JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-. Nov 10-The

Democrats will have majority on joint
ballot in the legislature of 81. On this
basis the house will stand AS follows:

the Fusionists everything with the excep-

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 10.-The Repubii-
cans of Kansas have suffered sore defeat
The returns from all the counties, the
last of which We're received at 10 o'clock
tonight, show that the third party has Il
majority OF 4 327 on president. The Re-
publicans saved from the wreck three
congressman out of eight and
the legislature by the small
plurality of one. The majorities on the
state ticket are slightly below that of
Weaver. The Republicans concede their
defeat. Chairman Simpson of the Re-
publican committee admits that the face
of the returns shows fusion victory, but
saws that he will not give up hope until
the official canvass shows a Republican
defeat.
The full returns show that the legsla-
cure stands thus: In the senate there are
seventeen Republicans and twenty-three
populists; in the house, siXty-five Repub-
licans, fifty-eight populists and two Demo
Gratis. These figures show Republican
plurality of one on joint ballot, with
Two Democrats holding the balance of
power. The publicans. however, have
"A sufficient majority to organize the house
and will probably unseat enough popu-
lists and seat enough Republicans to give
them majority on joint ballot, and thus
insure the election of Republican sena-
tor.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 10-The Democratic
and populist state central committees
here claim this morning that Weaver and
Lewelling have carried the state by from
5000 to 10000. The Republican central
committee admits that Bruce for auditor
Is defeated, but claims that Smith will be
elected by from 500 to 1000 majority.
The general belief at Topeka is that the
Republican state and electoral tickets are
defeated, and that not more than two or
three Republican congressman have been
chosen. The legislature is close.
An incident of some note is the fact of
the election of Harris for congressman-at-
Iarge. He is an ex-Confederate soldier,
and is the first eX Confederate ever elected
30 congress in northern state. 1t is also
Of considerable interest that he was elected
not by the voters of single district. but

Mourning Customs Among Egyptians
Greeks and Romans

Mourning Customs Among Egyptians,
Greeks and Romans
With the Hebrews, as with the an
Gent Egyptians, the Greeks and the
Romans, death was but the end Of hfe's
journey. the finishing of a laborious pill
grimage. the passage to life through a
gloomy gate that admitted the soul Of
the deceased into the company of his
forefathers who had gone before. The
departed was gathered to his people,
went down to the grave to themi he
who had been q sojourner, as were all
his fathers before him, went hence into
the unseen. world.
The idea of the soul being received
into the presence OF God at death was
apparently not commonly taught, and
in effect Is asserted only IN two pas
sages in the Old Testament In Eccles-
tastes xii :, where the preacher points
out that the dust tthe body) shall re-
turn TO earth as IL was, and the spirit
shall return unto God who gave it, :"
and in Hargai ii. %, where the Lord
saws to Zeru bha bel, the son OF Shealtiel,
I'm that dav will l take thee
and will make thee as signet;
for / have chosen thee"

idea of departure or dismissal, they
