RUSSELL GETS THE PLUM.
HIS ELECTION TO THE COUNTY
TREASU1 iERSHIP.

A vigorous Fight at the POils-Russeu's
Majority Over Hamilton 1876 The To
tai Vote 2.OO5-Scenes In the Court
House Corridor and Around the Bal
lot Roxes-Counting the Vote.
There were not many less than two
hundred voters in line waiting to cast
their votes for County Treasurer when
The polls closed last night.
For two hours the Court House
corridor had been jsmmed, and the
Constables had all they could do
to keep the crowd back from the
ballot boxes. just as the Exchange clock
struck 6, Sheriff Roman stood up on the
stairway and declared the polls closed.
There was a rush for the doors,
the solid line that led from the platform
in 'front.' OF the ballot boxes out into the
street broke. and IN five minutes there
were not fifty people in the corridor.
The election was notify contested up to
the last moment. The anxiety 10 know
the result was general among more people
than those directly Interested and mere
politicians. When the polls closed the
registry lists showed that 1908 votes had
been cast. The count was begun IN the
grand jury room at 7 O'Clock, and was
=
conceded that Russell was elected
by between $50 aud 200 majority.
AS the count proceeded this be-
lief was born out by results.
The greatest interest was taken in the
count. and towards the finish the cOrri-
doris up stairs and down were again
crowded. The friends Of both candidates
and the candidates themselves anNiously
waited the result. .
The count ~ the first box gave Rus
sell a majority OF 66 out Of total
of 9S4 votes. It was at this box that
the contest was hottest just before the
polls closed. The Hamilton men were
hopeful that the small majority for Rus
sell would be offset by q large majority
for their candidate in the second box, but
in this they we're disappointed. Russelfs
majority there was l29-very nearly dou-
HE what it was in the first box, giving
him a complete majority OF 100.
The following is the result OF the official
count:

BY the firm OF Hughes Bros, manu-

ments have resulted In the discovery
Of an agent which completely obviates
this difficulty. This agent is the Elk.
tract Of the bark OF tree indigenous
to the state Of Texas. Carrying their
experiments still further, they have
ascertaiued that this same extrac!
~ completely controls the only re

mentation, which is the cause Of fe,
vers ~ well rs Of rheumatism. This
agent they have combined with the
extracts Of ginger and lemon, thereby

It Ia not only one OF the best tonics In
its effects, but the use OF it eflectually
prevents typho-mslsrial fever. At the
