One of the most interesting topics
Of household economy is that Of the
cost of bread. The loaves purchased
at the bakers are the same price and
same size as when wheat was so cents
to Sl,OO bnshel. Two bushels can
be bought now for one then and yet
there is no change in the loaf. Flour,
indeed, seems too high for the price
Of wheat but the bread is proportions
ately higher yet. An authority,
claiming to know, says "a pound
Of flour makes u little over one and
one-third pounds Of bread. Flour
sells at from one and onc-half to two
cents per pound. Pound loaves could
be sold at three cents at fair profit,
and six loaves for quarter gives the
baker q good margin" 1t is the
poorer class Of people that patroniac
the bakers the most and 1t Is due to
them that, II reduction in price or
an increase in size of the loaf is posi-

notice the sale Of money orders and the

Many explanations and attempted
explanations will be given of the re-
suit in Kansas at Tuesdays election.
But there is really only one reason
for the remarkable verdict in favor of
the Republican party and in the con-
domination Of the Lcwelling gang and
l.cwelling himself and the principles
Of Populism. The history Of the al
legged reformers and their record as
officials have been their own condem-
nation. Starting out with rainbow
tinted pictures Of Utopian glory to
follow their reign, the reality proved
a most tremendous disappointment
and the people have passed in right
eous Judgment, exactly as was de-
served.

Here is something for Dickinson
county farmers to think Of 1t will
make them more glad than ever that
they voted as they did and inspire
them TO do it again. The Mckinley
law put tariff Of ten dollars per
head upon all cattle importedinto the
United States. The Wilson bill sub
stituled for the ten dollar specific
duty 4 twenty per cent ad valorem
duty Under the old law, on an ami
nal valued at twenty dollars the duty
was ten dollars. Under the Wilson
law the duty on an animal OF the
same value is four dollars. The cat
tlemen Of Colorado and New Mexico
are alarmed and claim the ultimate
result will be utter ruin to them.
The results will soon be felt in Kan
sas. Every Mexican steer sold in
Kansas City displaces a steer that
should have been raised in Kansas.
Six to eight dollars, the difference be-
tween the old and the new tariffs, re-
presents more than the profit per
head on cattle, and where the growers
made money before, they have d.
rect loss staring them in the face
now, Is it not worth while to work
for Republican control Of the entire
national government to get the Will
Son bill repealed

compare numbers

This is perhaps the most significant
feature Of the election. 1t shows that
Republicanism is more popular in the
South than Democracy is in the North
and the real national party is the
Republican. OF the forty-four states
in the Union the Democrats carried
last Tuesday not more than ten or
eleven on the congressional vote, Or
one-fourth. The total Democratic
majorities in these states will not be
over 25O, 900, leaving the Republicans
with a clear majority Of lover l,OO0,0
in the whole Union. The meaning of
such magnificent majority cannot
be mistaken.

A farmer living west of here has
kept a tally on the campers wagons
bound east passing his house since
July so and says that over 1000
wagons have been recorded. That
means great deal, for the same ratio
is probably existing all along the CEN
trail counties of the state. Kansas
has doubtless lost 100000 people in
the past year, 1t is nothing to be
ashamed of. They have gone out Of
western Kansas where farming has
not been fruitful and cannot succeed

northern states being included:

Oregon, which held its election in
June, and Maine and Vermont, which
held their election in September, are
included, as it is fair they should be.
California is also credited with a Re-
publican plurality, which it undoubt-
eddy will have on congressman. The
Republican plurality in Nebraska
will be larger than that claimed on
both congressman and the state ticket
below governor. If the Republican
candidates for governor in California
and Nebraska are defeated it will be
due to divisions on local questions,
an open contest in each state having
been made in the Republican party
against the Republican ticket. But
even the above table does not measure
the full size Of the Republican victory.

features of the election which should

Murder OF a Buffalo Man Whose Morals Were
Not OF the Best

BUFFALO, April 8o.-Montgomery Gibbs,
who left the city editors desk Of the old
Evening Republican, this city, to go into
a lawyers Office 10 years ago, and who be-
came one of the best known members Of
the bar and prominent real estate dealer,
was mysteriously murdered on Delaware
avenue, Buffalo's most fashionable street,
shortly before 10 o'clock Saturday night.
The murder was committed on the
roadway leading into the premises of Miss
SQuire's, at No. a. Gibbs was taken to
the general hospital, but died Just after
he had been lifted on the operating table
or about three minues after he had ar
rived.
The police confess that they have not a
single clew. The most plausible theory
In that there IL "A woman at the bottom of
the affair There IL no doubt that Gibbs
was a man who was very fond of the
society of young married women. II is
asserted positively that he has been en-
gagged In more than one liason of this
kind.
II seems to be almost a moral certainty
that Gibbs was killed either by a woman
with whom he had trifisd. or by the hus-
band or lover of some woman with whom
he had had dealings. The police think
he was decoyed TO the spot where he was
killed. No trace of his movements on
Saturday night between the time he left
his home, 7:30 o'clock, and the time of the
murder can be found. =.

NOWFOR THEPENNANT
AuSpiClous Opening Of The
New England Series.
PAWTUCKETS BEAT BANGOR
Mayor Tiepke and Other DiSnitaries
Witness the Contest.

With showery weather and lowering
clouds that every moment threatened a
deluge the inaugural game of the New
England League championship series was
played on the Dexter street grounds Sat-
urday afternoon, In the presence OF 800
spectators.
The crowd began to file In the grounds
long before 3 o'clock and the capacity OF
the bleacbe was severely tested In short
order. IL was the intention to have
both teams parade to the grounds, but
the non-arrival OF the uniforms OF the
Pawtuckets until the last moment changed
the plan as 1t was decided not to pass In
review with job lot suits.
To those who were present for the first
time this season the improvements made
to the grounds came In for much praise.
After little more rolling the inheld will
be In fine shape for fast work.
Mayor Tiepke and many members OF
the City Council occupied seats in the
grand stand and were much elated over
the result.
Only three innings had been played
when the weather clerk gained the dis
pleasure OF the cranks and the showers
continued at intervals throughout the
game. The nome team looked chipper In
their pretty uniforms which were set of
to pei fection by maroon sweaters.
But the most important feat ure OF the
occasion was the victory scored b. the
Pawtuckets. They played perfect held-
ing game and acquitted themselves in a
very cree ita bic manner. The score was 8
to /, but as a matter of fact IL should have
been a shut out.
Fournier aod Roach were the battery
for the Pawtuekets, their work being Of
the gilt edge order. The, Bangors could
not hit Fourni enough to do snyldsma ge
and he showed his control OF the |, ather
by striking out men at times when a hit
would have been disastrous.
For the visitors Hart and Gray at
tempted to do the fooling, but were not
so successful as the Pawtucket battery.
Their work was OF the finest order, now
ever. Only seven hits were made off
Gray, but all were opportune. tournisr
demonstrated the fact that re can be de-
pended upon for any of the important
games OF the season.
With he Bangors is Chippy Duggsn, a
Pawtucket boy. He played steady game
and was presented with pair of cuff but
tons when he came to the bat for the first
time.
Bangor had two men on bases frequent.
ly, but could not score until the seventh.
The features OF the game was the timely
batting OF Bannon, Robinson, Wise and
Roach aud the sensational catch by Ban
non in the eight. Bangors' inheld play
was perfection with the exception of a
fumb BILE by Moore.
