First Municipal ward.

In the First municipal ward the vot-
ing was much as had been anticipated
by the Democratic The ladies turned
out in great numbers in all the Dre-
cincts in this ward and in one precinct
cast fully two-thirds Of the total vote
The election was very quiet at ali the
precincts, there being no disturbances
OF any character at any. of the voting
places. AT nearly all the precinct vot-
ing places the Republicans had head
quarters established as near the polIs
as they dared to get and had their
heeiers on hand to approach every
voter. The voters. however, were not
to be turned from their intention of
giving Bryan and free silver their sun
port, and the ward went almost solidly
for the silver electors. The Demo-
cratic state and county tickets also re-
ceiyed good support and showed a
very large gain over the vote of the
last election. Scratchingwas very gen
eral, especially among the ladies. Ow
ing TO the inclemency of the weather
and the muddy streets the vote was not
as heavy as had been anticipated by
either Of the political committees. In
the Sixth precinct in this ward there
We're S24 votes cast out of a registration
OF 352; In the Seventh precinct the vote
was S34 cut of registration of 412: in
the Eighth it was 1863 votes out of a
registration of 436. The other precincts
averaged about as those mentioned
above. Some difficulty was experiences
by the ladies in making out their tick
cts, but not much delay was occasioned

long faces. which kept frightening as
the afternoon wore along and the DEM
ocratic ballots were showing them I'M
der deeper and deeper till the polls
closed. The vote was heavy through
out the ward.
At noon, precinct q had cast 40
votes out of registration of 324; pre-
cinct 2S, ~ out of 29O; precinct 20. Ia
out of a possible SO4; precinct 80, $50
out of 1888; precinct 81. 165 out of Sal.
In the Thirty second, Thirty-third
and Thirty-fourth precincts, the poll
ing was conducted with the utmost
harmony. and not an incident worthy
of mention transpired. The voters be-
gan coming early, and by noon more
than half the registered vote was in in
all three of the precincts, ana 1T )
O'Clock in the evening the average vote
remaining to be polled was less than
one-twelfth of the registration. There
was no excitement in any of these pre-
cincts at any time, but considerable
amusement was created by a dodger
which Candidate Geddes caused to be
distributed It was the Argus edi-
torial lauding him for alleged philan-
thropy.
In the Thirty-sixth there was little
difficulty, but it was of mild nature.
It began when the Democratic judge
falleQ TO SHOW up Otl liiltC dIiQ Tie tNO
Republicans SWOre in another man. Be
fore he. had fairly seated himself, how
ever, the regularly appointed man came
in, and Democratic Chairman Rid
thought he ought to be allowed to
serve The Republicans objected, but
their man resigned, and they were of
necessity obliged to make the best of it.
The next disturbance occurred when
George Bolt undertook to vote. He had
only lived in the precinct 80 days, and
was challenged by Mr.. Rid, who
stated the circumstances of Mr.. Bolt
being registered in the precinct. They
were to this effect: Bolt was raised in
the Thirty-fourth precinct and always
lived there until recently, when he
moved to the Thirty-fifth. Prior to
the rendering of County Attorney
Whittemore's opinion that transfers
from one precinct to another were not
legal, Bolt had registered in the Thirty
fourth, and wishing to move, procured
a transfer to the Thirty-fifth. On the
strength of this he was permitted to
swear in his vote. His name was re-
ported, and it is understood steps to
prosecute him will be commenced to-
day.
Another incident of the day was an
effort on the part of Josiah Lees to do
some work for his favorite candidate
Geddes. He would follow, or accom-
pany rather, a voter almost to the
booths, urging him or her to vote his
way Chairman Rid objected, but it
made no difference until he sent to the
sheriff's office for a deputy, who al
lowed no button-holing for the rest of
the day.
At .. M, in precinct 81, $50 Demo-
cratic and 123 Republican votes were
cast; precinct %, 140 Democratic and

Third Municipal ward.

The voting at all the precincts in
the Third ward was conducted in a
very quiet and orderly manner There
were very few people about the polling
places besides the election officials. The
voters dropped in slowly but steadily,
recorded their votes and went away
and there was no rush at any time.
The ladies turned out in force, equal or
superior 10 the men AS rule the
Democrats voted the straight ticket,
while the Republicans did a heap of
scratching. The Mckinley Republicans
voted the Democratic county ticket al
most straight, and it was evident be-
fore y o'clock that the Democrats were
going TO carry the ward by handsome
majority.
Refreshments, coffee, sandwiches
etc, were served at a number of the
polling places. The Republicans wore

success
Carriages were out early, and by
noon over a third of the total registered
vote had been cast There were no
contests of note, and no enthusiasm was
displayed. The absence of any dem
onstration was owing to the fact that
the result in the Fourth was a fore
gone conclusion.
The tents where the precinct party
managers held forth and issued esti-
mates on the result were the scenes of
the greatest animation. Hot coffee and
other things gastronomically tempting
were served there through the entire
day. Very few challenges were made
and the day was unenlivened by any
of the usual polling place rows.
In the Thirty precinct the
day was particularly quiet. By nocn
161 votes out of the registered total of
$50 had been cast and at o'clock the
publicans claimed 141 and the Demo-
Gratis $50.
The people of the Thirty-eighth pre-
cinct at o'clock last evening had cast
256 votes, the registered total being
2S2. At noon 166 votes were in, of
which the Democrats claimed 100. This
precinct was the scene of one of the
hardest partisan fights of the day, and
an hour before the polls closed both
sides admitted that the result was
doubtful. The Democrats, however,
conceded 127 to the Republicans and
claimed 129.
The Thirty ninth and Fortieth were
two of the busiest. precincts The vote
hustlers were out early, and before
noon nearly half of the total registered
vote had been deposited in the boxes.
There were S61 votes registered in the
Forty-first precinct. 1t is a Democratic
precinct and by noon 149 votes or over
40 per cent of the total number, had
been cast. 1t was estimated that so
of the ballots deposited in the box were
straight Democratic, sc Republican and
doubtful. At o'clock 322 votes. 90
per cent of the number registered, had
been cast. OF this number it is esti-
mated that 191 were straight Demo-
cratic and 131 Republican tickets The
polling place was at 215 K street and
the Democratic work of the day was
intrusted TO Mrs. DR.. Ferguson, Mrs.
Barton and T. F. Thomas. Mrs. Fer
guson and Mrs Barton, assisted by
Mrs. Mulholland, furnished an excel
lent lunch at the latter's residence for
the Democrats. There was not a ripple
of excitement during the entire day.
The polling place of the Forty-second
precinct was at SO K street. There
were 401 votes registered and at noon
141 votes had been cast. OF this num-

Fourth MunicfpaI ward.

A hard contest was waged in the
Fourth yesterday, but the banner
Democratic ward maintained its old
time position and gave a good-sized
majority against the high tariff party
Almost the full vote of both parties
was polled. and although the Republic
ans did not expect to carry the ward,

except in one or two places. On an
average about three voters at each
precinct were prevented from voting
by reason OF being challenged At
some of the voting places the Repub-
lican challengers caused considerable
delay by challenging every Democrat
who offered 70 vote

Der 80 were Republican and As Demo-
cratic. At o'clock 1863 votes had been
cast of which number 1872 were Re-
publican and III Democratic. The
Democrats were badly handicapped in
this precinct by lack of conveyances
and workers. The only excitement dur
ing the day was the challenging of two
Democratic and one Republican vote.
One was challenged on the ground of
standardization and the others on
alleged change of residence They were
all sworn in. Mrs. Ann Olivia Burt and
Mrs. Ann Erskine were in charge of
the Democratic refreshmene tent
In Precinct Forty-three the polling
place was Taggart's hall, $40 First
street. The election in this precinct
was intensely uneventful. At no time
during the day was the polling place
crowded. At noon out of a registra ton
of 361 voters. 1876 had been cast so be-
ing Republican and So Democratic. At
o'clock 2S1 votes had been cast, the
Republicans receiving 1S1 and Demo-
Gratis 100. 1t is a Republican precinct
and the result was not unexpected.
Fifth Municipal Ward.
In the Fifth municipal ward, which
has always been a Republican strong
hold, both sides settled down to hard
but quiet work. The Democrats
brought out nearly their entire
strength, while the Republicans, aided
by their numerous candidates who re-
side in the ward, made a supreme effort
and voters were run down with great
energy. Everything passed off quietly,
however.
In the Fifth, the ladies of both par
ties turned ont in force, and like the
men, did a great deal of scratching.

 Certainly no higher testimonial, no greater proof of medicines wonder full power to cure can possibly be given than is here bestowed upon Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy by this most distinguished statesman and head of the government of the state.
 Surely no one who is ill, worn-out, rundown, weak, nervous, discouraged and disheartened by repeated failures to be cured can require any greater proof, any stronger testimony that Dr. Greene's Nervura will cure, that it will certainly restore health and strength to the weak and nervous suf- ferer, than Lieut.. Governor Fletcher's powerful words wherein he states that he has personally used it in his family with greatest benefit, knows it to be a most wonderful curer of disease, and earnestly recommends it's use by all who are out of health and need medi- cine.
 The great Statesman says:
 "I have long heard of the good eff fects of Dr. Grecne's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and have used it in my family. 1 have heard cases among my neighbors who have derived great benefit from is use and can truly say, that as far as my experience and in-

formation go, the results are highly satisfactory. This letter can be pub lished for others good"
 If you are a sufferer from weakness or disease, do not hesitate to take Dr. Greene's Nervura and get well after such a testimonial from so illustrious and distin nguished Statesman.
 Do you think so eminent a man of such high official position would lend his name and give his emphatic advice to use Dr. Greene's Nervura unless he knew positively its great value, it's wondrous power to cure? He knows that his words will be needed and his advice to use this grand remedy fol lowed because of his high standing and he unhesitatingly tells the people, speaking the welcome truth to the sick with the voice and dignity of official authority, that Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy will cure the weak and suffering, will give health and strength, renewed life, restored energies and the zest and happiness of living.
 Remember also that this is no so- called patent medicines, but the pre- scription and discovery of Dr. Greene of 35 w. 14th Street, New York, the suc- cessful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, who can be consulted without charge, personally or by letter.

Miles on the Indian.

A champion has risen up for the In- dian in the person of General Miles. The Indian fighter has become the most earnest and aggressive of Indian defend CTS. This fact and an energetic defense of General Custer are the salient points in the Miles memoirs. In his opinion the red man has distinguished himself as diplomat, statesman and warrior and may be good even while he is alive. In speaking of Custer, General Miles says, "I have no patience with those who would kick dead ion," and he attrib- utes the lions death in part to general ignorance throughout the army as to the strength of the enemy, and in part to the failure of Major Reno to assume re- sponsibility for the movements of his forces.

 Knowing this fact, the illustrious Lieut.. Governor of Vermont, Hon. Henry A. Fletcher, of Proctorsville, Vt, who is the descendant of long line of Statesmen and Rulers, tells the people if they wish to get well, if they desire to get back their health and strength, to use Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy because he knows from personal experience, from its use in his own family and among his friends, and from having observed time and time again it's wonderful cur ative powers, that it will surely and certainly cure, that it will give strength to the weak, strong nerves. to the n erV- ous, natural refreshing sleep to the sleepless, perfect digestion to the dys- peptic, rich, red blood to the feeble, freedom from pain to the rheumatic, in fact, sound and vigorous health to all who use it.

LOVES REWARD.

Philip had known her ever so long, ever since she came here, little, rose Tipped child. He drew her to school on his little cart, he taught her to ride when older, and when her favor was no longer to be won by snowy kittens or sugared sweetmeats he had laid at her feet mans strong love, heart that WAS brave and loyal and true as steel.
 And she-she thought of the face she had seen for the first time but one short month before, the dark, handsome face that had lighted into look of involun- tary admiration at sight of her, the face of the wealthy city stranger-Edgar Reynolds.
 Only one month ago, and already the lustrous eyes had learned to watch for his coming, already the girlish heart had learned to throb at his voice.
 And he? No wonder he was fascinated by that fresh young face, and as the days went by he smiled to see how the love of the woman crept into the inno- cence of the child. And so when Philip Howard asked her for her love she had no heart to give him. She told him so with womanly tenderness and pity, and he had left her presence very sad, very silent man.
 The following day broke fair and bright, with golden sunlight on the hill tops and June time mists in the valley.
 Along the white, winding road lead kO uS11 SV0 oa 04 ho dewy morning, walked Florence Thorne.
 The birds are singing their maths in the tree tops; the brook is laughing as it nipples OCT it's pebbly bed. In the midst of all this glorious, sylvan beauty the elasticity of youth reasserts itself, and the girls step grows lighter, her heart happier, till she almost forgets her little troubles.
 In the village she posts her letters and turns to retrace her steps. She meets many laborers on their way to work, and each man touches his hat and smiles pleasantly on seeing the bright, pretty face, for, young as she is, she has spent many hours helping with kindly offices and gentle pity their wives and little ones.
 Coming home, she passes a house that stands in it's own grounds-a house with snowy curtains, stretching veran- das and we'll rolled tennis ground at tached. It is far more pretentious than her own cozy house. And we'll it may be, for it is the boarding house of this rustic little village. It is filled with fashionables just now who have fled

Eating Slowly,

The opinion that hurry in eating is @ prolific cause of dyspepsia is founded on common observation. The ill results of bolting food have been attributed to the lack of thorough mastication and to the incomplete action of the saliva upon the food. Two thirds of the food which we eat is starch, and starch cannot be util- ized in the system as food until it has been converted into sugar, and this change is principally effected by the saliva. But there is 8 third reason why rapidity of eating interferes with diges- tion. The presence of the salivary secre- tion in the stomach acts as a stimulus to the secretion of the gastric juice. IT, respective of the mechanical function of the teeth, food which goes into tho stomach incompletely mingled with saliva passes slowly and imperfectly through the process of stomach diges- tion. Therefore, as sanitary maxim of no mean value, teach the children to eat slowly, and in giving this instruo- tion by example the teacher as we'll as the pupil may receive benefit. Troy Times.

He had all these to chose from, and skilled physi- clans ready to respond to his call, but se- lected this remedy to use in his own fam fly at a time when his child's life was in danger, because he knew it to be superior to any other, and famous the country over for it's cures of croup.
