The three senators named had sent for

with the business on hand, but Senator
Blackburn casually inquired of the sec

bill, whereupon Mr.. Blaine launched
forth into a torrent of abuse against the
craftsmanship OF the gentleman from

Considerable Activity in the Market witt
Bright Prospects for the Future.
Although election matters have fol
some weeks absorbed the attention Of
many of our citizens and to all appear
ances there has been u lull in the rea,
estate market, il must not be overlooked
that prices are firm, with a gradual up.
ward tendency, and that quite a number
of deals have been made in the very
midst of the campaign,
As illustrative of the fact that values
are going upward we cite the instance oil
a real estate firm who had listed u piece
of city property for $4,000 during the
past few months and had effected a sale
kept as to the terms. The owner is 8
non resident and he was telegraphed II
regard to the matter. The answer was
"No terms; l withdraw property at price
named. Price now is $4,000" This
shows the tendency.
Since the first Of the present month j.
X. Clark d Co., have closed sales amount
ing to over $4,000. This includes 1870
acres of land near the city, $4,000; lot 9
block 246, owned by Miss Berg, to Theo-
dore Gibson, $1,000; fifty feet square on
Third street, directly opposite the Collins

The Townsite company reports an ac-
tive demand for property and their list
of sales the past month is long one.
A deal which involves the purchase of
25 feet front on Central avenue for $4,000
will be close today. As the deeds have
not passed we cannot mention the
parties to the transaction.
From this time until the holidays we
may reasonably expect much activity in

Der OF inquiries. both by our W citizens

COMING TO THEIR SENSES.

Ben Butterworth, the noted republican
congressman, has a pretty clear view of
the situation. In an interview at Chica-
go relative to the late political landslide,
he said:

bill, and | think the high tariff path the

which at the last election showed Il slight
majority for the republicans, increased
by the unseating of opposition members

to $50 against them. This is an over
whelming majority, which will happily
render unnecessary the unseating of
members to make up a working majority.
The members unseated at the last session
have in almost every instance been re-

ed to secure a working republican ma
jorlty and not because the successful
contestants were entitled to the seats.
