Everything First Class. Election Notes. The full returns for this county are ir and show that the entire county ticket has been elected by the repub licans, with majorities ranging from 156 for McCarty down to 8 for Manuel. We have been unable to get the full vote by precincts as cast for each candidate, but will have it next week. This campaign was emphatically one of candidates, and does uot show any thing as to the sentiment of the people on national questions. The repub licans are especially pleased at the vote for Bishep, as they fignre that they will be able to convince the dem ocrats that the populists did not tote fair with the democrats. It is un doubtedly true that many populists did not vote for Mr. Bishop on ac count of a . certain letter which he caused to be published in the Mercury, but it is equally true that the demo crats, for some reason best known to themselves, did not support him. This is particularly apparent when the vote of the strong democratic precincts is considered. We have no apologies to make for our defeat. The repub lican candidates are elected and we are willing to let it go at that, and oxily refer to the other matter as the republicans are already trying to fo ment trouble along that line. The Republican majorities were: Aderhold, 37; McCarty, 156; Kettle son, 143; Avery, 65; Manuel, 8; Burt, 58; Bridges, 48. The populists and democrats elected trustees in Wayne, Belpre, Lincoln, Franklin, Trenton; the republicans in Brown, Kinsley, Logan and Jackson. In the last two precincts there was no contest, as the candidates nominated by the repub licans were satisfactory to all parties. So the result shows that where there was a contest we carried five precincts and the republicans two. We are not in the poultry business this week, as we consider it extremely bad taste to crow over our opponents, and so have loaned all of our roosters to the opposition. They seem to want to crow, but if they will extend their horizon they will find they have not so very much to crow over after all. Boston went democratic for the first time in three years. The fusionists elected sheriff commissioner in Ford county. and Sumner and Wyandotte counties went back into the fusion ranks Tues day. Hodgeman county could not stand so nuch prosperity any longer and flopped clear over into the populist ranks this year. t The republicans will put In the next three weeks trying to. show that the results in this state are a gain for them. The figures won't show it. The fusionists elected everything in Pawneo county but clerk and regis ter of deeds. Whitney was elected clerk by about six votes and Aldrich was elected sheriff by the fusionists by about ISO. The fusion forces tore things loose in Kiowa county and elected the sher iff and clerk. Possibly republicans may side-track McKinley yet after they have fully sized up and digested the vote cast last Tuesday. Thegains by the opposition to the republicans in many parts of the state have been heavy, and can hardly be considered as being an endorsement of McKinley in his policy of increased taxation for the support of a large standing army. ' Marylaud has gone back into tho democratic camp,- Nebraska has in creased her fusion majority very largely,' Massachusetts gives demo cratic eains, Philadelphia shows . a loss of 40,000 to the republicans, and in lact, wherever there has been a state campaign there has been in the vote opposing the national administration i a large increase. . Jeffries deieated Sharkey recently, and so still holds the pugilistic cham pionship of the world. The municipal pawn phbp idea has been put into effect in Chicago. Only 1 per ceut a month is charged on per sonal property. A Hoboken man recently defeated a bull dog in a sausage-eating contest. The dog is most to be commended, as he undoubtedly stopped when he had enough. We will now await with interest the appointment of the census supervisors. The probabilities are that many dem ocrats will be appointed with a view to making them into republicans for next year. We hardly think they can bo bought that way, and then what will the fellows say who have been doing all of the work. The bicycle trust has begun to man ifest prosperity by discharging 7,000 employes. Now when a slight ad vance in wages is made we will be told thnt it is an evidence of pros perity. It will be rather hard to make any of the 7,000 see it that way. In the meantime the farmer pays a little higher for everything he buys. One of the many ruuny things con nected with the election Tuesday was the fact that Mr. Stanley, of Wichita, forgot to register and when he went home to vote found that he was not on the list of eJigibles, so had his trip from Topeka for nothing. It is doubt ful if his old friends down there even allowed him to holler with them. Wallace, of Kingman, who has had the temerity to shie bis hat into the ring , for the republican nomination for congress from this district, has run up against a snag, in the shape' of the bosses, who notified him that if he continued in the game 'it would be at the price of his official head. He re fused to bow to the yoke and was promptly decapitated. He was hold ing the position of deputy internal revenue collector. He has been noti fied that he is removed and his suc cessor appointed. A Rat's TaiL There are more muscles in the tail of a raL than in the hand cf a man. Just think how many muscles that must be. Look at your hand and count how many movements you can make with it. Every finger can be moved forward and backward and from side to side, every joint has its own separ ate movements, the wrist can be mov ed in any direction you please, and for each little motion there is a separate set of little muscles, each one of whieh will do just" what you want it to do. The rat's long tail is just as handy to him as our hands are to us. By its use he crawls along narrow ledges and holds on tightly with -v. He uses it, too, in jumping, and can jump to a great height, for a rat, in his way. Ssble Island Disappearing.' Ti thse who regard, the world cs already finished and quite rounded oi'f e announcement that Sable isl.in J. seme eighty-five miles east of Nova Scotia, is sinking, comes as a some what startling piece of news. But as a matter of fact, this island, which has become so noted a menace to trans Atlantic commerce that it i3 known as the "ocean graveyard," has been steadily sinking for the past 100 years. It has decreased in length from for:y to twenty-two miles, and naturally, ss It grows smaller, the fury of the sea makes . a greater . impression upon it and hastens its disappearance. Within another . century it may be only an ocean reef, and then be more danger ous than before in the paih of ships. "rx-? Q iVreicta. Ke Do you remember the niht . Proposed to you? She Ye3. dear.

Quite a number of our wide-awake farmers were in attendance. Professor H. M Cottrell gaye a lecture on feed ing and'the kinds of feed best adapted to Kansas, making special mention of alfalfa hay, kaffir corn and the new drouth resisting crop for Kansas, soy beans. The professor told us the soy bean was imported from Japan and as the island is so dsnsely populated, there being little or no room for cat tle to supply beef steak, the laboring class was forced to substitute some thing in its place, and said the soy bean contained the same nutriment. The professor also gave a lengthy talk on the 'great prfiot the Kansans could obtain in feeding alfalfa hay and kaffir corn grain. He said the alfalfa hay was rich in the beef, pork and milk producing substance known as protein. He told us that the prop er proportions of these two feeds make a perfectly ballanced ration, but where it is impossible to raise alfalfa' the soy bean, which will stand the drouth as well as cane or kaffir corn, will do almost as well to make the ballanced ration. He also said the chinch bug or grasshopper will not touch it; that the soy bean left the ground in good condition for the following crop of grain and will give an increase of from four to six bushels more wheat to the acre. Professor Hainey told us hw to feed skim milk to calves and how the col lege way of feeding gave two pounds gain per day. He said the best way feed the creamery skim milk was to fted it warm, about the temperature of fresh milk, and feed it alone; never mix grain, oil meal or chop of any kind with the milk. Have feed box in a convenient place and put corn meal or kaffir corn meal in the box dry ( kaffir corn meal perfered). He said mjre calves were killed every year by mixing the feed in the milk than any other way and urges that the foregoing advice be carried out in all cases. Prof. Hainey also gave a long talk on feeding and fattening hogs, which showed splendid results. Those pres- eut were well paid for the time spent and asked the professors to come again, promising them a large crowd. Didn't Seem Possible. "I don't understand the case of this young man who went through a for tune in three months," he said, looking 'tj from his newspaper. "Xhy not'" she asked. "He wasn't married," he nswered.

Mary Anderson Navarro had prob ably a more persistent fight Against . the wealthy stage masher than any woman in the profession who -confined herself to the "strictly legitimate." says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Early In her career she wa3 playing in HarW ford and was entertained by a num ber of the literary people there, head ed by Charles Dudley Warner, all ot whom had the greatest admiration for her genius. At one of these "af tar coons" she met a howling swell of the city and behaved graciously to him; On the strength of this tta young fel low ordered a big supper at a leading restaurant and asked a nuraber of his friends to meet Miss Anderson, whom she certainly would not have met un der any other circumstances. Then, during the last act of the performance, a messenger was sent to bid the fair actress to the feast. To the mortifi cation of her host and amusement of his guests the messenger came back with only a verbal message that "Miss Anderson was not on a foraging ex- , oedition." The value of rubies below the rtght of 1 carat ranges frcm $10 to $40 per carat, while stones of greater weight than 4 carats are of such exceptional occurrence as to command, fancy prices. When a perfect ruby of 5 carats is brought into the market ten times as much will be offered for it as for a diamond of the same weight. The sup posed largest ruby known is one brought from China, which now forms a part of the imperial crown jewels of bies ever known in this country were brought here in 1875. One was a dark colored stone, cushion shape, weighing 27 carats; the other a -4)lunt stone, drop shape, of 47 1-6 carats. The smaller stone, it i3 affirmed, sold for abcut $50,000, while the larger one found a purchaser on the continent at $100,000. F. IJ. IIink. Cash ikk. A. M. Mekkyman, 'Aw''j Ca' HE- ? T O R F. H.
