The Election,

Let the weakened democracy
ponder the following combinations
into which voters drifted in the late
election. The unanimity of the bal
loting is as great as if there had been
two party tickets in the field. 1t was
in the third. fifth and sixth:

Nobody drunk.
The saloons were closed.
Joe Murray got there flying.
The last shall be first some day.
The produce exchange was closed.
ID. T. Gentry ran like a scared
wolf.
"'Rah" for John Buckley for next
year.
Very few if any illegal votes were
polled.
Democrats did it with their little
hatchet.
Never "'Rah" till you are out of

Four of the old councilmen were
reelected.
Uncle Frank Tomlinson was some
what scared up.
The eolored troops fought nobly
and played HI.
The election, in several respects,
was a surprise party.
A full democratic ticket will be to
the front next spring.
More trading was done at this cleo
ton than was ever known before.
The silly Raining" of our fresh
contemporary did at least no good.
Two to one was bet all day on Bick-

The democratic party of Mexico
now sees the need or organization.
Hundreds of democrats went wrong
Tuesday. To-day they are ashamed
to tell it.
The result of an election and the
verdict of a jury should be among
the seven wonders.
j. d. Tucker had no opposition
but We caught him bribing the judges
with a sack of apples.
Johnny Moore will continue to
write Moore foolish puns. Farming
is what he was intended for.
If Trimble's resolution had pre-
vailed things would not have been
thusly. All admit this now.
Every republican in Mexico, black
and white, voted for Botkin. Demo-
Gratis, learn a lesson from it.
The LEDGER will give $500 for the
privilege of publishing the vote for
mayor with the names of the voters.
A wagon full girls with banners
bearing the inscription "Vote for
Botkin," paraded the streets election
day.
This year we have a republican
mayor and one republican council
man. Next year things will not be
thusly.
We learn that a democratic official
and not a councilman was an active
worker at the polls for the republican
for mayor.
Rufe Hisey was brought out by his
friends after a large number of votes
were polled and had a poor show then
to get there.
Howard Gass, the only candidate
for school commissioner that an
nounced in the LEDGER got there by

1t looks as though the so-calleo
democratic bosses were about right
when they wanted Buckley to run
without such a late nomination.
Some democrats that we know OF
who did not vote for the nominee
Tuesday will want something from
the democratic party some day.
The LEDGER has been at a loss tt
know what to do with the editorial il
had set in type Monday. We have
concluded to save it for next year.
Somebody or something was burn

The man who must go out at the end oil

The man who put his hat on the next

his valise and umbrella in the next empty
seat south, and keeps them there until the
passenger needing seat esks him 10 re-
more them.
The chronic colloquial interrupter who
breaks in on your hali.fnished sentence
with some remark foreign to the subject.
The other man who takes ten times the
number Of words necessary 10 tell his story.
The bulging man who sits sideways in
the street car and one.third oil whose adj
pose overwhelms you il next to him.
The man who buslles straight up to his
long unseen friend who is conversing with
you, slaps him on the back and says, How
dyer With q total disregard Of your pres
ence..
The man who opens or closes his car
window without the care or apprehension
concerning the pleasure OF others sitting
by il.
The man who will occupy the other seat

Sedentary and studious men some,

time in close mental work and neg
lect to take enough exercise often
find their stomachs unable TO do the
work of digestion. The liver be-
comes torpid. The bowels act ir-.
regularly. The brain refuses to
serve asst once did. Their preaching
becomes a failure, and there is a state
ofgencral misery. So many minis

The conduct Of Mr.. Roland Smith, Of
Coldwater, Mich, a gentleman who visited
this city in search Of runaway wife, is
worthy OF remark, II not OF general imita-
ton. He found her passing US the wife OF

"Ail Icams on here for was to see

living, and II he could | intended to take
you away from him, After looking him
over, see that he'll have pretty hard
scratching to get you enough to eat and
wear, and SO I'll leave you with him, be-
cause it will serve you right"
After this judlcious remark tho philoso-
phic husband took the next train for the
West. Whether his prediction shall be
verified or not It must be admitted that
his course Is far more rational that II he had
perpetrated one or two homicides and pre-
sented our courts with one more occasion

G. Kuhn has compared the digestibility
Of three samples Of hay and three samples
Of whea..bran, when fed dry, to that Of the
sauo folders variously treated. Moisten'
ing OF the hay or bran Immediately before
feeding with quantity Of cold water Ia
sufficient to satisfy the thirst Of the animals
(steerS) had no recognizable effect on the
digestibility. Moistening the bran with
cold water twenty.four hours before feeding
had no effect on its digestibility, provided
the quantity OF water was so limited that
the amount drunk by the animals did not
fall bOloW about 90 par cent OF that drunk
when the ration was given dry. When the
amount OF water used 10 Inoisten bran large
" exceeded the limit Just mentioned, indi'
cations OF decreased dtgestibility OF tho
crude proteiue OF the total ration were OBJ
served, Treating the bran with boiling
water twenty.iour hours before feeding
caused an undOubted decrease in the digest
Utility OF It's crude proteine, which was
greater the higher the iniLia! temperature,
and the longer the action OF tie heat con-
tinued, The other constituents OF the bran
were unaffected. Giving the bran stirred
into water as drink, along with dry hay,
had no noticeable effect on the digestibility
Of the total ration, compared with that OBJ
served VIXEN similarly prepared bran was
mixed with the hay. The experiments
gave also the interesting and important
result, that the extent to which the same
fodder is digested by the same animal
may vary at different times. A new
source OF error in digestion experiments
is thus brought 10 light, and one which
must receive serious consideration in all
future experiments and lead to new eau
ton in accepting tho results OF old ones, es'
pecially in the case Of concentrated fod-
ders, since the calculation Of the digestibil-
ity OF the latter is based on the assumption
OF unultered digestibiIity OF coarse foddsr
for two consecutive periods. These expe-
riments are worthy OF notice also for the
care and consCientiousness with which the
limits of possible error are taken account
OF in the discussion OF the results. They
afford, in this respect, an excellent exam.
Pile Of really scientific investigation, and
contrast favorably in this particular with
many agricultural experiments.
