Miss Ricks graduated from the conservatory of music of the college here last June, and is an accomplished musician. The Wiley university is one of the leading educational schools for Colored people in the south and the position tendered Miss Ricks is considered a splendid tribute to her musical ability.

The daughter is the third member of the family to complete her educational work and go out into the world to fill a position of responsibility after mastering the essentials through educational channels and overcoming obstacles that would have discourage the majority of her race. A Sample of Some of the Letters Received by the Bystander. Chicago, Day after Election. Dear Friend: It's all over now. The most roaring farce, the most exuberant display of idiocy, the grandest exhibit of impudence that was ever paraded before the astonished gaze of the world has at last come to an end and the political bunco man, false prophet, hnubug and fakir, has been retired to the background The old flag waves in triumph. The country is safe. We are redeemed. Taft has been elected and all classes can breathe free again. What fearful disasters we have escaped! Misery for the poor; disaster for the well-to-do in life. The common sense of the common people has averted the calamity. While many were deceived and mislead, the great body was open to reason, saw the danger to our country and its benign institutions and built up an impregnable cladet with their votes, against the enemies of liberty, law and order. With their votes they smashed the most dangerous conspiracy since the over-brow of the slave-holders rebellion. Democracy, mobocracy, ballotbox- an of State Central Committee. stufflog-ocracy, Kryan, Parker, Daniels Vardaman, Heflin and Tillman exeunte omnes. (The curtain falls.) You have been an important factor in producing the good results. Accept congratulations. REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH. The election is over and the shouting is ended, and Republicanism has triumph once again, and we can sing with a joyful heart "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." The good sense of the common people has averted democracy and calamity and has retired the boy orator from the Platt to the relics of the past. And again the Grand Old Republican flag waves in triumph. The people spoke in thuddering tones by a large majority against the enemies of prosperity, law and order and with their votes they smashed democracy ballot-box stuffing, disfranchiment and jim crow carism we hope forever. We congratulate the common people upon their good judgement in thus selecting a Republican president, and a Republicaian congress to continue our present prosperity and era of good feeling that we may go from achievement to another, and within the next four years we hope that the good people will not have to meet such a combine conspiraty to destroy our prosperity. Thanking those who have labored hard, and rejoicing with them we say HIP HIP HORAY, for the GRAND OLD PARTY. Our beloved Governor Albert J. Cummins was overwhelmingly elected to be the next U. S. Senator, to succeed the late Wm. B. Allison. He will take his seat on the 7th., of December of this year and we predict that he will become an interesting leader in the American congress. He has had a hard fight for nearly twelve years, yet he was elected over his opponent, Major Lacey, by nearly 50,000 majority. We congratulate the Governor, and hope for him continued success How to Treat a Sprain Sprites, swellings and lameness are promptly relieved by Chamberlain's Pain Palm.

DES MOINES . . IOWA During the past eight months the rich have had a hard time. A railroad director said recently that "it is a great deal harder for a man who has been living at the rate of two hundred thousand a year to get down to a fifty-thousand-a-year standard than it is for a man who has been living on $15 a week to get along on $10." This must be so because the fifteen-dollar man has got along on ten so often that it is easy, like any habitual privation. The multi-millionaire is a green hand at economizing, and should be plitted by the expert poor. But he gets no sympathy, and in one respect deserves none. Only this summer a Newport trademan announced publicly that he would not give his rich customers more than 90 days' time in which to pay for the corned beef, prunes, salt coddish and other delicacies that bend their tables. The curse of the rich is their poverty, and it is a pity to see them ground down by tradesmen. Of course it is hard to in summer, when the rich are taken from the slums and sent for fresh air to Newport and other resorts, they have to be troubled with bills. But holidays have their responsibilities as well as their relaxations. A story comes to the Youth's Companion of a wealthy man to whom a bill was brought on Christmas morning. This seemed to him an outrage, but when he went to the door, fuming with protest, he found a boy, who said: "Sorry to trouble you, boss, but I just have to have that seven-fifty for our Christmas dinner." Ever since the passage of the pure food law, manufacturers have complained of the injustice of denying them the use of the small amount of preservatives necessary to keep certain kinds of food products from fermentation or other form of deterioration. Prof. Wiley of the bureau of chemistry in the department of agriculture has appointed a pure food committee, to represent the different states having pure food laws, the object of which will be to harmonize the state laws with the laws of the government. The committee will also, without doubt, define what is a safe amount of preservative to be used. It is said that there has been an increase of pomaine-poisoning since the pure food law went into effect, but perhaps the statement, like some of the food products, can best be taken with a grain of salt—or of boracic acid. Increase in the number of college degrees may not in itself be a good sign. The progressive decrease since 1800 of the number of medical diplomas awarded means a great gain in the quality of the men intrusted with the health of their fellow men. In 1906 over 25,000 and women received the degree M. D. In 1907 the number dropped a thousand, and this year the decrease was sixteen hundred. During the year several medical schools not in good repute were closed. Most of the great medical colleges require an A. B. degree or its equivalent for entrance. "Half-baked" professional men are no use to the community, and even when the standards of the medical schools are high, there will be plenty of incompetent men in the profession. Although apples have been raised in the east a good deal longer than in the west, it is the west which leads off with the first national apple show, which will open in Spokane, Wash., in December. The $35,000 in prizes are to be open to the world. For the best car-load of standard commercial winter apples a prize of $1,500 will be given, and for the largest apple an apple of gold. "Life, color, demonstration and motion" will be the managers say, characteristics of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exhibition, which is to be held next year at Seattle, Wash. But if an added promise is fulfilled, that "everything will be in readiness at least a month before the opening date," June 1, that will be distinction beyond all other such fairs. The first football accident has happened in Massachusetts, where a student in a class game had his back broken. This looks as if the human sacrifice to the game will be normal. Rejection of the proposal to use the Washington monument as a wireless telegraph station is a reminder that although the inventor is the hero of the present hour he is not quite the whole thing. A New York boy was arrested for stealing disease germs. He took them from the laboratory of a scientist. Do not think for a moment that he was pinched for contracting the measles from Johnny Jones across the way. Stealing disease germs in the latter way has never been treated as a crime. Cities that never clean up until the specter of cholera stalks down their dirty streets generally find their frenzied efforts too late. Maj. Gen. Fred Grant continues to lead off in all the test rides of the army officers. However, he is still in his forties, and is a fine disciplinarian as well. He not only doesn't complain of 30-mile rides per diem, but rejoices in the sport. Mount Vernon, Ill., has a "blackbird post"—or bad, until) it remembered that from time immemorial blackbird pies have been among the luxuries of bites; and now it is killing the birds for the butcher and cooking them. CHILD SAVING INSTITUTE Movement for Adequate Buildings for Conduction the Work This statement is made to the general public for the information those who may be in a position to assist in meeting the present necessities of this organization. The home is without adequate buildings and facilities to take care of the homeless and dependant children in positions of distress, needing shelter and temporary care. For several years past the present buildings have been inadequate to meet the demands. The old buildings can only accommodate comfortably about 400. The number appealing for admission has been so large, hundreds have been refused admission who need temporary assistance. in spite of the small quarters the Institute has sheltered and fed and provided for 2,371 children the last 12 months 341 homeless and dependent little ones have been cared for and 40 of these are on hand today. Cottages have been rented for two 30 three years past in the neighborhood of the Institute in order to accommodate children and nurses and helpers and on account of having these additional rooms near by the Institute could shelter more children. The average number on hand daily during the past summer has been from 50 to 60. The old buildings are in such a disfigured condition that they are absolutely necessary unless the home can enter at once upon the work of constructing new buildings. The Board of Trustees has been planning a new building for about four years, but on account of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. the Auditorium, the various hospitals of the city and other building enterprises the matter has been postponed from time to time until the present. Now the managers of this Institute feel that the time has come to launch the enterprise. They are assured by the leading business men of Omaha and by friends in the country districts that the building in Savannah, an open field and the sympathy and approval of the general public in the enterprise to construct a suitable building for these dependent little ones. The Trustees look to the country district for a large amount of help, to banners, merchants, professional men and the farmers because this institute belongs to the whole district for hundreds of miles in every direction from Omaha. A few years ago a message came from Sidney that the father of a large family had broken in health and that he was unable to care for the children and that the county had assumed the burden of his case for the rest of his life. Almost immediately following this information came the word that the root mother of the children, who had been wishing to support them and struggled against poverty, had suddenly collapsed and died leaving a baby and seven little brothers and sisters. This appeal from the citizens of Omaha led the county of the Institute sent by the next train to bring in the eight little children and provide homes for adoption for all of them. During the past summer a message came from Louisville to come for two little girls, left absolutely homeless because their mother had died and the father was an invalid and there were no relatives or friends to take care of the children. Less than a month ago three little children were received from Belgrade, Neh., whose father was dead and whose mother was sick, with the hope of living not more than four to six weeks longer. There were no friends or relatives to care for the little ones and they were sent to the Institute. Telephone messages have often been received. Toliamah and other towns in Nebraska and from towns across the river in western Iowa to come at once to receive little children thrown out homeless and desistue and such appeals have always been answered. It is the policy of the Institute to find good Christian homes for children as soon as possible and it is usually found that two or three months time is required in which to carefully investigate homes by personal visits and to make arrangements for placing the children. The matter of final adoption is carefully looked after and watchful care exercised over the little ones until they grow up. Another department of the work of the institute is to rescue children from wilde and immoral surroundings and to prosecute cases in the courts when necessary. It is protected those who cannot show themselves absolutely unworthy of keeping their children they are sometimes taken from them by legal proceedings and placed in good homes. It is also the policy of the Institute to assist parents to keep their children, believing in all cases where this can be done parents and children should be kept together. Temporary assistance is therefore often given in the care of little children to help the mother tide over a hard place until she can reach a position of self-support. Efforts are made to re-establish homes and to assist in the reconfiguration of the house and wife by going out the encouragement that they can have their children a little later and that they ought to live for their children, and the efforts of the workers have been crowned with success in scores of cases. Now the Institute has become so well known throughout the community and the volume of the work has so increased that it is impossible to meet the demands without larger buildings and suitable buildings for the work. A building of 50,000 square feet can cost about $50,000 and to secure the proper space to furnish and the building will cost nearly $75,000 more, making an outlay of $75,000 required. The managers of the Institute are the following well known business men; George F. Bidwell, pres'd; Guy C. Barton, vice-president; C. W. Lyman, treasurer; K. C. Barton, secretary; Rome Miller, chairman of executive board; H. J. Fenfold, W. S. Wright and Arthur O. Smith. B. W.

Washington, Nov. 4. 4—the president and Mrs. Roosevelt reached the White house on their return from Oyster Bay shortly before 6:30 o'clock Tuesday evening. The first thing the president did when he reached home was to scan the latest election returns which, by the time he arrived at the White House, were coming in rapidly. He particularly passed on he read the report of his home district in Oyster Bay, which gave both Mr. Taft and Mr. Hughes a substantial majority. When it became certain that Taft was elected, Mr. Roosevelt was highly elated. At the White House executive offices were installed direct wires of the different telegraph companies and of the Associated Press and over these the president had the news of the earliest position on Oyster Bay between the executive offices and the White House proper carried the most important bulletins while the president was at dinner. William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska, the Democratic candidate, went down in the third defeat of his life's ambition to occupy the White House. Among the more significant results were the re-election to congress of Speaker Cannon and Chairman Sereno E. Payne of the house committee on the budget measure, the election of Representative W. S. Coward as governor of Missouri, which therewild returns to the "solid south," and the re-election for a third term of Gov. John Johnson, democrat, in Minnesota. One of the results surpassing the most sanguine hopes of most Republicans was Mr. Taft's carrying the greater city of New York by a plurality which approached 10,000. Further increases in the number will be approximately 189,334, exceeding by nearly 14,000 Roosevelt's big plurality of 1904. Only second in point of general interest was the victory of Gov. Charles E. Hughes, who was re-elected by a plurality estimated as well above 75,000 over the vote cast for his Democratic opponent, Leight. Gov. W. New York gave a plurality for Taft, gave Chancer a margin of 56,843. With 31 United States senators to be elected by legislatures chosen now or earlier in the fall. The Republicans will retain their control of both houses of congress. Mr. Taft carried practically every election except to accept Newbraska, where Mr. Bryan was victorious. Mr. Bryan carried Nevada and Montana, in addition to the solid south, which includes Missouri. Republican Pluralities Reduced. Some of the figures relating to the Republican slump in certain states regarded as certainly Republican, are little short of amazing. Pennsylvania's immense plurality of over 500, 600 four years ago has been cut in two, which, in turn, has made the 444 nominee for Taft by about 170,000. The highest claim of the Republicans for Indiana is 15,000 against a plurality of 33,000 for Roosgevelt. RESULTS ON STATE TICKETS. Gov. Hughes Re-elected in New York and Deneen in Illinois. Charles E. Hughes triumphed over his foes and was re-elected governor of New York by a plurality of about 76,000. This he accomplished by cutting down the expected Democratic plurality below the Bronx. Deneen Wins in Illinois. Gov. Deneen has been re-elected in A happy party, consisting of cabinet officers and their wives and a number of other guests were entertained at the White House during the evening and heard the news of the election. Later in the evening as the reports grew thick and fast the president went to his office in the executive building and there carefully read everything of importance which came over the wires. LANDSLIDE FOR TAFT—HOWELL. Georgia Democratic Leader Comments on the Result. Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 4.—At 10:20 Tuesday night, Clark Hewitt, national Democratic committeeman from Georgia, conceded the election of Mr. Taft. Mr. Hewitt gave the Associated Press the following statement: "It is a good deal for Taft. Mr. Bryan has made q wonderful campaign, but he could not overcome the provailing idea that business conditions would be adversely affected by Republican defeat. It is now up to the Republicans to make good their pledge to restore prosperity, for to that THE ELECTORAL AND POPULAR VOTE ON PRESIDENT STATES. 1903. 1204.

Incomplete returns indicate that Taft has carried Iowa by a plurality now placed at 57,000. This is a tremendous falling off from the Roosevelt plurality of 158,000 of four years ago, but it represents only a slight falling off from the normal plurality. The Republican state ticket is elected, by about the same plurality. Though Taft carried Ohio by about 50,000, Harris. Republican candidate for governor, was defeated by Harmon (Dem.), by probably 15,000 plurality. Harris Beaten in Ohio. Though Taft carried Ohio by about 50,000, Harris, Republican candidate for governor, was defeated by Harmon (Dem.), by probably 15,000 plurality. The Republican national and state tickets were victorious in Wisconsin by a plurality estimated at 75,000. The congressional delegation probably will remain about the same as two years ago, nine Republicans and two Democrats. The legislature, which will elect a United States senator to succeed Isaac Stephenson, will be overwhelmingly Republican, the returns indicating the election of 73 Republicans, 21 Democrats and six Social Democrats in the assembly, and 27 Republicans, four Democrats and two Social Democrats in the senate. Incomplete returns indicate Gov. Johnson's role as governor of Minnesota by a majority of 10,000 to 15,000. Returns so far received indicate that Taft's plurality will be between 80,000 and 100,000. Chairman Dickey of the Republican state committee claimed Hadley's election as governor of Missouri, but declined to give figures. State Chairman Rubey of the Democratic committee, asserted that Coward's plurality was safe. He estimated it at 15,000 to 20,000 and asserted that Senator Stone won the senatorial fight by "a large plurality." For the first time since the Thomas A. Hendrickson elected governor on the U.S. state ticket and U.S. Grant William H. Taft, and elected Thomas governor. According to the latest estimate Mr. Taft received a plurality of about 15,000 and Mr. Marshall was victorious over James E. Watson, Republican candidate, by about 8,000. The latest returns indicate that Bryan carried Maryland by about 1,000 plurality, the totals being: Bryan 101,420; Taft 100,339. CONTROL HOUSE AND SENATE Republicans Have a Good Majority In Both Houses. Latest election returns indicate that the house of representatives is still heavily Republican, with a majority on division of 49. The Republican membership in the sixty-first congress is 218 while the Democrats show only 173. The membership of the house is 231, and the majority necessary for control is 186. Smoker's Cannon was re-elected by a majority of 6,000 to 10,000. Congressman Hepburn, Hall, Dalzell, Payne and other leaders of national importance who had hard fights were all successful. The districts on which the Democrats rolled to increase their present strength have, in most instances, returned Republicans. Practically will the Senate. The Democrats will practice no change in political complexion, the Republicans retaining a large majority. The membership of the senate is pledge they must attribute their success more than anything else. Mr. Taft is a big, broad, patrician Ameri- tian who will be fair and just to the south." Taft Congratulates Hitchcock. Cinchmatl, Nov. 4. — Judge Taft at 9:10 p. m. sent the following telegram to Frank H. Hitchcock: "I am delighted to hear the favorable returns from all parts of the country, especially New York, and I wish to express my gratitude to you for the work which you have done and felicitate you on the accuracy with which you have handled the clear grasp and wonderful political knowledge of the situation."—William H. Taft. Gov. Hughes wired Judge Taft at 8:30 o'clock: "Heartiest congratulations on your splendid victory." Chairman Hitchcock was heard from as early as 6:30 o'clock. He said: "Hearty congratulations on magnificent vote." Chair J. Keepe sent this message: "Congratulations on your splendid victory. Labor voters appreciate and recognize their real friends."

The election was a success as seems probable from the returns giving the make-up of the various legislatures which elect senators, would show the strength of the two leading parties in the senate to be: Republicans, 60; Democrats, 31; doubtful, 1. Chairman Hitchcock's Statement. Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock of the Republican national committee made the following statement: "The returns speak for themselves. There seem to be no longer any doubtful states. The electoral vote will show that my estimate was correct to now. I think, as I must have underestimated it. The returns have exceeded my expectations. "The plurality in Indiana will be less than I expected. That in Illinois is far more than anticipated. And so it goes: where one state has not quite come up to the figures I had expected some other state has gone far beyond. The latest returns from the state are about $8,000 for ridden state by about $8,000 to 10,000 and that is more than I believed it would rive.

To the Editor — Sir: —Doubles many of your readers will be pleased to have some word from the grain fields of Western Canada, where such a large number of Americans have made their home during the past few years. It is pleasing to be able to report that generally the wheat yield has been good; it will average about 80 bushels to the acre. There will be many cases where the yield will go up 60 bushels at the acre, and others will go up 80 bushels at the acre. It has been recorded. The oat and barley crop has been splendid. The price of all grains will bring to the farmers a magnificent return for their labor. An instance has been brought to my notice of a farmer in the Pincher Creek (Southern Alberta) district—where winter wheat is grown—who made a net profit of $1.55 per acre, little less than the selling price of his land, 30, 40, and 80 bushel yields are recorded there. The beauty about the lands in Western Canada is that they were well cultivated, while the luxuriant crops that grow everywhere in abundance make the best possible feed for fattening cattle or for those used for dairy purposes. The new homestead regulations which went into force September, 1908 attracted thousands of new settlers. It is now possible to secure 160 acres in addition to the 160 acres as a free grant, by paying $3.00 an acre for It. Particulars as to how to do this and as to the railway rates can be secured from the Canadian Government Act. "The development throughout Western Canada during the next ten years will probably exceed that of any other country in the world's history," is not the statement of an optimistic Canadian man, but of Mr. Leslie M. Shaw of New York, ex-Secretary of the United States Treasury under the late President McKinley and President Roosevelt, and considered one of the ablest financiers of the United States. "Our railway companies sold a good deal of land and from the town to the city an average of the land and from the town are selling the same land at from fifty to seventy-five dollars, and buying more up in Canada at from ten to fifteen." The editor of the Monticello (Iowa) Express made a trip through Western Canada last August, and was greatly impressed. He says: "One cannot cross Western Canada to the mountains without being impressed with its immensity of territory and its future prospects. Where I expected to find frontier villages there were subsanianally built cities and towns with every modern convenience. It was formerly supposed that the climate was too severe for it to be thought of as an agricultural country, but wheat and oats were still being cultivated. We drew from Ontario many of our best farmers and most progressive citizens. Now the Americans are emigrating in greater numbers to Western Canada. Seventy-five per cent of the settlers in that good country located southeast of Moose Jaw and Regina are Americans. Canada is well pleased with them and is ready to welcome thousands more."

General average greater than the continent. Under new regulations it is FARMS IN WESTERN CANADA FREE Fifty bushels per acre have been grown. General average growth per acre has been part of the continent. Under new regulations it is possible to secure a homestead of 160 acres and, additional 160 acres at $3 per acre. "The development of the country has made marvellous strides. It is a revolution, a reckless failure," stated from correspondence of a National navy, who visited Canada in August last. The grain crop of 1908 will net many farmers $2.00 to $2.50 per acre. Grain-rating, mixed farming and dairy are the principal industries.

The Munich Jugend has discovered five signs by which to detect the school to which a painter belongs: (1) If he paints the sky gray and the grass black, he belongs to the good old classical school. (2) If he paints the grass green, he is a realist. (3) If he paints the sky green and the grass blue, he is an impressionist. (4) If he paints the sky yellow and the grass purple, he is a colorist. (5) If he paints the sky black and the grass red, he shows possession of great decorative talent. A Sudden Transition. Little Wilke Jones, while picking blackberries, was stung on the calf by his leg by a poisonous insect. By bedtime his leg was so swollen that his mother, I began to be very much worried, so the first thing the next morning she went to his room to find out if the swelling had gone down. "How is your leg, son?" she inquired. "Come, look—it's swelled 'way up,' he answered proudly. 'My calf has no bry, as a heife since last night—another bry.'" BRYAN'S VOTE IN THE STATE IS 173,423. TAFT'S VOTE IS 238,454 The Carroll Vote is 217,772 Against 163,848 for the Democratic Candidate. Total Vote In Iowa Taft ..... 238,454 Bryan ..... 172,423 Taft plurality ..... 65,031 Carroll ..... 217,772 White ..... 163,848 Carroll plurality ..... 53,924 Total vote for Taft and Bryan 421,577 Total vote for all candidates, 1904 ..... 435,703 Cummins ..... 42,000 Des Moines, Nov. 6.—These figures based on semi-official returns from eighty-one counties of the ninety- nine in the state and gathered from county auditors, furnish the first actual total vote published in Iowa. All previous statements of pluralities have been based merely on estimates of the vote, but the table published would give the exact vote in each county of the counties listed. It is impossible to secure the eleven mil- counties last night, because the county auditors had not received the complete returns from the precincts in these counties. In some cases the complete vote will not be available the returns next week. While there are eleven counties missing, they will not change the net result except to increase somewhat the number of officers over their opponents. They may add 3,000 to the pluralities of each, bringing the final Taft plurality to about 64,000 or 70,000 and the Carroll plurality to something over 55,000. Those assumed autonomy was ended by the law enforcement policies of Attorney General Byers, played even with Mr. Byers by cutting his vote. But Mr. Byers did not cut the state ticket was cut from Carroll down. State Superintendent Riggs suffered even a little worse than Attorney General Byers, for he received probably with Davenport school authorities on questions of policy. Byers' vote was cut approximately 2,000 from the Taft vote. Taft received 6,288 and had a plurality of 679. Byers received 6,288 and had a plurality of 679. Carroll received the county by 979. Carroll received 5,179 votes and White 8,605. White receiving the largest vote cast for any one on the county was received 4,274 in Scott and Muller 5,214. But no serious cutting of the state ticket was reported outside of Scott county. Byers and others ran behind in some of the other river counties, but byers, at least, will more than make it up in other sections of the state. Eighth District—W. D. Jamieson, Shenandoah.

Des Moines, Nov. 5.—Iowa republicans elected all but one of their candidates for congress, and that one was Col. "Pete" Hephorn of the Eighth district. That old secretary many a wilt, political campain was annulled by a young man—W. D. Jameson—who did an amazing thing when he was elected to the state senate two years ago and now does a still more amazing thing by beating a man who was experienced in politics when he was as yet unborn. "dered favorable to Kendall. Yesterday morning the report was that Kendall was removed and Sixth district democrats conceded his victory. In the First and Second, the other candidates, Kennedy and Dawson, won handily with large pluralities. In the Eighth, Jamison won by 650, the plurality over Heppman. In the Eighth, Kendall won by about 769 over Hamilton. THE IOWA LEGISLATURE The republicans gain at least six members in the legislature, as the result of the election Tuesday. They make the gains in the lower house. While two senatorial districts now represented by republicans send democratic senators two democratic districts send republicans. In the house the republicans gain tenteen counties and the democrats gain one increase to republicans being six. The Cedar-Jones and Bremer-Butler districts now represented in the senate by democrats have elected republicans and the Iowa.Johnson districts now represented by republicans have elected democratic senators. The republicans elected members of the house in Adair, Allamakee, Bremer, Buchanan, Cherokee, Jefferson, Iowa, Lyon, Madison counties now represented by Warren and Washington counties now represented by democrats. The democrats elected members in Decatur, Ida, Jackson, Jones, Marion and Mills counties and gained a member in Madison, along with Mingus, therefore, have a net gain of six in the lower house. LIVED ON TEN CENTS A WEEK. Bill Doolittle's a Good One, But Not Attractive. "D'yu find smoking hurts yu'u" asks HIl Bldidge, a Yankee lawyer, in White Brook's story, "The Solar Mach- ing company doesn't do me any good," I said; "but I'd have trouble quitting it." "No, yu'u wouldn't. Smoke this." He took from his vest pocket the fellow to the stogey in his mouth and tossed it across the table to me. "Ever hear how Bill Doolittle lived on ten cents a week." I assumed that Bill's economies had never been brought to my attention. "Wal," said Biddle, "he took dawn with a friend on Sunday, an' ate to last 'im till Wednesday. Then he bought ten cents' wuth tripe, an' he hated tripe so like thun that it lasted 'im the rest' o' the day. The ocean works a good dial like that tripe.

"After an attack of rheumatism, running sores broke out on my husband's legs, from below the knees to the ankles. There are no words to tell all the discomforts and great suffering he had to endure night and day. He used every kind of remedy and three physicians treated him, one after the other, without any good results whatever. One day I ordered some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oatment, Cuticura Caulcas resolvent. He began to use them, and the last three sores were died up.

Time's Wonderful Changes Harry's Wonderful Changes. Harry Lauder says that when Sir Alexandra Hanning was constructing upon his manure been laid on a land a piece of machinery to drive, by means of a small stream in his barnyard, a threshing machine, a winnowing machine, a circular saw for splitting trees, a hay press, an out roller, he noticed an old fellow, who had long been about the place, looking very attentively at all that was going on. "Hobby," said he, "won't things people can do nowadays, can't the 'Ay,' said Robby; "Indeed, Sir Alexandra I'm thinking if Solomon was alive now he'd be thought nothing of!" A Cure. The sinner walked along the rocky road, his baro feet torn and bleeding from bruises and wounds. He met a stranger. "Friend," he exclaimed, "I have shinned and done wrong, I must patiently suffer the most extreme agony to save myself from eternal darnation. Can you tell me some supreme test of repentance?" "Certainly," answered the other, with an air of experience. "Go to a boarding house and live there for a year." A Difficult Task. An old Irish laborer walked into the luxurious studio of a New York artist and asked for money to obtain a meal, as he was too weak to work. The artist gave him a quarter and then, seeing possibilities for a sketch in the queer old fellow, said: "I'll give you a dollar." The artist said: "Sure," said the man, "it's an easy way to make a dollar, but, but—Iw wonderin' how I get it off." PUZZLE SOLVED. Coffee at Bottom of Trouble. It takes some people a long time to find out that coffee is hurting them. But when once the fact is clear, most people try to keep away from the thing which is followed by ever increasing detriment to the heart, stomach and nerves. "Until two years ago I was a heavy coffee drinker," writes an ill, stockman, "and had been all my life. I am now very young." "About three years ago I began to have nervous spells and could not sleep nights, was bothered by indigestion, bloating, and gas on stomach affected my heart. "I spent lots of money doctoring—one doctor told me I had chronic catarrh of the stomach; another that I had heart disease and was liable to die at any time. They all dled me until I was nearly starved but I seemed to get worse instead of better. "Having heard of the good Postum had done for nervous people, I discarded coffee altogether and began to eat it. I was better, and now, after nearly two years, I can truthfully say I am sound and well. "I sleep well at night, do not have the nervous spells and am not bothered with indignation or palpitation. I welch 32 pounds more than when I began Postum, and am better every way than I ever was while drinking coffee. I can’t say too much in praise of Postum, as I am sure it saved my life."

New York, Nov. 6—The membership of the electoral college which will choose the next president of the United States remained in dispute when the official counters in Maryland abandoned their task last night. According to the best information obtainable, the proportional members of the republican and Democratic parties determined by a division of Maryland's determined Half of the city of Baltimore and two of the twenty-three counties outside of that city are still to be counted but there is a strong indication that the state's vote will be split. In any event, the margin of victory will be so small that the state was claimed last night by the leaders of both parties. Through the splitting of a state's election vote is unusual, it will be recalled that in 1504 Maryland elected one republican and seven democratic electors. Missouri appears to be safely for Taft, to whom the latest returns gave a plurality of 4,067 with the prospects of more when the few final districts are counted. Conceding Missouri to Taft and leaving Maryland to be split between him and Bryan, the figures show 319 republican electors and 156 democratic. The plurality of Herbert Hadley, republican candidate for governor, has reached 17,343. Whether he has carried with him the rest of the republican state ticket has not yet been determined. He has run far ahead of his associates, however, in most of the 114 counties of the state, but the republican state committee insists that the minor state candidates will receive a plurally no less than that given to Taft. The democrats seem to be assured of control of the general assembly by six votes on joint ballot. In the house the republicans have seventy-three members and the democrats alight-four. The senate, however, has eighty-three members to 12. State returns from the rural counties show surprising gains for governor William L. Cheney in the contest with Senator William L. Cheney in democratic senatorial nomination, and there is a possibility that he will yet over come the tremendous lead he received in St. Louis and Kansas City. BRYAN DISCUSSES DEFEAT Nebraskan Hopes To Be Of Service To Country. Lincoln, Nebr., Nov. 6.—In discussing the results of Tuesday's election, William J. Bryan said: "I hope, I have convinced my friends that running for office has one an incident to my work. My heart hurts when I see a certain office, but I wanted to do certain work, and it looked as though the presidency might offer the opportunity to do that work. I am sure that in private life I can have the chance to do something. "One is not required to hold office in order to do big things; one is simply required to do those things within his reach, and the chance is within the reach of each of us. "Personally, I shall find as much joy being out of office, as I would be office. I have still to be of influence to bring about needed reforms." RECEIVER FOR PHONE CO Rock Island Concern Had Branch In Davenport.

OHIO GOES 75,000. Taft's Home State Gives Him a Good Plurality. Cincinnati, O., Nov. 6.—Taft, carried his home state by 75,000 at the same time that the democrats elected Judge Harmon to be chief executive of the state's plurality. The democrats concede the seat to a Republican legislature, by which a senator will be elected to the place now filled by Senator Foraker, who will be reelected, with several other members of the republicans willing to take the place. Jap Emperor's Birthday. New York, Nov. 6.—New York's Japanese colony nov. 4, celebrated the anniversary of the birthday of the emperor of Japan with a celebration at Carnegie lycum. The actual date of the birthday is Nov. 3, but the Japanese feared that out of such a celebration the old city would nationalize the empire might be offensive to the American people. There was much enthusiasm, "banzai," being shouted for the emperor, for Japan and for the Roses, the unvailing and revival of the emperor's trait was carried out with great solemnity.

BUSINESS MANAGER FOR CHURCH Cleveland Institution Plans to Try a New System. The Epworth Memorial Methodist church in Cleveland has decided to try a new system of church management. A business manager has been appointed who will give his entire time and attention to the finances of the church. As executive secretary he will collect the benevolences, dees of members, subscriptions, etc., and pay all expenses. He will serve as secretary of the standing committees of the church and keep a record of the activities of the church. This, it is expected, will leave the pastor free to give attention to the larger plans of the work and to his pulpit and pastoral duties. Epworth Memorial has the largest membership of all the Protestant churches in the city. It has an extensive charity work and handles over $25,000 in contributions every year. Dr. G. K. Morris, district superintendent, strongly commends the innovation. "To my mind," he says, "It is the ideal of church government. I expect to see the plan adopted in many other cities."

How to Cure a Cold Be as careful as you can you will occasionally take cold; and when you do, get a medicine of known reliability; one that has has an established reputation and that is certain to effect a quick cure. Such a medicine is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It has gained a world wide reputation by its remarkable cures of this most common alliment; and can always be depended upon. It aids on nature's plan, relieves the lungs, aids expectoration, opens the secretions and aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. During the many years in which it has been in general use we have yet to learn of a single case of cold or attack of the grip having resulted in pneumonia when this remedy was used; which shows conclusively that it is a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by all drugstores.
