Jesse Day, had been a failure, and

TIE vote of the Territory in 1889
was 1888, and the population, &C.
cording to the census of that wear
was Is, 12O. This gives a ratio of
nearly five persons to each voter.
Applying the rule to The vote cast
this year, we have an aggregate of
about 81, 800. Our enthusiastic Re.
publican friends may figure out a
few more, but this is about all the
indications justify. Probably as few
" staid at home" on election day this
year as in 1880. The persistent ef-
forts of those who were anxious to
make as good showing as possible
to influence the question of admis
sion, has undoubtedly had it's effect.
1t is evident, however, that the most
liberal padding will not adapt it to
the proportions of mature Statehood.

A BAD FALL.

Ed. Os;a Fails Through an EIesosor SHAFT
Too Stories and IS Dangerously In
jMred.
Last evening, at about 6 o'clock, Id
Osia, French boy eighteen years of age,
met with dangerous if not fatal accident.
He was in the employ of the Minneapolis
Fuel company, and having a load
of wood to deliver to the building known
as Dicks restaurant on Washington avenue,
he had gone up stairs in search of the parties
for whom he was to deliver the wood to get
his receipt signed. Cropping about in the
building he stepped into the elevator way
and fell, with a heavy thud, down
the shaft to the floor, two stories below.
In an unconscious state he was picked up.
A telephone call summoned the patrol
wagon and Capt. Chase, who took the vic
tim of the accident to his home on Tenth
avenue north between First and Second
street, where surgical aid was summoned.
Last evening the boy was still alive but
having sustained dangerous internal iniu-
ries, he was liable to pass away at any
moment.
