The hardest fought political battle
ever witnessed in Lincoln county, closed
Tuesday evening, with both parties con-
fident Of victory. 1t took until Thursday
morning to get the correct figures on
county and legislative ticket. and the
result proved the wisdom of the claims
of the silver forces. Mckinley carried
the county by a majority of ll9, but five
and possibly six of the Republicans on
the county ticket wer. defeated. Lynn.

Don't Mention Them.

Prominently posted in the Office Of q
certain nervous and somewhat eccentric
inventor is the following notice: !"
have my own troubles. Don't mention
yours. :"
It is the nervous inventors way of
defending himself from the legions that
bear down upon him to pour their sor-
rows into his ears till they drive him
almost crazy. He is not go far wrong
after all Nine-tenths Of the so called
sorrows and Affections Of the race
would be much better suppressed and
not told to anybody, not admitted even
to ourselves.
We say we must go to our friends for
sympathy. Then we pour into their ears
a tale of woe. We make the most Of ev-
cry little physical ailment and roll it
as a sweet morsel under the tongue. We
make the most of every petty annoyance
that is not worth giving second thought
to- Every little loss, every little slight
is treasured till it really becomes some
thing, although it was not anything at
all to speak Of in the first place.
We are what we think we are. By
this morbid, diseased vanity and craving
for Sympathy" as we call it, we make
ourselves nuisance and life burden
to our friends, until they would as soon
see a coffin come into their homes. If
we don't think about our troubles and
don't talk about them, they die out and
become nothing. In any case, it is only
morbid vanity and overweening selfish
ness that makes us distress our friends
with our woes. Stop it. Take sunshine
to your friends instead Of black gloom.

Annihilating Time and Space.

Annlh1lating T1mo and Space.
A telegraphio transmitting machine
lately invented by Mr.. Patrick B. De-
lany has made for it the extraordinary
claim that by means Of it 1000 words
minute can be sent any distance The
inventor proposes to try to get his ma
chine used in connection with the post
Office department., either being bought
outright by, the government and by it
operated, or else run by separate COM
pany in connection with the United
States mails.
The instrument works automatically,
and it can be operated at cost not
greater than cents for so words. Thus
q message Of 1000 words, quite q
lengthy letter, can be sent for so cents
between, say, New York and Chicago
over a wire weighing $50 pounds to
the mile. This is considerably heavier
than the usual telegraph wire. The
present cost by telegraph or telephone
Of message the same length would be
80 or over. The ordinary telegraph
transmits at the rate Of not more than
100 words q minute, SO that the i'm
portance Of the new invention will be
readily seen. .I. . .s......
In matters Of pressing business or
commerce it will be possible to get
long message between San Francisco
and New York and an answer by this
mail telegraph in two hours, even
with the letter written and deposited
by tho sender in the ordinary way
in a letter box, when the new ma
chine works in connection with the
mails. Letters for China can be tel
egraphed to San Francisco, there writ
ten out on the typewriter and sent to
their destination five days earlier than
could be done if they were dispatched
on the fastest mail train. Mr.. Delany
hopes his mail telegraph will largely
take the place of the fast mail train.

publcans to elect what they did on the
county ticket. These townships were a
disappointment, but the result is not bad
after all. The fact that the silver forces
carried the state and legislature IS a
victory big enough. sweeping enough,
and decisive enough to warrant general
rejoicing among the lovers of good gov
ernment, and lovers of economy in state
affairs. There will now be some chance
to investigate the books in the treasurer's
