AND SURVEYOR.
OVERHHROWN MAJORITIES..
The Peoples Party Gets Part of Its
Ticket by Democratic Aid-Loss

but give the republicans record of
having overcome a majority ranging
from 400 to 500 last year and electing
three of the leading candidates, Not
tori, ROmig, Baker.
The incomplete returns indicats
probable majorities as follows: Treas.
urer, Nixon, alliance, $50; clerk, Not
tori, republican, 20; sheriff, Smith,
alliance. 1l6; surveyor, Romig, repub-
hcan, 40; coroner, Shepherd, alliance,

for Their Patrons Interest.
The patrons of the store of Finley &
Brewer always are In luck. They find
that the firm always loaks out for their
customers interests and pay the high
est market price for everything the
farmers have to sell.
Their stock of dry goods, groceries,
ETC., is not only the largest and most
complete in the firms history bat they
are prepared to give better bargains
than ever known. Any of the goods
are given in exchange at lowest prices
for poultry and butter and eggs.
They also pay the highest market price
for eggs in cash; good butter is wanted.
Several thousand pounds can be used
at once. Remember that you can get
the highest price every time and
you should SEE them before sell:nr.
In poultry they are the acknowledge
leaders. They have large contracts in
the mountain markets to fill and will
give the best prices III the city for
poultry: bring it in by the carload if
you want to, their facilities are large
enough to warrant their handling it.
Finley & Brewer make a speciality of
their farm trade and want every farmer
and farmers wife not already patron
to call on them and see what advan-
cages can be offered,

The Judiciary of the Eighth District
Will Be Lifted Above Partisan
Politics-The Non-Partisan Ticket
Sweeps the District.
Nicholson is defeated.

After battle in which every posi-
BILE advantage was secured by the
present judge of the district the people
have entered their almost unanimous
disapproval of his course and the prin-
ciples of the calamity ticket and have
defeated the bridge burner by over 800
votes. The fact is an encouraging one
for the good sense of the people. It
shows their appreciation of Judge
Humphrey and their disgust with the
course of his competitor.
The following dispatches explain the
situation:

NEBRASKA RETURNS.

Uncertainty Owing to the Meager Returns
The New System Causes Delay.
OMAHA. Neb., Nov. 4-Returns from
Nebraska up to o'clock this morning
are meager. The Australian ballot
has proved hard one to count and the
result is that the returns are later COM
ing in than ever before, even in this
proverbially slow state. Rough esti-
mates made from the returns at hand,
including those from Omaha and Doug
las county, indicate that Judge Post
has carried the state by at least 5000
majority.
Counties that have been expected to
give Edgerton heavy vote have failed
to do so in many instances Adams
county reports large republican gains,
and Cass county has probably gone for
Post by 200 majority. The city of Ere
mont has added substantial majority
for Post and he has made strong In
roads on the alliance vote in Fillmore.
There has been big revolution In
Gage county, which gives Post
majority, where Edgerton's friends
predicted a walkawsy. Lancaster
county furnishes another surprise with
an estimated majority of 2 900 for Post
Platte county, Posts home, stands BY
him with a rousing vote. Merrick,
Richardson and Sherman counties re-
port small majorities for Edgerton- In
many places falling off of 20 per cent
of the independent vote is reported

The vote in this city was very light
1t had been expected that out of the
registration of POI, 532 at least 24O, OOO

about 22O,O persons voted. In the
Hill-Miller campaign more than 271, 900
votes were cast. Comparatively, Flower
ran as we'll as Gov. Hill, whose plural
ity was $1,000, and who was elected by
$4,000.
Sheehan did not do as we'll as Flower,
but his election is assured.

Ice Cream Is Dangerous.

MALONE, N. Y, July 1.-The Episco-
pal Society of Brushton, N. Y, on Sat
urday evening served ice cream at their
lawn festival in that village. A short
time after partaking of the ice cream
some complained of feeling ill, and soon
after were taken with vomiting, nanse
and severe pains, in fact with every up.
pearance of poisoning. DR. Hawkins
was called, but on his arrival found so
many sick and suffering that he sum-
moned DIR. Rust from Motra, DIR. Pearl
from Bangor and Drs. Grant and Cam.
eron from Malone, who reached the
scene as early as possible and did all
that science could do to counteract the
poison. By early next morning all
were pronounced out of danger, though
some were very weak and low. but, hap
PLY, all are now we'll and able to be out.
The most intense excitement prevailed
in the village during the whole night.
There were forty eight persons in all
who were poisoned. There were two
kinds of ice cream served, lemon and
vanilla; all who partook of the vanilla
we're sick, while those WHO took lemon
had no bad effect whatever. On this
account some people think the poison
was in the favoring extract, but one
physician says it was caused by
some product of decomposition in the
milk coming in contact with zinc of the
ice cream freezer.
