doubtful districts. But as far as heard
from not single doubtful district in the
New England, Middle or Western state,
was thus saved, nor Is there evidence that
except IN Keifer's district in Ohio, dollar
of the money was thus used. Most of it,
Hubbell is said to claim, was sent south
and the net outcome from that quarter is
Chalmers, ",he hero Of the Fort Pillow
massacre" from Mississippi, Mackey, OF
odlous fame, from South Carolina, Houk
the idiot, from Tennessee, Kellogg the thief
from Louisiana, and the clustering Tom
Ochiltree from Texas. Considering the
democratic majority Of sixty IN the house,
Is such game worth the candle?
The most uncomfortable feature for poor
Hubbell about it all IS, that in view of such
a dismal outcome, the clerks, scrub-women,
&c, aro now SAID TO be banding together to
demand of him what he did with the
100000 of their money. They are said to
have sent a committee to his headquarters
in Washington few days ago. but found
the place vacated No one know or seemed
to care what became OF the furniture tnat
he.' cost The poor contributors some $4,000,
and it WAS thought no one would be likely
to take enough interest in It's disposal to
call fer an accounting. The owner asked
Secretary Henderson to renew the lease of
the building, but he thought the commit
t.e could get along without headquarters
FOR the present, and the place might go 10

Considerable interest attaches to the Ne.
braska legislature, as 1t has United States
senator to elect. Complete returns show
the senate to consist Of II republicans, Z
democrats and 6 doubtful, and the house
of As republicans, IS democrats, % anti.
monopolists and doubtful, Leaving the
republicans 10 short Of q clean majority in
the house and 6 on JOINT ballot The dem.
ocrAts claim that the entire "opposltion"
can be united upon Sterling p. Morton,
democrat and anti.monopoliss, for Senator,
at all events, that no straight republican
can be elected.
The official figures show the Wisconsin
Legislature to stand: Senate, IL democrats,
II republicans; house, &c dems., AZ reps,
independents This gives the democrats a
majority of 10 on joint ballot, but unfortu.
nately there is no U. S. Senator to q pct.
Kansas appears to have tired rapidly of
prohibition. A square issue was made on
the question, and Gov. st. John was buried
under majority of $4,000. There was also
decided majority of anti.prohibihonists
elected to the Legislature. The republican
politicians, who org,nally led their party
into The movement are thoroughly brighten
cd at its failure, and they will probably
abandon the cause which they espoused IN
the first place only for the sake of keeping
their party in the ascendant
The latest calculations as 10 the strength
OF parties In the lower house of congress
show 1875 democrats, 1913 republicans, 5 re
adjusters, and 2 independents, or demo
cratic majority Of j over all.

WAR OF MTEs.-A very interesting
little war of passenger rates has broken
out between the different railroads from
Chicago 10 ". Paul. 1t commenced at St
Paul, and they say" though this is denl
ed, it commenced by the Rock Island cut
ting under in fares by It's Albert Lea route
Anyhow, about the 10th inst, the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul and the Chicago d
Northwestern commenced selling tickets
from st. Paul to Chicago for s., and the
Rock Island met this and went one better
by selling through tickets FOR 81. The
other roads virtually dropped to the same
figure by selling tickets at S. with rebate
OF 81 on arriving In Chicago, but as the
Rock Island simply charges So without
any rebate ticket, so that passengers who
have no trunks to check can get off at any
point between ST. Paul and Chicago 10
which the fare Is more than SO, the Rock
Island gets the bulk Of the travel II now
looks as If this cut in passenger fares was
soon TO DO followed by a similar cut in
freight rates.

Der until 10 o'clock a. m, and the people
were we.strcken, thinking the end of the

Poetry and Fact.

In Keats's beautiful poem, "Lamia," a
Young man has been led captive by phan-
tom girl and is made the slave Of her beauty,
until an old teacher comes in anu fixes his
eye upon the figure, and it vanishes in Its
true form Of Shiny serpent. This poetry;
now for fact. Disease in various forms
seizes upon young men and old, and espec,.
tally does it affect the kidneys and liver, and
begins lnsideously to work ruin and death.
But Hunts Remedy, as the old teacher,
comes in, and the Shiny serpent of disease
glides away. At first men think that dis
eased liver or disordered kidneys is mere
phantom, and 90 on their way neglectlng
the evil and not realizing their danger. But
this is not something to be tritied with.
Call in Hunts Remedy at once; 1t will both
reveal the demon, and cast it out. For kid
ney, liver ana urinary complaints there is
nothing like IL.

On Friday last Daniel Wolf, who has
relatives in this city and county, was muir
dered near Wiesslngton, Dakota, by man
named VIM. McCumber. The affair is a
mystery further than that the people OF
Washington, seeing house atire q few
miles from town went out, finding Wolf g
body with a bullet in the brain, and that
TIC fire had evidently been made in the
house to burn the body. McCumber, who
had been with Wolf, acting susplciously
warrant was issued for his arrest, but
when the sheriff proceeded to serve it on
him, McCumber drew pistol and shot
himself dead. Wolf was about 40 years
old and quite wealthy. The body will be
brought to Ottawa.
