Official Paper Of the City of Aberdeen
THE ELECTIONS.

The state elections which were held On
Tuesday, and which have been looked
forward to as giving an indication as to
the result Of the presidential election next
year, show that that contest will be a
struggle for supremacy between two we'll.
matched bodies. While the Republican E
are apparently jubilant, having carried
the doubtful states and seem to have also
captured Delaware, their victory, If such
it may be called, has been secured at the
cost of fearfully reduced majorlties, and
they know that the struggle next year
will be life and death one to themselves
though the advantages arising from the
panic be in their favor.
For Pennsylvania, which last year gave
the Republicans plurality Of 254 900,
they only claim 10000; New York they
claim by 10000. which last year gave
them $4,000; in Ohio 10000 is their
claim, while last year they had 49,
600; New Jersey gives them 5000 in
stead of $4,000; Iowa according to their
figures will give them 5000 in place Of
$4,000 last year; Massachusetts they say
will give them trife under their las,
years plurality Of IS 900; only little Del
aware gives them a shadow OF claim tc
victory, and that, if it shows anything
shows that the Democrats have rebuked
German for DESERVING the principles of his
party for those principles OF favoritisn
called by Republicans, protection.
But these figures are only the claims o.
the Republicans, and they are COOL al
claiming everything in sight the morning
after election. The facts will probably
show; Pennsylvania 100000, New Yorh
$1,000, Ohio 10000, Massachusetts, 80,
900, Iowa 10000, New Jersey 5000, anc
Maryland 0. II they can find any conso
lation in these figures they are welcome
to it. There is one cause for rejoicing
and that is that, with the exception o
Mississippi, where the question OF free
silver was raised the sound money forces
won, the free silver gubernatorial candi
date in Kentucky narrowly escaping
though standing on a sound money plat
form.

A COMPLETE MEDICATION.

A few months ago Special Agent Free
man OF the general land office was ordered
to inspect the claims OF settlers in town
ship 81, range 8. Upon his arrival in
this county he fell in with gang OF claim
jumpers, who persuaded the unsophist:-
Gated agent that, except themselves, the
settlers in that township were scoundrels
and perjurers and not entitled to hold
their claims, and at the same time giving
him to understand that L. :. Circuit
Court Commissioner Sutton was aiding
them to gobble the land. Without farther
investigation Inspector Freeman made
such report to the general land Office as
to greatly annoy and harass the settlers
many Of whom, owing to errors in the
survey, had been on their claims over
eight years. His report further advised
that Commissioner Sutton be excluded
from taking land proofs, alleging that he
was acting as attorney for the fraudulent
entrymen. Shortly after the filing OF the
report Mr.. Sutton was notified by the
local land Office that he must take no
more proofs. Commissioner Sutton at
once appealed to U. S. Judge Haniord,
under whom he holds his commission,
and requested an investigation as to his
conduct OF the Office. This investigation
resulted in the complete exoneration of
Mr.. Sutton and an order to that effect
was entered upon the records OF the court.
Still our commissioner was by order OF
land office debarred from doing land
business. Repeated communications to
the commissioner OF the general land Of
flee appeared to be of no avail until yes
terday when Mr.. Sutton received the fol-
lowing telegram:
Washington, d. c., Nov. 4, 1895.
II. NJ. SUTTON, Montesano, Wash.
Register and Receiver notified to re-
woke their order excluding YOU from act
ing as .. s. Commissioner in land cases
until further order.
5. w. LAMoREux,
Commissioner General Land Office.
This was good news, not only to
"Harry" and his friedds but to the set
tiers who desire to prove up on thier land
and save the expense OF trip to Olympia
in so doing.
For about thirteen years Mr.. Sutton
has done land business with the settlers
Of this county in various official capacities
and his uniform accuracy, courtesy and
accommodating spirit have made him a
host OF friends, and it is pleasure to
note that this charge-the first ever made
against him-has proved to be without
foundation.

BACTERIA AND COlORS.
Blue Rays Kill Germs, but Red Does Not
Much Affect Them.


Although investigation has rot been
idle. experimenters have not been Who'll
" agreed as to the exact property or
field of the sun rays which is most eff
ficient in action on bacteria and fungi.
The inquiry has been continued by
Professor H. Marshall Ward, to whom
the thought occurred in the course Of
bis work that the most direct answer to
the question, Which rays are the most
effective ones? might be best obtained
By shining the solar spectrum directly
upon the film Of spores, and making it
record the effects by their subsequent
behavior, according as the different
groups Of rays fell upon them-in other
words, by obtaining photograph Of the
spectrum in living and dead bacteria.
The results showed conclusively that
the rays that kill the bacteria are the
blue and violet ones. An observation
was made during the investigation
which may go far to account for the I'M.
satisfactory character of the determine
tons Of former experiments.
The chief difficulty to be overcome
vas the great weakening Of the inten-
sity Of the dispersed rays Of the beam Of
light decomposed to form the spectrum,
weakening caused By the distribu.
ton Of the incidence Of the rays over a
larger area and by their absorption and
reflection i'll passing through the lenses
and prisms
1t was found also, in working with
the electric light, that the power Of the
blue and violet rays was further i'm
paired-in other words, that they were
stopped-by the material glass through
which they had to pass.
Tie effect Ct the glass was practically
the same as that Of mist or haze in the
atmosphere, which so filters out the
blue violet rays that the light of a dull
day was Of little effect in the authors
experiments
These difficulties We're overcome by
using quartz instead of glass, with
which it was possible to obtain very
pure spectrum sufficiently rich in blue
and violet rays to kill the spores in q
few hours. The author found it easy to
obtain satisfactory results in the sum-
mer with solar rays, even with glass
lenses, mirrors, ETC., and exposures Of
five or six hours, but in winter the ex-
posures required to be so long as to be
almost impracticable. Popular Science
