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.

Farmers Institute.
Was held in Keener's hall Tuesday.
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. Spare Moments.

MARY ANDERSON'S WAY.
IZow She Settled a Stage Masher In
Short Order.
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.
