il certain, however, to be between 800
and 400 votes. For county clerk.
Dir. Sam }. Humm is the successful man.
His majority is about one hundred. Mr..
ilumm has reason TO be proud Of his vic
tory. The fight against him was bitter
and he had many obstacles to contend
with. For assessor and treasurer, Jack
Alden has majority Of somewhere be ,
tween 800 and 900 votes. Tom Halli-
day succeeds Tom Wilson as county
commissioner. II is not certain that Mr..
Halliday had any opposition in the race.
Ills majority is somewhere between l.
200 and 1900 votes. Mrsr p.
A. Taylor is reelected county
Superintendent Of Schools by perhaps
800 majority. For coroner Dick Fits
gerald comes out of the race between 100
and 200 votes ahead, and he will make an
excellent officer.
The proposition 10 levy a special tax
for the purpose OF building a county
road between Cairo and Unity received
a majority Of abeut $50 IN the city, but
the opposition to 1t in the country seems
to have been large, AMI the
proposition Ia probably lost. This,
however, is only supposi-
lion, but IL Is certain that il carried at all
1t will be by very small majority. The

1t is therefore probable. though the record
Is silent concerning it, that Elijah was
authorized by Jehovah to institute the
test he had proposed. Each party was
to build an slar, offer a sacrifice, and call
for fire from heaven to consume it.
Whether the priests Of Baal were eager
to enter the lists against Elijah, or were
compelled to do it under pressure Of the
sentiment of the people, We cannot de-
termine BY their zeal they seem to have
shown real faith in the existence and per-
sonality of Baal, and to have counted on
his presence and disposition to manifest
himself They may have been sincere de-
voices to o groundless but accepted super
| stition.
They presented their offering, and cried,
Baal, hear us ~ from morning until noon.
| They leaped or danced about the altar, ex-
pressing the intensity of their feelings by
the violence of their bodily contortions.
But all their frantic appeals were useless.
There was no answering voice, no sign.
To drive them to the utmost endeavor,
Elijah applied the lash of ridicule. He
rallied them in terms derived from theiI
own conceptions of Baal as deity char
acterized by human limitations and pas
sions, as well as expressive of his own con
tempt for him. Excited to fury, they moi
only continued to cry aloud but. began tC
cash themselves with weapons, aud to ado
their own blood to the blood of the victim
on the altar as a sacrifice to their god. Blu
without avail. In the suggestive words o
the historian, There was nc one to an
swer." They had prayed to nonentity.
