MAKES BIG INROADS IN WYANDOTTE ---THERE WILL BE SOMETHING DOING FROM NOW ON WYANDOTTE REPUBLICANS MAKE GREAT INROADS ON THE DEMOCRATS-GREATEST FOR Wyandotte Republicans made a slash into the Democratic column Tuesday and if it had not been too much Wilson in this county several more would have landed safely as only a few votes were between them. The county now has a full Republican board of commissioners, the first in many years. Wm. Blodgett won over Timothy Lyons by nearly 2,000, this district being one of the strongest Democratic districts in the county. Another surprise to the Democrats was the defeat of Frank Holcomb who has held the office of county clerk for 16 years. Wm. Beggs shoved him out by a few hundred votes. Judge J. T. Sims led the ticket with more than 7,000 to the good. Dr. Hayward for coroner and U. G. Gates for register of deeds also run into large figures. Geo. Allen for representative piled up a big majority of over 2,000 against his Democratic opponent. James Getty for state senator ran away with Mr. Rose with ease. So did Judge McCamish and Judge Herrod for second and third divisions of the district court. While Col. Little lost this county he won over Taggart in the district by several thousand votes and was the only new Republican congressman elected in the state.

IN MEMORIAM In sad but loving remembrance of our darling little daughter and sister, Vivian Hortense Carroll, who departed this life one year ago Nov. 8, 1915. In the silent shade of Woodlawn, In a narrow casket bed, Lies our darling little Vivian 11 years of age, With the calm and peaceful dead. Vivian, darling, how we miss you, None on earth but we can tell And we hope to meet in heaven, Where no farewell tears are shed. —MR. AND MRS. MATT CARROLL AND CHILDREN.

All the balance of the state Republican ticket was elected with a large vote. Mrs. F. Fields, 2718 North Seventh street, entertained on Last Saturday beautifully in honor of her daughter. Velma's ninth birthday. A most enjoyable time was had and Velma was the recipient of many beautiful presents.

HURRAH FOR QUINDARO! Finest conduct, high thinking, about polls. Mr. Banks received almost a hundred votes and that inspite of the hardship of having to write his name on the ballot. Quindaro is awakening. Unity of thought and action means much for Quindaro's future. For an eleventh hour showing it's GREAT. This is the best effort for self appreciation in the history of the community. The story in brief: The Republican candidate at the last hour announced his withdrawal as township clerk. One hundred votes, nearly, does credit to the sense of justice of the colored voters of Quindaro. Born—To Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Stewart, of 2522 Allis, October 31st, a fine son, Rudolph, Jr. Mrs. Jas.

A LIFE OF USEFULNESS---LOVED BY ALL---- FAITHFUL TO HER GOD AND HUMANITY A LOVELY CHARACTER GOES TO HER REWARD—AN OLD AND 'HIGHLY RESPECTED CITI- Last Tuesday, November the second an angel of the Most High came into our community and took from us one of our beloved and sainted mothers, Mrs. Nancy Bruce of 617 New Jersey avenue. Mrs. Bruce was one of our great women and her life to the race and this city has been one of untold value. A woman whose intellectual force and Christian teachings were far, reaching into the lives of those with whom she came in contact and her words of instruction and kindness will ever live in the hearts of hundreds. Mrs. Bruce taught school for several years in Missouri in her early life and was one of the best instructors of that day. She was a member of the W. C. T. U. and was one of its most active members. Her life was that of usefulness and her thoughts of purity. Her husband preceded her some fifteen years ago and the only relatives living are a few nieces and nephews. The funeral was held Sunday at 2 p. m. at the First A. M. E. church of which she had been a faithful and active member for many years. A large number of her friends were present and many fine floral offerings showed the high esteem in which this good woman was held. Among these floral tributes was a lovely piece from the W. C. T. U. and its president was present and spoke feelingly of what Mrs. Bruce had been to the work of this organization. Resolutions were read from the church, Missionary society and Class Number 8 of which she was a member. At the time of her death she was 76 years of age. A sweet and lovely character has gone and that ever smiling face will be missed by her great multitude of friends and admirers. Rev. J. R. Ransom, her pastor, preached the funeral service which in his discourse spoke of the power and influence for good that had characterized the life of Mrs. Bruce, a woman with exceptional ability and Christian womanhood. The relatives have the deepest sympathy in the loss of such a noble character and counsellor. RESOLUTION. There is a reaper whose name is Death. And with his sickle keen He reaps the golden grain at a breath and the flowers that go between. Shall I have naught that is pain saith He Have naught but the bearded grain. Though the breath of these flowers are sweet to me. I will give them back again. Oh, not in cruelty, not in wrath. The reaper came that day. 'Twas an angel visited the green earth and took the flowers away. Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God to remove from our midst and association our beloved sister, Nancy Bruce. And Whereas, As a class we miss her departure and Whereas, We feel that our loss has been heaven's gain. And Whereas, We feel that in her we find a true example of the Christ-like life. Be It Resolved, First: That we bow in humble submission to the will of Him, who doeth all things well and ask him for guidance in the way of truth. Secondly: That we, the members of Class Number Eight shall try daily by precept and words to do those things that made the life of our departed sister a power for God and humanity. Thirdly: That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of our class meeting and a copy sent to the family and weekly papers. Respectfully, (Signed) THOMAS KENNEDY, Leader. J. C. TRUMAN, LOTTIE D. HALL, THEDOSIA HAMILTON, Committee. Mrs. R. D. Stevens of 830 Nebraska avenue, left Wednesday morning for Palestine, Tex., her old home, where she will visit her friends for several weeks. She will also visit her sister at Long View, Texas. --- NO.12 ANNUAL CONVENTION WYAN- DOTTE COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION NO- VEMBER 13 AND 14.

As we go to press all indications are that President Wilson has been re-elected over Charles Evans Hughes. California seemed to be the deciding state which was conceded to Wilson this morning. It is probable that a recount of some of the close states will be taken, which possibly might make some changes. HALLOWE'EN PARTY. One of the nicest parties of the season was given by little Miss Edna Houston at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Houston, October 31.

Yuan Shih Tal, according to popular belief in China, is not dead at all. He is thoroughly alive, but in a state of extreme low visibility. Yuan saw his difficulties increase till there was no way out. The revolution in the south seemed certain to bring his overthrow and a shameful death. The time was ripe for disappearing. So, according to this popular belief, which already seems likely to become established as an enduring legend, the dictator slipped away incognito to some remote interior region or to some foreign land, while a corpse or a sack of meal was left behind for obsequies which were excessively private. No one could have blamed Yuan for wishing to disappear. Never was a man surrounded by a more harrassing tangle. He could not see any comfortable egress. But wishing to disappear and actually disappearing are two very different things, especially when one is a nation's most conspicuous citizen. It is unlikely that even the craft of Yuan could have worked the miracle. In all probability Yuan is quite dead. The Yuan legend may live, and do no harm, but China's well wishers will hope that the reactionary system of the dictator died with him, and that an era of true enlightenment is dawning for the troubled realm. Germany's Motor Mixtures. Germany's Motor Mixtures. Owing to the shortage of gasoline in Germany other motor fuels had to be sought, and it is stated that the one most used is a mixture of alcohol and benzol. According to a report of the American consul at Lyons the results of experiments made with a touring car, with an ordinary carburetor, showed a mileage of 4.60 miles with one pint of a mixture of equal parts alcohol and benzol, at a speed of 42 miles an hour. With one part benzol and three alcohol 4.34 miles were covered at 39 miles an hour. With one part benzol and five of alcohol the car covered 3.72 miles at 30 miles an hour. With pure benzol the car covered 3.79 miles at 42 miles per hour; and with gasoline the record was 3.60 miles at 44 miles per hour. These figures may be of value in this country when the cessation of war demands throw more benzol on the market. - Dominican Republic The Dominican Republic has an area of about 20,000 square miles and is larger than Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, or Turkey in Europe, or than the combined areas of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, and Rhode Island. The population is estimated at about 700,000, which is about 35 people a square mile, while Haiti, its neighbor on the west, has about 200 square miles and Porto Rico has more than 300. Most of the fertile land of the country is still virgin. Says No Good. That woman's tongue goes as fast as an express," "Which isn't the only point of resemblance, for like an express, it is always on the roll." WHY SEEK WEALTH? WHY SEEK WEALTH? RICH MAN MISERABLE COMPARED WITH POOR BOY. Writer Enumerates Many Joys Which the Latter Has at Command, and Which Are Forbidden to the Millionaire. Many of the leading railroad presidents, corporation presidents, financiers, politicians and millionaires of today began life as poor boys. This sentence sounds as though it had been written before, and it probably has been, a good many times. From now on not so many of these worthies will begin as poor boys. That wastes too much time. The thing to do now is to begin as a rich boy and then work up, says the San Francisco Bulletin. But are the railroad presidents, corporation presidents, financiers, politicians and millionaires who began as poor boys any the happier because they ceased to be poor boys? Do they ever wonder as to the wisdom of the first choice at the first crossroads leading toward wealth and fame? They know that their lives have not been model ones, even from the point of view of happiness. A poor boy has many pleasures. He can steal apples. He can go in swimming. He can play ball. He can go to school. He can have a best girl. He can play Indian, build wigwams in the woods, roast potatoes in campfires, smoke cornsilk cigarettes. A railroad president or a millionaire cannot have half so much fun. He has his dignity, his business, his money, his wife's social position, his servants and his health to worry about. By the time he is successful he is growing old and beginning to have doubts as to the meaning and value of life; his first fresh joy has departed; sunrises and sunsets move him no more, music cannot draw his attention from the purposes which have made him a monomaniac, and he does not care to go barefoot or sneak out with a jack-o-lantern in the dark of a fall moon. Everybody likes to think of John D. Röckefeller saving his first hundred dollars, but who likes to think of him saving his last ten million dollars? It is the beginning, not the climax, that is romantic and charming for the observer and, perhaps, for the man himself. Power and wealth are not much compared with the fine thrill in young blood on a frosty October morning, or even the soberer elation of an old farmer looking westward over the tops of the wheat on his quarter section at sundown. Hope Yet for Wrlist Watch. "The wrist watch is to hold its vogue," announces the report of a recent convention of the American National Retail Jewelers' association. So the matter is settled for another year beyond peradventure and those who do not see how they could live without the convenient timepiece on their left arms may take heart of grace—their wrist-watches are not yet to be taken from them and banished among other has-beens of fashion. It is hard to believe, anyhow, that a lot of jewelers could get together and decide arbitrarily whether so useful a belonging as the wrist-watch is to stay or go; but one knows what upheavals in fashion a few coutourieres banded together may accomplish in the twinkling of an eye; so perhaps those of us who live, move and keep our several appointments by wrist-watches should be humbly thankful that they are to be permitted to use yet another twelve-month. Incidentally, the convention also decided that bar screws for the ears will come into favor rapidly and that diamond solitaires will be the fashionable ear-rings. Pension for Authors By a curious coincidence of fate, William H. Mallock, who wrote "Is Life Worth Living?" is among the authors to be placed on the British civil pension list, according to the most recent announcement. Another recipient of government bounty is Lady Murray, widow of Sir James Murray, who edited the Oxford Dictionary. Dr. Thomas Ross, the "tramp" poet; "J. Comyns Carr," the dramatist who translated "Madame Sans Gene," and Mrs. Amy Bullen, widow of the author of "The Cruise of the Cachalot," and other sea stories, are also on the list. To be eligible to the pension the recipient must have been eminent in literature, except in the case of a dependent, and notwithstanding that payment is a form of charity there-is never a dearth of applicants. The uncertainty of the rewards of literature is nowhere better illustrated than in the case of Doctor Murray, one of the most eminent philologists of his time, who gave many years to the perfection of his great work but died poor. Hot-tempered Sea Dog. A certain British destroyer was ordered to go alongside a battleship to fill up with oil fuel. It happened to be a Sunday, and the only person the commander of the boat saw on deck was the officer of the watch, a sub lieutenant. He shouted out: "Where are the hands to make my boat fast?" "All below at church, sir," was the reply. "What!" shouted the indignant commander. "Am I along a battleship on a cathedral? Kindly request the archdeacon to come on deck and lend a hand with the wires!" THE NAMAS OF 877 ABUSCAYL NEW BUNGALOW FOR RENT.

His Friend Peaslee Had to Ask Him Twice, but Then He Wanted to Be Sure He Got the Right Mr. Peasle, lately returned from a visit to the city, proudly displayed a new cane, brave with hammered silver. "How does that piece of wood look 'ye, Hynes?' he demanded happily. "And them silver dewdads, tool!" Mr. Hynes glanced at the stick sliderwise but offered no audible comment. "My nephew gin it to me," Mr. Peaslee went on complacently. "He forched home two of 'em one night, and he says to me, 'There they be, 'she; take any one you're a-mind to.'" "Huh!" grunted the deacon. "Mr. Peaslee glanced at his friend, and presently a smile of understanding spread over his face. "You kinder remind me, Hyne," he begun, "of Jim Willett's wife when he bought her a new settin' room carpet." The deacon looked up, clearly suspicious of what was coming. "I don't know Jim Willett, nor his wife, either," he observed. "Wal," Caleb replied 'cheerfully, you'll know suthin' 'bout 'em in a minute if you'll quit fidgetin' and listen. Jim and his wife lived over on the Spruce Knoll road, but he moved away before you come to town to live. Fr'm the time Jim married her she never was suited with the place where they happened to be livin', and she key' him movin' 'fr'm one place to another. "She was the naggin' kind, and her face and temper was both as thin as a case knife. If she ever had a good word to say for Jim, I never heard her say it. I never knew her to agree with him nor allow that his judgment was with anything. "This time Jim had been to the city with a load of truck, and sutin' put it into his head to buy a new settin' room carpet. His wife'd been more crabbed' common lately, and be jealoused if he didn't fetch her sutin' from the city she might be even wuss. "So when he got home, after he'd put up his hoss, he took the roll of carpet under his arm and went into the house with it. Mis' Willett was in the settin' room, and one of the neighbors with her. She sort of sniffed when Jim come in: "What've yo got in that great bundle?' said she. "So Jim unrolled the carpet and spread it out, and frim what the neighbor told me afterward it was a handsome piece of weavin'. The neighbor woman went to carry 'cin' on 'bout how pretty it was, and all that; but Miss Willett never made a yip, with her mouth drawn down at the corners and trottin' her foot a little. She must have acted, I sh'd jedge," said Mr. Peasley slyly, "a good deal as you did when I was a-showin' my cane a spell back," and Mr. Hyne grinned wryly. "Wal, anyway," Caleb went on, "Jim saw, she wasn't goin' to speak, so he made the mistake of sayin' suthin' himself. "There was two of them carpets for the same price,' he says, shiftin' from one foot to the other, tryin' to make things pass off pleasant, 'but this one seemed the better one to me, so I took it.' "Wal, that was 'nough for Mis' Willett, and she turned on him with her eyes fairly snappin'. "Do you mean to stand there and tell me, you wittess critter,' she snapped out, 'that you had a chance to choose betwixt them two carpets and then went and fetched home this thing, when you orter known I'd liked the other one twice as well? There! she says, turnin' to the neighbor woman, 'now you can see some of the things I have to put up with frm that man. No more judgment than a child!' And the neighbor had hard work to keep frm laughin' right in her face. "Now, Hnye," concluded Mr. Peasele, "Tm goln' to ask you again what you think of my cane." The deacon flushed consciously. "I guess you picked the handsomest one, Caleb," he said. "I shouldn't say there was a mite of doubt 'bout it!'"-Youth's Companion. New Sperry Searchlight. Night visitors to the electrical exposition at New York were astonished at the new searchlight mounted on the roof of Grand Central palace, which has a brilliance 22 times greater than the famous light at Sandy Hook. It is the invention of Elmer A. Sperry, already known for his gyrocompass and aeroplane stabilizer, and who is a member of the naval consulting board. The rays equal in intensity the sun at eight o'clock in the morning at this time of the year. The searchlight burns a superheated vapor in the cavity of its positive electrode. Efforts will be made to signal Philadelphia, 91 miles away, with its ray. Bad for Her Temper. "Are you looking forward to election day with much anxiety?" "More than I have ever experienced before," answered Mr. Dubwaite. "Are you afraid your party is going to lose?" "Oh. It isn't that. Mrs. Dubwalte is going to vote for the first time and I expect a rather trying evening when she returns from the polls." But Experts Are Asked to Explain Why Chicken and Quail Are Immune. Harrisburg, Pa.—Experts in universities and colleges of the state have been asked to inform the state department of agriculture why strychnine will kill crows and not affect chickens when eaten. The state live stock sanitary board stirred up the question by sending out a notice urging that crows be exterminated and giving instructions as to use of the poison. Some people wanted to know if chickens would be harmed by it. The board officials replied that they would not, and told of the result of an experiment by one man who had written to the department that he had fed strychnine in corn to brown leghorn chickens and that they had not minded it a bit. When he threw it out for the crows to eat he had to send out burial parties. On the other hand, quall did not seem to mind it a particle. REUNION OF BLUE AND GRAY Two Visitors in a Dakota City Fought on Opposite Sides in Civil Volga, S. D.—The Blue and the Gray had an interesting reunion in Volga when Mr. Witerspoon, a guest at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Samis, and Timothy Corcoran, who is visiting his son in Volga, chanced to meet and compare notes of the stirring days of the great Civil war. Witerspoon served in the Union army, while Corcoran served on the Southern side. From their conversation they learned that the companies in which they served on their respective sides participated in several battles with each other, and on one occasion during a series of battles the two companies of which the two-were members faced each other on the battle line. The former wearer of the Blue and the former wearer of the Gray became great chums as the result of their reunion. APPENDIX REMOVED ON SHIP First Successful Operation of the Kind to Be Performed on San Francisco.—The first successful operation for appendicitis performed on the Pacific ocean was revealed here on the arrival of the United States transport Sheridan from Mánila via Honolulu. MaJ. E. A. Dean of the United States medical corps performed the operation on Milton S. Finch, a private soldier. When the Sheridan was three days out from this port, Finch was suddenly stricken with appendicitis. Major Dean, an army surgeon returning from the Philippines on the Sheridan, was called in and asked to operate on Finch, and while the Sheridan plowed through the waves he removed the appendix. Finch recovered rapidly from the operation and was rembived to the army hospital at the Presidio when the Sheridan arrived here. MAKES LEGAL PROPOSAL Jacob Henkel, chief engineer for a publishing house, and Miss Anna Kuhnel, his housekeeper for many years. Recently Miss Kuhnel filed a suit for $50,000 against her employer. Henkel answered the suit by filing a proposal of marriage in the supreme court, the strangest document of its kind that ever came before the court. Miss Kuhnel then filed a legal acceptance of the proposal and agreed to meet Henkel at the city hall. The photo shows the couple leaving the marriage license bureau. Spider Endangers Baby. La Crosse, Wits.—A spider bite on the arm is believed by physicians to have brought *Nellie* Jane-Griswold, two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Griswold, to death's door. A big red plotch on her right arm began Nellie Jane's troubles. "In the next few days-Nellie had repeated, spasms, a high fever, and other dangerous symptoms. She is now recovering." OWN PART OF GREENLAND Comparatively Few Know That the United States Territory Extends That Far to the North. * Very few had any idea that the United States owns a chunk of Greenland as big as one of our average-sized states until they read the provision in the proposed treaty between our country, and Denmark whereby we are to pay $20,000,000 for the Danish West Indies and, in addition, relinquish to Denmark all our claims to territory in Greenland. If you will look at a recent map of Greenland you will see the name "Pearyland" across the upper part of it. This is the land discovered and explored by Admiral Peary. He and other American explorers were the first to visit and map the coast line of the greater part of northern Greenland and Peary discovered that it was an island. It has always been the recognized right of a nation to claim sovereignty over land discovered by its subjects. Spain got title to a big slice of America through Columbus. Under this title-by-discovery claim the United States could claim all of northern Greenland except the Danish settlement of 34,000-square miles and 12,000 population on the southern coast opposite Iceland. But this is only one twenty-fifth of the area of Greenland. Now Denmark wants it all. The average American will be likely to say, "For goodness sake, let Denmark have it and good riddance; what do we want of that iceberg?" The chances are that we don't want it, and that it would never be any good to us. Still, there is another possibility. When the United States bought Alaska it was thought by the majority of people to be barren and worthless, but last year it shipped us in goods eight times the value of the purchase price, and now coal is coming to the Alaskan coast by rail to help lower the price in California. Spitzerberg, far up beyond the Arctic circle, has recently become of immense value because of the discovery there of minerals. Dispatches have told of the return of members of the Stefansson Canadian Arctic expedition with news of the discovery of great fields of native copper in Prince Albert land, as far north as Greenland. Canada is exploring the lands of the Arctic with the intention of extending her authority all the way to the pole, on the chance of finding coal, iron, copper and possibly gold. But the development of those regions, if they are ever to be developed, seems to be the province of the nations of the snows, like Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Canada. Good Word for Gum Chewing. An important book has just been published by Doctor Carlson, a professor of physiology in the University of Chicago, which is entitled "The Control of Hunger." This ought to be a much-read book in these times of the rising cost of living. He has made many experiments on humans, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc., and has come to the conclusion: "That hunger pangs diminish with use of chewing gum, chewing tobacco, cigars, and cigarettes. The direct result of gnawing at a piece of gum is the stimulation of nerves in the mouth. The sensation causes a decrease in stomach contractions, thus assuaging the sharpest appetite." Are we then to conclude, when we see the unctuous damsel, on the trolley, chewing gum with energy and violence, that she is seeking to abridge her appetite because of the lack of food at home? Well, whatever the motive, why is not the doctrine a practical one? We hope this book is not written in the interest of the gum manufacturers. A professor wouldn't do that.—Ohio State Journal. Rodin's Meditations Auguste Rodin, the French sculptor, is noted as one who has wrought greatly, created greatly, reflected gloriously. He delights in reading, but he reads only old books. Above all he delights, in books of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in their original editions. To his thinking most modern books are not well enough written, not well enough printed and are not well enough bound. Only his intimate friends—and his coachman—know, it is said, how at times he is absorbed in himself and is oblivious of all surroundings. At such times, it is useless to speak to him. He answers no one. He must be let aloud in his meditations. When he returns from Paris to the villa of Meudon the coachman opens the door of his carriage. Rodin is awake, but thinking, and his reverie must not be disturbed. So the coachman closes the door, detaches the horses, and leaves the carriage with the man of genius in the middle of the coach yard, and there he will continue to dream, sometimes for house. Shipbuilding Revival. Shipbuilding on the Pacific coast is reviving. There are now being built in the Pacific northwest 37 ships with a tonnage capacity of 292,000. Eleven of these are wooden vessels with semi-Diesel auxiliary power propellers, and the others are steel. The value of the vessels' building or contracted for is $32,000,000, and a dozen shipbuilding companies are interested in the work. A steel, steamer was recently launched at Seattle with a dead weight tonnage of 8,800 and another is soon to be launched at that place with almost the same tonnage. The Manufacturers'-Association of Seattle recently gave a banquet in honor of the shipping and shipbuilding interests. The Utopia Culture club entertained about 50 guests with a Hallowe'en party Tuesday night, October 31st, at the home of Mrs. James Williams, 2600 North Hallock. Prizes were won by Mr. Pepp and Mr. W. H. Ish. The club met Tuesday, October 9th, at the home of Miss Mayme Scott, 625 Winona. Mrs. E. Davis, North Eleventh street, has been ill, but is much better at this writing.

This shows that they not only appreciate and desire the kind of service the Y can and will render them, but also and most important that they are ready at any time to do good community work. They cannot appreciate at present how far reaching their service was but in years to come we are confident they will look back to this campaign with pleasure. On Friday afternoon, November 3, Miss Eva D. Bowles, the national secretary for colored work in cities met with a group of faithful and interested workers. Miss Bowles feels that the outlook for our work is very encouraging, especially since we have in the G MME. C. O. S. Hair S.

There has been but few business firms started in the city that has gone to the front, as rapidly as the undertaking firm of Mr. Oliver who has only been in business a few months. Mr. Oliver has had some of the finest turnouts and his method of taking care of his funerals has been of the highest order. Prof. John S. Cannon, the late associate with Mr. Oliver, will be a big asset to the business and it would not be surprising to see this firm in a moderate length of time become one of the largest in the Middle West. They have a fine parlor and show rooms at 415 Minnesota avenue, where calls are received night and day and they are prepared for auto or horse-drawn funerals.
