The size III AZ. Democratic majority
seems tO be all iiat remains ia doubt with
regard 10 the result Of Alabama's state
eaectiOn whicti took place on the 3rd. Be-
cause OF the slow process Of counting
the votes under the new uallot law, re-
turns are necessarily slow in coming in,
but there is no doubt Of u complete Dem.
ocratic victory.
In the counties which Gov. Oates car
ried two years ago there have been in
creased majorities In all SO far heard
from ex cept two. In the ''black belt"
every county will roll up its usual large
Democratic majority, ranging from 5000
10 5000 each. Green County increases its
Democratic majority. The same is true
In nearly every north Alabama county.
In this section where the Populists are
stronger than else where In the state, that
party lost heavily. The negroes in north
Alabama generally voted for Good wynn,
but the number Of Populists who voted
Tor Johnston was larger than the negro
vote cast for Goodwin.
Capt. Johnston said that he sta nds TO
mis- original figures Of 49, 900 as tho lowest
estimate OF his majority. From reports
which he has received he feels like in
creasing these figures to 80, 900, with two
thirds Of the Legislature Democratic.

"A Million Dollar Failure.

The business community OF Columbus,
Ohio, was shocked by the announcement
that the Columbus Buggy Company, one
Of the Oldest concerns of the city, had
made an assignment. In the statement
sent out the cause of the assignment is
given as due to the general business de-
preston, slow sales, collections, a curtail-
ment of the company's line of credit,
numerous failures among their customers
and the inability of customers to meet
paper at maturity.
1t employs about 1000 men when rum

at the time the failure occurred. The firm
had branch houses in q dozen of the lead-

PROHIBS. DEFEATED
DECISION OF SUPREME COURT
ON RESUBMlSSlON.
Prohibitionists Who Hoped to Pre-.
vent a Vote on the Question this
Fall-Happy An i-Prohtbitionist lists.
Prohibitionists Defeated.

The supreme court dismissed h case OF
South Dakota ex rel. S. II. Cranmer vs..
Thomas Thorson, and gave the defendant
a judgment for costs against the relator.
This will allow the question OF a prohib-
itory amendment to go to the people this
fall for a settlement at the polls.
The case was a test case, and was said
TO be backed by the prohibitionists OF the
state. They hoped to prevent a vote on
the prohibition question this fall. The de-
cision is considered as a big victory for
the anti prohibitionists.
The decision of the court is upon the
theory that the court has no authority to
interfere until the full act Of legislation
has been completed by the action of the
people at the polls in November; that the
legislature has the power to submit any
question to the people whether it is a con-
stitutional question or not, and the people
have the right to pass upon the question
thus submitted.

Shaking Hills and Volcanic Ashes
Found by Prof. Todd.
Prof. j. E. Todd, state g~eologist. who
recently left Vermillion in charge OF a
student party for a tour OF exploration in
the Black Hills and vicinity, is sending
back reports OF much interest concerning
the discovery of what looks like an ex-
tinct volcano on Sand Creek, in the Bad
Lands, not far from Hermosa. Near the
point where the creek empties into the
White River is a hill some eighty feet in
height. This hill, he states, vibrates and
groans almost constantly. The squaw
men living in the vicinity are given as
authority for the statement that it has
once or twice trembled SO violently as to
overturn wagons and throw down persons
standing upon it.. About half way up its
side is a bed of volcanic ashes between
ten and fifteen feet in depth.
Another peculiar formation reported is
that of a valley near Pine Ridge in which
are numerous shifting dunes. They are
believed to change their positions with
every change of the wind and are receiv-
ing much attention from the survey ing
party. 1t is expected that the results of
the expedition will be of much interest to
the state.

Range, Mich.
The Tilden mine at Bessemer, Mich,
has closed down both day and night
shifts on No. 9 shaft. This completes the
shut down of the Rockefeller mines in
that city. Nos. 8, Z, 8, 9 and 10 shafts now
employ just enough men to keep the mine
clear of water. In a large number OF
mines the pumps have been removed and
the mines are full of water. The Gogebic
range mines are practically all shu: down
at Hurley, Iron wood, Bessemer and
Wakefield. There are less than 1000 men
at work N the range where at IN time
over 5000 men were employed. 1t is GER
tain that a few months of idleness will
find hundreds of families in restitution.
The several mining companies have al
lowed their employees all unoccupied lands
for use as "Plngree FARMS" but the army
worms have destroyed the last hope of
the miners having at least vegetables to
keep body and soul together the coming
winter. The poor fund is exhausted and
there are a large number of outstanding
orders. The idle miners and their fami-
lies are therefore facing starvation.

Man Found Dead at Hawarden Iden.
titled as s. s. Dickson.
Developments in the case of the body of
the dead man found in the Sioux River
sunday evening near Hawarden. Iowa,'in-
dictate that the man was murdered by
tramps and thrown in the river. The
mans name was s. s. Dickson, from
where it is not a~scertained. A hat, coat
and shoes were found on the bank of the
river near where the body was found and
on the inside Of the coat a piece Of paper
was sewed on which was written. 'The
bearer holds ticket No. (blank) and is on
his way to visit his son., J. II. Dickson, at
Hitchcock, S. D." 1t is thought that the
paper was seen by several different parties
in Hawarden and vicinity. He was there
a couple OF days and seemed TO be in a
sort of insane state. The general belief
is that the old man ven to Ha warden on
ar evening train and in stopping over
night lost his head and vent wandering
around. He undoubtedly had a little
money on his person and in his tou of
the city he came in contact with tramps
who induced him to 60 to the river, where
they made way with him.
