THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS,

Ten states will elect state officers next
Tuesday. OF these Iowa, Massachusetts,
Mississippi, New Jersey, Ohio and Vir-
ginia will choose governors, while all OF
them, and Maryland, Nebraska, New
York and Pennsylvania in addition. will
elect one or more minor state officials.
In several of these states also canvass
will be had for legislatures in one or both
branches. Six states have already held
elections this year. Rhode Island voted
on April 3. Kentucky on August D, and
the Dakotas, Washington and Montana
on October 1. Kentucky elected treas
urer, while Rhode Island and the new
states chose full sets of state officers as
well as legislatures, the new states also
electing congressman. The legislatures
named in the latter, as well as those to
be named in some of the states yet to
tors.
Predictions as to the results in most of
the ten states which hold elections on
November may be made with tolera-
BILE degree of confidence. Five OF them
Iowa, Massachusetts,, Nebraska, Ohio
and Pennsylyania-will be carried by
the Republicans, and two of them
Maryland and Mississippi-will be as
certainly held by the Democrats. There
is some doubt as to New Jersey, New
York and Virginia, with the chances
some what in favor of the Democrats in
the first named state. New York and
Virginia are debatable, and, so far as can
be Judged by the intelligent outsider,
neither party has any material advantage
in either. In New York the canvass is
not particularly active, even for an off
year. The case. however. is radically
different in Virginia. A livelier cam
paign has seldom been seen in the old
dominion than the one now under way.
Each side is making a supreme effort
the Republicans to gain and the Demo
Gratis to hold power.

IRRIGATION FOR THE WEST.

The special senate committee, pre-
sided over by Senator Stewart, on irri-
CATION and arid lands. has finished its
tour extending through eighteen states
and territories and consuming fifty-two
days. Thousands of pages of testimony
have been taken and hundreds of wit
nesses examined. The report Will be a
most exhaustive one and viii be awaited
with much interest. In the meantime.
the views of Senator Stewart, Ma Tor
Powell and various engineers will be
read with much interest, and we present
below extracts from recent interview
regarding TINS most important subject
with Senator Stewart:
Our last session was held on the 2lsy
of September at North Platte. Neb., the

August / at St. Paul, Mimi, where we
held a session and examined thirteen
witnesses, chiefly from South Dakota.
In that section we held sessions at Sioux
Falls, Huron, Redfield and Aberdeen:
also at jamestown and Bismarck in the
sister commonwealth of North Dakota.
In both we found their constitutional
conventions in session and took the evil
dence at to water-supply, aridity. pro-
ducts and need of storage of the leading
members.

AN ILLEGAL TICKET.

1t is said that the Democrats have
headed a lot of their regular tickets RE
submission Ticket" We do not know
that they have but it is so said There
is law against that thing in this state
with round penalty. The law says
that the caption of no ticket shall be mis-
leading or other than it purports to be.
The Democratic ticket is not a resubmis-
sion ticket III any sense. That question
Is not in the remotest sense involved and
their convention was not called as re-
submission convention nor was their
ticket nominated as a resubmission
ticket. 1t is fraud, and if if is circu-
lated the law will be tested. The Demo-
Gratis can and will sail under all manner
of false colors and false issues i'll order
to win, but when they come TO beating
anybody by plain violation of the law
they will have to stand the penalty in
such cases made and provided.

HOW she GOT RID OF HER FAT.

May Waldron, who plays the charac-
ter of ''Widow Opodyke" in The Hen
rietta, is quite a famous woman be-
cause of her thirty days fast which she
performed in Chicago, for the sole pur-
pose of reducing herself from noun
tain of quiverlng adipose to 1.-THE grace
full figure scarcely heavier than the av-
erage able bodied woman.
Every body that witnessed the "Hen-
rietta" as presented by Robson and
Crane last season will remember the
handsome but something more than
a buxom young lady who impersonated
Lady Mary" the American bride of
the dudish London lord. This was MAY
Waldron, Chicago born girl and daugh-
ter of one of the original founders of the
Chicago News. During the season she
gained flesh so rapidly as to give prom
ise that she might ere long become a
valuable auxiliary to Barnum's circus as
a successor TO the late iamented Hannah
Battersby. Just before closing the sea
son in New York she was offered a renu-
lucrative summer engagement IN Chica-
go, but when she arrived and the mana
ger gazed upon her ample proportions
the contract went into q pigeon hole.
The result was that Miss
Waldron consulted a noted Wash
ington specialist, and under his in
structions. on July she commenced
thirty days course OF fasting. From
that date until the 2nd day Of August
nothing passed her lips except the Juice
of an orange taken three times daily.
with copious draughts of water, while
three Turkish baths weekly complete
the treatment When she began the
treatment she weighed l94 pounds. The
first week she lost fourteen pounds. and
al the end of the thirty DAYS Of total alb
stIuence from food and stilnulanis she
weighed bat IA. pounds. Her figure
was well rounded and pretty and she de-
clared on completing her fast that she
never felt better IN her life. a statement
which her round face and soft, delicate
tinted cheeks completely supported. The
specialist guaranteed al the outset that
no matter how much Miss Waldron
might eat or drink after she had reduced
her weight by the treatment. the excess
OF adipose would never return. Thus

a SECRET WELL KEPT.

Probably the only process which has
been kept inviolate. and for ages openly
detied the world of science, is the iron
trade of Russia. The secret of making
Russian sheet iron is owned by the gov
eminent. and is such an immense mo-
noroly that it is currently supposed to
defrav the entire expenses of the gov
eminent. The works constitute an en-
tire city, isolated and fortified against
the rest of the world. When a work
man enters the service he bids last
farwell 10 his family and friends, and is
practically lost 10 the rest of the world.
He Is never heard of afterward. and
whether he lives or dies. all trace of him
is lost forever. There has been several
desperate attempts made TO steal or be-
tray the secret, but i'll every instance it
has resulted in the death Of the wouId-be
traitor. In one case letter attached 10
a kite, which was allowed to escape.
was picked up by some peasants, and de-
spite their protestations that they could
not read, they were at once put to death
by the guards TO whom they delivered
the letter, and it was afterwards decreed
that the guards themselves should pass
the remainder of their days within the
works The wonderful properties of
this iron are so we'll known that it is I'M
necessary to enlarge upon them.

A LITTLE TOO PREVIOUS.

The Kansas City Times, in discussing
the opening of the Cherokee Strip and
Secretary Mobiles instructions to the
commission touching that subject, mod
estly lays claim to being ''the only news
paper which has taken exactly the view
Of the law now promulgated by Secre-
tary Noble and has insisted upon a sum-
mary action on the part of the govern
ment." The EAGLE would not pluck
single feather from its esteemed contents
caput; it has done some service III the
cause, we are frank to admit; but truth
and candor compel us to deny both its
exclusiveness and the previousness OF its
claim. The files of the EAGLE will show
columns of articles written by its editor
years ago on this question-years before
anybody had any idea that the lands
would be thrown open for white settle
ment even at as early a day as now
seems probable. The EAGLE has main
tanned the position now taken by the adj
ministration from the very first day
the opening of the Oklahoma lands was
discussed by the original Oklahoma
boomers-facts that will be admitted by
everybody in this country who has been
in position to know the facts. Only this
and nothing more.

THE ELECTION LAW,

Fort Scott Monitor.
Judges of election will do well to bear
in mind that the Legislature passed law
in 1887 (see session laws of that year,
page 21S) which provides that "when at
any general or special election a ballot
with a designated heading contains
printed Or pasted thereon, in place of
another, name not .Ound on the regu-
lar ballot having such heading and name
shall be regarded by the judge as having
been placed thereon for the purpose OF
fraud, and the ballot shall not be count
ed for the name so found; nor shall any
persons distribute tickets or remain
standing within fifty feet of the polls
during the hours that the polls are
OPEN
1t provides that ANY person printing
or causing to be printed or pasted ballots
with designated heading containing a
name or names not found on the regular
ballot containing such names, or which
omits any name found on such regular
ticket or any person knowingly peddling
or distributing, or causing to be distrIb
uted, any such ballot with the intent TO
have such ballot voted, shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor, etc.
1t further provided that all printed
tickets must have a space left at least
one-eighth of an inch in width after the
name of each candidate.

has termed the sub-humid area-that is,
that section of our great plains extend
ing from the British dominions to within
fifty miles of the Gulf of Mexico. 1t is
an area 600 miles north and south and
100 miles east and west. Our investiga-
lions in the Dakotas and subsequently in
Nebraska and Kansas, the Indian terri
tory and on the Staked Plains and Pan
handle regions of western Texas. con-
vince me that the eastern line OF the
sub-humid area is of an irregular char
acter, and may properly be extended to
at least 81 degrees, 30 minutes, or to even
an east and west breadth of 100 miles.
Within this great stretch Of fertile pral-
ries. which in the Dakotas has produced
100000 bushels annually of its famous
hard wheat-the grain of the arid soils,
ground alike in western Kansas, Ne
braska, Colorado, Wyoming. New Mex
leo, Utah, Montana. Idaho, Washington,
California and Colorado-the annual
precipitation, though approaching the
normal requirements of agricultural in
dustry, is yet and everywhere too uncer-
tain to be relied upon. The central belt
of the Dakotas shows remarkable de-
gree of advancement.

1t is written that there is more Joy in
heaven over one sinner that repenteth
than over ninety and nine just persons
that needeth no repentance. In view
of the wholesale penitence of the Demo-
Gratis of Sedgwick county over the eyre
gious blunder they made at the outset of
the present campaign in attempting to
force an irrelevant issue upon the people
and thereby deceive them, which peni-
tence is abundantly evidenced by the alb
sence of any public effort to maintain
the position taken and to defend the
wrong, there must be a great jubilee in
the celestial abode at this wholesale
turning about. AMEN.

United States Indian Agent George E.
Bennett, has submitted his annual report
of the Union Indian agency. The agency
includes the Greek, Cherokee, Choctaw.
Chickasaw and Seminole nations known
as the five civilized tribes. Among other

HOGS.

A good farmer who is good farmer.
and who conducts his business with
much the same system that a careful
merchant does, exhibited to us a trans
cript of his books, a few days ago, on
the hog question. He commenced in
1888 to keep the record. From January
l., 1885, to March 81, 1888, inclusive, he
sold 525 hogs of an average weight of 296
pounds. and received in the aggregate
therefor $6,905.1S. This, too, in the face
of the fact that at two different times
the hog cholera smote him high and low.
On an average he raised 100acres of corn.
During these years he sold corn amount
ing to 1928. = and bought S4l5.67 worth,
leaving his corn field debtor 10 his hogs
S1S6.90. We tell this story and quote
these figures 10 give something of an
idea of the profit on hogs in hard seasons
when corn is scarce and hogs low. The
pigs cost him but little. so the
gross amount Is almost the
price for which he sold
the corn for his place. But in the mean
time he fed. from the same cribs, cattle,
horses. chickens, etc., and marketed
them, together with grain, fruits, ETC..
bringing his net profits way up. This
true story should carry with it power
full argument against corn raising for
the gram market, and in favor Of the
hog at whatever price he may bring. SO
that it is not lower than 3d. 35, which is
the lowest this man received at any
time. The conclusion Is irresistible.
This man has lived well all these years,
brought up and educated bright family;
is now living peaceably and comfortably
without necessary or annoying care in
all the world. He does not wish his
name published, but if anyone questions
the story in the least, we will take pleas
ure in giving his name in private.-Clay

The Red Cross society, of which Clara
Barton is president, has withdrawn from
its work in the Conemaugh valley, after
summer of most excellent service for
the suffering. Over 10000 persons have
received aid through this society and the
condition of affairs is now such that Miss
Barton feels justified in leaving the field
and allowing the remainder of the work
to be done by other agencies. She, how
ever, recommends the establishment of a
permanent relief organization to provide
for such cases as must naturally exist af-
ter so complete desolation.
