Ticket, Congressman and Legislature.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 6.-Although the
returns from Nebraska are fragment
airy and may remain incomplete for
two or three days, enough is known to
warrant the conclusion that Nebraska
has been carried by Mr.. Bryan and the
fusion state ticket; with majorities
ranging from 5000 to 6,OOO This is
conceded by the Republicans.
The defections in the Republican
congressional districts will defeat four
out of six Republican candidates for
congress. Mercer of the second being
the only man on that ticket elected
From the returns thus far received it
is manifest that the fusionists will
control both houses of the state legis-
lature
The Republicans will have eleven
senators and forty-one members of the
house, while the fusionists will muster
twenty-one senator's and fifty-nine
representatives, Or nearly two-thirds
majority in each branch of the legis-
lature.

Followers for the Next Election.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The campaign
for the free coinage of silver will be
waged with vigor during the next four
years in preparation for the election OF
1900. The directors of the American
Bimetallic union. who constitute the
bulk of the silver leaders in three par
ties, have decided to maintain head
quarters in this city, from which to
send out literature.
The branch Office at Chicago will be
consolidated with the Washington
office, but the San Francisco branch ia
to be continued. At the request of the
directors, General A. j. Warner, the
president of the union, has issued the
following address to the Silver leagues
and Bimetallic unions of the United
States:
''Silver has lost in this election, but
the battle for the overthrow of the
gold standard has not ended. The
disastrous results that must attend
upon the continuance of this standard
make it impossible to relinquish the
struggle against it until it is finally
OVerthrown.
''The gold standard cannot be main
tanned by increasing revenues, because
revenues are not paid in gold. The
attempt to maintain the gold standard
by perpetual loans must also, sooner or
later, fail.
1.-THE victory for gold is victory of
trusts and syndicated wealth, brought
about by corruption and coercion, and
not a victory of the people, or for the
people, aud it cannot last. There must
be an end also to the constant appreci-
alton of money.
1.-THE battle, therefore, for the restor-
alton of silver must go on without
abatement. urge upon all silver and
bimetallic leagues and unions to keep
up their organizations and to continue
the fight till victory for the people is
finally won.
1.-The noble fight made by our in
trepid leader in the campaign just
ended endears him to all who believe
in the righteousness of our own cause,
and under his leadership we believe
victory will be won in 1900"

RECEIVER FOR SANTA FE.
Kansas Portion of the Systems Again In
the Courts Hands.


the Courts Hands.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 7.-County At
torney II. T. Phinney of Jefferson
county, in the name of the state of
Kansas, yesterday brought suit in the
Leavenworth district court to compel
the Santa Fe railroad company to dis
pose of its real estate in Kansas.
Judge Myers appointed Charles F.
johnson of Oskaloosa as receiver. The
receiver is placed in control of all the
company's property except the rolling
stock, the order including right-of-
way. telegraph lines, depots, round
houses, shops and all other property
that is staked to the ground. The
bond of the receiver was fixed at
$4,000.
The receiver was ordered to enter
into an agreement with the officials Of
the railroad company to operate its
line within five days, and if, at the ex-
piration of that time, the company had
failed to enter into such an agreement,
the receiver was ordered to take charge
of the rolling stock and operate the
line
The suit was brought under the alien
land law of Kansas, which prevents
companies, where 20 per cent or more
of their stock is hello by aliens, from
holding land in Kansas. 1t is esti-
mated that the company owns $50, OOO,-
600 worth of property in Kansas. The
suit covers the entire main line, which
owns all the real estate. 1t is claimed
that the suit is the outgrowth of an
old fight of long standing among the
stockholders of the Santa Fe, and that
it was instigated at the instance of
Henry Clews, the New York banker,
and Newman Erb, the well known
railroad man.
General Solicitor A. A. Hurd, of the
Santa Fe in Kansas refused to talk
about the case tonight He had heard
indirectly that the receiver had been
appointed, but said no papers had yet
been served on the officials at this
point. 1t is understood that the com
pany's first move will be to ask that
the case be transferred to the United
States court.
This is the first case ever filed in
Kansas under the alien land law, and
its result will be watched with great
interest by capitalists and big corpora
tions. Receiver Johnson is the Repub-
lican state senator-elect of Jefferson
and Douglas counties, and prominent
business man of Oskaloosa.

these pluralities to 24,737 for Bryan

Observation-Disclosures.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The prospect Is
now that Major McKinley's electoral
vote will be $50, giving him majority
over W. j. Bryan of 113. This includes
Kentucky and Wyoming in the Nc
Kinley column, although it is not yet
positively known that they have gone
Republican. Almost complete returns,
however, make it reasonably sure that
they are for Mckinley by very narrow
margins-less than 1000 in each case.
On the other hand, it is not impossi-
BILE that McKinley's electoral vote may
be cut down to 261, for the last returns
from South Dakota show tie, with
three precincts to hear from, which
may give the state to either Mckinley
or Bryan. In case it goes to Bryan,
and Kentucky's thirteen and Wyom-
ings two doubtful votes also go to
Bryan; McKinley's vote will be only
26i, majority of 75 McKinley's ma
jority cannot be less than this.

have but little hope for their state

very much like Fusion victory, they
say that the election is so close that

A Murderer Escapes.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Nov. 9.-Lum
Hayes, who murdered his brother-in-
law, William Sneed, in the south part
of this county three years ago, and
who escaped from Jail at Savannah a
year ago, and was captured in the
southern part of Kansas, again sawed
out of Jail at Savannah and a posse is
in pursuit. Lockridge and Red O'Bryan,
two of the Savannah bank robbers,
made desperate effort to escape at
the time, but failed. Hayes is a very
desperate man, and if armed will likely
kill some of his pursuers.

NINE STATES VERY CLOSE
Less Than 10000 Votes Really Settled
the Election,

the Election.
WASHINGTON, Nov. O.-The immense
popular majority received by Major
Mckinley and his goodly majority in
the electoral college tend alike to con-
zeal the real narrowness of his victory
because of the clOseness of the vote in
several states. If there had been
change of less than $4,000 votes in the
aggregate in nine states, Bryan would
have been elected President of the
United States. McKinley's majority in
California, Delaware, Indiana, Ken
lucky, North Dakota, Oregon, South
Dakota, West Virginia and Wyoming
combined was less than SO 900, and the
nine states cast go electoral votes. A
change of only about 10000 votes
would have given the 60 electoral votes
of these nine states to Bryan, and these
90 electoral votes would have elected
him President of the United States.

MAY Flowers in New Orleans.

The whole city is "garden fair. "
From one end of the avenues and resi-.
dence streets to the other, the velvety
green lawns, with brilliant adornment
of Towering plants are object lessons OF
rare and radiant beauty.
Nature is the great art teacher. All
true art, all real harmony is learned
from nature. In the color schemes of
interior decoration of houses, experts
tell us that the walls should be lighter
than the floor, but darker than the cell
ing overhead. This is natures great
design, over the earth's green surface.
Yet when we see this line of grace and
beauty carried out by the hand of art,
in the construction of flower gardens,
