"A'ftkr three years' hard work and
the expenditure of between $15,003,000
and $l0,0f-0,000, New Orleans has final

Facial massage is now the correct
thing for the man who prides himself
on being well groomed, the San Fran

. An Italian paper published in New

1,000,000 Italians in the United States.
One-third of them are settled in the
principal cities. Half of these are la

They are hard and steady workers,
very saving, and anxious to improve
themselves."
It was stated that the deaths in Chi
cago from apoplexj', heart disease and
nervous troubles had increased 60 per

The Abbot voting machine was used
m the election at Hudson, Mich, and
the result in that city was known soon
er than in any other part of the coun
try. The machine was legalized by
(he last Michigan legislature and the
iest it was put to in the springelections
was in every degreo satisfactory. The

cational experiment near the little
.town of St. Anne, 111., some 00 miles
tnuth of Chicago, that is sure to be
talked of the world over if anything
like success is accomplished. This ex
periment is known as the People's uni

The second assistant postmaster-general
says in his annual report that the
experiments with horseless wagons to
be tried this winter will, it is hoped,
prove successful, and they are expect
ed to be much less expensive than
hore wagons. He also says that at
the larire depots small sub-post offices
should be established in charge of reg

A recent dispatch from New York
aid that one of the first effects of Mr.
McKinley's election is to stimulate the
import trade: in anticipation of a high
tariff bill. Contingent orders were
placed in England and on thecontinent
weeks ago, and it is probable that Eu
ropean goods will be rushed into the
American market this winter in suf
ficient quantities to meet the demand
for two or three years to come. If
the country should have a high tariff
the importers will reap a harvest by
beatintr the bill and filling the bonded
warehouses with foreign goods within
the next three months.
The Scientific .American gives this
recipe which the whole world ouirht to
know: At the first indication of diph
theria in the throat of a child, make
the room close, then take a tin cup
and pour into it a quantity of tar and
turpentine, equal parts. Then hold
the cup over a fire, to as to fill the
room with fumes. The little patient,
ob inhaling the fumes, will cough up
and spit out all the membranous mat
ter, and the diphtheria will pass out.
The fumes of the tar and turpentine
loosen the matter in the throat, and
thus afford the relief that has baffled
the skill of physicians.

W. P. St. John, treasurer of the
democratic national committee and
chairman of the national committee of
the silver party, in discussing the re
sults of the election said that the
people had declared themselves unmis
takably and the next four years should
amply test the single gold standard in
the United States and the silverites in
the senate ought not to stand in the
way of legislation by the majority.
Senator John Sherman gave out a
signed statement at Mansfield, O., on
the 5th stating that he hoped the pres
ent gold standard would be main
tained with the largest use of silver
that could be maintained at a parity
with gold; that prompt changes should
be made in the tariff laws to supply
money for the current expenses of the
government, to create a surplus to pay
outstanding bonds and to protect
American industries.
Mr. Brtan sent the following tele
gram from Lincoln, Neb., on the 5th

ent leanings.

subject, and before the year 1000 he
thinks the people will be ready to de
mand the free coinage of silver at the
ratio sixteen to one without waiting

tion. The New York Herald said on the

for the election of 1900. The directors
of the American Bimetallic union, who
constitute the bulk of the silver leaders
in three parties, have decided to main
tain headquarters in Washington, from
which to send out literature.
Senator Butler, chairman of the
people's party national committee, has
issued a manifesto to the people of the
United States, giving an analysis of
the reasons why the silver forces met
with defeat, criticising the money
power, lauding the populist party and
stating his fears that a gold standard
administration cannot bring- prosperity
to the wage worker, and that during
the next four years the people's party
will be the nucleus around which all
patriots will gather.

but by not less than 10,000.
Blissonri Heavily Democratic.
St. Louis, Nov. 6. Missouri" will
give a heavy majority for the demo
cratic elecors, estimated at 50,000 to

plurality of McKinley over Bryan
promises to exceed 303.000 in the state.
Bryan Safe iu North Carolina.
Ralkigh, N. C, Nov. 6. The presi
dential t'eket in this state appears to
have been fleeted for B-yan by a ma
jority of from 5,000 to 10,000.
North Dakota for (..old.
Bismarck. N. D., Nov. 6. The repub

Oregon Probably Republican.
Chicago, Nov. 6. A Tribune special
from Portland, Ore., says: McKinley
has carried Multnomah county by 5,000
majority. Reports indicate a very
heavy vote throughout the state. It is
thought Bryan will come to Portland
with a very small plurality. McKin
ley has certainly carried the state by a
small plurality.
Pennsylvania's Vote.
Philadelphia, Nov. C Estimates
from every county in the state give
McKinley an apparent plurality of
2CG.950. The great size of the ticket
made counting necessarily slow, and
the estimates in many counties are un
doubtedly below the actual republican
pluralities. There is every reason to
believe that the official returns will
show a plurality for McKinley of
nearly 280.000.
Rhode Island Overwhelmingly Republican.
Providence, R. 1., Nov. 0. The state
has given McKinley an overwhelming
majority. The democrats themselves
admit McKinley has a plurality of 15,
000, while the republicans claim 25,000.
Sonth Dakota Republican.
Yankton.S. D., Nov. 6. The returns
mostly complete on presidential, con
gressional and state tickets, are in
from all organized counties and after
making liberal allowances for possible
votes in unorganized counties and a
few remote districts in the Black Hills,
McKinley has bitween 600 and 800 ma
jority. Tennessee Still Donbtf uL
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 6. The
news from the state so far received
leaves the result of the gubernatorial
race still in doubt. A complication of
figures, official and unofficial, and in
cluding such parts of all counties as
were received, shows an advantage for
Tillman, republican.
Texas Sore for Bryan.
Dallas, Tex., Nov. 6. The count is
slow, nothing official can be obtained
yet, but it is estimated that Bryan will
carry the state by nearly 50,000, with
the democratic slate ticket somewhat
behind. .
Utah Democratic by 15.0O0.
. Salt Lake, Nov. 6. Utah gave
15,000 for Bryan.
Vermont's Republican Majority.
Monti'klik!!, Vr., Nov. G. Returns
from the state were completed very
slowly. The republican majority was
about 60 per cent, greater than 1893,
but it fell away from the September
plurality, being about 35,000.
Virginia Democratic by 25,000.
. Richmond, Va., Nov. G. Returns are
still coming in slowly, but Bryan's ma
jority will reach 25,000. Eight demo
cratic congressmen are certainly elect
ed. The republicans probably carry
the Ninth and Tenth districts.
Itryan Carries Washington.
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 6 Bryan has
carried Washington by 10.000 and up
wards and every man on the fusion
free silver slate ticket has been
elected. Sullivan (rep.), gubernatorial
candidate, concedes his defeat. John
Rogers, the successful candidate has
won by about 5.0OII
West Virginia Repnbllcan.
WnEKUXG. W. Va., Nov. 6.
West Virginia is confidently claimed
by the republicans, and the chairman
of the democratic state committee has
conceded the state to McKinley.
Republicans Sufe in Wisconsin.
Chicago, Nov. 6. George W. Peck,
of Milwaukee. Wis., wired the Associ
ated press as follows this morning:
"McKinley has carried Wisconsin by a
comfortable majority. Schofield for
governor will no doubt pull through
very close to McKinley. Both of them
and every other republican I have
heard from will have a majority
enoueh to be considered safe, say
100,000."
Wyoming Very Close.
Chetenne, Wyo., Nov. 6. Sixty-six
precincts in this state, 13 of which
were democratic and 53 republican in
the last election, are yet to be heard
from, and will probably show a repub
lican majority of 610. One McKinley
elector and the republican candidate
for supreme judge are elected. There
is a strong probability that the two
remaining McKinley electors and re
publican congressmen will be elected
by from 300 to 500 plurality.
Senator Tillman in Good Spirits.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 6. Senator Ben
Tillman, of South Carolina, passed
through the city yesterday afternoon
en route home from Chicago. He was
interviewed by a Journal reporter.
The senator was in good spirits, al
though he conceded the victory of Mc
Kinley. He declares the fieht for free
silver has only been started and will
be continued. Bryan, he said, would
be the democratic nominee in 1900 and
would certainly win.
Imprisonment Commuted.
Washington, Nov. 6. The president
has commuted to three years and six
months imprisonment the five year
sentence imposed on Alonzo B. Craw
ford, in the western district of Mis
souri, for embezzlement, false entries
in banks and false reports to the comp
troller of the currency.
Will Open Abandoned Stations.
St. Joseph, Ma. Nov. 6. Officials o!
the St Joseph & Grand Island railway
announce that they expect to reopen
all of the 11 stations, which were closed
along their line two years ago, owing
to the stringent times. n.
KANSAS FOB BRYAff.
The Sunflower State Carried by
Anti-Republican Forces.
Bryan's Majority In the State May Reach
15,000 Leedy a IJttle Under That
Figure The Legislature Is
Largely Populist.
Topeka, Kan.. Nov. 6. According to
the returns from 9G counties in Kansas
at fusion headquarters wh'ch the man
agers claim are reliable, Leedy's ma
jority is 7,710. The other nine coun
ties to hear from they .say wiil swell
that majority probably 500 votes. The
republican managers have but little
hope for their state ticket. While they
claim that it looks very much like a
fusion victory they say that the elec
tion is so close that Morrill may pull
through. The governor, however, has
given up, as well as the other state
officers.
This makes the slump in Kansas
complete, except for the election of
republican congressmen in the First
and Fourth districts, and a bare possi
bility of the election of Harris in the
Second. It is the most stunning de
feat that the republican party ever
suffered in the Sunflower state. The

this winter will stand as follows: Sen
ate Populists, 27; republicans, 11;
democrats, 2. House Populists, 69;
republicans. 45; democrats, 7; free sil
ver republicans, 4. This gives the
populists 96 votes on joint ballot, 13
more than a majority over all other
other parties combined. While the re
publicans have not heard from all the
precincts, they do not question the leg
islative claims of their opponents.
Case Broderick will have a large plu
rality for congress in the First district.
Every county declared for him. Doni
phan gave him 1,295 plurality; Potta
watomie, 145; Atchison, 710; Jefferson,
about 100; Nemaha, 93; Leavenworth,
about 200; Brown, nearly 300, and Jack
son about 200. This runs his plurality
up to over 3,000.
J. P. Harris came up from Ottawa
last night. He refuses to concede the
election of Peters, the populist, to con
gress. Returns at his headquarters
placed him only three votes behind,
and while here he has received a mes
sage from his manager, stating that
a mistake of ten votes in his favor
had been discovered in a township in
Franklin county. If this is correct,
Mr. Harris . says . he is elected.
The result depends upon Wyandotte
county. If the final count there gives
him any margin at all, he is elected.
Col. Harris got a majority in only two
other counties in the district. Miami
going against him by 225, Franklin by
104, Anderson by 174, Linn by 275,
Bourbon by 330 and Johnson by 114.
Douglas and Allen gave him majori
ties. The Capital claims the election
of Harris by a plurality of 59.
E. R. Ridgely's plurality over S. S.
Kirltpatrick for congress in the Third
district is very large. Only Chautau
qau gave Kirkpatrick a majority, and
that only of G7. Neosho went 391 for
Ridgely; Montgomery, 49; Cherokee,
1,430; Cowley, nearly 400; Labette,
about 400, and each of the other coun
ties a larger or smaller majority.
Chairman Breidenthal concedes the
re-election of Charles Curtis in the
Fourth district by 463 votes. Shawnee
gave a good majority for Curtis, but it
was far below the one usually civen.
Butler gave 494 majority to Madden;
Chase. 189 to Midden; Coffey a small
majority to Madden; Greenwood, 152
to Madden; Lyon,4S7 to Madden; Wood
son, 150 to Curtis; Morris, 43 to Curtis;
Marrion 565 to Curtis, and Wabaunsee,
a small majority to Curtis.
Congressman Calderhead has been
defeated in the Fifth district by W. D.
Vincent, of Clay Center, by a narrow
margin. Indications are that Vincent
will have about 500 plurality. Clay
gave Vincent 300; Cloud, 352; Geary, 67;
Dickinson, 25; Ottawa. 200; Saline, 547.
Calderhead carried Marshall by 335,
Republic by 136, Riley by 200 or 300,
Washington by 146.
In the Sixth district McCormick
(pop.) has a majority of about 2,500
over A. H. Ellis for contrress.
The exact plurality of Simpson over
Long in the Seventh district will not
be known for some days, but it will be
close to 2,500. Long's managers con
cede 2,300 adverse majority.
