AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. Ito rain and
general apathy is due very light vote at
the state election. Though the Democrats
admit defeat they do not show a symptom
of encouragement. The Prohibitionists
and Populists are not largely in evidence,
so far as returns indicate. A heavy rain
put quietus upon the telegraph and tele.
phone wires early in the evening, but re.
turns have been received by the Associated
Press from over 100 cities and towns, and
these indicate that the S.ste has reelected
Governor Cleaves Repj over Charles f.

exceed $1,000.
This Is the largest in the history of the

mated that the legislature will have q

Manley, .chairmanl of Republican state
committee, sent a message to Henry B.
Cleaves at Portland, in which he claimed
that the state had gone Republican by IA
majority exceeding $1,000 as far as the
election for governor was concerned. In
1856 Hannibal Martin had Is, 600 majority,
Samuel Cory in 1865 had 26, 700 and
General Chamberlain had 27,000 in 1866,
the only times in the history of the state
that the majority has exceeded 10000
for the Republican party.
Chairman Manley photographed Senator
Frye as follows: "Kennebec gives $500
majority and elects a solid delegation.
Cleaves will have $1,000 majority over
johnson. We have carried every county.

the largest legislative vote ever given a

How Pointed Shoes Injure the Feet.

The fashion of wearing pointed toes
in boots and shoes has caused very
painful curvature. of the toes, from
which many people are at this moment
suffering. The great toe is bent in and
pushes one or more Of the smaller toes
out Of position, raising them on one
joint in form which the doctors call
hammer toes" Surgeons have provid-
ed for this an apparatus which is to be
worn all night, and if possible during
leisure in the daytime.
This consists of splint resembling a
sandal, which fits along the base of the
foot and is provided with tapes passed
under and over the toes, so as to bend
down the joint that has become raised.
The cure is almost painless one, and
if persevered in may avert the operation
of cutting the tendons underneath the
toe.

HOW TO CARE FOR THE FEET
attend TO Them Assiduously Through the
First Hot Weather.

The boots and shoes for summer wear
should be half size larger than those
worn during winter II possible, shoes
should be worn in warm days, as they
leave the ankle free and the circulation
better. II boots must be worn, they
should not be very high, and extremely
pointed toes and really high heels should
never even be thought Of by any one
who values peace of mind and comfort
The leather for summer should be light,
but not too thin, and brown in prefer
ence to black.
The evil effects of tight lacing will
be very soon realized by the woman
who has tender feet. The undue COM
preston adds tenfold to the pain, and
very often the ankles, even OF young
girls who are silly enough to sacrifice
their well being for the sake of having
waist of Is inches, are so swelled and
inflamed by the end of the day that
they are utterly shapeless
Soak the feet well in tepid water to
which little ammonia has been added
and as the water gets cold pour in lit
tie more hot to keep up the tempera-
ture. After drying the feet rub them
gently and thoroughly with the follow
ing mixture:
Add one ounce of the best linseed oil
to the same quantity of limewater,
shake the bottle in which the ingredi.
ents are until a mixture about the thick
ness of cream is produced; then pour
in half dram of spirits of camphor,
shake again, and it is ready for use.
The feet, after being rubbed, should
be wrapped in soft linen for little
while and then powdered with boraciC
acid before the stockings are replaced
In the event Of the feet and ankles be
ing in very inflamed condition, aftel
soaking them, as have described, apply
an arnica lotion, which will soon ALA,
the discomfort. This is made by adding
90 drops of tincture of arnica to half ;
cupful of tepid water. Saturate piece O
lint sufficiently large to envelop the en-
tire foot with the lotion, cover it will
q piece Of oiled silk and rest for an hou
or two.

CORN MAKES A BAD SHOWING.
A Large Percentage Cut Up or Abandoned
Wheat Better Than Last Year.


WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE report of
the statistician of the department of agri.
culture for the month of September shows
a decline in the condition of corn to GA
from 69.l in the month of August and
90 in the month of July. This is u de-
cline of 81 points from the August and
H.6 from the July condition. The change
is marked in nearly all of the great corn
states. The present condition is rs in Ke n
lucky, ~ in Ohio, IS in Michigan, so in
Indiana, rs III Illinois, 81 in Wisconsin,
60 in Minnesota, 40 in Iowa, so in Mis-
souri,, As in Kansas, u in Nebraska. and
16 in South Dakota. In most of the SOUTH
ern states the condition nv risen and a
good crop is certain.
In addition to the unfavorable prospects
arising from the low condition of the
growing crop reports from eight states
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Mis-
souri,. Kansas, Nebraska and South
Dakota-show that out of an aggregate
of DC, S73, 1884 acres planted in these states,
there have been cut up for fodder or
abandoned 10, SOC, 900 acres, or nearly 80
per cent. which is little over 20 per cent.
of the entire area planted in the country.
The percentage of that cut up or aban-
doned by states reporting is as follows:
Indiana, 06; Illinois, 10; Wisconsin, II;
Iowa, 35; Missouri, lG; Kansas, 81; Ne
braska, 81; South Dakota, 81.
The condition Of wheat, considering both
winter and spring varieties when harvest
ed, was S3.7. against "a last year and $50
in 1892 The reported conditions from the
correspondents for the principal wheat
growing states are as follows: Ohio, 1902;
Michigan, 81; Indiana, 1903; Illinois, 101
Wisconsin, 90; Minnesota, IS; Iowa, ~;
Missouri, 81; Kansas, So; Nebraska, 40;

the east: New York, Sc; Pennsylvania, 81;
Maryland, 90; Virginia (reports). 70; Ten
nessee, 7s; West Virginia, SO; Kentucky,
92; Texas, 92. In the principal wheat
states there has been considerable i'm
provement in conditions. In July report in
parts of the wheat region the crop is
fully up to expectation, and in other parts
the yield has exceeded expectation.
The average condition of oats is report
ed at IT'S against 765 Aug. /. The re-
turns for rye show an average condition
of $50 against so year ago. The condi-
tion of barley has risen nearly two points
during the month, the September average
standing at Il. 5 against 69.S in August.
The area under clover seed is reported at
u. o per cent of that for 1893. The condi-
ton is given at 60.2, which is much below
the average, thus indicating very short
crop. The condition of tobacco is t745
against IS o last month.
