borhood of s, 900. gain of Q, 900 over two
years ago. The returns on the other state
officers are scattering. In the lower
house the republicans have gained
Audubon, Adair Adams, Boone, Deca-
tur, Floyd, Poweshick and Kossuth.
the democrats gain Marion, O'Brien
and Sioux. The parties were equally
divided two years ago, and the repub-
hcans will, therefore. have a clear ma
Jority. The senate is conceded to be
democratic by one or two votes. 1t is
estimated that the total vote will reach
42O. 900, the largest vote ever cast in the
state of Iowa.

COLUMBUS, Nov. 6-Chairman Hahn
has received through the county chair
man the pluralities for governor in
every county in the state, and these
show McKinley's plurality to be 81, $50,
and Mr.. Hahn is of the opinion that
the official announcement will not
change these figures 100 either way.
The republican majority in the general
assembly continues to grow, and it is
now hfty-two on joint ballot, and may
be increased one-Rowlen, repub-
lican. in Stark county, being in doubt.
Senator Gaumer, in the Muskingum
district, is defeated by sixty-three votes
by George Iden, and the republicans
also carry the Montgomery district,
defeating Senator Marshall. The sem
ate stands twenty-five republicans to
nine democrats and the house seventy
three republicans to thirty-four demo-
Gratis, allowing the democrats one rep
resentative in Stark county, which the
republicans claim is in doubt. This
would make the two houses stand 95 re-

will not be changed unless the republic

TRAIN ROBBERY.
Four Masked Men Do the Job In
the Suburbs OF Omaha


OMAHA. Nov. e.-Passengers on the
Missouri Pacific train which left Omaha
at 1850 Wednesday night were treated
TO m old-fashioned ''hold-up- mt West
Side, = suburb. ut IL o'clock. -Four
masked men took charge of the train
when IL stopped at the station, one COW
ering the engineer and fireman with n
rifle. while the others proceeded To plum
der the train with drawn revolvers.
They approached the coaches and or
dered the passengers to throw their
hands up At the door they retreated
and attacked the mail car. BY threat
ening to blow open the door with dyna-
mite, the messenger was induced to adj
init the robbers. and the car was plum
dered. The officers refuse to give any
information as to the amount of booty
secured, but il is said that large sums
from Kansas City and st. Louis banks
were secured. Officers went in pur-
suit The robbers are armed. but are
on foot.
1t is estimated that the robbers who
held up the Missouri Pacific train last
night secured 81. 000 West Side is a
small station situated ut about Fifty
fifth and Leavenworth streets and is
just outside the city limits The sur
roundings are such as to tempt those
engaged in train robbery. rs but little
interference or resistance could be rem
dered. When the train, reached tho
Elkhorn crossing, about mile beyond
West Side. and stopped to whistle, two
of the robbers jumped into the cab and
covered the engineer and fireman with
revolvers. The others in the party
turned their attention to the Pacific ex-
press car. and held up Messenger s. A.
Green with n couple of miniature Gait
ling guns at his head. Green was or
dered to open the express safe, or have
his body perforated with bullets.
Green opened the strong box, and was
bound and covered with a revolver.
As quickly as possible the entire con-
tents of the safe were dumped into a
bag. and the robbers climbed out of the
car. The switchman and baggageman
were compelled 10 walk back down the
track mile or two in order to flag
other trains

A Farmers's Terrible Mistake.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Nov. ga
farmer named Wilson, near Wolf
Summit, who had been annoyed by the
depredations of ground hogs in his
fields, went into the woods near by and
began to set snares for the animals.
While he was setting the snare little
girl named Baily, 10 or IL years old, and
who lived near by, was attracted by
Wilson's actions, and slipped behind a
stump to watch him. While she was
glancing over the top of the stump the
man happened to look up, and seeing
nothing but the top of her head, which
he believed to be n woodchuclS. picked
up his gun and fired. shooting her
through the head and killing her in
stantly.
