PEACE! PROSPERITY!! UNION!!! IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH. Of course Old Misousri is all right, she is no more the Mystrious stranger, but a member of the family. Consolation is in order for bishop Consolation is in order for bishop Walters, Waldron, Ransom, Trotter, et al. We are very much disappointed in the defeat of A. P. Heywood and cannot conceive where he lost out, his record as a public servant has been above reproach and his friends were nonplussed at his defeat. The Wiley Martein was not in the running with your uncle Mark Higgins. As forecasted in our last issue as a result of the battle of ballots on last Tuesday the principals, as advocated by the Republican party swept the entire country, even poor old Misouri has decided to permanently break the moorings which have held her fast to the old dame of democracy and join the mighty force of progress as set forth by the party of progress. The black phalanx rallied to the standard through out the country and on this occasion as in the past, proved themselves loyal to the great party of progress and prosperity. Locally there is no question but that the splendid organization prevented the democrats from getting almost a clean sweep on the county ticket, and reduced Bryan's plurality to less than 100 votes. So all along the line the colored voter in the campaign of 1908 has rung true. Helena, Montana, Friday, November 6, 1908 The following from Cyrus Field Adams, editor of The Appeal, Chicago, is Self-Explanatory: 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 buncoman, false prophet, humbug 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 strong common sense of the common people has averted the calamity. While many were deceived and misled, the great body was open to reason, saw the danger to our country and its benign institutions, and built up an impregnable citadel with their votes, against the enemies of liberty, law and order. With their votes they smashed the most dangerous conspiracy since the overthrow of the slaveholders' rebellion. Democracy, Mobocracy, Ballotbox-stuffingocracy, Bryan, Parker, Daniels, Vardaman, Heflin and Tillman—exeunt omnes. (The curtain falls.) You have been an important factor in producing the good results. Accept Congratulations. Yours faithfully, C. F. Adams The New York Dry Goods Store. Helena, Mont.

The colored voters taking great pride in cutting Judge Horn, and it is safe to say that not a dozen colored voters voted for him, they also called themselves getting even with Phalen for County Attorney on account of his attitude in the Holland case, which was the first Jim Crow Law sought to enforced in this State, and we believe that Mr. Phalen acted without antipathy against the race a majority of the voters did TAFT IS ELECTED Election Results Over the U. S. New York. Nov. 4.—General election returns from throughout the United States received up to an early hour this morning show the following results: William H. Taft of Ohio has been elected president, with 298 votes secure and 13 doubtful. Practically no change is indicated in the complexion of the national house of representatives. The United States senate will retain its present republican majority. Governor Hughes has been reelected in New York state by about 76,000 plurality. Indiana has gone for Taft by from 15,000 to 18,000 plurality. Bryan apparently has carried Nebraska, although the republicans still claim the state. Ohio returns have been seriously delayed owing to the immense size of the ballot, but Taft has carried the state by a majority ranging from 50,000 to 70,000. Taft Carries New York City. Taft carried New York city by about 11,000 plurality, this being the first time the city has given its vote to a republican candidate for the presidency since 1896, when McKinley had a small plurality. Mr. Taft received a greater plurality in New York state than Roosevelt did four years ago. The indications point to 202,000 for Mr. Taft as against 175,000 for Roosevelt. The indications are t' at democratic governors have been elected in several of the middle western states that have given their presidential votes to Taft. Mr. Taft has exceeded Mr. Roosevelt's plurality in New Jersey and in Massachusetts, as well as in New York. Pluralities Smaller in West. The republican plurality fell off heavily in "he middle west in a manner thoroughly surprising to the republican managers. Speaker Cannon has been reelected by his usual majority. Representative Payne of New York and Representative Dalzell of Pennsylvania are reelected, and the house of representatives will probably continue under its old regime. Mr. Payne will have charge of the new tariff bill in the extra session when Mr. Taft will call it after March 4 next. Missouri has returned to the "solid south" on the presidential ticket and elected Cowherd as its governor. Washington's Winning Ticket Governor—Samuel G. Cosgrove. Lieutenant governor—M. E. Hay. Secretary of state—Sam H. Nichols. State treasurer—John R. Lewis. State auditor—C. W. Clausen. Attorney general—W. P. Bell. Commissioner of public lands—E. W. Ross. Superintendent of public instruction —Henry B. Dewey. Insurance commissioner — John H. Schively. Washington has given Taft a majority close to 50,000 on the presidential ticket, while the majority for S. G. Cosgrove, republican, for governor, bids fair to run close to 30,000, and the rest of the republican state ticket will follow closely in his tracks. All three congressmen are elected by handsome majorities, and the legislature, which is pledged to elect Wesley Jones to succeed United States Senator Levi Ankeny, will be overwhelmingly republican in both branches. King county will give Taft a plurality of about 10,000. Returns fro mWashington state counties, while very incomplete, indicate that in the next legislature not more than five democrats will sit in the lower house. The senate will stand 35 republicans to 5 democrats. Spokane County. Too. The combined returns so far received from both city and county give Taft 4370 and Bryan 2280, which maintains the ratio of 2 to 1 in favor of the republican ticket. In the congressional race at 3:30 o'clock the returns from both city and county give Poindexter 3283 and Goodyear 1756. For governor at the same hour Cosgrove's vote in Spokane county is 3276 and his opponent's (Pattison, dem.) 1806. For lieutenant governor Hay, republican, has 2882 and Edwards, democrat, has 1722. The other republican state candidates have about the same vote. Returns so far available indicate that the entire republican legislative ticket is elected in Spokane county, with the exception of the Fifth district, where Lester P. Edge and John Gray, democrats, appear to have a slight advantage over Judge Norman Buck and Guy B. Groff, republicans. It may safely be said that the proposed tax amendment to the state constitution and the proposed amendment to the state constitution relating to the right of eminent domain have lost overwhelmingly in Spokane county. Indications point to a victory for township organization for Spokane county. THE WINNERS IN IDAHO Senate Will Probably Be Democratic— Defeat for Local Option. Republican winners: Thomas R. Hamer of Fremont for congressman; J. F. Ailshie of Idaho for justice of the supreme court; James H. H. Brady of Bannock for governor; L. H. Sweetzer of Cassia for lieutenant governor; Robert Lansdon of Washington for secretary of state; D. C. McDougall of Oneida for attorney general; S. B. Taylor of Bonner for auditor; C. A. Hastings of Nez Perce for treasurer; F. C. Moore of Shoshone for mine inspector; S. Bell Chamberlain for superintendent of public instruction. Late returns from Idaho counties show that the entire state republican ticket will be elected, J. H. Brady's majority for governor being estimated at 15,000, Taft carrying the state by 20,000. Portions of the republican county ticket in Kootenai will probably be defeated, as in Shoshone. The legislature is apparently in doubt. The senate will probably be democratic, in which case the local option bill will meet defeat. On the basis of meager returns southwest Idaho will return a majority of about 5000 for Taft. Montana May Be Bryan. Returns in Montans outside Silver Bow county, where machines were used, are coming in slowly, but indications point to a complete victory for the democratic state ticket and election of democratic presidential electors. Oregon for Taft. Returns indicate that Taft's plurality will exceed 25,000. It is believed he has carried every county in the state. Utah Republican Utah is republican again this year by a heavy majority, that of the national ticket being much greater than for the state candidates. Taft Leads in California. It is stated that if the Taft figures maintained their ratio of gain as indicated in 109 scattering precincts that California would go republican by 60,000 votes. Republicans Win in Illinois. The republican national and state tickets have gained a complete victory in Illinois. Taft has carried the state by approximately 170,000 votes. Deneen, republican, for governor, ran far behind the national ticket, but has been elected by a plurality of about 100,000 over Adlai E. Stevenson, his democratic opponent. Deneen's greatest losses were suffered in Cook county, which is his home. Albert J. Hopkins will be reelected United States senator. Kansas Firmly Republican. The returns seem to substantiate the claims of the republican state committee that the entire republican state ticket, headed by Walter R. Stubbs for governor, has been elected by 25,000 plurality and that Taft's plurality is a few thousand votes larger. Taft Takes South Dakota. Scattering returns so far received indicate that Taft has carried South Dakota by from 10,000 to 15,000. The republicans claim to have elected their entire state ticket. Governor Folk Defeated. Returns from Missouri show that Governor Folk has probably been defeated by Senator Stone in the balloting for United States senator. Missouri for Bryan. Scattered returns indicate that Bryan has carried Missouri by 35,000 plurality. Taft Sweeps Bay State. The republican national and state candidates swept Massachusetts, and all 11 republican congressmen were reelected. Both branches of the legislature will be republican. Early estimates indicate a plurality for Taft of 120,000. Joe Canuon Reelected. Danville, Ill.—Joseph G. Cannon has been reelected to congress by a plurality considerably above the normal Nevada to the Democrats. Republican State Chairman Humphreys concedes Nevada to Bryan by 3000. West Virginia to Taft. Returns from West Virginia indicate a slight advantage for Taft, although the margin was so small that the state could still be claimed as doubtful. Johnson Wins Again. The indications are that Johnson carries Ramsey county (St. Paul) by 6500 and the state by at least 25,000, and Taft will carry Minnesota by 80,000. Taft 300,000 in Pennsylvania. Republican leaders claim Pennsylvania for Taft by more than 300,000 plurality. Iowa for Taft by 50.000. Meager returns from the state outside of Des Moines indicate that Taft has carried Iowa by from 30,000 to 50,000. The entire republican state ticket has been elected. Cummins has probably defeated Lacey for the United States senatorship. Wisconsin for Taft. The Sentinel claims the state for Taft and Davidson by an estimated plurality of 75,000. Taft Winner in Maryland. The latest republican advices are that Taft has carried Maryland by about 3000. Georgia for Bryan. Bryan has carried Georgia by the usual vote. South Carolina 60,000 Bryan. South Carolina will give-Bryan about 60,000 majority, while the state and congressional tickets are overwhelmingly democratic. Democrats Take Florida. The election in Florida resulted in the usual democratic majority of from 18,000 to 20,000. Bryan Sweeps Louisiana. Bryan swept Louisiana and the returns indicate a majority of 40,000. All seven democratic nominees for congress were elected. Complete democratic ticket will carry by a majority of at least 30,000. Taft in Rhode Island. Returns from 30 districts out of 161 in Rhode Island indicate that Taft has carried the state. Maine for Taft by 31.500. Maine gave Taft an estimated plurality of 31,500. Connecticut Vote for Taft Taft will carry Connecticut by over 20,000 on the fact of first returns. Lilley, republican, for governor was elected. Kansas Republican. Returns from Kansas indicate complete republican victory for W. R. Stubbs, republican, for governor; running slightly behind Taft. Chairman Dolley claims the state for the republicans by 25,000. Bryan Hears the News. Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 3.—William J. Bryan tonight received at his home, Fairview, the returns which early told him that for the third time he had been defeated in the greatest ambition of his life. Confident of victory to the very last, he was not prepared to believe that his cause was lost until the pluralities of his republican opponent piled up in such proportions as to leave no room for doubt. He carried his own precinct by 106 to 52 for Taft. Cincinnati to Honor Taft. As a personal tribute of esteem and respect the Cincinnati Commercial club Thursday night gave a dinner for Judge William H. Taft, who for many years has been a member of that organization. ROOSEVELT IS PLEASED. The President Congratulates Taft and Others. Washington, Nov. 3.—The president tonight sent the following dispatch to Judge Taft: "I need hardly say how heartily I congratulate you, and the country even more." He also sent the following dispatch to Representative Sherman: "I most heartily congratulate you." The president sent the following to Governor Hughes: "Accept my hearty congratulations for you and for the state." The following was sent to Chairman Hitchcock: "Accept my heartiest congratulations upon the great result which you have done so much to bring about." "Accept my hearty congratulations." No statement was made by the president on the result of the election tonight. Taft's Reply. Cincinnati, Nov. 3.—President Roosevelt's telegram to Judge Taft elicited the following reply: "Thank you for your telegram. Without any expression from you I would know how deeply interested you have been in my success and how much you rejoice in it. It is your administration that this victory affirms. "WILLIAM H. TAFT." SPENDS MILLION IN FOUR YEARS Young St. Louis Sport at Last Finds All His Effects Seized for St. Louis, Mo.—“Jimmy” O'Neil, elubman, bestower of big tips and price of St. Louis entertainers, in four years has so reduced his fortune of half a million dollars that attachments and levies on his property are hampering his intended removal to New York city. The O'Neil fortune of $1,000,000 or more when “Jimmy” shared it with his sister, Mrs. Elenor O'Neil Nolker, was made by their late father, Peter O'Neil, in the lumber trade, after its foundations had been laid in the restaurant business at the old union depot on Twelfth street. “Jimmy” O'Neil's hospitality is famous in the downtown cafes and elite bars of St. Louis. Every one's money but his was “counterfeit” when he was in a spending mood, and the stranger and chair warmer was as sure of a drink as an old college friend. Von Buelow Stays Berlin.—According to the Nord Deutsche Algemeine Zeitung, Prince von Buelow, the imperial chancellor, offered his resignation to Emperor William in consequence of the publication in London of the interview with his majesty, for which the prince took the responsibility. The emperor would not accept the chancellor's resignation and at the same time permitted Prince von Buelow to publish a full explanation so as to meet the unjustifiable attacks that have been made upon his majesty. Ontario Town Burned Smiths Falls, Out.—The town of Pembroke was devastated by fire Wednesday. Sixty buildings were destroyed. The loss is estimated at $500,000. Pembroke is a town of 5500 inhabitants. Gompers Won't Own Defeat "Temporarily defeated, but not conquered," is the way President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor viewed the election in a statement issued recently. Latest Returns New York, Nov. 4.—Returns received up to a late hour tonight indicate that William H. Taft of Ohio, as president, will have a vote of 309 in the electoral college. This is within 16 votes of the forecast made by Chairman Frank Hitchcock and 67 more than a majority of the total electoral vote of 483. If Missouri votes for Taft his total may reach 327. News of the late return indicates that Maryland, after vacillating during the day and apparently being safe for the democrats, has been swung into the Taft column. The unofficial figures give Mr. Taft the state by 136 votes. Indiana and West Virginia, as well as Montana, turned out to be safely republican. Colorado went for Bryan. If Missouri, which late developments place in the doubtful column, goes for Bryan, he will have a total of 174 votes, two less than he received in 1896. In 1904 Mr. Parker received only 140 votes, in 1900 Bryan received 155 votes and in 1896 the Nebraska received 176 votes. Mr. Taft's 309 electoral votes compare with 336 received by Roosevelt in 1904, 292 received by McKinley in 1900 and 271 received by McKinley in 1896. Majorities in Congress. No changes of material interest have been reported in the congressional returns today. The republicans will have about the same working majority in the Sixty-first congress as at present and Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois probably will succeed himself as speaker. Representative J. Overstreet of Indiana and Hepburn of Iowa are the conspicuous among those who have failed of reelection. The senate retains its present com plexion, although there will be a ma terial change in its personnel. States Carried by Bryan. The states certainly carried by Mr. Bryan are as follows: Alabama 11, Arkansas 9, Colorado 5, Florida 5, Georgia 13, Kentucky 13, Louisiana 9, Mississippi 10, Nevada 3, Nebraska 8, North Carolina 12, Oklahoma 7, South Carolina 9, Tennessee 12, Texas 18, Virginia 12. Total 156. All the rest of the states are safe for Taft, with the exception of Maryland and Missouri, where the issue is so close that an official count may be necessary finally to determine the result. Changes in Indiana A radical change in Indiana's representation in the national house of representatives was the most striking feature of the election. The latest unofficial returns complete give the democratic party 11 members and the republicans two. This is a gain of seven for the democrats, the former representation being nine republicans and four democratic members. William H. Taft carried the state for president, according to incomplete returns, by about 8000. Thomas R. Marshall and the entire democratic ticket are probably elected by a plurality around 15,000. Bryan Wins Nebraska. Returns on Tuesday's election, which, while far from complete, are sufficiently definite to confirm and emphasize the first report that the democrats have made a sweeping victory in Nebraska. Colorado for Democrats. The chairman of the republican state central committee admits that the trend of the count of Tuesday's vote in Colorado is toward a democratic victory. Washington Big for Taft. Taft's majority over Bryan in Washington will exceed 40,000, and is likely to reach the 50,000 predicted on the basis of the first returns received. S. G. Cosgrove, the republican candidate for governor, has had a veritable landslide, his majority over Pattison exceeding 40,000. The state elects three republican congressmen, and the legislature will send a republican to the United States senate to succeed Senator Ankeny. One hundred and fourteen complete precincts out of 117 in Spokane county give Taft 10,941, Bryan 6291, Debs 960 and Chafin 373. One hundred and eleven precincts complete give Poindexter for congress 10,592 and Goodyear 5977. The vote in King county at 12 o'clock Wednesday, with 16 county precincts and two city precincts to be heard from, follows: Taft 22,178, Bryan 13,912. All republican legislative candidates in Pierce county are elected. Returns from the counties comprising the Third congressional district show the election of Judge Miles ioindexter, republican, of Spokane, over William Goodyear of Colfax, by approximately 12,000. Republicans Claim Montana. The republicans swept Montana at Tuesday's election, carrying the state for William Howard Taft by an estimated plurality of 3000; elected Charles M. Pray to succeed himself in congress by an estimated plurality of 4500 and elected the entire republican state ticket, with the possible exception of the governor, by a plurality which will range from 1500 to 2500. Donlan, republican, will in all probability be the next governor of Montana. Oregon for Taft Returns received up to 6 o'clock Wednesday from Oregon give Judge Taft a lead of 26,617 over Bryan. Judge Dunne Is Reelected. San Francisco.—Judge Frank H. Dunne, who has tried many of the bribery and graft cases in this city, has been reelected. Rathdrum Loses County Seat. Coeur d'Alene, Idaho—Reports from all the precincts in the county, excepting Sanders, which has about 50 votes, give Coeur d'Alene the county seat by a vote of 6097 to 1955. Sanders will increase this majority by a few votes. London Press Pleased. London—The press of London regards the election of Taft as a matter for general and world-wide congratulation as it "insures the continuance of a policy" which has been greatly approved in England. "The policy which Mr. Taft has inherited." points out the Evening Standard, "is in a large measure accountable for the leap to the front made by America in recent years, and her present position as a power among the powers is due to an unusual extent to Mr. Taft's labors in close alliance with President Roosevelt."

The score at the end of the first half stood: Virginia Military institute 57, Roanoke college 0. The second half was not played. Saturday's game at Moseow between Idaho and Oregon is believed to set an absolutely unique record in modern football. It is not on record, for teams of any prominence at least, that a defeated team should score 21 points in a regulation contest of two 30-minute halves. Several years ago Kansas defeated Nebraska 36 to 20, Benedict, for Nebraska, scoring four goals from the field, but it is believed that 21 is a new record for a beaten team. Final score, 21 to 27. New Haven, Conn.—By a score of 49 to 0, Yale defeated the Massachusetts Agricultural college.

Physicians Recommend Castoria CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Health.

Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ill., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory." Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place." Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent." Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr. Wm. J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home." Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Castoria." GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of Charles H. Flitchers.
