SERENELY CONFIDENT.
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMIT
 TEE WELCOMES THE RESULT.
Reports Indicate That Bryan's Popular Majority Will Be One of the Largest
 Ever Given a President.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-Chairman Campau, of the democratic national campaign committee, received today, in response to instructions issued some time ago, tele- graphic reports from thirty-two demo- cratic state chairmen giving estimates as to how the states will record their votes one week from today. based on the latest information received by the state com mittees This is the last formal report that will be made by the state chairman. After compiling the adviceS received Chairman Campau made the following statement to the Southern Associated Press:
 "The democratic national committee awaits the results of next weeks elec- tion with serene confidence. w. J. Bryan will be elected by the largest popular ma pority given any president in a quarter of a century. He will have more than 300 votes in the electoral college. Our re- ports from the middle western states show the effect of his wonderful cam paignng tour through them. His ma porities will be increased by many thou sands as a result of his great journey. Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa and Minnesota are absolutely safe, and our chances of success in Ohio and Wiscon- sin are more than flattering.
 Senator German guarantees us Mary land. Our reports from Kentucky are that republican monopoly and democrat ic treason will be outvoted by more than 10000. The desperate and despotic ef- fort to coerce and buy the American peo- pie is doomed to dismal and humiliating failure. The following states will give their votes for Bryan without the shadow of doubt:
 Alabama, California, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, North Da- kota, South Carolina. Tennessee. Utah. Washington, Wyoming, Arkansas, Colo rado, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebras- ka, North Carolina, Oregon, South Dako- ta Texas, Virginia, West Virginia; total electoral votes, 2S3.
 "In addition to these, our chances of success in the following states is far bet ter than that of the republicans: Dela- ware, Ohio and Wisconsin,; total, SS elec- toral votes.
 '.,The brag and bluster of the republican national committee in claiming $50 elec- toral votes is shown in the inclusion in their estimates of such states as Texas. Idaho, Utah and Montana, where the ma jority for, Bryan can only be measured by considering almost the whole voting population for him.. It is time that the people understood plainly that Mckinley will not carry the country

AT O'BRIEN'S.

The entertainment by the ladies of the Creehe at the opera house last evening was fine in it's conception and splendid in it's execution. It displayed refined taste, historical acquaintance and cunning con- ceits. The ladies had put their minds and hearts in the work, and the result was a decided success.
 The curtain rose and represented court scene. The king occupied his throne, and around him were grouped his courtiers, while the jester stood in front. The jester explained that Lullaby Of all the Nations had been prepared for the Advertisement of the king. As a courier conducted a sweet singer before the throne a scene behind was disclosed rep resenting a picture of the natlonalty represented by the singer.
 MT. M. A Porter played the king to perfection, while MT. A. Latady was the typical court jester. The courtiers were Messrs. R. N. Finch, G. T. Staford, w. M. Walker and M. F: walker, eacn on one handsome and graceful gentleman. There was an anachronism in the court scene, which was probably noticed by but few inc dress of the king and jester was that of the seventeenth century, While that or the courtiers was of the period hundred years later
 The first scene represented Spain and Mrs. H. H. Sinnige sang the Spanish lul- Iaby. Miss Sedberry and MT. Smith Full Ter were the characters in the picture. :,
 The second scene was Gefndny. anu Miss Alice Fallon sang the lullaby. Mr. Ed Warren and Miss Roden formed the picture
 The third scene represented America, and the lullaby was sweetly sung by Miss Lottie Coffin. The picture created ap- plause, and was formed by Miss Mamie Pearson as the Goddess of Liberty and MT. G. F. Perrin as Uncle Sam.
 Mrs. Sinnige represented Japan, and her lullaby was encored.
 The next was Africa, by Misses Black and Dark, and 1t was intended to have @ colored cake walk, but the cake walkers failed to appear. There seems to be a strange fatality attending cake walks in Birmingham. No benches were broken, for the minuet was substituted. The sub stitute was certainly more pleasing to the artistic taste than the cake walk, espe- cially as performed by beautiful Miss Charlie Garner. She looked like por- trait of the colonial days that had stepped out of it's frame.
 The second act was burlesque or "Pinafore." The burlesque was not car- ried sufficiently far as to rob this beau tiful comic opera of its charm The duet of Mrs. Sinnige and Professor Black could not be better rendered by professionals. Miss Amelia Markstein as Josephine dis played sympathy with the character ana a rich melodious voice. MT. Luman Handley was a good Deadeye. and the other characters were well sustained.
 The performance was a success, the au- dience large and the fund for the Greene considerably augmented. Professor Ear hart has given valuable assistance to the ladies and displayed fine organizing abil- ity.

MISSED THE BIG BOX.
SAX AND FOX INDIAN AGENCY
 RAIDED BY ROBBERS.
Only Got $620, When They Might Have Had Over S4000-Fiends Fired Into
 a Group of Children,

Guthrie, O. T. Oct. 27.-The Sac and Fox Indian agency was held up by four masked robbers late yesterday afternoon Sac and Fox is sixty miles east of here, and only thirty miles from Carney. Three stores were robbed and $620 taken. The Indian agent, General Thomas, has $f6,00O at Sac and Fox, annuity money, to be paid to Indians next week. This money the robbers were after.
 The robbers rushed into General Thom- as office and fired several shots, but Thomas was absent. As they rode out of town the fiends fired into a crowd of Indian children al the government school, but none of the shots took effect. Two of the robbers were recognized as being in the Carney hold up last week. The news came over the telephone from Chandler, but the wires were soon cut evidently by the bandits, and no further particulars can be learned.

The following true story-only the name
was not Smiths told in the Plttsburg Dis
patch:
~ hear that Smith has just sold out his
saloon, said one of n couple of middle-agod
men who sat slipping their beer and eating q
bit of cheese in a Smithneld saloon.
'Yes, responded the othor rather slowly.
What was the reason2 l thought he was
Just coiRing money there"
The other nibbled cracker abstractedly
for moment and then said
TITS rather o funny story. Smith, you
know, lives on Mount Washington, right
near me, where he has an excellent wife, n
nice home, and three as pretty children as
ever played outdoors-all boys, you know,
the oldest not over nine, and all about the
same size. Smith is pretty respectable
sort OF citizen-never drinks or gamb,es,
and thinks the world OF his family.
"Well, he went homo one afternoon last
week and found his wife out shopping, or
something of that sort. He went through
the house into the back yard, and there un-
der the apple tree were the little fellows
playing. They had a bench and some bot
ties aud tumblers and were playing keep
saloon. He noticed that they were drink
Ing something out OF pail and that they
acted tipsy. The youngest, who was behind
the bar, had n towel tied around his waist
and was setting the drinks up pretty free.
Smith walked over and looked into the pail.
II was beer, and two of the boys were 80
drunk that they staggered. A neighbor's
boy, two years older, lay asleep behind the
tree.
"'My Godl boys, you must not drinkthatr
no said as he lifted the six-year-old from be-
hind the bench.
"'We's playin' sloon, papa, an 1 was
a-sellin' 1t just like you, said the little fell
low.
''Smlth poured out the beer, carried the
drunken boy home, and then took his own
boys home aud put them TO bed. When his
wife came back she found him crying like
shild.
"He came downtown that night and sold
out his business and says he viii never sell
or drink another drop Of liquor. His wife
told mine about 1t, and she broke down cry
Ing while she told It."

Submarine cables are usually i'm.
bedded in the Shiny bottom of the
ocean, but at certain points they hang
like wire bridges over deep submarine
valleys, so that whales and other
large inhabitants of the deep may be.
come dangerous to the cable. Once
in while it is the cable that becomes
dangerous to the whales, as recently
shown in an accident to the Western
Brazilian line.
There was somo difficulty with the
wire, and after many futile efforts the
seat of the trouble was discovered
seventy-six miles north of Santa Cath
srine. The cable ship Viking was
sent to repair the damage, and began
to take up the wire. After the cable
proper had been grappled and was
wound to the surface on the large
drums provided for the purpose, it
was found that it foated very much
easier and was more buoyant than is
usually the case.
The reason was discovered When in
loop of the cable the carcass OF a
whale OF more than sixty feet in
length came into view. 1t appears
that the whale had become caught un.
der the cable, and, not being able to
lift it or go forward or back, it be.
come suffocated. By its last spasms
or attempts to free itself the whale
had damaged the cable so that the in
sulai on was rubbed off and the wire
became useless. Boston Globe.

APPLES.

Few fruits are so generally loved as
are apples, and few can be eaten in
large quantities with such perfect i'm
punity from disagreeable after effects.
From the time when the sweet mealy
"harvest apples" fall, to the frosty day
when we pluck the last round Juicy
globe whose crimson cheeks glow with
the fresh crlspness concealed within,
we enjoy this bountiful gift of nature;
and what a number of appetizing
ways there are of preparing this fruit.
While delicious in its natural state,
unlike many others, it is actually i'm
proved by cooking. To apple-loving
housekeepers the following recipes,
handed down from our grandmother's
day, relic of her large, sunny old.
fashioned kitchen where were pro-
duced wonderful goodies, which ap-
peased our childish hunger.
To Preserve Apples-Pare an / weigh
ten pounds of apples, put them into
pan to stew, with one pint of water
when all are dissolved, put in the same
weight of sugar, two ounces of ground
ginger, with the juice and grated rind
of four or five lemons. Boil rather
more than half an hour, stirring all
the time. Put away in preserve jars
or stone crooks.
Apple in Jelly-Peel and quarter
some good apples, taking out the
cores, then place them with some
slices OF lemon in a preserving kettle,
cover slightly with sugar, pour on the
apples little cold water and boil un-
til tender. Carefully take out the
pieces of apple and place in jars, then
boil the syrup down, until it will jel-
ly, and pour over the apples immedi-
ately.
Apple Southeastern the apples with
q little lemon-peel; sweeten and then
lay them around the inside of dish.
Make a custard of the yolks of two
eggs, a little cinnamon, sugar, and
milk. let it thicken over a slow fire,
but not boil; when ready, pour il
into the center of the dish containing
the apples. Beat the whites of the
eggs to strong froth, and cover the
whole. Throw over it good deal of
powdered sugar, and then brown it.
Boiled Apple Pudding ng-Make a but
ter crust or suet one, using for q
moderate.si sized pudding from three.
quarters to one pound of flour, with
the other ingredients in proportion.
Butter II basin; line it with paste
pare, core and cut apples into slices,
and fill the basin with these add sugar
to taste, flavor with lemonpeel and
| Juice, and cover with crust, piuch the
edges together, -four the cloth, place
it over the pudding, tying securely,
and put into plenty CT fast-boiling
water. Let this boil from one and {
half to two and a half hours, accord
ing to the size then turn out of the
basin, and send it to table quickly
Apple puddings may also be boiled il
a cloth without a basin; but, wheI
made in this way, it must be served
without the least delay, as the crust
so soon becomes heavy. Apple pud
ding is a very convenient dish to hav,
when the dinner hour is rather I'M
certain, as it does not spoil by beinj
boiled an extra hour; care, however
must be taken to keep it well coveret
with water all the time, and not to al
low the boiling to cease. New Or
