made. In Alturas county. which has here
tofore been Republican by about two-hun-

one hundred. The Democrats elected three

for district judge; Reed, for assessor and
Watt for treasurer Stockslager's majority
over MCGOWAN in the district will reach In
the neighborhood of eight hundred. The
district is still in doubt although it is
thought that Barnum, Democrat, is elected
over Brune- by a full majority too
close to feel comfortable. The funniest
feature of all about this contest
was that the Republican candidate. beliey-

himself to northern Idaho week or so

speech and wave the bloody shirt and tear

years old he was celebrated for his daring
and was supposed to be almost as sure at
his work as the guides themselves. Young

most skillful men of their business

Foreign Missions Board.

MINNEAPoL1s, Oct. S.-The American
board of commissioners for foreign mis-
sions beganits annual session at'Piymouth
Congregational CHURCH. The opening ses-
sion was held at 3 pm. The meeting was
presided over by Rev. DR.. Richard S.
Storrs, of New York. The afternoon was
taken up with annual reports.
Many interesting reports were read. One
fact OF serious import is remarked especi-
ally in the eastern and central mission. the
small number of college graduates who en-
ter the theological Summaries and the in
creasing tendency of young men to come
to America to complete their studies and
better their fortunes. A great majority of
these seem to become lost TO the churches
and people at home
The Chinese empire was referred to as
full of supreme difficulty aud at the same
time field of supreme interest Sixty
nine lay missionaries for the ensuing year
in various Chinese missions were'called
for. Stanley's work in Africa was referred
to as vastly more important from the stand
point of Christianity than from the COM
mercial view

IMPROPER POSTERS CONDEMNED
BY the Edwin Forrest Lodge of the Actors
Order of Friendship.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. l.
NEW York, Oct S.-The Edwin Forrest
Lodge of the Actors Order of Friendship
Sunday last adopted these resolutions
Resolved, That the Actors Order Of
Friendship regards with alarm and indig-
nation growing tendency on the part of
certain managers to countenance the issu-
ing OF indecent posters and other advertise
ments of an Objectionable character That
we believe that persistence in this course
will prove injurious to the best interests of
the theatrical profession, aud we hereby as
body enter our protest AGAINST the con-
tinuance OF these managerial methods OF
advertising as not only an abuse Of your
art, but menace TO public decency and a.
strong weapon of attack in the hands of the !
ever ready and too willing traducers of the !
stage.
Stuart Robson with z. F. Mackey and
Charley Merry drafted the resolutions /.
He said in the course of his remarks that
the evil attacked was threatening one. It
was generally admitted by membere pres
ent at the meeting that the offending ones
we're not confined to rural managers alone
and several first class attractions have of
late been using printing hardly tit for dis
playing upon the public streets. Several
officers of the lodge said yesterday that the
resolutions were aimed at no one in partic-
ular, but had only general hearing. No
active steps will be taken to further the
resolution, but as all prominent members
of the profession will support them, it is
believed their circulation will bear fruit

The Manifesto plaases seua,or Hoar

BosToN, Oct, S.-Senator Hoar yesterday
expressed qualification at the action of the
Mormon church in abolishing polygamy as
an article of faith. "But,' he said Il am
not surprised. The leaders now see that
the law of Congress is pressing them and
that the gentle element in Utah is growing
too rapidly TO permit the continuance of
their odious practices. Twenty years ago
some one, | think it was Oliver z. Morton
while travelling in Utah, told Brigham
Young that it would be the best thing for
him TO have another revelation to abolish
polygamy. They have stood out as long as
they could"
Senator Hoar regards the action of the
conference as confrmatory of his settled
belief that all sectionalism will disappear
as the nation becomes homogeneous.
when you can talk with people by tele-
phone," he said, their prejudices and pc
culiar local influences will disappear. |
think that is the way the southern question
is to be settled. The railway, telegraph
and telephone, bringing people of ali sec
tions into close communication, are to
sweep away provincialism and prejudice
and the nation will become one In senti-
ment on all great social and economic cues
tons. But" he said, I'VE will not admit
Titan to statehood until we are pretty sure
they mean what they say.'

Balfour on the Reportea Fat,u,e.

LONDON, Oct. s.-Balfour, chief secre-
tary for Ireland, replying 10 an inquiry as
TO the real standing of affairs in Ireland,
writes: Regarding the potato crop in the
west of Ireland, no positive or final conclu-
sion can be formed, until the potatoes are
dug towards the end of October, but all tes-
tlmony which is Of any value, and which is
obviously not doctored for political purposes
appears to indicate that the fear of a gen
eral famine in Ireland is wholly absurd
although in particular localities the failure
OF the crop is undoubtedly serious. The
measures that have been ta5en by the gov
ernment will, without question, be suffi-
cient to deal with any real issue which it
may be beyond the power of the ordinary
poor law to meet''
