One of the members of the committee wired the operator there for returns, not because the result could then be changed, but because it would be pleasant to know that this county had escaped the general wreck. The line was not answered. A second message was sent and still no reply. The third time the gentleman wired, ''send in the returns as quick as possible." The answer was flashed back over the wire, "there ain't any returns, every thing here has gone hell west and crooked for the Republicans."

REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET. Tie Strongest Ticket Presented in This County For Several Years. The Republican party this year of fers a ticket mvde up of some of the best men in the county representa tive men of the county and men who are recognized in their respective communities as honest, honorable business men. There never was a more harmonious convention held in the county than the convention that nominated the Republican ticket this year. The different townships through out the county were well represented In that convention. The best men were put forward and nominated and the nominations were fairly and justly made, giving each section a place on the ticket. The ticket this year is considered by everybody to be one of the strongest we have had in the county for twenty years. Uven tne Uemocrats admit this, and the leaders of the Democrat ic party in the county do not try to hide the fact that the show for their party is very slim. Now and then a Republican Is heard to say that he cannot vote for this or that man on the Republican ticket, but that Repub lican has a personal grievance with the nominee of whom he speaks. He will not vote for the candidate on the opposite ticket. He may scratch the name of the candidate he does not like but he will make no fight against the ticket. It is a man's privilege to vote as he plsases, but this is a year that every Republican should be pleased to stay with his party, and we believe the Re publicans of Cape Girardeau county are this year loyal to the Republican party and Republican principles and that very few will allow personal grievances to Interfere with the cast ing of their ballots for their party candidates. CLEVELAND SAYS IT'S ALL A LIE. Denies the Statement Attributed to Hi n by Philadelphia Paper. Princeton, N. J., October 30. Gro- ver Cleveveland, in regard to the Phil adelphia Times story, said this after noon: "The whole thing from beginning to end is an absolute lie. without the least foundation or shadow of truth. I have never uttered a word to any human being that affords the least pretext for such a mendacious state ment. I have already telegraphed the Philadelphia Times to that effect." The article in the Times to which former President Cleveland refers is a Princeton, N. J., dispatch in which he is credited with the statement that the election will result in a landslide for Bryan. The article also attributed to him a statement that the traveling men of the country are unanimous in their support of Bryan. His Theory. A novel explanation of the cause of thunder showers was once given a so journer in a little Nova Scotia town by one of the inhabitants. Do you know what makes thunder?'' the Nova Seotian inquired of his guest. "I've got a theory of my own, and I call it a pretty good one." "I should like .o hear it," was the diplomatic reply. "Well, said the host, slowly, "my idea is this: You know we hear about the air circulating and circulating all the time. My notion is that the pure air from above comes down here in the summer and gets foul with all the smoke and grease; and then the heat drives It up again into the clouds; and when it gets up there it's pressed on all around by the clouds coming to gether, and it explodes! That's my theory. Of course," he added, with becoming modesty, "other folks may have others." Thousands Sent Into Exile.
