BUTLERs CoNsoLING WORDS.
The Gold Democrats Are Held Re
 sponsible.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Senator Butler to-day issued a letter in part as follows:
 Had it not been for a prejudice against the Democratic name, as well as a want of confidence in the Demo- cratic press, for which it must be frankly admitted past experience fur nished ample ground, a majority of the voters of the country, despite the tre- mendous and unparalleled forces putt forward by the Republican managers, would have cast their votes for finan- cial reform and American indepen- 7denoe. The Peoples Party, with a high patriotism and unselfisih devotion ito principle greater than ever before exhibited by any other party, stepped outside its organization to throw it's 100000 votes solidly for, Bryan. Had not more than this number, those who called themselves Democrats in 1892, given their support to Mckinley, the cause of the people and of American principle would have triumphed this year."

WANTS FRAUDS UNCOVERED.

Editor Republican. Sir:-I am today reliably informed that at the late cleo tion in this city most bare-faced frauds were perpetrated. Voters were fur nished with the necessary material consisting of a sheet of white paper and a piece of carbon paper and by these the purchaser was sure of the delivery of the goods" At one ward in this city over eighty such votes were bought and paid for
 am told that the chairman of the territorial central Republican con- mittee has the evidence in his hands and the statement of man who re- ceived the money and committed the crime The grand jury is now in ses- sion and if Dr. Ford has not already done so, MT. Millay should see that he is called before it and tells what he knows about this thing. If our Australian ballot system can be thus openly violated with impunity it is time the voters knew it.
 Every year we hear of ballot box stuffing, fraud, etc., but it soon dies down and that is the end of it. MT Millay, you are about to leave the Of flee of district attorney. Why not leave behind you a name by bringing | to justice these men?

Work to Be Resumed on the Aglla Fria
 Reservoir.

The Republicans are redeerning the pledges made that if the country was placed on a sound money basis the wheels of progress would be set in motoin. Although but a few days ago the news was scattered broadcast over the world that William Mckinley was elected president of the United States, already the dawn of a prosperous era has begun.
 One of the most important inter prises ever started in the valley was the great Agua Fria reservoir and canal Over a year ago the work on the enterprise was stopped for lack of capital. The promoters could not in- terest eastern investors, the uncertain ty of how the election was going pre- | cluding the expenditure of eastern money in the west.
 | Now comes the welcome intelligence that the Agua Fria reservoir and canal will be completed. Yesterday Captain Hancock received orders to proceed to the works of the company with an engineering corps and he will leave for his destination with a force of assistants. In a few weeks more the dam, now partially finished, vii resume is former appearance of ac- | tiVity

The Crew of a Leaking Lake
 Schooner Rescued.
They Spent Four Days Drifting Help Iessly on the Big Lake-Signal of Distress Is Sighted Just In Time to Save the Crew.

CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-Seven men and one woman composing the crew of the schooner Rising Star after drifting in a helpless condition on the leaking vessel down stoum- lashed Lake Mich igan from Tuesday noon until Friday night, were lowed into port today by the steamer Colin Campbell The crew of the il-fated schooner had given up all hope, and worn with fatigue and exposure to the icy blasts, were cling ing to the rigging when the Campbell sighted their signals of distress.
 The Rising Star, lumber laden, cleared at Green Bay, Wisconsin, Tues day, from Chicago. In the afternoon the bow sprung a leak. The pumps were manned and by hard work the vessel was kept afoat. The hold was flied with water and water soaked bread alone kept the crew from starv- ing in Ehe terrible storm which ragged Thursday and Friday. The deck load and upper parts were carried away by the storm The bow drifted helplessly out of tlhe path cf lake travel and it was by mere chance that on Friday evening the Colin Campbell sighted the wreck.

MAJORITY FOR REPUBLICANS
Next House of Representatives
 Safely Republican.
Are Assured of Good Working Ma jority in the Lower House by Chairman Baboock-Complexio of the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Nov 7.-At Re- publican and Democratic congressional headquarters the chairmen have been figuring on the complexion of the next house. Chairman Babcock says he has complete reports from 193 congressiOn- al districts which have elected Republi- cans; that there are 135 districts that have elected Democrats and Populists, and twenty-eight districts in which the returns are incomplete
 These may all be chased as doubtful, he says, with the prospect that the Re publieans will secure at leaSt one-half of them, which would make total Re publican membership in the Fifty fifth congress of POT. He claims that under no circumstances will the Republican membership fall below 200.
 Senator Faulkner, chairman of the Democratic committee, although he does not concede the Republicans majority in the next house, gives them 176, within three of "a majority His staItement makes the following division of forces: Total Republican, 176; total Democrat and silver, l6S; doubtful, 12. In the Fifty-fourth congress, Republi cans had PA; Democrats and silver, 115. His figures show a silver and Democahtic silver gain of fifty-six, not taking into consideration the doubtful vote.
 l A table has been issued showing the representation in the next house by states. The total number of repre- sentatives will be 357; Republicans, 227; Democrats, 120; Populists, 8; gold <! Democrats, 2.
 The results already received indicate combined Republican and Democratic sound money men will have a majority in the senate after March 4, 1897. It is probable that a gain from silver to gold senator, either Democratic or Re publican, will be made in each of The following states: Illinois, Indiana, Ken lucky, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The Republican vic tory includes probably the legislatures of several other states now represented in the senate by silver Democrats. In other states gold Democrats will be elected to succeed silver Democrats.

News of Republican Success Sells
 American Securities Abroad.

BERLIN, Nov. Flor many years past no American election has excited such universal attention in Germany as the one just over. During the week preceding the day of election, papers of every shade of opinion published daily articles discussing the issues and candidates, the universal tenor of them being that so far as German interests were concerned it was choice between two evils, the Mckinley evil being the smaller one. Financial circles here es- pecially were greatly interested in the election and great pains were taken to obtain early and reliable information concerning the results. Several banks and finamciers received frequent cables on Wednesday, and as the news began to pour in, the same day things became lively on the stock exchange and brok- CTS did "a good business in American securities. Railroad shares climbed up three or more points by noon.

lREV. DR. ,HALEEY'S CALL
His Acceptance Is a Blow to Oswego
 Friends.

The First Baptist church of this city has issued a call for Rev. Dr. Lewis Halsey of Oswego, New York.
 The oswego Times has the following to say of the gentleman,
 "A surprised audience was That at the West Baptist church last evening, when, at the conclusion of an un- usually stirring and helpful sermon, Dr. Lewis Halsey presented his resig- nation as pastor of the church. Very few were aware of the pastors inten- tion, so that it came upon the people With all the greater shock, creating a universal expression of sympathy and grief.
 "The resignation stated in effect that the health of Mrs. Haisey demanded an immediate removal to milder climate, physicians here and at Clifton Springs having declared that such ac- tion was imperative; that having re cefved call from Fhoerix, Arizona, where the climate was especially adapt ed to the relief of pulmonary troubles. he had decided to accept it, subject to the action of this church.
 "Dr. Halsey expressed his deep re- gret at breaking the pleasant ties he and his family had formed in Ehis city, and his earnest wiSies for the prosperity of the church.
 Ihe call comes to Dr. Halsey from 1 the First Baptist church of Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, having been given with the greatest heartiness and unanimity; and the resignation, II accepted, will take effect December l5. The plans for the removal of his family have not yet been completed however. 1lne present paStoralte has existed for years, Dr. Halsey having come to
 slnis city in October, 1892; and were 1t not for the condition of Mrs ual- sey1s health, would certainly nave con- tinued much longer, so deeply has the pastor won his way into the hearts of the people.
 "If the resignation is accepted and Dr. Halsey removes from our city. tthe church will lose faithful. unsel- fish and untiring pastor, an able preacher, a friend whose tender sym- pathies were always stirred by trouble of any kind, making his a friend in need, and so friend indeed; and the city will lose Christian minister ot peculiarly broad and charitable mind always ready in every good word and work
 "His pastorate here has been marked by prosperity and spiritual er'owth in the church, and both Dr and Mrs. Hal sey will ever ',e remen1he1aaG {rie1 Is and workers who have al ways suah self far out of sight in their devotion to the church and its interests

A RAILROAD SENSATION.
Second Receivership of the Santa Fe
 Creates a Stir.

An Associated Press dispatch from Topeka, Kan, says western railroad circles have a sensation in second re- ceivership for the Santa Fe. The road and equipment in Kansas was yester- day afternoon placed in the control of Commissioner Charles F. Johnson of Oskaloosa, Kan.
 Judge Louis H. Myers of the First district yesterday afternoon at Oska- loosa made the appointment and or dered him to take charge of the prop erty of the Santa Fe Railroad com- pany in Kansas The property consists of nearly 800 miles of railroad, to- gether with shops, depots, engine houses, office buildings, real estate and other property.
 The action which resulted in the ap- pointment of receiver is brought un- der the Kansas law of 1891, which pro- vides that no corporation more than | 20 per cent of whose capital stock is owned by aliens, shall acquire real es- tate in the state of Kansas, and that 1 if any real estate shall be acquired ir violation of this statute it shall be forfeited to the state.
 The statute authorizes any county attorney to bring action in the name of the state for such forfeiture and au- ithorizes and directs the court to ap point a receiver upon presentation by the county attorney of a verified peti ltion. The statute provides that sucI real estate shall be forfeited to tht state.
 The appointment of a receiver ha. been brought about, it is believed, b! the men who opposed the recent reor ganizaItion plan of the Santa Fe. Whe1 the reorganization was effected meet ing was held in Topeka of the oppon ents of the reorganization plan, headed

USEFUL ITEMS.

A morning bath in cold salt water is
delightfully."- invigorating.
A pinch OF salt taken frequently will
stop cough or throat irritation.
Sprinkle places infested by ants with
borax and you will soon be rid OF them.
Bathing the eyes when tired or weak
in warm salt water will soothe and
strengthen them.
If mustard is mixed with the white
OF an egg instead of water, it will d draw
thoroughly without blistering.
The eyes should be bathed every
night in cold water just before retiring,
and they will do better work the fol.
lowing day.
A wash OF oatmeal, sour milk, and
pulverized horse radish will whiten
the hands efiectually. At night rub a
little glycerine and lemon-juice over
them, and draw on a pair of old kid
gloves.
Lemon-juice is excellent for whiten-
ing the skin, but if this is used soap
must be avoided, as the juice acts on the
soap in a manner injurious to the skin.
For removing ink stains or fruit stains
lemon-juice should be Immediately ap-
piled.
To promote the growth of hair
Mix four ounces of castor oil, eight
ounces OF good Jamaica rum, and thirty
drops OF oil of lavender, or ten drops OF
oil of rose; anoint the head occasional.
ly, having previously well-shaken the
bottle containing the mixture.
Use of the lemon in manicuring
Sliced lemon is almost as indis-
pensable an adjunct of the toilet as
the tea table. 1t will. if used with
reason, keep the skin white. If rubbed
across the fingernails it is almost as
effective as manicure scissors in keep
ing down hang nails.
To test coffee put spoonful gently
on the top of a glass of water. If the
coffee is pure it will not sink for some
minutes, and will scarcely color the
water, but if chicory is mixed with it it
will sink to the bottom at once, rapidly
absorbing the water, and also giving
the water dark reddish tinge.
The box of borsx should be as much
in place in every household as the salt
box or the jar of salve for burns. II
is one OF the best agents for softening
water for domestic use. There is no
greater comfort in travelling. In the
laundry it is invaluable. Is also one
OF the best means of rendering fabrics
fire-proof.
"Eat slowly and you will never over
eat" is the advice given by hale,
hearty old man, who says that indiges.
ton comes from imperfect mastication
and fast eating. He might have add.
ed that perfect teeth, or those made as
nearly perfect as possible by good
dentist, will help to solve the difficulty
OF indigestion. If you have an un.
sound tooth you are bound to favor it
by not using. When there are three
or four such teeth one is inclined to
bolt food, rather than run the risk oil
aching molars, and unless one has the
digestive powers of dog. boiling food
is most pernicious practice.
