POLITICS YESTERDAY.
Where to Vote Today and The Situation as Out
liaed Yesterday.

There was considerable skirmishing
| around yesterday. The political situation
was discussed on its many sides. There
were crowds around on the street corners.
They were disposing of state questions
with wonderful rapidity. The leading
thing locally was the Coates-Ayres deal.
The Coates friends who had opposed the
efforts of some to pull him off the track
were quite angry. healleged reward and
| compensation for such action was con-
sidered quite insufficient TO satisfy. No
one thought the combination would be
able to defeat Luling.
The betting on Hallowell yesterday was
| at the rate of two to one. The double
money lasted longer than the single. The
Simpson followers practically gave it up
and conceded Hallowell's election.
The places for voting, judges and clerks
for today are as follows:

FLOWING THE WATER,
An Old Russian Custom Still Observed In
Agricultural Districts.

An Old Russian Custom Still Observed In
Agricultural Districts.
Among people who follow agricultural
pursuits more than among others there are
many peculiar customs still in vogue in
Russia, which have their origin either in
ancient pagan ceremonies, or are deeply
rooted in superstition, pure and simple, or
fanatic beliefs. Russia. more than any
other country, retains many weird tradi-
tions, and the strange usages for the ward
ing off and the conjuring of the pernicious
drought are particularly numerous. 1t fire.
quently happens that each district has its
own peculiar ceremonies, and often every
individual inhabitant follows a line of con-
duct in that regard peculiar unto himself.
In some of Western provinces of the EN-
pire strange ceremony Is resorted to for
the cessation of the drought, in which the
"plow and the women" play a conspicuous
part. During long continued droughts the
magistrate convenes and "plowing of
the water" is officially ordered. After an
early morning procession the women and
girls are drummed together in the afternoon
for the purpose of the act OF "water plow-
ing" This consists in the tearing up of the
bottom of a'near-by stream by means of a
pillow pulled by halfdad women and led
by the largest and strongest dame of the
village.
There is no doubt that this ceremony is of
pagan origin, but whatever its significance
was in olden timesl history does not say; at
the same time the custom is pursued with
unerring regularity at the present day
throughout the provinces mentioned.

government of all great countries and make
their best history"
The American was quick to discover that
consummate tact, of which the Prince
seems to be the master and which enables
him to harmonize all shades of opinion, no
matter how aggressive, provided they are in
position to be regarded as factors in polit-
ical, professional and social life.
A DELIBERATE OPINION.
"This is a very important support to the
best hopes of royalty in this country" said
Mr.. Depew, "of which the Prince will one
day be King"
Certainly princely hospitality could not
have marred the judgment of man like the
powerful railroad president, whose life is
one round of social attentions, whenever he
Will consent to receive them, and who
always basks in the sunshine of intellect
wherever 1t can be found, returning always
as much as he receives. But the eminent
lawyer went farther and discovered what
lew other Americans have ascertained, that
the Prince of Wales not only in action but
in thought, is the iron ballast which keeps
this monarchy on an even keel and makes
royalty more than popular with its subjects,
and he had the courage to say so.
Yet, there are many points for friction be-
tween these two thoroughbred gentlemen, but
the thoughtful, astute man from the new
country, who fills to the full both the large
and small conditions of the big life which

TRADE ANOMALIES.
An nExplanation of the Zig-Zag Course Which
Book and Paper Sometimes Follow.

An Explanation Of the Zig-Zag Course Which
Book and Paper Sometimes Follow.
Here is a book that was published in New
York, but printed in st. Louis, and the
funny thing about it is that the paper it was
printed on was made in the East and
shipped West, says a dealer in the St. Louis
Globe Democrat. Hence freight was paid
on the white paper out here and on the
books back East. This is done constantly,
and the reason is singular.
You can buy book paper of various grades
20 to % per cent cheaper for the Western
than for the Eastern market, owing to the
great competition. Hence, paper is deliv-
cred In St. Louis cheaper than to ware
house five miles from the mill. Printing
here is cheaper than in the East, and thrifty
publishers save thousands a year by their
patronage of our printing houses. st. Louis
has nothing to complain of in the matter,
but the long round trip of first the paper
and then the books is remarkable, and shows
how competition affects and benefits trade.
