ST. LOUIS, Nov. 6. - Election dav
opened here cool and crisp, with every
Indication of perfect day and heavy
vote. The polls were besieged early by
large lines Of voters anxious to cast their
ballots and get to business. As a result.
while the early morning voting was ex-
ceedinglY heavy it fell off toward 10
o'clock, as calm preceding the usual
noon rush.
From every point in the city the report
is made that voting is progressing in a
most orderly manner, no sign of trouble
appearing at any point. There is no
method Of judging of the character of
mitted until the polls close. However a
noticeable feature SO far has been the
larger proportion than usual of the bet
ter element of voters casting early.

OMAHA, Nov. 6.-The weather here is
raw, but the sun is shining and the pros
poets for the getting out of heavy vote
are good. Up to 10 o'clock only a light
vote had been polled in this city. but at
that hour the booths began to fill up to
their fullest capacity and the predictions
were that there would be no let up until
the polls closed at 6 o'clock.
There is no particular excitement on
the streets and no trouble has occurred
There has been some fraudulent regis
tration, but the vigilance of the election
officials will probably keep out most of
the fraudulent votes.
At 1 o'clock reports from all parts
of the state indicate the heaviest vote IN
the states history. The weather through
out the state is very favorable for a heavy
country vote, and the Populists are en-
couraged over the prospects. Severe
weather would have meant success of
the Republican ticket, but the situation
is now quite favorable to the fusion can
didates- On account Of the rumors of
fraudulent voting it is quite probable
that contest will occur on the state
ticket unless the plurality is overwhelm-
ing.

In the Twenty fifth district one Of the

played.
From several wards comes complaint

4 Chinese Description.

A Chinaman, lately returned from a
trip to Europe, treated his countrymeu
to the following description Of the piano;
THE Europeans keep large four legged
beast, which they can make 10 sing at
will. A man, or more frequently a wO-
man, or even a feeble girl, sits down in
front of the animal and steps on its tail,
while at the same time striking its white
teeth with his or her fingers, when the
creature begins to sing. The singing,
though much louder than a birds, is
pleasant to listen to. The beast does not
bite, nor does it move, though it is not
tied up."-Neue Blatt.
