Democratic Ticket Has an Estimated
Majority of $4,000.
Little Rock, Ark, Sept. S.--The cleo
tion held in this state Monday was for
all state, judicial and county offices, in
Guiding two-thirds of the Legislature
which will elect a successor TO Senator
james X. Jones, chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee. lie has no
opposition within his party and his re-
election is an assured fact. AS far as
heard from, the election throughout the
state passed of quietly end an unusual
ly large vote was poIled. The question
Of licensing saloons was the principal
issue in the majority of the counties.
Here in Little Rock, it was the issue OF
the day. The prohibitionists or anti
license advocates were defeated by a
large majority. Democrats and re-
publicans had full tickets In the field,
while the populists and prohibitionists
nominated candidates for govern or
only. Republican advices received
up to nine o'clock indicate that their
vote will exceed 100000. an increase of
$4,000 over 1894.
Carroll Armstrong, chairman OF the
democratic central committee, predicts
the election of the entire democratic
state ticket by $4,000 majority. Judg-
ing from the increase in the vote already
received many of the colored voters in
Woodruff and Jackson coun ties voted
the straight democratic ticket. Severa.
of the counties so far as heard from
have doubled their vote. Chairman
Cooper, of the republican committee,
comedies the election of the democratic
ticket by $4,000 majority. Mr.. Arm
strong says that to free silver is due all
the credit for the great democratic ma
jority. The gold democrats are said to
have voted the straight democratic free
silver ticket almost solidly at every pre-
cinct so far as heard from. and II is be-
lieved that this policy has largely pre-
vailed throughout the state.

were hanged to the railroad bridge. less
than a quarter of a mile out of town.
One of the men was hanged from the
north side of the bridge and the other
from the south side. The deed was
done by 100 citizens of Mcleod county,
who thus expressed their disapproval
of Saturdays verdict that Musgrove be
confined TO the state prison for life III
stead of being sent to the gallows. The
murder was one of the most coldblooded
in the annals of Minnesota.
Cingmars and Musgroye, two tramp
desperadoes, were travelling northward.
according TO their own story, TO the
wheat fields of North Dakota. A few
miles below Glencoe they accosted a
farmer, took possession of his team and
drove into town. On the way up they
beat him for trying to handle his own
team. The farmer reported them 20
the officers at Glencoe and a warra mt
was issued for the arrest of the men.

Sheriff Rogers took the papers himself
and started in pursuit of the desper-
ADDE'S. Just at dusk on the evening Of
June 20 he overlook 1he two men Ave
miles south of Glencoe. Riding up 10
them he said: BOYS, I want you to go
back to Glencoe with me-" We'll. we
don't have to CO." said Musgroye, as he
brought Winchester rife to his Shout
der. Before Sheriff Rogers could say
another word the tramp began firing on
him and he fell down, his bo1y pierced
with five bullets. Twenty-four hours
later the two fiends were captured BY q
posse of 500 men in neigboring coun-
ty and taken to Glencoe. The Jail was
surrounded by several hundred men,
and alynching would have occurred but
for the prompt action of Gov. Clough,
Who sent out a company of militia from
ST. Paul just as the hanging was about
to come off. The prisoners were imme-

A writer in McClure's Magazine tells

help of Rudyard Kipling. and he men
tons as n side issue peril from snakes
which Kipling once underwent. The
danger of snakes in Lahore was real
enough, and the place was rich in scor-
pions. The person who tells the story
had been stuug by a scorpion in bed one
morning. and Kipling aided him in the
afternoon in scorpion hunt. They
found &c under the mating in the YER
anda outside the bedroom door, reside
a few centiPedes. and put the lot into
q large tumbler, and filed it up with
whisky.
One day, when we were dressing in
the morning, / heard Kipling shouting,
and went INTO his room. His face was
pale with horror. and he was tightly
clasping one leg above the knee.
There's o snake" he gasped, "insido
my trousers. and think I've got him by
the head. Put your hand up from be-
low and drag him out"
Iohserved that Kipling only Thought"
he had it by the head. and that really
its head might be at the other end, in
which case-but before had finished.
saw the horror in his face relax and
give place to a puzzled look succeeded
by fits of laughter. Endeavoring TO as
certain by the sense of touch whether It
was the head he was grasping. he had
discovered that IL did not really feel like
any part of snake at all. In fact IL had
buckle, and he realized that his braces
had been dangling inside the garment
when he put il on.
