Missouri Serbs Solid Democratic Delegation to Congress and
Chooses Legislature that Will RGElCt Senator VcSf Lght
Weight in The SOQp and ByrS Victorious

The returns, far received, give assurance of
glorious Democratic victory Tuesday. The good
is not confined to any particular section dis
trict, but comes from all over good land
The Democrats have elected their candidate for
Governor in Massachusetts, and made gains of several
Congressman. Equally good news is reported from
Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska,
Illinois and other Republican States. In Missouri
the Democracy has done herself proud For the first
time in many years we have solid Democratic dele
cation in Congress, Wade in the Thirteenth Dis
trict has failed of election Byrns has beaten Light
Weight by a majority between 500 and 2OOO
In Iron county, will be seen by the official vote
duty
cratic Lieutenant-C Governor to cast the deciding
vote, which means Democratic Senator from the
Empire State. A gain of seven other Legislatures
that elect Senators this winter is reported, and
New Hampshire will choose Democrat to succeed
Blair.
Pattison Democrat, is elected governor of Pennsyl
vania by 5000 plurality.
The next House of Congress will be Democratic by
at least 20 majority. Mckinley and Foster are both
defeated in Ohio and Democrats chosen in their stead
Hurrah for Byrns! Flowers and tears for Light
Weight and the Iron county ''statesmen.'
Democrats let us be joyful and give thanks for the
glorious blessing Of Tuesday!
In St. Louis the entire Democratic ticket with
exception is elected by maj ortes ranging from 600
to 5000, thanks to the Australian system OF voting
which gives us a free ballot and an honest count.

PAID thu STATE TAXES.

The managers of the Central Vermont
Railroad Co., have paid into the State
treasury the taxes assessed against their
system of roads in this State for the last
six months in 1899, amounting to S42, 900.
The fact that suit had been brought in
the Federal Court by Maine stakeholder
of the company to test the constitution
atty of the Vermont corporation tax law
created an impression in some quarters
that the Central Vermont Railroad Co.
would fail to pay the taxes, which were
due March /. The time for the payment
of these taxes was extended by Commits
sioner Martin to March %, so as to enable
the management to complete its accounts
for the period named The Maine stock
holder filed a motion with Judge Wheeler
of the United States District Court pray
ing for an injunction restraining the Cen
trail Vermont from paying the taxes due
in March, and the hearing thereon was
set for March %. President Smith of
the Central Vermont gave directions last
week to Treasurer Ranlett to pay the
taxes due, and accordingly a check for
$40, 900 was promptly forwarded this weel
to State Treasurer Dubois. The ques-
ton of the constitutionality of the Cor
poration Tax law in this case is not raised
by the Central Vermont Railroad Com
pany.

1t was in the Pennsylvania depot at
Jersey depot at Jersey City. A man who
had been half asleep on one of the
benches for some time suddenly reused
up, carried his hand to the breast pocket
of his coat, and then called out:
~ have been robbed! Some one has
picked my pocket
''Have much money!" asked an old
lady who sat near him.
'Over forty dollars"
'Sakes alive! but what loss! Sure
you had it when you left homer
''Of course ami"
Didn't leave it under your pillar, or
change your coat9'
IL noticed you feeling around your
coat tails before you went to sleep. Bet
ter look back there before you give up.
He carried his hand back, and ten sec
onds later held his lost wallet up to sight.
He began to apologize and stammer, but
she checked him with:
young man, you ought to be more
keerful, you might of accused me OF
stealin' that money, and it would have
been nice thing for my church folks to
hear of. wouldn't it? When the news
got home to my old man he'd have been
L
so kerflustrated that he'd have forgotten
to feed the shoats or milk the cows, and
there's no knowing how he'd have got
along locking up the house and going t.
bed
"Oh, | shouldn't have accused you,
a'am," protested the man.
"Wall, I'm glad of it, and being this
excitement has come up about pick.
pockets guess I'll see if my money and
ticket is safe"
And she reached down, slipped off a
calfskin shoe from her right foot, and
peered into it with the remark:
There's the ticket and there's the dol
lar bill, and | hain't been robbed. Jist
try it, young man. Beats coat tail and
all other pockets all holler. Got to stand
on your head to get it, and every time
you sot your foot down you know its
thar. I've carried seventeen dollars all
over New York that way, and got out
alive and safe. "-NeIu York Sun.

HE STOOD THE TEST.

A Woodward Avenue dentist received
a call the other morning from couple
whom he reason to believe were lovers.
The girl had an aching tooth, and as they
entered the Office the young man said:
'NOw, darling, the worst is over. just
take seat and it will be out in a min
ute"
"Oh, dasn't,m she gasped.
''But it really don't hurt you any, you
know"
"But I'm afraid it will
at can't. I'd have one pulled in a
