the scene Of IN rth and gaiety last
night, and the sweet and inspiring
strains Of mrs ., and the mellow.

A grand ball was in full sway ana
people were q i1ying themselves by
a social reuuino, which, by the aid
of the inspiriie music, the flashing
eyes and the happy laughter, ban
ished for The time all earthly cares.
The occasion was the second
annual bail given by Cheyalier Dis

was just large enough to prevent
the ball being crowded and more
congenial people never assembled
than were tbs Sc in attendance at
the ball last night.
At a se4soaahle hour supper was
announced and the dancers marched
to the banquet ball, where a scene
broke upon the sight which would
make the eyes e The epieure dance
with delightful anticipaiions.
The table was beautifully decor
ated with nowers, cut glass and
silverware and it fairly groaned
with the weight of the good things
upon it.

AN UNAVOIDABLE ACCIDENT.
Mr.. Chestnut Gives His Version of the
Accident Which Resulted in the
Death of n Pony

Mr.. r. d. Chestnut denies that he
was driving at an unlawful rate or
that he was guilty of carelessness on
the night his cart collided with the
pony OF young Lindsay, which re-
suited in the death of the latter's
horse.
MIR Chestnut was dri1 ing IA small,
blind pony, and says that he saw
young Lindsay and cndeavored to
give him the road. but his efforts
were futile from the fact that his
hands were fun and the blindness OF
the animal he was driving.
Mr.. Chestnut says that his horse
is not capable Of great speed; that he
stopped just as soon ms possible af-
ter the accident, but heard and saw
ncthing,so he drove on. He says
it is one of those accidents liable to
happen toanyone; that if he felt that
he was in the least to blame that he
would cheerfully pay for the animal
killed.

PRESIDENTIAL POPULAR VOTE

At Iartsa

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27-The popu-
lar vote for Mckinley is placed at
7,050,5l6. The popular vote for Mr..
Bryan was 6,221,552 The popnlar
vote for Palmer was lbs $40.
Mckinley, therefore. received more
votes than Bryan by S26.9Gl. These
are not official figures, but they are
made from the unofficial cstima ties,
and will not vary to ANY great tx.
tent from the certified returns.
The vote Of every State. with the
single exception Of Kentucky,
is now practically known
There are some very significant fea-
lures in these figures. .fhey furnish
much food for thought. The RepNb-
lican and assistant Republican or
gaus are declaring that MIR. Bryan
has been repudiated by the American
people. And yetMr Bryan got 6.22l,-
552 votes. Six and a quarter millions
of men are worthy thinking about
especially as nearly all af them are
native born, white Americans There
were not that many voters for MIR.
Cleveland IN 1892, rs his vote that
year was 5.553, geatly 7U0000 less
than Mr. Bryan reeeiyed Oae of the
deductions from these figuree is that

An invalid Law.

GUTHRIE. 0. T., Nov. a.. Two years
ago the legislature passed special taS
act designated to reach certain class
of stores that remain in a town but q
short time. This act makes the taxes
due on personal property lien on the
property, and on any attempt to sell the
property the taxes are to become at once
due and payable. In a case brought
from Canadian county, wherein the
county attempted to take possession OF
goods sold, Judge Tarsney decided
against the county, declaring that the
goods the county attempts 70 hold We're
not actually the same goods as essed. 50
the lien would not hold. This virtually
makes the law void. as it would be i'm
possible in any stock OF mercfaaaise 10
