ton and Wyoming into the union since
1888 added 10 electoral votes. the other
Il being given to the older states under
the new apportionment bill. This add
ton of electoral votes does not multiply
the element of uncertainty in the coming
national contest so far as the democratic
party is concerned, but it makes the
election of Harrison a matter of pure
speculation. Conditions have greatly
changed since 1888. States which have
been heretofore conceded to the republi-
cans are either wholly or in part lost to
them while others may very properly be
thrown into the doubtful column. A
careful and unprejudiced analysis of the
electoral vote would divide it as follows:

THE ELECTORAL VOTE,

The first electoral college in 1889 cast
but 60 votes. Washington receiving all
of them and ten states, only, voting. In
1888 the electoral vote was 4O1 of which
Harrison received 223 and Cleveland l68.
The electoral vote of 1892 is increased to
444 and it will require 223 electoral
votes to elect. The following table shows
the electoral vote of 1883 and that of
1892. Those marked with a star (#)
voted for Harrison in 1888; those un-
marked voted for Cleveland:

SOMETHING WE NEED.

Is there any man or set OF men in
Baxter Springs who arc opposed Ia
progress There is just now very
favorable opportunity for opening up
all along the line, but ii our progress
sive men arc TO be met at every point
with u vindictive dog-in-the-manger
opposition perhaps it would he of no
use 10 make all effort. When Gen.
Nettieton, president of the Memphis
road, was here u few weeks ago he
talked very favorably of not only put
ting on u dummy" train between
Baxter aud Webb City, but he was
ready and willing TO put in the spur
from the Memphis track 10 the dam.
To secure the right of way would cost
the city perhaps thousand dollars.
but could a better Investment be made
The taxes received from the road
would about pay the cost every year ;
McClung and Willard would manu-
factufe and ship about two millions of
brick per annuin; the -four mills aud
planning mills would he largely in
creased in capacity End an opportunity
would he afforded other manufacture
ers 10 come in aud utilize our water
power.
Two years ago the parties who OPP
posed the building Of the spur gave as
an excuse that this track would shut
out the Missouri Pacific, but no such
excuse can DC made now. The devel-
Opmcnl of our water power would
tend more than anything else TO bring
the Missouri Pacific and Frisco 10
Baxter Springs. We consider our
water power one Of tho greatest re-
sources Of the city and believe it will
some day be utilized 10 our advantage.
In view of the fac; that all are ILL
tprcsled IN the growth aud prosperity
of the city one would think there
would be no opposition TO the "spur"
or the dummy. But there will be.
Iconoclasls and Obstructionists are as
thick around Baxter az fleas on
Quapaw dog, aud they will find little
trouble in picking some flaw i'll any
measure proposed for the advance
nent of our interests. We hope the
progressionisls will do all that can he
done towards securing the dummy
line aud the "spur."

brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. W. j.
Bawden, No. 730 National avenue. at
10 80 O'Clock this morning, Mr.. Fred
Erwin and Miss Edna f. Bawden,
Rev. w. G. Porter officiating. The
parlors were beautifully decorated
with smilax and chrysanthemums.
After tho ceremony reception was
held aud many friends Of the happy
couple and the family attended. A
quiet dinner was spread 10 the imme-
dia,e relatives and friends and at
o'clock Mr.. and Mrs. Erwin departed
for their new home in Baxter Springs,

The groom is the son Of Capt. Hugh

kee county. He attended school in
this city some six years ago when he

right proudly calls wife. Mr.. Erwin
is a steady, energetic young business
man. For the past five years he has
resided on the Pacific coast to which
country they will go next spring to
make their future home.
The bride is the oldest daughter of
Hon. w. J. Bawden and was born in
Fort Scott. She is among the first in
society, has been member of the
Presbyterian church from girlhood,
and those who know her best love her
most. Her host Of friends console
themselves with the fact that for some
time at least her new home will not be
far from this city.
The reception was largely attended
by the friends of the happy couple
and family who extended their hearty
congratulations.
Tho bride was the recipient of a
large number of beautiful and valua-
bic presents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Erwin start in the re-
latiOn of husband and wife with the
blessings and best wishes of their
hosts of friends in which the Tribune

A MAGNIFICENT HOME.

The residence of L. Murray Perkin!
which il approaching completion II
worthy of more than passing notice
In construction, convenience, comfort
solidity, commodiousness and archi'
tectural design it is superior TO any
building of the kind in the county and
when completed will make u home
suitable for a prince.
The basement is of cut stone . feet
in the clear and is intended for laun'
drv. furnace, store rooms with u fire
proof and burglar proof vault wherein
can bc kept soda pop, sweet cideI, lem.
Onade, tomato catrup and other mid
commodities indigenous to Kansas.
The upper part of the house con-
structed from designs by we'll known
architect ia a model for convenience
and comfort. The first anal second
floors are to be used as living and
sleeping rooms with large attic
which is almost full story and can
be used for ball room or social pur-
poses of any kind. The inside finish
throughout came from the Baxter
Springs Manufacturing company, and
is not olly very tasteful in design, but
is made vi the various hard woods.
durable and handsome.
In point Ut s0lidity no house IN
Cherokee county is 80 substantially
constructed. Il is double shoathcd aud
the walls filled la with brick while
the first and second floors arr dead
ened with mortar aud gr0uIing, 80
that no ordinary Kansas cyclone will
have any appreciable effect upon it.
BY the building Of such an elegant
home in Baxter Springs Mr.. Perkins
has shown what sort OF ah opinion he
has of the future OF our city aud We
hope 10 sec his example followed 10y
other representative men So that we
may lie known Us the city at beautiful
homes. This hume is mol only grand
in itself, but is cllarmingly lO"aIed IN
the center of a lovely grove ct large
and magnificent oak and hickory trees
and taken altogether is about ~ desir-
able IA place To live as one could wish.

is the only route to the Pacific coast over
which both Pullman Vestibuled first-class
and Pullman Tourist Cars are operated from
Chicago via st. Paul without change.
Through train leaves Chicago every day at
10:45 p. m. The traveller via this route
passes through the most picturesque, inter
esting and prosperous belt of country In the
Western world. There is scenery with most
striking contrasts that range from the roll
ing prairie and the pine forest level to the
widest passes of the widest mountains in
the world.
There is a series of the nobest cities,
towns and villages OF every variety and size,
from the hamlet or the tiny farm, upward;
the richest mines in the world; the greenest
and most lasting pasturage; the widest
scenery on the continent; canons as weird
as a nightmare; hills, SHOWS and peaks
startling in the magniicence OF their beauty,
and perfection of comfort in travelling that
has never been surpassed.
