I opened the door of Nita's room and peeped out. There were three men there—Malgini, with his face all hidden in bandages, my old friend, Doctor Dianmow, and the major went inside with Malgini, but remained only a few minutes. When I heard them come out, I said: "Signorina, you have already had too much excitement to night, and you need rest. The first thing to be done is to find Dambo, which I shall set about as soon as I have my burned hands attended to." "Oh, you are too generous and kind," she said. "You are suffering on my account. It is too bad." "It is nothing, said. Now we will see you, and have our bursed dressed. Come, Manbikeke." He followed me out and I hurried after my friends. I caught them at the door of the hotel. "Ah, Wilberton!" exclaimed Major Simmons, when I hailed him and Doctor Dinsmore. "I have been looking for you! How is the girl?" "Nita is all right," I replied. "How is Malignal?" "Maligni is more frightened than hurt," said Doctor Dinsmore. "The bullet was evidently intended for his brain, but missed its mark. He will be well in a few days." Here I presented the lion-tamer to my two friends. "You are not through your work for to-night, doctor," I said. "Maublkeck's hands are badly burned, and mine in less degree. They must be attended to." Into the carriage that Maublkeck had used to bring us to the hotel, and Doctor Dinsmore, at Maublkeck's request, gave the coachman the address of his office. We were soon there. Maublkeck, being more severely burned than I, was, of course, first taken care of by the pyschiaticians. While they were busy I sat down near the major. "Well," he said, in a low voice that Maublack could not hear, "what do you think of it all, anyway?" "I am more than ever convinced that our original suspicions were correct," I repiled. "It appears that just before Barlotti died, he gave the girl to Malgni, and also gave him a red tin box that was locked with a brass padlock. At the same time he spoke to Malgni in the Sardinian dialect, which Nita did not understand, and Malgni was apparently very much excited and surprised at what he said. Later, Nita asked Malgni what was in the box, and he told her it contained the explanation under which her father explained. Then I explained the system under which the trapeze acrobat had worked, and repeated Nita's story for the major benefit. "I agree with you," he said, "that the contents of that red box are important. But how to get it?" Our conversation was interrupted at this point. As he ejaculated these words, the lion-tamer strode back and forth in my room. There was a pathos in his grief and rage that touched me even more than my own disappointment did. "But," I said, reassuringly, "they cannot escape us. We will go to Byrnes, Superintendent of Police, and he will catch them for us. Mallgil cannot leave New York without being detained." "Maliqni canl" replied Meubklebik. "Maliqni could wringle out of hell, and Satan himself could not prevent htm." I hastily dressed, and Maubklebik and I made our way as quickly as possible to police headquarters and told our story. Superintendent Brynes at once sent out orders to his men to make a search order for the party. Leaving the superintendent, daughter rushed upon a reco-collection of what the major told me about the druggist Tortoni. I hastily told something of this to Maubklebik, and knowing about where the store was located, we hurried there. We found it easily, and rushed in. ♂ woman stood behind the counter. "I want to see the druggist, Tortell, at once," I said, imperatively. "He is gone away," she said in broken English. "He is gone to Europe." "When did he go?" I asked in amazement. "Yesterday he sailed," was the reply. Believing this to be a lie, I turned to Maublcke and caid: "It is thicker than we supposed. There are many engaged in the aair." From Tortoni's drug store we went to the hotel where Malligni and Nita had been stopping. There they told me just what they had told Maublakeck. "Have you any objections to opening the rooms?" I asked. The clerk smiled. "No," he replied. "Here is the key to 111, and this to 112. You may go up if you want to." We mounted the stairs and entered number 112. It was bare of everything save the hotel furniture. Just as we were leaving, I happened to see a piece of paper on the floor. I picked it up. Reading it, I handed it to Maublakeck. As he read it, his face grew pale and he uttered a force curse under his breath. This is what was written on the paper in a pretty, feminine hand: "Maubikeck! Maubikeck! He is taking me away—I do not know where! He is in a frightful temper, I must obey him! He and me rescue me from Malign! I love you, Maubikeck, and only you! NITA." POMP OF JUDGE OF ASSIZE. English Paper Describes Survival of Old Custom. Great is the power and authority of a judge of assize. He represents the king's majesty, and is, on the whole, a much greater man than he is when he sits in London. At one time of day the judge 'rode circuit,' which seems to imply that the ancient wearer of the ermine was bound to be a good horseman. For it was no joke to ride from Derby to York, from York to Durham, Durham to newcastle, Newcastle to Carlisle, and so down to Lancaster. In order that 'my lord the king's justices'—for such is their sufficiency, the ermine adventurous Dick Turpin, the sheriff of every county was bound to receive the judges on the border of the county, and to provide a sufficient score of javelin men. Nowadays the sheriff must provide a carriage and escort for the judges; and the carriage merely meets their lordships at the railway station of the assize town, while the escort are commonly police officers. The latter, however, always carry staves of great length. These staves are the javelins of the old javelin men, but pointless. In some counties, however, the javelin men are gorgeous creatures in knee breeches, silk stockings and cocked hat. McLoughlin, of the Irish bar, once described them to a jury. 'Glentemouth he sailed him to power.' The ermine he sits in a carriage wid his lordship, surrounded by ballfs disguised in plush breeches and silk stockings, who are suffering the tortures of Hades because they dare not chew tobacco in the prince of the judge.'—English Exchange. HE DISLIKED GEORGE ELIOT. Autocratic Ways of Famous Authoress Made an Enemy. When George Elliot was still Miss Evans, and before she had begun to write novels, she used to frequent an old book shop on the Strand, where she left a very unfavorable impression on one young man who was at that time an assistant in John Chapman's shop. His description of her is that of a remarkably ugly young woman of universal knowledge, whose delight it was to use the Socratic method in conversation, but without the Socratic benevolence of intention. The result was that the young men at the dining table (the shop had a boarding house for its employees and guests) who heedlessly hazarded an opinion, were very soon made to feel not only that they knew nothing of the subject under discussion, but that they had learned of anything. Now, a young man does not relish being hagged and made a fool of by a pretty woman, but it is intolerable to be sat upon by an ugly one—at least such was the feeling of our informant, and one consequence of this treatment was that in after years, when Miss Evans had become George Elliot, one man could never persuade himself to read "Adam Bede," or to admit that the author was other than a very intolerant person and an intolerable intellectual prig—Harper's Weekly. Least We Forget. It is a good thing to preserve all important historic gites and relics which can still be identified or are still in existence. We have been far too too small of such things. Through popular and official carelessness and sometimes through sheer vandalism, many precious objects have been lost, forever and some places have become impossible to identify with precision. The lost, cannot be restored, but all that still exist may be preserved. We shall do well to preserve them on grounds as practical as they are sentimental. There is no occasion to be grudge the setting apart of land for such purposes. Land is valuable for other things than the building of houses or the growing of potatoes.—New York Tribune. Online Comment Made on Unter- taine Lawyer's Story. A young lawyer who had only hung set his hands on some months before came into the office of a friend, who had already made some money and quite a reputation at the bar. As the elder lawyer saw the visitor enter he said inquiringly: "Well, how are you getting along? You don't want to get that way. No matter how much you get behind in your account, always put up a good bluff and dress well. A lawyer who looks seedy shows by his looks that he can't be doing much business, and so a stranger don't have any confidence in him." "Glad you give me some frank advice," said the young barrister. "That's the reason I came around to see you. And now that you have spoken about you, badly, I want to tell you an experience to this morning. I was buying some bananas here in Park Row, and standing alongside of the pushcart pedler, when he well-dressed man came up to me, and holding out a dime said: "Here, give me a half dozen bananas quick." "Now, what do you think of that?" "Why," said the prosperous member of the bar, "he thought you were earning an honest living. That's all." RARE JOY FOR A FIEND. Mean Man Causes Mix-Up of Two Messenger Boys. A small messenger boy ran down Fifth avenue this morning, caroling a bithagome tune, his small heart at peace with all the world. Some thirty feet behind him speed a second boy, likewise at peace with all creation, and whistling as he trotted on. Upon the sidewalk stood a heartless man, nibbling a large apple, and apparently the last person in the world to pay any attention to the doings of a messenger, the boys passed him, and, manning the door, he handed the half-eaten apple whizh through the air, passed over the head of the rearward boy, and smote the leading lad full in the neck, and distributing its core, pulp and seeds over his shoulders and inside his collar. With a yell of surprise and rage the insulted youth whirled around, and the second boy ran into him. The apple-battered one let go a force right jolt upon the innocent lad's visage, and then they closed. For five minutes they battered each other all over the sidewalk, while two telegrams fluttered in the trampled mud, and the heartless man, holding his ribs to prevent absolute demolition, howled with glee—New York Exchange. Ought to Be Satisfied. "I never have any doubt about Henry's affection for me," the young bride said to her father, on the occasion of the first visit after her marriage, "but I sometimes wish he were a little more demonstrative."

Election Was Close, But Late Returns Give Odeil 12,000 Flurry-Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania Safety Republican. New York, Nov. 7.—Congressman Overstreet, secretary of the republican congressional committee, announced that the senators had been elected beyond all doubt; that the democrats had elected 180 and that there were ten districts where on account of short returns the senators had been elected. These ten districts are: First California, Fourth Illinois, Fifth Minnesota, Eighth North Carolina, Eleventh North Carolina, seventh Alabama, Eighth Nevada, Ninth Virginia, Eleventh Missouri, Stirrups Mississippi, and Eleventh Tennessee, named are now represented in congress by republicans and the last five by democrats. The republican candidates in both the doubtful North Carolina and Missouri said thought they were elected by a republican nominee in the Twenty-fourth Illinois.

ODELL CARRIES NEW YORK. The Democrats, However, Claim Coler's Election. New York, Nov. 6. Official figures on the vote for governor vary but little from the unofficial reports. According to the state's office at Albany by the several county clerks the plurality for Odell, republican, is 12,887. One county above the Bronx were carried by the democratic nominee, the aggregate plurality for Coler in these counties being 1,011. This and the Greater New York plurality are the most met and overcome by an up-state republican plurality of 135,972, the difference being a net plurality of 12,887 against 111,126 plurality for Odell in 135,972. The state legislature is controlled by the republicans by a reduced majority, but one large enough to influence the governor. Platt to the United States senate. Although the unofficial reports of the state apparently showed Odell's re-election by about 100,000 plurality, Mr. Coler, his democratic opponent, said he was not satisfied with the returns received so far, and he wished he wished to wait for the official count. A statement by Mr. Coler, which indicated that he was not satisfied with the returns received so far, was made by the announcement from Secretary Mason of the state democratic committee. About the time these statements appeared a rumor was circulated that Coler intended to make a contest in the state Democratic nomination. Evening Journal issued an extra edition, declaring that former Senator Hill, Chas. F. Murphy and Hugh McLaughlin claimed Coler's election. This report, together with the statement from Secretary Mason, caused considerable excitement in this city. Colorado. Denver, Colo. Nov. 7.—Although the returns from Tuesday's election are very far from complete, enough have been received to show that the republicans will have a majority of the electors, while the democrats, with seventeen holdovers, will have a majority in the senate. From the best reports obtainable at this time the legislature seems to be in the process of electing republicans 47. Of the democrats fourteen are from this (Arapahoe) county and their seats will be contested by the republicans on the ground of frauds in registration and at the election, the number of the whole number will be unseated, thus making the legislature heavily republican on joint ballot. It is declared by leading democrats that if this course is adopted by the republicans the democratic senate will succeed Senator Tellem. Republicans, however, say this would be impossible and that already several republican candidates for the governor have included David H. Moffat, Frank C. Goudy, Irving Howbert, A. M. Stevenson, A. B. Seaman and others, besides former Senator Edward C. Obie, who was the strictest man in the race he decides to enter it. The republican pluralities on the state ticket will probably reach 7.6%. **Chicago.** Chicago, Nov. 6—Practically complete returns from Cook county give the republicans the entire county ticket, while the strictest four county commissioners.

McMichiel he had an extended discussion with the commission. The president expressed to Col. McMichiel his gratification over the results of the election, saying that next to New York his principal interest was in the Keystone state. The members of the commission were in the business, but it is believed the charge of violation of the civil service laws in Pennsylvania were discussed.

Nigara Falls has a restaurant in which the service is supplied by electricity, and the description as given in the Great Round World is very interesting: 'The scheme was installed in the restaurant at a cost of about $50, 900 by a natural food company. There are 500 tables. Five hundred little electric cars serve the dinner to each table in a silent and satisfactory manner. Each table is equipped with an electric car, a menu and a small desk. Lying on each desk is an order pad. The guest fills out the order and places it on the car. When a button is pressed the electric servant glides away to the kitchen. After it is prepared, the car comes flying back with the dinner aboard. By means of a mechanical arrangement on the bottom of the car, each throws its own switch and leaves the main track for the hundreds of other trains. The motor restaurant is run by one young man at a switchboard. It would all seem nice if the long servant would be there!' --- VERY LOW EXCURSION BAYS 10 NEW ORLEANS, LA Via the North-Western Line.

Filipino Beverage Tuba is the national drink of the Filipinos, and its factories are plentiful throughout the islands, says the New York Herald. The sole plant is a coconut palm. A native, armed with a short bolo, chops notches in the trunk and climbs to the top. Up the bolo, the leaves cut off the end of the young stem bears the coconuts and ties in its place a hollow joint of bamboo to catch the dripping sap. The next day our native makes his rounds again, carrying, quiverlike, a hollow section of bamboo over his shoulder, to hold the drink that kindly nature has distilled for him. The juice is usually colored with bamboo and has a more desirable Pipal palate. It makes a mildly fermented drink, not more intoxicating than sweet elder when fresh, but gathers power with age. They like it only when fresh, however, and a drunken native is rarely seen. At the market stands the foam beverage is ladied out of an earthenware jar with a bamboo dipper. For a copper ducko each patron receives a porridge in a piece of coconut shell. USE OF CAVALRY IN WAR. Military Authorities Agree on Value of This Arm. All military authorities on the continent are of one mind as to the immense advantage which will accrue to the power which, at the outset of a war, can most quickly place in the field a superior force of efficient mounted troops. One result of this belief is the extreme care with which each of the great military powers of the continent watches the strength and distribution of the cavalry of its neighbors. At the present moment some disquietude exists in the Triple Alliance, because the cavalry of the France has become superior, numerically, to their own. In the event of war, France could place in the field 327 squadrons and Russia 711; or the two allies together 1,038 squadrons, while the Triple Alliance could only muster 746 squadrons, or 232 squadrons less than the Double Alliance. COLD INDEED. Some of the Odd Trials of Liquid Aids. Liquid air is, perhaps, the coldest thing in the world. It is so cold that a cake of ice is like a fierce fire as compared with it, for a kettle of liquid air placed on a cake of ice will boil just as water boils over a hot fire. It freezes mercury so hard that one can drive nails in it. The story is told that Mr. Charles E. Tripler, the experiential educator, cooks can of the remarkable dance with him on a visit to a friend. Or the way he stopped in a restaurant to eat a beefsteak. The waiter brought in a hot broiled steak and placed it in front of Mr. Tripler. As a coexist with the waiter's back was turned Mr. Tripler hastily opened the can and exposed the meat to the liquid air. Instantly the steak was frozen hard as a rock. When the waiter came back his customer complained that the steak was frozen. So the waiter called the head waiter, and the head waiter blamed it all on the cook and the cook was at a loss to explain and the result was that the frozen steak was taken back into the kitchen as a mysterious curiculty. A new steak was broiled for Mr. Tripler and this one is ate with much relief. Mahogany and White Pine. For twenty-nine years not a stick of old San Domingo mohagany has been obtainable, according to a local dealer in antique furniture, and, on the authority of one of our leading Bath lumbermen, there is not in all Maine a good sized white pine tree standing. The San Domingo mohagany is all scrub trees and the Maine pine is scrub pine. The old-fashioned pine trees which made the fame of Maine were probably all of them from 300 to 400 years in obtaining their growth. This is the reason, or one reason, why old furniture, made of the woods available a century ago are so much in demand, and why it commands its high prices. Modern mohagany is much lighter than in the pine and no longer comes from the pine. It is for the old-time pine it is necessary. GREW ON THE SABBATH. Little Girl Feared Plants Might Be Fault. John Philip Souza sat listening the other evening to the history of the pier, now called the Steepelechase, or which he is playing his Atlantic City engagement. Among other things he was told of the fuss that resulted when the authorities there fined a manager for giving a Sunday performance two years ago, although Sunday is the day when the crowd of visitors and amusement seekers is the largest. "Iincidents of the kind," said Souza "always recall to me the story of a little country girl who, very early on Monday morning, we devil-stering rainy berries to her family's minister. He was delighted, and said so; but he added, doubtfully: "En—I hope you didn't pick them yesterday—the Sabbath—my child!" "Oh, no, sir—this morning!" as hastily said. But her face grew紧 as she falteringly explained "But—but they was a growin' all day yesterday." KNEW HE HAD A GOOD TIME. Heard Policeman Tell Judge-About it in the Morning. "Down in Tennessee one day," said Senator Carmack of that state. "I met a person whom I knew slightly, and who was of convivial habits. He had all the symptoms of a 'left-over.' In fact, as he came down the street he had so close a resemblance to a man who had surely been imbibing the previous night that I stopped and said to him: "Did you have a good time last night? "Did he chirped, with a cheerful grin. "I had a magnificent time. It's a funny thing, though. Senator, he added confidentially, 'I was out all night, and yet I can't remember a single thing that occurred after nine o'clock. "You can't?' I said. Then how on earth do you know that you had a magnificent time? "Because," he explained, "I heard the policeman telling the judge about it in the morning." Vegetation on Rome's Monuments. Vegetation on Rome's Monuments. The monuments of Rome are now under observation, not only by foreigners, but by the Italian government. It has been discovered that parasitic plants grow at the top of most of the Roman monuments. At the top of the white marble column in the center of the Plaza di Santa Maria Maggiore there was till a few days ago a thrivermouse that was beginning to eat away one of the topmost ornaments of the column. But it has now been removed. Twelve figs were found on the plant. The monument is now under repair. The affair has caused quite a little flutter and the Plaza has been crowded with people to watch the uprooting process. This column is the only one left of Constantine's first church in Rome. Accurate Delay. Many stories are told of the lack of punctuality upon railroads in the southern states. It is said that when a New England man found his train, advertised to leave at 11 o'clock, starting at exactly that hour, he complimented the conductor. "Just on time, I see," he said, generally. "All this talk I've heard of the lateness of your trains is without foundation, I've no doubt." The conductor smiled at him given, "This train, sir," said he, without a trace of embarrassment, "is not today's eleven o'clock train, sir. It is yesterday's eleven o'clock. To-day's will probably not get here from 'way down until to-morrow, sir." Wanted a Change. When the Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, pastor of the Park church, Elimira, died the difficult problem of filling his place confronted the trustees of the church. The choice finally settled upon the Rev. Annie Ford Eastman, one of the few women who have made a success of the calling. An enthusiastic admirer took a sermon from her Mrs. Eastman several Sundays ago. The conclusion of the sermon the friend was asked how he liked it. "The sermon was all right," was the reply, "but I hear a woman preach six days in the week, and on the seventh I prefer to hear a man." A Strange Coincidence Three events occurred recently at the same moment in one house in Washring, near Vienna. These events were a baptism, a wedding and a funeral. While the family of the deceased, an iron molder, Albert Hrusak, were bemoaning their loss, Anton Schutz, a young carpenter, and Anton Schutz, a young carpenter, holding in the rooms beneath them, and at the same time the Chlak family, who occupied rooms in the basement, were all arrayed in holiday attire in honor of their infant, Gabriel, who was being baptized. Church Laws of Olden Times **The British Primitive Methodist** the latter at Burney, Launceston, recently observed an important laurel caryer, and issued a souvenir hand-boot containing copies of old records. A minute passed in 1834 reads: "That we do not allow young men and women to walk in the street together arm in arm at any time; neither do we allow them to stand at street corners chatting together." By another resolution the chapel authorities forbade girl choriators wearing bows in their bonnets. **Magnetic Sand Bar in Norway.** The fiction of the mysterious lodestone mountain which drew the nails out of ships that approached near enough has a certain foundation in fact, says a French paper, only the fact has suffered expansion. On the coast of Norway, near Joerns, there is a sand dune of nearly three-quarters of a mile in length. The sand is mixed with particles of lodestone, when a ship comes in the widest portion of the sand and the vessel is entangled in a kind of whirlpool and enters a wave. Where to Locate?

A Diplomatic Error At a diplomatic reception in London recently the wife of the Chinese ambassador was, upon her arrival, gravely ushered into the cloak room reserved for gentlemen. The mistake is easily accounted for, because Chinese women of rank do not, as a rule, attend public functions in London. Moreover, her feet were of normal size, she belonging to a castle which allows the foot bandages to be disbanded. Her dress was, of course, slightly different from that worn by Chinesemen, but apparently not awkwardly so to enlighten the attendants as to her sex.
