SOME ELECTION FIGURES.


The FREE PRESS will not vouch for
the correctness of the total number
of votes given to the various candi-
dates for State officials, but the Min
neapolis Penny Press claims to have
them official and upon the assumption
that they are correct, some rather
interesting deductions are figured out.
In making our comparison we have
omitted from the list the vote on
chief and associate justices of the
supreme court, also the Prohibition
vote. The court officials being clearly
non-partisan, more independence in
voting was exhibited than on the
candidates for other offices. The
Prohibition vote, as givenIoby the
Penny Press is not correct, hence it
cannot be considered. Only SO votes
in the Second district are credited to
the candidate for congress, while
Blue Earth county alone, gave him
upwards of 200.
On the Republican state ticket
aside from the supreme court candi-
dates, Albert Berg, secretary of state
elect, received the highest number of
votes, his total being Isl, 906, r. G.
Dunn, state auditor-elect receives the
lowest number, 5,027. Gov. Nelson
received just about the average vote
of the entire state ticket-14S, 060.
The claim has been so profusely
made and so frequently reiterated
that the Populist party came out
second best in the race, that lew
figures of the true status of the votes
may not come amiss.
For comparison we take the total
vote cast for the Republican, Demo.
crat and Populist candidates for gov,
ernor, lieut-governor, secretary OF
state, state auditor, treasurer, attor,
ney general and clerk of supreme
court. Taking the total vote of these
candidates we ind the average to be;
Republican ............ Jas, 4S5
Democrat. ............ 66,S6S
POpuliSt.. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Ga, 454
The average majority of Republican
candidates over Democratic is 81, 6l7.
The average majority of Democratic
candidates over Populist is 2,414.
In this comparison the Populists
have been treated more than fairly
for we have included the candidate for
governor whose vote was 1929 greater
than the average vote given to the re,
naming candidates on that ticket.
The average .Populist vote excluding
Mr.. Owen from the count is 60, 366
while the average Democratic vote
excluding Mr.. Bierman who ran r..
735 votes ahead of the average of his
ticket, is $3.50. In other words, the
seven Democratic candidates above
enumerated, received an aggregate OF
16,S9S more votes than did the Popu
lists, while if we exclude both Over
and Bierman from the count, the
Democrats walloped the Populists
27,216.
From this showing the Demo
Gratis should take heart and smile.

A Small Business.

Complaint is being made that every
morning shortly before the Regulator
leaves, freight train is stopped on the
Court street crossing, and is not cut in
two, SO that it is almost impossible to
get to the wharf. If this note of warn
ing is not needed, steps will be taken at
once to see that the same is stopped.
The o. R. N. backed by the United
States, and running under the direction
of the United States courts, ought to be
able to manage its business without re-
sorting to petty and contemplate tricks
like that mentioned. If it isn't able and
willing to do so, it will be made to show
respect for the rights of our people.

The Congregational concert.

It is a pleasure to write up a program
like that given at the Congregational
church last evening. Every number
was gem. The audience, though fair
in size, was not so large as it should
have been to merit such an entertain
ment. The ladies of the church, assist
ed by their friends, had done some very
hard work in training the little tots to
their parts, and the hearty applause
obeyed instruction. Much credit is dne
Mrs. Collins for her care in training the
children for the hoop drill. The action
and time were perfect, and the girls,
clad in white and blue, made pretty
sight. The famous class of Mrs. Condor
went through their parts perfectly, re-
f1ecting credit on Mrs. Condor and Miss
Burk of Oakland, who generously gave
her time and assistance. The ladies
wish to thank also Mrs. Peters, who
kindly helped in making the evening a
success. The committee in charge,
Mrs. S. L. Brooks, Mrs. Huntington
and Mrs. E. M. Wilson, can be pleased
at the success of the entertainment.
The program opened with song by
six young ladies, which was beautifully
rendered. The young ladies sang pref
tily and looked well, which made an ir-
resistable combination.
Whenever the church choir sings
there is sure to be good music, and it
was especially go last night. The double
quartette, composed of the choir and
one or two friends, gave charming Sc
lection.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. s. Myers read dia-
logue. which was very well received by
their hearers.
Little Leila Kelsay sang solo IN a
winning manner. She is but a little
girl, but has remarkably voice for one
SO young.
Jamie Huntington recited about
Hanging Up Baby's Stocking in a
captivating way. His face beamed with
good nature, and he was not in the
least afraid of speaking in clear good
tones.
A song by the male quartette was well
liked by the audience.
Mr.. B. s. Huntington favored the aud
itors with reading a selection about the
landing of the Pilgrim Fathers. Mr..
Huntington is an exceptionally good
reader. and was at his best last evening

HOOD Riyer PARK Addition.


A gentlemang writes from Seattle to
the county clerk to the effect that be is
administrat6 of an estate that owns q
lot in Hood River Park addition to The
:Dalles, and requests information as to
how far it is from this place, and It's
probable value. Although he has been
advised as to all matters he inquired
about, for the benefit of the public gen.
orally Nwe will state that Hood River
Park addition, which was advertised by
Portland real estate sharks as being
Zone mile from Hood River" is about
nine miles from that little city; is situ-
ated one mile from Hood river, instead
of the town; is piece of overwhelmingly
worthless land, not worth the govern
ment price, and capable of supporting
about one brood of grouse, if they are
good rustlers, to the section. These are
the Hood River lots that were given
away as a chrome with theater tickets,
the unlucky holders of said tickets be-
ing charged $3.50 for the deeds. This
brought the land up to about $40 an
acre. It was dead cold swindle, and
those who originated the scheme should
now be in the penitentiary.

DAN KILEY's TRIAL.
It Will Come UP in the Superior Court
This Morning.

Dan Kiley will be tried in the superior
court to-day on the charge of numbering
Robert Finley, who was known among
his associates as Bud the Kid. The trial
will no doubt be an interesting one in
many respects
The killing took place on the early morn
ing Of July in the saloon formerly kept
by Kiley & Massart at Broughton and
Drayton streets. and was said to have
been the result of quarrel over the di-
vision of spoils among several gamblers,
who had been playing just previous to the
trouble. Finley and Kiley had some
words in the saloon, and according to the
evidence the former started to strike the
latter with a leaden billy when Kiley
grabbed a knife from behind the counter
and in the tussle that followed, Finley
received his death wound
The coroner's jury that investigated the
case brought in a verdict of voluntary
manslaughter, and Kiley was afterward
released on bond. A number of Savan-
nah's well known sporting men will ap-
pear as witnesses in the trial. and it will
no doubt be watched with much interest

Among the great web-spinning spiders
is the Halba of Madagascar which spins
shining golden-yellow threads strong
enough to bear the weight of one of these
cork helmets, such as travellers wear in
warm countries. They have woman's suf-
frage in the Halba family, where the fe-
male considerably outweighs the males,
and is correspondingly "bossy." She
grows to the quite remarkable length of
five and a half inches, while he, poor fell
low, never gets beyond the quite insignifi-
consequence, when she, in all the glory
of her shining gold curass with a silvery
down on it, spreads her five red, black
tipped legs in the midst of her shining gol-
den web, he has to keep at a respectable
distance, and seeks the seclusion of his
club, for he has no rights in that web
which his more mighty spouse is bound
to respect. She is a very industrious spin
ner, and l have no doubt that the airs of
superiority she takes over her husband are
largely due to the fact that she realizes
she is the breadwinner of the family. She
has been known to spin, in little less than
a week, 1921 yards. For over $50 years men
have tried to utilize spiders silk for weav-
ing fabrics with but discoura ging success.
lie Bon, about the beginning of the last
century, succeeded in making gloves of
it, and Louis XIV. has pair Of hose made
of the thread. The web Of the Halba and
one or two American spiders have led Dr.
Wilder of Cornell University TO hope that
he might still make spider webs CONNER
cially valuable. The thread is quite as
long as that of the silkworm, one species
in Jamaica spinning a thread sometimes
three miles long, but the chief difficulty
lies in obtaining long thread unbroken.

HOW THE Two-oENr FARES 60.
The City and Suburban VIII Stick 70
the Penny Fares.

It appears from the statement of the
officials that there was little noticeable
decrease in the travel on the Price street
line Of the Electric railway yesterday, al
though the fare was increased from to .
cents Sunday. however. is not a good
day to judge from as the travel on all the
lines is generally heavier than during the
week days, and especially is this so on
the lines which handle the Thunderbolt
business.
Superintendent Mcfarland OF the Elec-
trio railway lines said that so far as he
could see there was no decrease TO speak
Of in the travel over that Of the preceding
Sunday. The Thunderbolt business. he
said, was very heavy. and the only falling
OF that was apparent was
that Of large number OF
small boys who were in the habit of
getting on the cars TO ride around just
because it was cheap. He is of the opin-
ion that the receipts Of the Price street
line will be greatly increased, while there
will be little falling off in the travel on the
part Of the patrons of the line.
The City and Suburban will stick to the
1-cent fare; at least Mr.. ]. n. Hartman
says so, and what he says about that
road generally goes" Mr.. Hartman has
been spending some time on Warsaw
Island and only returned to the city late
Saturday night. He knew nothing of the
Electric Railway advancing its fares to
cents until he was told of II by a Morn
ing News reporter. When asked If the City
and Suburban would follow suit and in
crease its fares, he said it VIII not. His
company is satisfied with the business it
is doing and does not propose to change
its programme
