NAPA, CAL, March This morning

self-confessed murderer of Mrs. John @.

gard to Schmidt from Germany, which
cannot get here before that time.

Ukiah to identify the man Martin. ar
rested there as the missing Greenwood
murderer, returned this morning and

the interference Of Mahaffy's men.
Everything was comparatively quiet
around the polling places up to 10 o'clock.
The voters in the Second district of the
First ward crowded near the door, but
there was no trouble.
In the First district of the First ward
a deputy sheriff and deputy marshal
stood at the end of the thirty-foot line
and only allowed man inside when the
challenger raised his hand.
Taken all together the rules governing
the election were well observed.

ST PAUL, Mimi, Nov. S.-At Repub
lican headquarters conservative esti
mate is made that Nelson, Republican
candidate for governor, will have ma
iority Of $4,000 The Daily Globe,
Democratic, conceded 10, geo plurality for
Nelson. General indications point to a
much lighter vote for the Peoples party
than was given TO the Alliance party
at the gubernatorial election two years
ago. The counting OF the ballots will be
very slow tonight.
1T is not expected that the result Of
the vote in this county will be def
nitely known before noon tomorrow.
At Republican headquarters it is
claimed that FIVE of the Republican can
didates for congress will be elected and
that the legislature viii be Republican.
They also are confident that the nine
Harrison presidential electors will be

CHICAGO. Nov. s.-The anticipatlons
raised by the heavy registration in this
city have been fully justified by the un-
precedented vote cast up TO noon today.
The polling boothsopened promptly at
o'clock as the law directs, but even be-
fore that hour there were knots of voters
clustered around the voting places ready
TO deposit their votes. II is safe to say
that fully one-half Of the entire vote was
cast before 10 o'clock and save for few
struggling ballots, the judges and clerks
had little 20 do after noon.
Little can be said as to the complexion
Of the vote, further than that the indica-
tions are Of a pretty strict party vote on
the national ticket. Throughout the
state reports we're all Of heavy vote.

An amusing story is told in connection
with Professor Henry, of the Smithso-
MAN institution, who died some fourteen
years ago. It is told by a gentleman
who once travelled from Montreal to Bos
ton with the professor. He says that
while they were waiting for steame.
the professor WAS laxative and comma
NEGATIVE in his quiet way, and was full
of incidents Of travel and adventure.
Soon the steamer appeared in sight.
and while she was approaching us TIL
professor sat upon the wharf. looking
dreamily at her Presently he arouse
himself and said:
Il see peculiar sparkle of the wavcs
near the side Of the steamer, where tl4e
sun shines upon her" Qt was almost
sunset.) II wonder what the cause of i
ISL have seen phosporescent light he
fore, but neyer exactly like this. And
see, there IL is also upon the other, the
darker side of the steamer. Well. GER
tainly that is very curious"
We all looked Indeed it did seen
remarkable. First upon the bright side
Of the steamer and then upon the dark
side would appear these curious flashee
of light and disappear almost instantly
They seemed to come at regular inter
walls. and it was strange and beautiful
sight.
Our reveries were presently disturbed
by the approach of one of the customs
inspectors. He glanced at us with some
curiosity and then said. "Lookin Al
them hashes?"
Yes replied the professor, rousing
himself from his absorbed meditation ni
the phenomenon: II wonder what they
are"
.'Oh," said the inspector carelessly,
"them's hot asnes they're THROWN ont
of the ash pits"
The professor was noDplused for a
moment. Then he recovered his senses
and said quietly. We'll, well. live ami
learn--live and learnt" and lapsed into
silence. Youths Companion.
