FAR CRY FOR CLIENTS.

A Fresno, Cal, Woman Lawyer Co
Ing to South Africa to Seek Her
Fortune.
Mrs. Nettie Coke, attorney at law in
Fresno, expects to sail on the steamer
Mariposa on the 10Th instant for Jo-
hannesburg, South Africa, where she
will engage in the practice of law.
Mrs. Coke, who expects to arrive in
San Francisco to-day, has become
known to Fresno as woman endowed
with unusual pluck, and possessing at
the same time happy faculty of being
able to make her way in the world
without much trouble. Her many
friends were astoniShed somewhat
over a year ago when she procured an
appointment from Gov. Budd as q
notary public at Fresno las she was
the only feminine holder of such an
office in that portion of the state.
When she set up her desk, however,
and began to reap golden harvest by
administering oaths and affiXing seals,
they changed their opinions and adj
mired her pluck. Her subsequent adj
mission to the bar only served to add
to her popularity, and she is now a
conspicuous and respected member of
the legal profession in Fresno. AL
though she has met with considerable
success i'll her profession, Mrs. Coke
has decided that she could never be!
content to remain all her life in Fres-
no. or in California, and she has de-
termined to seek broader fields in
which to labor. She also wants to see
more of the world, and it is this latter
desire that has Influenced her to go to
Africa She will go first to Honolulu,
thence to New Zealand and Australia,
in all of which places she will devote
some time to sightseeing. Then she
will make her way to Cape Town and
Johannesburg. Mrs. Coke expects to
find ready employment in johannes
burg Should she fail to succeed in es-
tablishing profitable law practice, she
will probably return to Fresno, visiting
Europe on her way home.-San Fran
cisco Examiner.

Joseph G.. Lawton. who settled in
Green Bay in 1851 and was one of
the incorporators of the company
granted a charter for the Improvement
of the Fox and Wisconsin rivers in
1854, is dead. Mr.. Lawton founded the
Green Bay bank in 1853 and the Brown
County bank in 1856. He was interest
ed in the development of both cities
and owned property in each.
The death of Mrs. Mary Wilson at
Marinette on Friday night last puts an
end to the somewhat celebrated will
contest. Mrs. Wilson married Adolph
Wilson, deceased, about eight years
ago and inherited his wealth on his
death. The Wilson boys, John and
William, started action to nullify the
will on the grounds that undue infu-
ence was used upon their father. 1t is
probable that the case will now be
dropped.

Telegram to BimetalHsts
Lincoln, Neb.. Nov. 10. 81 Mr. Bryan
gave out the following telegram, adj
dressed to the Eastern bimetallists:
in the hour of defeat | send you
greeting. No words of praise can suf-
ficiently commend you. When | re-
member that the Eastern states sent
gold delegates to both conventions, and
that nearly all the Eastern papers were
against bimetallsm, your fight appears
remarkably creditable. You have
shown yourselves heroes, and events
will vindicate the position you have
taken. Continue the fight
Mr.. Bryan is receiving numerous tel
egrams and letters Of response to his
address calling upon the advocates OF
silver to continue their efforts in that
behalf assuring him of concurrence
In this view and Of cooperation in the
work. Many of the messages are from
club organizations. He has set the
oath inst. for the reception rendered
him by the people of Denver.
Some Election Returns.
st. Paul, Nov, 10-A number of re-
ports of the official vote in various
counties have been received which
make slight changes in the totals of
yesterday morning. Be1trami county,
which is still to come, will give Re
publican majorities. The ten precincts
of st. Louis county vet unhedrd from
will add to the Republican totals Clay
and Wilkin counties are still lacking
few precincts which will probably
swell the adverse vote, but none of
these precincts can affect the results.
Thus far McKinleys majority in Min
nesota is 52,0S4 and Coughs 3,267.
ST Paul, Nov 10 A special from
Yankton, S. D., says: 1t is apparent,
almost beyond doubt, that the Repub-
lican state ticket is elected. In the six
Black Hills counties the Republican
ticket is $50 to 400 ahead Of the Nc
Kinley electors. The Republican con-.
gressmen have ran rearly even with
the state ticket and are also probably
elected. K. G. Phillips, Republican
candidate for state treasurer, ran 400
ahead of the electors in the Black
Hills.
Bismarck, n. D., Nov. 10. Nearly
complete returns in this state give Nc
Kirley majority of 5,417 The Re-
publcans have a majority Of twenty
five in the legislature on joint ballot.
Louisville Nov. 10. - Both sides are
still claiming kentucky, but indica
tons are that the Republicans carried
the state by majority of few hun
bred.

WISCONSIN.
Fuller Returns Increase the sepub-
Hcan Plurality.

Returns received Indicate that Mckinney
has carried the state by the largest plural
sty ever known. The vote on the state ticket
falls below that for the presidential, for tue
reason that the gold Democrats have no
state ticket in the field to offset the fusion
of the Populists and silver Democrats. Rel
atjeely. however, the plurality for the Re-
nuhlican state ticket is the largest III the
history of the state.
George w. Peck of Milwaukee wired the
Associated Press as follows:
s.McKinley has carried Wisconsin by
comfortable majority. Scofeld for governor
will no doubt pull through very close to
Mckinley Both of them and every other
Republican | have heard of will nave ma
ioritv enough to be considered safe, say
100. 600 or along there somewhere. IN oth-
or resDects we are quite well, thank you.
When Won are going to have any more cleo
tions YOU should send us an invitation
The changes made by fuller returns from
nearly all the counties of the state anu
closer estimates on the remaining counties
show an increased majority for the Repuo-
lican presidential ticket in Wisconsin Al
most every county shows increased plurall-
ties on complete returns. The most
striking reduction is that in Douglas coun-
tv where the estimates of 1900 are re-
duced below 700. The Republican gains in
the old Democratic counties OF the Eastern
part of the state are increa the later
returns The indications ar nat The
present plurality for the r.. presi-
dental ticket, 95,935, will be increased by
the returns yet to come in.
