allowed to fire five shots from the won

had triumphantly brought down a

The smooth-bore rifle was much
talked of among the mountains, and
more than one Kurdish spy had
brought news of it to the brigands'
lcamps. Indeed, the attack from Ar
Igadoun, the year before, had been
mainly prompted by a desire to seize
the famous weapon; which still, how.
ever, remained in it's hiding place.

cate that the senate and house
this winter will stand as follows: SEN
ate-Populsts, 27; repu blicans, IL;
democrats, ?. House-Populists, 60;
repu blicans, As; democrats, 2; free sill
yer repu blicans, 4. This gives the
popu1ists 90 votes on joint ballot, Is
more than a majority over all other
other parties combined. While the re-
pu blicans have not heard from all the
precincts, they do not question the leg
islative claims of their opponents.
Case Frederick will have large plu-
rality for congress in the First district.
Every county declared for him. Doni-
phan gave him 1925 plurality; Potta-
watomie, AS; Atchison, no; Jefferson,
about 100; Nemaha, 93; Leavenworth,
about 200; Brown, nearly 300, and jack
son about 200. This runs his plurality
up to over 5, 900.
j. P. Harris came up from Ottawa
last night. He refuses to concede the
election of Peters, the populist, to con-
gress. Returns at his headquarters
placed him only three votes behind,
and while here he has received mes
sage from his manager, stating that
a mistake of ten votes in his favor
had been discovered in township in
Franklin county. If this is correct,
Mr.. Harris says he is elected.
The result depends upon Wyandotte
county. If the final count there gives
him any margin at all, he is elected
Col Harris got a majority in only two
other counties in the district, Miami
going against him by 225, Franklin by
1O4, Anderson by ia, Linn by 275,
Bourbon by $50 and johnson by ia.
Douglas and Allen gave him MAORI
ties. The Capital claims the election
of Harris by a plurality of SO.
E. r. Ridgely's plurality over s. S
Kirkpatrick for congress in the Third
district is very large. Only Chautau-
qau gave Kirkpatrick a majority, and
that only of 81. Neosho went 391 for
Ridgely; Montgomery, 40; Cherokee,
!, 43o; Cowley, nearly 400; Labette,
about 400, and each of the other coun-
ties larger or smaller majority.
Chairman Breidenthal comedies the
reelection of Charles Curtis in the
Fourth district by 462 votes Shawnee
gave good majority for Curtis, but it
was far below the one usually given.
Butler gave 494 majority to Madden;
Chase. is9 to Madden; Coffey a small
majority to Madden; Greenwood, I5a
to Madden; Lyon, 4s7 to Madden; Wood
son, $50 to Curtis; Morris, 40 to Curtis;
Marion SOS to Curtis, and WabaunSee,
a small majority to Curtis
Congressman Calderhead has been
defeated in the Fifth district by w. d.
Vincent of Clay Center, by a narrow
margin. Indications are that Vincent
will have about 500 plurality. Clay
gave Vincent 800; Cloud, 352; Geary, 81;
Dickinson, 25; Ottawa, 200; Saline, SAT.
Calderhead carried Marshall by 335,
Republic by 1856, Riley by 200 or 300,
Washington by LAG.
| In the Sixth district Mccormick
| (pop) has majority of about 1850
over A. H. Ellis for congress
The exact plurality of Simpson over
Long in the Seventh district will not
| be known for some days, but it will be
close to 2. 500 Longs managers con-
| cede 2, 300 adverse majority.

RABBI vOORsANGER's LECTURE
The Public School as an Instrument of
Civil Government


Rabbi Jacob Voorsanger delivered his
lecture on "The Public Schools as an In
strument of Civil Government" to large
audience in Temple Emanuel last night.
1t was the next to the last of the series
which have proved so interesting and in
structive to his congregation and others
during the last few weeks. "Sectarian
Schools in Their Relation to Political So
ciety" will form the subject of the final
lecture of the course to be delivered next
Friday evening.
1.-THE schools" he said. "are the great
leyeling instrument of the Governments.
Through their influence nationalities give
place to a perfect homogenity.
1.-THE children OF foreigners lose their
foreign identity, as the foreign immigrants
themselves become Americans after the
first generation. The public schools are
the concommitant of citizenship. They
are promotive of homogenitv, inculca ting
love and loyalty for home and country.
'Our public school is the most i'm portant
institution of the Government. Invested
as they are with certain privileges by the
constitution they become grand bulwark
of the Government The children make
the public schools as much as the schools
make them what they are, and as moral
mentor their Importance and influence
cannot be overrated"
The lecture was listened to with great in.
terest and attention.
