You want to make your eyes bright, clear,
have them get rid of a feeling that they ars
wearing out? Very well, then. You must
observe all the laws of health. You must be
careful not to read either in dim or a glar
ing light. If you don't rest enough your
eyes will look colorlesS, listless and expires,
sionless. When you battle them as if they
were made Of cast iron they VIII revenge
themselves on you by making you feel as If
there were small humps in them and as if they
were full of tears that were only waiting for
a cause to be shed. You never ought to let
your eyes get tired out, but when you do,
sponge them with very warm water, and il
possible go to bed.
There is nothing that is so grateful for care
shown it as the human body, and the thought
given to your health will cause it to express
its thanks in bright eyes and a skin that is
white, clear and fTn.-New York Star.

Hanlan as n Dude,

From the shady pavilion overlooking Der.
kelley lake three gentlemen were, Sunday
afternoon, watching the pleasure seekers as
they got into the boats and showed off from,
the wharf
It was new experience TO most Of them
and it was with comicaHy frantic attempt,
at dignity that they stepped into the wabbly
crafts and intrusted themselves to the smooth
but unreasonable surface Of the lake.
Many of the boats all bat went over, ana
the three wise men were confidently expect
ing to see some one take a ducking when a
party of five came down upon the wharf
Three ladies and one gentleman had been
helped into their places, and the last of the
party was just about to get aboard when one
of the three interested spectators said: Just
look at that dude. believe that he will be
the one to go overheard
The boat was showed off and the dude re.
ferred TO took the oars. The curious trio
were taken by surprise The muscular form
of the dude" was bent nearly double, the
oars dropped into the water with silent pre-,
cision, and the boat went ahead as if shot
from a gun.
"Whew! but he can row." said one. He's
a Mailer" said another "Who is that manr'
asked the third of John Glitch, who at that
moment came up.
"Oh, that" said John, he is only Han.

HELENA (Mont), October 3d.-The re-
turns from the counties in which the re-
suit is disputed have not come in to-day.
The Republicans now estimate their ma
jority for Governor at 100, while the Dem
ocrats claim Toole's election by 400. Re-
turns from Silver Bow county, which
elects eleven members of the Legislature,
are still incomplete. The Democrats
claim nine of these as sure and possibly
all. The Republicans only concede six to
the Democrats.
The Republicans now claim only three
majority on joint ballot in the Legislature,
while the Democrats claim nine.
HELENA (Mont), October 3d.-Carter
Republican candidate for Congress, is
elected by twelve thousand majority.
Toole, Democratic candidate for Governor,
had one hundred msjority over Power, but
Fergus county gave Power two hundred
and fifty majority. The returns are not
yet completed, but it is believed Power
will be elected. The Republicans it is be-
lieved from the latest indications, will get
the Legislature although the Democrats
claim it. All the other Republicans on the
State ticket have been elected.
FROM WASHINGTON
TACOMA, October 3d.-Thirty counties
heard from give the Republican State
ticket a majority of seven thousand five
hundred. This will likely be increased to
eight thousand. The Constitution has been
adopted by seventeen thousand.
The Woman Suffrage and Prohibition
planks are defeated by the same vote.
No city had majority Tor the State Cap.
ital so it remains at Olympia until another
election. The Republicans will have a
majority of from thirty-fve to forty on q
joint ballot in the Legislature.
NORTH DAKOTA.
GRAND Forks IN. d., October 3d.-Pro.
hibition has carried, according to the latest
returns, by about 500, though the vote is
close. The result may be changed by the
arrival of delayed returns, and the official
count may be necessary TO determine the
result. Conservative estimates of Miller's
majority place it at 5000, though 10, 900 is
claimed
The Republicans elect twenty Senators
and forty-three members of the House
The Democrats elect five Senators and nine
members OF the House.

ST.. PAUL, October 3d-A special to the

Pierre as the Capital bids fair to outrival

have gone mad. No attempt is being made
by the authorities to preserve order. A
couple of bands of Cheyenne Indians arc
on the spot and add to the excitement
| Although no disastrous accident occurred
last night, it is feared things will not fare
so well tonight.
No business of any kind was done here
to-day, the people giving themselves up tc
| celebrating and watching for more election
news.

moved the body for burial against the pro-
test of Mrs. Crabness, who declared that
she was the wife of the dead man.

but the dusky widow says that she has her
marriage certificate, and she dresses in
black for the purpose of showing her grief
over her bereavement. She said that she
married Mr.. Crabness, who was white
man, in Virginia when she was a girl. and
that both he and their only son are dead.
She declared that she lived with him as his
wife, and that he was "first-class gentle
man." In her eyes he was equally court
