Sill Nothing Absolutely Conclusive.
The latest issue of the Kansas City, No.
Journal still expresses hope of Major Warn
er's election as governor of Missouri Il al
30, but rather weakly hopes for republican
national victory.
The latest New York Tribune still con-
tended that Harrison Is elected, having 20
electoral votes, according to its count.
Most of the Chicago papers, and nearly all
New York papers, except the Tribune con-
coded the election of Cleveland.
Colorado, according to the Denver News,
has given its electoral vote to Weaver.
Nebraska is still problem, with neither
party making definite claims. Illinois Is
conceded to Cleveland, and with that has
elected democrat state ticket; Indiana,
stall in dispute, but republicans had the best
showing at the latest West Virginia claimed
by both, but probably for Cleveland The
same can be said of Connecticut and New
Jersey. All of New England, except Con
necticut, is republican. Michigan divides itS
electoral vote as expected.
Georgia straight democratic. Watson de-
feated for congress and Speaker Crisp re-
elected.
Minnesota seems to give Harrison five
electors; while the four Others upon whom
there was fusion, may be elected. Latest
gives South Dakota to Harrison. In Oregon
80 per cent of the democrats voted for
Weaver. Washington il probably republi-
can.
The south is still "solid," casting every
electoral vote for Cleveland, with the posi-
BILE exceptions of West Virginia and Della
ware.
In Kansas both central committees claimed
the electoral vote; republicans by 10, 200;
and fusionists by between 1O, 900 and II, 900.
1t seemed quite probable that Cleveland
carried Wisconsin, although it is extremely
close. In Nebraska it is believed that three
fourths of the democratic vote was given to
the Weaver electors. The condition of the
state canvass, at latest, give Harrison just
about the same mum Der OF votes cast as were
given to both Cleveland and Weaver.

Talleyrand was the greatest diplo-
matist of his day. His father was a
military officer. and the boy would
no doubt have been educated to the
same profession but for an accident
which befell him in childhood.
After the fashion of the time, he
was intrusted to the care of a wom-
an, some miles away from home.
while in her charge his foot was dis
located by fall. It was not properly
cared for, and his parents did not be-
come aware of the fact until it was
too late to correct the error.
The abnormal strain brought upon
the other foot soon induced lame
ness in that also, and the boy thus
became a cripple for life. This seem.

Occasionally, said retired bur

stances are very rare, and nothing
could be further from the truth than
the idea that burglary is a quick and

that the great majority of burglars
make but a scant living, and tomale
even that they must encounter many
difficulties and dangers. The bur

he takes.

luxury of Withdrawing single cent
from that bank, not even when I felt
that it would be one of the keenest
pleasures In the world to swagger up

from that number some 1O4 persons
