The Maine Central engines adopted the
new regulation whistle on Monday. The

nounce it by two long and two short whls-

was very evident that the engineers were not
used to it. or perhaps that some wanting a
musical ear and ideas of tone and quantity,
had used to practice before it could be pre-
cisely executed.

563 MAJORITY
Makes a Clean Sweep for the
Republicans,
A Decided Endorsement Of Mayor Ma
comber and His Excellent Ad-
ministration OF City Affairs.

The election in this city yesterday, passed
OF very quietly and resulted, as was ex-
pected, in a clean Republican sweep, every
candidate on the ticket being elected by ma
jorities varying in the different wards, but
in all Of them decided. The result of the
election shows that the citizens of Augusta
most heartily endorse the excellent admins
tration Of the city affairs which Mayor
Macomber and his co-workers have given
them. The result Of the election shows how
badly demoralized the Democrats of this city
have become, and is but fore-runner of the
overwhelming Republican majority which
will be rolled up neIt fall Despite the
storm, yesterday, there was good turnout,
exceeding that of last year by nearly five
hundred. The democrats were reported to
be very confident in the morning of carry
ing wards three, four and seven, but as the
day wore on, these claims were relinquished,
and when the vote was declared the Demo-
cratic voters had nearly all sought shelter
from the storm, and few were to be seen.
The vote for mayor was as follows:
For George f. Macomber, 946
For X. Il. Capen, 1882

raises big wheat crop. Rails
ing a big wheat crop is one thing
and getting a good price, for it
is another. When Dakota can
raise wheat that will bring
money, she may knock again.

and SAID: "Dakota raises more
wheat than any state in the

that comes to this market, and
it brings the highest price of
any spring wheat raised in the
world. 1t is true, however, that
the farmer gets too little money
out of it. Recently a grange has
been organized out there to put
tue wheat IN elevators, aud ex-

George +. Stone, Secretary OF

kota raises the finest wheat in

price in the market. They raise
more of it, too, than any other
State or Territory, and, what is
more; they raise great herds OF
