1t is not probable that the government

practiced to any great extent; neither

DIES MONIES, Oct. 9.-Returns come
in slowly. Not single precinct of this
Polk county has yet been heard from
complete, and only about a dozen from
other points of the state. Cherokee
county is reported 800 republican,
Adair $50, Mahaska 49, Monona ! 900
Cass 500, and it looks as if Dallas coun-
ty gives 1900. These are all pluralties
for John II. Gear, for governor, over
John P. Irish, democrat. Daniel 2.
Stuabs, independent, has received a
very heavy vote, and Jessup, prohibi-.
ton, a large vote in few
localities The total vote in 10 precincts
fully heard from is Gear 1916, Irish $50
Stubs $50, Jessup 1862. Gear over Irish
731. In 1875 Gov. Kirkwood had in the
same precincts 1916 against CO. for
Shepherd.
There are few reports upon the legis-
lative ticket. Lafayette was elected sen
ator for the Cass district and j. J. Russell
was chosen from the Fl Dodge district.
1t looks IL little as if Edwards, demo
crat, is elected in the Grinnel district,
owing to division in the republican
ranks. Thomas Hanna, is elected sena-
tor from Muscatine. Two republicans
are elected to the house from Mahaska
county, one from Cass, one from Jefier-
son and one from Muscatine. One
! democrat is elected in Boone, and one
is supposed to be in Muscatine.
DUBUQUE, Oct 10-Dubuque county
gives Irish, democrat, from 1900 to
800 majority. The entire democratic
ticket is elected, including senator and
three representatives, which is a gain of
senator and one representative.
CHICAGO, Oct. 10,-Up to this hour.
$50 p. NJ, returns are so scattering that
nothing more definite than sent last
night can be given The republican
majority will probably not fall under
$4,000, nor cXceed 10000 Both branches
of the legislature are strongly republi-
can us indicated last night.
! Specials received by Mr. Irish indicate
that Mr.. Gear will have only plurality
and not majority for governor. The
/ republican vote falls off largely in the
banner counties, Gear loosing even
Linn. Jossoup and Stubs draw largely
! from the republicans The democratic
legislative gains are large and there Is
much uneaslness amongst republican
politicians over the rapidly narrowing
majority.
DEs MONIES, Oct. 1O.-At this hour
y o clock, midnight, the State Register
has definite reports from half the coun
ties in the state, and partial returns from
the best of others 1t states from them
that the total vote polled in the state
twas 100000 That of these, Gear, re-
publican, has 100000 Irish, democrat.
10000; Stubs, greenbacker, $4,000;
Jessup, prohibitionist. 5000. 1t claims
for Gear clear majority over ALL On
the legislature the returns show 81 re-
publicans in the senate to s democrats
and s doubtful OF these eight at least
five will be republicans In the house,
so far rs have reported definitely, the
republicans have 5S, democrats 20,
greenbackers 3, not heard from, -.
One-half of the latter will be republi-
cans. The republican majority, on
Joint ballot, ii is estimated, Will be 50.

A NEW POSITION.
All reserves collected in Roumelia
have been sent across the Balkans to a
new position which the Turks seem to
be preparing at Orchanie for Osman
Pasha to fall back upon should he be
obliged to leave Plevna. The only
question is, will he be able to do so
The massing Of Russian guards in the
rear of the lines at Plevna looks very
much as if the Muscovite were prepar-
ing to effectually close the communica-
tons Of Plevna by sending large force
across the Vid to the rear of the Turk
ish position.
There are already two feet of snow in
Schipka Pass. Troops are obliged to
sit in frozen trenches, ankle deep in
mud.

Edwin ID. Wood, son of Francisco
Wood, proprietor Of Woods hotel who
belongs to the army and was present at
the capture and killing Of the Indian
chief Crazy Horse, writes an interesting
letter to his father. Mr.. Wood has
been IN the army nearly five years, his
time being out next December During
all that time he has been in the Indian
country; has been IN several hard
fought battles and comes out without a
scratch. We make the following ey-
tracts:
CAMP ROBINSON, Neb., Sept. 16.
DEAR FATHER received your letter
dated August p, and was glad to hear
that YOU were all well. We have had
considerable excitement here within
the last two weeks on account of Crazy
Horse. We started out on the 4th of
this month, with eight companies of the
Third cavalry, to bring him and his
band into the agency, but did not sue
coed i'll capturing him. The next day
he was brought in by lot of friendly
Indians, who are enlisted and paid as
soldiers. There were also Il number OF
{
his own warriors with him. When the
carriage drove to the guardhouse Crazy
Horse got out and walked Il short dis
lance, then refused to 60 in. Then the
struggle began. The guard surrounded
/ him, and one of them stabbed him with
! bayonet. He was then taken into
the adjutants office, where he died III
about six hours There are all sorts OF
ruInors about the way he was killed
Some of the papers say he stabbed him
self; others say he was killed by another
Indian called Little Big Man; but was
one of the guard myself, and was there
when he was stabbed. and know the
man who did it. | think this was the
only thing that saved row, because
there were a great many Indians there
at the time, and one shot would have
been sufficient to start fight.
