Prohibition Majorities in the Dakotas.


HURON, s. D., Oct. 4.-Zack I. Hundley,
chairman of the Democratic State central
committee. tonight places the total Demo-
cratic vote in the State at $4,000. and claims
twenty members of the Legislature. He
says the vote is larger than expected. Sec
rotary Bushnell. of the State Prohibition
committee, says he has sufficient returns
to guarantee the statement that prohibit
ton has a majority of 5000 in the
State or 5000 more than expected. Huron
has accepted her defeat for temporary cap
ital. and is in the race for the permanent
location.
A report is current at Aberdeen that the
election will be contested so far as the pro-
hibition question IS concerned, upon the
ground that a large part of the tickets
used were not printed upon white paper. in
black ink as required by statute. Most of
the tickets used in Brown county were
printed upon cream paper in blue ink.
Reports from North Dakota indicate that
prohibition was carried by about 1.50o ma
jority.

~jorities not far from these figures.
Gains for the Republican ticket are re-
ported from every section of the State. and
it is not at all unlikely that the total vote
will show over 5000 majority. So far as re-
turns have been received, estimates on the
vote for Congressman are as follows: Wilson

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Mayor Schuette and the committee on
fire and water are now engaged in devils
ing plans for the organization of a fire
department under the new conditions
prevailing. The plan most in favoris the
following: The location of a central
station near Main street bridge, where the
hose cart and trained team Will be kept.
Flremen to be provided with lodging at
the station and some employment in the
neighborhood to be procured for them.
The city will furnish them lodging and
a small salary per annum for their SER
vices as tiremen. The team will also be
employed in doing street work in the
neighborhood of the station. The station
being located near a livery stable a team
regularly employed should be at a dis
lance from the station. A hose cart to
be kept near Herzog & Cootway's livery
stable also. The old hand hose carts will
be placed near the outskirts of the city
and will be in charge of volunteers.
Then an electric fire alarm system is to
be provided. There are to be ten boxes
all in one circuit, with a gong and indi-
Gator at the centeral station, and gong
in the house of the chief of the depart
ment. A tower BELLS also to be rung by
means of the electric current. The alarm
is to be given at any one of the ten
boxes. The electric system can be put
in for $4,000. The entire original cost
of the system as here outlined Will be
$4,000; the expense per year $1,000. One
of the fire engines will be sold, both
engine houses and the site of the south
side one, which is owned by the city.
The $4,000 mentioned above, includes the
cost of a large bell to be placed on a
tower to give general alarm. This in
brief is the system now under cOnsidera-
ton. 1t is substantially that in use in
Beloit where it gives general satisfaction.
