Iowa.

Des Moines advices up to the morning
of the 18th inst. state that the republican
state committee and the State Register
have up to this hour defined returns from
AZ counties and partial returns from as
many more. These indicate majority
for the republican state ticket of $4,000
over all the three other parties showing
a republican gain of $4,000 over 1877
and 1900 over 1878. Gears majority
over Trim Die, democrat, is estimated by
Mr.. Runnels, chairman of the republican
state committee at 75000 his majority
over Campbell, greenbacker, at over 10O,-
600.
Des Moines advices up to the evening
of the 18th state that the election returns
received here to-day do not change the
totals from the figures and estimates sent
to the Associated Press last night. Gov.
Gears majority, over all his ampetitors,
will be $4,000. His majority over Trim
BILE (Dem.) will be about $4,000, and over
Campbell (greenbacker) about 105, 1000.
The total poll of the state, will be about
21S,000, of which Gear gets 155 900 Trim
BILE $4,000, Campbell $4,000, and Durgan
5000.
In the legislature, 26 of the 20 senators
elected this year are republicans, and 50
out of the 100 members of the house.
Gille It's destrict, the 9th, gives 1900 re-
publican majority-a gain of over 5000
since last year Viewers district is re-
publican by 5000. The senate will stand
48 republicans and two democrats, re-
publican gain of twenty-three since last
session. twenty-five senators hold over,
ard of the Twenty-Five elected the repub-
licans elect twenty seven. In the house
the republicans elecs eighty out of 100.
The greenbackers claim representative
in Adams county, the only greenbacker
elected, which is a loss Of four. The re-
publican majority on joint ballot is 1913
against go at the last session.
The greenbackers will have one sena-
tor and lie representative IN the legisla-
ture--a less of four since the last SEES
sion.
A CHICAGO dispatch of the 10Th says
that eighty five polling places in Iowa
give Gear, republican 13,946; Trimble,
democrat, 7,S47; Campbell, greenback,
4,416; Dunnigan, prohibition, only five
hundred votes. The only conclusion to
be drawn from these figures is that the
republican candidate will probably have
a good majority over all, having gained
in nearly every voting precinct on an
average rate of n.

the night of the robbery, was to day
shown the prisoners arrested at Holden
Monday night. He identified Stevens as

not recognize Campbell. Evidence is ac-
cumulating against the men, and it be-

boys wanted. No other arrests have been
made, though detectives and marshal

pected train-robbers, are still IN Jail.

sons for suspecting that these men were
were train robbers. Two young men
came into the city on Wednesday after
noon. They appeared to have consider
able money, which they spent freely.
A watch was set on them, but as soon as
they realized that their movements were
being noted they mysteriously disap
peared.

of hearing and was lighting fresh
cigar by himself.

Successful Women.

The Cincinnati Commercial tells of two
successful business women of that city:
zone of the fiourishing Fifth street shoe
stores is managed entirely by two young
ladies, Miss Riley and Miss Linehart.
Every part OF the business is attended
to by them. They keep the books, at
the morning and close it at night. When
boxes of goods arrive they open them
with hand and Ratchet quite as well as
a young man could do. They give or
ders for new goods. About the only
duty the owner of the store has, is the
not unpleasant one of coming III occa-
sionally to relieve the cash box. Not
shoe store in the city is better than
this one which tTo girls carry on. They
are refined and gentle in their manners,
and so prompt and polite in business
that they are said to be building up an
enviable trade One is of Jewish the
other of Irish descent. They have been
intimate friends for five years, having
been clerks for that length of time.
Both are the daughters of widowed
mothers, and aid largely IN supporting
their families. These excellent girls
are only another instance to show that,
when a woman works for her living
there is always good reason for it. 1t
is not too much to say that three
fourths of the women who earn money
have others than themselves to sup
port. OF triple-plated meanness, there
fore, is the spirit which seeks to restrict
woman's labor in any way whatever, or
which grudges her equal pay with man
for equal work"

4 Rich Man ON Riches.

The following story, says The WdVStde,
il told of Jacob Ridgway, a wealthy cit
izen of Philadelphia, who died many
years ago, leaving fortune of six mil
lion dollars.
"Mr. Ridgway" said young man with
whom the millionaire Was conversing,
"you are more to be envied than any
other gentleman | know"
"Why SOP" responded Mr.. Ridgway.
81 am not aware of any cause for which
/ should be particularly envied."
"What, sirp' exclaimed the young man
in astonishment. "Why are you not a
millionaire? Think of the thousands
your income brings you every MONTH"
"Well, what of thar" replied Mr.. Ridg-
way. Gall get out of it is my victuals
ard clothes, and / can't wear and eat
more than one mans allowance, or
wear more than suit at time. Pray
can't you do as much?"
"Ah, but" said the youth "think of

piled the rich man. ~ can only live

AMONG the articles of merchandise
formerly imported in large quantities,
but which have been largely superseded
by home production, are chemicals.
Tartalic acid, the importation of which
last year reached only 1873 lbs; not long
ago SOC, 900 lbs. came from abroad annu-
ally. OF citric acid, % ,0lS lbs. was i'm
ported, against a previous annual i'm
portation of $4,000. The lime juice,
from which the acid is made, is still
imported on account of the small
growth of lines and lemons in the
United States. If southern agricultur-
lists, suggests a contemporary, gave at
tention to these fruits, a new industry,
in extracting the juice, could be devel-
oped. Last year but 8, 492 lbs. of borsx
was imported, owing to the working Of
our new borax mines. Formerly from
100000 to 1000, 900 lbs.was annually re-
ceived. OF cream tartar, none was
received in 1873 from abroad. About
six years ago the receipts were 90O0,-
600 lbs. annually.

A CONTEMPORARY notes, as an import
ant feature OF the paper industry, the
steady increase in the exports of Amer
lean paper, especially of the finer kinds.
The total exports last year amounted in
value to 81 Jos, 31S, having grown from
the comparatively insignificant amount
of $S,777 in 1869. The imports, on the
other hand, have dwindled down from
the maximum of 81 ,S26, 400, in 1878, to
the total amount of $685. S7 for papers
of all kinds last year. These latter
were largely made up of wall papers of
the more expensive designs, only a
triHing quantity being fine writing pa
pers. The superiority of the home
made paper is now fully conceded at
home as well as abroad, and large ord
ers have lately been received from new
customers in Holland and other coun-
tries. Recently there were representa-
tive buyers here from Japan and China,
who have hitherto been accustomed TO
have their wants supplied in the British
markets. TIE qualities for which the
fine domestic papers are noted are their
purity, tenacity, freedom from blemish,
and beauty of finish. The machinery
used is brought to the greatest degree
of perfection, and new improvements
are constantly being made.
