SANTA ROSA, CAL, Nov 20.-A pretty

stracting valuables from their hiding.
places and carrying them away! Really,
the new woman has come to Santa Rosa,
and she's the newest of them all.
For about two weeks there has been 9
reign of terror among housewives, and
each morning brought the news of two OF
three attempts at house breaking during
the previous night. The operations of the
nocturnal visitor were somewhat peculiar,
and led the police to believe that it was
the work OF an amateur, or at least a very
timid professional.
To-day two daylight raids were made,
each yielding small sum of money; and
a tall, handsome woman, dressed in black,
is known to be the thief She was seen to
enter the residence of Herbert Moke and,
after remaining a few minutes, depart.
Mrs. Moke heard some one about the
house, but believed it was her husband.
On being told of the visit of the woman in
black, she at once looked to her stock OF
valuables. only to find that her purse was
missing.
Mrs. William Morris received call
from the tall woman this morning, and
while the servant girl went to inform her
mistress of the presence of caller, the
stranger succeeded in abstracting the
Morris family purse and few trinkets,
and made good her escape.
That all the recent attempts at house
breaking are the work of the tail woma !
in black is now certain, and many timid
people here will sleep easier tonight after
hearing that the desperate burglar who
has caused them so much alarm is hand
some woman.

old daughter of the couple. Diligent
search has been made for the little one for
more than week, but nothing has been
heard OF her or her mother.
When Mr.. Lowe obtained the divorce
it was stipulated that the father should
have the custody of little Lucille, the only
child. 1t was further stipulated that
Hattie Lowe. the mother, could take the
child to live with her for stated period
every year. A short time ago Mrs. Lowe
came up from San Francisco to visit her
mother, Mrs. George Eustice. She sent

Eustice farm until November 10, when
they disappeared. None OF the relatives
or friends have seen them. Mr.. Lowe has
searched both this county and San

Election News Features.

The unreasonable impatience Of the
people to learn the result of national
election within Is minutes after the
polls are closed is largely responsible
for the misleading reports sent out
during the first few hours after the
contest is ended, To comply with this
unreasonable demand the wires are inn
mediately put to work, and the widest
guess Of how city or state has gone
is received gladly aud served to the
country, The general public do not
stop to think that it takes many hours
to count the votes-or even enough of
them to accurately forecast the result,
and thati is absolutely necessary the
votes shall be counted before they can
be given out.
In certain states before the judges
gnd clerks had time to sharpen their
pencils and arrange their tally sheets
for counting, the information was
wired to all parts of the country that
state had given Mckinley several hun
dred thousand plurality. The public,
of course, demaneed news. They got
it-and swallowed it.
All of which goes to show that the
public should not expect to know how
a state or county has voted before suf-
ficient time has elapsed to count enough
votes to anticipate the result with any
degree of intelligence. Or, if they are
not willing to deny themselves thus
long, should not complain if the vision
airy and groundless statements furn-
ished in obedience to their unreason-
able demand prove misleading and ex-
pensive to the speculative fraternity.

Gen. Powell Clayton.

No doubt the south will be represent
ed in President-elect MeKiniey's cabi-

CLAYTON of Arkansas will be rendered
prominent portfolio. During the cam
paign Gen Clayton had charge of the
speakers bureau of the east, with head
quarters at New York City. His serv-
ices in the campaign are believed to
have been as effective for success as
that of any other one man in the coun-
try, with the single exception OF Marx
Hanna. Gen. Clayton was an original
Mckinley supporter in the Republi-
can National committee at st. Louis,
and stands close to the presldent-elecs
both as personal and political friend

HE FIRST FELT THE EFFECT.
Frank Cox Was Denounced and Dis
charged for Voting for Bryan.

Frank Cox, salesman employed by
the George H. Dittman Shoe Co., was
probably the first person to feel the ef-
feet of McKinley's election.
Those who made him feel it were a
close second.
MIR. Cox is Democrat and he worked
AMI voted for Bryan.
His employers favored Mckinley.
They were elated over the result and
celebrated it by discharging Cox and
applying insulting and opprobrious
terms to men who held views contrary
to theirs.
Then couple of Democratic custom
ers did little celebrating by canceling
orders they had placed with the house.
Mr. Cox tells the story in this wise

office William Dittman, secretary of the
company approached me. He had a
copy of the Globe. Democrat in his hand
and was indignant. He slammed the
paper down on my desk and hammering
the rooster pictures, said !:
Here, you go eat these birds; you
and your hoodlums. You and
every man who voted for Bryan are
- fools. You are the man who led
that hoodum parade Saturday. You
can take your - hoodlums and get
out of my house,
Il told Dittmann that had right
to vote for whom | pleased and to pa
rade for whom Ipleased, and expected
to keep right on doing it.
"Mr. Graham of Denton, Tex, who
owns two big stores in his state, heard
what Dittmann said to me and it made
him hot. He had just given an order
for big bill. He walked up to Dit
mann and said 81 am one Of those
- hoodlums, too, Cancel my order.
You are too nice for Democratic hood
lum to trade with
"Later Mr.. Scudder, of Scudder &
Smith, Tennessee merchants, went to
Dittmann and said practically the same
thing. He cancelled an order he had
given and said he would hunt up 8
house where Democratic hoodlums
were thought more of.

place, but intend to see If there is any
