Tremendous shaking Up at Elm day, Ohio.
Ennal to Full Grown Quake.

TOLEDO, OHIO, June IA Findlay, Ohio
special at $3.50 this morning says everybody in
that city was awakened by tremendous shock
that rocked every building. breaking windows
in many places. 1t was found to
be the explosion of Casterline &
Co.'S nitro glycerine works, situated
four miles east of the city. correspondent
Just from the scene reports hole in the ground
large enough to take in four-story business
wood and is scattered for mile in every direc-
ton. No one was in or about the works, hence
no loss of life. An idea of the force of the
explosion can be estimated when it is said five
tons OF nitro glycerine went up. No estimate of
the loss is yet obtainable. Specials from all
parts of Northwestern Ohio show that the shock
was felt forty miles in all directions, and was
generally attributed to an earthquake. 1t was
distictly perceptible in Toledo.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
Two County High School Trustees
Also Elected-The Majorities Are
Decisive Minor Victories.

The returns are by no means dis
couraging to the republicans of Dickin
son county in one particutar-the com
missioner in the First district being
elected. Charlie KGpke will have $50
votes to Gugler's us, giving him de
cisive majority. The vote is recog-
milton Of Mr.. Kepke's worth as citi-
zen. He will make a good guardian OF
the county's interest.
A. s. Lowery, Of Rinehart, and W..
M. Sherwood, of Newbern, are elected
county high school trustees by a good
vote. Both are straightforward citi-
zens and deserve the honor.
Ridge township which was counted
on by the reople's party went republic
can by about II votes, the only outside
township to do so.
Solomon elected an entire republican
township ticket and feels good on ac-
count thereof.
Up to date the above constitutes the
republicans total claims to victory in
county affairs. The fusion of the DEM
ocrats and peoples party was too
much for us.

THE PEOPLES PARTY MAKES A
BIG SWEEP.
Nearly all the County Officers Cap
tured by Big Majorities and Willis
Leads the Ticket-A Wholesale
Surprise Party.

The republicans have had to take a
good deal of chaff on the result of YES.
terday's election. The reports from
the outside townships show that the
peoples party held the alliance men
well and also had the democrats as
allies. AS the returns came in last
night it was evident that the county
had gone for Willis and today's COM
plete reports confirmed the opinion.
AS will be seen from the table of
unofficial returns given herewith the
outside townships with one exception
went for the peoples party and with no
uncertain voice either. The republi,
cans take their defeat gracefully as
they were not entirely unprepare6 for
some kind of cyclone, though none
were anticipating such an avalanche.
A clean, square fight was made aud we
were defeated-that's all there is to it.
THE MAJORITIES.
The vote in the county for the vari-
Gus candidates SO far as can be esti-
mated this afternoon from imperfect
returns is as follows:
For Governor Humphrey 500; Rob
inson $50; Willis 2,O4O; Phillips l.
600; Warren $50; Davis $500; the
county ticket from 800 to 500 from top
to bottom except commissioner and
trustees.

the county by about 800 majority.
SALINE COUNTY.


SALINA, Kan, Nov. 5.-The election
passed off with considerable scratching.
The indications are that Phillips, Re-
publican, for Congress, will carry the
county by few hundred plurality.
Robinson, Humphrey and Willis will
have nearly onC-third each of the
county. The whole Republican county
ticket is undoubtedly beaten.
ATCHISON COUNTY.
ATcHIsoS. Kan, Nov. 5-John
Seaton, Republican candidate for
Legislature from the City district, is
elected with majority estimated from
600 to 700
The vote for Governor is very close;
the race is between Humphrey and
Robinson. Moonlight, Democratic can
didate for Congress, has carried the
county. Democrats claim his majority
over Broder.ck is $50. Five of seven
precincts in tho city give Robinson 7ss,
Humphrey 724 and Willis so.

The Fashion in Hair-Dyelng.

Fashion in hair-dyeing has, it seems,
declared at last against the auburn
and bright-gold tresses with which We
have been lately familiar. These tints,
as we'll as the pale "bleached" straw
hue, are no longer TO be worn. and
much darker shade, called in the secret
circles of the trade itself by the un-
poetical term mahogany" is the latest
decree. 1t is produced by a subtle
mixture in which henna plays leading
part, but the dyeing process is long and
tedious. However, that can not much
matter to the ladies who once embark
upon hair-dyeing, since they have con-
tinually to submit themselves to its
repetition as fresh hair grows The
prophets of these mysteries assure US
that the time is coming when ''natur-
al brown" will be the favorite tone If
it be true, therefore, that real blonde
hair is becoming extinct this will in
sure fashion to every one.-London
