Tor several years been considered by all his

Native Flax in Nevada,

Although the fact appears to be
little known, Nevada produces ma
tive fax which is precisely the same
iii appearance as the cultivated va.
riety. The wild flax, however, is a
perennial plant, the root sending up
new stalks every spring, whereas the
common flax is an annual and re.
1uires the sowing of new seed each
season. The ordinary flax cultivated
In Europe and America is a native OF
Egypt and some parts of Asia. 1t
does not seem to be known to our
scientists in the Atlantic States that
the same plant, except that it is Pc
rennial, is indigenous to the Great
Basin region of the Pacific Coast
1t grows in and about the noun
tain meadows, and attains a height
of about three feet. Before the
whites came to this country the In
dians gathered this wild flax and
used it in making nets for catching
fish and rabbits. The stalks produce
long, very strong and beautiful
Cher. The flowers are blue, and the
seed capsules are round and firm. 1t
might be worth while to cultivate
this wild flax, being native to the
country, and it might prove of
greater value in some respects than
the variety at present grown Ter.

BATTLE WITH AN OCTOPUS.
Five Fishermen Have Terrible
Experience.

A huge octopus was hoisted on
Fisherman Wharf on Thursday al
ternoon from Capt. Charles Collins
boat, and the four members of the
crew shuddercd as they handled it
and told of their terrible fight far out
from the land. The monster covered
a large section of the wharf, and its
long tentacles were avoided by the
curious crowd with dread. Several
of the fish are caught each week ana
brought to the dock by the curious
boats of the fishermen, but never had
so large one been carried in through
the Heads as the one caught by Cap
tain Collins and his crew. The long
tentacles when spread apart measured
about twenty-five feet from tip to tip,
and they were armed all the way
along with dreadful saucer-like
mouths that sucked the life from
their victims.
"It was a fearful fight that we had
with the monster" said Captain
Collins, in his broken Greek, "and it
is only by miracle that / am here
to tell of it.. Wednesday morning
we commenced to take up our lines
as usual. There came a violent
tug at the line, and Il huge
arm of the monster flashed out
of the water and landed across
the gunwale of the boat. In an in
slant it fastened its tenacious suck
ers, while the water about the boat
was lashed into a foam. An octopus
can be killed almost instantly if it
can be stabbed just below the eye,
even if the weapon be only the small
blade of pocket knife, and when
the fellow rose so close to me and
presented such a good opportunity
for the death blow, | reached for the
boat-hook and made a lunge for the
vital spot. As | did so the boat
careened violently, and instead OF
dispatching the brute only inflicted
wound that maddened the monster
the more The battle then became
one of life or death between us. A
couple more of the arms of the octo-
pus had by this time been wound
around the boat and they reached
from stem to stern. The boat was
completely enveloped by them, and
all hands were kept busy to escape
being caught in the clutches of the
relentless suckers. The small craft
rolled and rocked in the arms of the
monster, and every moment.it it threat
ened to throw all five of us into the
water. Blows had no effect on the
huge tentacles. The men belabored
what parts of the fish they could
reach with clubs, but the effect was
like pounding a piece of rubber.
Zone of the stout fshhooks had
caught securely in the body of the
brute and couple of the men began
to haul in on the stout line. Steadily
the men hauled away until the body
was dragged upward and as it reached
the surface the sharp spike of the
boat hook was driven with hand Of
desperation deep into the brute's
body just below the eye ana the vic.
tory was won. ."-[San Francisco Ex-

machine. The good government clubs and
the men generally who are weary yielding
their independence to any party were po-
tent factors in bringing about the result.
The chances are that these independents
will stay with the republican party in the
state as long that party stands for good
government. The republicans worked in a

The democrats have elected but FIVE Con-

THREE DISTRICTS IN DOUBT
All That the Republicans Can Hope
for In Virginia.

Special Dispatch to The Evening star
PF,TERSBJyItG. Va, November THE
result of the election throughout the coun-
try yesterday is the all-absorbing theme
here today and but little else Is being talk
ed of or discussed. The republicans are
highly elated at the sweeping victory they
achieved in New York. Here in Virginia
Il is believed that the democrats have car
ried every district in the state with the ex-
ception Of the fourth, ninth and tenth.
which are still in doubt. 1t will be late
tonight before the official vote from each
precinct In the fourth district Is received.
as the returns are coming in unusually
SLOW.
Mr. William r. McKenney. the democratic
candidate for Congress from the fourth dis
trict, received telegram this morning
which stated that Prince Edward county,
with two precincts to hear from. give him a
majority of 90 Nuremberg county gives
Mckenney a majority of between 400 and
800 Nine PEseiRfts in Meekienberg county
to hear from. His estimated majority In
the county viii be about Zoo. Mr.. McKen-
ney stated today that he was confident of
his election. but what his majority would be
he was unable TO SAY.
Mr.. II. T. Thorp of Mecklenburg county.
the republican candidate for Congress from
this district telegraphed here this morning
that he is elected by large majority. 1t is
certain that the contest between Mckinney
and Thorp Is very close, and no man can
tell which of the two candidates has been
elected until the official returns are all in.
The republicans, however, appear very con-
fident that Thprp has been elected by
considerable J. majority. Gen. Malone was
I'D until a Tate hour last night receiving
election returns, and he appears much
pleased at the victory the republicans have
achieved in New York.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, November 7.-As an indorse
nent Of yesterdays political revolution
prices were bid up from l-2 to IL per cent
at the opening Of today's stock market on
a good volume of business. The effort to
make initial figures reflect the enthusiasm
Of the street was a trifie too theatrical to
be permanently effective. First prices were
therefor the best for the day. Selling for
both accounts was naturally attracted by
the suddenness of the advance and senti-
mentality was forced to yield to more SUBJ
stantial arguments.
The sentiment of the street, however, Il
decidedly improved by the character Of yes
terday's victory, as the tariff and silver
questions are less likely to be peryer.a ed
into NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. arguments.
The inability OF the popuists to extend
their influence In legislative circles Is also
reassuring to the financial world generally,
improvement, to be beneficial, must be con.
sentative. and during the process rallies
and reactions must follow each other. with
the former course the more clearly defined.
Sugar opened at an advance Of 1-2 per
cent. but declined 3 on liberal selling later
In the day. Opinion differs as to the sig
nificance of yesterdays elections as applied
to this property. The Introduction Of
free sugar bill. with a reasonable proba-
bility of its becoming a law at the next
session of Congress, is considered newt
able by the bears on the stock, while the
bulls refer with significant emphasis to the
defeat Of such an attempt a few months
ago. The alienation of these opinions will
be utilized by the manipulating interest to
profitable advantage during the winter
months. The balance Of the industriala
sold off in sympathy with the general mar
ket.
London sold Denver preferred and In
vested the proceeds in ST. Paul but had
little other business on this side.

EARTHQUAKES IN. KENTUCKY.
The Democrats Are AstOunded at the
Rcsufis Of the Election.

Special Dispatch. tp The Evening Star.
LOUISVILIEt KY, November mot
since 1862 has Kentucky experienced such
a political upheaval as turned things topsy-
turvy yesterday. The old-stagers of both
parties are wondering If 1t is dream or
reality. Many counties elected republican
officers for tffei first time and in all the
democratic majority was reduced.
In this city and county the democrats
lost everything, with two exceptions.
Evans for Congress defeated his demo-
cratic opponent by $500 votes. The VIC
tor Is the former commissioner Of internal
revenue, and one of the famous 1906" who
stood by President Grant in the Chicago
convention.
The democrats have elected Hendrick in
the first, Clardy in the second Berry in
the sixth, McCreary in the eighth, while
the republicans have elected Hunter in
the third, Evans in the fifth, Denny in the
seventh and Pugh in the ninth.
Judge Montgomery telegraphs to the
Evening Post, saying that he is defeated
by Lewis (republican), in the fourth dis
trict From the best obtainable Informal
ton, 1t is thought Colston (republican) has
carried the eleventh over Congressman
Adams. All is uncertainty in the tenth,
though the latest reports claim the election
of Hopkins, republican, for the full term,
and of Judge Beckner, democrat, to fill the
vacancy caused by the death Of Lasle. The
republicans have certainly elected five men,
bers Of the House. the democrats four,
leaving two doubtful. with the chances In
favor Of the republicans.
