ferent from majority. The bet was that
DIXON would not be elected by one hundred
majority.
Dixon did not have majority. The
total vote cast was 81 900 Of which Dix
on received 15,41l, or 134 less than one
half. Carter received 15,128 votes, or
283 less than Dixon.
Dixon has plurality-that is an ex-
cess over the next highest candidate
OF 2S3, but he did not get more votes
than all the other candidates combined
and therefore has no majority. The terms
plurality and majority are carelessly
used as interchangeable words but on q
strict construction of their meaning the
man who bet on majority for Dixon loses
his wager. 1t depends upon what was
the understanding when the bet was
made. No honorable map would seek
to avoid paying bet on technicality.

FOR FORCE AT THE POLLS.

He. that being often reproved, hardeneth his
neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that with
out remedy. Proverbs
The republican majority of the United
States senate have not yet learned the
lesson Of the last election. They showed
that on the first day of the reassembling
Of congress, when they got together and
agreed to pass the force bill at this ses-
sion, and to turn the senate into Reed
organization by adopting the previous
question. The force bill, as a political
isCue, may not have cut such figure in
the last campaign as did the tariff. But
1T was evident, both before aud on the
day OF election, that the people of thi g
country did not want the federal control
Of elections. The measure or rather the
idea that it represents has been ham
mered into their heads by the party
organs as something absolutely necessa-
ry and the dear people listened and de-
clared by their votes that they preferred
to hold their elections without the in
reference of horde Of government
officers, and that they would rather
march to the polls in the present style
than go up between rows Of bayonets.
The force bill issue had the everlasting
life thumped out Of it on November 4,
yet on December the men who feel
their grip loosenirg come out and say
with the most brazen assurance that
they know better what the people want
than the people themselves do.
That is right, gentlemen. Go right
ahead hardening your necks, and the
next time the dear people hit you they
will hit you SO hard that you will never
have chance to dispute the force of
the blow. If you are dead and don't
know it, the dear people will let you
wake up some day just long enough to
find it out.
The people are against you. Holy
writ is against you. You are dead.
Stay dead.

Gems OF Purest Ray Serene.

The Regent, or Pitt diamond, now owned
by the French government, was purchased
in India by Thomas Pitt, grandfather of
the Earl of Chatham, for 6,OOO, and was
bought by the French government for
SS75,OOO. Strangely enough, it has re-
NAMED in that much disturbed country all
these years. Bonapartc once wore
it in his sword hilt, and the
late emperor had it placed in the
imperial diadem. The Orlof diamond ranks
next to the Regent and once formed the eye
Of a Hindu god. A French soldier, who
heard of the wonderful stone, deserted from
his regiment, pretended conversion to Hin
annointed to guard the shrine Of the bril-
iiant-eyed god. He stole the jewel, which
came at last into the possession Of Prince
Orloff, of Russia, who paid for it tho sun
of $500, 600 It was presented to Catherine
H., and is now in the imperial scepter Of
| Russia.

A Few Hints About OIL Lamps,

The tank, or reservoir, for holding the
oil should be of metal, rather than china or
glass. Wicks should be dry, be Just long
enough to reach to the bottom of the reser-
voir, and be softly woven. They should DO
holder. without being pulled or squeezed
in. II is necessary, too, that they be soaked
with oil just before using the lamp. When
the lamp is lit, the wick should be at first
turned down and then slowly raised, as it
burns. One great essential to avoid all
odors from a lamp is to have it thoroughly
clean and all charred wick and dust re-
moved before lighting. In putting ont q
lamp, where it has no extinguishinR appli-
ances, the wick should be turned down and
q sharp puff blown across the top of the
chimney but not down ON it. A little sys-
tematic care in the use of lamp will bring
instead of discomfort. warm. cheering
atmosphere to the home.

Persian Lamb and Astrakhan Furs.


Persian lamb and Astrakhan furs are In
high tide of favor this season, the distinc-
ton between the two being, of course, that
the lamb is lamb, the soft, closely curled
fur of the young animal, and very costly;
while the Astrakhan is the fur Of the sheep
and much less valuable. Real Persian
lamb 10 often more expensive than sealskin,
and 10 especially handsome for the fur
bindings of tallor-made costumes, and
for borders as we'll as for sleeves
of stylish jackets. The gray krim-
mer. which is 20 beautiful for dressy coca
sions. is the undyed Persian lamb. and less
expensive than the dyed fur, though moi
less beautiful, and it has the natural gray
of the young lamb. It is much worn on
gray reception dresses, and is very becom'
ing to most people. Combinations of full
are still much worn, especially Persian iamt
and seal. The new seal coats for young
ladies' are REFERS, short, single or double
breasted, and jaunty in appearance.

CATTLE AND sHEEP.
A Comprehensive Report on the Chi
cage Market.

Keenan, & Sons report for last week
says: Receipts Of cattle for the week
show an increase OF 1000 head. giving US
a total of 50, 900. The increase has been
made up largely Of western range cattle.
Good natives have sold well all week, es-
pecially heavy weights. Light weights
sold well until Friday. when prices took a
tumble Of IS cents on 1000 to ! 200
pound corn-fed cattle. CRASHED, of all
weights, have sold bad all week. there be
ing no demand, as such cattle came in
competition with range cattle, and killers
and shippers prefer the latter. We look
for range cattle season to end about No
vember Is, and advise customers to hold
back all common grades until the range
season is over. A fair prospect for next
week for the best grades. Range cattle
in large receipts and prices lower on all
grades. The quality has been inferior.
Brands that were good IN July. August
and September are now coming forward
looking as if the tops were shipped out
first, and that has more to do with the
difference in prices OF the different brands
than the market. but we quote the decline
for the week rs cents per hundred pounds.
Receipts of sheep and lambs foot up
40, 800 for the week. against "A, 600 last
week, The trade has been good and
prices at the close OF today's market are
ten cents per hundred higher than the
close Of last weeks. The trade today was
brisk for the good to prime grades of fed
Westerns and natives, also the market
has been active all week for the better
grades of grass Westerns from Montana,
Oregon, Wyoming and Utah, there being
quite a competition for the best grades Of
feeding wethers, there heiDg several buy
ers here all week looking for and buying
their sheep for feeding purposes. The
better grades-all wethers weighing from
100 to l05-selline at four cents, while
the common to medium grades sold from
1915 to 1886. The prime grades OF

A ROUGH TIME OF 1T.

on Tuesday. They have had a terrible

mans men were all in the nelghboroood

able to do anything.

their experience must have been a pretty

Noble & Lee only got 800 steers over the
summit. Chef Cbrismrn succeeded in
making the head of Green River with
some of his, but the balance got away and
will have to take their chance on Wind
river for the coming winter. The EA
found 1t necessary to turn their immense
herd loose too, and were unable to hold
even the 900 beef steers which should
have been delivered at the agency on the
Goth inst. Gene Informed us that since
then they have succeeded in rounding up
almost 800 head of beet animals.
