BOlES PROBABLY ELECTED.
Very Heavy Democratic Gains In
the Hawkoye State.
HUTCHINSON BADLY SCRATCHED,
The Remainder OF tho Republican
Ticket Thought to Have Pulled
Through-The Legislature
Republican.
IOwa in Doubt.

Dies MONIES, Ia, Nov. Especial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. l. Definite returns from
over eighty counties, and estimates on the
remainder, indicate the election Of Boies for
governor by a plurality Of $500. The bal
ance of the state ticket, except Hutchinson,
is probably elected, as he was badly cut by
antiprohibitionists and by others; in fact,
he seems to have been caught between the
upper and the lower milestone, being
scratched by extreme antrprohibitionists
and extreme railroad men. All the fight OF
the enemy was made over him, and the rest
OF the ticket went clear. Spencer Smith, rail-
road commissioner, runs ahead, having, it is
thought, enough of lead to be elected.
Given, for supreme judge, also runs so much
ahead of Hutchinson that he Is probably
elected,
! The republican majority in the legislature
has been very much reduced. 1t will not be
over eight on joint ballot, but the indications
are that it will stand at that figure. The
ti-prohibitionists made great gains In the
| interior and took advantage of weak repub-
| lican nominations to capture several districts.
| If Boies Is elected he will be the first demo-
| cratic governor of Iowa since the republican
party was organized.
CHICAGO, Nov. 6.--TSpecial Telegram to
| THE BEE. IA dispatch from Des Moines,
| Ia, says: Complete returns from ninety
| five counties, and the remaining four counties
| estimated the same as two years ago, show
| that Boies, for governor, has 5995 plurality.
| The official returns will undoubtedly increase
! this majority to about 1000. The entire
: state ticket, lieutenant governor, Justice of
| the supreme court, superintendent of public
| instruction and railway commissioner, is
! elected. the republicans claim the legisla-
| ture by eight majority on joint ballot, but the
! democrats do not concede more than three.
DEs MONIES, Nov. 6.-The State Register
| says: At a. IN. returns from all counties
| by full vote or estimated maiorties indicate
| the election of Boies, the democratic candi-
| date for governor, by small plurality, prob-
| ably not over three Thousand. The vote is
! running so close with so many unexpected
| changes that almost the entire vote will
| have to be known before definite results can
| be ascertaned. 1t is probable that the re-
| publican state ticket, with the exception OF
| Hutchison, is elected by small margin.

A French mans Reasons For Suin z
the Chicago Tribune For 100000.


the Chicago Tribune For 100000.
CHICAGO, Nov. e.-[Speoial Telegram to
THE BEE. I'll. II. de Sainte Foy to-day be-
gan a suit against the Chicago Tribune COM
pany, claiming $4,000 for malicious libel.
The plaintiff is professor of the French
language. He claims to be graduate of
the Paris university, and to have an unblem-
ished reputation in Chicago, where he says
he, until recently, enjoyed the patronage of
some Of the leaders in society. The honor
aud admiration IN which he was held by his
patrons was, he says changed by an article
which appeared in the Tribune of November
5 in which he was characterized as a masher.
Since then he says his pupils have displayed
a very general disposition TO terminate his
term of tutelage.
The article referred to was an account of
Mr.. Sainte Foy having sent . note to re-
spectable young lady asking her for an in
teryiew. This note was taken by the recipi-
ent 10 the Tribune editor, and was answered
in tho office. This letter and the professors
reply were published with some comments,
In which the professor was alluded 10 as q
masher. The writer of the article also
ridiculed the professors blonde mousbachs
and hair, aud crushed the Gaul by calling
HIM ian Albino."

NAVIGATING TIGERS.
Some Facts A bout Them Accum uIatcti
in India,


AT the last meeting of the Bombay
Natural History society, Mr. Gilbert, n
well-snown skikaree, read IA paper on
man-eatng tigers, of which bi ief re-
port is given in the London Times. He
says that the popular idea of the man
eater is wholly incorrecl. He is com
monty supposed TO be IAN old brute,
more often decrepit than otherwise,
perhaps lamed from some former
wound, with his teeth broken and his
skin always NANCY, unable from his in
tirmities to kill game, but obliged to
conceal himself near village path and
then to pouncc on some solitary human
being and devour him, never attacking
when there are more than two or three
persons together, and always display
ing great cunning"
Sir William Hunter takes this view,
and describes the mau-eater us gener-
ally an old beast, disabled from over
taking his usual prey, and who seems
to accumulate his tale OF victims in
sheer cruelty rather than for food. Sir
William Hunter mentions u man-eater
who was known to .have killed Jos
persons in three years, and another
which killed an average of so persons a
year for the same period. A third
. caused l3 villages to be abandoned and
$50 SQUARE miles of land to be thrown
out of cultivation. A fourth killed 127
persons in year and stopped Il public
road for many weeks.
Mr.. Gilbert, however, says that these
views as to the man eater are quite err
roneous, They are not different from
the ordinary tiger, which lives on game
and bullocks, but he does not say why
they become man-eaters. Sir Joseph
Fayrer suggests that it is by the acci-
dent of having once tasted human flesh
and then finding all other flesh insipid.
Mr.. Gilbert mentions certain famous
man eaters. One, tigress, in the
Nagpur district, has u fondness for the
employees of the Bengal-Nagpur rail
way, frequents a tract OF country only
about nine square miles in area, and is
possessed OF extraordinary cunning and
audacity. This year, up to June. she
had killed seven people, besides wound
ing others. She lives in a rocky and
precipitous spur, in which there is II
heavy bamboo and other Jungle. Sew
eral springs of water rise at the foot OF
the scarps, and there Is
q cave which shows many
| signs of being used by her and her fam
| lily. A big stone just outside the en-
| trance is scored deep and long with
! many scratches of their claws. In Feb
| ruary last, in broad daylight, she car
ried off one of IL gang of permane nt-way
| men from under the eyes of his com
| panious. She has been shot at many
times and her cubs killed, but she has
got off scatheless. Sometimes the man
eater traverses very long distances.
Thus the Jaunsar man-eater, which was
killed by an officer of the Forest depart
ment. after killing a man in one place,
would kill another twenty miles oil the
next night. This one, also tigress,
freaucnted belt of the Himalayas s, 1000
to 10000 feet high, and was eventually
| killed 5000 feet above the sea. But
| none of the man-eaters recorded by MIR.
! Gilbert were decrcpit or worn out.
| They were strong. handsome beasts in
| their prime.

MONTGOMERY County.

RED OAK, Ia, Nov. 6.-ISpecial Telegram
to THE BEE. The result of the election in
this city, as shown by the complete returns,
is somewhat of a surprise, though in part an
ticioated. The vote was light, both republi-
cans and democrats polling less than in 1887.
The republicans elect the state ticket by GAL
majority, also their complete county ticket,
though Carey, for treasurer. Rogers, for
auditor, aud Logan, for sheriff, pull through
with very small maioritles. Politics entered
very little into the contest, which was but a
rehash of the old court house fight. This,
with the large number of bogus tickets
printed and peddled by the leaders of the
democracy in the county. was the direct
cause of the light vote for the three candi
dates named.

Ranaua PAPER.

A new factor is entering the paper
makers market. 1t has been proved
that the banana plant contains II
greater quantity of pure fibre than any
other of the numerous vegetable pro-
ducts used for the manufacture OF
paper. During the first twelve months
OF its vegetation the plant produces but
a single bunch OF fruit, after which it
dies; but from its roots four or ten
young plants spring up. The adapta-
tion OF the plant to commercial pur-
poses will, it is anticipated. revolution,
ize the paper material market and
largely affect the industry. The plaut
is easy OF cultivation and has long since
been recognized by the wandering
tribes in Central America as yielding
many useful adjuncts to every day do

followed the bent of prize fighters and opened
a saloon. Late last night Jack, with party
of friends called on LabIanche, and after a
few rounds of drinks the "Nonpareif' said
he wanted to fight him again. as the Marine
promised on the night of the fight in August
that he'd give Jack chance to redeem his
lost laurels.
LaBlanche hemmed and hawed and finally
said he didn't propose to take chunces with
anybody
Dempsey offered the Marine $500 if he
would light
LaBlanche emphatically said he wouldn't
fight Dempsey again when there were so
many "duffersn around.
Finally DEMPSEY said he believed the Cali
forna Athletic club could be induced to give
a purse of $1,000 for the two men to meet
again, and, if so. Jack would give $3, 500 to
Lal3lanche If the latter lost, only keeping
Sl,5O0 himself.
The Marine didn't fly at the offer, but said
would give his decision in a week.

IT COSTS roo HUGH.
The sad Experience which Befel
One of the AsaOrs.

In the early days OF the direct tea
trade with China importers were anx-
ious to secure the earliest cargoes oi
a new crop.
The first cargo brought the best
price and large profits. The successful
captain was always rewarded, SO
every known aid to navigation was
adopted.
The young captain OF one OF Mr..
Astor's clippers brought on one Of his
trips new chronometer, and with its
aid made quick passage and arrived
first. He put the price of it into the
expense account of the trip,
but Mr.. Astor threw it out, in
sisting that such an item of expense
for new-fangled notions could not be
allowed.
The captain thereupon resigned,
and took service with rival line.
The next year he reached port long
in advance of any competition, to the
great delight and profit OF his EN-.
ployers and the chagrin OF Mr.. Astor
Not long after they CHANGED TO meet,
and Mr.. Astor inquired;
" By the way. captain, how much
did that chronometer cost your"
+" Sixyt hundred dollars" Then with
quizzical glance, he asked:
" And how much has it cost you
Mr.. Astor?"
4" Six thousand dollars"
