WORE REPrBLIcAN VICTORIES.

While the Chicago fire has been the
absorbing topic of the day, little heed has
been given to the great Republican vie
tories in Pennsylvania and Ohio. The
dispatches say that the Republican ma.
jority in Philadelphia is 1922. The state
has gone Republican by at least 10000
majority. There is Il Republican MAORI.
~ in both houses. The Republican ma.
jority in Ohio will be over 20, 900. The
legislature will be Republican.

JuAREZ iNArGuRATED, Oct. 2.-Juarcz
was installed President last night. There
is much excitement. There asv rumOrs
of Il change in the cabinet. All is quiet
here. The Presidents message is con-
tiliatory, but firm. 1t recommends i'm
provements, and the buildings Of rail
roads, and sanctions the making OF trea-
ties with foreign nations. The President
ms 4 majority IN Congress, but another
revolution, however. has begun in the
State of Ncuva Leon. General Pedro
Martinez has pronounced against the
Juarez movement, and the State author
tiles, and several chicftains, have joined
the movement. Their combined forces
are said to be marching on Carmargo
and Matamoras, with view of occupy
ing the custom house Oh the frontier.
The first step taken by the government
at Neuva, was to throw into prison all
employees of the Federal Government.
1t is expected that the revolution will
become general. The Matamorsls from
tier is yet quiet, but Gen. Palermo Cor
tinas has issued proclamation. urging
Il fight for Juarez, and great preparations
are being made at MatamOras for de-
tense. All cavalry has left for the front.
Great excitement is reported from all
parts of Mexico.

We have spent an hour or two in look
ing through the advance sheets Of the
census report, so lar as they relate Ia
Kansas. The statistics Of population arr
OF great interest to all who watch the
growth Of our grand young State. TAX
ing the State BY counties, end Leaven-
worth leads, having population of g.,
IA; Douglas comes next with 2O,592
Atehison is third with Lee, while Bour-
bon follows close after, having 1906.
Doniphan, Johnson and Shawnee come
next in rank, having respectively 3D.
96s, 1864 and 1921. Among the
twelve thousands arc jefferson and Linn,
the former having 1886, and the latter
1914. There are two in the elevens-
Miami with LIS, and Cherokee, with
II, O3s. Among the tens are Franklin,
with 1895; Neosho, with 10, 206, and
Wyandotte, with 1905.
In 1850 the leading counties in pOpu-
lation stood in the following order !:
Leavcnworth, 1906; Douglas, 1857 ;
Doniphan, S,0S3; Atchison, 7,729 Linn
$685.; Bourbon, 6,l0l; Miami, 1880 (;
Jefferson, 4, 459 +; johnson, 1854. From
this it will be seen that AtchisOn, which
WAS then fourth, is now third, while
Bourbon, which was sixth, is now fourth.
Doniphan, which held the third rank,
has now fallen to the fifth.
The cities Of the State stand i'm the fol-
lowing order: Leavcnworth, 1873 !;

Ing the Congressional township, is put
down at 1859.
Some of the most remarkable instances
of growth are to be found in the south
ern counties, which were nearly or quite
unknown to the census Of 1860. Thus
we have Cherokee, with IL ,03S; Labette,
with 9,937 Crawford, with S,160; NeO-
>ho, with l0,205; Wilson, with 1904 !;
and Montgomery, with 1854.
The total population of the State in
1870 was 364 800. OF this number, 346,-

9l4 Indian. OF the total population,
3l6,0OS are native born, and ~, 395

RUINED CHICAGO!

About noon, on Monday last, the
greatest and most terrible confagration
that ever happened in America, broke
out in the City Of Chicago, and wiped
out the business portion of the city. The
fire commenced in a planning mill, which
was surrounded by large number OF
wooden buildings, and ragged with I'M
abatcd fury until the best portion of the
city was destroyed. A gale of wind pre-
vailed during the whole time, and the
fire fiend rushed about, almost melting
down structures of all kinds. Lumber
yards, coal yards, railroad depots, ware
houses, hotels, banks, wholesale houses,
churches, the court house, and, in fact,
the wealthiest and by far the best por-
ton of the city is in ruins. Men rich in
their millions but short time since,
have nothing to-day. \ hundred thou
sand people are without homes. Every
newspaper Office in the city is destroyed.
Many lives have been lost in the flames,
and many have gone down into the burn.
ing cauldron. whose names may never be
known. The fire was finally quelled on
Tuesday afternoon. The loss Is cstima.
mated at over sS00,00O,O00. Long
years may elapsc, before Chicago may
recover from this shock. Its effects
are felt in commercial circles all over
the world.
Large cities have contributed vast
amounts of money ana aid to the suit
ferers, while nearly all towns in III,
west are doing all in their power TO con.
tribute their mites.

.The weaker SEX

A late writer boldly disputes the
proverbial phrase which describes
woman IA 1.-THE weaker seS.n lie
perhaps it Is she-says the weaker sex
is man. Who ever heard of IA woman
giving herself ZIP to drink on aecoiint
of reverse in fortune? But how many
ffien become confirmed driankarels from
no better eafse ? One of the excuses
of mans drinking is. that lie can not
resist temptation. Women have some
times the sanie temptation, but. not
being so weak, they can resist.
Again: women bear pain with great
err fortitude. They dare to have
cancers removed and many other fear
ful operations performed without being
made insensible by aIlpstheticS while
men most invariably take choloro-
form. or something of the kind. re-

FacetIous Hints to Musicians.

The irrepressible punster of the
Boston Commercial Bulletin says:
Learn if possible to play the organ,
before doing which it will become
thorough i'll the art OF punctuation, so
that you will find uo difficulty in learn
ing the stops.
When yon begin to compose you
should be quite composed and when
YOU have completed a piece, fry it on
the piano; if it should prove too small,
make a larger piece.
II You find the piano is not your
forte, try some other Instrument
jewslarp or triangle. for instance.
Avoid orgsln swells--they put OIL
airs.
Always stick to the right pitch if
you are violinist, make your own
fiddlestick. unless you are one of the
beafax for the time.
You cannot catch fish with a clario-
net, nor get any marrow out of a
trombone.
You may get plenty of notes from
an orchestra, although it don't go
a-loan. but has leader; generally a
very fast man. for he beats time.

Don't HURRY. believe i'm travel
hing on step by step: don't expect to
be rich in jump. Slow and sure rs
better than fast and fiinsy. Persever-
anee, by its daily gains, enricles Il
man far more than by fits and starts
pf fortunate speculation. Little fish
are sweet. Every day a thread makes
"a skein in a year. Brick by brick
houses are built. We should creep be-
fore we walk, walk before we run,
and run before we ride. In getting
rich the more haste the worse speed.
Haste trips tsp IT'S own heels. Don t
give TIP a sfffan business till you see
that ii larger one will pay you better.
Even crumbs are bread. Better a
little furniture than an empty house.
tsi these hard times he who can sit OH
Il stone and feed himself had better not
move. 4 crust is hard fare, but none
ut an is harder. Don't jump out of
the frying-pan into the fire. Remem-
bess many men have done well i'm very
slnall shops. 4 little trade with profit
is better than great concern at loss ;
Il small fire that warns you is better
than a large fire that burns YOU. A
great deal of water can be got from a
small pipe If the bucket is always there
to .cttesl it. Large hares may be
caught in small woods. \ sheep may
tat in a small meadow, and starve in a
great desert. He who undertakes too
nltsch succeeds but little.
