Latest Returns from Illinois.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5. Returns from the
state are coming in very slowly. but
bear out early estimates of a ma jority
exceeding 100000 for Nc Kinley, with
Tanner, for governor, running well up.
In Chicago Tanner polled 10000 votes
less than the head of the ticket, but
he ran ahead in many country dis
tricts, and it is believed will not be
far behind Mckinley when the returns
are complete. The entire Cook county
Chicago republican ticket was elect
ed.
A republican majority i'm both
branches OF the state Legislature is as
sured, and in consequence a republican
successor to Senator Palmer, late
candidate for the presidency on the
gold democratic ticket.
The democrats have elected three
and possibly four congressman. Those
elected are: lIinrichsen, i'm the six
tecnth; Hunter, in the nineteen tn,
and Jehu Baker, in the twenty-trst
congressional districts. In the seven

NEW YORK, Nov. 4-Returns re-

United Associated Presses reduce the
doubtful states to two, Kentucky and
North Dakota. Washington, Wyoming
and Kansas and Nebraska Of the states
which were in doubt last night are
transferred to the Bryan column, and
Delaware, Oregon and Indiana are
placed in the Mckinley column. The
vote in Kentucky is close. but advices
indicate that the state Is republican
by small plurality. Delaware and
Oregon are also close states. but are
apparently carried by Mckinley.
The later news from California and
North Dakota is that in the precincts

the margin of votes is SO small that
both states should be still classcd as
doubtful.

A Curious Incident In German Inter

Curious Incident In German Inter
state Relations.
A "Kleinstaaterei" has been abol-
ished in Germany, says the Westminster
Gazette. The little village of Kurnbach,
which has hitherto belonged partly to
the grand duchy of Hesse and partly to
the grand duchy of Baden, was recently
Ivy treaty between the two powers, SOL
emily and forever incorporated into
the grand ducal state of Baden. The
oldest thing about the Joint jurisdic-
tion under which the Kurn bachers have
hitherto lived was that the houses were
not allotted to Hesse or to Baden bv
their position inside or outside any
frontier line betwixt the two states.
but by the date of their erection.
Houses built at one period belonged to
one nationality" houses built at an
ether period belonged to the other. One
policeman was found sufficient to keep
order for both states, and his uniform
vas, consequently, particolored, his
green coat showing that he was the
officer Of Baden, and its blue facincs
and trimmings bearing witness that he
officially represented the majesty, of
Hesse. Now that the hlue has been
stripped of, and nothing but the Baden
green remains, Hessian newspaper
suggests that his old coat should be
presented to the German museum as a
politico-bistorical relic. - -

@ Doiyou know that the*t1ay, which is

Not only will the earth's motion slow
up until the day will be one, two and
three times as long as it is at present,
but this pace-slackening process will
increase with time, until the day will
eventually be a week or even a month
in length. The "retarding medium"
which the astronomers speak of as be-
ing the cause of this phenomenon, is not
fully understood at present.
= Sir Robert Ball says that it is the fric-
ton of the tides which is responsible
for the most of it. He urges that the

Investigators along this line declare
that it will be absolutely impossible
for this day-lengthening process to in
crease beyond one lunar month.

DO IT NOW:

Some = Everyday Advice for Everyday
az: People-Procrastinati
A .shccessful business man says that
he owes" much of his prosperity to a
lesson taught him by his employer.
This mans principle was: "Doit now"
Instead of putting things of, says the
Natural Stockman, with the idea of at
tending to them ''some time," he made
it q rule to do it now" Thus hewas
often in advance of his competitors,
both in taking hold of a good thing or
letting go of an improbable one. This
principle may be applied to the smaller
affairs of life as well as to the more i'm
portant. The little things we ought to
do and don't do worry US most. "Some
time. they must be attended to, and
the oftener they are brought to mind
and dismissed again to that indefinite
time the more trouble they give US.
Then after all we are often surprised
to find how little trouble it is to at
tend to! these things, and want some
body to kick us for not realizing it
sooner: Happy is the man whose rule
is promptness in all things.

HER WEDDING PRESENTS.
The Princess Maud Now Possesses Forty
Eight Wheels.

Eight Wheels.
1t is evident that Princess Ma:1d,
who married Prince Carl of Denmark,
will not lack for means of locomotion,
says the London Letter. The parents of
the bride and the aristocracy having
presented their gifts to the young
bridal couple, they are now being iol-
lowed by the numerous towns, counties,
.shires and guilds. Among the presen is
received there are not less than 4Sladies'
bicycles, for it is known that Princess
Maud is an enthusiastic wheelwoman.
There are wheels of almost every class,
make and of the most varied construc-
tons and executions, some adorned
with engravings and others with in
scriptions. Besides the wheels the
princess is the recipient of sew
eral dozen motor carriages, some
driven by steam, others by petroleum
motors, compressed air and electricity.
Since the exhibition of wedding pres
ents is still fashionable in aristocratic
England, the show of Princess Maud's
wedding gifts looks very much like a
cycle show or an exhibition of motor
carriages.

*"It:is generally supposed that little

The practical conclusion to be drawn
from these experiments is that disinfec-

that a quantity of baths must be.given

be taken and no detail is superduous.

WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.
New YORK Boasts tho Site Of an Old In.
dian Village.

dian Village.
In a seldom-frequented and isolated
spot within the limits Of New York
city lis the site of what was once an
Indian village of considerable size. De-
tween Spuyten Duyvil creek, about Il
quarter of mile south of the northern
end of Manhattan island, and the hills
that mark the bank of the Hudson there
is d comparatively level semi-circular
space of 20 or 30 acres. Here stood the
Indian village. The hills were pro.
lection from the weather and at times
from enemies, and the strong tide which
runs swiftly in and out of Spuy ten
.Duyvil creek is treacherous and afford
cd protection against the approaches
of any but those well skilled in hand
ling boat. A mound was found here
some years ago that extended over
three acres, and it consisted largely Of
millions of oyster shells, evidently the
debris of a village. Among these shells
have been found bits of rude broken
Indian pottery and arrow heads, and
in the caves of the hills back of it were
found excellent specimens of Indian
pottery. In Bryant's history the story
of Henry Hudson's voyage in the Half
Moon up the Hudson in 1909 is told,
and it states that, on his return down
the river, Hudson was attacked tby
about 100 Indians who came out of
Spuyten Duyvil creek and were finally
beaten back. Presumably. they came
from the village whose site is now
marked by the old mound. -. T.
