SHISSLER CAPTURED.
Reported Arrested at Reno,
Nevada. This Week.
A rumor came in yesterday to
the effect that Harry Shissler had
been captured and was in jail at
Reno, Nevada. Simuler escaped
from the county jail here a little
over a year ago and has been at
liberty ever since. It was reported
good authority that Shissler
was at the Lewiston fair this fall.
From there he went to Pullman
and Spokane, where all trace of
him was lost. Sheriff Qreen is out
of town at present, and the deputy
at his office refuses to either deny
or confirm this report,
but little doubt, however, that it
is true.

EXCELLENT SYSTEM.
Nez Perce Go-operative Com
pany Builds Denver Line.
Geo. Edwards, the local lineman
of the Nez Perce Co-operative Tele
phone company, this week started
work on a line from here to Den
ver. He is employing a small
force of men in the work and the
line will be completed as soon as
possible. From there the force
will go on to Cottonwood where
they will make some extensive im
provements in the line them. The
company is to be complimented on
the appearance and general excel
lence of their telephone fixtures
here. All the poles in the principal
part of the city have |been painted
and present a decidedly metropo
litan appearance. The company
is giving the very best service with
Miss Lula Nickel as manager.
The company may erect lines to
White Bird and Stites also in the
near future.
POPULAR PLAY.
Gurtiss Dramatic Class Will
Stage "Tennessee's Pardner"
Mr. S. M. Curtiss announces
"Tennessee's Pardner." as the pro
duction to be staged by theCur
tiss Dramatic Class Thanksgiving
evening. The play is an old favor
ite of American theater-goers and
when staged by this company of
artists will deservedly draw one of
the largest houses iu the history of
the Armory. Mr. Curtiss has play
ed the leading part in the piece for
several seasons and under his able
direction, which every one knowB
is of the best, this popular play
will be worked up to perfection.
An excellent production may be
Uxiked for.
FATAL ILLNESS.
Mrs. Rosa Ruckman Dies With
Diphtheria.
Mrs. Rosa Ruckman, one of the
proprietors of the Hotel Commer
cial at 8tites, died last Sunday of
diphtheria. It was not known until
a few hours before her death that
the cause of her illnes was diphthe
ria and when it became generally
known there was a good deal of
anxiety. The schools were ordered
closed and for awhile it was
thought advisable to quarantine
the city. This, however, has not
been done. Mrs. Ruckman's daugh
ter, Francis, is also ill with the
disease but her case is not consid
ered dangerous.
Mrs. Ruckman has been a resi
dent of StiteB for several years and
was well known and respected
wherever she was known. The
remains were interred in the Stites
cemetery, Sunday afternoon.
New Management.
Men are now employed on the
repairing of the Pacific States Tele
phone company's line between
this city and Lewiston. The line
is to be improved in many ways.
The service lately has not been
good. H. B. Howde is in charge of
the work. At the local office a
change in the management took
place this week. Miss Hoffman,
the former manager, has accepted
a good position in Lewiston and
will leave next Sunday. Miss
Ruby Coveny has been appointed
manager of the office here and will
look after the affairs of the com
pany. The Misses Addie Genger,
Myrtle Bridge and Mande Benton
are also employed in that office.
Con Wilson is the local lineman at
present.
,i
A Musical Nov. 16th.
The first semi-annual recital
given by the pupils of Mrs. Reese
Hattabaugh will be given at the
Armory Friday evening, Nov. 16th.
Choruses and Qnartete will be
rendered. The solos consist of sel
ections by best composers. These
selections will be rendered by pupils
that have completed six months
study.
The program will be inter
spersed with special readings by
Miss Gertrude McCauley, an elo
cution^ of recognised ability.
Events of this character 'are too
rare in Orangeville and will doubt
less receive the patronage of the
music loving public.
DEMOCRATS
GET BIG SHARE

I
Radical Changes Over Results of T10
Tears Ago.
i. I. OVERMAN GETS BIGGEST VOTE
is
of
of
of
ity
of
Fulton, Nash, Greenough and
Griffith Also Win.
As is usually the case, the elec
tion was a surprise to the people.
Some predicted a republican major
ity, but most voters expected a de
cidedly mixed ticket to be chosen
at the polls.
In most places over the county,
and particularly here on the prairie
the weather kept a good many
voters from appearing at the voting
places. The vote at this election
was very light and a good many
unlooked for conditions are the re
sult. While the votes are not all
in at present, the chances fora
democratic victory in almost every
instance, is good. The contest for
the auditorship of the county was
expected to be the keenest of the
election, but J. I. Overman, the
democratic candidate, received the
largest majority of any candidate
on either ticket. Here in Grange
ville, especially, the contest for
this office was supposed to be ex
tremely close bnt Overman carried
the city with a good majority.
There are forty six voting precincts
in the county and the unofficial
returns received late last night from
thirty-one of them give majorities
to candidates as follows: Gooding,
rep., 82; Hattabaugh, dem. 21;
Nugent, rep., 16; Painter, rep., 22;
Williams, dem., 127; Cassell, dem.
270; Overman, dem., 852; Fulton,
dem., 349; Griffith, dem., 379;
Nash, dem., 434; Brown, rep., 79;
Hancock, dem., 79; Greenough,
dem., 137; Hpedden, rep., 234;
Butler, rep., 179; Martin, rep,, 17;
Bentz, rep., 133;
Of the 15 precincts not yet beard
from, most of them are in the
mountainous districts and none of
them will poll a very large vote.
Last election most of them went
republican, but by small majorities.
In view of the fact that most all
the precincts have gone demo
cratic this year, those unheard
from are expected to give about an
even vote. Democratic headquar
ters, however, expect the majori
ties of the democratic candidates
to grow steadily as the reports
come in.
There are two precincts in the
Thunder Mountain country and it
will probably take several days to
obtain the complete returns from
these precincts. The telephone
line to Buffalo Hump was down the
morning after election and do re
turns could be received from there.
Elk City will probably poll the
largest vote of any of the precincts
not yet heard from.
Overman for auditor is sure of
winning; Griffith for county attor
ney, Nash for assessor, Greenough
for superintendent of schools, Ful
ton for probate judge, all are
elected. All are democratic candi
dates. The majorities at present
of the following republican candi
dates seem to make their success
practically certain: Brown for
sheriff, Spedden for surveyor and
Butler, Martin and Bentz for
county commissioners. The con
test for coroner has been extremely
close but the democratic candidate,
E. 8. Hancook, seems to have the
better prospects.
At present the democrats have
the better of it on the legislative
ticket. Their candidates, Williams
and Cassell, each have good ma
jorities. Painter, republican, has
a majority of but 22 votes. Nu
gent, republican candidate for state
senator, hae but 16 votes to the
good. While the number of votes
from the precincts from which re
turns have not yet been received
is sufficiently large to materially
hange the results in several cases,
those named above have good
chances of success.
The republican state ticket will
carry the county by about 100 ma
jority if present conditions con
tiuue. Goodingfor governor hos a
majority of 82. The other candi
dates are all running about the
same in the county with the ex
ception of French, candidate for
congress. His opponent on the
democratic ticket is M. Reese Hat
tabangh, an Idaho county boy,
who has a majority over French of
21 votes. It was expected by
many that Hattabaugh would poll
many more votes here in the connty
than the election returns show.
Here in town the voting was not
very exciting, but by noon people
began coming in from outside pre
cincts and a good crowd was on
the streets until late at night. The
at
A
! returns were received at both tele
phone offices and were read from
I the stage at the opera house. The
largest crowds were assembled at
these places. Riggs' Concert Band
played several selections on the
streets in the afternoon.
The election of two justices of
the peace and a constable here in
town resulted in L. Vinyard and
James Woodward being elected for
justices and Harry Wallis for con
stable.
EASTERN ELECTION
Democrats are Gainers in the
East.
From returns which have been
received from the outside the elec
tion this year shows democratic
gains in most of the states. In
New York, where the contest is
usually the hottest, Hears!, the
democratic candidate for governor,
is probably defeated by about 30,
000 majority, while the majority
of the democratic state ticket is
elected. Missouri is again in the
democratic column with a majority
of 8000. Thirteen democratic con
gressmen we|*e elected in this state.
Reports show that Colorado, Mon
tana, Washington and California
have all g|ne republican. All
over the country the returns show
strong democratic congressional
gains.
STATE js REPUBLICAN.
Entire State Ticket Is Elected
by Over 7000.
Returns received up to the time
of going to press, show gains over
the Btate for the republican candi
dates. Govj Gooding has a major
ity of 7000 and the rest of the
ticket has to its credit a majority
of 12000. r lfl
republicans will have about 13 of
the 21 senators in the state senate
and about 35 of the 51 members of
the two houses, aud insuring the
election of W.
Senator.
