State Elections.

Returns from the elections held in the
states on the 5th inst. are incomplete
and indefinite, and we are therefore un-
able to give positive results. 1t is how
ever evident from the returns at
hand that the democrats have
secured heavy gains in nearly, Is not all
of the states where elections were held
The vote in Iowa is extremely close,
although it is probable the state has
gone republican by small. and greatly
reduced majority. In Ohio the re-
publicans claim the legislature. but the
defeat of Foraker. the republican can
didate for governor, is exceedingly
probable. West Virginia and New
York gave heavy majorities for the
democratic ticket. In Nebraska where
light vote was polled, the republicans
claim the state by 1900
Massachusetts probably elects arepub-
lican governor by q meager majority.
The vote In New Jersey was close, and
both parties claim victory. The dem
ocracts have probably scored sweeping
victory in Chicago; returns from the
state. outside Of that city. arc Of such

creative turn of mind. He has for years
been acknowledged the most humane and

Each act is a picture, the scenery being
furnished by Bartholomew. On the OPEN
Ing of the performance The horses pass
down the road and go through the door
Into the school house, the horses having
has or hornets en- and carrying in their
mouths books, states or bags. Like tho
majority of schools this one has truants,
one OF them goes to q base ball game aud
the other goes fishing. The scenes in the
school room are about the Same. as they
were last December when the horses ap.
peared here. The hell riuGing has very
much improved. The arrangement aud
divisions Of the performance are i'm.
proved. The military drill, which has
always been tul prlslng feature CT the

BETHEL, Sept. 18.-The great storm
