With three states yet In doubt, it ID

ticket is elected by majority Of nearly
100 in the electoral college, and Of
1000, 600 plurality Of the popular vote.
New York, Pennsylvania. Illinois,
Massachusetts, and Ohio have rolled up
unprecedentedly tremendous majorities,
from 100, 600 to 100000. The rest is
detail, to be settled by complete re.
turns.
There are now three states in the
doubtful column-Kentucky, Wyoming
and South Dakota. In Kentucky 1t
will require the official count TO deter
mine the result, owing to irregulari.
ties. In Wyoming, the uncertainty ID
due to the slow returns. The latest re-
ports, however, indicate that Bryan
will get two Of the three votes. South
Dakota's vote on presidential electors
is tied. and an official count will be re-
quired to determine the result Repub.
lican managers have closed their office
with the above declaration.
The Republican candidate is now
sure of 260 electoral votes. The Other
states that were considered doubtful
Kansas, North Carolina, Tennessee

shielded them from disaster and point.

from Gods teachings and to follow
with sinful pride after their own de-
vices.
ITO the end that these thoughts
may be quiokened, it is fitting that. on

and occupations and assemble in their
accustomed places Of worship; let them
with one accord render thanks to the
Ruler Of the Universe for our preserva.
tion as nation, and our deliverance
from every threatened danger; for the
peace that has dwelt within our boun.
daries; for our defense against disease
and pestilence during the year that has
passed; for the plenteoua rewards that
have followed the labors Of our hus.
bandmen; and for all the other bless
ings that have been vouchsafed to us.
And let us, through the mediation
of Him who has taught us how to pray,
implore the forgiveness Of our sins and
a continuance of heavenly favor.
4 Let us not forget on this day OF
thanksgiving the needy, and by deeds
Of charity let our offerings of praise b.
made more acceptable in the eight Of
the Lord.
Witness my hand and the seal OF

some JUGGLING UNCOVERED
Street Commission Openings
Have Been Aired
THE CASES OF OVERCHARGE
At Least Three Streets Where Things
Look Queer
THE CASES OF OVERCHARGF
The Collections in the Norwood, Darwin and
CASTELAR, Street Openings Were Larger
Than the Amounts Allowed

The special committee of the council
which is isinvestigating the published charges
that certain of the commissions for the
opening and widening of some of the
streets of the city have been in the habit of
overcharging the property owners inter-
ested in these improvements, held it's frs
session yesterday afternoon. City Auditor
Fred Teale was called before the commit
tee to report progress in his examination of
the various warrants and accounts in
volved, and asked for more time in which
to complete his full report. The commit
tee will meet again today.
The auditor declines to give out his find
ings in the premises, and a big pressure
has been and is still being brought to bear
the alleged malfeasance. 1t is known,
however. that in at least three street OPEN
ings, more money was collected than was
allowed for the work performed.
In the opening of Norwood street the
amount allowed the commissioners and
aggregated $l55.O1. The commissioners
were j. Bayer, W. T. Myers and J. H.
Book and the clerk was Col. w. G. Schrie-
ber.
In the opening of Darwin street the
amount allowed was $225 ~ hile the amount
collected was $255. The commissioners
were r. Pollard, j. McIlwoil and N. E.
Davisson and the clerk was W. G.
Schneider.
In the opening of CASTELAR, street, the
mount collected was $1l17.95 and the
amount allowed was 1894. The commission
ers we're J. McIlwoil, c. r. johnson and
W. C. Hughes and the clerk was w. G..
Schneider.
The latter, it will be seen, was the most
serious overcharge of the three cases
named. The investigation of the auditor
has covered period of the two years past,
and is not by any means all of the in
stances of overcharges which are said to
exist. They are simply all which The
HERALD reporter has been of his own re-
sponsibility able to uncover.
The committee of investigation in the
present instance consists of Counci.men
Munson, Kingery and Pessell.

LOS ANGELES W, c, T, u,
rleeting Yesterday in the Interest of the
Ransom Home

reeting Yesterday in the Interest OF the
Ransom Home
Exercises of an interesting nature were
held in the First Baptist church yesterday
afternoon by the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union of Los Angeles, in the inter-
est of the Ransom Home, situated at Main
and Jefferson streets, which affords a tenn
porary shelter for friendless women, as
we'll as place of reform for the erring.
Mrs. NJ. S. Dimmick, president of the
board of directors, spoke of the foundation
of the home and of the good work accom-
plshed during the six years of its exist
ence, which was due to the influence of
Mrs. Markoe, former m atron, and one of
its founders.
Mrs. Dimmick made plea for the better
education of girls, both of high and low de-
gree, in self.knowledge. The value of a
mothers training in all directions that is
so noticeably absent in those who have
found refuge in the Ransom was also
dwelt upon. The attention of the philan-
thropically inclined, the speaker said,
should be more particularly directed to the
means of ransoming women, for the good
of the coming generations.
Mrs. Gordon, the present matron of the
home, tn en- spoke of the practical life of
the institution and of its needs. At the re-
quest of some of the members of the
society as to the requirements of the
home, Mrs. Gordon stated that a sewing
machine would be very acceptable. but
washing machine particularly would be an
untold tightening of the everyday labors OF
the home.
The substantial part of the program was
in evidence from the number of packages
that adorned the unoccupied chairs of the
room, and by the contributions in money
that were given for the benefit of the
Ransom.
Before the meeting closed, Mrs. Dimmick
modestly expressed hope that some kind
person would donate an acre of ground
somewhere outside of the city limits for
new building.
