w transient nature of the many phys
;ca1 ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed There is comfort In
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup OF Figs. prompt
ly removes That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact. that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali

all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health.
and the system Is regular, 1axatives or
other remedies are then not needed If
afflicted with any actual disease. one

physicians, but if in need of laxative,

well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely

DEATH WILL BE A SURPRISE,
KETCH OF HIS SUCCESSFUL LIFE.

Homer c. Eller, of the law firm of
Eller & How, died last night at $50
o'clock at his residence, SIS Holly ave-
nue.. The immediate cause of his death
was Bright's disease, although he had
been in ill-halth fo~ a number of
years.
Mr.. Eller was born in Mishawaka.
Ind, July 8, 1916. He was thrown on
ms own resources at the early age
OF nine, and went to South Bend while
yet lad. Here he lived until the war
broke CUT when at the age of sixteen
ne entered the service as a drummer
BOY and served until the close of hos
uhtles He attended the law school
at Ann Arbor university, and after one
year there came to ST. Paul in 1869
where he has since resided. His FIRST
legal connection was with the firm of
OBrien, Eller & O'Brien, and later be-
came partner in the firm of Clark
Eller d How. Several years ago Judge
clark retired. and the firm was CON
tlnued as Eller & Hcw. ARRANGEMENTS
mad been made for the admission Of
Frece Butler as a partner, the new
firm to be known as Eller, How r. Rut-
Ter.
MI. Eller leaves a widow, Ada Farm
nam, and three children-Clark, aged
fourteen; Hattie, aged thirteen. and
Kenneth, lad CT nine He was a mod
est uassuming man, who possessed
the respect and affection of fellow
members Of the bar to marked de-
gree. Without exception he was the
best equipped lawyer in the state in
active practice. He ranked high, not
only as trial lawyer but as a coun-
selor and among his clients numbered
j. j. Hill, whose personal business he
had entire charge Of. He was a mem

AT PEOPLES CHURCH.
Fair Sex Happily Entertained by
Mckinley PIuralities

Returns were received at the Peoples
church until midnight and announced
to a gathering composed during the
first part Of the evening Of nearly all
Mckinley people, the feminine part of
the audience being in the majority
Later the Bryan sympathizers were in
evidence. The returns, cast on a huge
white canvas, were received with
mingled cheers and Kisses. That the
Mckinley pople predominated one could
not doubt from the applause and cheers
which greeted returns In his favor and
the wave of Kisses with which any
thing at all in favor Of Bryan was re-
ceived. During intermissions in the
programme there were selections by
Mrs. c. B. Yale, Mrs S. V. Harris,
Percy Churchill, Harry George, vocal
lists, and Leonard A. Strait, reader. The
programme offered was an attractive
one. A number of patriotic songs were
also given by the audience, the quar-
tette of vocalists leading. Refresh
ments were served all of the evening In
the parlors below stairs by the women
of the church.

EACH HAD SWITCHED.
Example of the Breaking of Party
Ties.

An incident illustrative Of the break
ing of lifelong party ties caused by
the issues of the campaign occurred
outside the booth Of enc Of the Eighth
ward precincts yesterday morning. Two
men, each apparently over sixty years
of age, handed in their ballots and left
the booth together. WELL said one,
rock ribbed Democrat, to the
ether, Republican, IT suppose you
voted for Mckinley
mo sir, I cid not" replied the Re-
publican, 81 never voted for a Demo
crat before in my life, but Bryan got
my vote this time"
well, I declare" said the questioner,
my father before me voted the straight
Democratic all his life and up to this
election l have followed his example
and no Republican ever got cross OPP
posite his name on my ballot, but to-
day I voted for William Mckinley"
The two old gentlemen were friends
who had long known each others pc
litical faith and the mutual confess
sions caused them to laugh heartily.
but back of their mirth was a forci-
BILE commentary on the power of con-
viction over party partisanship which
has marked the campaign just ended.

SOME ILLEGAL VOTING.
One Case Was Detected in the Fourth
Ward.

Ward.
The city clerk and his assistants
were busy all day yesterday furnish
various polling places throughout the
city. furnishing the judges of election
with such further information as they
required, and answering countless
questions from all sources.
Before the noon hour the city clerk
was called upon to supply 140 additional
ballot boxes for use in over half of the
precincts. SO rapidly were the voters
polled. This condition of affairs ex-
listed in the crowded precincts, where
the ballot boxes were filed to their
capacity within four or five hours after
the polls opened. In all these cases the
city clerk furnished the judges of
election with two additional ballot
boxes, in which to deposit the national
and state tickets and the county ticket.
Several cases Of illegal registration
were revealed and in some instances
the parties whose votes were challeng-
ed called at the city clerks office in
the hope that the mistake by which
they were registered in the wrong pre-
cinot might be rectified. They were
much disappointed when informed that
nothing could be done for them. A
number Of Instances Of this character
were reported from the Fourth prec-
met Of the Fourth ward. In one case
the vote of a citizen who was regis
tered in this precinct, though not
resident Of it. was deposited in the
ballot boxes before it's illegality was
discovered. The judges sent to the city
clerk for instructions as tC the proper
proceeding in the matter. They were
instructed not tc disturb the ballots,
as in the event Of their subsequent
contest, the courts would pass upon
the question.
There was a dispute III the Seventh
precinct Of the Eighth ward, the first
thing in the morning, over the select
ion Of the two ballot clerks. 1t ter
minated in a scrap but fists were
the only weapons used. and the trouble
was smoothed over without appealing
to the city clerk for a decision.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-11-04

There was no means Of learning how
the votes were cast, but 1t was believed
that the labor vote was strongly for
Bryan. 1t was claimed. however, that
Chapel would run ahead of his ticket
and the Henry Johns would defeat the
Democratic candidate for the legislat-
ure.
The Fifth ward was slow, too, but in
the afternoon the deficiency of the
morning was made up. The ward is
Democratic normally, and there was
every indication that it would not de-
part from party traditions.
In the Sixth voting was lively, both
sides claiming a victory. In the Sew
enth the early vote was the heaviest in
half the vote was polled before 10
o'clock. At noon two-thirds Of the
vote was accounted for. There were
not many Bryan shouters. Indications
pointed to complete poll
A more quiet and orderly election was
never held in the Eighth and Ninth
wards. But one instance Of disturb
ance was reported during the entire
cay. Men came to the polls with minds
made up, and with an apparent real
tzAtion of the issues at stake in both
national and state affairs, cast their
ballots according to their preconceived
opinions. There were no arguments
tending to provoke partisan ire, and,
save for the few loiterers who hung
about the booths, a casual observer
would scarcely have realized that an
election was in progress, The cam
paign of education of the past few
months had done much toward the
nolding of opinion, and every man
who possessed the right of suffrage
had made his decision before entering
the booths to register it on his ballot.
AS was to be expected from the heavy
registration, the voting booths were
crowded from the time Of opening I'M
til well after noon, when the rush
was somewhat less until between 4
and o'clock. In most Of the precincts
two-thirds of the vote had been cast
by noon.

DEMOCRATIC CLERK
Supersedes the Republican in a
Ninth Ward Precinct.

O. A NordQuist, Republican clerk Of
election in the Eighth precinct of the
Ninth ward, was superseded by a Dem
ocrat, Frank Nipper, yesterday. NOrd-
Quist did not arrive at the booth until
just o'clock and when he walked in
he was informed that he couldn't serve.
This was not the first time that Mr.
NordGuist had been appointed a clerk
Of election, and be knew what his rights
and duties were. At previous elections
he had not come until 6 o'clock, and
he could hardly be required to be there
until the booth opened. Mr.. Nordquisr
said that he should contest Nipper's
right to serve or draW pay for the
days work The Republicans who were
looking after the ward were early ap-
rrised Of the discharge of one Of their
clerks. They sent extra. men to watch
the balloting at the precinct, and kept
them there during the count.
